Hi guys, Today, I was just having some random thoughts and different things came to my mind regarding the wonders these Oyinbos have invented to make Life easier and I was like WOW. These people are great!… but what’s stopping them from getting the cure for HIV/AIDS? I asked myself If they are able to invent all these 1. An Aeroplaneis capable of carry 600 people flying from one country to another when ordinary paper can’t hang in the air for 2 seconds, what is stopping them? 2. If they can build Ships capable of carrying up to 300 cars and can spend 2 months on the sea without sinking but ordinary stone can’t float for 1 minute, what is stopping them? 3. If they can invent Smartphones, and we can now talk to our family and friends who are 5 million miles away, what is stopping them? If I should continue listing all what seems impossible but they have successfully invented ehn, 2 months I can’t finish.  All these Invented but the Cure to HIV?AIDS still remains

A Nigerian woman took to Facebook to share what she's training her daughter to become. According to her, she said she's training her daughter to cripple, or kill any rapist that comes her way and her daughter should not wait for Law. This she wrote comes as a result of the news she saw online about a Mexican who was not found guilty of raping a 17-year-old girl. According to what Blessing McColumbus wrote;"Am training my daughter to cripple, or kill any rapist that comes her way. Am not training her to get raped, and wait for the Law, and the stigma. For things like this, that I saw Milly's post... I will urge every parent to train ur kids, especially ur daughters, to kill, or cripple any future, rapist. Take it from me.. If this idiot can walk free off rape, cos he didn't enjoy it... And a high court judge, ruled this.... He has been released to rape again. Once beaten, twice shy. Let this upcoming generation, kill them all.
