Please make sure you give your girl(s) panadol and dab their heads with hot water. It would help soothe pain since their mother has ruled that painfully braiding hair is do or die. Get them soft pillows too. I know they'll survive.

Thank you.

Exactly the point. HER girls, her business. Not yours.

And what makes you think her girls find braiding very painful to the point of requiring panadol? Do you know her?

Natural hair enthusiasts are another set of extremists we have out there. I noticed it with my sister, friend and a colleague. Once they start that their natural-hair journey ehn, you no go hear word again.

Na so now At a point, you almost start to wonder is it more than this hair matter? Haha!

CeterisXVII:
Don't mind her. Just read through all the posts she has been making. When you call her out on some of those points, and she now realises she has goofed, she backtracks and spews out further inanities.

I've been reading through and just shaking my head. Nothing worse than an ignorant person who believes they know it all.

CeterisXVII:
You have finally confused and contradicted yourself.

That is usually the end result of ITK

CeterisXVII:
I wonder, o!! People like to exaggerate. Okay, they should not let doctors give their kids injections or vaccinate them, since it would cause the child pain.....abí?

Haha! Yes o, just keep the child in a safe little pain-free bubble all their lives.

Biglittlelois:
I am seriously trying to understand the rational behind it, these migrated Africans are the first to cry blue murder if any form of generalisation comes from the whites, but it is very okay for them to say ridiculous nonsense of their fellow blacks, especially the ones living in Africa, when it suits them, the irony, hypocrisy and double standard reeks in abundance.

I tell you. Ridiculous arrogance.
They need to come off their high horses, it's so off-putting.

I wonder why some people have taken things so personal yammering on about Black people this, Black people that, making the most stupid generalisations one can think of.

Again I ask, who died and made you judge and self-appointed natural hair warriors?! Rubbish.

BlackPantherCri:
I started when she was 18 months. Now she's the real MVP

Wicked.

Ryan03:
that Lady is not normal

Lol. I no join you talk that one oh

I find it really annoying reading threads like these where people carry their amebo into other people's lives or try to tell them what to do without being asked. Who died and made you judge? Nosy parkers.

snowblaq:
It's a personal matter of choice.. Live and let live.. ..do to your kids and allow another to do to theirs.. ...its better I braid my kids hair once in 3 weeks than combing daily in the name of styling and making a bun.. ..thats more tedious on both the kids and mother and it isn't sustainable anyways.. I'd rather make the hair once in 3 weeks.. ..not anything too painful but pain is a subjective matter.. .a lot of kids would cry anyway you comb their hair.. .that doesn't mean we should scrape it skin cut or leave it unattended to.. .
The kids crying doesn't in anyway make the mum a wicked person please.. ..most women are just being mothers in the best way they know how to and with the best intentions.. ..

Thank you, well said. Exactly my point. It's a very subjective issue depending on so many factors. You can't use one instance to judge all others.

ireneidiva:
Some of us do o. So its just better to braid to prevent it from breaking and pain.

I can imagine Hair types are so varied to be honest.

fieryy:
Kuku kill the child nau. Shebi it's yours

What does kill have to do with haircare?

1Sharon:
Lol when you see ppl with long hair now you get envious

You need to love ur hair dear

I have medium length healthy natural hair which I am happy with. My point is let people do what works for them. We are not in a nanny state.

fieryy:
And when you try to teach them, they give you excuses to why your hair is different

It's not your place to teach anyone what they should do with their child's hair. You are free to have an opinion but you CANNOT teach someone else, it's not your business.

Sterope:
It might be you derive joy in watching parents hurt their kids. We don't!

It is their children they can do and undo. If they can hurt them for their own satisfaction and teach them to enjoy pain for other people's satisfaction, they can as well kill them.

Logical thinking is clearly a struggle for you.
Cos I don't understand how choosing to plait a child's hair = hurting them for your satisfaction.

Find someone else to quote / engage with abeg, I can't be wasting my time.

1Sharon:
See them. I'm sure you and your child have alopecia. Nigerian women want long hair but don't even know how to achieve it

How is it your business what others do with their hair? Ever nosy Nigerians.

Is it your alopecia? ITK

Sterope:
Judgement call to put their children through unnecessary pain because of their own idea of beauty?

Does that make sense to you? You could as well tell then to kills their children because they are the parents.

As long as you are not the parent, it's not your business. Sorry.

If you applied the sense you claim to have, you would know what is considered unnecessary pain is completely subjective.

How does the comment relate to killing a child? What does that have to do with the point made?

ireneidiva:
I do all that and my hair is still hard. So speak for only yourself.

Your hair type must be 4xyz in that case
I am yet to see a hair type that would be hard after it's well moisturized.

computergeek:
She should never go throw any pain at all until she's old enough to decide that she wants to do it.

And by old enough, I mean 18.

It's not for you to tell others what pain they should go through or what age that should be. That's a personal choice. It's the parents' judgment call.

Just do what works for you. What is torture for one person is simply an inconvenience for others. We all have different pain tolerance levels. It's up to the parent to make the judgment call.

14 good pages!

Internationally influential lawyer indeed. Take it easy with this level of pathetic ass-licking.

wink2015:
Britain has very strong institutions.

They are always carrying out routine investigation every now and then.

Nigerians living in the midst of the Brits should be conscious of the facts that they have a global bad image as Nigerians and they are under 24 hours surveillance.

She is living in a very advance country with working infrastructures such as regular electricity, affordable foods etc.

She should have been contented with the good things that country gave her which is very rare back home in Nigeria.

Abusing the privileges of her residency was just too bad of her.

That's a huge exaggeration.

Firebomber:
Lol, I guess I'm chatting with a computer bot, lol, the idiot have been repeating the same things since morning.

Well for your information, no one is stopping for creating your useless court but not on federal allocation.

It's a thorough waste of time engaging with him, his brain works in one direction only. Irrational being.

Kuginzi:
Ignoramus fellow, pls do your research, Islam is the most popular and fastest growing religion in the world

[/s]

dochenaj:
But it is not a crime for the traditionalist, because their king must be buried with some human heads.

Go ahead and commit murder, then you can explain to the police that you are a traditionalist. Let's see how that will play out. Smh.

Kuginzi:
You are the real hypocrite!! If you're not careful, and u continue this way, you will be embarrassed because u can do us nothing. Free your heart from hatred, bondage, and propaganda. Pls note: either u like it or not Islam prevails...

Just shut up. Who do you think you are threatening? It prevails in only your life, eod.

dochenaj:
If there is freedom of Religion. It is interesting to note that traditionally in some places when the king dies, he is buried with a number of human heads as custom demands.

Wouldn't it be a contravention of the religious practice of the traditionalist if you stop him from searching for the human heads as his religion dictates because it is murder?

What an analogy. So you don't realise that murder is a crime?

Kuginzi:
Have u ever been charged to Shariah court? If No, then it is non of your business.
Pls mind your business.

We will not mind our business. You bloody hypocrites.

Instead of the North to focus on EDUCATION and development of the region, no. It is always religion. Was that not how Jigawa state govt used state money to construct 90 mosques.

Height of retrogression.

Kuginzi:
Did anyone force u to file your case in Shariah court? This is hypocrisy

Then why are they trying to amend the constitution?!?? That is how gradually they will start encroaching on people's freedoms. Rubbish.

Kuginzi:
No amount of hate can deter or stop Islam from spreading all over the world.
In fact, Holy Prophet Muhammad (on whom be peace) has been recognized and lauded by academics and historians for his secular credentials and for upholding freedom of religion. Author and historian Michael Hart writes in his book The 100: A Ranking of The Most Influential Persons of History wrote the following: “My choice of Muhammad to the lead the list of world’s most influential persons may surprise some and be questioned by others but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels.”

"He it is Who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the Religion of truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religions, even if those who associate partners with God hate it". (61:10)
My people, You can't stop Islam from prevailing.

FREEDOM OF WORSHIP and FREEDOM OF CHOICE is the right of every individual. Stop forcing your religion on any one else. Eod.
