Stinking Hypocrisy by Nobody: 6:31am On Jul 27, 2013 |
The Maid beaten to death with neighbours who heard and ignored her cries till she was murdered kept me up all night. Some of the excuses here was people don't know how to contact NAPTIP. Yet we have phones, can google search all the useless topics but when it comes to taking positive actions we can't simply google search ways to help others. I just don't get it, we can't do the most minimal thing to make the lives of others more bearable but we are the most religious. We won't use google to search for help for battered kids and women but we can search for just everything else I googled most searched topics in Nigeria and this is what I found: Boko Haram, Davido, Mercy Johnson top Google’s 2012 most searched topics in Nigeria in Entertainment, News What did Nigerians search for on the web in 2012? According to Google’s annual Zeitgeist list, Davido, Victor Moses, Rashidi Yekini, Whitney Houston were some of the most searched people of 2012. Actress Mercy Johnson also ends the year on high notes. Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Boko Haram, ASUU strike, Vanguard News were some of the most searched terms of 2012. Trending Sports Teams Chelsea Arsenal Barcelona Real Madrid Liverpool Manchester United Reading AC Milan Manchester City Everton Most Searched How to… How to love How to romance How to rap How to toast How to crochet How to dress How to assage How to blog How to freestyle How to concentrate Meanwhile a simple google search will give you the following results for NAPTIP HEAD OFFICE No 2028 Dalaba Street, Wuse Zone 5, F.C.T Abuja Nigeria.

CC, NAPTIP advertises, infact they have a TV drama series running, except the person doesn't live in Nigeria or doesn't watch local channels. Nigerians are mentally lazy, not deep, we like surface and can't go deep. If the Agencies spend all their money on adverts remembering that they are not profit making what will be left to work? Fund court cases so those arrested won't get away? Let's do our bit too. The recent misinterpretation of section 29 got me deeply sad, Nigerians have not even read their own constitution, Nigerians don't even know what a public hearing is and they don't have time to attend one its even the villagers who organize themselves and attend more than we the so called educated ones, no one need to tell them, if there is an issue these villagers collect signatures and write to their reps us the educated ones don't even know our senators, councilors and representatives at state at national level. Leeave that one, what about road safety that has their emergency numbers everywhere, writen on all their cars, how many actually take time while waiting in taffic to copy road safety number? We want to be spoon fed, being a citizen comes with responsibilities, let's stop the excuses know our duties and do them abeg 2 Likes |

Government doesn't take out advert on birthdays individuals do. Government agencies are under a budget, if they spend all their money on adverts when the cases come what money is left to handle the cases? If we take time to deeply study these things then well meaning individuals who want to support a cause can say okay we will handle the publicity aspect of this. Abroad is it not individuals and NGOs that do most of the enlightenment? How do these NGOs get support for causes through support of normal people 5pounds 10 pounds a month but here we will prefer to buy the next bentley and dash pastor than identify and support any cause |
Re: Stinking Hypocrisy by damiso(f): 8:44am On Jul 27, 2013 |
chaircover: To be honest I dont know of many of these Govt agencies and I only come across them when they are mentioned on threads. Up until yesterday I'd never heard of Naptip.CC is right.Here you know who to call if a child is being abused, the NSPCC spends loads on adverts . Their adverts air almost every day on both terrestrial and cable channels. That case is sad but you know what debrief some people dont even see some things as abuse (sickening I know).Also govt agencies on Nigeria are generally not too popular with the masses.You and I are well read and confident enough to ask for accountability from these people but do you really think that woman selling roasted corn at Badia will report something to Naptip? We need education for alot of people but even more so for the lower classes.Run ads that everyone can relate to to be able to spot abuse.Put readily available nos that people can call anonymously.If I call 999 I can get info on how to report abuse.All that long info might put people off. That said, we need to stand up more to people we know that do such amongst us.If your friend starts slapping and punching her 14 yr old househelp for burning soup,tell her off, dont keep quiet. I had to shout at a woman in Bariga who was punching her own child for using 5 naira to buy biscuit (I was making my hair with her).I had been braiding for like 5 hours and the poor girl and had no snack in between.This was a 5 yr old child.Yeah she should have asked but punching ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Nigerians have all the time to find out : 1. Who is cheating on who 2. Whose marriage has failed or is failing 3. Who has the biggest car 4. Who did what 5. Make Facebook, twitter and BB "friends" of strangers we don't know and may never need Yet we don't have time to do the most essential 1. Read our constitution 2. Research Government Agencies 3. Get and keep emergency numbers 4. Read up on first aid 5. Go and check their own health (it is well). 6. Read up about current trends, learn. 6. Read up on a topic before broadcasting or commenting 7. Pass informed knowledge. 1 Like |
Re: Stinking Hypocrisy by Alwaystrue(f): 9:51am On Jul 27, 2013 |
@OP, thanks for the info. The hypocrisy you spoke about is indeed rife. See the backlash as a result of the child marriage bill. Unfortunately, many of us so have abused these same children we are forming holy holy on. The same way a child being taken into marriage is the same way we have children taken into forced labour. How right is it to take the services of a small child as a 'house girl'. These small girls who have no voice endure the worst forms of child abuse as seen in the story of the woman who killed her maid. How different are these children from our own children? Are they less human? Is it because they are just less fortunate? Can we do to our children what we do to these 'maids'. Anyone who takes in an underaged child as a 'maid' should just be prepared to have the maid as a foster or adopted child (more like older child) and be treated as they would their own children. I have had cause to talk to a lady who was expecting a maid and the way she was already talking about it made me wonder what we actually take love to mean. I told her to ensure she treats the girl as her own daughter because franckly we will all give account o and in that day everyone will be on the same 'level'. 2 Likes |

debrief08: Nigerians have all the time to find out :Debrief you have very valid points.But you are talking about the social media generation which are mostly educated.Sadly you are quite right that they should know better and dont act like they should. The other point we are trying to make is this information needs to be more populist in nature not necessarily something you have to dig to find.By all means castigate those who have access to information and misuse it. But what of those who dont? ?The corn seller who lives in face me I facw you? ?The pepper seller a Mile 2, do you really think these people care if Dbanj just bought bentley? But there is abuse going on in these circles too. We need a Mass reorientation and this should include ALL strata of society. |
Re: Stinking Hypocrisy by Nobody: 10:01am On Jul 27, 2013 |
Damiso, If we educate ourselves won't we educate the corn sellers? Besides those ones are even more organized, they are the ones who get to attend town hall meetings when we go for project monitoring, they are the ones who question us on why we say a health facility is working when it is not. They are the ones who tell us who is demanding for and receiving bribes in the community, they are the ones who keep their reps on edge, I am talking of places like Ibadan, Kano, Lagos, Jigawa, the poor people there don't joke with their rights at all. Its the educated ones who don't have time, too much distractions. These people tell me more about work than I know myself. |
Re: Stinking Hypocrisy by Nobody: 10:11am On Jul 27, 2013 |
They will get the Numbers and call to report "The Bore hole they dug for us here only worked for 1 week and stopped oh". "The drugs they said are free the people here are asking us to pay oh" "The road they said they repaired na only half them do oh" Yet we the educated ones won't even get road safety numbers to call instead we will take accident puctures and be broadcasting "till road safety gets it" |
Re: Stinking Hypocrisy by Nobody: 10:13am On Jul 27, 2013 |
damiso:Yes they do advertise on radio stations and they even have this radio drama program. There are naptip ad boards around the country though the message is mostly on child trafficking. what I notice is that most Nigerians don't even read boards or signs unless its for shows and all.

Re: Stinking Hypocrisy by bellong: 10:52am On Jul 27, 2013 |
The summary is not hypocrisy, it is selfishness. An average Nigerian is selfish and care less about the welfare of his/her fellow. It is even so bad in religious circles where you hear some selfish and ridiculous prayers. All for personal gains. There is total lack of love in people. Nobody cares about anybody except it has to do with bad news. People will rather come to your aid to take honor for helping you out of trouble than helping you prevent such horror and trouble. The help may not even stem out of sincere love. Why do we have problems in the country that seems unsolvable despite endless prayers of people? The truth is we are the problems of ourselves, the government accounts for a minor percentage. It is in the same country you will see civil servants expecting you to grease their palms before doing what he is paid to do. Same country you will find custom and law enforcement agents allowing dangerous substances, weapons and materials to pass security check after monetary power exchange hands. Your description is what we get when people strive for what do not matter but place emphasis on ephemeral things. As individuals and collectively as a country, there is need for a value re-orientation. We need to understand and place values on life and what matters. Until then, your concern will remain the same. 6 Likes |

We Nigerians just have this NIMBY(Not in my backyard) syndrome. we are just a very selfish people. The subsidy protest was a perfect example of our selfishness. Some people had already started complaining about how much money they were losing just on the third day. The average Nigerian guy/girl is concerned about their next runs, maga, having the next it bag,instagram tins,popping champagne, being on a reality show,rapping/singing, going on an exotic vacay etc. I mean the average Nigerian doesnt even read to begin with not to talk of knowing their country's constitution. I very much agree that it begins with the individual. Be your brother's keeper. Thanks Debrief. you are amazing. |
Re: Stinking Hypocrisy by EfemenaXY: 6:44pm On Jul 27, 2013 |
I think the best way to create awareness is for to target advertising media to those at the grassroot levels. This is where pastors and other religious heads, worth their salt should make concentrated efforts during every service to drum this message to their congregation. They should not take anything for granted and start by explaining to people what child abuse really is and how it's conveniently veiled as taking a house girl / boy from the village with the promise to train them up in the town / city. They should also encourage and implore people to be extra vigilant and not ignore any form of abuse but should report or call the relevant numbers, plus a guarantee that this would be handled anonymously if they so desire. The government also needs to take active participation in this via education. For example, teachers in schools should look out for the tell tale signs of child abuse on any child such as withdrawl symptoms of a previously outspoken and outgoing child, scars, bruises or wounds inflicted on them, coming in to school shabbily dressed, hungry and upset, etc. They should also encourage the children themselves to speak up. Teachers in schools over here look out for signs like these and trust me, they won't blink an eyelid before getting social services involved. Same thing for doctors, nurses, chemists and any other health care personnel. They should be given authority to report any suspected case of child abuse (e.g fractured bones and so on) to the relevant bodies. These relevant bodies should also have enough funding to carry out their duties to save these young lives in danger. It is complicated but at the end of the day, the society as a whole needs to take responsibility, and not just neighbours reporting to the police with the risk of they themselves getting arrested. 2 Likes |
Re: Stinking Hypocrisy by uche13: 9:16pm On Jul 27, 2013 |
Its really so sad and we all need to change our orientation. I was sadly awakened to this truth about a month ago. A neighbour's 10 year old son ran out of the house by 9am because the mum wanted to beat him. I later learnt that she beats him just too much and 2 days before, she beat him to the extent that he was bleeding. As he was running, she said "if you step out of that gate, don't ever come back". This child sadly believed. In summary, I was out till past midnight because I had to join the search for those looking for him. With the mum crying hysterically and calling death to take her away. It was terrible. This boy was found the next day. Limping and with nothing in his stomach for 24 hours. This was a sunday morning. I took him to my house, made breakfast and hot tea and later asked him questions. He said he trekked from morning till night just moving around. At night he found himself in mushin, saw the branch of his church, entererd and slept. I asked him if anybody interrogated him in the church and he said they only asked him where he is coming from and allowed him to sleep. I was livid! How can? How couldn't an elder person there make enquires before letting a 10 year old sleep in church. Even if it is to call the pastor of the boy's branch who was aware of the situation cos they had to go search his church. I couldn't go to church that day but told myself that taking care of him is practical christianity. We should practicalize what we are taught in the bible and show concern for others not included in our fold |
