Reminds me of dumebi..

Wow this is really sad. I am sure the mother had lots of things running in her head. This i not me trying to make excuses for her. This is why it is always advisable to hire a domestic assistant that can either take care of the child or even go to the market in her stead. this was totally unavoidable. Some people do not trust domestic helps with their household but trust me i have been there and my cousin and has been there but we all had different notion after we were hooked up with a Domestic staff placement agency in Abuja. these guys had already done all background check and they also trained their staff. In case people are worried about who to contact to hep recruit their domestic staff in Abuja, i think MaidbyPhoenix are the ones to contact. you can visit their website: www.houseofphoenixng./maidbyphoenix or call: 09097293933. I really wish we can always avoid avoidable situations. Everyone be safe out there.

Hmm. She remembered make up kits but forgot the child

What we read today would just sound implausible a decade ago. A woman forgetting he child? What else would she remember? Haba. The police acted right by detaining her. The carelessness is too much. The driver too might not be innocent after all. This is Nigeria.

Naija na waa oooo

Such a pity. The mother must have been so overwhelmed with so much she had to do that she forgot the little child.

She Has No Valve For The Child

Even the holy book said that a mother cannot forget her baby. I wonder how busy she was that the child was forgotten. The police should properly interrogate the driver and he should be released if nothing can be proved.

Meanwhile kudos to our law enforcement agencies, they are dong a good job.

endtime Nursing mother. SMH

Zombie 80% of those in APC now are the criminals and looters that dementia Buhari accepted into APC for fear of prosecution. Use you brain once in your life time it never a crime . Cow virus transmitted to all APC members amaze the world.

Are you angry? Good. I like that. Let the anger flow right through you. Do you know my law of conservation of emotion? ClearFlair’s law of conservation of emotion states that the anger and guilt you are feeling right now can never be lost but will be converted to sadness when we dump Atiku and Obi China in the dustbin this month. Now you have been educated.

This life... some women get distracted so easily that they can forget their womb.
