gj22: In this case, there's no bodily harm nor a situation leading to casualty. There is no difference between this practice and putting a plaster-of-paris on a dislocated joint. |

I don't see this as barbaric or cruel. so long the kid is in no pain or discomfort. Not everyone can afford a physiotherapist, so they're carrying out therapy on the child within their own means. 1 Like |

Onegai:these people aren't thinking about the implications of their actions. there're safer and less risky ways to help a child walk than burying his leg like this. |

Pylony:how do you know the one that is destiny? our ols neighbours fist son refused to walk even after 1 1/2 years. they went from one hospital to another, they were busy selling them cod liver oil and other stuff, no result, then they travelled with the boy. i dont know what they did in the village, but the boy came back running sef. also, i had seen this stuff before in the village, i thought they were punishing the boy or that the boy cant stay one place so they burried him there to know where he was. i had no idea it was something else until this thread. |

Africans with their disregardfor their very own culture. So I have seen it before and it works just fine. Our ancestors may not build planes but they are thinkers. They are not some nut eating monkeys the whites would have you believe. Some of y'all openingyour mouth like goat you don't even know if that was how you began to walk 2 Likes |

Nothing wrong with such acts. Many nations, including the Chinese, engage in traditional medicine. If people could insert needles in their bodies and term it Acupuncture, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with this! |

Let me first say, i learnt sth new today (tho i wont try it). Also, in as much am a supporter of tradition (to an extent tho), is still think this is risky n i fear 4 d child. What if he is bitten by a poisonous snake or stung by a scorpoin underground? He'll jst b there probably crying n trust our nigerian parents dey wont bother to check d real reason y he is crying (all in d name of discipline) till its too late... I still think there r other methods dat r safer n still effective than dis. |

My baby got to walk well past the expected time, all we did was wait and let him get there now he runs everywhere... This is barbaric and if it worked in time past Is just a hoax...

As much as I don't support this primitive therapy, it might work. Besides, the boy should "thank his head". In another clime, he could be accused of witchcraft. The offence of the boy in that pix was not so grievous before he was abandoned to die. ...../p38pJo-3N.... https://hubzs.files./2016/02/wp-1455692967922.jpg

DeLioncourt: Which relevant authorities? If I need light, I buy fuel for my generator. If I need water, I pump water from my borehole. So what has the so called irrelevant authority done for me besides clamouring for increase in data price that fellow Nigerians use to keep sane. The day Nigerians go reason these authorities that day go RED. |

AZeD1: You doubt wrongly. Children exposed to psychological trauma can suffer from its effects. Have you heard of Sigmund Freud? Carl Jung? Eric Ericson? These people are famous for their work in showing how the early experiences of the child affect his adult development. There is a whole area of psychology devoted to studying and understanding childhood development. Google is your friend |

DeLioncourt: What is this one saying again, which authority pass our great grand fathers and mothers. They say it's an ancient practice and someone just confirm that it works and you are ranting about psychological trauma which will be more of a trauma to the boy in future if he can't eventually walk and he gets to learn such a practice could have helped him to do so and his parents knew yet because of people like you they didn't. Well I guess you don't have a child yet so don't seem to know the trauma the parents are going through right now because of his inability to walk without any obvious reasons. We should all have been extinct by now if our ancestors were dumb as some of us assume they were. 1 Like |
