Mehn.... Is the woman mentally ill? Because I can't even imagine a mother "threatening" with a knife let alone stabbing her own child.

If we say some people should be evaluated before being allowed to be parents, una go say FREEDOM.

Mental illness is real. The economy keeps going the downward trend daily but the apc and their supporters say it's ok.

Clearly a mental case. They should rather check her mental state instead of detain her in police custody

This govt is frustrating people

5 years in jail should be better example!!

When you born by mistake this could be the resukt

Are we sure the woman is mentally healthy

The man that held her hand really tried.

That woman is not mentally stable. After serving her jail term, she should go for mental renovation program at Yaba Left

Every 3 out of 3 mental disorder and family coarse and frustration are deeply caused by failed govt ..if the environment is safe Human will be safe too ..APC tufiakwa

She looks young. Did she have the child at 15

🤣 We are truly in the silly season! Look at these comments!

"APC made a woman try to stab her daughter and such things only happen because of APC".

KAI, spin doctors!

People.......Most of our people do not just understand life.

What happened to using cane, or other forms of light punishment?

People should not play or threaten with knives o:::: I remember the sad incidence that happened in India, around 2018, between two Nigerian immigrants in India......Where the girlfriend threatened her boyfriend with a knife and eventually ONLY CUT HIS THUMB with the knife, just a small cut on the finger o!!!

That was how the guy died! Loss of blood killed him...the girl crying 'I DIDN'T KNOW IT WOULD KILL HIM O'

OUR BODIES ARE DELICATE AND MADE OF FLESH......DO NOT ENDANGER IT.

Women don't really love their children like they are trying to make us believe.

An average Nigerian woman only loves you when you are providing for her or when she sees that you have the potentials to provide for her in the future (children).

But when they find out that you don't have anything to offer them in the future, they will treat you badly and begin to curse the day they gave birth to you.

Women only themselves. Even the love a woman has for herself is not always genuine.

Omo, parenting in this age no easy o, na mostly poverty De cause all this nonsense.

If na man do am, you will not say it is a mental case, you will scream jungle justice instead

After watching the video, it SEEMED she wanted to threaten her (though I don't know her mental state) because if she wanted to stab her, she definitely should have been able to as the woman was evidently stronger than the child. I came to that conclusion after watching the second part of the video.

Haven said that, parents should stop this habit of excessive beating of their kids over little things.ú

I seen woomen like this, very selfish and greedy.

The economy is frustrating a lot of people

Make she go cruise prison small

Truthsave:
5 years in jail should be better example!!

Is it not money that the government will use to feed her for those 5 years while in jail?

Money from our taxes

There's nothing like she's unstable. You guys don't know what anger can do. Some pple anger can make them committed murder. That's why it's important to be able to control your anger or wall away.

So because the girl don dey collect prick, na why she wan stab her. She should teach the daughter sex education

If na man do this kind thing, Dem go say na on colos, but as na woman so watin I go come talk na Ogbanje

MrJames007:

An old woman of over 58 is young to you?

Is it because she has small body?

15yrs in jail will be okay for her

People give what they can never take, not to talk of endure. Does this woman know the pain one goes through when something as sharp as a knife pierces through the skin? She should also be held and stabbed too so she can understand what she is doing.

58?
And she dey agile like dat? I no believe
