It is 98 years ago that Mary Slessor, the Scottish missionary to Nigeria, died. She was reputed to have led crusades that stopped some societies from killing twin babies at birth. Such births were taboo and not tolerated. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/cover/bizarre-40-fct-communities-that-kill-twins/ http://channelkoos.com/index.php/news/4241-bizarre-40-fct-towns-still-kill-twins 1 Like |

There's nothing ignorance can't destroy. It is a curable disease, but not when it reaches an epidemic stage. But come off it, how remote are those areas? In this jet age, I doubt such things still exist. 2 Likes |

youngies: So sad, but I just sat in my chair and wondered what I would really do if I saw something like that happening in front of me. I wonder if I would be brave enough to be the lone voice of reason in the face of so many unreasonable barbarians, or if I would fear for my life. This needs to stop. I pray every sane Nigerian that witnesses such episodes as these, ALUU beating e.t.c would have the courage to stand up to such people and end it, or at least be quick to call the police to disperse the barbarians with their big guns. The souls of the victims are surely in Gods hands. 1 Like |

OMG! I only read the first instance and how Mary Slessor stopped killing of twins (I didn't witness it). This underscores the effects of ignorance in a modern age. But wait, some towns in Abuja? May God Almighty see us through. |

Christians with their fairy tales again. Condeming our people without proof in order to impose their foreign gods on us. Na lie. We black people have never killed and sacrificed our babies. Infact it was the jewish god that practiced child torture and sacrifice. Not us. People, please stop believing these baseless propaganda against Africans. |

Alfamann: Christians with their fairy tales again. Condeming our people without proof in order to impose their foreign gods on us. Are you sure you took the right medicine this morning, Africans don't kill their children yet Mary Slessor stop the killing of twins in some part of Nigeria, Is Nigeria not part of Africa, u really need to start reading books and be informed. 5 Likes |

Eneze1: Mary Slessor stopped killing of twins and Mungo Park discovered River Niger. Yes, we've all heard it all before. You really to heed Fela's advice and stop following oyibo book and use your own sense. White people came to Africa with lies. Destroyed what we had, condemned our way of life. Told numerous lies about us. Sold us as animals. Turned us against each other. What proof do you have that what you heard about Miss Slessor was true? 2 Likes |
