A wise man once said, “In God we trust, all other must bring data."
I am not a fan of tiktok but my younger sister kept feeding me the story. It wasn't adding up. How many victims of rape find it easy to jump in front of the camera without evidence? You mean she didn't show a hospital report? You mean she didn't report to the police station and give the police his name?
Until rape gets a capital punishment, many rapist will still get away with it.
Our brain naturally attaches to negative stories more than positive ones, explains why a lot of people believed her at first,
I didn't even have TikTok, when i saw people talking about it, so I installed and checked yesterday, and it abit obvious that the story doesn't quite add up.
And the fact of these whole scenario, is that ladies quickly believed when she claimed she was raped, and guys quickly believed when it was discovered as a false accusation, we are all just naturally baised to our gender, and most aren't conscious of it.
In a world full of people with different stories everyday, I would just say what can be asserted without evidence can be disproved without evidence, everyone has the right to choose what they decide to believe.
In this same Nigeria that people will cheat and deceive you then laugh in your face for allowing yourself to be fooled, there are people who willingly embrace naivete. Me I no fit understand.
this was a beautiful read, and one i 80% agree with, apart from this part where you wrote this
"One last thing. The strangest comment I’ve heard from people discussing this case is that it makes it difficult for others to take future rape victims seriously. But that makes no sense"
i believe that once a pattern reoccurs more than one, the human brain/consciousness makes an effort to note that pattern and works not to fall into it or for it.
for example take the story of the boy who cried wolf, we all know how the story went.
all i'm saying is that nobody is wrong or stupid saying that it'd be wrong for them not taking rape cases seriously in the future, in fact i fall under that sector
i believe rape happens, but going forward without proper investigation and a storyline that doesn't sound like a failed DC series, i won't sympathize with a rape story
You know what's funny?? We offer critical thinking skills as a course in my school,but many dullards fell for that story,and we're causing a ruckus on the school group chat cause of it 😂😂.

once bitten twice shy.
This write-up is a proper transcript of my conversation with my friends when the Truth about this issue came to light
Just like any sane person, I kept quiet and waited. Whilst everyone hoped on the bandwagon.
I wish her all the best tho,
And yes — this WILL affect future victims , especially those who think tiktok is the first place to report a crime.

Believe women? Fine. But believe evidence more!
Evidence first.
