A 38-year-old woman from Uruala, Ideato North LGA in Imo State, Juliet Igwe, has been arrested for brutally torturing her 5-year-old house help, Onyinyechi.
She allegedly: - Poured boiling water on the little girl’s hands, peeling off the skin from her fingers - Used an open candle flame to burn the child’s private parts (genitals) - Inflicted multiple burns and injuries on her body
The suspect, who has three children of her own, claimed the child stole food. She was paraded by the Imo State Police and later remanded in prison on charges of attempted murder and grievous harm.
This is child abuse at its worst. A 5-year-old should never be working as a domestic help.
Justice must be served — no excuses, no leniency.

ColdHunter: Doctors want to ensure they dominate every department in the health sector.
What I even want health practitioners to protest is that nonsense policy that only medical doctors can be MDs. What in the hell is that? Isn't the position of an MD a strictly administrative position? If a doctor can be MD or CMD, why can't a nurse or a pharmacist?
That is why today especially in FTHs, you find Doctors as head of units like Servicom and Social Welfare.
Those protesting will still want their children to be doctors
Let them focus the energy on their respective duties on patients
ppogba: The biggest mistake any president of Nigeria from outside the North can ever make is to try to please, satisfy and pacify them. That was Oga Jonathan's error.
I am no Tinubu fan but I can tell you with hindsight that one of the biggest problems the North is having with him is because he don throway face for them.
Customs Controller General still dey pain them till tomorrow. NPA, NIMASA and others still dey pain them till tomorrow.
Buhari started it
So if Tinubu should do same, let them not complain (the North)
Faith0: But let's be sincere, this baba no try during his time
You mean Jonathan?
You are right.
He depended so much on the North Tried pleasing them a lot
Yet, they didn’t vote him for a second term.
He would have the Northerners jealous of the south had he been more concerned developing the South. Even in his appointments. Now, Buhari did it. Nothing happened Tinubu is doing, and nothing will happen.
This justifies the saying, opportunity comes, but once. Unfortunately, It will take a very long time before another Ijaw man will become president of Nigeria
A disagreement has erupted between Idemili North and Onitsha North Local Government Areas of Anambra State following the decision by the Idemili North authorities to rename the popular Limca Road after former Commonwealth Secretary-General, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, a decision that has been vehemently been rejected by the Onitsha North Local Government which insists that the road lies within its territorial jurisdiction. The development has sparked debate among residents and stakeholders over the legality of the action and the authority responsible for naming public roads within the state.
The controversy began when the Chairman of Idemili North Local Government Area, Hon. Stanley Nkwoka, announced the renaming of Limca Road, a major route linking Nkpor Junction with the area around the Mausoleum of Nigeria’s first President, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, at St. Charles Borromeo Roundabout. The road, which also connects Awka Old Road, the Onitsha–Awka–Enugu Expressway and the Obosi–Umuoji axis, was officially renamed “Ichie Emeka Anyaoku Road” during a brief ceremony held at Nkpor Junction.
Speaking at the event, the council chairman said the decision was taken to honour Chief Anyaoku for his outstanding service to the community, the nation and the international community, noting that the renaming was also intended to inspire young people to embrace integrity, hard work and dedication. According to him, society must move away from celebrating individuals of questionable character and instead recognise those whose lives represent discipline, excellence and selfless service.
Also speaking, former Minister of Aviation, Chief Osita Chidoka, praised Anyaoku’s reputation for integrity, stating that his record as Commonwealth Secretary-General remains one of the most respected in Nigeria’s diplomatic history. Represented at the ceremony by Ambassador Chimezie Obi, President-General of Obosi Development Union Worldwide, the elder statesman expressed gratitude for the honour, describing it as one of the most cherished recognitions he has received and urging younger generations to see the gesture as a call to pursue service with honour and credibility.
However, the Onitsha North Local Government Area has strongly faulted the renaming, describing it as illegal, unconstitutional and a clear violation of territorial authority. In an official public notice signed by the Mayor of Onitsha North, Hon. Nweze Tony Nwora, the council maintained that the entire stretch of Limca Road, from the country home of Dr. Azikiwe through Borromeo Hospital up to Nkpor Junction, falls within the jurisdiction of Onitsha North and not Idemili North, insisting that only the legally recognised authority can rename any road within its area.
The council cited provisions of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, particularly the Fourth Schedule, which vests the administration and control of streets and public spaces in the Local Government within whose territory such facilities are located. It further declared that any action taken outside such jurisdiction is ultra vires and therefore null and void, warning ministries, agencies, map publishers, logistics operators and members of the public to disregard the newly announced name until due process is followed.
Onitsha North also stated that it reserves the right to take all lawful steps to defend its territorial authority, stressing that the publication serves as a formal caveat against any official recognition of the new name. The council emphasized that Limca Road, also known as Old Enugu–Onitsha Road, remains its lawful designation unless changed through the proper administrative and legislative procedures.
What is it with all these naming of roads etc after people’s names.
If they want to name, let them construct a new road and rename it

ebubeson: We have single Mums that can make good wives, and no matter what the society says, there are single Mums that can make good homes.
If you look deeply, a single Mum having a child may not be the main issue of many guys, but below may be the issue many guys avoid single Mums in marriage.
(1) Fear of she cheating with her baby daddy: Do you know how painful it may be loving and supporting a single Mum only to discover she is sleeping with her baby daddy who may be so irresponsible.
(2) Fear of not being a father to her child or children: If after a man marries a single Mum and treats her child or children so well like a true father, and gets dumped in the future because he is not their biological, such may be so painful to him.
(3) Fear of divided emotions: A single Mum may be emotionally connected to both her husband and baby daddy. This might make her husband feel unsafe in the marriage; and if he expressed his concern, there may be outburst that he is just being insecure.
As a lady, never accept to get pregnant before marriage, no matter the promises given. Just avoid pre-marital sex. Again, if baby Daddies had married their baby Mamas, this issue may have subsided.
The police officer asking him to drop the money is not tackling te root of the problem. Let him approach the DPO and let Instructions be given from above. This corporal he’s humiliating is following orders from his boss. Meanwhile, what will happen to the money he dropped on his car?
Let ALL Police commissioners condemn this act, and watch it stop
