Are you ok...from fry pan to fire...

topsyking: FOoolish!!! FoOolish!!!
When did nigeria start to repatriate its citizen to USA...I don't get it..china will never do that....can america repatriate its citizen to nigeria if he fled nigeria to USA...am begining to av a second thought about my citizenship of nigeria..time will tell...soon....

obadiah777: IN NIGERIA SHE WILL BE LYNCHED AND BURNT ALIVE. ANYWAY SHE SHOULD HOLD TIGHT. AMERICA WILL SOON BE DESTROYED IN WW3 AND ALL THE JAILS WILL BE OPENED AND THE CELL-MATES RELEASED.

Tamita: She is not Nigerian...she is an American!

ochallo: well she may not be Nigerian, Tata is an indian name, except she married an indian

Siena: Personally, I think she deserved the 80-year sentence. What she did was not an accident, she was pretty damd stup|d. Gambling with the lives of people's children, people who trusted her enough to entrust their children to her care! I wouldn't even leave my children alone at home for two minutes, whilst I ran across the road to get a quart of milk. My children are my life.

For those saying she deserves leniency, it was a mistake on her part, it could happen to anyone etc. Think again. It happened to Tata, and resulted in a child fatality. Please put yourself in the position of the parents of the dead child, and think how you'd feel, how you'd react.

She deserves every year of her sentence, and more.

obadiah777: PERSONALLY I WOULD BEG TO DIFFER. HOW OLD WAS SHE WHEN THIS HAPPENED ? MAYBE 18 OR 19 ? YOU KNOW WHO I BLAME ? THE PARENTS. BECAUSE SHE IS A YOUNG GIRL AND CAME CHEAP ( SHE WAS PROBABLY CHARGING THEM ONLY $3 AN HOUR EACH ). WHY WOULD YOU ENTRUST YOUR CHILD TO SOMEONE WHO JUST BARELY LEFT THEIR TEENAGE YEARS ? OBVIOUSLY THE CHILD WAS NOT THAT VALUABLE TO YOU. THE CHEAP PRICE MATTERED MORE. IF A BABYSITTER IS LESS THAN 40 YEARS OLD I WOULD NOT LEAVE MY KID WITH. THE PARENTS ARE TO BLAME. THE YOUNG GIRL WAS JUST DOING WHAT YOUNG CARELESS TEENAGERS DO. UNFORTUNATELY FOR HER, HER OWN MISTAKE RESULTED IN A FATALITY. YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE DO WHAT SHE DID ON A DAILY BASIS AND GET AWAY WITH IT WITH NO FATALITY ? LEAVE YA KID IN THE HOUSE AND QUICKLY RUSH TO THE STORE TO GET SOMETHING ? MILLIONS DO IT WORLDWIDE EVERYDAY. 80 YEARS IS TOO HARSH. IF THAT WAS A WHITE GIRL SHE WOULD GET 3 YEARS PROBATION FOR INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER OR SOMETHING

Siena:

Lol...you blame the parents, because they chose to trust a certified nanny with their children. Incredible! Now let's say this same woman wasn't patronised, because at the age of 18, she was deemed "too young", you guys would be calling those that failed to patronise racist. Forget about the color of her skin - she was criminally negligent, and the sentence she got is more than justified. Playing the race card when things don't go your way is a game that's been over played. The sooner you learn to accept responsibility, without making excuses, the better off you'll be.

Note that a childminder can receive acredition at the age of 16, so I don't see where your arguement is heading. If she were not Nigerian, you'd be singing a different tune. Now she's Nigerian, you're defending her, and making a lame attempt to heap the blame on the parents who used her services! It doesn't matter if this woman was charging $3 per hour, or $25. You can't place a value on the lives of humans, be they adults or minors. That just doesn't wash. Your assumption that she was "probably charging $3 per hour" is irrelevant. If you cared for children even free of charge, you will still be held culpable if you leave them home alone, and they perish in a fire!

And for reference, I would not leave my kids home alone, not even for two minutes! If I have to dash across the road to pick something from the grocery stores, I will take my kids. They are my life, my responsibility, not an inconvenience.

obadiah777: DUNNO BOUT YOU BRAH BUT I AINT LEAVING MY KID WITH A TEENAGE BABYSITTER. I DONT CARE IF SHE HAS A PHD IN BABYSITTING.

Siena:

Thankfully, Tata's sentence was not based upon her age, but upon her criminal negligence. To be a registered business, one needs to think like an adult, and tried as one in a court of law if she breaks the laws of the land.. She couldn't be tried as a minor, because she wasn't one.

What an irony! people flee from Nigeria and escape to the US and are captured and deported back. But here the reverse is the case. Nawa o

obadiah777: YUP YOU RIGHT. AND I CAN SEE THE SIGNS ALREADY. I DONT THINK THAT COUNTRY HAS MORE THAN 2 YEARS AT MOST BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION. WE ARE AT THE END

dasparrow:

Yep! well said. Anyone who is conversant with the bible (God's word) knows that mystery Babylon (America) will be destroyed in 1 hour when the time comes. It says so in the book of Daniel.

Originalsly: She been doing this for a while....every rope has an end. Causing harm or death to little children is one of the worst crimes you can commit in the US...and Texas loves to dish out the death penalty especially to Blacks. I think she got 80 years cause she fled the country to avoid prosecution. She was born in the US therefore she is a US citizen first and the others are just add ons. Nigeria would send her back. If she were born in Nigeria but also had US citizenship....was living in Nigeria..committed a crime and fled to the US....the US would revoke her US citizenship and send her back to Nigeria.

sunnshyn: I really do not care where she's from..this is totally the height of "nonchalant-inefficiency"(pardon my use of words)! I mean, how she can put a pan on the stove and then go shopping knowing she's got a day care beats me! It really wasn't her first time...but definitely her last!

Now what happens to the dead child? What explanation would she give to the parents of the injured kids who trusted their wards to her?

Well deserved punishment IMO! I'm sure other silly mushroom daycares with rotten facilities will learn and shut down completely!!

jehovahnoni: Oyinbo and deir wickedness,,,dat 80 years is just a camouflage,,,dey will grant her clemency after about 20-30 years,,,but dey should keep appealing,,,,,I MEAN !!THE CRIME WAS NOT INTENTIONAL AFTERALL .

Gee001: Negligence. She was negligent. She had a duty of care 2 tkcr of those kids bt breached it. On d oda hand, she made d crime looked lyk it ws intentional cos she fled 2 Nigeria. Ordinarily wot she wud hv done ws 2 turn herself ova 2d police. She'd hv reported d case herself instead of fleeing, dat way, her sentence wud hv bin reduced. Running away 4rm ur problems wudnt help u bt facing ur problems wud.

salafiyy: BLOOD MONEY SHOULD BE COLLECTED FROM HER INSTEAD
