A Nigerian lady has stirred up the hornet’s nest on social media platforms following false accusations of rape levelled against a man.
Cynthia, the lady in question, had raised some dust on Twitter in September, after she accused the man of attempting to rape Anita, her friend.
She had also claimed the man attempted to forcefully have carnal knowledge of her friend on two occasions and warned ladies to steer clear of him.
Following the reactions that trailed the accusations, the suspect was said to have sought legal action against Cynthia.
But on Sunday, the accused, using the Twitter handle @ynotes_, shared recordings of conversations between himself, Anita, Cynthia and Tega, another friend of theirs.
Tega served as a mediator as they attempted to settle out of court.
“Before now, it was my words against theirs but now I’ve got @cynnerr apologizing privately (3rd tweet) & @_Eggovin admitting the fact that they both lied (8th tweet),” he wrote in a series of tweets.

3.) I reached out to Cynthia, in an attempt to reason with her and convince her to publicly state the truth of the situation, in her words she said "it was a misunderstanding" & she agreed to tweet publicly, but wht she did instead was block my number after we met pic.twitter.com/zsKGxB5s45

In the recordings, Cynthia is heard explaining that it was just a misunderstanding. While apologising, she also appears unwilling to retract her statement for fear of online criticism.
This has, however, sparked outrage on the microblogging platform as users have registered their annoyance at Cynthia.
Despite Anita’s claim that Ynotes altered the recordings to suit his narrative, her comment did nothing to abate the backlashes on social media.
But he edited vital parts out to suit his narrative.
When we figured he had nothing to say to us, we told him we'll rather go to court.
Then we took our leave.
We reached out to him to send his house address as in the advance court copy he sent had a false address.— meimurna. (@_Eggovin) October 14, 2019

As of the time this report was filed, Cynthia and Anita’s accounts were locked, preventing users who are not following them from accessing their feeds.
“Cynthia must go to jail for false rape accusation!,” one Twitter user wrote.
“So some people are saying Cynthia shouldn’t go to jail because “ShE is 19” or “she doesn’t understand herself” Just a few years in Kiri Kiri, she’ll definitely understand herself. It’s called a correctional facility for a reason, that her head wey no correct go correct by force,” another Twitter user said.
Here is what some Nigerians had to say:
Cynthia must go to jail for false rape accusation!
Cynthia must go to jail for false rape accusation!
Cynthia must go to jail for false rape accusation!
Cynthia must go to jail for false rape accusation!
Cynthia must go to jail for false rape accusation!

So some people are saying Cynthia shouldn’t go to jail because “ShE is 19” or “ShE doEsN’t UnDerStAnd HeRsElf”
Just few years in kirikiri, she’ll definitely understand herself.
It’s called a correctional facility for a reason, that her head wey no correct go correct by force.

I'm not sure this Cynthia understands the damage here. Firstly she tarnishes the guys image and refuses to retract her statement, the other side of this whole lying thing spoils the credibility of women who have actually been rape. 💔

Do you know how many lives have been ruined because they were wrongly accused of rape? Like how do you sleep at night knowing someone is in jail because your stupid lies?
If Cynthia is found guilty, she should be jailed to serve as deterrent to others not to use Rape for clout.

19 year old Cynthia: I love to see my victims beg and cry
30 year old Oz: Yaas Queen! I stan
26 year old Mo: I love you girl…I'm following you
Tweeps with plenty followers will make you think they have worth & sense
A 19 year old is giving you standards.
Hanty Oponu 😩😩😩

I’m seeing people say “mind who you have sex with” “stop having sex with childish people” as if CHILDISHNESS is written with ink on someone’s forehead.
Just pray that God remove people as childish and stupid as Cynthia, Anita and tega from your path
— AJ | Adonai (@mrmanhere_) October 14, 2019
Cynthia did something stupid. Period.
Has nothing to do with her being 19.
If you think people are prone to being stupid or automatically stupid because you’re young, I came here to tell you that you’re stupid and that you have lot of “growing up” to do🙂🤡— عائشة سعد🤪 (@TheAeesha) October 14, 2019
Ok, here is the full Cynthia gist
THREAD!!!
So it all started when cynthia @cynnerr tweeted a supposed rape accusation against @ynotes_ last month on the 4th of september precisely…

When you allow social media control your life, you start making bad decisions . How a person is more concerned about her online reputation but neglecting the real life kickbacks on others.. Why Cynthia cannot retract a statement & apologise after a false accusation is troubling.
— IgboMade (@volqx) October 14, 2019
People are really trying to defend what Cynthia did based on her age, saying she's 19.
Just so you know,19 is an adult and can serve jail term.
This and many more is the reason I love older women
— Ogbuefi Okafor🇳🇬 (@MistaChika) October 14, 2019
Anyway, I'm going to sleep.
This Cynthia drama is what happens when your feminism is centred on hating men or making women's rights and freedom about men.
Everyday, men this men that. Angry, loud, mess devoid of coherent thought and NUANCE.

What is rattling my Spirit about this Cynthia & Partners in crime issue is the fact that Ynotes is Talking Soo Calmly & asking for an Apology after being Falsely Accused of Rape & apparently lost his Job.
— King Nonny 👑 (@Zaddy_nomso) October 13, 2019
Just go on Twitter and say the truth of what happened, also Apologize
Cynthia: I can’t because of the backlash
Now you are collecting Backlash, frontlash, underlash and Middle lash plus Kirikiri 🤡
— Trouble Maker 😒(G.O). (@ObongRoviel) October 13, 2019
So Cynthia and Tega will choose to go to prison rather than take Twitter backlash? You damaged someone in real life and you don’t want to retract the statement because Twitter people will insult you? Lol the title of this movie is “ My journey to Kirikiri maximum prison “
— DREYLO (@RealDreylo) October 13, 2019
The punishment for false accusation of rape should be d exact punishment of a rapist too.
I want to see Anita and Cynthia bag 14yrs jail term or more each.
You both destroyed an innocent boy reputation & you're still refusing to retract because of backlash.
Koni da fun yin

This Cynthia story happened over some months but it didn't trend much and i followed it up that period
" you accused someone of rape called him out on twitter and when he confronted you, you said he can't do shit that was when Baba slapped you with court order"
— EBUKA 🇳🇬 (@9ja_ronin) October 13, 2019
But seriously tho.
Cynthia was more willing to go to court than to admit her wrong doing and get dragged on Twitter.
I don't know whether to blame our legal system for being too feeble to scare anyone or Cynthia for taking Twitter strangers' rages too seriously.
— Mazi Marvin the Paranoid Android (@Boboye_Ak) October 13, 2019
There's this cynthia, ynotes controversy trending, i don't even understand these people but that shit feels staged asf, accent sounding Japanese, they even made videos and subtitled them, leemao una get time o, just to trend smh
— BAYOung (@mr_adebayo5) October 13, 2019
Let's get some things straight from this Cynthia brouhaha…..1) age is not the determinant of sense, 2) risking jailtime to avoid Twitter backlash is very stupid
3) we now have yet another evidence that being pretty doesn't mean you don't have cobwebs in your head!— ifeoluwatoyosi❤️❤️😍😍😍 (@hernameisyosi) October 14, 2019
Honestly, yall need to stop defending cynthia and stop saying she is 19, being 19 is not a license to ruin people's lives… she is old enough to face the consequences of her actions, and she should be in court
— nelson (@adebowalenelson) October 14, 2019
Sometimes maturity doesn't have to do with age, after the Cynthia stuff, lots where posting to stay away from ladies below 25yrs, I must tell you, a lady that will be stupid will surely be irrespective of the age, just pray not to meet a devilish woman, a a ni kagbako oooo
— Ade_authority (@adeolarebecca15) October 14, 2019
Please, you people should stop supporting rubbish, inmagine someone saying the guy is trying to manipulate them. The way some people think though😡 #cynthia
— IG: @shugzandspicewears (@holar_shuga) October 14, 2019
Cynthia isn't a good listener.😏
You see why education and comprehension is important?
How did she miss an actual rape story with an attempted "rape" scene?
Or maybe you have terrible communication skills or this whole thing is an outright lie for twitter clout.
Which is it? https://t.co/ZEyxjIBFzx

I also hope this #Cynthia matter together with #sexforgrades would teach men to keep their penis in their trouser and stop wandering around being a public penis..if you can't abstain, get one 🍑 and stay loyal to that ONE only. #nodrama
