[center]LAND OF THE WEIRD PEOPLE: NIGERIA OFCOURSE[/center]

A breastfeeding mother in the poorest village slam town of Ogudu,Lagos wants her husband punished for forcing her to breastfeed his five puppies.

The 27-year-old Jennifer Amaka of Agidi village, Lagos sub-county said she had been married to Nathan Folasayo for over eight years.

“I produced four children but one of them died last year,” she said. “Now I have a three-month-old baby but my husband has been forcing me to share the breast milk with his five puppies,” she said.

Good Samaritans who have been helping her said the child had begun barking like puppies.

Amaka, who reported two cases of child neglect and assault, said the Police were frustrating her. Asked what punishment she wanted Falasayo to face, Amaka said: “He has humiliated me for long. I want him imprisoned for life.” Activists in addition want Falasayo to be charged with mistreatment.

Amaka is now getting support from ActionAid in Ogudu and the Pentecostal Revival Ministries. The little mud-and-wattle hut, which the church offered her, is a hive of activity as hordes of villagers throng the place to see “the woman who breastfed dogs”.

Narrating her frustration with the Police, she said the Police arrested Falasayo but released him after two days after giving out a bribe of 200 Naira. Apparently angered by the reporting, Falasayo beat Amaka to near death, she said.

“He then forced me to breastfeed his puppies,” Amaka explained. “He told me I had to breastfeed his dogs since he had paid two cows as dowry to my parents.”

Amaka said her husband brings home squirrels which he sometimes roasts in the bush. “That is why he wants his dogs healthy for hunting,” she said.

Rose Ibironke, the ActionAid coordinator, said: “If we didn’t intervene, Amaka would be dead.” She said the baby had begun barking like a dog when the mother sought refuge at the offices of Women Won’t Wait, a charitable organisation which counsels women traumatised by domestic violence in Pallisa.

“Her breasts were swollen and had wounds inflicted by bites by the puppies,” she said.

Rose said ActionAid would ensure that Amaka’s “killer” husband was punished. “We shall support her to get legal redress though the Police have let us down,” she said.

Neighbours confirmed that Falasayo had made his wife breastfeed his puppies. They said His pack of hunting dogs had become “a hazard to the village”, which is why the villagers killed them.

“He bought five puppies to replace the dead pack and wanted them to grow fast using breast milk,” said Festo Majanchi, ActionAid programme officer for Pallisa.

Falasayo, a seasoned hunter, had no kind words for his wife. “If I had not paid my two cows in bride price my dogs would have milk to take,” He told journalists and ActionAid officials at his home on Saturday.

The furious Falasayo chased the group away, threatening to deal with them if they dared step in his compound again.

Reacting to accusations of frustrating Amaka, the district Police commander, Amos Gumisiriza, said Falasayo was released on "bond" as the Resident State Attorney prepared the file for the court process.

He expected Falasayo to face charges of child neglect, assault and “any others advised by the State Attorney”.

Gumisiriza, however, suspected the woman to be mentally ill. But Wilson Otai, the head of the Pentecostal Revival Ministries church, described this as “rubbish”.

“This woman got mental stress due to what she was undergoing,” he argued. “We have been with her for three weeks and she wasn’t like this when she came here.”

The Ogudu child and family protection officer, Florence Amijong, said Falalsayohad hidden the puppies and it was hard to investigate the case.

Commenting on the medical dangers both mother and child may be facing, Dr. Alex Opio, the assistant commissioner of national disease control, ruled out rabies.

“By the time a dog shows signs of rabies, it is mad and it just bites instead of suckling,” he said. He suggested that the baby be taken to a health unit to find out the cause of the barking.

Dr. Vincent Karuhanga of Friends Polyclinic Lagos said the barking could have been caused by associating with the puppies.

“That is why children are most likely to speak the language of housemaids,” he said. “A child does not make noise just because it shared milk with dogs,” he said.

He said the mother needed counselling and to keep the child away from the puppies.

The decision to rebrand the image of Nigeria under the slogan "Good People Good Nation" was recently made public by the country's minister of information Professor Dora Akunyili.

The aim is to make Nigeria and Nigerians look better in the eyes of the rest of the world.

That was the most laughable and ridiculous thing Nigeria can even pull off

However, many believe slogans and colour combinations will have little effect on the image of a country with a government known for stealing common wealth, securing electoral victories through foul means and killing perceived opposition.

Since the arrival of the internet Nigeria has become even more famous for its army of online scammers, known as 419 fraud, offering quick riches in exchange for the banking details of those it target.

The 419 scam originated in the early 1980s as the oil-based Nigerian economy declined.

It was begun by unemployed university students who scammed business visitors interested in shady deals in the Nigerian oil sector.

The number "419" refers to the article of the Nigerian Criminal Code that deals with obtaining property by false pretences.

However, it has since widened and has been copied across Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe as the spectre of identity theft has grown.

Critics of the rebrand argue that Nigeria must address key challenges like poverty, ignorance and disease to improve its image and that any rebranding exercise that does not address these challenges misses the point.

The Information Minister claims the rebrand will not be wasteful arguing that it will succeed this time because the project will be "home-grown" with the support of the Nigerian people.

This must be another scam, or is it?

@ntertainment
I think you are more of a level thinking Nigerian than understands the value of pride of your country.
By first accepting that you have some problems is good enough though you should also include when posting examples of the daily landmark changes you see i.e politically,socially and economilcally.
Big up

The Facts on Kibera and Mungiki

Kenya being a great country as such as always stated has been home to Kenyans and alot of our neighbours scouring for a better future in this land of oppotunities.
To them Kenya is what U.S is to Nigerians. You should also note that due to the stability in our country compared to our neighbours who have been involved in civil wars i.e Somalia(Ouster if Siad Barre),Uganda(LRA rebels),Sudan(SPLA and Ganja Weed),Ethiopia(Oromo Liberation Movement),DR. Congo(Ouster of Mobutu sseko), Nigeria(During Abachas dictatorial rule),Central African Republic(CAR Rebels),Rwanda(1994 Genocide) etc. All this countries people fortunate enough have escaped to Kenya to Africas beacon Kenya and set camp in kenya due to its relative assuarance of calm. We also have the biggest UN(united nations) headquarters in Africa and its affiliate UNHRC offices(united nations human refugees center) based in Nairobi. Due to its proximity to Kibera settlement which is settled by the sudanese cousins the Nubians the refugees refused to be repatriated to Kakuma refuge camp in North Eastern province Kenya and settled in Kibera where they set up slums and shanties. There are a total 1 million refugees either counted or unaccounted for.

The Mungiki are a youth group who have a political party(Kenya youth alliance) which was involved in a recent demands of representation in parliament but was not enable to participate in the elections due to being a minority in its region. This made them demonstrate in the streets but were contained.
I hope this answers all your curiosity on this Great Land of opportunities KENYA

The other day, A Ghanain friend and I were taking stock of the changes Nigeria has undergone for the last three decades or so. Is it true they have a "wider democratic space" as argued by some, but are slowly heading down the self-destruct path, or are ‘wasting’ their once prosperous and beautiful country and might end up with just an empty shell.

Once this is done, it will be almost impossible to get back what they once had.

For starters, all the environmental degradation going on is enough reason to worry. Due to the depleted forest cover, now reduced to 1.7 per cent of the country, rainfall and drought patterns have become erratic. Rivers are drying up and their last beacon of hope is under serious threat.

While countries in the East Africa make every effort to conserve any green vegetation they have, They are busy destroying theirs, and soon they might be staring at a desert, with the resultant repercussions. Again, look at all the congestion and unplanned structures in urban areas. Look at the volumes of pollution they push into rivers, lakes and seas.

Other than the environment, I cannot regurgitate what we already know regarding their public institutions. The police force has, once again, claimed its unrivaled position as the most unfriendly institution. When those charged with protecting people’s lives and property turn into aggressors, it is no wonder that they have so much anger and lawlessness.

Corruption king pins are ruling the country. There is everything wrong with their country.

They have since discovered that education is not the problem. Nigerians are some of the most educated and informed people in the world. But due to their desire to get rich quick without working hard for something, they take shortcuts irrespective of the many people we hurt in the process. It is only in Naija where you could be a pauper today and a millionaire tomorrow.

Sudden Miracles

The beauty is that you do not owe anybody an explanation as to how you acquired this sudden wealth. Talk of miracles.

But as the rich get richer, the masses continue to suffer for the crime of not having enough. It is an obscene imbalance. They lack self-discipline and want everything in excess. They have slid so far back that even US President Barack Obama — ther ‘adopted son’ — has become careless with their affections. He is now embarrassed to be associated with the dreams of his father’s continent. For you do not have or share any sincere dreams.

We could dismiss the United States’ self-appointed Big Brother role, but in the end we shall be the losers. We are heavily dependent on the West for trade. Now Ghana is slowly elbowing them aside to find favour with the super power.

Following the strengthening of diplomatic relations between the two countries, our neighbour stands to benefit in health, education and agriculture. Heck, it is likely to even usurp our ‘birthright’ role of helping resolve conflicts in the region.

Matters are not helped by Ghanas President good looks and infectious smile. Who can resist his charm?

They cannot lie to themselves: image is everything. They need to redeem their image and reclaim the country before it is too late. Nigerians need a solid law that will create self-discipline in every aspect of our lives, including respect for the environment.

M

Nigeria's POLICE ARE LARGELY held in disrepute, implicated in horrific abuses, and oriented towards the protection of a state and a regime that are no longer legitimate. The rule of law, observance of human rights, and democratic processes mean absolutely nothing to them.

Democratic governance requires democratic policing. And, for policing to be legitimate, it must help create an environment free from fear and conducive to the realisation of a people’s human rights.

Notwithstanding that, successive post-independent Kenyan governments have failed in their primary duty to provide the public with honest, efficient, and effective policing that ensures the rule of law.

Taking into consideration that democracy and development of any society can only thrive where public safety and security are guaranteed, it has become imperative to engage the police institution in reform programmes and initiatives that would help improve their service delivery and accountability to the public.

And yet you are still poor!
It is unfortunate that you still dont get it.Let me be frank
Nigeria is like the bibilical 3 servants who were given money to invest by thier master. After a period the Master came back and demanded his money back, The first servant(Kenya) despite all odds had managed to triple the money he had earned to do business and feed his family, and the Master was happy and let him have it all. The second servant(Ghana) despite everything had doubled it by doing business and feed his family, and similarly the master was proud and let him have it all. But the third servant(Nigeria) dug a hole and buried the money to await the masters return and left his family starve. On noticing this his master was so furious he threw and caste him out of his household. The moral of the story,

Despite Nigeria being well endowed with God(Master), you as their servants elected leaders who dug a hole in their pockets instead of doing business and feeding your people.Despite your oil and other resources you havent done much where by the country is riddled with crime,poverty,corruption, tribalism, racism, secterianism etc. Of the ones i have written tell me which isnt true. unlike,

Ghana being smaller than Nigeria without much of resources is better off than Nigeria and has managed to build a strong Economy nevertheless and recently held a democratic elections that was upheld by the united nations,

Kenya on the other Hand, Well!!!!, It has used its beauty,culture and diversity to build the strongest economy in East and central Africa. Our currency the shilling is the strongest in the East african countries,

I hope you now get it

@londoner

At last! Its good that you are now thinking outside the box, for once that is.
I am now fully enlightened on your paranoia

@londoner and others
[center]Ten Most Common lies nigerians believe to escape reality[/center]

ALL NIGERIAN SHOUL READ THIS!


OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, NIGERIANS seem to have developed an almost pathological ability to lie to themselves. Today, everywhere you turn, somebody is buck-passing. Nobody wants to take responsibility any more. Psychologists probably explain it best as a desperate mechanism to cope with the harsh realities of life, but this doesn’t make it less bizarre and surreal. Doubt me? Consider these 10 common lies.

One, that the government has to help us with our personal problems. How many times have you seen on TV a Hawkers whose stalls has been demolished, or somebody who, somehow, has sired 16 children saying, “I am begging for goverment intervention…”?

Fact is, there is no animal known as government that has bottomless pockets to solve people’s individual problems. Government is there to formulate policy and construct basic infrastructure with tax money. Anyone who wants to benefit from your tax money is a parasite.

THE SECOND LIE IS THAT Nigeria IS a rich country whose wealth is looted by its leaders. Ha ha ha! Nigeria is actually extremely poor. With nearly 130 million people, according to the CIA’s factbook, the country has a Gross National Product of just $131 billion. Contrast that to Singapore, with a population of about 4.7 million and a GDP of $155 billion. Nigerians should be thinking of baking a bigger cake, not how to share crumbs!

The third lie? That Nigerians are decent, hardworking people, but their leaders are bad. Go tell it to the birds. People get the leaders they deserve. And on that hard-working bit, it is only true for a very small part of the population, mostly women.

If you go to the rural areas, you will find most shopping centres clogged with .drunk men as early as 9 am. Without women, this country would be as poor as Sierra Leone! Lie number four is that a new Constitution will solve all your problems. Fat chance. We have laws against murder and arson, but did that stop the atrocities of early 2008 and the mayhem wreaked by Emancipation of the Niger Delta Militia?

Fact is, a Constitution is as good as its implementation, otherwise it is just a piece of paper with ink stains. Countries like Britain don’t even have a written one. You need to rediscover your moral direction more than you need a Constitution. Lie number five is that foreigners, especially diplomats like US Ambassadors love us very much.

Let’s be blunt here. Diplomats are sent there by their governments to represent their own interests. They don’t love Nigeria any more than they love Bhutan or Haiti. This to them is just a work-station. Nobody loves Nigeria as Kenyans do, or should. This is your home, and only you can change it for the better. Start working on it.

The sixth lie is that Nigerians are a Godly, peace-loving people. OK, maybe we go to churches and mosques, but that doesn’t make you more God-fearing than the Russians or the Chinese. Which God-loving people wake up one day and start soiling each other with machetes?

The seventh lie? That to jumpstart Nigeria you need free education, free healthcare…. Let’s all get this clear: There’s nothing like a free lunch. When you are a poor country with no infrastructure and you spend the little you have on NGO-driven freebies, you’ll remain just that — poor. Free things should only be for disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, such as the old and disabled.

Lie number eight — that it is poverty that leads to crime and acts of stupidity — has become popular of late. People burn while looting a fuel truck, or steal from the corpses of road accident victims and all you hear is the “poverty” excuse.

NOW, IF POVERTY WAS THE ROOT OF all evil, how come there are some really good people like national football players from places like Lagos slums? Lie number nine? That a Nigerian ‘Obama’ will swoop down to save this country and lead us to everlasting prosperity.

The messianic narrative may make you sleep better, but it won’t happen. Look at China, the greatest economic miracle on earth. It has taken the sacrifice of an entire generation to pull millions out of poverty. One ‘Obama’ cannot do the job alone. Lie number ten. That your ethnic community is more hardworking, more honest than the others. If that were so, how come you — as a person and as a community — are still as poor as you are?

Recently i visited Nigeria and i looked everywhere for basic utilities that were all missing such as airtime. In my view, the decline was largely due to Disastrous sham in the name as elections — which made it difficult for the companies to sell airtime during the few months when Nigerians were destroying their motherland.

For those who were not around at the time, it was easier for one to get an machete wound in the head or a bullet in the belly than to lay hands on a scratch card. And those who did, usually spent much of the airtime to send hate messages and spread all manner of rumours.

Thankfully, the peculiar situation did not last too long and citizens either ran out of the fighting spirit or decided to tolerate each other again after their respective leaders forged the Peace and formed the a "Government" months later.
Well, after "peace" was restored, scratch cards became available again, but due to drought in the months that followed, many a subscriber often had to make the hard choice between buying airtime or food, whose cost was rising by the day to fund the growing appetite of the government their leaders had crafted at machete-point

@mariory
Hope you meant that as a joke!Hehehehe
Anyway Nigeria is a fantastic country but because of a long dictatorial rule passed on from its past "leaders" it is seen much more as a faillin state.
Anyway guys it still doesnt change the facts that beauty is from within its people(Nigerian) not without.
Finally when the majority of its people are suffering, individuals benefit thus defeating the long held notion that the nation belongs to its people not to certain individuals owning the country while others suffer.

@londoner
It is with much regret that your understanding of English seems to be sparse.
I would like you to please abstain from distorting my statements which tends to potray me as a xenophobic person.
Your questions seem deranged from the real issues and either intentionally or purposley you seem to ignore the statements as is, was is in its originality.
Last but not least i want to acquent you with the other meaning of Education in its capacity either informally or formally learnt. Its not neccessarilly through a regular schooling system that you can be educated. So please invest in a dictionary vis a vis .
With my regards
thanx

Let sleeping dogs,
Finally as the banner suggests Re: Pictures Of The Week (Ugly Side Of Lagos) sure is ugly.
For whoever posted this thread really did justice to himself and his people. For you rectify the past to correct for the future.
Anway Nigerians are becoming an enlightened people thus disregarding the thoughts of thos who imply i am an "Enemy" for desiring to see a fellow Brother succeed

Hey London! Oooops! I meant LONDONER
The only evasive language here is that you sound hard to be clarified.
I seem to be torn between replying and implying on what exactly you want reasoned out.
Since i am an "african" i thought it best to educate Nigerians in order to eradicate this xenophobic fear you seem to be exihibing about fellow "africans" though you are in London. Hmmn. By the way, choosing Kenyan star as my username merely doesnt suggest that i am kenyan.
Please do refrain from repeating questions which end up confusing your initial interest at first.
Thanking you in advanvce.

To be frank with you and other Nigerians i think your social fabric is weaker to be fair. Aven't yu heard the phrase you are the sole architecture of your past, present and future. Some, not all of you mostly make out to be arrogant as ignorant as they come. Its better if all this negativity was directed to the ills in your social,political and economic decaying rulers. Nigerians have this stale sense of aura that seems to be working negativley on their nationalism. I think you now get what i mean.
Sorry for words that seem insulting.
With the best intentions
Feel free NOT to answer this
Thanking you in advance

@londoner
Trying to sound educated? I hope you meant something else other than schooling.
My intentions on joining this forum was, is, and still without any malice as such suggested by your implications!
About your identity? I understand your bitterness about being a "Londoner" by birth and being "Nigerian" in spirit. Denial is but a reality.
Unlike your over defensivness about joining and Reasons of soughting this site are best kept and left to me. I presume you get the drift.
Hope you are smart enough to read between the lines.
Thanking you in advance

@honerca
To be frank with you and other Nigerians i think your social fabric is weaker to be fair. Aven't yu heard the phrase you deserve the leaders you select then elect. Some, not all of you mostly make out to be arrogant as ignorant as they come. Its better if all this negativity was directed to the evils in your political decaying rulers. I think yu now get what i mean.
Sorry for words that seem insulting.

Thyanking you in advance

@londoner
First of all londoner(Wherever you are London or Nigeria). I would like to clarify that my intentions on Nairaland are purely the same as your own intentions(assumingly). Your registered name "LONDONER" betrays your spirited defence of Nigeria because it seems your are sterotyped to western values other than Nigerian ones. I would please advise you to direct your comments westward(satirical that is) where it seems more valued to you than your own country.
Pliz feel free NOT to contact me.
Thanks in advance.

@JJYOU
I really appreciate it that for once i atleast i am talking to a level thinking Nigerian(assumption).
Any way if you read that statemnt clearly you will find that it was more of a figure of speech rather than cursing.
Thank you in advance

Hi guys
Pokea salamz mingi.
Nini mbaya na huyu "IKEYMAN".
Kenya sure is a blessed country and shows more of how to really run a country rather than drown one (Some West african countries & Somalia included). Some Countries such as Rwanda have followed the kenyan system of management and surely shows how we are held in high regard. Since the port of Mombasa is used in the wider East african neighbouring countries shows that we are still the undisputed KING of Africa Economically, Socially and politically.
GOD BLESS KENYA

"OneNaija" or whatever that means
I am so dissapointed that a purpotedly "literate" (which i highly refute) person can stoop to such low levels of abuse and utter disregard of possibly any self morals. I always respected Nigerians as people of high intelligence but whatever your comments instigated puts that into question. I am not trying to create any sinister remarks that might jeorpadise the importance of this thread but to indulgde you in a more intelligent manner rather than inexcusable outbursts such as yours. I wouldnt want to assume that you are a person of minimum intellect? Or are you.
Wishin you the best.

Sure hell Nigeria is a cursed country. It shames me personally and the entire African motherland to live with such a blasphemous outcast nation as Nigeria. God forbid and forgive this sinfull nation from His wrath.
