In a video message, she said she has been troubled by recent viral clips and reports of abuse and pointed out a worrying pattern where many domestic violence cases involve Igbo men, while several child abuse incidents involve Igbo women, especially in situations where children are sent to live with relatives or work as house helps.
Georgina repeatedly stated that “there is a problem in Igbo land” and urged her people to confront the issue instead of blaming outsiders. She questioned why some continue to demand Biafra while serious problems at home are being ignored. She also called on community leaders, elders and influencers to speak up and push for real change.
She referenced recent cases, including a woman in Imo State accused of pouring hot water and wax on a child, and another incident in Anambra involving severe mistreatment. She condemned toxic masculinity, harmful cultural excuses and the abuse of children under the guise of discipline or family responsibility.
I can’t even argue against this! I can’t! It’s just so shameful!
ReplyDeleteThis is not to say help abuse doesn’t happen amongst other tribes but the most vicious ones I have ever seen have come from Igbo women! So so shameful!
What exactly do they discuss in their August meetings and other church gatherings.
DeleteThis has been going on since the beginning of time. Social media just brings more cases into light these days, that's why it seems like it is increasing.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young, like primary school age, one Igbo woman used to live in my neighborhood. She brought her step sister to help with chores as she had two young kids..
This house girl was around 12 or 13yrs old. She was always looking sad, scars and bruises all over her body, she never wore any shoes or slippers around the neighborhood, it was bare foot that she walked around with. The only time she wore tattered shoes was when they attend church. Her hair was cut, you will see scars on her scalp. She didn't attend school too, she will drop the children in school and come back home to work
We didn't know what happened but we just heard her mum came to take her back to the village.
Praise the lord @ the last two lines. Reading this story reminded me of what I suffered in the hand of my late uncle's wife. I can still remember going to the stream alone as early as the cock crow in the morning and also going to the farm to meet my uncle after school, this was when I was in primary school oh, chai!
DeleteWondering if it runs in their blood.
DeleteNo be small thing my sister

ReplyDeleteHello iya Boys
Thank God it's one of them that is calling those evil women out.
ReplyDeleteIgbo women knows how to maltreat kids given to them in the name of training. Only few is exempted. Almost all children that stayed with them has a story to tell. Siblings do the same to their younger ones.
ReplyDeleteI saved my younger sister from the hands of our first born. At six she was running errands to distant places, washing clothes, sweeping and cleaning. Something her daughter at that age couldn’t do. The day she flogged her in my presence, I became very mad because it was excessive. She dealt with her to the extent she jitters when she sees her or hears her voice. The girl is mature now, but still has low self esteem.
If those Igbo boys wey dey serve oga in Lagos tell you wetin their oga wife dey do to them, you go just weak.
ReplyDeleteThe wickedness of madams to umu boy, is a story for another day. Very wicked women, yet you won’t fail to see them in church.
DeleteMy Aunt found out I was raped by the husband at the age of 9, she did nothing to stop further occurrence rather she taunted my life as if I wanted to snatch her husband. That lady showed me hell.
DeleteAnno~18:23, please tell all your relatives and most importantly tell God. Raping a child is a sin that should not be forgiven no matter how long it takes but then again, we are not God.
DeleteWhich means they have Nacircistic personality disorder and tends to destroy people that lives with them emotionally. Which has a wider implications for the society.
