Wonder why people still do this to our girls.

I guess it's ignorance or plain stupidity...
But it raises a lot of question when someone based abroad can indulge in such practice....
Then u wonder why she left africa on the first place....

A 37-year-old mother has been jailed after becoming the first person in the UK to be convicted of female genital mutilation (FGM).

The Ugandan woman mutilated her three-year-old daughter at their family home in east London in 2017.

She was jailed for 11 years for the FGM and a further two years for indecent images and extreme pornography.

Sentencing at the Old Bailey, Mrs Justice Whipple said the act was "a barbaric and sickening crime".

"FGM has long been against the law and let's be clear FGM is a form of child abuse", she added.


The mother was born in Uganda but has lived in the UK for a number of years. FGM is banned in both countries, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.

The judge said it was not known why, contrary to her culture, the woman inflicted FGM on her child, although witchcraft was a possibility.

Spells and curses intended to deter police investigations were found at the woman's home before her trial.

During the trial, the woman claimed that in August 2017 her daughter climbed up to get a biscuit and "fell on metal and it's ripped her private parts".

Medics alerted police to the girl's injuries after they treated her at Whipps Cross Hospital in Leytonstone.

The child "lost a significant amount of blood as a result of the injuries... delivered and inflicted on her", jurors were told.

The woman's former partner, a 43-year-old Ghanaian man, was cleared of involvement in the FGM offence.

But he pleaded guilty to two charges of possession of an indecent image of a child and two charges of possessing extreme pornography.

Mrs Justice Whipple sentenced him to 11 months in prison, although he has already served his time on remand.

While the parents were on bail, police searched the mother's home and said they found evidence of "witchcraft".

Prosecutor Caroline Carberry QC said two cow tongues were "bound in wire with nails and a small blunt knife" embedded in them.

Forty limes and other fruit were found containing pieces of paper with names written on them, including those of police officers and a social worker involved in the investigation.



Sentencing the woman, who cannot be named to protect the victim's identity, the judge said: "[FGM] is a barbaric practice and a serious crime. It's an offence which targets women, particularly inflicted when they are young and vulnerable."

On the psychological effect on the victim, she told the defendant: "This is a significant and lifelong burden for her to carry.

"You betrayed her trust in you as her protector."

The case is only the fourth FGM prosecution brought to court in the UK. The previous cases led to acquittals.

John Cameron, head of the NSPCC's Childline, said: "Some cultures consider FGM a necessary part of bringing up a young girl. There may even be pressures for families to conform.

"The truth is it is a horrific form of child abuse and a criminal offence which has no place in today's society.

Lynette Woodrow, of the CPS, said: "FGM is an extremely serious form of child abuse and today's sentence underlines that fact.

"We hope that this conviction encourages those who have experienced FGM, or have suspicions about FGM offences, to come forward knowing that we will treat everyone with sensitivity and respect."

Europe should not be crried aay withccheap good tings from.china ,lest tey end up like africans...without jos and fullof imprtedggoods..

Tey ned to join The US and oroect teir market from e maraulding china who i bent on destabilizing world trade just for their own gain...

They rsit access to dia market and flood urs with cheap goods..so they can steal ur jobs

It's already happening....
The main reason for stagnant wages, evaporating middle class n struggling middle class is loss of good jobs in Europe ever since manufacturing has moved to China....
Most European govt now depend on heavy taxation on struggling working class to fund budget....
Since the manufacturing companies are either shut down or moved to China....
Sometimes I wonder if their politicians receive bribe from China....
The whole global trade is heavily skewed to favour China.....
Thanks to the global capitalist at the helm of affairs in western countries....
Dem go soon hear am....

I dunno what you think but I personally believe that Nigeria doesn't have 200 million people!

I also don't believe that nonsense population....
These figures were fabricated during census for election motive....
Card readers has exposed the fraud of bogus election number b4 it's introduction....
The north uses the huge figures to allocate huge resources to themselves.....
Have u noticed that other Muslim populated countries in Africa don't have the kind of population coming from northern nigeria....
What makes northern nigeria different.....
Yes they have a high birth turnover but this is neutered by high child mortality ratio...
This is why most poor nations don't have huge population despite their high birth rate....

Retrography:
Anything that comes from the West is the real deal... And that's how Africans have been enslaved in their thought process. *I remember when the US during Jonathan predicted that Nigeria will break up in 2015.*
Same way they refused to give us Ebola drugs. But we triumphed.

And didn't nigeria almost break up....
Thank God for Jonathan who was wise enough to give up power.....
Then, Buhari stupidity afterwards nearly put this country into another civil war....
Until Nigeria assemble a team that understands the dynamic economic system of the 21st century, I don't see us escaping the prophesy.....
Nigeria should also be restructured, serious states/regions should be allowed to develop while other ones who doesn't see the need to develop can continue to wallow in poverty......
Nigerian economy is oil dependent, so what happens when oil becomes irrelevant.....
The rest of the world has targeted 2030 to eradicate fossil fuel n go green energy e.g electric cars.....
So what to Nigeria when oil price finally goes downhill never to come up
Ur guess is as good as mine...

nelsonoba:
You are just another conman Socialist Liar! Statistics show that between 1970 and today, the rich have gotten richer, and the poor have have gotten richer. Go and check minimum wage in 1970 and compare it with minimum wage today. Keep deluding yourself with all those Leftist propaganda you watch that they use to deceive you and keep you in their 'plantation'. This is why you guys only reason with your emotions instead of facts!

did u read those articles at all....

This is an excerpt....
'Blanketing all of this are stagnant wages and vanishing job benefits. The typical American worker now earns around $44,500 a year, not much more than what the typical worker earned in 40 years ago, adjusted for inflation. Although the US economy continues to grow, most of the gains have been going to a relatively few top executives of large companies, financiers, and inventors and owners of digital devices.

continue your deluded assertion for pure capitalism support....
When it finally crumbles america, una eyes go clear....

the annoying thing is u guyz will be the first to start wailing anytime a story about Dangote appears on frontpage, accusing him of monopolistic tendencies.....

I just don't know, its like the black man cant just connect and understand his immediate environment.....
I want to believe that's the genesis of our problems...
Innovation start from within....

Let me BUTTRESS further.
If it were the WHITE MEN that are in charge of tapping PALMWINE from Palm Trees by now we would have seen a MECHANIZED TAPPING SYSTEM.

U can imagine that after all these YEARS of Turmoil, no BLACK MAN has ever come up with a pulley system to enable people tap PALMWINE.

OLD MEN still use ROPES, suffering and exposing themselves to SPINAL CORD injuries and Paralysis.
Most Men in the VILLAGES are Bedridden today because of such falls.

This is epic....

American median income is the most ridiculous among developed nations .....
Bring out facts to show american prosperity is evenly distributed....

that's how bad it is for ordinary americans....

PURE CAPITALISM AS PRACTICED IN AMERICA IS EVIL....
IT MAKES THE RICH RICHER AND LEAVES THE REST OF US VULNERABLE.....

mrbock:
it is very evident from what you wrote you have very limited knowledge on economics and just regurgitate what you hear without fully grasping the subject matter

in one breath you complain about tariff and complain about job going overseas.
the major purpose of the tariff is to correct the trade in balance between China and the US. To put it bluntly china has been raping the US. But with climbing debt china have now come to the table on bended knee to kiss the US.
The reason Jobs went overseas, is because it cost significantly less to produce products in China that most European countries and America. Hence most companies moved their production to Asia. It's not just the US, it's every big County
This is more in the failings on China than perceived uncontrolled capitalism. the population of China means more people are willing to work for significantly less and with abysmal human right condition companies can get away with alot in China

Inflation rate is not higher than wage rate, pls be educated. where is your data of the sliding middle class? The US is known for wage mobility hence the phrase "The American Dream"


The issue of college is sad, but there are trade schools and community colleges also I feel you should only collect loans if you intend to study a STEM course. Taking a loan to study arts is just stupid. Free college cost money, Who pays
things that are quality are not cheap
on health care, health care isn't cheap any where in the world. What dey don't tell you about single payer health in countries like Canada is the useless wait time to get a doctor and general gradual degradation of that countries health care system. Most go to the US for more serious medical condition.. I don't have the answer for health care but single payer health care has very significant drawbacks

90% of working class Americans are not living paycheck to paycheck. bring your facts or stop peddling falsehood

income inequality is increasing but the American dream is not dead. It's alive and kicking the question is do you have what it takes to achieve it or waiting for freebies

Job is going overseas because greedy Corporate America just don't care....
All they want is more money which is possible when manufacturing is outsourced.....
An apple executive was asked why I-phone couldn't be manufactured in America......
His response was epic, he said it's not apple's responsibility to provide jobs for Americans. The govt should do that.....


Trump got the diagnosis right but his treatment won't work....
Seriously u want to force China to buy what they don't need....
How sensible is that....
And import tarrifs won't work, u hurt the consumers....
Manufacturing may leave China but they go elsewhere not the USA, maybe africa which is good for us anyway...


For pragmatic solutions....
How about making college easily affordable to the youths without enduring neck breaking loans...

How about retraining or reskilling of workers affected by globalisation n outsourcing to other productive ventures....

How about providing funds to public schools to stimulate interest in STEM amongst students....as we all know, STEM is the backbone of future economy....

How about increasing direct govt funding for research and development in AI, robotic manufacturing, 3D printing, 5G tecnology, automated assemblies, new materials, high end manufacturing, quantum technology.....
Thereby keeping an edge in innovation and productivity, rather than feeling threatened by foreign competitors and kidnapping their daughters....

The above are the ways manufacturing can return to USA...
China is already ahead in all these new technologies and can boast of 100 percent robotic assemblies yet America that badly needs it dont even one....

Even if u feel China is hurting your economy, an holistic approach of ensuring Chinese economy is properly evaluated and placed rightfully by IMF and WTO will be more pragmatic.....

How about putting a leash around the neck of greedy capitalist establishment by enacting policies that makes needless outsourcing unattractive.....

Trump won't do this because he also benefits from the brutal capitalism bleeding poor Americans badly...
A con man who once open a fake university, awarding dubious certificates to naive Americans.....
A 419 who filed for bankruptcy repeatedly to avoid paying back his debt....
He even bragged is an expert in bankruptcy.....

Hillary Clinton's policy of bringing America glory days back consisted of the points I wrote about, but the short-sighted Americans won't see it.....

Now they have trump who wants to build a wall, keep immigrants out and force the rest of the world to buy American products they don't need.....

mrbock:
Where is your proof china is suppressing anything. Present facts don't just talk

Not knowing their stupid economic policies of unregulated capitalism is the reason wealth is moving from west to east.....

I don't have strength for argument ....
But let me ask u a question...

Why is it countries like switzerland and some Scandinavian countries with higher wages than America and higher cost of production are able to retain their manufacturing industries whereas American manufacturing is almost outsourced with dire consequences for rust belt states and it's population....

mrbock:
I initiated didn't want to but you asked for it

China operates a mixed economy : very limited capitalism and command economics(govt controlled means of production and distribution)

China fuelled their remarkable year on year growth by unprecedented government spending with GDP growth of 6.5-8 percent year on year

disadvantage
Government spending created a total debt-to-GDP ratio of 260 percent. This includes debt held by the government, corporations, and consumers. Since the state owns many corporations, it must be included. The consumer debt may have also created an asset bubble .

Urban housing prices have skyrocketed as low-interest rates fueled speculation. High growth levels have come at the cost of consumer safety. The public has protested
pollution , food safety, and inflation .

It also created a class of ultra-rich professionals who want more individual liberties. They live in urban areas, since that's where most of the jobs are. In 2017, almost 60 percent of the population lived in urban areas. In the 1980s, it was just 20 percent.
Local governments are charged with providing social services but aren't allowed to tax to fund them. As a result, families are forced to save. China doesn't offer benefits to people who've moved from the farms to the cities to work. Interest rates have been low, so families don't receive much return on their savings.

As a result, they don't spend much. That keeps domestic demand low and slows growth.

Every system has it's pros and con.....

But the question remain...Is China economic system working for the nation...BIG YES....
Is the present USA economic system of WINNER TAKES IT ALL working for the nation and it's people...BIG NO...

China is deliberately suppressing domestic income because they want to milk as much money out of the western economy as long as possible via export....
When western nation finally goes broke, China will turn to domestic consumer spending to stimulate growth.....
The stupid western countries especially USA is too blind to see the problem....
Rather immigrants from 3rd world nation is the cause of their economic woes....

mrbock:
most of what you wrote is completely false or heavily skewed

I won't even go into them in detail.

Capitalism is bad, so Bernie Sanders form of socialism is the answer

Venezuela, Cuba and Brazil hasn't been enough examples that socialism is a failed idea


The problem with socialism is eventually you run out of people's money to spend.

Maybe u can challenge just one of my point...just one....
Unregulated capitalism is killing America....
Corporate greed and selfish capitalism will eventually lead to to the downfall of that country....
China that u people love to praise as the next superpower practice strictly controlled capitalism with a mixed of socialism.....
U can't move money out of that country at will.....
They've refuse to open up their banking and financial sector, because they know the havoc greedy corporate guyz can wreck on a fragile but rising economy.....
Chinese university education is free, thus China is able to conveniently churn out millions of vibriant educated workforce every year....
Something America can't boast of.....in fact 40 percent of students in American colleges are foreigners....

Extreme of everything is bad...both socialism and capitalism...

Atigba:
He doesn't stand any chance, he is a socialist grandpa that has no clue. He believed everything should be free, of cause some lazy stupi.d people will vote for him, especially the youth.

America is the most prosperous country in the world and the most successful nation in human history. Capitalism made them so not socialism and communism.

Most of all, he won't get a vote from the evangelicals, he an atheist and a self hated Jews as well.

American capitalism is hurting it badly....
Moving factories to China, refusal to retrain workers, outsourcing jobs overseas, replacing American workers with foreigners, Employers keeping wages low and stagnant for years are the result of the brutal capitalism practiced in that country....
And the result has been disastrous.....


Wages are not rising as compared to inflation leading to a lot of people dropping from middle class to working class.....

University education is very expensive thus most youths choose to skip college to avoid future bankruptcy....
Unfortunately, there are not so many good jobs available in USA now that won't require a college degree....

Public spending in infrastructure is at all time low due to tax cuts to the wealthy and a dwindling middle class....
Most 1st class US cities can't even compare to 3rd class Chinese cities due to crumbling physical infrastructure....

Building a career as a staff in Wal-Mart or McDonald's is an invitation to lifetime struggle or possible poverty.....
U will forever be dependent on food banks n social welfare to get by.....

American public education system is performing poorly when compared to other OECD due to poor funding....

Healthcare is good but very expensive, 30 percent of Americans are not insured n will rather go to Mexico or Brazil to meet their health needs...
Despite the cost, American health indices rank poorly when compared to other OECD countries.....

The system now in USA is designed in such a way that if u are wealthy, u can never become poor and if u poor, it's going to be extremely difficult to be rich.....

America is producing more millionaires n billionaires than any country, yet the gap between the rich and poor is getting wider....
90 percent of working class Americans now live pay check to pay check....
The American dream is gone......
American capitalism sucks and that's what Bernie wants to challenge....

As far as am concerned, the root cause of the myriad of problems facing America lies in its capitalist system, and that's what should be addressed....
Not building walls or imposing tarrifs....

successmatters:
Those that have been ruling Nigeria for so long are still cutting heads to sell before they can eat properly we don't want.

For clarification...
That incident happened in benue....
And it was over land dispute...

Is there any senator who has kept his seat since 1999....

jayfolarin:
Nonsense and macaroni!

Just say you are disappointed that the guy that was gonna sell NNPC to 'yousall' got rejected overwhelmingly at the polls and you don't like the socialism-leaned policies of PMB's government.

But the truth is, a poor country like Nigeria can only lift his citizens out of poverty by employing certain socialism leaned policies like it is done in Scandinavian countries and to a little extent, China.

Extreme socialism as practiced in Venezuela, I am against. but UNREGULATED capitalism as preached by the west and practiced in America where you have just one Dangote as the richest in Africa but the remaining 180million suffering and wallowing in poverty is an absolute sham of an economic system!

Leave Buhari and his social policies alone, poor Nigerians (majority) like am like that

Unsustainable social welfare policies without a counter balance increased productivity n wealth creation is a recipe for a doomed economy....
Nigerian is in for a long solo ride....

grandstar:
I feel the price still needs to be deregulated to lure on investors. The higher the profit margin, the greater the incentive to invest. Government should not dictate the price they should sell. It's a big disincentive and a turn.

With increased investment and competition, the price will drop to reasonable levels.

Potential demand is about 50,000mw at present but what of effective demand.

It is rumoured that some DISCO's refuse to accept extra power from GENCO's due to a lack of customers willing to pay for it.

Yes the price will be deregulated and tarrifs will surely go up but not with the intention of short term gain or raising the money needed to invest in the sector....
Investors should bring their own funds or source for the initial capital independently....
What the present DISCO wants is to jack up tariffs to the level where they can raise the needed funds to revitalize the sector...
That's completely unreasonable...

theoldpretender:
So where do we get the money to make improvements?

Ghana pays higher than we do, and they are just as much a developing country as we are.

And at the moment, oil prices are too low for us to make a decent living.

And then there is corruption.

Shebi we should take loans? That means much higher bills anyway down the road.?

Let us be realistic.

Increasing tariff wouldn't solve anything....
The problem goes beyond that....

First, power should be seen as a long term investment and of strategic national economic importance....
It shouldn't be an avenue for business owners to turn billionaires overnight....
Presently most owners of disco n Genco see the business as short term gain....
They lack the resources to pull through on the long run....
That's why they keep harassing FG to increase tarrifs...
They've got no long term plan for nigerian power sector....

U need a billion dollars to generate 1000 MW of electricity for 1 million population.....
So to attain 50 thousand MW, which is the cut off for industrialization, we need 50 billion dollars investment in the power sector...
And for Nigeria to enjoy 24/7 electricity, we talking over 150 billion dollars for over 150 thousand MW of electricity....

The present guys don't have that kind of money or any long term plan to achieve that....
FG can't finance such project from its meagre budget n there's no way that kind of money can be gotten from tariff increment.....
Loan will not cut it, no organisation will loan Nigeria such huge amount of money. Besides, the interest n loan repayment will too burdensome n may even sink the nigerian economy....

What we need is foreign investors with the financial strength n technical capability to invest in our power sector....

When PHCN was unbundled, foreign investors from Ontario and Turkey indicated interest during the bidding process....
Rather, FG sold it to its cronies, ignoring those who has what it takes to turn the power sector around....
The result is what we seeing now.....

Second, power should be removed from the executive list and places in the concurrent list....
FG shouldn't have complete autonomy over the power sector, other interested players should be allowed to get in.....
Let there be complete deregulation n decentralisation of the power sector....
Whichever state, region, company or even individual that desires to generate, transmit or distribute its own electricity independently, should be allowed to do so.....
The whole idea of all power generated going to the national grid and evenly distributed across the nation is cumbersome n is part of the problem....

I'm sure states like Lagos or Rivers can easily achieve constant electricity supply to its population if they are allowed to do so.....
Business men can target wealthy areas like Abuja or industrial areas. They can win the contract to generate n supply electricity to those areas at competitive price....

Already, some institution like cannan land n covenant university generate n supply their own electricity independent of the national grid....
So what's the big deal....

These southeast governors really do ATIKU strong thing.....
Normally, ibo man no dey vote.....
Election results are simply written in governors office or Godfathers house and handed over to INEC to announce....
This time, nothing of such happened and Atiku's yansh was allowed to be displayed in public....
Seriously, Peter Obi na bad market.....
And Nnamdi kanu inconsistency didn't help matters....

RTSC:
I have never being sure of atiku, especially when I know he comes from a poorly educated region running against a god like incumbent.
In fact, I actually preferred kwankwaso.

But He actually impressed me in the south beyond expectations, and I attribute that to the obi effect.

Yes, bring osibanjo. Obi will use him as ping pong.

I look forward to where were where round 2.

Which obi effect....
See this one deceiving himself...
Buhari performed much better in SE and SS this time than in 2015....
Someone that couldn't convince easterners to leave their business and vote en masse for PDP....
Obi is a light weight and will be a disaster if PDP return him in 2023 for presidency....
Any political juggernaut from SW fielded by APC will finish him off....
In fact the likes of sowore, moghalu, durotoye at al will bury him....

raumdeuter:
This one go sweet well

Peter Obi vs Osinbajo 2023

Fielding Peter obi in PDP will be a disaster....
One of the reason for the poor outcome in SE was the Peter obi factor....
The Godfathers refuse to rig the election or write results in their houses....
That guy na featherweight and was a minus one to Atiku...
Though Atiku sef na negative.....

But I've witnessed public preaching in Dalston....
The woman use gramophone join sef....

U can use saline nasal spray to moisten the nasal passages....
Then infant nasal bulb or aspirator to remove the mucus....
I just really don't know how available are this stuffs in nigeria.....

hahahaha.. Trump is Putin boy na. Abi have u forgotten Russia role in making Trump president today??
Besides who controls most of the mass nuclear weapons today??
And Putin was behind the settlement of America and North Korea.

Guy it's Trump o...
See has he's making a mockery of American democratic institutions.....
He sacked the attorney General when the later opened an investigation of electoral fraud against him....
He called a former white house staff a dog....
He banned CNN reporters from white house press room....
He declared a national emergency just because he wants to build a wall.....
See the way he's handling China as regards trade war....
Trump is proving to be a man of his own words in a nation of strong democratic values....
Russia has got weak democratic system thus it's easy for a dictator to have its way.....

afroniger:
And what is wrong with being a cleaner? There are barely enough jobs to go around yet some people are looking down on some type of jobs. Smh. Nigerians and their entitlement mentality. Una no mind to go do cleaner abroad in spite of all una university degrees but here in Nigeria una go dey form. There is dignity in honest labour biko.

Oga a graduate isn't trained to be a cleaner...
Be it naija or USA....
It's called underemployment and it's a sign of slow growth and lack of economic opportunity....
Why should someone waste 4 years of his life if he knew the certificate is only worthy to secure a cleaner job....

Now u mentioned dignity in labour....
That's statement doesn't exist in nigeria....
It's only valid when the wage in such labour is enough to take u home and meet your needs....
In developed countries where minimum wage ensures a sufficient basic pay, then u can talk of dignity in labour....

What's dignity in a graduate earning 21,000 a month...
Nonsense....
