The 9ja-Stockholm syndrome
A Nigerian variation of the bog-standard Stockholm syndrome. A condition simple to explain but difficult to understand.
Characteristics:
You worship the person who steals from you and berate those who try to expose the robbers.
Further Explanation:
(1) "We would rather kill the mouse in the house, than the cobra lurking in the corner" - Source KO
(2) "Even AFTER the mouse has been chased out of the house, they will continue beating it. Meanwhile the cobra would be making a comfortable nest in their house and inviting its friends over" - Source VA

church hurt
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
