To be without sight, is blindness and yet not all that are without blindness could truly see. To see with your eyes is, too, blindness. To truly see is to see with your mind.

Glasses are for impaired sight, and yet a blind man is the last person to need glasses. Cries and mourning are for the living, and only those who are not poor can get broke. To not be loved is painful, but only those who have loved and have been loved back can get heartbroken. If you have food, then you can complain that there is not enough meat.

Only the unbroken may be broken

Some of us aren't that lucky. Some of us don't have physical freedom, emotional freedom or even spiritual freedom.

22 parts Ongoing
In a world where the lines between reality and hell are blurred,the lines between culture and oppression are also blurred, a young girl's life is forever shattered by the brutal hand of a father, the feeling of utter helplessness becomes her constant companions. In Northern Nigeria, a culture of silence and oppression reigns supreme. Behind the closed doors of seemingly ordinary homes, a sinister reality lurks, where women are subjected to unimaginable abuse and brutality. This is not just a story about domestic violence, but a stark reflection of the harsh realities that many women face in Northern Nigeria, where the societal norms and cultural expectations perpetuate a cycle of abuse and fear. In this intense and thought-provoking tale, we delve into the lives of women who are trapped in loveless and violent marriages, where the threat of divorce is a luxury they cannot afford. Financial dependence and the fear of social ostracism force them to endure the unimaginable, their voices muffled by the weight of societal expectations. Mothers, daughters, and sisters are all victims of this vicious cycle, where the notion of "family honor" is used to justify the brutal suppression of their rights and dignity. The story exposes the dark underbelly of a society where women are treated as commodities, their bodies and minds subjected to the whims of their husbands and in-laws. This is a story that will leave you breathless and disturbed, a story that will challenge your perceptions and force you to confront the harsh realities of a society that is deeply entrenched in oppression. It is a story that will make you question the very fabric of our society and the values that we hold dear. Dive into this intense and emotional story, where the boundaries between reality and nightmare are pushed to the limit, and the true meaning of survival is put to the test.
