SisterAnn:
Is she mentally ok?

Some of us refused to go on maternity leave till few days to the D-Day.
If you are healthy, pregnancy should never be an excuse for being lazy or to steal. She could have begged for alms than resort to stealing.

My people would ask you if you are pregnant on your hands? Others would ask if you are the first to be pregnant?

Stealing should never be an option.

Having said that, the villagers were too harsh in their judgement. They are all mad in that village.
This is exactly my opinion. She shouldn't have done what she did. And like you rightly said. All the people that took that decision of banning her from the village are mad and senseless

In as much I am not in support of what she did, she could have beg in my own opinion.
But the decision of the community is harsh, wicked and senseless.

And this is a state that voted APC !

And this is a state that has a Catholic priest as governor that can't even do ordinary confession and ablution


Isn't it a shame ?

And this is a state that claims that they are good basket


Basket moth or mouth

Politicians encourage monarchy because they want to keep looting and rigging elections. If Modernisation hasn't stopped monarchy permanently, there is a big problem.

Now, they even have a whole government department for chieftaincy titles. Damn!

Also, the Nigerian police and military cannot secure the nation to the extend that each regions started having its local security programs. Hmmm

Then, why will ancient practices not happen? The way they barnish in the olden days is bound to keep happening. Why? Oldens ways are encouraged. So, why blame the chiefs or whoever banished the woman?

Nigeria is the problem

breach of fundamental right of the woman to leave whereever as enriched in the constitution. breach of the unborn baby right to healthy diet ... Aunty Remi see to it that she is taken care of and allowed to stay in the community. Don Jazzy make your Angel no sleep o, make he ping your giving heart. Ogbeni Ajayi tell your DSS men to go pick up the so call chiefs, let them come and tell us where they derived their powers to defame and banish a pregnant woman.

With these kinds of elders, Benue will continue to remain in darkness. What kind of stupid punishment is that?

These same set of elders are the ones running Nigeria today. Docile and bandit mindset.

She can't work?? Her family and husband family nko? That is problem of full house wife
Brother she has a phone. She refused to sell just for cho cho cho, yet she prefers to steal.

foolbuster:
Exactly, the only option she has is stealing. We should encourage her.
Are you minding them. See her accumulating children. We have made an habit of making irresponsible adults famous in this country.

If there is anything she needs urgently it is mental evaluation.

While I don't support stealing in any way, the elders of that community are not sensible enough to have meted out such punishment to her.

A Day's old baby's brain appears to be more mature than the Elders' Brains.

How do you use a Gun to Kill a Mosquito just because the mosquito Bit you ?


The way we talk ehn nawa

Say "while I don't support bla bla..."

How many of our stealing leaders or politicians have we banished?

Na we be we problem

Nairaland moderator, please be in charge of this humanitarian outreach and help this lady, her son and her unborn child. I do not support what she did, but her community leaders and elders are worst, how could they banish a pregnant lady with a little child who just lost her husband.
Get her info and put her on go fund me, this could change her life and that of her children.

I do really feel sorry for you. There's supposed to be a difference between humans and animals in creation. In Nigeria the differences are blurred hence the present predicament Nigerians find themselves.
Nigeria is so full of stupid people pretending to be intelligent. The main thieves in Nigeria occupy high offices,when are you going to banish them
Dull people like you as u said because normally as she steal she deserves more than what they have done to her....

I repeat again no matter the condition stealing ain't an option ..
If your son or daughter do the same ehn encourage them to steal so dey can get pity from the populace mtheew

Bros nobody encourages her. All what people are saying is that, the punishment of banishing her is too cruel.

Is it constitutional to banish somebody ?

Why have they not been showing the same strength to politicians that have been stealing bigger things than her.

Look at her condition, look at her children.
It takes bold mind to do what she has done especially if she has not stolen before.

If she was not pregnant that could have been a different ball game.

Set up a small business for her and see if she will still do that.

The punishment is not constitutional and she didn't commit capital offense.

Is the punishment justifiable?
I think in law there is what they call first time offense.
In which of chapter of Nigeria constitution says
People should be banished for steal?

People like u will even encourage jungle justice

I support this.
At least for the sake of the children so that they can become useful in the society.

The community is adding more frustration to woman.

Instead of paying for what she stole, they're flexing muscle, how is this justified, she's pregnant for God sake, stealing is bad but she has valid reasons and what she stole isn't even important, the real thieves are being applauded, any fool can see she's going through a lot, why Una wicked like this.

She even stole hair attachment join sef. Stole boys shoes, stole bags.This one pass hunger. Stealing is in her DNA.

But the villagers judgement was too harsh.

She can't be a first time offender. Did she steal the hair extensions, many shoes and bags in one day? I doubt that.

Still, the villagers were very harsh and very wrong in there punishment.

The Local Government Chairman and Councilor of the specific Local Government have to rise up to the task of rehabilitation of the Young Pregnant Widow and Son,for God Sake.

Also Commissioner of Women Affairs and Special Adviser to Governor of Benue State, rise up to this task to save lives of a widow..

Thanks

Her reasons valid? You mean hunger drove her to steal hair extensions, bags and shoes and other items not related to feeding?

See her self, she's bleaching her skin, see her hairstyle, does she look like she's truly hungry?
Banishment is never ever going to be the right way to go no matter how frustrated the villagers have become by her, but let's not inadvertently encourage stealing. I hope she learns her lessons.

The government in her state should take this matter up and resettle her, while punishing those that banished her from her home.
Re: Woman Banished From Benue Community For Stealing Items To Feed Herself And Son by Lamasta(m): 7:56am On Oct 13, 2025
Though her action is bad but the motive for her to steal is what matters here, the community is suppose to assist in a little way they can to support her and look for another means to punish her for stealing instead of this type of humiliation knowing fully well she's heavily pregnant.....
Re: Woman Banished From Benue Community For Stealing Items To Feed Herself And Son by Sk5050: 8:14am On Oct 13, 2025
Nothing more nothing less , poor people always hate themselves and the rich understands this so they use it against them. Very unreasonable elders, that family will certainly receive help and her kids will be great.

Government and women group should step in and save this poor woman.

She committed no crime for trying to feed her kids.

The king of that village should be sanction by government for not knowing when to apply the law.


This so heartbreaking to read
