@50caliber, i think people should keep their mouth shut if they don't know what to say,a man owns the child in Nigeria and so what, having a prick doesn't make you a man, and if you are so proud of nigerian traditions , i don't know what you are doing here in the uk, Anyway my take on this is that the lady in question should report the case to the appropriate authorities,like the Nigerian high commission here in the uk and the police then the interpol and there some non governmental organisations that can take the case up back home and also make complaint to the Nigerian police headquarters Abuja, That child should be with the mum no matter what, he is too small to be out there with someone else other than his biological mum.
