Sheer ignorance!

All newborns will float in water when placed. It has nothing to do with DNA or tribe. Newborns assume a flattening position when placed in water thus making them buoyant.
Tell them oo. because have done it before to prove them wrong

The blogger is to blame. Ijew doesn't put a baby to confirm DNA or to confirm if the baby is ijaw.

It's a tradition to welcome the child to water of the soil at that early age.

If he floats on water, he is a true born and if he doesn't, he is isn't.


How exactly does this confirm the DNA? He can be a true born of Ijaw without being the child of the said man. What happens when the said lady has an affair with another Ijaw man?
The Op is blabbing. It's just something they do traditionally for every child born of Ijaw parents not to confirm paternity or anything like that. It's a traditional something

Stop spreading wrong information about people U don't know. This has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with DNA

The most ignorant, dangerous, and lazy tribe in Nigeria is one that endangers their baby in water.

Where's Mary Slessor when you need her. 😂😂😂😂.

But seriously though I think physics can explain what's going on here. Considering that the babies bones aren't fully formed and dense yet, some form of buoyancy can be expected. Coupled ofcourse with the fact that the baby was laid on its back. Even a grown human can stay afloat for a short while on his/her back.
Okey,bring your baby let test physics

They should be arrested for endangering the life of their baby. What if that baby drowns.
Arrested for what? Moses in the bible that you read was also out in a basket in the river Nile and you are happy to read that story. The Ikawa start teaching their jump how to swim early. Thos culture is wisely oracticed among the Injawas. Go to court.

I thought as much. I don't know why people post fake/unverified stories here. How can the DNA of a baby be ascertain in such way?

Rubbish grin
naturally every healthy born child will float on the surface of still water
even when thrown dip into water, a baby will always come back up to the surface.
The baby loses this ability after some months cool
useless superstition cool
when you born a new baby try it. , 😁
