Names Given To Children In Nigeria Lately

From native names e.g Bandele to religious names e.g. David and now to "positive cönfession/prophetic names like favor, destiny, miracle, great, testimony, etc. Sounds funny to me. Soon it will be phrases & sentences to show how positive we are like "it is wel, God is good, i wil make it, etc. We are taking everything to the extreme,civilisation & religion. We are gradualy phasing out those sweet native names like nkiruka, alake, ashake, Asabe, ndidi,etc. We are gradually killing our culture. Kai.

Baby in China Born with Second Face (PHOTO, WARNING: Graphic Content)

 
What does this mean?


It means the baby essentially has a second face

The child looks like he is literally wearing a mask, due in part to a massive cleft that extends almost all the way up to his ears. No one knows what causes this unfortunate condition, though theories abound. It could be caused by an infection, or even frequent drug use by the mother. Sadly, this condition is incredibly expensive to treat but thankfully, there is a happy ending, as Kangkang’s family has managed to gather enough money for treatment.

Hong Kong billionaire's daughter Gigi Chao bombarded with marriage offers and nude photos



Thousands of men have sent offers of dates and marriage proposals to Gigi Chao after her father made the HKD500 million (£39.8 million) offer.

Cecil Chao Sze-tsung, a property magnate, announced the bounty this week after reports that his daughter, a University of Manchester graduate, entered a civil partnership with her long-term girlfriend in France.

Gigi Chao, 33, said she thought that the offer and the responses were "quite entertaining".
She said that instead of being angry, she saw her father's announcement as an act of love.
Her father, 76-year-old Sze-tsung Chao, made his fortune in shipping and property said that his daughter was still single, and eligible, and insisted he would not force her into marriage with an unsuitable groom.

He said his offer was "an inducement to attract someone who has the talent but not the capital to start his own business".

"I do not mind whether he is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted. Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work," he told the SCMP.

Gigi Chao, the daughter of a Hong Kong billionaire says she had been bombarded with marriage proposals – and even nude photographs – from as far as Nigeria after her father offered £40 million to the man who could woo her.

When reading this I was wondering where are my Nigeria folks then I saw Nigeria in the news, Naija I dey hail ooo…LMAO

Viewer Discretion!!! Freshly Born Twins Found At Refuse Dump In Onitsha, Nigeria!!!

Residents of Okosi Road in Onitsha, Anambra State woke up to a most gruesome sight Sunday Morning. On top of a pile of rubbish in a garbage dump lay the dead bodies of a set of twin babies. It was obvious that they were just a couple of hours old. Still covered in fluid and placenta still intact. People flocked to the scene as the ghastly story quickly spread. So far, there are no leads concerning the identity of the mother and it still remains a horrible
mystery.
 
 
Freshly Born……….  
 
 
As much as I know the backlash that this statement would bring, I believe that abortion would have been a better option for the mother of this kids. Even though a baby is a baby from the first day, taking a decision to eliminate the foetus before four (4) months would have been a better idea, bad though it might be, but not as bad as this cruel and inhuman act.
 
Whatever happened to adoption, as an option? Granted, there are several reasons why people might not want to keep a baby, rape, abuse, etc, but if one can carry the child to full term as these have been, they could have also elected to foster them in a home.
 
This is really sad and horrific, when people the world over, are praying for children. Smh .*enraged.

Corpse Found In Suitcase Was Suspect’s Son – Neighbours


The shocked neighbours described the boy as very smart and wondered what came over Inuwa that made him to kill his child.

Inuwa, a welder, arrested with the corpse of the child in a suitcase last Saturday, is currently in police custody.

People who visited Bwari where the suspect lived on Tuesday learnt that Inuwa’s wife left him about a month ago, following incessant quarrels between them.
 
The nursing mother was said to have packed out of their one- room apartment, whose veranda was fenced off with zinc. The building was located behind Zenith Bank, Bwari, about 45 km from Abuja city centre.

 The room which was firmly locked with a padlock did not betray the nature of the heinous crime that was allegedly perpetrated inside it.

A fashion designer and immediate neighbour to the suspect said he was shocked to see Inuwa’s picture and the dead child on the Internet, noting that he saw Goodluck last Friday night around his shop.

“I was shocked to see Inuwa’s picture and the dead child; this was a boy I saw last Friday playing with other children in the afternoon and later in the night. Before now, Inuwa didn’t betray any suspicious behaviour except that he becomes aggressive anytime he is drunk and whenever he is high on Igbo (Indian hemp),” the neighbour who declined to give his name stated.

Another neighbour, Sam, described his pains when he heard that the welder murdered his son, describing the incident as appalling. He said for the few years he had known the suspect, he was always friendly.

“I can describe him as a friendly person, but he is antagonistic and hostile anytime he is drunk and everyone around here (neighbours) knew this and we don’t interact with him once we observe his change of mood. He also quarrels with his wife and the woman who is nursing a baby girl, left him about a month ago,” Sam said.

Daniel Okogie who claimed to have known Inuwa for about nine years stated that the suspect must have been under a spell to have killed his child, whom he said Inuwa took good care of.
He said, “We all know Inuwa and Goodluck and we are surprised that he would kill the boy. He took care of that boy and bought things for him; the child was to start school soon and now this tragedy happened.”

Asked if the police had visited the crime scene, Okogie and other respondents said they had yet to see them, pointing out that investigators would get clues that would assist them inside the apartment where he was believed to have murdered the child.

The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Doris England, had said that investigations had commenced into the incident.
