Ashawo!!!!! Just dey open leg anyhow, see all these small girls that lack home training Even if na rape, what was she wearing that day? na lie jor!! Na she cos am See when they say marry before children some people will not listen? I feel sad for her parents sha ....what a disgrace What they don’t see: Her struggle to provide for her children Her starvation for her kids to eat Her working multiple jobs to be a provider Her determination to go to school and still raise a child Her Rambo-ish resurrection When she makes it out of the ditch that they put her in they begin to They begin to "famz" her and praise her like Winne the Pooh loves honey. They are stronger than you would ever know and they need our help They should not be thrown out They should not be forgotten Sometimes they need help but they don’t know how to ask Be there and ready for them when they ask And most importantly to the families of the widowed; they need support, not insults To the family of single mums, they need all the support you can give
