Hmmmn.


She has a phone in her hands.

Hmmmmmmnn!

Dyt:



Mama oooo

Mindfulness:
So a man can throw his wife out and deprive her of her children just like this? And he can do it even though the woman passed the worst thing that can happen to a mother, which is to lose a child?

What nonsense, lawless country is it?
Where are the authorities?


GOSH!

ifyalways:
Hmmmn.

She looks quite neat for someone sleeping out on the streets.
She has a phone in her hands.
Where are her parents, siblings, friends? None of them could accommodate her or even offer her balcony for her to squat?

Sorry, I ain't buying this story. Yoruba's are very accommodating people. They accommodate strangers, can even let you sleep/squat on their balcony so long as you go find your daily bread in the mornings and return in the evening. Go check TBS, isale eko etc.

cococandy:

It could be true. She might have owned the phone before being sent out.
And the story does say she has a canal where she bathes and does laundry.

ifyalways:


She must be extremely neat to look that clean for someone bathing in a canal and sleeping on the streets.

I live in Nigeria and understand the streets. It's gonna be near impossible for a woman, her age( ability to work, feed herself) , not disabled in any way, no clinging baby NOT to get family, friend or stranger to accommodate her.

Isolate this case, show me where you have read/heard/ seen such a story especially in the western part of Nigeria. Keywords:
Can fend for self
Is not pregnant
Have no baby
Is not sick
Things might be tough for her,I agree but to say this woman is sleeping out on the streets, that's a lie!!!!

Silvofitz:

Well, I just wonder what such lie would pay anyone. For a young woman to allow her pictures on a forum like this, it must be a serious matter. For those who care to help, this woman as we speak, is in a restaurant at Gate, Ibadan selling pure water. She works, so alms is not her concern. Feeding is not even her problem. Her major concerns are access to her son, accommodation and a platform to work as a stylist. She uses all the money she makes to feed herself. The picture below, the children church of Gospel faith Mission, which is not under lock and key is where she passes her night most of the time. According to her she checks in there around 10 to 11pm, and leaves the premises to the canal around 5am to take her bathe before anybody gets there. Everything she said was verified before posting on Nairaland. At the church there were church members cleaning the environment, when we went there to take pictures. I only raised alarm because of the risk of sleeping in unsecured premises, and the emotional stress of being separated from her only son. And these are weighty.

cococandy:

That's why nairaland men hate 'the west'.
Because you can't get away with such rubbish here hence the west is the devil's abode where the men are being emasculated for not being allowed to have authority over their wives as they would a lowly slave.

Kimoni:
Slivovitz - You are close to her and the environment she is in. Pls put heads together with her and itemize what she desires, how she hopes to achieve them and where exactly she needs people to come in. She cannot think of keeping the baby right now because she has neither a job nor home to take him to.

Pls be ready to substiante your claims when asked to do so.

ifyalways:


Dunno why you have to quote me and not folks that actually believed your story.

Now, you are being a bit honest, me likey. I'm not fooled by stories nor allow sentiments overshadow my sense of what's obtainable on ground, Nay.

Ok, we've established that she does not sleep on the streets, that's good.

No point garnishing your story with half truths and lies. Anyways, over to NLD. I've made my point which is : Nigerians offline are not mean people; we look out for our neighbors and there's no way this woman would be sleeping on the streets, assuming any part of this story is true.

Silvofitz:

I wish the interview video could be uploaded. However, Her areas of needs are:
1. Unhindered access to her son, without any form of molestation or intimidation. She's emotionally down because of lack of access to her son.
2. Accommodation: sleeping in unsecured places could endanger her life.
3. Getting a place to work as a stylist. She presently sells pure water somewhere. So feeding per se, is not her problem.
Note: to substantiate claims: she has a phone number where she could be reached. And asides that, she could be produced at Yemetu Police Station, the nearest Police Station to her environment, or Gate Police Station, Ibadan, which is closer to the restaurant where she sells pure water, for interview under caution. As long as the help is genuine, one could meet her one-on-one. And she's ready to take anyone to the husband house.

InformedLola:


On access to her son, the best way you can help is contact welfare to intervene in the matter. You can also call DSVRT on 112 or 08137960048; they provide help for domestic violence victims. And this is a case of domestic violence in a way.

on accommodation, I think it will be easier if you tell people how they can help monetarily by getting the price of a very modest one room apartment than just asking that we help her with accommodation.

Please advise her also to find a salon where she can work. There are many salons around that need helpers, manyyyyy. And some are even open to people sleeping in there.

Thanks for helping another human in distress.

I live in Nigeria and understand the streets. It's gonna be near impossible for a woman, her age( ability to work, feed herself) , not disabled in any way, no clinging baby NOT to get family, friend or stranger to accommodate her.

Isolate this case, show me where you have read/heard/ seen such a story especially in the western part of Nigeria. Keywords:
Can fend for self
Is not pregnant
Have no baby
Is not sick

Mindfulness:


Instead of hating, they should put more energy into developing their own countries.

Let me stop here. It's a beautiful day!

Kimoni:
@ Tearoses is the Yeye Oba of Ibadan - she might be able to offer some advice or help.

Like Gboliwe said, can't she get a small stool to start making people's hair?
That would depend on what are skills are though. They are not all gifted equally.
