Nigeria woman went to UK as a dependant and broke up with her husband and as such the dependant visa could no longer help her secure social benefits. In the long run the little girl has to pay with her life for the ineptitude of two grown adults

Why's her situation in UK that pathetic to the extent sleeping on sofa without a permanent home and asking for placement for a 2 year old?

And she got pregnant with a British son in that condition too.

Was she prohibited from bringing her toddler along while visiting her sick brother ?

It's situations like this that makes one value family and community support one gets back home.
She did that all to get benefits from government. A mother with 3 months old baby and a 2 years old daughter separating from her partner is just wild. Exactly what Nigerian women do here. After giving birth and getting your stay from a man, the next thing is to accuse the man of domestic violence so you could get accomodation and financial support from government as a single parent.

Consequences of her evil plot.

Another irresponsible mother, she has not confessed who she truly went to visit. Do hospitals in the UK bar women from taking children to the hospital to visit a relative. She is using her crocodile tears to cover for her callousness.
My thoughts too

So painful!

I wish she had a support system, even the local mosque she attends or Nigerian community to rely on.

The Nigerians in the UK are not very communal-minded, everyone is in their own enclaves and mind their business. Even when they form groups, it's rarely to help out but how to benefit from taking advantage of one another.

Nigerians are not very helpful in general.

If she was Indian, a family would have taken that toddler in.

We need to do better as a society.
A family from her local mosque did help her but the child had drowned in the bin in the family's backyard while the child was playing unsupervised

Where is the child's father, the one who took her to UK in the first place?

Oh, he is suddenly not good enough for her Abi?

Nobody owes you any good will abroad. Go back to the article and ask her where she dumped the child's father who brought her to the UK in the first instance.

No one is asking where the child's father washuh? At a time when one child is having open heart surgery, and the other needs to be taken care of, the father is nowhere to be found?? Even if they are separated isn't this a a time where they put their differences aside and be there for the kids no matter how busy they both arehuh At least they mention there that her partner is a UK resident.

That's the difference between Africa and the west......there are so many things we take for granted here such as our communal living and our filial ties.

Life in certain aspects can be quite cruel over there though both sides has it's pros and cons.

Nigerians are just crazy people. All in the name of UK, lives are being lost unnecessarily. Well... Lives are lost here unnecessarily too anyway. So no much comments.

Really sad but the mother was careless.

I work in children social care with a London borough. She is an overstayer and that makes her continued stay in the UK, illegal and boroughs are already overwhelmed with requests for foster care from parents who are British. The cost for a week foster care for a toddler could be a minimum of about £600 (N1.3m per week) and local authorities are not eager to spend public funds on persons who is illegal in the Country.
That means she still stands the risk of being deported if she can't tie a British father to the other child..... tragic!!

Man go carry una japa, una go enter finish and say you no longer need him.

According to the article

Aunty came to UK on her husband's visa in March 2021.

But shortly after, her husband was not good enough for her and she cut off from him. This point was clearly stated in the article that she couldn't obtain public funds as she cut off from her husband n became an overstayer.

January 2022, a mere 8 months after landing in the UK, her child which ordinarily would have been with the father to look after was left in the hands of strangers n drowned.

Madam, you doomed the fate of that child the day you left the man that brought you to UK. Pikin was constantly sleeping on a sofa.
You don't know the full story,we really can't judge based on a single sentence.

JAPA JAPA. Feminism Feminism.

Both aren't always the solution.

Instead of the almajiri lifestyle she dey live ...she might have a better standard of living if she stayed in Nigeria.

No be everybody go go abroad.

A family helped her but they have their own issues to deal with too and they left the child un-supervised and the child died...

no one will look after another person's child with the same dedication they would use to look their own child. and what stops the woman from carrying her child with her?

it has nothing to do with Nigerians.. the woman is a bad mother..

East London is one of the most dangerous places to live in London.
So many wicked, toxic and people filled with hate are there.
Unfortunately is the area in London that have the highest numbers of NIGERIANS residing in London.
We have over 1 million Nigerians in East London.
If you want privacy and peace of mind, stay far from East London.
Rest in Peace to the Beautiful Baby.
