Stephanie Linus Makes Movie "Dry" Available On YouTube In Memory Of Ochanya.

Stephanie Linus Makes DRY Available on YouTube in Memory of Ochanya

In 2018, the heartbreaking story of 13-year-old Ochanya Ogbanje shook the nation and laid bare an uncomfortable truth: countless young girls continue to suffer in silence, trapped in cycles of abuse, neglect, and systemic failure. Ochanya’s case was not an isolated tragedy, it became a painful symbol of the urgent call for #JusticeForOchanya, and a spotlight on the wider epidemic of child sexual abuse in Nigeria and across many African communities.

Speaking on her decision to release the film now, Stephanie Linus explains:

“The recent JusticeForOchanya conversations inspired this release. People constantly request DRY for advocacy and education, so putting it on YouTube felt like the right step. We are still seeing the same patterns of abuse and misinformation repeating themselves. Education helps families and communities recognise abuse early and take action. We must keep talking and shining light on these issues.”

At a time when child marriage, pedophilia, and child molestation cases continue to rise, often hidden under cultural excuses, economic desperation, or outright denial, making DRY accessible for free is more than a film release. It is a timely, necessary intervention.

Many families still lack accurate information about what constitutes abuse. Many communities still struggle to speak openly about sexual violence. And far too many children remain vulnerable because society continues to “look away.”

By releasing DRY on YouTube through NextPageTVChannel, Stephanie Linus is ensuring that educators, activists, parents, youth organisations, and everyday people have a powerful tool to spark conversations, challenge harmful norms, and push for better protection of children. This gesture matters now more than ever.

Why you need to watch - and make others watch-DRY:

It unmasks the realities of child marriage and the devastating impact on girls’ bodies, futures, and dignity. It exposes the quiet normalization of sexual abuse, exploitation, and manipulation of minors. It challenges the harmful silence that allows predators to thrive.

It empowers communities with the awareness needed to protect children early. It honours Ochanya and every child whose voice was silenced.This is not just a movie, it’s education, advocacy, and remembrance.

Sharing DRY is one way to ensure that Ochanya’s story doesn’t fade away, and that other girls do not suffer the same fate. Watch it. Share it. Talk about it. Use it.

For Ochanya. For every child.
