awwfar: nobody is making any decision for u my friend...it's written all over your posts from the past,you're a bigot,you're filled with bitterness and hatred for other tribes You are number one Bigot. In Nigeria, we know people who are number one in religious extremism the same with tribalism. My friend do whatever you like with your life. i cannot stop you so don't stop me or call me names. Anybody accusing me of bigotry is the number bigot past and present. 2. You don't know the meaning of bigotry if you do probably you don't know when/where to use them. So if a white man marries white woman you tag it bigot/racism? Use your head well. |

Before quoting you read well, I have a cousin sister who is late, she was involved in a relationship the mother warned her she couldn't listen she got pregnant was doing abortion in the process with a quack doctor without the consent of her mother she died in the process when it was too late to save her, so people are responsible for their actions even God is against premature sex but you youths of nowadays think you can eat your cake and still have it back The bone of contention here isn't about her fornicating. It's about how they reacted and treated her after that. Jesus will forgive her if she went to him asking for forgiveness, we all will be outraged if we were her parents but it should never get to the stage of starving her, abusing her. If I tell you a story of a young lady that gave birth at age 18. Her parents and siblings were educated(not rich) they knew it was a mistake, reacted one way or the other but it never got to this point. The lady is now studying medicine in Abu Zaria. |

…she took ill and died, says dad
Residents of Agility community at Mile 12 area of Lagos State are presently filled with anger. This followed the death of an 18-year-old girl, Amaka Nweke.
Amaka was said to have been beaten to death by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mike Nweke, for not only dating a Yoruba guy, but also having a baby for him.
According to residents, the parents were not only enraged that Amaka was dating a Yoruba guy, but a Muslim to boot. The parents were alleged to have repeatedly subjected Amaka to torture, including starving her during pregnancy.
Her father, however, has stoically denied touching Amaka, let alone pummelling her to death.
“Is it possible for a parent to kill his own child?” he asked.
Mike may have to confront some many witnesses living in his community, who disclosed that he and his wife were brutal to the girl.
Amaka and her boyfriend, Ibrahim Lawal, were said to have met when she was in Senior Secondary School (SSS). The relationship later resulted into pregnancy, which her parents fumed and kicked against.
She was later delivered of a baby boy, christened Zaeed. Friends said that Amaka went through hell while pregnant for defying her parents.
One of the Nwekes’ neighbours, who gave her name as Adebola, said it was unfortunate that Amaka died in such circumstances.
She said; “Amaka went through a lot. She really suffered.
“When Amaka and Ibrahim were dating, her parents were always threatening her. They told her that they didn’t want her to continue associating with the boy. What broke the camel’s back was Amaka’s becoming pregnant for Ibrahim. Her parents were livid and starved her of food.
“Whenever her parents were beating her, some of us would approach and beg them to stop. They used to beat her with different objects even while she was pregnant. Whenever her boyfriend brought food to her, they would not allow her to have access to it.”
Adebola explained that when Amaka was delivered of her baby, her parents couldn’t afford the medical bill. They had to call on Ibrahim’s family. His family gladly paid up before the new mother was discharged from the hospital.”
People thought that the move would diffuse the tension between the two families, but the Nwekes allegedly returned to status quo.
Adebola added: “After she was released from the hospital, her parents tried to prevent the husband’s family from naming their grandchild. But it took the intervention of the Chairman of the Community Development Association (CDA) and some elders in the area before the Nwekes released the baby to them.”
Ibrahim’s mother, Mrs. Ebunola Lawal, said that she reported the repeated beatings of Amaka by her parents to the police.
She said: “When my son impregnated Amaka, I didn’t reject the pregnancy. I was already used to seeing them together. When it was clear to me that Ibrahim was the owner of the pregnancy, I started taking care of the girl as my daughter-in-law. I, however, noticed that whenever I go to give her foodstuff, her mother wouldn’t want her to collect it from me. I used to force her before she would collect it.
“When Amaka was in labour, her parents didn’t inform us. It was Ibrahim who saw her mother take her to hospital and alerted us. I couldn’t go to the hospital that fateful day, but the following day, Ibrahim went to the hospital to check on her and found she was delivered successfully.
“When it was time for mother and child to be discharged from the hospital, Amaka’s parents couldn’t afford the medical bill. They sent for us and we later paid the money. The parents took Amaka and the baby to their house, instead of the father’s house.”
Ebunola recalled that on the eight day of the birth of the child, they went to the Nwekes to name the baby, but were rebuffed.
She said: “We went to Amaka’s house as early as 6a.m. We begged them till noon before they finally released the baby to us with the assistance of some elders in the community.
“The parents also gave us two hours to return the baby. Two weeks after the naming ceremony, my husband and I went back to Amaka’s parents’ house to check on our grandchild, but Mrs. Nweke prevented us from seeing the baby and Amaka.
“When the pressure from her parents to stop seeing Ibrahim was becoming too much, Amaka told Ibrahim to stop coming. She said that they would be discussing on the phone. She told him that whenever he comes to visit her, her parents would pounce on her and beat her mercilessly. Mrs. Nweke didn’t like Amaka’s union with my son.
“The major issue that led to Amaka’ death started on January 1, 2020. This was after she came to our house to collect clothes for herself and the baby, to celebrate the Yuletide. A few minutes after she left our house, she called Ibrahim on the phone that her mother had started beating her for collecting the clothes and money from us. I was informed that her parents collected the baby from her and locked her in their apartment and beat her for two days.
“It was in the process of beating her that she became unconscious. The parents rushed her to hospital in the neighbourhood and they were referred to Gbagada General Hospital, where she was confirmed dead on Sunday. When Ibrahim went to check her at the hospital, she couldn’t stand up or sit. She just lied on the bed. The most annoying aspect of it was that when they were rushing Amaka to hospital, they gave our four-months-old grandson to a neighbour, instead of bringing him to us to mind.”
Ebunola said when she heard that Amaka’s parents had beaten her again she went to the police station at Mile 12 under bridge to lodge a complaint.
She said: “When we went to collect the baby from the woman they gave him to, she refused to release him to us. But out of pressure, she eventually released him. I’ll miss Amaka; she was an easy going girl. I accepted her as my son’s wife because of her attitude. It was her parents that killed her.”
Ibrahim’s brother, identified simply as Alfa, said it was unfortunate that Amaka died in such manner because her parents didn’t want her to marry a Yoruba man.
He said: “There was a day Amaka came to visit Ibrahim, and both of them later came to my house; as I was seeing them off, we saw Amaka’s mother. She was coming to look for her in Ibrahim’s house. Right there in my presence, the woman started hitting the girl and raining curses on her. She warned Ibrahim to leave her daughter alone. Amaka suffered a lot in the hands of her parents because of Ibrahim.”
Amaka’s friend, a nurse, identified as Omotola explained that when the beating was becoming unbearable for the deceased; she sought her assistance.
She said: “Amaka called me and asked that I should rescue her. She said that she didn’t want to die.
“When I didn’t see Amaka for some days, I became worried. I chatted with her up on Facebook, and she told me that she was sick due to the series of beatings she received from her parents. She told me that Ibrahim was bringing money to her to buy drugs. When I couldn’t bear it again, I went to see her. When I saw her, I noticed that her breathing was difficult and terrible. I didn’t like the way she was breathing. I went to a chemist to get her some pain relieving drugs, which I gave to her.
“Before I left, I noticed she was not improving. I quickly called her father on the phone and urged him to take her to hospital. I even suggested taking her to the hospital I work. I heard the following day that the parents didn’t heed my advice. They didn’t take her to hospital that day. They decided to take her to the hospital the following day. I don’t know why they decided to waste the life of that poor girl. Amaka was punished until she died.”
Our correspondent also located Ibrahim and tried to engage him on the issue of Amaka’s death, but he just wept like his heart was breaking. He didn’t say anything.
However, his father, Mr. Bashiru Lawal, said when Amaka was delivered of the baby, his family bought her packs of bottle water, drugs and stuffs for baby and mother.
He said: “But her parents rejected the items.”
But Amaka’s father, Mike, maintained his innocence and that of his wife.
He said: “Is it possible for a father to kill his only daughter, I don’t beat my children. My wife is a woman of virtue; she doesn’t beat our children, she is not a wicked woman. We didn’t beat her because we saw her going to Ibrahim’s house. Everything Ibrahim’s family said was false because now I’m in mourning. I came from a Christian family. I warned my wife to stop disturbing Amaka and Ibrahim. I told my wife that if God said the union was ordained from Him, they would live together as a husband and wife. I have never disturbed them.
“When Amaka took ill, we rushed her to two private hospitals before we were referred to Gbagada General Hospital where she died.”
When asked about Amaka’s baby, Mike said they left the baby with a neighbour in Lagos to take care of him, because he couldn’t take him to Ebonyi State.
He added: “I’m only going to Ebonyi State with Amaka’s mother and siblings.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bala Elkana, said the command was aware of the issue.
He said: “We are waiting for medical report to ascertain the cause of death. Investigation is still ongoing.” Tbis should be the first case for AMOTEKUN to handle. These parents are probably one of the touts in Nairaland shouting Yoruba Muslim up and down. They have carried their hatred go home to kill their own pikin.

Do you know what it means to take care of a girl who is pregnant, do you know the number of times she is expected to visit the hospital for antenatal care? She didn't get all these because money no dey, if una like stay away from sex, if you must pregnant a girl be ready to Carter for her pregnancy So, she starved because she didn't get enough care during pregnancy? Then, explain to me how she managed to give birth safely and how the baby survived up to and past its naming day? If she were starving, she wouldn't have gotten enough energy to survive her labor. Even in the North where there are a lot of poor women and girls impregnated out of wedlock, many of whom don't even know what antenatal means, they still give birth and have more children without starving to death. |

Certain, Moslem north of Nigeria manifests a horrible type of political Islam in Nigeria. North of Nigeria has been using govt instruments to expand Islam to all of Nigeria.
North of Nigeria adopted Islamic Sharia criminal justice system, threatens use of govt instruments to include Islamic Sharia criminal justice system into the constitution. Anger over all these is boiling. |
