On July 15, 2018, The Guardian Life wrote a cover titled, “Countering The Rape Culture in Nigeria”. In a society where rape culture continues to have its apologists, these recent incidents have answered past conversations and arguments. Attempted rape attracts 14 years imprisonment and gang rape, a minimum of 20 years. “Rape is rape” and for Nigerians to get that poignant statement to the mainstream, rapists must have no place to hide. It is not enough that society learns to cancel on social media, there is a need to take the intensity of the war on social media to the streets until the message is passed to the average Nigerian and the government.
