Last Year November, Ozioma Okonkwo was arrested in Enugu State after his wife accused him of defiling their two daughters and even allegedly threatening to kill her if she ever tries to expose the secret. I remember social media being agog with different types of takes until evidence was brought forth that the man didn't do it. The saddest part of the video is that the man himself refused to believe his wife could ever accuse him of such. He even defended her right in front of the police interrogators. After he was later not found guilty, everywhere quieted down immediately. People who wrote hot takes about it became silent. Now, every time you go online to check his name, it is associated with rape. That stigma will be with him forever. That’s what happens with fake rape accusations. In this age of screenshots and search engines, an allegation travels faster than due process. Even when the law clears you, Google does not forget. Employers don’t forget. Neighbours don’t forget. Your children don’t escape it. So when people say, “If you’re not a rapist, why are you angry when women say all men?” they ignore a simple truth, which is that collective language creates collective suspicion. Suspicion creates bias and bias destroys innocent lives. None of this reduces the horror of rape. Rape is evil. It ruins bodies, minds, families. It deserves the full weight of the law. Survivors deserve to be heard, protected, and believed enough for claims to be properly investigated. But justice is not a mob emotion. It is a process. A society that wants to eradicate rape must also protect the innocent from false destruction. Both things can be true at the same time. When we abandon balance, we don’t strengthen justice, we weaken it.

It didn't start today... The truth is, they don’t actually care where you’re from. They won’t ask you either. They won’t check. They won’t even pause long enough to separate your language from your ethnicity or your culture from geography. In their heads, as long as you’re not a Northerner, specifically not Fulani... you automatically fall into the Igbo bracket. And once they put you there, they’ll treat you the way they’ve been conditioned to treat anyone who fits that label, whether it’s accurate or not. That’s why you can say you’re Ibibio, Annang, Ukwani, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Edo, or anything else… it won’t matter. Their attacks aren’t rooted in facts, they’re rooted in prejudice.

They sent me a video of my cocoa harvest today. I planted the seedlings some four years ago from proceeds I earned as a research writer on fiver. I bought 8 acres of farmland and planted cocoa on it. When i started, I didn't know I'd one day be fully invest in farming. Today, I have close to 40 acres of farmland and still hoping to hit 100 acres before the year ends. In the second frame is the oil palm and cocoa nursery for a 20 acre famrland i just cleared and preparing for the planting season. You are welcome to my farm journey. If you want to go into farming, this page is the right place for you
