April 15, (THEWILL) – Precious Chikwendu, the embattled wife of former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani Kayode, has cautioned those blaming late gospel minister, Osinachi Nwachakwu, for not speaking up while being allegedly abused by her husband, Peter Nwachakwu.
The mother of four took to her Facebook page on Thursday and stated that the apostle of patriarchy would have shamed and silence the 42-year-old singer, had she raised the alarm from being physically abused by her partner.
She also released pictures of her bloodied nose, legs and other parts of her body allegedly suffered while she co-habited with her estranged husband.
She accused her former husband of brutalising her whilst staying with him. She further stated that some wife-batterers, buoyed by societal applause, “walked free and even contested to be president in the next election.”
“I’ve been silently reading so much blame people are heaping on Osinachi for not speaking up. Sweethearts, you can’t understand the weight on a victim of domestic violence or how we go through so much compartmentalisation on how the world would look at us.
“Close friends waiting to laugh at us, those who would say we warned you, how our family would humiliate us of putting them to shame if we do leave, how we would be irrelevant in places where we were deemed relevant by the status of marriage or maintaining a home.
“You all forget that a narcissist partner is one who feels threatened by the ability or potential of their partner and I’ve said this to so many men and women I’ve a chance to speak with after eating enough of this breakfast. If he is or she is imtimidated by your personality, achievement, charisma, strength or God-giving talent, sweethearts run for your life.
“Envy mixed with a slice of hate is violence-prone when it has to do with partners or lovers. If he or she can’t learn to talk over arguments without turning a red eye on you, screaming at you, which would graduate to punches, the absolute need to intimidate or silence you on every unintended provocation, the adrenaline rush when they exert authority or control, RUN.
“Blaming a victim in constant fear is why most will not speak up as so many are reading these negative contribution. Osinachi would have walked away if she had just a bit of self esteem intact, she let go because she felt worthless.”
Of late, the ex-minister and member of All Progressive Congress (APC), who is facing money laundering charges at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, has been seen campaiging for Kogi State Governor, Yaya Bello to become Nigeria’s president in 2023.
Also, for over a week since the death of Osinachi Nwachakwu and the outrage trailing the distasteful circumstances that surrounded her passing. FFK as he is fondly called has not condemned domestic violence on his social media accounts.
