| The girl carrying the phone she allegedly stole |
The girl was stripped naked, kicked to the ground, they were mostly guys surrounding her, touching her, some slapped her buttocks...someone tried to put his finger in her vagina...you know, just dehumanizing stuff..all because she allegedly stole a blackberry phone. You can see her face clearly in the video so I won't bother you all with the video so I don't spoil your Monday afternoon...but it's such a sad thing to watch.
I don't know how some people can be so callous. What's wrong with us? Where's our conscience? If someone steals, abi you call the police, get them arrested. Why strip her naked, take pictures, film it and just strip her of her dignity.
I know some of you will go looking for the video...good luck finding it...:-)

Seen the video already...the babe set.
jungle justice Baby dats what its called. serves some poeple right! if we could just obey the ten commandments,all will be right!
lord have mercy on them.
abeg na niger police we go tell?? them sef na go take de phone with their corrupt lifestyle..i no go gree with wat they did but make una learn her lesson
Linda, what exactly were you doing when you saw the video? You always see such vile videos and pictures. O di egwu o! Meanwhile, I think I like you Linda. You have a curious mind like me, and you don't pretend. I'll like to meet you.
Those guyz are stupid for that........this is too extreme!!
Nigeria is coming 2an end that is all about.
Very bad...........Bcos of a fuckin phone??????????What is all this bullshit about a BlackBerry in Nigeria????
OMG!!!!
This is absolutely wrong! If she stole, it's bad enough that she is beaten or rough-handled but stripping her? That is abuse plain and simple and her attackers/abusers/accusers/or whatever they want to call themselves and the person who posted the video online should be arrested. It is as though this is the new fad now. The other day, 2 females in Ondo State were given the same treatment. Linda, please report this to the authorities or those women's rights NGOs. This is wrong.
My attention was brought to the video but I could not watch it. Haba!! Disgusted in an understatement
This is just so sad. It goes to show the wickedness in the heart of the average Nigerian.....am just speechless..
price of bb= -pride&integrity
price of Brazilian hair=???
(*hugging my 3310 Nokia phone*no bb is worth it)
Very pathetic. Those dudes were probably sex starved. Very wrong of them to do that to her really. Whatever happened to handling criminals to the police. God help this girl. Hope it serves as a lesson to others.
eya, how callous will people be
Actually, this is really dehumanising. When are we going to learn that taking the laws into our hands will not pay. Agreed, d girl did a bad thing, bt to strip her naked is callous.
This is really dehumanising. Agreed the lady did a bad thing, bt striping her naked is really uncalled for.
its really a pity with d way pple take laws into their hands these days.This bb wahala sef...not worth d trouble.
We live in a LAWLESS society. The people at the top do whatever they like and we in turn act like animals like we weren't raised knowing better. In a lawful society, it wouldn't be a mob event if she were caught stealing. She'd be turned over to law enforcement and be prosecuted.
Don't see anything "dehumanizing & callous" here. why wouldn't people be contented with what they have? it serves her right!
honestly a lot of Nigerian boys need to learn manners and whole lot of other things to go with that, to think that some of the boys who participated in humiliating that girl have girlfriends, sisters, mothers etc.. its such a shame, what differentiates their barbaric behaviour and her crime? and who made them the law?
Btw I saw the video on facebook, facebook for God's sake and some idiots liked it smh....
Haa the Punishment to over shadow the crime now abi?
If were a guy they would have beaten him to death for a lady she will be stripped naked. which of the two is better?
don*
Exodus 20:15....thou shall not steal.
yes, make una insult me say i quote bible. The repercussion of one lil' sin goes a long way.
#teampreach
i saw this video some days back and though i do not support violence of jungle justice in any way and i do feel the people who did this are callous and inhuman but she asked for it. in many african countries, the police are inaccessible so people tend to take the laws into their hands which is wrong but she knew that didnt she? Linda you talk about it saying "common blackberry" the truth is that is there a standard for jungle justice? is a a code or a limit that dictates what punishment one gets as per the crime? do not remove blame from the silly petty thief. what they did to her was inhuman but she took her chances with stealing a "common blackberry" and while people get away with stealing billions and aeroplanes, unfortunately she didnt. if she had any shroud of dignity she wouldn't be stealing a common blackberry. she put herself in that position knowing fully well that the she may or may not be caught and she choose to still go for it.
I'd seen the video and there's just one phrase to describe it.. 'Utter wickedness.' For God's sakes why would any man treat a 'lady' in such a dehumanizing way?? They should have handed her over to the Police rather than meting such callous treatment on her. Well, God is seeing us all Sll, and He will reward eah of us according to our way....
It seems to me like all these Naija guys have been starved of sex and now they are all looking for the easiest way to gerrit.
Hence all these rapings and strippings.
God will help us sha
Can i just say.. this is old stuff. this stuff has been happening for time. so why are people saying Nigeria is coming to an end? something thats been on for years..
also can i just say. i do not support the boys at all.. but abeg naija people should stop stealing already. they know they will get burnt or humiliated in public if caught.. so why bother? is it really worth it?
Ping me joor..21C4D9D8
you uys should shut up juh she stole so what? dont you all commit fornication like two wrongs cannot make a right! in sight of God both are grievious sins! dont let the love for material possessions blind ur sense of judgement!
while i don't support what was done to the girl as it is an over kill let us not lose sight of the fact that SHE STOLE!!!
if it was a guy in same situation,he would be lucky to be stripped naked only,he will most likely be burnt or beaten to death.
rather than curse the people who did this to her we should blame the nigerian police who by their actions have let us lose faith in them and their abilities.
if the people believed the nigerian police will not collect a bribe in cash or in kind and free the girl then they would have handed her to the police.
having said that i roundly condemn the girl's treatment and i really do wish and hope the girl will use this as a warning and wake up call to desist from these kind of behaviour
Haba ! This is so unfair now,she is a lady,no matter d crime ......*hiss*
"It is saddonic and a case of bysmal-bismal. This is a state of calamity, anomy, macapadence and cuperbility."
Interpretation = Those sex starved boys used the phone stealing incident to satisfy their urges. This is wrong on so many levels. May the gud lord have mercy
those abusers and accuser, a they with a dent in their characters? well na only the person when them catch na him be thief, what about the government that steal the nation money every day? two wrongs doesn't make right, we they do dat to their sisters
I qaurelled with anyone of my friend that shared this video on his or her facebook wall.This is inhuman,just for a common blackberry she was humiliated.He without a sin should 1st cast the stone...Those idiots were putting there filty fhands in her p***y.Am not supporting her but those who did this to her are just fools looking for a way to see a girls nude and the girl was so unlucky.If we check well you will see that most of those idiots will have erection.As for girls and boys this ll sound as a warning.Please boys and girls after making love with a girl make sure you wear your clothe to bed.Since the inception of blackberry and facebook,people do more harm to others.Snap and send nude pictures.
Jungle living
Jungle living
everyday is for tha thief but one day is for the owner. albeit, the treatment she was served was inapropriate, yet it was kinda deserved. she was just a scape goat. i pity her tho...
seen d video. they carried her up ans opened her legs! i hate naija. sorry
very sad news. Its heartless dehumanising someone in this form. Baby girl, sin no more. I will get you a nice BB phone.
I am against what was done to her, even when armed robbers are caught and they are being beaten i can't stand it, but the question here is why did she steal, knowing fully well that if caught , any thing would happen, the truth is she went looking for trouble and she got it.We all know that if it were in a foreign country she would just be handed over to a police, but in Nigeria it is jungle justice, she is lucky she was not killed, we hav animals amongst us. Also lets put gender aside cos the same thing would be done to a guy, actually worse.it is just to aviod situations like these.And talking of handing her over to the police, she might not be beaten, but i can assure u she would be raped.
Nigeria will never change. Backward ever, forward never! And with all the chuvinists in that country, it is no wonder women always get the short end of the stick. Very sickening. Would they have stripped a male thief naked too so we can see his penis and balls? Hypocrites!
I am not for humiliation but she learnt her lesson, although they should have never touched her body!
our dear country needs to be checked! why all these brutality towards women?!
Linda, Pls and Pls, Kindly trace this girl. I want to give her One Blackbury phone. I will send one of my sales girl to your office at Surulere to deliver the phone as soon as you get in contact with the girl. Big Thanks.
Baby Girl, there is always a time and season for everything. When it is your God ordained time, things would happen without struggles include being proud owner of BB TORCH.
The greatest mistake you can make is to get desperate over an issue like this one you have walked into. Such isn't a journey you embark on because other girls are doing it. My contribution now is to help you get a new phone. Next time, listen to the inner voice of God, He will surely point at the directions you should go and what to do so that you won't fall into temptations.
The real challenge before you "little girl" isn't the theft but the stigma and hate before your friends and potentials boy friend or husband. Are you the kind that places emphasis on material things? If yes, this is time to beg God for forgiveness.
You must have enduring qualities, like good character, being responsible, and above all, the fear of God before you can overcome all this mess you walked into.
Many a time, mistakes come from the wrong values we project in the beginning of our lives. Today many young girls are finding it increasingly difficult to get their brains busy with positive thinking.
Those who strip you naked have no conscience, some of them may have a sister like you. How will they feel if their own sister are being striped naked in the public? It's so sad and bad. For the fact some of them try to finger your private part has shown us the people behind the mask.
Either devil or whatever that lead you to this sin, only you and your family will suffer the heartaches due to lack of moral values.
Little girl, next time don't allow anybody, including your friends/devil push you into a situation you may end up regretting later in life. If you are the strong type whose system can get over shock easily, count yourself lucky. Otherwise you will end up very depressed, miserable and very bitter about life. That is more reasons I want to give you Nice phone so that you don't get depressed which may lead you into hating men.
Learn from this kind of mistakes and to know what to avoid next time. Please sin no more.
@ 2:42 PM
.....and whatever happens to "Thou Shalt not Judge"??
Dis one nah old gist aunty linda,I got this broadcast in dubai two months ago
This is not right... If dis guys r frustrated
Sexually dey shud in no right take it out on anybody no mata wat crime has been committed, let's face it, dis guys r not fit to live among humans
how anyone can think this is right is beyond me. I once went with someone to a mechanic's on the outskirts of lagos.
a guy there was boasting in my mom's ekiti dialect about how a girl came to his house. And after eating all the food he bought from an eatery, she wanted to go home. He said he was so mad that he told her that if she stepped out, he would shout and call her a thief and all the area boys would have their way with her. That she called his bluff and he shouted. People started coming out of their rooms, and started saying what did she steal. Without hearing story, somebody had already slapped her. He said immediately, she ran back into his room and he didn't release her until the following morning.
The men he was talking to at the mechanic's all applauded him and called him bad boy. I didn't let on that I could understand what they were saying.
What im trying to say is that you never know if she even really stole. And if stole? So that gives those men the right to finger her? A man that fingered her there will finger another woman that didn't steal if he had the chance to get away with it.
Two wrongs don't freaking make a right.
These days, a woman innocently sleeps with a man she believes is her boyfriend. Next thing, her nude pictures are being passed around to great humor. As it is being passed on, the subject changes to whore sleeping with guy for N1000 and it becomes believable.
Those guys committed a wicked act in the eyes of God regardless of whether the girl stole or not. Let's stop this mentality of jungle justice is good.
What else do expect of Lagosians. Only God can change our mentality
What they did to her was awful but she shld not hav stolen...wht u call ordinary bb phone is priceless to sum pple..
Am not so suprise abi no b naija ni..if person theif chain, them go burn am into arshes but the one way steal 10billion naire go stil dey laugh with efcc dey waka about..rubbish country..thank God i hate blackberry ( i could afford to buy as many as i want but i hate thing way too common like tatoo, pierce and bb) i pity the girl sha.
I don't think Nigeria is a safe country for girls and women to live in. I can never raise daughters in that country. It's really a shame. If we Nigerians don't stop our wickedness towards females, we will see what will happen to that country. Boko haram is just the tip of the iceberg.
I believe that most of those guys are armed robbers,because for someone to did this to is fellow sister, that means they are heartless, is uncalled for.they are criminals they do more than this lady.May the sin of the lady be upon them in jesus name.
Add me on my BB pin 312AD095 and follow me on twitter @iheduruc. You just might win d cash I am giving out.
The sad part is these men will be someone's husband and father to daughters one day, if they are not already. Makes you wonder if you really know the man u are dating or married to.
The people that did this should be persecuted for such barbarism
Where is the police here?
What is the Crime? She stole a phone, SO? Your law makers that have stolen Nigeria dry! Who stripped them?
Omg it's so sad to here all this news about naija girls. Like seriously that's some crazy shit to do to a fellow human being. Noone deserve to be treated that way. guess there's no moral values anymore!!!!
seen the vid already
SOME 'HUMAN' ARE JUST HEARTLESS .I JUST WONDER HOW THEY WILL FACE JESUS ON JUDGEMENT DAY
@November 14, 2011 6:27 PM, THANK YOU JOO.....HATE IT WHEN BLOODY HYPOCRITES PICK SOME PART OF THE BIBLE THAT SUITES THEM AND IGNORE THE REST.
u shouldn't do this to a woman.....at most even if u hit her, u dont strip her off her dignity and put in on the internet.Thanks to Technology. What's going on in the heads of nigerian men. If u feel too powerful, go and help us attack Boko Haram. Idle Men
When will ever get it right??because of a blackberry...Saw the video some couple of days back it was horrible and dehumanizing.. wept in my heart for my nation.Sex starved guys where trying everytn to open her up such guys won't be far from raping a girl if they had the opportunity..yes,she could av stolen but she is human she doesn't deserve such a treatment neita does anyone.some will even get burnt alive(jungle justice) for stealing..haaaaa.We blacks most especially Nigerians av a long way to go if we really what change to occur in our country...our mentality isnt just right such an act would neva apen in saner climes.Weep for my dear nation.
so inhuman
this has been a while back saw the video in sept and pic has been circulating bum
Good people great nation my foot! We're still a nation of barbarians and savages. We would like to think we have evolved, but truth be told we haven't. And our actions such as these are living proof that we are still not very civilized people. I am not putting down my nation. I am just being honest about where we are and the much needed work to take us to the place called there. This jungle justice mode is just too much to take. When law enforcement refuse to enforce the law or are biased inenforcement, people begin to take the laws into their hands and hand out "justice" as the deem fit.And that's what you see happening here. It's inhumane. This is sick! No lady deserves this sort of treatment.
This is totally crazy. I hate coming across stories like these. I hate this world! Do they have to go to the extent of fingering her? Gosh!!!
@6.27pm....All i do is preach dawg.
all those foolish politicians stealing billions n millions,fear no let them go block them,common BB n they stripped her off her dignity,lawless Nigeria.If i am that girl those people on the video i will sue them for damages n get them arrested........
Well... It is unfortunate but it is the law of the jungle. A visit to one of them GSM villages or any market at that in Nigeria will tell you the kind of people those traders are. They're unschooled and do not reason like you and me. Much as I feel for her, she asked for it. Next time, she should go to Park and Shop or the palms...
this is very bad
abeg what is the link to the video on youtube?
There's nothing wrong here... She know fully well the environment she's in, Why steal when u know u can even be burn alive??? She's lucky this didn't happen in the South or East, na to go bury her burnt body go remain... Don't get me wrong, I don't support Jungle Justice, but she should just go Thank God 4 her life that they didn't kill her. shameless girl
The problem of Nigeria is that we do not tell ourselves the truth. Since we started celebrating thieves and armed robbers, that's when things started going bad in this country. I could remember those days in the village when if anybody steals somebody's property, the villagers will strip the person naked and everybody will come and look at the person. This act reduced stealing drastically in those days because people were afraid of being stripped naked in the public. Assuming we can deploy this technique to those politicians stealing our money in Nigeria, other will e afraid of doing that. Let go back to our root.
SHAME ON ALL OF YOU THAT THINK IT IS JUSTICE WELL SERVED. MAYBE YOUR MOTHER OR SISTER DESRVES TO BE STRIPPED AND BE SEXUALLY HARASSED BY DIFFERENT SEX-STARVED ILLITERATES! CAN YOU SWEAR WITH YOUR LIFE THAT YOUR SISTER OR MOTHER, EVEN YOU HAVE NOT APPROPRIATED ANOTHER MAN'S PROPERTY??? THIS IS NOT JUNGLE JUSTICE. THIS IS AN EXCUSE TO EXPLOIT A YOUNG LADY'S BODY. IF THAT WAS NOT BAD ENOUGH, THE VIDEO IS NOW ON THE INTERNET FOR THE WORLD TO SEE. NOW TELL ME IF YOU WILL BE PROUD TO SEE YOUR MOTHER'S FACE IN THE VIDEO??? SHAME ON THOSE FOOLS INVOLVED IN IT AND SHAME ON ALL OF YOU WHO SAYS IT'S JUSTICE WELL SERVED.
@Annon November 15, 2011 11:25AM
If that was your mother, sister, daughter or other close family member that made a mistake of stealing and was treated like this young woman, would you still hold the same opinion? This barbaric attitude by Naija men towards females is why I will bring my licensed gun with me whenever I visit Nigeria. That way, if you scumbags try any rubbish, I will not hesitate to send you to the rusted gates of hell where you rightly belong!
Em Linda, seems this is becoming the norm... You don see this one? http://www.supershare.net/en/video/330801-88111892e6.html
So many perverts in the world today. Totally disgusted! Girls please watch the circle of peeps u hang with. If I steal(which I wld never do) from the set of guys I hang out with, they'll prolly buy me a phone and reprimand me finish. No need to destroy my life cos of a stupid material thing. Please be classy and hang with gentlemen!
Now, this woman committed a sin and went against the law but the gravity of her sin is not any more than the gravity of what these men did to her. I did not watch the video and I will not watch it but from the comments I read here, I can only imagine. A big SHAME to everyone who says this is right. I feel pain for this nation. Not just because of what was done to this lady but because people who are educated enough to write in impeccable English have the guts to say this is right. For those who quote the Ten Commandments, remember that the bible also says that thou shall not commit fornication, and adultery and thou shall not call the name of God in vain. Then should we all be sexually assaulted? No Human has the right to take the laws into his or her own hands, talk less of committing fornication in the name of meting out justice. They should have given her some strokes of the cane or something (even though they do not have the right to do that). Instead the used the opportunity to satisfy their barbaric cravings. This simple act might leave her mentally unstable for the rest of her life. That in itself is not correctional because it would not stop her from stealing. In fact, it might make her a greater threat to our society. The bigger shame is that most of those who believe this is right are so stuck in their ways that they will not read any other comments on this blog and learn how to think. I am sick of this nonsense. If the legal system doesn’t work, then jungle justice must prevail? In my opinion, there is not difference between the girl that stole, the men that sexually assaulted her, the police system that does not work and the govt that rapes us everyday. I am fed up!!!!!! ....In fact, Linda these stories just ruin my day. I should have gone to bed instead of reading your blog.
hmmnn, evri boils dwn 2 d craze 4 bb, n d nid 2 belong, swt low self esteem caused dis 4..why didnt u go 2 steal bb if u cnt afford it bounce.mst u go dt far plus her punishers are mean, he who has no sin shud cast d first stone
father have mercy on us, things are really getting out of hand dis days
anybody figured out what happened to the girl when the filming stopped?
Its impossible to think that she would have walked away without further violation...
Really sad,
NAWAOO. HAVE WE ASKED OURSELVES SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS? WHAT WOULD LIZARD BE LOOKING FOR IN A HOUSE WHERE THERE IS NO ANT-INFESTED FIREWOOD? IS IT POSSIBLE FOR LIZARD TO PENETRATE A WALL WITHOUT A CRACK? CERTAINLY NOT. WE ASK AGAIN - IS IT HOW ALL FEMALES ARE BEING HARRASSED ON THE STREETS? CERTAINLY NOT. THE LADY (VICTIM) CALLED FOR IT. CALL IT JUNGLE JUSICE OR WHATEVER, THE TRUTH REMAINS THAT SHE GOT WHAT SHE WANTED IN HER DESPERATE MOVE TO OWN A BLACKBERRY. WE SHOULD LEARN LESSONS ACCORDINGLY.
This is crazy! What is happening with Nigeria Youth?
JAMB/UTME 2012/2013 form, registration, Guidelines, and instructions
Linda, there are reports that this happened in Ghana to a Ghanian girl and her assailants are Ghanian too. Please correct this. I am tired of everything evil being given a Nigerian headline.
Having said that, this kind of thing does happen in Nigeria. It's just that this video was recorded in Ghana. Thanks.
The problem is dat their is no strict application of our constitution. No man has de rite to torture,dehumanize and total disgrace 2 our holy temple. I totally comdemn dis act and call 4 the re-orientation of our young youths.
