Sounds like a scene from the holocaust movie, The Pianist. But just in case it's real, please read and advice.
I am 19years old. My parents and I were based in the north but
recently we just moved to our village in Owerri due to the destruction
of our house and properties in Yobe state.
In 2013, there was an attack in our area by BokoHharam. So many
people were killed so we had to hide somewhere for our safety and we
were 3 kids, my parents and our last child who was 6month old. While
hiding, the Boko Haram gun men were aproaching us. Hearing the sound of
their guns, our 6month old baby started crying and the men were not
far from us.
So, my dad needed to save us and he strangled the baby to death. Now the
five of us are alive and healthy but staying in the village. My mum is
yet to get over the fact that our baby was killed to save us all, she
keeps blaming my dad for killing her child. Now, she wants a
divorce. Please I will like to know, did my dad do anything wrong by killing the baby to save us?

Yes he did and no he dint... he dint have a choice cos if the bh people saw you guys dat dat, all of you would have been dead by now even with the baby... i know it might be hard for your mum but she should try and get over it and not blame your dad.
This is deep!
Only God can answer this
He could have covered the baby's mouth only,that will stifle any noise. It is a very sad and unfortunate incident, May we not find ourselves in such situations
If I can give my life to save my blood only d baby can b angry or pleased or God.
Wht happened to covering d baby's mouth, story nai u dey find
Very very wrong ur dad no go fit close d pikin mouth, or ur mum quick bring breast comout put 4 d pikin mouth?pattluvz
Yes he did, he could have just covered d baby's mouth instead of strangling d poor oblivious child
Speechless....he really did a very bad tin
I can't say I know what went on in that bush;the terror,the decisions made quickly,the horror of killing one's own child,the relief at safety...may the soul of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace!
Dear, what your dad did was done in the wrong way. He should have simply placed his hand over the baby's mouth, that way the baby's voice won't be heard.
As for divorce, your mum needs to know that your dad sacrificed his baby to save his family. He did what he thought is best.
Wish you the best
That was a really tough decision he took. But did he try to cover the baby's mouth tightly 1st 2 mute his screams b4 going 4 d tougher choice of strangling?
Cos honestly I feel ur mums' pain,9mnths of carrying that weight around,having 2 sleep in a particular position all the time,going through painful labour,breastfeeding that blessing for 6mnths wasn't an easy or pretty task.
However I pray she bears with ur dad cos uneasy lies the head that always has 2 make the decisions! May God help your family and see you through this tough time!

oh! my GOD speachless..this tough but ur mother should forgive him after all she should have stop him from strangle the babe.

Hmm! Maybe
Wat he did was wrong bt also necessary..wuldav also don desame fin if it was i
Lord 've mercy on us. My dear girl I can't really say if wat ur dad did was good or bad coz there 're million ways to look @ issues n pples view differs. One thing I can say is if ur mom blames ur dad 4 wat happened n wants to leave, ur dad should give her some space. Maybe when is alone 4 a while she may come to terms wit wat happened n see reasons wit ur dad. Pls note, ur dad really need u guys right now both mentally/psychologically coz he may be going thru emotional battle with himself. May d Almighty help mend/ heal ur family.....SWEET ANONYMOUS.
You could have all been dead today, were it not for that singular act. Please leave him (your father) to his God for judgement...but if you must judge him yourself, wait till you find yourself in such a position.
Woe unto you, Boko Haram, for making a man to murder his own child.

Lind me tire for u to post comment we go beg u again nawaoooo.
Warn your mother to stop what is about to do you father did that just to save your lives, what if the boko haram killed every 1what would she say. Tell her to rethink
Look at it like this: if your dad had not done that your mum won't be there asking for divorce and you will not be writing on Linda's blog either right now. Your dad is suffering as well and will have to deal with God and his conscience. It'll be hard but you all have to forgive him and go to God as a whole family to seek His forgives and cleansing. Your dad acted out of love though his choices weren't much. Take care.
wow!!!!!!!! this is a hard nut to crack, but in any case or whatever the reason may be is a sin in the sight of GOd to take a life
It is a painful story. i don't even know what to say. It is not right to kill d baby. Ha! they would have cover d baby's mouth. ka!!! i can feel ur pain. Your mother have no right to divorce her hubby. She would have come out to save her family too. So sorry.
i know how your mum feel right now, if divorce will make her happy again so be it.
This one tire person my dear sorry for that, anyway me can't say anything , this one strong pass me,your father self get mindoooo.
Oh yes he did. Your mother could have quickly unstrapped her bra to breast feed him. Or better still put a cloth in his mouth. Ur da is wicked. No woman, I repeat no woman who loves her child will accept that. Do you know what it is to carry a pregnancy for NINE MONTHS???? And then that same baby will be killed right in front of you, than no other person than your own husband. If the boko haram members had killed your baby, your mother would have preferred that. Even though it would have been painful, trust me she would have preferred it.
Honestly this is traumatising I can only relate this story to what my mum told me about Biafra war when her lil bro who was five months old kept on crying and people advised her parent to throw away the evil child to avoid bringining Hausa men to the hide out, in my opinion I would have closed the baby"s mouth if the baby die out of that I can bear but I won't strangle my baby, also I won't sacrifice my other children and wife cos of the Baby cry. As a man he did the right thing but he needs to cleans the action by going on hunger strike and ask chukwualbiama for forgiveness and pay the ultimate price let your mum go and hold the house, my personal prayer as Rebbie to your family enternal king of kings the holy one benevolent are you chukwualbiama Onye obi ebere the merciful one. Your children are in difficult time and I ask that you show your mercy and explain this horrible situation in a better way to this family that they may remember a sinless child paid the ultimate price for their safety unit and console the mother and give the man the heart to live on chukwualbiama this I ask amen
d sacrifice ur dad made is d reason u guys re alive today,so u shldnt put d blame on him.
He did wat he had 2 do to save the rest of d family an if she wants 2 leave bcos of dat she should leave peacefully or would she have prefer the hole family dead???????
Its sad.. Buh smefing had 2 gv 4 dem 2 survive.. Sadly it was d baby dt had 2 b sacrificed.. Really Really sad.. Am sure it was painful 4 him as well cos no parent wld want 2 loose a child especially having 2 take a child's life.. Her mother has 2 understand y it has 2 b done.. Wld she ve preferred if all of them had perished 2 those heartless fools???
Haba! He shld have use his cloth to stuff his mouth.
Ur dad didn't do anytin wrong my dear he did what he has to do as a man nd save u all.
SO SAD
OMG..kant say yes kant say no
I don't even know what to say. This is the worst position any parent could posisibly be in. Even the father self will never forgive himself. May God grant ur family peace and wisdom because this one pass wetin pesin fit advise on.
Quite a pity. No man would want to take the life of his own child. Very sad in its entirely. Your mother isn't to blame also.. She needs an outlet. I cannot say anyone is right or wrong. But every member of your family must stay strong and together, possibly get proper counseling; not from deceptive churches pls
In αѕ much αѕ it sounds weird, your mom should get over it and stick to her marriage. Or get preggo or adopt. Its a sacrifice to save the rest of your family.
Chimo oo! dis is serious o.
if only dat baby didnt cry,my dear i dnt envy u @all bt i wont totally blame ur Dad cos maybe by now if nt 4dat decision& action his whole linage would hav been history including the woman seeking 4 divorce, yes o cos it takes a living soul to seek 4divorce just incase ur mum has 4gotten dat.
Your dad is really a brave man,and your mum should get over it is not easy though but that is the best thing to do if not all of you would have been dead by now
Why didn't he cover the babies mouth, instead of strangling.
It is quite unfortunate, I don't know what 2 say bt I will not like 2 be in ur dad's shoes. He was between d devil and blue sea. It is also hard 4 ur mum bt divorce is also harsh. Morally, ur dad committed murder bt am not God 2 judge knowing fully the condition that led 2 it. In fact, am confused!
Hmmmmmm,he shuld close his mouth nah,kai!!!!but assumin ur dad did not kill dat baby,u all would av died by now... dis 1 is hard oooo
This is really sad. Your dad was put in a position to make a decision no parent should have to make. Unfortunately if the gun men had found you guys because of the cry of the baby, you will not be here today tying and posting this letter.
Talk to your mother to try and get over this. You guys have been through so much and need to stick together.
She also has to consider what your father is going through. The fact that he had to kill his own baby will hunt him for the rest of his life. He needs her. You all need each other. God bless.
Oh no,dis issue is complicated,am short of words
First of all, your dad should seek forgiveness from God. .murder is a sin.Jesus already died to save us why make an innocent child die to save all of you again?? I wouldn't blame your mother cos a mother is always ready to give her own life for a child not the other way round.your dad was just selfish. well God is still merciful.you should pray for your mum cos it's a difficult time for her
This is really sad but your mom needs to see a doctor to get over it....your child been strangled to death in your presence is really a big deal. Your mom needs counseling and even your dad too, their marriage shouldn't end over this though it's a very sad thing to happen to a family.,.your mom would get over it with God by her side and a very good counsellor.
That is wisdom. Killing one to save others. If your mum would have been dead, she won't be talking about divorce. You can hardly satisfy women.
Please thank God for being alive. Surely there is always sacrifice for everything.
Awww what a sad story buh believe me the man did the right thing,if he dint do that all of u would have been dead by now ..so please don't blame ur dad..may the soul of the baby rest In perfect peace!!
D is d devil n d deep blue sea. Speechless!
Wow......... Y didn't he just cover the babies mouth or something else? I really can't b a judge cos it was most likely a life and death situation. Sorry abt ur loss @least ur mum is still alive to b able to ask 4 a divorce
Well murder na murder. Your mother should also be blamed for the incident because BH has been in the North since 4years ago, and I think a wise woman should have advised or should have left with her family before now. But think of it. If your dad did not take such decision, what do you think would have happened?. Do you think all of you would have been alive including your mother today? I understand how a mother would feel in remembrance of such incident. But my dear tell your mother that devoice would never bring her child back to life and I think its never a good decision especially for the rest of u that are alive.
no he didnt, he did the right thing....
Wateva has apnd has apnd.. jus move on.. I knw its nt evn easy for ur dad too. Forget d past nd advice ur mum nt to push 2ru wiv divorce
Anybody in his shoes would have done the same thing..he is such a smart fellow to come up with such an idea..so many of us would be blank in that circumstance...I love him for that
I don't think this is real because when d baby was cry d mother can simply breast feed d baby or cover d baby's mouth, as for ur mother, she don't need divoice but. Pray to God to take it out of her mind. Rachel

WELL, I REALLY DO NOT HAVE A LOT TO SAY. THE MAN WANTED TO SAVED THE FAMILY INSTEAD OF LOOSING ALL OF THEM. BUT, THE WOMAN SHOULD CHILL AND ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS FOR THE HUSBAND. IT WAS JUST FOR HER, CHILDREN AND HUSBAND.
Let her find a place in her heart to forgive him because all of you would have been gone if such extreme measures was not carried out by the man
Typically i will not say anything regarding issues like this but looking at how complex it is, it is important you guys let God have His way. Without your dad's action, all of you probably will not be alive today but again could have survived regardless of your late sibling's cries. Your dad saw the situation as a lose lose situation and he chose to lose small rather than lose big. We all cannot think alike and i dont blame your mum for holding him responsible. However, your father committed one murder to save 5 lives. I dont know whether you should blame him or not but will your mum have done differently?? Maybe yes, maybe no. Did your dad do a noble thing?? To some yes and some NO. If you are a person of faith, I think you should seek your faith and pray for God's guidance and your father's forgiveness cos if you ask me, that divine intervention is all your family requires. SELAH
Crying
Your dad did nothing wrong and your mum should not use that as am excuse to seek for divorce.
For only God can judge your dad and He is a merciful God and full of compassion.
First of all, this is a horrific, terrifying and sad story(I cried, and couldn't reconcile the pain you must have been going through as a family). I think I would have stuffed the baby's mouth with a cloth, by trying to stop her from crying, rather than strangle. I am truly sorry it happened, it just goes a long way to express the kind of pains and troubles our fellow brothers and sisters have/ and are passing through because of boko haram. Lets all make this insurgence and terrorism our prayer points everyday. Until the GOD of vengeance arises.
I think your mom should forgive and try hard to forget, it isn't really easy being a mother,.
This is really difficult....but he did what he had to do....i dnt blame him atal. he killed 1 to save 5....i pray God heals all your hearts at this tym
Your mum is very insensitive. Put yourself in your daddy's shoes.I'm not saying he was right to kill the infant but if he knew of a way to save you all as at the time, he'd have taken the chance. Imagine how difficult it was for him to do that? I'm sure he's not pleased with himself but life must go on...
He did d right tin now, sha ur mama wan die
That is absurd but Thank God you are all saved. In my own opinion, he had to do what he had to do.
Wazabee
WOW!!! This is a tough one, i have never and pray never to be in your family's situation. When in that kind of situation all sorts of spontaneous things happen. Chai!this is sad. i would have preferred your dad stuffed the 6mth old's mouth with a cloth. The time he took to kill that baby would have been enough time to stuff the baby's mouth with a cloth and run with the rest of you. Can i ask where your mum was when he was killing the baby? if she was there and watched it happen am sorry she has no right shouting wolf today, she would have fought for her baby grabbed the baby and ran... so so sad. This country unfortunately has no seasoned professional therapists you mum and dad need to go through therapy to get over this.
This is really complicated, in d sight of God/human is not right but lookin at it ordinarily he took a smart decision bcos if he didn't by now all of u even ur mum won't be alive 2 cry 4 her baby, was not easy 4 him 2 do that but u knw men has a way of hiding thr pain, ur mum need to undstnd, 4give him and let go.
Its a terrible thing for a father to kill his own child but under the circumstance described above, your father did what most men would not be able to do. He kept you all alive!!...if you all perished in the boko haram attack, then it is finished. Your mum won't be filing for divorce, u won't be hoping for a better future, no hope of a better tomorrow, it all just ends. So tell ur mum to cut ur dad some slack. The people to blame are the blood thirsty insurgents (boko haram) that brought this upon your family
Hard one
yes he did wrong. your Mom should have just put her breast in the baby's mouth and the baby wont cry nomore. I suspect dat ur father
Soooooooo wrong!
Haha can't ur mum breastfeed the baby while crying well I can only imagine d frustration, all of u need to pray and ask God 4 forgiveness. Nd ur mum need to forgive ur dad.
OMG I cried reading this! So sad.
I think what he did was the best to save whole family.
OMG I cried reading this! So sad.
This one na aptitude test lelelemo water don pass gari my dear if ur papa no do dat all of go die so ur moda shuld take hrt she can still hav anoda baby in place of dat one make she no live her husband I understand how she feel biko talk to her
it was a clear case of "principle of double effect" in philosophy but i think it was a bad decision to take ones life. God is the giver of life and could have remedied the situation if He wanted but then yet again we are in a realist world and not ideal where we assume. so i would say let God judge in the end.
Ds is serious, but dnt have to blame d man becus he was helpless
Haba na! he shouldn't have strangled his own child na...... there are so many ways to kill a rat.he should av found a way to cover his mouth wf sometn..........am sure the woman cant jst get the scene off her mind. she needs counseling.
u guys shuld even idolise ur father!..dey can always make more babies. Am sure at dat paticular juncture staying alive was paramount n he mosdef wouldn't have wished to take his own kid's life. u guys shuld let dat be in d past n move on biko if not u for de alive to de ask LIB jamb qtns?
This is super story......
Oh my goodness..... Your mother should know it was a hard decision for him too what if bh meet u there as a result of the baby's noise n kill everybody would she blame anybody n its obvious if the man had another option to save the family he would take it but none at that moment ....he did what he had to do just to save the family
Ur dad did d best tyn else u won't b reading dis comment nw
So touching..right now am confuse dont even know what to say..If he is guilty or not
Actually killing a human being is wrong but with the situation at hand many would have done the same thing ur father did. Tell ur mother not to go.
There re other options ur dad could hav applied. At least closin or pressing d mouth of d child wud hav helped. How did he feel wen strangling d neck of his own child.. gosh!!! So sad anyways
He sure has a case of murder to answer for.
Report to the authorities and let them tel u if he did wrong or not.
*sips brukutu
FoxZulu out.
Keep this question to ur self pls -------- The Moon !
Wow...this is sad. Sometimes we are faced with very tough situations that require us to make quick and instanteneous judgement and decision in few seconds.
If this story is totally true, and the events happened just as it is stated here, then I should say by my judgement he didnt do wrong altogether.
One dead instead of six. he killed his child with his hands...damn it. that is murder but I can justify his action because the 5 were saved by that single action.
The man was BRAVE. Thats the word.
Even in medical conditions where pregnancy or a baby poses a condition that threatens the life of the mother, we place the life of mother as a priority. We save the mother and loose the baby.
Its really a difficult one. I guess God will be the Judge on this one. He alone can console the berieved . it was done in good Faith and they both own the kids. If they had lost more than that to those cruel people , it would have been a different case enteirly. I feel for them. They should meet a pastor for counselling
O chim!
Somehow , he did the right thing, but your mum needs a psychologist to clear her mind.. she's suffering from the trauma, after effect of what happened.
speechless
Nt rily bad ur dad do dis to sev u pples lyf u ar old enof to calm ur mom down , ur dad dnt wnt u pples to dy @ same tym
Speechless
Hmmmm dis is a terrified story. Ur mum shld find it in her hrt to 4give ur dad since he did for d safety of all of Ɣ☺u. War comes wit dishrtnen,violence,ugly,killngs... Ɣ☺u just name dem so t heir is human n to 4giv is divine.
Humanly speaking, ur dad did wht he had 2 do 2 save u guys. Let God judge him cos He is d right judge. As to ur mum, she's so selfish to tink of herself alone not considering wht d poor man might be going thru cos I knw he would not be hapi with wht he did, he might not jst say it. OBA
I think ur dad did the right thing. Its takes a courageous mind to do that,thought its hurting bt u were saved and ur mom can still have another child. Encourage her to also see d opposite if u all were all killed. Mariah.
Oh my God, he cld av Jst maybe stuff sumtin in baby's mouth
He should av left d baby dat tym and maybe she can tell me if she will be alive today to want to file for a divorce.
The fact that he chose the life of someone else to save his own and you think he did it for all of you is insane, no matter how old, every life is precious. If one of you others had pissed him of that day, he would have probably found a way to dispose of any of you too. Let's be frank, a father would defend the lives of all his children at the expense of his. He's no hero, boko haram did not kill that baby, your father did. He gambled on the child's life without even knowing if it was in fact in danger.
This is the wickedness of people who love blood, and you even asking this question is tantamount to you being potentially as damaged. You better report your father to the authorities, you have a murderer as a father, you can never be happy.
Chai, I dnt blame d man.
Yes he did cos he didn't have to kill he, you can just hold his mouth without killing him
Hmmmmmm! That's a serious one, I am dumbfounded, if we go by religion it's a sin but then what would have happened if he didn't silence the baby, am not gonna justify his actions cos it's wrong and am not gonna support him either . Speechless
Pls what he did is very very wrong Imagine strangling a helpless baby. So painful a death. This got me almost crying.
Cant he forcefully close the baby's mouth with his palm.
Or even put a piece of cloth in the baby's mouth.
In short what he did is evil. I cant even imagine it & believe me, i understand what your mum is going tru now BUT my question is what did your mum do wen all these was going on? Couldnt she have snatched her baby away & device another means of shutting him up?
Mehn.. not to make you feel bad o but your dad could've found a way to quiet the baby without killing him/her. Me thinks he just did it to relieve himself of some responsibility.
Would she had preferred the bokoharam to eliminate the entire family
Hmmmmmm!...if u ask me,na who i go ask?...well; dr's no difference btwn ur dad n d Boko Bois! *straightFace#
~noraFab
Linda dis stoy will only create more hate in Nigerians ooo, abeg
This is quite traumatic and haunting to the whole family and will tend to live with them for the rest of their lives.
Wicked man!!!!!! Why didn't he just close d baby's mouth. Maybe it was a mistake. I am not the mother but I am already dying with guilt. This is painful.
He has just committed murder.he shouldnt have killed d babe,it is GOD that save live.if they still have days,months,yrs 2 pend in ds world surely the God would have saved them.
Your Dad is a brave man. You should admire him
The was a brave decision.
I believe that he did what he has to do under the circumstance, I will never put a blame on him.. if he didn't do that all of you including your mom.. might have gotten a mass funeral..
D guy(obviously)'s dad watched d movie back ² u " advice 4 u.ur dad saved ur mom nd u guys' life so tell ur mom to suck it up nd deal wit it
My dear,
I felt a pain in my heart when reading this. So sad. I don't know how he was able to do that but you have to understand that he was trying to save his family in the way he thought was best at the moment. Believe me it will haunt him for the rest off his life. don't make it worse for him.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I don't think it's ur dad's fault ..... He did what he had to. BH are heartless, if they found u guys, y'all wd be dead plus d baby. So I don't think ur dad was left with much of a choice. He did what he had to
The story doesn't sound real but whatever be the case, your dad instead of losing 5 children, chose to lose only one. Though it might be difficult for your mum but she should try and understand.
This is quite sad but I cannot blame your dad for such action. He needed to act fast and I commend him for his swift reaction otherwise none of you will have the chance to see this day neither will your mum have the chance to file for a divorce.
Let her find a space in her heart to forgive him and appreciate a smart and great man who she's married to....
F.O.B.A
My dear, murder is murder you cannot change that fact.
Why did you left now when you would have avoided it by leaving the place before you were attacked.
However, am not God, lets leave the judgement to God.
I advice that the wife should not divorce because of this. Divorce will create more problems for all of you.
In that condition, anybody cud hav been soo tensed and scared!!! Buh what happened to closing d child's mouth or usin cloth over the mouth or somthin?! May God prepare a punishment worse than he'll for these Boko hagoat ppl...
Yes...Murder is Murder. You father should be in prison for what he did and your mother has every right to be angry with him.
Hnmmm what a story. Its not right to kill but I can't really blame him. I guess he shld av left things to God Almighty to handle.
I am sure there are other ways to keep a baby quiet than killing him/her...this is so wrong
What ur dad did is wrong ooo,
This is the first time "l b commenting on this blog, but this story really caught my attention.
I am very certain it wasnt the man's intention yo kill his own child(i believe the dead child is his too) but for the circumstance surrounding the family's survival.
All i can advise the wife is she should accept that ehat has happened has happened, i mean the child is already dead and there is nothing that she can ever do to bring him back. So, a divorce isnt the solution. What if she leaves him and he remarries, how sure is it that the new wife wont come in, maltreat the remaining children and if possible kill them.
I strogly recommend that she forgives her husband, forget the past and concentrate on taking care of her remaining children, so she doesnt loose out totally.
Thanks
Awww sad story, it was a difficult situation and no one deserves to die, he dint want your lives to be wasted and he did wat he felt was d best @ dat tym. Trust me, he'll feel more hurt than any of u.. Your mum should forgive and let go, and ur dad should ask God for forgiveness
Whats the essence of letting d baby crying wen y'all are gonna die,although to some people,wah ur dad did was wrong,buh come off it,he needed to save u guys and there's no other way he can do d@ without getting rid of the baby's cry.tell ur mum to let go,it could take sometime,buh she iƪƪ forget about the pain eventually.*btw*ur dad is a gud man,sensible and very protective*ps*dat lil baby u lost is resting in d lord's bosom so be of gud cheers* aunty linda post ♍ comment oooo*lol*
If this is real,he did everything wrong..
What stops him from using his hands to cover the mouth of the crying baby? What stopped your mom from putting breast in his mouth? Damn,one million and one ways to shut a baby and all he could do was strangle an innocent child... Your dad should be stoned to death.. Your mom better leave before he strangles her at night
Your father is so heartness and inhuman. Why must he strangle what he cannot create. He should av allowed ur mum to simply breastfeed him or rather use something to cover †ђξ kid's mouth carefully without suffocating him. OMG! Dis man is wicked. He doesn't know what it means to go through labour pains. May God forgive him and may †ђξ child RIP
Chei it's smhw but I tink he did dat 2 save u ppl but he wud hv looked 4 another solution Dan Killin d baby evn if it was tieing d baby's mouth
hmnm,wat a story .....
LIB kritik.
Dis one na WAEC question so o. I think u may ask d best WAEC candidate in Nigeria (Chukwuka Adekunle Ciroma)
OMG!
Its is hard to get over d death of our loved ones bt ur mum shld undstand dat staying alive to even complain was cos d child is dead so, blame d currupt politicians who gamble wit d lives their ppl to satisfy their useless urges. May he/she's soul rest in peace.
Xriscarlise ~via~sagem X1
No he's not to me but every mother will feel bad. He did d best thing at that moment to save even ur mum but am not against what he did at all.
Your dad did the right tin, let ur mum think twoice if ur dad did not do dat all of u ll would hv been history now.
He did a terrible thing that is beyond forgivable by God and man! An innocent 6months old baby! Jeez! A baby will definitely cry when in an uncomfortable situation, whatever happened to putting the baby on breast milk for the while the shoot out was going on, that would have made d baby calm and quiet for the duration. RIP to your innocent sibling.
Hmmm....tough one. I guess it was just his human instinct of survival that made him do what he did. Forgive him. I hope he forgives himself too.
Libers should find out how to submit their scripts to nollywood. Maybe they'll ever make a good money from them. Not d rubbish we r subjected to like by force
HE DID WRONG ,HE WOULD HAVE JUST HELD THE BABYS MOUTH THATS ALL INSTEAD OF STRANGULATING THE POOR BABY
Hmmm God said thou shall nt kill ur fellow man no matter wat... God knws d ryt answer 2 judge ur dad with... God go help us frm BH
BEAUTIFUL9JADELTABABE...hmmm na wah ohh wonders shall neva end,what kindof decision is dat, hmmmm justsayingmaownohh via ma LATEST TECHNO PHAMTOM A3+
yes he did...he will jxt tried 2 shot d child's mouth den kill d child oh...
Well who am I to judge. He would have covered the baby's mouth or left him on that spot alive. Your mum should learn to forgive is not intentional.
Honestly ur dad is hard,how could he common?strangle his own?why couldn't he hold his mouth bikonu?if ur dad had covered his mouth,trust me he would ve probably slept off.trust me,even though ur dad did it to save his other kids,if I were ur mum,I could never understand it and would probably never forgive him..Do u know wat it is to strangle someone,let alone ur own flesh and blood?in my 32 years I ve not been able to watch anyone kill a chicken talk less of me killing a chicken.tufiakwa...
My mum said you can't blame the woman.. it's a sad situation and no matter how you look at it, he took a life which is a sin. He did wrong. But your mother has to find a place in her heart to forgive..
Yes. he did wrong. he could have covered the baby's mouth to muffle the noise as long as possible. even one hour of covering the boy's mouth won"t have been too much.
Painful as it might look, i am happy that you guys are alive

Wowwwwwww........was that the best solution????? dis is so sad!!!
Probably he would have just closed d babies mouth with his hands instead of strangling....
Kaiiii.....Murder is Murder, it doesn't matter d circumstances.
D man is a natural killer 4 him to strangle a baby just like dat.oga oooo
Jesus! I dnt no wat to say cos am a mother n I knw hw ur mum is feeling bt I guess ur felt that was the only solution at that time bcos he didn't want to loose all of you.He needs to ask your mum for forgiveness n the baby too then God.feeling so sad abt it.
killin d baby was not d best way to save their lyf, God could huv dn His own. The mother should just bear it and stay wit her family. D did has been dn, she should just forget about it n trust God for another baby.
hmmmmmmmmm! advisers oya o! over to una.
cos thus one pass me!
Waoow !!! One of the most meaningful & challenging post i'v read so far..Your Dads decision was a hard one & hw came about such an option is mysterious as well;Bt make no mistake "A MAN GOT TO DO WHAT HE GOT TO DEFEND HIS FAMILY".I adore his courage sincerely.There's nothing better than what he's done.FORGET ur MUM; thats upto her bt you should stand by yur dad & proclaim to him for giving yu & sibblings a new opportunity to live....When yu both turn her actions down & ignore her.She wll square-up..
D man made a mistake by killing d baby he wld av given the baby 2 her mother 2 breastfeed in other 2 stop her frm crying bt all d same d deed as bn done ur mother shld 4give n 4get cos d man was under pressure den so he doesn't know wat 2 do under dat circumtance
Tough call. Very pathetic story.
ur father did the right thing.if i was in his shoes i would have done same.ur mother should please respect ur fathers bravery cos he acted like a man and not a sissy.thanks
I don't think so if nt 4 strangling the baby u all most av been a victim
Your Father is a Cold-blooded Murderer
Seriously may God forgive us all,I think d dad did d best tin......he can't possibly throw the child away n d mother will watch the baby cry,or get killed or taken away.and ow sure is the survival of a 6months old baby wit all dey will pass tru..d mother is just angry cos she gave birth to the child bt wot did father did was d best.
Your dad did notin wrong......he simply did d best, if he didn't do so, all six might have bin dead by now.....losing one to save five is just what every dad will choose
That was a brave act your dad did. rather than let all 6 die, one has to die, he paid d utmost price, all nid to do is apeace wth his spirit!
Omg! This is very tricky and tragic. I can understand why the woman is asking for a divorce though. She can never get over the trauma of what happened. But then the father took one life to save five. I bet he's hurting too, after all it was his child too.

Seriously, 4 your mum 2 blame your dad is really unfair.I can imagine wat your dad will b goin through.he saved y'all lives & u shud b grateful.
Zombie zoe u must be a killer too!
WOW. Desperate times calls for desperate measures. but i beleive dia would av been other life saving means to silence that child. maybe sealing his mouth with some strong binds.My dad told me stories of kids dat wia killed for same reasons during the civil war.
Bonario u too no get sense sef...........if he ha covered d baby's mouth or stuff it wit sumtin, wud de have heard d baby's cry? Linda infact dis story na wetin u make up to make us click! Mtchew! Very annoying!
Nnem I agree with you, but, they shouldn't divorce. The man should give her some space to deal with the loss of the child. No woman will lose a child tht way and not go insane..He should probably move outta the house for some time but still keep in touch.. It's sad, really sad!

This is not true
Just now I know some pple use to think with dia yansh, "he committed sin, he commited sin" Ơ̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴̴͡ pple wey dey talk, if ᶥᵗˢ u, u'll kill even ur mother join, if she wan complain at dat scenario
If your story is real then thank your dad everyday!
Zombie zoe u must be a killer too!
I would commend your dad for being a man, his indeed a real man, he has balls to take such a hard decision that saved you all. I am indeed proud of him. % je'%
Seek God
Very fake story. Couldn't he just have gagged
the baby instead? Or you're saying a six month
old baby is stronger than a full grown man.
Another thing is that no mother can stand by
and watch her child being killed, her own cries
sef na him go attract boko haram pass.
Wow. He could have just covered the baby's mouth. Well, the sad truth is there is no gray area in the Bible. Murder is murder.
Yesooo
your dad chose a lesser evil though he was too hasty to make such decision. Locking the baby's lips would've been better
I'm still to understand why someone would share such a story. It sounds so Nollyhoodish. But for benefit of doubt, I think the man took a very difficult decision, and though it hurts, the lives of the other family members were spared. Its understandable that the woman is going through a truamatic period, and blaming her husband is just her way of dealing with the pain. The man should be calm enough to comfort his wife. May God bless this family with a new baby. Amen.
just cover the baby mouth with your hands till you are save
it wont kill the baby.. the thought of not having the baby has always been on your father's mind.. he murdered the baby
Hmmm so much for swagg. Back to d matter, y didn't ur mum save d child for her husband and face d consequences with bh @least data wat parents are supposed to do for all of u to watch it happen u were all at fault on d oda hand though like d oda man said things happen for a reason mayb dats y d child was born, which mean you and d rest of ur family are alive for a reason also so u guys should Tk full advantage of ur time on earth.
This story is crap. Why? How come your dad had to strangle the baby just to keep him quiet. Any reasonable person in your dad's shoes would have covered the baby's mouth with his or her hand, no need for strangulation. Covering a baby's mouth firmly while leaving the nostrils uncovered would make it not to cry. So, I don't believe you. Strangulation will never come up as a solution in such circumstances to most people. Try harder next time.
so sad but ur fada is a murderer, he shuldnt av done dat, if I were him, I would have left the baby dere, if they find the baby and kill it, fine! if they dont and another family finds and trains it, gud. not using ma own hands to kill ma bundle of joy. no matter wat, thou shall not kill, except God will understand sey na bokoharam coz am
Speechless
Brave comment
really speechless....
Sharrrap! What do u know?
Like srzly? How wld she tink of breast @ dat time??? So she shd choke d baby wit mile abi?? *rme
Best comment so far! God bless u!
I don't condone killing of any sort but some people's comments on this issue depict how myopic and disconnected they are from the realities happening in the North. Someone said the baby was used for rituals? Lmao. That's too funny abeg. The person that came up with that knows something about rituals and prolly engages in it. Then those people suggesting that the baby could have been breastfed or gagged. .... like are y'all kidding me? Not every cry of a baby is stopped by breastfeeding. A baby's needs are different at everytime. Did it occur to anyone that the baby was obviously scared by all the chaos around and pacifying the baby would have been extremely difficult At that time?
I lived in Sierra Leone during the war in 1999. Nothing prepares you for the thought of death. Your instinct is always to save yourself somehow. That's the faith and thought you have at that moment. I don't think he killed her on purpose. The story is really sad and I actually believe it given that I have experienced worse scenarios. Pray that you never have to make this sort of decision. I hope the family can deal with it without falling apart.
I am sure u are very stupid and very dumb too!
U r a very sensless human being with an extremely low IQ! How does dis relate to rituals! U must be a ritualist...e sure me die! ode oponu oshi!
Linda God is watching u ooooo, I will skip tins I'm suppose to do just to comment no a write up n u won't publish it, is really annoying
