ypzilanti: My brother, look up the word 'memoir'. The guy had to speak his mind before he died. He was pained, and had to pen his PERSONAL recollection for posterity before leaving planet earth. Memoirs are usually partial to the author, and are critiqued all the time. In saner climes the criticism to Achebe's work would have been historical in context, but in Nigeria, it was tribal.

I have asked severally how attacking Awolowo equates attacking Yoruba people and nobody wants to answer me. You people need to stop all this elevation of people into gods who's decisions and actions cannot be questioned. The same goes to Igbos who venerate Ojukwu like he is a god. My personal opinion was that the war could have been prevented and Ojukwu could have prepared better for war. But I was not born at the time. I think people who experience the pain of that war have a right to speak their mind.

babyosisi: They are your children,you can do whatever you want with them frankly speaking
You are already drugging them by your own admission and your husband's consent and valid justification
Who am I to stop you?
Biko delete my post,pretend it never was
I just hope others see that is bad parenting and desist from so doing and not contemplate such
I have moved on from that topic Nne
Your children
Your drugs
Your spoon
Your hands
O HO!

dominique: I don't know why osisi had to single out othenok's post about sedating her baby as if she was the only one that mentioned it. Is it because she's based in Nigeria or what's with all the ish about Nigeria being messed up got to do with all that? The op even stated that she gave her baby flu medicine or you convieniently missed that cos she's uk based. Even women in your beloved US of A are capable of doing worse. Some women even admitted to worse on oprah. Don't tell me you've not heard of junkie mums that abandon their babies and go partying all night. Don't you watch crime shows on investigative discovery where parents do despicable things to their children and make it look like an accident or kidnap? Who do we blame for such attrocities? the American sysyem?
A lot of mothers here will never compromise their children's safety or well-being, but sometimes well oiled machines do develop faults and affect producitvity.
I've done some things I'm not proud of myself (including inducing sleep), doesn't make me a bad mum and I don't think its fair to make someone feel bad about it (to the point of suggesting she bought her baby).

babyosisi:

Have you drugged your kids before?
Please answer me
It is a thought that has never ever crossed my mind no matter how noisy they were
It is a criminal offense to knowingly overdose someone what more children
I didn't know amongst Nigerians it is regarded as nothing,no big deal
So this is common practice amongst the Nigerian mothers in Nigeria?
OMG
I am almost certain that if she did it once she has done it again when similar occasions arose
Lord have mercy
No wonder our country is messed up,more than I thought
The sort of things people condone and excuse
The topic is about short cuts with kids and people are talking about feeding and bathing and throwing away soiled clothes and a woman admits she sedated her children with drugs and you call it no big deal?
Do you have an idea how much over the limit it takes to kill an infant due to their smaller body weight?
And when the kid dies they will look for a neighbor to blame it on
Your response is actually more shocking than the original post I responded to
Unbelievable
People came down on those FB killers that drugged and raped Cynthia then come to find out Nigerian mothers drug their own children for their pleasure and it is no biggie?
God forbid bad things
