■ Omo when you begin mature you go realize say wetin do our parents don begin do us... E go better, e go better but things are not even the same..... They are worse and the hope of getting it right in Nigeria is almost a mirage. It can be painful you know.
But we move🤣🤣

Why and how people remain blind to this or are able to ignore it is beyond me.

lexy2014:
Nonesense story. Who threw this boy away when he was a baby?

They now want to use rape to cover up this matter. Wetin concern rape concern throwing a baby away after accusing him of being a witch?

Exactly. As soon as a woman has a baby, her protective mothering instincts usually kick in. Minor or not.

She took the boy to one pastor and they called the boy a witch and she ran with it.

She is the true witch and she doesn't deserve to be reunited with that boy.

Luckysbab:


The man allegedly took her in as ‘wife’. Or was she also ‘raped’ to have the two additional children at 22?

If it were reported to be a Northern man, the nature of comments here would have been different.

A child under the age of 18 cannot consent.

Christianity is a disease. It has rot the brains of many Africans such that ANYONE they do not understand is labeled a witch. Meanwhile, the Scandinavian woman that saved the boy's life is most probably an atheist as she comes from a civilized society who mostly don't believe in sky daddy.

Where is our Lagos activist iniebehe Effiong??

I just tire... If you clamour for genuine change they will use tribalism and religion to scatter everywhere, I wonder why can't they see the bigger picture? The country is literally dying daily you can almost hear Nigeria groan in severe pains of death.
😔😔😔

Guyman01:
A picture can say a thousand words, I can't see any emotional connection between the boy and his supposed mother, please don't send that boy to those wicked people before they tag him wizard this time.
Next thing his father will reappear and try to use his popularity to cash out and lie about how he was deceived by a fake Pastor which is rampant in Akwa Ibom and Cross River states to tag the innocent boy a witch

😂

The face of typical w1cked African..

Kobojunkie:
But this sort of thing ... the abandoning of children to their fates is a norm in the North.

it happens every where. In the North it happens through the almajiri system of schooling which the system works well b4 the advent of western education system but now its been abandon and the system now lack regulations. In the East , most parents also sends and then abandon their children to some masters to go and learn trade , the master mostly turn those children into slaves and send them out at will. Also female sometimes under age leaves their parents house either due to poverty or lack of proper upbringing and resort to prostitution in high cities like Abuja, Lagos, Italy and so on. In west , some parents don't mind their children becoming touts, agberos, streets/area boys, Yahoo boys, cultist or female living with gender that's not their spouse ( wajoko), which can leads to hook ups and so many negatives society menace like using them for rituals, human trafficking, organ trafficking etc. The issues of so called witches being lynch to death, Osu born been sent to the evil forest or sent out of town or stigmatized cannot be over emphasized. So every society has its own problem. But some people like to stigmatized the North as the only problematic place in Nigeria, you begin to hear comments like "e no go better for Lord lugard" etc.

1. You are not making any sense. What has the education system— western or otherwise—to do with parents having so many kids they are unable to cater for and then abandoning them?

2. That isn't rampant in the East unless you have the stats to show this.

3. Every society has its problems does not mean we should all sit back and condone what is blatant child abandonment culture, should we? The problem in the North is that it is considered a cultural norm, not to be blamed on the education system at all.

Patrioticman007:
Na dem and their barbaric cultural norm and religion. Imagine first Born inheriting his father's wives aka his mother due to one evil tradition. While also disinheriting his sister's and mothers on the premise that women don't inherit but can inherit child birth and domestic work.
We dey laugh oooooo

I don't think this still happens in present day Nigeria, maybe b4 but not now. I think Achebe talks about this in Things fall apart.

Almost made the mistake of marrying from akwa ibom. God forbid.

festacman:
Most Oyibo people are not too religious but they they are godly. Most Africans are too religious but not godly. When you are godly, you love but when you are too religious like the Pharisees, you lack love. Most African are Pharisee-like but most Oyibo people are Christ-like. That's the difference.

Aswear, thats the truth. and most idiots are here on the forum hating on them like their life depends on it. We just carry Christianity on our head like gala, and we actually do the most despicable things on earth. As a matter of fact, the so-called Christians among us Nigerians are the worst humans on earth.

fineberry:
Yet our mentality as black and hypocrite that we are will make us reason that anyone with tattoos all-over like this polish woman is a sinner nd a devil himself.



So who is now the devil.

You are very correct.

omooba969:


Are the whites not actually special people compared to wicked blacks?

Just look around you and see what we do to ourselves.

They care about humanity, more than we wicked blacks.

Most Nigerians are religious extremists.

It took a lady with tattoos (someone that would have been considered a demon by naija extremists) to show the boy true love and rescued him from those holy animals.


Y'll deserved whatever is happening to you in that sick Nation.

I was looking at that myself and wondering how come the people have not deemed that the daughter of satan by now. Yet see what she did compared to what the gods of men they worship did to this innocent child.

Kobojunkie:
What tribal stereotype? Can you prove that is type of rape is typical norm for those from the particular tribe? If yes, then speak up let's hear you.

I doubt we are on the same wavelength.

My point is that now we know it’s not only peculiar to the North. The condemnation should be all encompassing.

Luckysbab:
■ My point is that now we know it’s not only peculiar to the North. The condemnation should be all encompassing.

What in the world are you still talking about? This is condemned in the south but embraced in the North. That is the main issue and reason why the acts in the North are more widely condemned. It is not a crime in the North however it is a crime in the South. Child abandonment is also a crime in the South, but in the North, it is an accepted cultural norm.

Luckysbab:
■ I doubt we are on the same wavelength.

We couldn't be because your ability to reason that which is right in front of you seems severely impaired. This act is condemned as rape in the south, a crime punishable by many years in prison, including fines. In the North, however, it is not condemned nor is it considered a crime. You cannot see this means you can't sufficiently reason these things at all still.

Child abandonment is also a crime in the south, but in the north, it is an accepted cultural norm.

And this is 2023 going on to 2024!

Indeed. So has the chief been punished, 7 years after?

There are more underaged marriages in local southern communities than anyone will like to admit. But continue playing the ostrich.

Luckysbab:

Go there and ask. However, evidence litters the Crime section on Nairaland of how many others who committed similar crimes in the South have in fact been punished to date. How many of those punished for that are northerners is what you ought to be asking.

Where are they make we see and know them. And please be specific with location or even address details. No silly dribbling please!

Kobojunkie:

This is the worldwide statistics:

‘’Globally 39,000 girls under the age of 18 years are married daily and 14.2 million girls annually [1]. More than 700 million women alive worldwide were married before age 18 [2]. The highest prevalence of girl-child marriage is in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa [2]. Early marriage violates the human rights of the girl-child, increases her risk of maternal morbidity and mortality, and robs her of educational and developmental opportunities [3,4,5].’’

The chief wasn’t punished or reprimanded obviously. That’s the point.

It’s one thing to make laws, another to see it through. This is from Human Rights Watch:


‘’ Nigeria’s rates of child marriage are some of the highest on the African continent. Although the federal Child Rights Act (CRA, 2003) prohibits marriage below age 18, the Nigerian constitution contains provisions which appear to conflict with this position. States with Islamic legal systems have also failed to adopt both the federal law and 18 as the age of majority for marriage. Some southern states which have adopted this position have failed to take adequate steps to carry it out.’’

Seeing the pictures from the day when the Danish lady found him breaks my heart again and again and again.

What poverty can not do does not exist.

Kobojunkie:
Not at near the same rate you lot do in your Africa considering there are currently millions of homeless children in Nigeria today and adoption remains all but a taboo to this present day.

Well, I never argued about who has it more. My point was that it happens everywhere.
