Nigerian singer Emma Chukwugoziam Obi, who is also known as Emma Nyra, has taken to her Twitter account to call out male celebrities who she shared her rape story with but who didn’t do anything to help at the time.
In a series of tweets, Emma Nyra stated that most of them speaking up against sexual abuse are still working with the same man who raped her.
She also encouraged abuse victims to speak up, even as she offered to “assist you as best as I can.”
Read her tweets below:
“If we as a society do not come to the aid of women who have been preyed upon and taken advantage of, then how can we expect them to have the courage to speak up?! It’s high time that any victims of Rape or abuse are treated accordingly and as a victim of heinous crimes.
“Silencing a victim or shaming a victim is further emotional abuse upon the suffering and damage that has already been done! It’s time to hold everyone accountable for their actions regardless of their wealth or social status! Victims are not criminals!
“If there are any victims of abuse who do not have the courage or strength to speak up please get in contact with me and I will assist you as best as I can. I will always offer my help to you as best as I can. We are survivors and we are stronger together. This is the truth about the industry.
“Imagine what’s happening right now is what you have SEEN. Imagine all the things that you haven’t heard or SEEN
“I can see all the male celebrities and notable figures that told my story to in confidence trying to speak up for abuse now. You lot still kept working with the same man. It’s actually making me sick. I feel so sick right now.
