I read this alot on FB where nigerian woman share "tips" on how to run your home without a help because they have a community blokos paedophile of a horseband.
ReplyDeleteSome lock theit kids inside and go to work, market etc and as long as they have cooked food, they believe it should be fine.
Some will say, they spoke with their neighbor to check on the children in the afternoon.
And i sometimes wonder what social services are doing in nigeria!!! Even if u disconnect your gas and electricity and lock them inside, what about your next door neighbor? What if theres an explosion next door, what happens to your kids?
Many deaths in nigeria are avoidable but unfortunately the environment encourages neglect because people like this are never held accountable for their actions
Rest peacefully angels
God forbid me to be a careless mother. I can't leave my kids unattended to for a sec even when they are fast asleep. I must make sure an adult or older child is with them while I quickly run errands. Rest in peace to the kids. Such a painful and sad way to die.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stupid mistake
ReplyDeleteOh my Gosh. May God give her the fortitude to bear the loss. RIP.
