This news needs to be confirmed. The picture attached is a picture of an innocent girl who was arrested with a kidnapper in Ibadan and it's not even related to the story OP posted

Does that Child look like a girl to you?

Synonym for HELL for a maid = a yamlegger's household.

Gforce2015:
Igbo people and wickedness towards housemaid......


Igbo people....wickedness is internally-laden and innate

Not surprise at all...ppl frm dat region....let me economize my word

BigBashiru:


Black AFRICA is cruel and barbaric

well.. if you put it like this i have no choice but to agree.

but at least, i've passed my msg and U English lecturer understand.

Possiblegee:
can good English come out of your life?

I found it hard to believe that little boy was their son as I read earlier on a blog.

Tie them to a pole upside down, put a soldering iron into their yansh and turn it on.

The federal government is not ready to deal with this issue of abuse of house maids in Nigeria, they should declare an age limit for someone you are allowed to hire as a maid not to be less than 15 years or more. Anybody found hiring underaged kids for labour, should be jailed.

O wrong NW cause of ₦100
Well I don't blame them I blame poverty

The parents that sent such a smally boy to go be a house boy are more to blame.

AmazingELixir:



[s]At the police station, the accused housewife, Benita, blamed the act on the devil, saying she regretted it.


Poor devil don suffer for Nigerians hands...who will rescue the devil, the accusations are so much.[/s]

Hmm, I feel so sorry for you.

is there no jail term for this kind of wickedness ? Why is this evil act common with house wives from the East ?

Cursed and wicked people called flat.heads

BeautyB99:


This is so sad and wicked, honestly speaking I feel heartbroken whenever I hear such news I just wonder why someone will go to the extent of maltreating another person child without having pity or sympathy and that's not all I have come to the notice that is the women that are fond of doing this cruel attitude, for goodness sake if you can't take care of someone's else child or treat the child as your own then give it back to the parents than maltreating an innocent soul the worst part of it all is that this happens to be my local government and my town to be precise, I just pray the couples don't go unpunished they should deal with them mercilessly so they can know how painful it is to hurt someone and government should please take such matter serious and take proper action on it infact if possible pass it as a law to teach such people a lesson

you used "it" for human being

Na to first seize all dem cash and other belongings to give the boy and him family.


If you no fit take care of yourself and your partner man to woman, woman to man, as in, if between una two, una no fit manage unaselvez, then pikin no be for you. You are actually a nusiance to yourself and your community.

IGBO people are sooo cruel and barbaric,

what da hell is a house boy anyway? how can a house have a boy? isn't it bizzare?

it's a slave term. During the slave trade, slavers bought and divided their slaves into houseboys & fieldboys. Those dt work inside & those on the field. True story. It's all over slave literature.

Another popular term from the slave trade era is 'masters bedroom'. All words coined by the whites. It's a shame we never stopped the practise of slavery. Having live-in househelps need to be illegal.

mbaitolu, mbano, mbaise and owerri is the problem of imo state. take this 4 away and see us doing well. they constitute real evil in my state

Please sentence them life imprisonment

May God have mercy and never allow our children to be in the care of wicked and heartless people. Amen

I thought Ipopigs are billionaires chai so dey no get levels sha less humans

Mr Man am from mbaitolu and I don't agree with you at all, everywhere has both good and bad people. Even if they take away these 4 local government you mentioned it won't stop the evil going on because human beings on a norms are wicked and is in their nature

Every time I see something like this, my heart is shattered into shreds. The only crime this little boy committed is being born in Nigeria. Our leaders did this. If this boys parents have the basic things of life, this boy wouldn't have been a houseboy at this tender age. Even if his parents were to be dead, it's the govt responsibility to take care of him. Oh my heart weep for Nigeria.

sogodihno:
This thing is too common in Igbo land, why now?

Have you ever witnessed a scene where an Igbo boss is beating his apprentice? You will weep for him.

I will forward the matter

Ukpaka tree has born Ojokoro fruit for the couple. Does Nigeria even have laws that take care of these kind of domestic treatment?

thank you for your brilliant explainations.

It's hyporcritical how some Africans complain about white people slaving them and racist towards them but yet carry on slaving children as "House boys or girls" the term alone sounds derogatory, this kinda practise is why child kidnapping and traficking for labour goes on in some 3rd world nations. it is definitely illegal.

wicked

Igbo are wicked!!!
