Hai, everyone,
If you had the power to create a single law in your country right now, what would it be? LOH #-280.
In every countries and gatherings of people all over the world, they're laws for so many purposes. Laws are put in place for guidance and for the protection of both the individual rights, and as a guideline between what the government allows and those that are not acceptable by them. Which are against human etiquettes and the acceptable ethical behaviors. Many of these laws exist but lact adequate implications.... Causing chaos
She was sent to buy cooking gas with cylinder on her head, crossing the major road with another sibling in her hand. What about if accidentally they're hit by a car?
In other words, there are behaviors and actions that are frowned at by the government of the day which responsible citizens are not expected to indulged into. This warrants carefulness in behaviors and actions by everyone in the country.
Yet so many people are guilty and have failed the expectations placed on them of quality human behaviors. Many are doing whatever they wish, not being mindful of the repercussions and this most often than not had landed such careless individuals into troubles of all kinds, cells, jail terms, court cases and sometimes prison yards proving to them what the law requires.
I want to practically talk about two storylines that went viral on the social media Real live stories!
You know, Some people had already been built up in their side with wickedness, sometimes, no matter what laws that are put in place, they will still violate it and never can they behave reasonably.
A story was told some time ago, how an aunt to a girl of twelf years old, I mean only 12 years of age suffer terrible pain on her female genital (her private part) of the excruciating pain inflicted on her by her maternal aunt she was living with, because she went by herself and took a piece of meat from the pot of stew in the kitchen without her Aunty's permission.
Her aunty got to know about it.... Grabbed her and lighted a hot candle stick on fire and began dropping the melted hot wax into the genital of this 10 years old girl.
The candle wax kept dropping and sticking into her genital and she began yelling in pain and for help. Until some good neighbours began to hear her consistent yelling, ran to the spot and discovered this wicked maltreatment from a maternal aunty to a little cousin of ten years old she had gone and brought to live in her house with. That good neighbours now called for her arrest and prosecution by the
ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIAN FEDERATION OF FEMALE LAWERS
She was arrested and took to court and to prison, as they told us through the viral video on Facebook
.
Another inhuman treatment by another lady about child abuse was that; a male child of a tender age was taken for caregiving job into another home. This very woman went and prepared a dog like iron cage.
Whenever she wants to go out, she will carefully lock up this boy into this cage with iron chains on his legs and hands.
According to her, so that this boy will not move around with other children in the locality where they lived. And she will either drop just a little food for him some other days, no food for him at all.
Not too long as well, her good neighbours also captured this scenerio and alerted Naptif to this boy's rescue and subsequently the so called madam was arrest and was taken to court of law for judgment. I think she was due for prison terms.
My take here is that, though these laws against child abuse is in place, but let there be a strict retaliatery quick response and adequate reactions against these many offenders of this particular law of child abuse. It's too common, too rampant therefore, damaging the dignity of children, nobody knows the next victim of theirs.
We can say that's for the poor and vunerable kids that had become maids but... let's look properly into those things that can make others to totally stop this injury on our children!!.
