“This little girl of two and a half years did not fall or hit by a motorcycle, but she was brutally beaten by her mother with orogun (stick for turning Amala or Gari) for not been able to count 1 to 200.

This happened in my compound this evening, I didn’t do or send it online because of this, but it has been happening repeatedly and I can’t take it any more.

“Good people of Nigeria, help me to rebroadcast this until it gets to an NGOs, I want this woman to be dealt with for treating her daughter like this for cry out loud, in case any NGOs want to get in touch with me for the arrest of this woman.”
