You might be very much correct. I do not why we africans are so backward in our thinking. We attribute every seemingly weird happenings to one mystic powers or the other. Looking at the picture now and i see no horns but massive bulging eyes

Segun Arinze must be the dad.

This is a classic case of Anencephaly. The brain failed to develop. The condition is, of course, not compatible with life.

Lol.....that is Anencephaly na.....a medical condition denoting a neonate born without brain matter. It is usually associated with other Congenital Anomalies like Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate as well as Meningeal Deformities like Spinal Meningocele.

What is This??
This Look like a Scene from a Horror Film!!

for those that can not waite for God to give the children,this is the give from babalawo,it is not the give from God.
For God is not God of confusion.

This is a condition called ANENCEPHALY. A neural tube defect which can be cause by exposure to some toxin substances like radiation or drugs by the mother

Why do we always act so daft in this part of the world..jeez, this is simply anacephaly, a congenital anomaly...now I agree not every1 is in the health line...buh that's what is called being versatile...that's why we went to school..not to see this kind of thing andbe calling end time....'jesus'....Oga sha....if this was in UK or the US am sure even a school drop out would simply google the net to find info...not start sayin baby with horns. We am a Nigerian so idey part of the system too. Soo 'end time thinzzzz'

dats a closed possibility.

Hmm more n more strange children are coming into the world. D babe is more like a chimp. Der is no horn biko

OlamideGirl:
Dats y zz better to go to the hospital to give birth......imagine d fear dse midwives would ve caused to d mother of the child.......E
dse case is just a birth disorder anencephaly and d baby az cleft lip too......an educated midwive or nurse should know dat cause it's bin taught in embryology.....now d mother lacks d knowledge and reason y she gv birth to such baby due to lack of folic acid.... instead she zz with d fear dat she gave birth to a baby with horn due to d witches in her family......EDUCATION IS INDEED PRICELESS......

A sensible comment I've seen so far on this topic.... But would you really blame the poor mother for her predicament?

Who is to blame for her lack of education, as well as those half-educated midwives?

We can all see what a "corruption-filled" poor governance starting from the federal level to the state & local government level had caused to these people involved from the poor family, to the entire ignorant populace reading this topic.....

Please we should all go out this morning and vote out this corrupt government while making way for a new hope of good governance in the next 4 years ahead.

Your vote is your power to decide your future...Please vote wisely!!!!

are u trying to tell us that the baby has been gyming right from belly! take a look at the arms. baby is macho, no horns

anonymousmum:
Anencephaly. Google it and thank me later

This is a monster. Lol.
Anencephaly ? Yes, i agree. But what explains the developed muscles around the deltoid area and most of the upper arm ?

wilsondave:
this is goblin not horn..... strange things happening in osun nawa o... I remember the film called Stargate Atlantic's....... those goblin and monsters in that film ehn!....

thanks these people are f**ls

This is plain IGNORANCE!!!...Our journalists are too lazy these days. That's ANENCEPHALY,a congenital anomaly as a result of none closure of the cranial portion of the neural tube at the very early stage of embryonic development.

You have succeded in making me laugh......



LOL

Nigerian newspapers and sensationalism. Horns ko, trumpet ni.

Like many enlightened NLders have said, its a form of neural tube defect. Ordinarily, the neural tube, which in the embryo develops into the brain and spinal cord, should close properly within the first weeks of gestation. If this does't happen, defects occur; and anencephly which presented in the unfortunate child in OP's post, is just one of them.

Mortality is extremely high - less than 1% survive more than a few hours after birth (ie if they are born alive)

They are not horns, that were the bulge of the eyes.

god help all of us oh which kind of world is dis

bushdoc9919:


And remember he gave us the gift of compassion, love and intelligence for times like these.

God sends bad things our way to challenge us to use the gifts he has given us.

A good follower of God is someone who reflects the qualities of God....love, compassion kindness among others....when it does not make sense.

You wouldn't be saying that if it were your wife who gave birth to such a baby.

All i see is a statue of a godz
