Hello Everyone

Over the past weekend it was trending that Mrs Osinachi Nwachucku, a well known worship singer in Nigeria had died. The cause of death was said to be that her husband had kicked her in her chest!

Why did she stay?
Why do people stay?

What can we do for people who tell us of abuse?
1. LISTEN to them

Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion - she tells I think her neice how to handle a situation... I don't condone violence but here, you can see it's an issue that happens. I wish there was a second film showing what happened to him after the oatmeal scene... did he, the abuser change or go to someone else and the cycle continued?
2. Train our sons to not take nor give it
3. Speak out, speak up Proverbs 31:8-9
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.

5. Be empowered- do something! Don't be dependent on anyone.
Side hustle is okay!
I love Pastor Funke Adejumo for this... she tells people to have a life,
My dad died when I was less than 5 years old... my mom was able to work and take care of us.

6. You're important with or without marriage... I come from a culture where marriage is important and people have suffered emotional, physical and untold abuse because they think they should be married.
God created man and woman and we are valuable in His sight Gen 1:27,
