Igbo families, please, please and please, watch your daughters carefully, go to their school unannounced, visit their hostels. Yes they'll protest, but it is for their own good.

As long as you are feeding her, and she lives under your roof, she remains your responsibility 100%. There is nothing like liberalism here. Our custom, culture and value systems are very clear on marital issue, it is not to be bent over for those who can't bend their for us. The guy was a muslim for Pete's sake! Even muslim parents won't tolerate christian guys stare at their daughters for 2 secs. They kill or disown daughters everyday for dating christians. But this case where christian parents are the aggresors is a 'one off'.

If I were Mr Nweke, I would have left that community or sent Amaka back home to a boarding school in the East.

Just see the way a stubborn girl has brought shame and sorrow to her family because of her stupidity.

I also blame the yoruba muslim Ibrahim guy for Amaka's death, if that girl was my sister, I'll also hunt him down (if the love is not deep enough for him to kill himself and join amaka) and ensure he joins Amaka in the grave. He was warned severally but the agbaya kept coming around to look for trouble. He should have stayed the fuccck away!

Rekhina:
My brother am so hurt , I was doing fine in my sector and almajiris/afonjas pushed me out from it out of stupidity,now am a hustler in a strange Arab country , expect things weird from me steady ,killing them during sex isn't left out(killed 3 though) , they must pay , all must pay

Now apologize for calling me an illiterate almajiri in d other thread..am waiting

tungamaje:


That's because the mother thought she has got a free daughter-in-law because her son impregnated an innocent 18 year old girl. If she wanted her as her daughter-in-law in the right way, she should have first approached the parents to take them to the girl's village and collected the list of items to pay. That's how Igbos do and it should serve as a lesson to non Igbos: If you like an Igbo girl and want her, go and settle her people. Don't expect to pass through the back door

Osagyefo98:




Anyway amaka mother should move in swiftly and take over the catering for the child before Ibrahim further harms the innocent child.


Ibrahim has no business with the baby again.

dominique:


Are you ok at all? The same Amaka's mother that beat her own daughter to death should keep custody of the child she left behind? It doesn't matter if the child is subjected through worse suffering than his mother as long as he's not given to his own biological father. I don't think you're ok at all. The way you people trivialize cruelty is making me understand why most of your men turn their wives into punching bags and your women maltreat underage helps. Seems physical abuse is a norm to you. This is upsetting to say the least

Osagyefo98:


Under right, Amaka's mother should take over the care of the child till further notice and when proved Ibrahim meant well for the young boy.

Moreover, it hasn't been ascertained that the parents beat amaka to death, it is still a mere rumour.

But let it be known that at this point, Ibrahim should hands off from the child.

dominique:


So neighbours and Amaka's friend decided to gang up and lie against her parents right? What do they stand to gain?

Ibrahim has more rights to the baby than the deceased's parents. In the eye of the law, if one parent dies, the other surviving parent takes custody of the child unless he's ruled incapable. I'm not talking about primitive customs and tradition here. If Ibrahim sues Amaka's parents for custody of his son, he'll win unless Amaka's parents can prove he's physically or mentally incapable of taking care of the child. Why should a grandparent assume full custody of a child when one parent is alive and healthy?

For the sake of the boy, they should just do the rites. It's their belief that a child born by their daughter belongs to them until she's paid for (like a piece of object). An evil family that can beat their daughter to death will do worse to the son she left behind. For the sake of the boys future, they should just do the appropriate rites and collect the child.

dominique:


You people really see females as commodities to be traded. This is totally wrong. I can't imagine how I'd feel if people are negotiating and deliberating how much my head is to be sold like a piece of item in the market. There no honour in selling a human being, just a bunch of greedy elders enriching themselves

Spoken like a true Yoruba girl despite all your false charades at objectivity

What you just typed now, line for line is something I've heard Yoruba girls say a lot when they wish to rationalize their tribalism

The bride price isn't for selling the daughter, it's top atleast prove your capable of taking care of her

danvon:


Another one

CeterisXVII:

Are you minding that clown? See him justifying the murderous actions of the girl's parents, and saying it should "be a lesson to all," as if killing the girl would have solved the problem?

If they didn't like what she did, why not just chase her out and disown her? Why take her life?

Meanwhile, I have seen many girls from his area shacking up with their unmarried boyfriends in Lagos.

He is such a primitive soul, that he believes killing a girl is the best way to preserve their tradition. Tueh!

Osagyefo98:
Are you for real?

We have customary court to handle such issues I guess?

Ibrahim is not in anyway married to Amaka and we don't have out of wedlock courts in Nigeria.

Ibrahim has no single legitimate claim over the child.

topboss1:
Ibrahim and his mother have been ascertained as the murderers by law.

Nobody else but Ibarahim and his mother killed Amaka.

CeterisXVII:

At your age, you are telling huge lies that even a little kid would be ashamed to say out loud.

Amaka's parents beat her to death. They inflicted sheer cruelty on her. May rot in jail and burn in hell, for their crimes!

topboss1:
The difference here is Ibrahim was not a parent.

The baby has been under the care and custody of Amaka parents.

Ibrahim and his family have no claim. Ibrahim mother bringing plate of rice for Amaka, is not child support.

Let this be a lesson to those that will go through back door to defile the marriage institution.

Reply: And those Amaka's Igbo parents, who chose to murder a poor girl because they didn't want her to "defile the marriage institution," will be thrown in jail and sentenced to life imprisonment.

topboss1:
Ibrahim andf his mother poisoned Amaka with their plate of rice.

Amaka parents warned her to stop collecting food but she did not listen.

After killing their daughter, the only thing they have to replace that is the son she left behind.

Ibrahim and his family killed Amaka.

See the way they are talking as if the parents are jubilating, as if they don't regret it, as if their heart hasn't broken already, the parents know they did something wrong

Prison won't punish enough, the parents should be allowed to raise the child as penance

As for those so called lovers out there destroying families, causing rift between the parents and children... it is well with you

CeterisXVII:

Raise the child? After killing their daughter, who is the mother of that same child? Are you sure they will not kill the child, too?

Adegunle4:
I don’t understand this guy’s sense of reasoning.
Simple....I’ve gone thru all of his comments and can’t pick out an atom of sense in all he has said so far.

danvon:
Well they won't, infact they are even less likely to do it, knowing their daughter died for the child they'll give the child everything

Most people are not stupid enough for proper heartlessness

CeterisXVII:

Re-ea-ally?? Are you in their minds? The same parents that travelled and could not take the baby with them? Instead they abandoned the baby with a neighbour.

What if that child falls ill, while he is in the custody of the neighbour?

What if the child is poorly treated by the neighbours?

Forget that girl's family, o! They are wicked!

danvon:
They left the baby with the neighbor so they could go and treat their daughter

CeterisXVII:

The girl is dead. Which treatment do they want to give the daughter, again?
