A Nigerian writer, Isaac somto has written a masterpiece of a story about Nigeria: The Virgin raped at night.

He tells a story of a once innocent, sweet and fragile Nigeria until her purity is snatched by a Man.

This is the story of a virgin raped, at night
This is additionally the account of how she conceived beings known for destruction, at night
At night, when light slithers to rest in another piece of the earth
When we only see stars when our occipital faces the earth.

During the night when we shut our eyes to rest in the year 1974
For we have had our Udoji salary awards
We dozed all grins as our hands rested on top our jutting bellies
He thumped on her doors.

She grinned as she cat walked to open the door
Much to her dismay what lies behind the protection of her door.
In what manner will she know? For she was simply birthed in the year 1960
A virgin damaged by wars she has seen in 1967 – 1970
She was simply recovering.

He smiled as he saw her beauty, he had heard a great deal of anecdotes about her beauty
She has never seen a smile so enchanting as his, however underneath his smiles laid obliteration
He got her and pushed her to lie on her soft bed
Finding himself between her delicate thighs, he had his way.

She shouted. She continued praying and he continued preying
But who minded? Who tuned in to her screams?
We never heard her shouts, we were lost in dreams on the most proficient ways to spend our salary awards
We became deaf. Perhaps our fathers were right, for they said when death needs to kill a man it makes him deaf
We never knew taking her virginity was taking our future.

This is the story of a once virgin, Nigeria
