He broke into the home of his former wife who he was separated from for over a year and their divorce is being processed and murdered her and her new partner on their couch.
This is such a fucking irresponsible headline.

Missing Context:
Ana Abulaban had been separated from Ali Abulaban for over one year, and their divorce was finalizing. Ali had abused Ana during their marriage.

A 17 year old girl was raped INSIDE the police station by a senior police officer. The police officers are pleading with the mother to dismiss the case because he will soon retire. The PRO cannot be bothered
These are the police to whom we're supposed report rape.

People are saying this was maliciously done and I actually don’t think so and to me that’s worse.
My worst nightmare is partnering with someone who is astoundingly stupid.
She was running a marathon and about to win, then her husband had the bright idea to use HER KIDS and slow her down JUST BEFORE THE FINISH LINE? Like he could have actually done it at the finish line. You cannot convince me that this was not maliciously done

If you told me that the same man that took two bikes to my fathers house in VGC cause I was craving a bounty would one day be the same man I had to DRAG on the internet to see the child WE were so excited to have, I would have cursed you.
Men will switch up and leave you dizzy.
Having a baby with a bum is one of my greatest fears in this life. The permanence of it is terrifying. I’d choose infertility over it anytime.

In case you’ve missed this on your TL, this is the rapist. Officer OWOLABI AKINLOLU, a Superintendent of Police. This 56 year old man lured a 17 year old to his office, hit her with his gun, raped her and told her to come back daily to be raped again.
This is his face!

When we ask women in abusive relationships (physical, emotional,sexual, financial etc) why don't they leave, I hope we remember this tweet.
This is a young girl in her formative years that's being told that if you rebel or do not conform, basic rights (and education is a right)
My sister once missed uni because she was forming feminist and grown at 18. 😂
We kept getting reports that she refused to do chores at home and always said I’m 18, I’m grown. She later got admission into a private uni, but me & my brothers refused to pay her tuition that year. She missed it.
By the next year, she came back to her senses and we sorted her out. Today, she’s an OAP and doing really well.
Tough love isn’t wickedness sometimes it saves lives.

You people are still marrying men???
Cheated on his wife, abandoned his kids and he’s sharing it as a positive story and men are hailing him.
lol
I always feel reluctant to talk about my failed marriage so that people won’t assume I’m still nursing any wound that wasn’t there.
But for the sake of people who would learn from my past and to validate John Doe’s teaching, it’s worth sharing.
When I found out my ex-wife was serious about leaving and had even rented an apartment nearby, I asked if she was sure, and she said yes.
The following morning, a rusty old van showed up, and she moved most of her things in my presence while I was just having some playful moment with the kids.
She tried to leave behind a few of the kids’ toys. I told her to take them along since the kids would need them.

Yesteday I interviewd a potential driver. He came in, I asked if he would like water, he said "ofcourse". I got him a glass of water and we started the interview.
All through I felt ill at ease but he didn't say anything wrong per se so I figured I was just being somehow.

Sometimes an Alabaru is just an Alabaru. Let people play their roles please.
Gave a man my number today because he casually picked up my heaviest suitcase with one hand and put it on the trolly like he was lifting a purse.
That did something to me. It was also very gentlemanly of him to offer.
Just remembered the same guy was really polite in Atlanta.

Nigerians really hate this thing and I don’t understand it. Why shouldn’t I price shop? Also if you just put your prices on your page like a normal person then you don’t have to deal with a million “how much?” Inquiries.
Asking vendors for their price just to do compare and contrast to know who is cheaper...
