Ada Onyejike-Ananaba was arraigned at Court 9 Ikeja, on Monday over alleged abuse of her 10-year-old housemaid.

Ananaba, founder of the Girl Child Art Foundation (GCAF), was arrested last December following the rescue of the 10-year-old girl in her home at Omole, Ikeja by the officials of Office of the Public Defender (OPD) in the Lagos State Ministry of Justice. She was subsequently released by the police without being charged to court.

She had allegedly been abusing the girl for three years, since bringing her to Lagos from the eastern part of the country. See previous report here

Ananaba, a graduate of Fine and Applied Arts from the Institute of Management and Technology Enugu (IMT), Enugu, who also holds an M.Sc. in Management of Development, with specialisation in HIV and AIDS from Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Science Wageningen, Netherlands — once told an American audience that girl children were seen as people who were not important in the Nigerian families.

The Chicago Council on Global Affairs awarded the 2008 Patricia Blunt Koldyke Fellowship on Social Entrepreneurship to Ananaba, upon which she featured on Chicago Tonight presented by Phil Ponce on WTTW.

In the interview, Ananaba said she founded the foundation to build the confidence of girls in a society that discriminates against them.

She claimed to have used arts to empower and educate thousands of young women where sons are more highly valued than daughters and many girls drop of school at a young age.

Number one...Madam, child labour is ILLEGAL... SMH.

Number 2. I don't give a fvck about her achievements in her life but once she is proven guilty, she deserves to be flog... Imagine abusing a 10 ye old girl, haba madam, what the fvck is wrong with u?

See your life outside.

Do what I say don't do what I do

Hypocrisy everywhere. Some of these people just open all these advocacy groups as a means of getting money from donors especially foreign donors. I have experience working with one of them and I could see that she was even doing worse evil than the one she claimed to be fighting

I would say your village people are at work but you self no try, how can you take a ten year old has a maid?

On the avarage, women tend to abuse others( women) morethan men do.

Just check out all the homes with house maids or house helps.

Child labour and abuse is becoming an issue in our society today... God help all those who can't afford to train their kids due to financial issues and send them off to go and live with an aunt in the city...


As for the woman in question, its very obvious that your child right foundation was just to make you some quick cash and not what the name actually implies.




P.S: give birth to the number of kids you'll be able to cater for. Not giving birth because the bible said go into the world and multiply.

that's disappointing

The stench of hypocrisy . Some ladies who scream domestic violence, feminism molest abuse their young housemaids over little things. Those other ones that shout "divorce him if he cheats" had slept with their married lecturers and sugar daddies while in school .

Hipocrite

This woman, like most activists, is just in the cause to make a quick buck. They only hop on the bandwagon of the prevailing political and social narrative to hoodwink people of low intellect who consider them divine. Well, glad her day of reckoning is upon her.

it's time we start putting these people under the searchlight. Some even make a career out of it.

I never take all these female advocates seriously. They scream domestic violence, child abuse, e.t.c., but they are worse abusers.

Neither do I take feminists seriously.

Activism is a serious cash cow.

Anyone can become a superstar with the right amount of publicity on his Activistic endeavours.

Not surprised devil's also take advantage of this noble cause too

Hunter becoming the hunted!

Double punishment if guilty

For abuse and for hoodwinking the public.

many people are guilty of child abuse in one way or the orther

Child activitist ke.... Chai It feels good to Comment again Afta been banned for talking abt football nd wrestling on a thread.... I no go try am again cha

Foolish woman.. Wicked Soul.. Talk is cheap.. they are something else in the closet

Huh

She's nothing but an hypocrite, if the news is true. Whatever group her foundation is affiliated to abroad, should be informed quickly.

Dumb two faced biatch she is!

I hope she has not been using the small girl to practice lesbianism?

that's why I don't take most of this Nigerian human rights activists group especially the female activist groups serious.

Most are either devils who are looking for tricking ways to get money from the public esp foreign donors.

The ones that annoys me most are these frustrated prostitutes who claim to be fighting for women and thus increasing the rate of divorce in the society.

These women are people who cannot stay in a man's house because of their immoral attitudes thus they use domestic violence as excuse meanwhile they perpetrate the most dreaded domestic violence.
