ReplyDeleteOh God of heaven. Baba abeg remember your daughters who are seriously waiting/crying unto you for a child. We promise/swear we will take care of them. We will do our best to bring them up in the way of the lord. They will NEVER do house girl/boy more or less being sold to a ritualists. . ******clears throat and cleans tears. !!!What a world..
ReplyDeleteThis is no poverty. This is just wickedness.. How can you sell your own child? The child you wife went into the labour room to.birth not knowing if she will make it or.not.. Or what the hell,why sell any child? Both those you birthed and those you didn't... The man should be hanged if the daughter is already dead and she should be jailed for 10yrs if she is still alive

ReplyDeleteWhy didn't the man use his child for the rituals for himself? Wot is 200,000 compared to his own flesh and blood? Pathetic human being,oloriburuku.....
ReplyDeleteNot poverty but greed!I know a lot of poor people who would rather die than give their kids out as househelps not to talk of selling them for rituals.Let's stop blaming poverty for every rubbish that sick people perform
ReplyDeletewhich poverty and ignorance are you people talking about? how many poor people have u heard selling their children to ritualist? the man is wicked and evil, even if he was rich he would have sold her power....its his mind set not his circustances
ReplyDeleteHow about giving her up to be adopted and get paid for it rather than ritualist?may the blood of the innocent girl cry out to God for vengeance! Her killers shall die a slow and painful death
ReplyDeleteIts better ppl sell their babies to capable hands dt will help better the babies life than to train the baby to suffer.
