Blame it on poverty..

I blame NEPA for this

This is so sad. ..and it was not d woman's fault..I blame poverty..plus no light

i blame the father....b4 having a baby, a lot of things should be put in place. im sure the lady didn't even go for antenatal. u have brought out a baby to start suffering from this tender age cause u don't have d funds to send d mom to even a village clinic. Shame on d man!

Really terrible

may the baby recover in peace.
May the family be consoled.
May standard of living improve with better sources of light, electricity and chargeable lamps.
May we be careful, safe and free from unfortunate preventable situations,
In Jesus name, amen

Failed country, if there was constant electricity, that lantern wouldn't have been there.

Sorry little one, you will get well without scars.

The first day he stepped into the world he met this mishap, I know he will be blaming the angel that directed him to Nigeria.

Mheen! Probably petrol diluted kerosene. Human wickedness! Wish the baby divine help and speedy recovery.

Poverty na bastard

Nah wah oooo..... People still dey use lantern....
POVERTY Die!

Omg�

Terrible I must say

You no get money you dey carry belle. Why are Nigerians so stupid like this. The baby will recover

This is so sad
Carelessness of a nursing mother,
Now if this baby grows up and see his face burnt like this , just imagining the low self-esteem
Thank God it's no death threatening incident
what I don't get is the 4 days old baby came out, was the baby spiritually walking

This idiots have likely given the child another disadvantage coupled with poverty.

Awwwwn... So sorry for the baby nd the mother

Sad... speedy recovery to the cutie

oh noooo , poor baby

Which kind wahala be this
That Baby is too tender to go through such pain
I know how e be for adult let alone a four day old baby

Menh very bad but The patents should have been more careful

Calabar no dey waste time to burn thief. Wetin this pikin thief naa? NEPA no try, they still reduce us to lanterns

IME1:
may the baby rest in peace.
May the family be consoled.
May standard of living improve with better sources of light, electricity and chargeable lamps.
May we be careful, safe and free from unfortunate preventable situations,
In Jesus name, amen
