See as the man use all the frustration of him life pour untop the body of that innocent child . I don't blame him but I blame those wayward entities who leave calm-headed men like us and be dating iron monkeys like this to the extent of giving birth for them

Na wa for this Okija man o...

Anyway Asiwaju Jagaban borgu 2027

Nigerian women should learn to stop opening legs for irresponsible men.

Stop taking colos

Is that the father in the picture? I'm sure he got the girl pregnant as a teenager and was forced to marry her. They should investigate well to be sure he isn't sexually molesting the baby.

Are these the kind of men our women are now sleeping with?

Why haven't they designed that animals face with the same wire too?

Could be rippling effect of corruption... E get how hunger go blow you, irrational actions go dey control you

Very wicked satanic incarnate venting his life frustrations on a poor child. Jail the useless man!

Evil man, wetin 2 year old know.

At that age, na to dey train and correct the child

A man used wire to flog her child...awon human right activists of Aba

Edit the heading abeg, a GenZ father flogged his daughter with cable.

This is same guy who possibly dont greet ederly people around him. Kids learn from what they see and hear, does the id.iot exchanges greetings with his wife in the presence of the daughter? Has he ever taught the kid how to greet before? Can that baby even talk very well?

Me wey I nor dey answer my son's greetings sometimes. There are times I don't wish to be greeted; just be silent and leave me alone.

The guy should take to yaba left brain testing

skino927:

so the hunger could not be a rippling effect of laziness...they will just sit shamelessly and idlely somewhere and blame government for their self inflicted predicament,they even blame government for their existence self

The reason why whites treated us like this in the past was because our different skin tone made them see us as lower animals. What is his own excuse? This is his flesh and blood. Does that mean he would turn away if he saw another person do this to his child? Many fertile people do not deserve to reproduce. Know the fact now and know peace.

This little girl will grow up and become great in life. By that time, if she wants nothing to do with her father, Nigerian men will start running their dirty mouths like faulty taps that it's the mother that turned her against her father

Being an evil parent is unjustifiable.
Thats why some people cant progress and remain poor all their lives with evil mind.
Be nice to your children,when they are at peace with you,they naturally open doors for you.
Children are powerful.
Dont do them anyhow!!

I swear to God, I bin don already know who to expect even before I click the link.

The guy is taking out his frustrations on the poor child

Even though this is wrong, Most nigerian Fathers are guity of this.

And this is what creates trauma in a lot of children evenn till adulthood.

After facing the stress of providing for the family, with the weight of the World putting pressure.

A Man often get's aggresive to the little issues at Home.

Are Mothers have suffered this, Children have suffered it too.

He just needs training, mentorship, and the Child rehabilitation.

When people who are not fit to become parents start raising children, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT expect them to raise good children or possess what it takes to raise children.

See who dem call father. Somebody who even appears like iron condemn. A young man who is not able to provide food for himself, ended up impregnating his kind to make that child. Person wey no fit greet im own biological papa dey demand respect from pikin wey no sabi talk.

Look at his head like spider.

Anyway, irresponsible young women make themselves available to have children with irresponsible young men.

It is not difficult to agree that the young man wanted the pregnancy of the child terminated. Seeing that there was no choice, he must have calculated to kill the child somehow and by all means possible.

to be illiterate and poor is a dangerours disease. money is d only cure, because it will give ur world sence.

Fxxlish man...he is probably on kolos

Mentally ill people everywhere just bcus of tinubu regime

Only poor and hungry people would be flogging children mercilessly for not greeting them, why couldn't he greet her first if he's so desperate for her greetings?

That's Tinubu effect. No money no work... hunger lead to anger. Let vote out Tinubu and APC.

This is wrong but I don't believe everything on social media. There is more to this story.

Zonefree:
Nigerian women should learn to stop opening legs for irresponsible men.

Don't you think it's an irresponsible woman that would do thus?! An apple doent fall too far from it tree.
