Is society tolerant of such people despite their innocence?

It will never be alright, even after a hundred years, the matter will not be forgotten, even those who were not born will learn of it.
This is why I will advise everyone to live as rightly as possible, to save their family and unborn relative from eternal shame.
the consequences for your actions do not end with you, it affects family, friends and neighbours, this is the truth.

That's why they said train your child well so that he or she will give you peace of mind....A good name is better than Gold and silver

Bros I understand what you mean. Well, I thank God nobody in my lineage is that heartless

you know that ritual killing at the end of the day is still murder and no one can be responsible for the actions of another ,yes its the duty of parents and guardians to advice but it's left for the individual to choose his actions. How would you feel if you're arrested by the police and sentenced to life or given a death sentence because your brother whom you haven't seen for over 10 years was involved in a murder case ?

it is not really a big deal ,things have changed just moving to the neighbouring town or city is enough people don't really care anymore these days

When I was in junior secondary school, my friend's dad was caught at his place of work stealing big iron bars and rods as he was working at the welding department, the news went viral because he claimed to be a christian.
The following day, his son who happened to be my friend visited me and I followed him to their house and I stayed back very late. When I came back, my mom flogged me as if I was a thief for following a thief's son. She was like, since his father was a thief, he was likely to teach his son too. From crying, I started laughing but I still couldn't stop following the guy as we were game lovers

Ok, I get now. You guys were also a thief. Abi wetin game boy mean again sef?

Why would you categories fraud and nudity to crimes like kidnappings, murder or robberies? Crimes are in different league for sure.
Most relatives in Nigeria would always be proud of their sons or daughters who is into fraud of course.

Not like I am putting them in the same league, but say someone close to you has a leaked sextape. How would your mutual friends react to it?
Say how far, that guy wey just hail us pass now, him sister get sextape.
You get

Life is not just fair . ... Alot are there, coiled in a corner.

But then, we have to understand that we too much celebrate crimes in our society, especially those 'soft crimes'. Must parents think it is like mining gold from a magic box?

I swear, only the people who are in this situations would understand, coiled in a corner as you put it.

Las Las its all just luck cause you can never vouch for your relatives or friends.

Say now them catch my brother for armed robbery. To the people within my proximity, my secondary description becomes "the armed robbers brother"

God help us

Moneyboyz:
Years ago, a woman sent her son to buy something from a trader not far from their house, while the trader stood up to go bring the product the boy stole peak milk and hid it in his clothes but the woman caught him and gave him a dirty slap.

The boy went home crying to his mother, instead of her to caution the boy, she stood up and followed the boy back to the trader shop to fight.
Naso she carey that tin milk can and threw it at the woman, the woman fell, hit her head and died.

She was arrested and the rest of the family moved out of our community and abandoned their house till now. But till today people still point at that house as the house of the woman who killed iya lagbaja.
This happened over 15 years ago.

Exactly, these stains have a way of enduring through time. Na so the gist will be passed from generation to generation.

It's even crazier for the yorubas who do family background checks before marriage

blaquebelle:
If you ask me, relatives of those involved in ritual killings should be incarcerated as well. Maybe that way people can begin to caution their loved ones and monitor them for such acts. Especially those silly parents that encourage their kids into yahoo and rituals.

Just imagine the parents of that Jos yahoo killer were already trying to help him escape.

I get where you are coming from, but that measure is a little extreme. Lemme ask you, can you absolutely vouch for what your relatives have done ,are doing right now or will do in the future?
You never can know what's truly in the hearts of men
