Rape is popular, and no matter how hard we work to prevent it, it is still happening, and most time when people are raped they have no idea what they should do. No one prays or prepares for it. Rape could damage one’s life even without them know about it. Since it is still happening and there is no way to put a complete stop to it, all we can do is talk about how to prevent it and how to react if ever happens to you.
The truth is that there are no specific set of rules or an outline of actions to take if it happens, there are no definite ways to react, and it is different for everyone. You need to find what works for you. These are 3 things you should do if you are raped.

Go To The Hospital For Check Up

Rape could do a lot of terrible things to you, from injuries to infections to being pregnant, if ever someone gets raped, one thing they should quickly do is go to the hospital for checkup and to make sure everything is well, she may need drugs too to help with the pain depending on how bad it was and most of all she needs a doctor’s report as a proof of the rape.

Report To The Authorities

One thing that can help a rape victim heal, is knowing that the person responsible is in prison. According to the Nigerian constitution, rape offense gets one life imprisonment attempted rape gets one over 7 years. If you have gone to the hospital and you have the report with DNA samples, all you need to do is present it to the court, they will test the samples against him and he will go to prison. If you don’t go to the hospital or you wash up before going there, you would lose all the evidence. It’s hard, but immediately after it happens is the best time.

 Talk to Someone About it

Rape brings some very high levels of emotional trauma and psychological issues too. A person who was raped may never be able to recover from it, they may never be able to trust again or have meaningful relationships. They could even go as far as suicide, this is why if you get raped it’s always best to see a professional who would help you through the process.
Even if you can’t see one for any reason, you should at least tell people about it, let them know and be there to support you through all of it.
Rape is never your fault, it is never because of anything you did or didn’t do and we never pray that anyone gets raped, but then this is just something to know, just in case.

Early life and education.

Herbert Wigwe, born in 1966, grew up with his family in Omueke, Isiokpo, Rivers State. His parents, of Ikwerre heritage, raised him alongside his three sisters, Joyce, Peggy, and Stella, and his brother Emeka.

His learning journey started at an early stage, and he spent his school days at St. Gregory’s College in Lagos, soaking up knowledge and preparing for his future. After graduating, he set his sights even higher, enrolling at the prestigious University of Nigeria, Nsukka. There, he studied accounting, earning his degree in 1987.

Wigwe didn’t just stop with one big brain-booster degree!

He dove deeper with another master’s degree in financial economics from the University of London the very next year.

And even later in life, in 2006, he showed he was still keen on learning new things by taking part in a special program called the Harvard Business School Executive Management Program.

All this hard work and dedication made Wigwe a strong force in his field. He was recognized by institutes like the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Nigeria and the Institute of Credit Administration.

The Styrofoam Ban: What Is Your Take?

What Is Your Take On The Styrofoam Ban | Fab.ng

On January 21, 2024, Tokunbo Wahab, a lawyer and Commissioner of the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, Lagos State, made a tweet announcing the ban on Styrofoam. According to him, styrofoam plastics are a menace to the environment, hence the ban.

It is a great development. In fact, a good number of people commended the development.

One thing to note about this new development is its hasty implementation. It doesn’t seem like there was enough publicity for the development so that people and businesses could prepare beforehand. It’s safe to say that the government woke up in the middle of the night and whipped up a policy without thinking of the consequences for the citizens of Lagos.

This is not to dispute the damaging effect of styrofoam plastics on the ecosystem and the health of humans. They not only end up in gutters, water bodies, and landfills, but they are also non-biodegradable and end up staying in the places where they’re dumped because they cannot be decomposed. They’re also very dangerous to use to package edibles.

But bans should be implemented in phases. As a country operating democratically, decisions should not be made hastily without consideration. There should also be alternatives to help people adjust. The government could step in by subsidising safer food packaging options to encourage people to shift from styrofoam plastics. They could also encourage people to return styrofoam from landfills or dumpsites to government centres in exchange for incentives. Humans are part of the ecosystem, and if the government is looking out for the ecosystem, a huge part of that is putting citizens into consideration when making policies.

A good number of people agree with my stance.
