For all those who want to go abroad as a single mother or send your wife abroad with kids. No body to help you watch the children most times

That is it.

My question is where is the father? This is why it’s important to give your child a two parent home they could have shared duties

This is how many Nigerians who live abroad live their lives but don't tell people the truth. They will rather be calling Nigerian a shithole instead of telling people the truth about how most of them Labour to make a living at the expense of themselves, spouses and kids. Some have to do multiple jobs to make ends meet while for some, both husband and wife will go out to hustle and leave the kids alone but won't tell you the whole truth. They will rather tell you about the glamour but not paint the complete picture. Like I have said before, if many Nigerians work/slave as hard as they work/slave abroad, they will equally live large in Nigeria.

If you have kids in the UK and you want to work, you must be prepared to pay for some form of child minder and if you are a couple and both of you want to go out to work then the same applies.

UK child protection laws are ruthlessly enforced unlike in Nigeria where anything goes.


UK law on leaving your child on their own

The law does not say an age when you can leave a child on their own, but it’s an offence to leave a child alone if it places them at risk.

Use your judgement on how mature your child is before you decide to leave them alone, for example at home or in a car.

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) says:

children under 12 are rarely mature enough to be left alone for a long period of time
children under 16 should not be left alone overnight
babies, toddlers and very young children should never be left alone

Parents can be prosecuted if they leave a child unsupervised ‘in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to health’.

Sentiment aside, the mother was heartless, irrational and careless, no matter her desperation for money. Who is that adult that will leave a ten-week-old baby alone for 8 hours? Her jail term is too small.
Hunger sef and dehydration could have killed the baby. 8 hrs is a very long time.

"I don't need no man, I don't need no man!"

This is the end result.

She ABANDONED an infant for 8 solid hours. That's an UNIMAGINABLE level of cruelty. That poor baby died of TORTURE.

He'd first go thirsty. He'd go hungry. He'd get overheated. He'd get painful sores for being in one place for an extended period of time.

All because the lady CANNOT afford the cost of childcare by herself. If she had the baby with a responsible man who was in the picture, BOTH of them would have pooled their resources together to pay for a babysitter.

Or they might be on alternative shifts so one of them could look after the baby while the other goes to work.

By the way, I don't understand why a CHILD KILLER who tried to abscond only got a MEAGRE sentence of 3 years.

This woman KILLED a person. She should die in prison.
Take it easy!! Chief justice of the world.....she wasn't charged for murder neither was she charged for manslaughter..... Go read the article again and carefully, you would see what she is being charged for.......

Why would you say she resemble a criminal? Do you know half of what they go through there? Common, we're talking of her baby here. Definitely she went to work and she couldn't afford to hire a nanny. It's not easy over there.

First question on my mind was, "where is the father of the child?". However it does look like she stays alone. It's a possibility that she is a new entrant to the UK and the father stays in Nigeria though, given that she stays in accomodation provided by her employer.

UK sentencing for you. Shebi this one was negligence, wait until you see actual sentence for murder in the UK. Pathetic.
Health care workers are not allowed to bring families (spouse and children) to the UK.if she had worked for long,she should be on matermity leave for 1 year in the UK with paid salary.
Re: Nigerian Nurse Jailed In UK For Leaving Baby At Home To Go To Work by PeachtreeReside(f): 6:49am On Sep 12, 2024
She wanted to implicate The Childminder which shows the sort of person she is .


Did she get pregnant in order to get British citizenship because why is the Father of the child not in the picture?

Who leaves a 10weeks old baby alone for that length of timehuhhuh


She is 28, q nurse and should know better than to leave a child for that length of time.....


Poor baby.

You must be Mad ...

In Nigeria, yes , you have thousands of people to help you look after the baby...

What about making ends means...

If this country can fix it leadership issues, people won't have to be going abroad like kilode.

How much will get paid as a nurse in Nigeria.
Shameless and smelling country.

I'll rather die in the desert trying to get to Europe , than die of TINUBU hunger and hardship

You are stupid for that comment... Any body who works hard in Nigeria is at his own risk.

30 years of hardwork labour , nothing to show for it.

5 years of working abroad, you build house for lagos and PH.

Most big houses you see being built today on the streets of lagos are done by people who live outside the country.
Re: Nigerian Nurse Jailed In UK For Leaving Baby At Home To Go To Work by greypencils: 8:21am On Sep 12, 2024
If you probe deeper, you just might find out she called the police on the child's father and kicked him out of the house. Easy guess considering that women are temperamental when pregnant.

If that nurse was white, she would receive national support and maybe even honoured. They would say that she inadvertently sacrificed her child by placing the welfare of scores of patience before her needs. She received no help.

In the West, there are always perspectives when race is concerned.
Re: Nigerian Nurse Jailed In UK For Leaving Baby At Home To Go To Work by Litmus: 9:19am On Sep 12, 2024
If there's no more to this than implied by the article headline then the jailing of that Nurse is a travesty of justices and a raging indictment of the powerlessness of the UK Nigeria community.

Her conviction and jailing is nearly tantamount to a human rights violation by the UK. She needs huge sympathy and support by the system . Fucking outrageous!


Nigeria government need to raise objections even if nothing will or may come of it. A symbolic gesture in this instance is powerful.

By their handles you shall no them. Over 70% of the people from that region cannot hold a conversation and make intelligent submissions. They always have to resort to insults because they can hardly make intelligent arguments.

How many people in Nigeria work multiple jobs? How many work for 18hours and even more? Carry your illiteracy, foolishness and arrogance somewhere else. I don't have time for you

What is this one saying? You will arrest a man who might probably be at work for his wife's negligence. Except of course the man was also at home. You think say na Nigerian police?

UK is not where you can born anyhow as single mother especially you are not sure who pregnant you..so no child support,d cost of employing nanny is high ,you will pay them minimum wage.she just want to get rid of d burden,d sentence is too small..20yrs should have been better.

Yes naaaa...husband work night...wife works day shift......if that won't work they will at least have more money combined to pay for day care...because this is obviously because of over saving not wanting to pay for child minding service...

But when kasala burst...she remember the child minder to help her lie...she was not even remorseful.

I wasn't talking to you, and my comment was not even specifically about this lady in this case.


"Husband works night; wife works day" but conveniently, at other times, you guys believe working makes women masculine, and "uncontrollable" in the house, and childcare emasculates a man. I quoted that guy because I was just curious if he's in support of a domesticated husband, given his opinions on here.
