Shockwaves are reverberating across Yorùbáland and the global Yorùbá diaspora following the sudden death of the Baba Ọba (King’s Father) of the famed Oyotunji African Village in South Carolina, USA. The late Baba Ọba, Lukman Arohunfale, a revered socialite and traditionalist, passed away under circumstances already sparking fierce controversy. His death comes just days after he publicly accused the newly installed Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty Oba Akeem Adéyẹmọ Owoade, of allegedly ordering his courtiers to beat him mercilessly during a recent courtesy visit to the Oyo palace in Nigeria. In a widely circulated voice recording, the deceased recounted how what was meant to be a simple homage turned violent. Although the Baba Ọba had reportedly battled ill health in the past year, growing insinuations suggest that the alleged physical assault may have aggravated his condition, ultimately leading to his untimely death. The palace in Oyo recently denied that s...
This sad incident happened at the University of Maiduguru in Borno state yesterday May 24th. A female student who just gave birth to a baby girl, reportedly killed the baby and was trying to force the baby through the toilet when she was apprehended. Facebook user, Enyigwe Supreme Peter, who shared the photos wrote;
"Some ladies are heartless..crazy, stupid. In fact I don't know any word suitable to describe this lady. Sometimes I wonder why some girls don't have the fear of God in their life.. The picture below is a true life story of what just happened at Murtala female Hostel at the University of Maiduguri today. As a lady gave birth to a female child..killed the child by herself and was coercing the child into the female hostel toilet..My question is... If this lady was treated in this manner will she be alive today?? Who will marry such a heartless woman as a wife?".
These things happens every where in the world. The problem is the expectation that every society demands from women, and it is very enormous. Remember, women are human too. We have forgotten the contributions from the male partner who may have told her to get rid of the child, they love to promise heaven and earth for a quick sex but always not ready to face the responsibilities that comes with it.They have forgotten that even one time quick sex can turn to pregnancy. Remember, no girl in her right mind expect to be in such situation, especially when they are unmarried. As you can see, this girl is in a higher institution to better her life but resulted to unforeseen pregnancy.What can we do to help her should be our motives this time. We must stop to put all blames on women. Please I am pleading to all women in the world not to get rid of any pregnancies because they are gifts from Yahweh to you. Before a child comes to you, this spirit has been decided from the THRONE of Yahweh that you should be the mother of the child and the channel by which the spirit will enter the earth.Gracious Yahweh has mapped out your life or our lives before we were born but we seems to embark on self destruct during our existence here.Always remember that no one can hurt you, they can only talk for a season and that is all. In no time at all, you will see your child grow to a beautiful human which in turn shall care for you when you become old, unable to function as before.I really sympathize with the little girl. May Almighty Yahweh give her the strength to fight every evil in her life. I shall never stop praying for every woman out there with such situations. Be blessed.
