FGM is child abuse and not child sexual abuse. You don't seem to know the difference.
Hopefully you'd refrain from both.

triplechoice:
And you failed to answer directly if doctors who examine their patient's privates, just like the woman, are also involved in sexual molestation.
Was this woman examining her consenting patient's private part?

I would think you'd go to a doctor as a patient to have your private parts examined because you have an ailment and not because some woman wants to check for you.

triplechoice:
And it cannot be true that a female child of 6 who's already used to her mother.....
Jesus Christ! Are you going to check at 7 too, and all the way up till when she's 16 because she's used to it?

triplechoice:
Please in your next reply which I expect, don't forget I said I'm not I support of the mother's action.
Why are you not in support of it if it is not an abuse of the child's, specifically, sexual bits, along with her general psychology?

triplechoice:
She acted ignorantly. That's all .If she were sexually abusing her daughter,she wouldn't come to social media to describe it
Indeed she acted ignorantly and did not know she was sexually and physically and psychologically abusing her daughter, but I do wonder why you'd expect me to be ignorant like her instead of telling her how ignorant she is and what damage she would be doing to her daughter.

If I want you to appreciate new born babies and not bury them at birth in 7AD, I'd tell you you and the baby will go to hell in order to deter you.

I'm aware it wouldn't work in 2024AD though, and would think you were being absurd if you still thought there was even a hell for you to go to.

Bro, don't get me wrong, I can never condone the ineptitude and corruption prevailing in our current system. What I don't agree with is the thinking that by shouting it to the whole world, there will be solution. Nobody has provided an empirical evidence to show anywhere in the world where insulting and calling your Country names have solved such problems.
The solutions are in our hands, we need to hold our leaders accountable, we need to stop selling our votes to the highest bidders, let's make bad governance have consequences. It's in our hands, and not out there.
No one is shouting anything at any world, and I am not insulting or calling my country names! There are people who call their country a zoo, and I remind them they must be the caged animals.

The solutions to the problems in our country can only be found once we accept we have problems, and not by hiding our problems from ourselves because we are ashamed some world might hear us.

Yeah. We all learn. I have given valuable advises to so many Europeans and non of them felt little or less from listening to me. I'm a proud and confident African.
My point here is that hitherto, I was like you, shouting the ills of my country up and down. We had a discussion and she showed me the serious corruption in their system and asked if these are headliners. Every country has problems but when you advertise yours rather than dealing with it, you make a mess of yourself as Davido did to himself.
If you know the British society at all, you'd know what the purpose of select committees are in government, and how they help the British society reflect and grow, unlike some who'd rather hide their inadequacies and not change their ways.

You can not deal with problems in society or in your own life that you hide and are not willing to talk about!

That's what's been argued, that ranching is better and more profitable and requires a lot more knowledge than grazing does.

triplechoice:
Sexual abuse is when one intentionally tampers with the sensitive body parts of another without their permission in order to drive sexual pleasure from it ,if not, doctors who examine the privates of their patients are also sexually abusing them.
Really? No one derives pleasure from female genital mutilation neither, likely not even the doctor, nor is permission of the mutilated sort, so would you also classify that as not sexual abuse?

I guess you can define sexual abuse however you want to when you are sexually abusing others, but I'd strongly advise you consider your daughter's feelings and her eventual reaction when you subject her to this sort of humiliation.

I wonder what they've been waiting for. Bet they never supported the Livestock Transformation Development Plan that many derogatively called Ruga though that would have forced cattle rearing on to a ranch and out of the hands of the cattle rearing Fulanis.

She reminds me.

Devouring Mother

The “devouring mother” is a psychological archetype that describes a mother who is overbearing, controlling, and manipulative towards her children. This pattern of behavior can have a profound impact on a child’s emotional and psychological development, often leading to feelings of guilt, shame, and low self-esteem.

Characteristics of the Devouring Mother
Over-nurturing and smothering: The devouring mother is excessively attentive and caring, but in a way that stifles her child’s independence and autonomy.

Control and manipulation: She uses guilt, anger, or self-pity to control her child’s behavior and decisions, often making them feel responsible for her own emotional well-being.

Emotional dependence: The child may feel obligated to care for their mother’s emotional needs, rather than developing their own sense of self and identity.

Lack of boundaries: The devouring mother may disregard her child’s boundaries, invading their personal space and privacy.

Fear of abandonment: Her children may feel anxious about leaving her or becoming independent, fearing that she will not survive or be happy without them.

Examples and Illustrations
Literary examples: In Tennessee Williams’ plays, such as “A Streetcar Named Desire,” the character of Blanche DuBois exemplifies the devouring mother, using her charm and manipulation to control those around her.

Folklore and mythology: The devouring mother archetype appears in various mythologies, such as the Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone, where Demeter’s grief and desperation to reclaim her daughter lead her to withhold the earth’s fertility.

Real-life scenarios: The devouring mother can manifest in everyday life, such as a mother who refuses to let her adult child move out or make their own decisions, or a mother who becomes overly dependent on her child for emotional support.

Therapeutic Insights
Co-dependency: The devouring mother’s behavior can create a co-dependent dynamic, where both parties become enmeshed and unable to function independently.

Guilt and shame: Children of devouring mothers may struggle with feelings of guilt and shame, believing they are responsible for their mother’s happiness or well-being.

Therapy and self-reflection: Recognizing and addressing the devouring mother pattern can be a crucial step in healing and personal growth for both the mother and child.

Key Takeaways
The devouring mother archetype is a complex psychological pattern that can have far-reaching consequences for children’s emotional and psychological development.

Recognizing the characteristics of the devouring mother can help individuals identify and address this pattern in their own lives or relationships.

Therapy and self-reflection can be essential in breaking free from the devouring mother dynamic and fostering healthier, more balanced relationships.

You can't buy or sell in naira because it's not allowed, but u are making it sound like it's bàd for Nigeria to implement such terms here.
No one disallows the buying and selling of Naira in UK. The reason you can't find it to buy is because no one is interested. Even Nigerians travelling home would rather bring their pounds home and convert it, because its less bulky and you get more favourable rates.

Nigeria should not implement silly unimplimentable policies.

Omoh,see as mothers were dragging their daughters to come out but none of the wereys came out cuz they knew what they had down there were express roads and they'd be disgraced if they had dared come out grin
So, you think they should have come out to be subjected to sexual abuse because of scholarship, and in your own opinion, the reason they didn't come out was because of "express road"?

Please don't bother having children! Sounds like you'd want them to sell their souls to the devil.

How Can I Write To Big Brands For Sponsorship?
You first write and do a project titled, how to get brands like Aquafina, Malta Guinness for sponsorship, and when you complete doing that project you then use what you've learnt to get brands like Aquafina, Malta Guinness to sponsor you.

Think God. He had a project to create, so first did the research by letting his face hover over the waters, such that when he presented his project of 'Let there be Light', there was light, and that part of the project was complete. There were six stages in total, note.

93 million Nigerians were registered to vote at the last election and only 9 million elected our president. 20 million in total voted while the rest sat on their lazy asses at home, and now are crying hungry and impeach.
