Lady narrates how her mother allegedly chopped off her hand and slashed her face with a machete

Glory Smart Emenuwe, a young woman from Ezhionum community in Delta State has narrated how she was allegedly brutalized by her mother.

The lady said she was almost killed by her mother in 2013, who allegedly chopped off her two hands and slashed her face with a machete.

She said; “What happened to me could be likened to an accident because I never expected it. However, it was my mother that chopped off my hands and slashed my face.

“On that fateful day, while I was still very young, I woke up one night wanting to urinate, so my father asked my mother to lead me with a torchlight to the back of our house where I could urinate.

“While I squatted to urinate, I didn’t know my mother had a machete in her hand. The next thing I remember was that she descended on me with the machete and I fell down.

“While I was down, she continued to cut me all over my body and I was screaming. It was then that my father rushed out and collected the machete from her and raised an alarm, which attracted the neighbours.

Unfortunately, by the time my father rushed out, my mother had already accomplished her intention. My father wanted to use the machete on her too but was stopped by the neighbours.

“Afterwards, my father got my mother arrested by the police. However, she’s late now. The incident happened in Edo State in 2013.”

The victim appealed to the government and Nigerians for help, saying;

“I’ll like to go into trading and I don’t have start-up capital. I stopped my education at the primary level but if I can get a sponsor, I will like to further my education.

“I came from a poor family and I have no helper. This is why I have nothing to do, so your assistance will be of great relief.”

It is likely that you may not meet your grandmother (my mom) alive when you come back, I tried to make you see your grandmother today (her health is failing her as a result of the beatings she received from your mother Blessing ontop her health condition). I tired so hard and made calls that I wasn’t supposed to make, all for the love of family. The internet never forgets.

I will not indict myself in anyway, but you will hear the story of how your father is a Daredevil, you will look at me and be proud to have a father, an only son that conquers multitude of brethren. Ochubara dike n’ohia, that’s what you will call me. It is a challenge, and a promise. A mortal one, till I die.”

Confusion as mother disappears with her daughter’s bride price

Drama recently erupted at an introductory rite in Garsen community after the bride’s mother made away with the bride price paid by her in-laws.

The bride’s mother, Anne Maweni, reportedly feared her kinsmen would short-change her and left the ceremony with the dowry amounting to Sh170,000 (N650,000).

The ceremony was underway in Tana River County, Kenya, when family members noticed Maweni, the bride’s mother, was no longer present.

“During the ceremony, she is the one who served the guests and elders food but did not join them on the table. Nobody knew what time she left,” said Maweni’s sister Veronica Meilu.

Efforts to reach her on phone were futile as she had switched it off.

Maweni later texted her sister with another number asking her to oversee the remainder of the ceremony.

It was then that the elders and in-laws who had gathered for the ceremony realized that something was amiss.

“I was not aware of my sister’s plans, but here I was being put to task, to explain how we stole the dowry and where my sister was,” said Meilu.

As the leaders were contemplating reporting the “heist” to the police, Maweni called to explain why she took off.

“She asked me to put the phone on loudspeaker before revealing that the dowry ‘theft’ was a plan she had hatched with the son-in-law before the ceremony,” Ms Meilu said.

Maweni said that they switched the bag containing money with one that had wrappers.

“Yes, we counted the money together but we exchanged the bag containing money with that holding wrappers because the elders are not deserving of any gains from my daughter,” Anne Maweni said on phone.

It also emerged that it was the son-in-law who left the ceremony with the bride price.

Maweni defended her actions, recalling how her kinsmen abandoned her when her husband died, leaving her with two children, a five-year-old girl, and a two-year-old boy.

“After the demise of my husband, you sent me away with nothing but my daughter. You took my son away, and he later died in your hands. Then, you said that the community had no use for a girl child,” she told the elders on phone.

I have left you with female wrappers to wear since you did not stand for a widow, at her time of need,” she said.

Ms Maweni, however, promised to send part of the dowry money to only one elder for his support during her tribulations and also standing in for her daughter’s marriage ceremony.

“Mzee Bajila, you are like a father to me and witnessed the atrocities against me. You fought for me in vain. So only you, deserve a portion of this money,” she said and hung up.

3-year-old girl dies after her mum absconded with N3million donated for her brain surgery

A lady identified as Nymart Jamal, shared the story on her Facebook page. She narrated how the donor refused to pay the money to the NGO’S account due to undisclosed reasons, but preferred depositing it into the account of the sick child’s mother.

Unfortunately, the mother ran away after receiving the N3m meant for her daughter’s brain surgery, leaving the poor girl to the cold hands of death.

Read the write-up;

Last month we had a case of a 3yr old girl with a brain tumor who needed N3m for surgery. A donor insisted on paying the money to the account of the mother, stating that he’s not comfortable with NGOs.

We initially wanted him to pay directly to the hospital, but that was not possible because 80% of the medical materials needed for the surgery has to be bought outside the hospital.

Eventually, the donor credited the mother’s account, and the mother absconded with the N3m. Sadly, the child died this morning. Rest In Peace Ada”.

A Young Man Order People To Beat Up His Mother Whenever They See Her At A Funeral

Mothers are special, their love and care can never be matched. But what will make a young man ask people to beat up his mother whenever they see her at any funeral?

A young man posted on Twitter recently telling people to normalize beating his mum anytime they see her at funerals. Reading the tweet at first, one will think bad of the young man. But going under the tweet, almost all the 500 plus people commenting are also submitting their mothers to the same fate. You will get to know why later. But first, check out the tweet in question:

“Please Normalize beating this woman up when you see her at funerals!

Don’t worry she’s my mom and I give you that permission”.

Strange right? Well, after I got over my initial shock and anger. I started reading through the comment to understand why he would say a thing like that. I discovered that it was just a playful way of saying his mum attends funeral a whole lot.

Well, for me, I don’t see anything wrong in attending funerals. After all, we all will die some day and people will also attend too.

But when it becomes too much, what can you do? When is it too much even? Please kindly share your experience about this topic. Do you have the same issue with your mother or a family member?
