If you can not scientifically defend the practice keep quiet. I can scientifically condemn it.

Not all children walk at the same age. Different people reach the milestone at different ages. Some never do. The cause of developmental delay should be sought by a professional.

The child is at risk of infection from earth dwelling microbes including viruses, bacteria and fungi. He may contract tetanus, botilinism, anthrax, , histoplasmosis, cryptosporidium, aspergillosis, pneumococcus, pneumocysticosis and strachybotrys among more than 100 other possibilities.
Among the bacteria let us mention the gram negatives as well as coliforms (bacteria found in human and animal waste)

Many of these have no effective treatment even with modern medicines

He may be exposed to elemental poisoning from man made and natural substances in the soil including radioactive waste, lead, products of degradation of plastics and other compounds, degradation products of insecticides and herbicides, leeched byproducts of industrial processes and mining etc.

Apart from sickness, this child is being subjected to mental and physical abuse by ignorant and/or wicked guardians.

Yet some people come here to defend this barbarism. Shame on you.

Black man. I give you hand o! No wonder we are last in everything that matters

broseme:
What is wrong with our people?Don't we think again?According to Jeph who lives in Makurdi,Benue state,a child's legs were buried in the ground due to his inability to walk at the appropriate time.Below is what he wrote...

'Just saw this around my neighborhood,a child got his legs buried for his inability to walk as at when due. Is this practice not barbaric and brutal?'

What do you think?

Which of you have any memory of the exact day ahd hour you started walking? You only begining remembering details about age 5. Even then, your memory is sketchy. The baby will never remember this when he's grown up. But let him see a picture in future and he will seek vengence on all involved.

angeltolly:
They even gave the baby sweet and buscuit to keep him busy all the while.


In this 21st century Whoever did this no get sense sha. What is the correlation between this practice and baby walking. Smh.... So many microbes in that dump site. Common sense is not comment.

DeLioncourt:
And dyu know what psychological scar you may have left the child with?
Y'all shud consider every implication of an act before executing it. There's a reason such acts are not approved by relevant authorities

MadamExcellency:
Unfortunately, I have done this before against all orthodox norms but it worked that same day in the evening. The boy was seen walking by himself after the "inhumane" torture five hours later.

Apologising to the boy when he always expresses gratitude is something else.

Did you read the post? You dont see the problem in someone exposed to pathogenic fungi that can cause meningitis, lung infection, skin infections that do not have a cure?

MadamExcellency:
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.

NikitaNike:
oh gud. Another big english.
So the child should remain lame bcus of big grammer

bezimo:
There is nothing like black men here!! It's a question of does it really work?

It's an obvious traditional practice of strengthening a child's leg that might have a scientific principle behind it.The natural lateral forces in the earth acting in a compressed manner horizontally on the child's legs to support it for a long time in a vertical position and all that and this is the first time I am hearing or seeing such thing.That a child's legs can be strengthened to walk by planting him/her into the ground.lol

If folks claims it actually works.Then condemning the act is uncalled for.You can only argue that the approach should be more controlled and clean.
I agree proper protection should be won by the child before subjecting him/her to the natural elements of the earth which could be harmful.The risk involved are manageable and shouldn't be really an issue if it can be done in a controlled and clean environment.

lonelydora:
It works, whether you call it superstition or not.

misterjosh:
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.

Ajaodolapo:
neo-colonialism in its full effect. Evritin dat is African, even if it works is seen as barbaric, dirty.i pity ds generation of ours. If it gives desired result nko? Wat den will u say?

sinkhole:
The point is, it works, as claimed by some people and hence further studies of how and why it works need to be done! There may be hidden knowledge here.

kings11ng:
just because you are talking about common sense, it doesn't mean you have it. that you don't understand something doesn't mean it ain't effective. don't be too quick to expose your ignorance

samsam2019:
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

DeLioncourt:
An ancient practice that only leaves the child with trauma.
This does not serve any sensible purpose...the idea that it with help the child walk is a baseless myth.

Stop arguing, I may not scientifically defend the practice but I have done it and it worked that same day.
