Ayo x Gadgetron Hub (@arrak…): Not to be tribalistic, but it’s always Igbo women. Wtaf is going on??
Sir Dickson (@Wizarab10): Heat the knife and press it against her face. She does not deserve kindness.
Yehgha (@yaygha): Igbo men, broadly speaking, and Anambra men especially need to have a conversation among themselves about the cultural dynamics that have nerfed their men so profoundly, they have no authority in their homes. At this point, we need to put the banter and tribal chauvinism aside and address it. It is serious.
chief sọm (@chisomholic): Always Anambra State, the state with the most weak men in all of Africa. You’ll never hear of such nonsense happening in Delta State. That their famous festival may be shameful but it keeps “people” in check, at least.
Ayekooto (@thebardogbam…): Everybody might be afraid to say it but I will say it. This abuse of young children by Igbo women seems not to be a random thing. There seems to be an underlying pattern that is not being addressed. Is it that the perpetrators of these crimes are cultural victims themselves or is there a traditional reality that is not being looked at. This is not the first time nor the 5th, 6th or 7th time that we keep hearing of this. There must be something that is triggering this.
Ozor Ndi Ozor (@OzorNdiO…): This woman heated a knife in the fire & pressed it against a young boy. She repeatedly reheated the knife each time it cooled, continuing the act until she caused severe injuries to her own sister’s child. To be honest, it’s high time the Government set up “OPERATION SHOW YOUR HOUSE HELP”.
Peng (@Acedouglas01): They didn’t lie when they said “when an Igbo woman starts dealing with you, even the devil take lessons”.
Unruly (@pontrol_777): Ibo women lol!!! After devil na them. This is the nonsense they are importing into Yoruba land by marrying them.
APEXTONE (@ToneApex2…): As a Ghanaian, every time I see something like this it’s always an Igbo woman.
Victor Ayeni (@Ola_ayeni_): The way these female abusers put creativity in their cruelty towards children is baffling. Like, where are you getting your dark inspirations from?
Nwa Eze (@Tallesty_): It just has to be an Anambra woman. There was one case back then where one Anambra woman and her children were maltreating a girl. If the woman’s daughter was beating the girl, she didn’t use canes or simply slap her; she punched her and aimed for her breasts. I know what it took me to get her to safety.
HisMasterpiece (@HisMasterpiece): Hian! What is all these madness going on? Is the hardship making people lose their humanity? Or are new demons being released daily from hell?
IFEANYI (@IFEANYINDUKUBA): May God Almighty continue to expose and disgrace them all in Jesus Name, Amen.
sirboost (@nnatusd): And to think she is pregnant abi is my eye paining me. How much more wicked can the heart of humans get. Absolutely dark ages we are in.
Amita (@Wellborn_Ovie): Is there a baby factory that keep making children for those evil women to maltreat because who give out their young children to those monsters?????
oneguylikethat (@drstringsbe…): What is wrong with our Igbo women oh???? This is disgusting.
Nonye Nwa (@merit412): Umunwayi anambra,Chineke mere unu ebere.
Ológbojò-CFRN (@ajin…): Why this wickedness ibo women?
Okafor Maryjane ogechi (@Ok…): Prison don full with this kinds of people,God abeg chiaaa.
AdaVera (@AOnyii6056): I’ve known igbo women to be sweet souls. I totally condemn this.
