Rest In Peace Omozoje Titilayo Oyakhire

Titilayo was a mother, daughter, sister and friend, who had so much going for her. She was young, only in her twenties, had a good job, a beautiful daughter, a lot of dreams she wanted to accomplish but on Friday June 24, her life was violently cut short by her husband, Akolade Lukeman Arowolo, who stabbed her multiple times, then dismembered her body. Now he blames the devil!

If you are in an abusive relationship, then please look at Titi, look at her and ask yourself...why am I letting this happen to me? Don't I deserve better? Marriage is a wonderful thing, but when it's abusive physically or emotional, then it's ugly and God don't like ugly. 

A man who physically hurts you is worthless and doesn't deserve your time, your body, your peace of mind or your life. Think about it, what could be worst than being in constant physical and emotional pain? What's worst than the shame, the degradation, the shattering of self-worth, being constantly depressed, anxious, scared of someone you are supposed to love? What's worst than that? If you’re afraid of being alone, be more afraid of what will happen to you if you stay. You think Titi envisaged this would happen to her?

There's no shame in being divorced or single, the world might talk about it, but only for a little while. But if you die, the world will move on, and your children will suffer without you there to guide and protect them. Staying in an abusive relationship is not even healthy for your children. If you can't walk away for yourself, then do it for them. Living with an abusive man is no way to live. Let him go, he's not worth it! Please think about it.

Rest in peace Titilayo.
