U ran out of the car to call madam. Why didn't u take the baby along.

If she had tried picking the baby she would have been bitten.
The dog must have noticed attention was giving to the baby more than her. A beast is a beast no matter how you treat them animalistic behaviour must surface.

both of them were inside the vehicle.

I dont think there was time to run out with the child since the dog had already started getting angry. If she had gone for the child, the two of them would have started dragging her

It would have been better to stab the dog in the eye with something to weaken it or distract it, because you have a low chance of getting to the baby first

Nna mehn..I hope I can remember all this grammar im spouting if the time for me to fight a dog ever arrives...chai...

By the way, theres nothing spiritually wrong with the dog people.

Do you know how the couple must have been pampering that dog through all their years of childlessness?

When the baby came, the family transferred all their attention from the dog to that child.

Nothing spiritual about it, its just common jealousy and it happens a lot

And I agree with drabeey about culture..people take it too far..a dog is an animal and treating it like a person is just deceiving yourself [/size]

I could not have said it better you just wrote out my mind.

Dog,alias 404, is only gud in d pot

Yes i understood but all i knew she could not have responded faster than the dog.

NONSENSE. THAT IS WHY WE KEEP SHOUTING AND PREACHING NEED TO EMBRACE OUR CULTURE. IMAGINE, A DOG ATE A CHILD. WESTERNIZATION SHOULD NOT BE TOTAL. WE CANT BECAUSE WE LOVE THE WHITE PEOPLE CULTURE AND NEGLECT OUR OWN. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CULTURE IN NIGERIA THAT GIVES CHANCE TO ALLOWING A DOG TO STAY IN YOUR CAR, LET ALONE SLEEP ON YOUR BED. IM VERY DISAPPOINTED THE DAY I SAW ONE WOMAN KISSING HER DOG IN LONDON. I WAS LIKE LEMME SLAP HER,BUT U KNOW I CANT DO THAT. ITS THEIR OWN CULTURE, BUT NOT OURS...
WHY DO U HAVE TEDDY BEARS ? PLAY WITH THOSE. OR BUY A DOG AND KEEP IT FOR SECURITY REASONS. NOT IN YOUR CAR.

trash sir....dogs are considered pet. Why is it right to kiss and hug teddy bears aand wrong to kiss ur pet? I think u should av said if anyone feels like kissing and hugging he should hug humans and not teddy. Remember it is d western culture for u to sleep with and hug ur teddy too...the woman's mistake is keeping a mad dog beside a baby(very stupid on her part) putting d dog in her car to take it to d vet clinic is not wrong abi u wanted her to tie d dog on d trunk all in d name of not wanting to put dog inside car??

Lol, you mean those brown dogs that look like foxes?

When I came home I used to see them just wandering around the road, I couldn't believe it

I like those dogs somehow they look very peaceful

sukkot:
listen man, you can do what you want. but i aint confronting no crazed blood thirsty maniacal deranged dog, not especially if i am a downtrodden housegirl who probably gets treated like shiit anyway by the woman, and not especially if she is paying me 50 grand a year. i aint risking my life for that. thats her kid not mine. thats how i see it. i am sure you see nearly 10 frontpage topics daily where housegirls are mutilated by their female bosses

I get what you mean but the point should be that it would be futile to start fighting with an agitated dog. Not because the babys life isn't worth it, or because you are not valued enough by the baby's parents, but because it would cause more harm than good. Its not the baby who treated you badly, after all

so are you saying that if you were a well-paid, well-looked after househelp, you would be more inclined to fight the dog?

I mean that's really terrible. The girl should do her best as a human being for another human being, that's all. We cant blame her for being scared but in an ideal situation it would have been good if she had acted with more sense

what i find so funny is that nigerians dont value the life of other human beings so why are you all pretending that the life of this 4 month old baby is valuable ? his life is not valuable. why pretend ? just a few threads from this a crowd lynched and burnt a man to death for stealing a pot of soup. ALUU4 lynchings. everyday. so why are you all acting like the life of a 4 month old is valuable and i should trade my own for her ? i dont get it. its all pretense. HOWEVER IF I WAS TREATED EXTREMELY KINDLY BY THE LADY AS A BOSS AND SHE TREATS ME LIKE AN EQUAL AND NOT A MAID then i will be more inclined to try to at least risk my life just a little. YES IT ALL COMES DOWN TO HOW OTHERS TREAT YOU AND THAT WILL MOTIVATE YOU TO WANT TO GO THAT EXTRA MILE FOR THEM BECAUSE WHEN IT ALL COMES DOWN TO IT ? THE LIFE OF THAT 4 MONTH OLD BABY IS MEANINGLESS IN THE JUNGLES OF NIGERIA

By the way I see in films (don't judge me please) and hear from my parents a lot that in an emergency, especially a medical one, many village (for want of a better word) people are more inclined to stand and scream than actually do something

Like on those films..somebody is having a stroke and instead of the person to go and get help, they just stand like "ewooo chi mooo nna anyi don't die o... please you cant do this to me" and all that...then the guy just dies unnecessarily when he could have been saved

It actually happens a lot in my village back home..they just stand there and shake the unconscious person and start crying..thats it

So maybe the maid was just acting as conditioned..I still think she could have done better but if I look at it like that I cant really blame her

Dabreey leave Nigerians.we too like copy copy.Having a dog is like competition in Nigeria now.once sum1 just start to raise family d next tin na heavy dogs.they feel daz Hw dey 'belong' ( modern family).funny enuf it doz not solve any security problem.mshwww!

some will just av like 6 different breeds in their compound(who dem be!). and their fuds na foreign fud o.the cost of feeding d dogs can feed a poor household in their community. vry annoying.
I like pets but I think one small animal as pet is enuf.

Rip to d baby!
my heart goes to d mum/family!

And people need to understand the breed of dog they get...some dogs are not meant to breed with each other because the offspring will be too aggressive and dangerous...under a stressful or unusual situation the weird combination of genes will eventually show itself

Well the value of life in Nigerian society a bigger question that im not equipped to answer so I have to leave it there

teemy:
shows the nanny's level of dedication. a guess would be the mother left the child closeer to the nanny than to the dog. a call to ladies to treat their helps better and have them loyal.

hmmmmm, unfortunately u may be right, the nanny could have done better than bolt away.

Gurgle:

Life has no value. so lets not attach any value to the life of the 4 month old. thats all pretentious nonsense. each man for himself. protect and look after yourself and most of all, seek the protection of God on your own life. the 4 month old you tried to save could in 20 years time be the person who lynches your own child to death. with black people you have to stay away from helping them because they can turn that help into negativity. while dragging the 4 month old from the dog if you rip the babies arms away from his body, you can be lynched to death on the spot. your help turns to your death. happens all the time. its a jungle.

MY GOD!!!!

Dats y i so much HATE dat creature wit much passion
Cnt eva stay wit a dog

May dat little angel rest in perfect peace

As 4 d woman dere's no need 2 insult her cuz she wuld av done dat 2 herself already
Cnt possibly imagine hw she feels ryt now

May d Lord console her n d family during dis terrible tym

coolsegun2002:
Seriously...that nanny should be flogged...she saw the dog moving close to d child nd the first idea was to shout for help nd go get the mother in the market full of people...at least....she could have tried to save the child...what is she a nanny for??even if d dog were dat strong..it couldn't have easily killed the nanny.......I'm sure if it were her child she would have did her best to stop the dog nd not run down to go get help...she just saved her self from one or two bites rather Dan save the child from a tragic end....

I suspect the nanny sef, if she had stayed and shouted at the dog or just moved a distance a threw thing at it, the dog would have been too distracted or scared to do this, and she would still have gotten peoples attention with d drama.
She doesn't like the madam

plainmirror:
"When the dog moved closer to the baby, you ran out (of the car) "

What stopped you from bolting with the baby instead ?

I had wanted to call this CARELESSNESS but I rather call it STUPIDITY on the part of the house aid.

So if u ar the one, you will have the gut to take away the baby under that circumstances? Tell me something.

So has experience caused you to adopt this pessimistic ideology? or its what you were taught

there are some elements of truth in what you are saying, but its too negative to be realistic. Life is not that straight-forward. The 4 month old could kill you, could grow up to donate you one of his kidneys, or you may never come into contact with him again..its not really the matter at hand here because nobody knows for sure what could happen that far into the future and there are too many factors affecting it for it to be a part of the reason why you would leave them to die or help them to live.

The point is that the baby didn't need to die, whether the housegirl liked the woman or not- lady was careless with her family and this was the result.

In a wider point, adopting foreign traditions in a half-baked way for reasons even you don't even understand will eventually backfire at some stage

oh yes. many experiences where my help has backfired. its like what they say, when a husband and wife are fighting just leave them alone because if you get in the middle, when they settle they will put all the blame on you. listen there are millions of blood thirsty angry nigerians walking around waiting and seeking for whom to kill and devour and put their frustrations on. it is in your best interest to keep to yourself or you will fall victim to one of them. thats the best advice anyone will ever give you

Sad story.

Some people say dogs who are well trained do not attack their owners and their owner's loved ones but according to studies carried out by veterinarians, no matt4er how well trained a dog is it will revert to its natural instincts if its not well looked after or it feels threatened. Also I heard that some dogs see babies as natural targets because of how small they are ( I don't know how true that is). Whatever the reason its unfortunate that it had to end this way for this family. I think its really important to choose the right breed of dog when you have small children, some dogs are more docile than others, I personally wouldn't advise anyone who has small children to keep a dog that has an aggressive temperament.

Also dogs are known to be quite territorial and feel threatened by a new addition to the home as they feel that all the love and attention previously given to them will now be transferred to the baby, perhaps the dog became so attached to the woman and became "jealous" with the arrival of the baby. Therefore if you have a dog (and young children) make sure you spend time with it feeding it and taking it out to prevent it becoming angry and jealous by the arrival of a new baby.

I don't think the woman knew enough about dogs because if she did she would have known that babies and young children are regular targets of dog attacks, anyway RIP to the infant.



Well looked after dogs can be very protective of their owner and owner's loved ones though:

Check out this woman pretending to beat her child and see the reaction of their dogs:

it cant apply ? you have not been reading what i have been saying have you ? you snatch the baby and start running and the blood thirst dog lunges at you and takes a huge chunk of flesh out of your ankles and in pain you drop the baby and baby smashes head on concrete and dies what do you think will happen to you ? they will pour gasoline and tyre on you and burn you on the spot. it looks like you are trying to kidnap the baby and the dog attacked you. they will not want to hear that you are saving the baby from the dog. there is a reason why when people see people dying on the street in lagos no one approaches or touches or tries to help. why ? because you can be killed on the spot for trying to do ritual with someone ( this is what they will think ). africans are crazy. protect yourself at all times. good samaritan does not work in africa. you have been warned. me i done talk my own finish

The dog must have noticed attention was giving to the baby more than her. A beast is a beast no matter how you treat them animalistic behaviour must surface.

I think the maid should have made more of an effort to get the dog away from the baby, perhaps she could have hit it on the head rather than run off to get help. Once the dog sank its teeth into the baby it must have continued biting deeper and deeper because at that point it saw the baby not as a human being but as prey.

Well, I guess you haven't been reading what I said either. But I didn't say it to you in particular, so I can excuse that. In any case, I never advocated snatching the baby- there is a low chance of you getting there before the dog does. I think it would have been better if she had used something heavy on the dogs head, or something sharp in its side. Theres no point running with the baby- even without holding a baby its difficult to outrun dogs self

I understand what you mean though, I am slowly starting to realize some of the points you have made. Kindnesses are nice but need to be performed selectively sometimes

then the dog will turn on her and kill her. wtf ? so she should be killed instead ? this is bad advice. they are in an enclosed car. listen, in any civilized country in the world the girl will be given a medal of bravery for taking the appropriate actons which is run out of the car and call for help. but amongst you black people you think she should aggravate the dog some more and then when she is killed you will be the same one typing she is st-upid-she should have run and called help. black man can never be pleased. thats another thing i am starting to notice. it is hard to please a black person . you will not be happy until i have killed myself for you

Madam carry the dog and baby and said we should stay in the car.

That nanny's response is epic.

Stop blaming devil on this one.
Rather blame the woman that carry dog and baby with a brainless nanny. What a combination.
