Let me ask you something.

To everyone saying Mr Nkubi and his wife shouldn’t have posted their daughter on social media.

Should every child that doesn’t fit society’s perfect mold be kept indoors?
Should children with unique features, disabilities, or medical conditions be hidden like secrets until you think they’re normal enough to be seen?

Is that the world we’re building?

You say they’re exposing her to ridicule. True, the internet can be cruel. But tell me, is the problem the child, or the bullies?

Because if you blame her parents instead of the trolls, then you’ve already decided that her existence is a problem. That her presence is a disturbance.

Let me take it personal.

I was born with a health condition. For years, I battled not just the condition, but the silence, the shame, the hiding. I know what it means for the world to tell you, You’re not good enough to be seen.

Do you know how many of us are still healing from the kind of protection that made us feel invisible?

You say they posted her for Facebook money.
Maybe they did.
Maybe they also posted her because they wanted to say,
“This is our daughter. She is beautiful. She belongs.”

And if you have to squint to see her beauty, maybe you’re the blind one.

Let me ask one last thing.

When that child grows up and finds out that the whole world talked about her, but her parents hide her just to protect her, how do you think she’ll feel?

Sometimes, love looks like boldness, not silence.

Sometimes, protection is choosing visibility even when the world is crúel. because shame can do more damage than ridicule.

You don’t have to agree with the parents.
But don’t silence children just because they don’t fit the frame.
