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?

Very Unreal story! D babe don watch too much yoruwood movies. If its actually real u wud knw ur dad did d worst. Oloshi!
Jesus, i can't imagine how u guys are feeling. But she need to understand, when one is between life and death, unexpectedly happen. May God give u guys the fortitude to bear the loss.
what your father did was wrong, what a pity he had to kill that innocent child for nothing. your father did the wrong thing.
Jeez men, he had to oh, imagine the pain he went thru to do it.... The. Story for no come out o if he didnt
Well thank God ur alive to ask that question,and I think u hav answered it urself!!
Are u for real. He strangled the baby. Won't the baby make more noise when you're strangling it.
bizarre!
Haba linda, where dis one for happen na? www.naijayabs.com
Lord... A six months old child... How horrible, i wunt blame ur dad,cos d baby wud hav died either way... It will tke a looong tym for ur mom to get over dis... Painful...
hnmmm. that was a brave move buh ion fink it was d best option at that. Rip to the infant.... His blood is on boko brothers not ur pops directly
My God!!! Your Father has no place in heaven. How can the woman ever forgive him? He killed her child, there's no excuse for such behaviour. He should have asked the mother to breastfeed or bottle feed the baby to make it stay quiet. There's no way she can continue living with the man. He was supposed to protect that baby not harm. This story is really upsetting.
Wow, very sad story, wouldn't not blame ur dad, but he stil got to be blamed and secondly how does ur dad want God to understand dat he killed a soul. Ur mother should try and understand, if ur dad had nt killed d baby, u all will be roasted alive by dose heartless bastards. Am so sorry abt ur last.
Linda ikeji pls stop this tragic made up stories.you're a typical nigerian who feeds off on people's misfortune and tragedy. I pity nigerians like you.
This is serious, even the best judges would find it somewhat difficult to deal with this.
Made me remember the story told by our priest who was almost killed during the Nigerian civil war under this same circumstance,but as he was being carried to be thrown away in the forest the people amcarrying him heard the news that the civil warbus over,that was how he survived and then grew up to be a priest.
I won't blame your dad coz had he not taken that action you all would av been dead by now. Your mum should try see reasons with him tho its not that easy.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
This story is fake, cldnt ur mother bring out her breast and put it in d baby's mouth to shot him up? Na so e easy to strangle ur child?
I smell lies
~~Success Has No Limitations~~
D man did the best thing i believe every man should have done well to ur mom you know how women do think she can never let go of it so i believe separation will be the best cause she can never forgive or forget about it #W.G#
This is difficult tough situation only God can intervene Every one is suffering now
It was a difficult situation. nd ur father felt dat was the best option. cant side him sha, but ur mum shudnt jst throw him away cos of dat. It all requires forgiveness....
he did the right thing in that situation,, your mom should understand that your dad took no pleasure in doing that since that move was the only one that kept u guys alive today.....get a therapist to see your mom,,,she will be fine wt time, decision to make, your dad is a brave man,..kester
This is a tough one I must say...it is never easy to kill ur child no mata wat but dat kid could hv endangered d life of every oda pesin..ur dad did wat he had to to protect the child but to me killin d child was too extreme..una for use sumtin cover the baby mouth @ least to help reduce it.on d oda hand if he hadn't u wouldn't even be alive to ask for advise here n ur mum wuld be in heaven by nw.so u guys shuld live with it..a scarifice was made to save the whole family...I dnt mind killing 1 if its going to save all.u might say wat an innocent baby .but christ died to save the world too..dat bby was born for a reason maybe this is it. «.

Oh M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣ god your daddy did wrong why killing the innocent baby why wuld him close the baby mouth at the first place after your mummy carried the baby Ƒσя gud nine months hey poor woman
Hmmmm ur mum would hv put breast in d baby's mouth, your father had to do wat he did to save other

Well in my opinion ur dad did d right thng. Am not trying 2 justify cruelty here but given d circumstances u guys found urselves in,he acted right. Ur mum shuld think twice
Like dis is supposd 2 b a true life story? Hmmm, am really confusd. But ur mum needs 2 understand that, ur dad did wat he did 2 safe all of u, its a pity that baby was used as a sacrificial lamb. Tel ur mum 2 remain in her matrimonial home o. D act 4rm ur dad was nt intentional.
Yes my dear he did it wrong, hw can he just killed d innocent child just lye dat if he did nt used it 4 rituals, he just use d bh 2 coverup evil man. Mtcheeeeew
i dnt blive this story jare, na publicity stunts, why not put breast in the baby's mouth, the baby will definitely keep quite.
Too bad #bright bravo#
He should have covered d baby's mouth not kill d baby.... Simple sense afteral a 6months old be won't be so strong. Na wa sha

Honestly I understand your mum and I also understand your Dad...they should resolve the matter amicably and she should remember that your Daddy did it for the love he has for all of you. Including the baby...its called self defence
He did the right thing, even God would forgive him

Well well well...
There is no wrong or right in war..
And your father acted to save the whole family, and if there was a less painful way to do that. He would have opted for that. Your mother is a hypocrite in my opinion. If your father didn't act. I don't think she will still be alive talking about getting a divorce today. Maybe in hell. It's painfully, and I'm sure your father is not proud of it. But desperate times calls for desperate measures.
»»»Heir to the throne of Zamunda«««
Your father is a murderer hoohaa! Wat happened to covering d baby's mouth wit his hands? Infact make he go join boko haram, de are all same! Am outta here! I de vex! Nonsense story! Woman go ahead wit d divorce!
Na wa for story, so he cldnt stuff a cloth into the child's mouth, or breast feed him? D deed has already been done sha.
Speechless! Dat's how dis makes me feel. From LIB visitor
Yes he did d unthinkable... my dear, there are ways to gag a baby's mouth and u won't hear a sound.. d baby may still choke slightly but definitely won't die... your dad may have just killed d Obama of your family.
Huum ur mom need deliverance
How touching, this's so sad can't really say if wht he did was right or wrong. But the utmost important thing is u guys are alive. If ur mom needs another baby, she shud get preggy again
Its nt ur dad's fault he ws jst being realistic...abeg tel ur mum to calm down jare,she cud jst get pregnant again nd give birth to anoda child....
Hmmm. Only God can judge dt. I am speechless
I dont do dis... but i believe dis linda too dey form story... smh
I dont do dis... but i believe dis linda too dey form story... smh
To me , he did wot he had 2 do, ur mom should get ova, anoda baby can alway come. *BEX*
THATS A TOUGH DECISION FOR ANY FATHER...IN MY OPINION HE HAD NO CHOICE. YOUR FAMILY IS WELL AND SAFE, YOUR MUM SHOULD UNDERSTAND. ALL OF UNA FOR DIE OOO...ITS WELL
Wow! War time brings a lot of Sh#t! You can never tell what it was like there. Some have killed and eaten a friend to survive. I wonder if he couldn't just cover the baby's mouth with cloth or something to muffle the sound. Nonetheless, doing the killing in front of his family has changed everything. Now its on Linda's blog. He has basically destroyed his family with that killing. Im truly sorry for him. Even if his family forgives him, he may not forgive himself. Thats sh#t! But then discussing the big secret here on Linda would heal them. To answer the question, (REALIST VERSION) NO, he did nothing wrong. It was war time and he did what he had to do to save his family. Husbands do it all the time during child delivery at the hospital. If there is a complication, they always want to save their wife and not the baby. (CHRISTIAN VERSION) Thou shall not kill. If he had faith in God, even if the boko fool came there, they wouldve still spared him or killed everybody but good or bad, you give glory to God.
VERDICT: Forgive him and support him. Leave God to do the judging. The Boko Fool couldve have done worse if they found you guys eg. kill all, rape all, ask brother to rape sister or mother, kidnap some etc you can never tell. Your father is already in a lot of pains and your mum should support him and not leave him.
Chai! This is so very touching, my dear,ur dad killed in the real sense,but that was to save u guys,your mum should try to understand because if the baby wasn't killed all of u would have been dead by now. Please nobody should judge me or anybody here because we all know Jesus Christ was killed to save us all from sin. The most important thing here is the baby died to save u guys,after all its a baby,it doesn't know what it was that the deadly sect people were around,so because it was afraid, it kept crying, my heartfelt sympathy to u and ur family but he did what saved u guys. Greet your mum for me abeg,tell her that divorce is not the ultimate, Thanks!
Sweetie,ur dad did not strangle ur sibling to save you all,he did it to save just his own ass,if it were you or ur mum,he would have done the same thing by killing either of you,ur mum is right to divorce him,he is a selfish man who can kill his own baby just for a chance to live his already wretched life.......Make sure you leave with your mum when she leaves him..××
Women are always ungrateful.... he shd have let the boko haram boys killed all of you. Kill one and save five is far better!
Super story linda abeg ooo
Yes my dear he's wrong 4killing dat baby, in my believe he used dat baby 4 rituals, hw can he just killed d innocent child just lye dat if he did nt used it 4 rituals, he just use bh 2 coverup, evil man. Mtcheeeeew
I wouldn't say he did wronng or right, but it all happened in d spur of d scene, which anybody could have done as well. The mother must just find a place in her heart to forgive and try to forget.
Am sowi it happen dis way bt wot ur dad did was d rit tin Bcos if nt all of u would hv been dead n gone by now so pls n pls let ur mum no dat is d little child fate which he or she came to world wit... Afta all it culd had been any of u... So tel ur mum dat God wil giv u guys anoda babe Bcos is beta ur parents been alive to tek care of u Dan been orphan n u den c d wickedness of uncles n aunts.... Sowi
hmmmm
You just can't please human-beings. @ d point of death,u do the unthinkable.
If he had nt done dat,all of them wud av been killed.
He dat,he's being blamed,y d mother no come out nd die in place of d baby.
Make d man go plead 4 forgiveness from GOD,datz if he b'livs in GOD.
****dis is a tuf 1,d guy strong o****
its really difficult to say...buh i think she should accept her fate
Your dad could have covered the baby's mouth, not to strangle. Covering the mouth wouldn't have led to death. It was a bold step though, and I salute his courage. However, your mum should take things easy before she ruins the family in d name of anger. Wot ur dad did was evil, but was wot occurred to him when he needed to save other. "A necessary evil". It's just like discovering an ectopic pregnancy in a lady who has been trying to conceive for 5years. It must still be terminated in order to save the mother. Another case is, if u're driving and @ a scene of brake failure where u have to decide promptly on whether to hit 5adults on one side of d road, or to hit a little child on d other side.... And it is very certain dat u must do one, which will u consider a lesser option? Biblically, dat was a wrong decision, but in d face of death, most pple do anything to live. D best decision would have been for U all to die, and ur dad be free from the guilt of taking another persons life. Skillacious says so.
this is a serious situation, a case of "between the devil and the deep blue sea" i dont have an answer. only God can judge. appeal to ur mum to re-consider. it is well. and i hope ur dad is sober too cos his attitude can escalate the situation. best of luck to ur family.

This must be really hard for her. This is hard to judge. #heavy sigh#
Y d mama no shout,when the man was committing d act. She hear gun-fire,she kept quiet,nw she's safe and sound,she D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ claim divorce.
Omo araye sha,u just can't please them,jst as Evangelist Obey said in his evergreen track.
Yes he was wrong,if he can kill the little baby,then he wil kill u guys some day
What a situation!! Really sad, so unfortunate you all had to lose an innocent baby to be saved from these heartless blood thirsty evil men. Tell your mum not to go that far. She should be thankful to the Lord for the rest of you. Perhaps, your dad is also traumatized for killing his own child. Pray that God should keep them together.
I believe this story a 100%, your father acted on the spur of the moment he shouldn't be blamed neither should you blame your mother for wanting a divorce. It's a lose/lose situation.
to me it's not the man's fault, he did that in order to save his family. the woman should understand and thank God for the life of her remaining kids than divorce.
This is bizarre but I guess the man was in a difficult situation and had to decide fast! I know he feels terrible about it but he had to save more lives. I pity him. Such a difficult decision.
If dis is true, he couldn't have coverd the childs mouth with his hands? How cum strangling d child was wat crossed his mind. Ur dad is no better than those BH men.
Why kill the baby? Why not wrap something tight around his mouth or put his mother's breast in his mouth? He was wrong in killing the baby
ds story is a big fat dirty lie.
linda some of ds ppl sendn u mails hav wired imaginations.
Kai! No word from men. But your dad is mean o.. SMH
Pls forgive him,he did wat had to b done to save his famili....#collateral damage#
He should have put some clothes or something into the baby's mouth to keep it quiet. Killing the baby was wrong even though it was to save you all. Removing his shirt would have done the trick...
I honestly cannot answer that question without actually having experienced the situation first hand. However Im left wondering that the baby would've had to first pass out before actually dying if the strangulation continued. Perhaps your dad could've stopped at that point.
Oh Dear!!!....He did nothing wrong
If ur mother seeks divorce on diz ground,no court in Nigeria will grant her dat...she needs a therapy not a divorce.knw s very hard to give up a child but she shld undastnd dat t was a drastic moment dat calls 4 a drastic decision
There is no greater love than when a man lay's down his life for another! SELAH
Yes! Ur dad shud had held his mouth or something, surly strangulation couldn't had possibly been the only option. Panic and all.
omg!!!i rili dnt knw wat to say..
Oh my God,so touching....but i will rather we all die than commit murder...afterall we will all die one day,why do we have to kill?poor child.
This is terrible...I don't even know what to say...u guys need a lot of prayers and restoration. But God is good and HIS love for us is everlasting. It's well with your family in Jesus name.
That man na MAN. He did what he had to do. The baby was killed. The family survived. There are consequences and everyone will have to live with it. Accept it bcos there's no escaping this incident for the rest of your lives.
Your dad was caught in some difficult situation. What if the babies cry caught the attention of the insurgents and your family was wiped out? Would you be alive to tell this tale? We ought not to take sm1 else's life buh c'mon don't blame the man sometimes we've got to take actions we ain't proud of. I'll say ya dad was a victim of circumstance. He should be forgiven.
The man did wat he had to do to protect all of u...if it had bin u dat was crying he might have done dsame...sometimes in life we are left wit d only choices we have...ask ur mother, if she was in d grave, wud she be asking for a divorce nw?...am not saying wat ur dad was right but under d circumstances it is forgiveable.
What ur dad did, is wrong n right at d same time, if dat baby was not killed, guess u would have been dead by now, ur dad is not proud of his action so pls help me tell ur mum to let him be, bcos d dead baby also belong to him.

OMG!!!y strangle?he culd hv devise anoda means eida by kipin d child dier y u al take 2 ur heels believe me bh wil nt hv killd dat baby if dey hv found him/her dier al alone!I jux feel so uncomfortable hearin dat word 'strangle'.he can do more if d opp presentd itself
Just try and forget it and talk to ur mother cos he did what he thought was right at that time, he does nt deserve this from you people
Very tough question to answer because you can only be very sure of your answer if you know what it feels like being in dat situation. I think survivor instinct kicked in and he felt it was beta to save 4 rather than losing 5 pple. Sad story.
Every Life is worth saving, but tin this case your dad had to sacrifice 1 life to save 5 lives, am sure it wasn't an easy decision for him to make, but he had to be a man...if he didn't do that probably the 6 of you will be a forgotten story by now and the generation will have perished.....xoxo
If I must say, ur dad did d right tin. Beta 2 lose 1 dan 2 lose all (less casuality)
Sorry, this is a hard case to judge my dear. Who knows tomorrow, we all have only one life and it is easy to judge others out of there did, so as your mum is she divorce her hus will the baby come back to life.
YOUR MOTHER IS AN UNGRATEFUL BITCH. TELL HER DAT
Hian!!! Dis one pass my power mbok
Ur dad acted like boko haram himsef he shouldn't hv done such. Is dia no way to shut d baby's mouth oda. Dan strangling d life out of the poor child? Count urselves lucky to b alive but d worst guilt is survival guilt cos u are all feeling guilty for killing the baby in oda for ur own lives to be spared
this is serious eleyi gi gan,but i don't blame him because they would have killed you all,so don't blame your Dad
Loosing one is far more better than loosing all........
Though, I do not really believe this stuff happened, but let's assume it did. Some might consider what he did cruel, but really, it's not. He is the man of the house, hence, the responsibility of taking care of the family in that situation weighed heavily on him. Every single member of that family would have died including the deceased. It would have been stupid of him to have allowed the cry of the baby wipe out the entire family... Even though I think he should have stuffed the baby's mouth with a cloth or something, but in that situation, who would blame anybody for not thinking straight?
He committed MURDER!!!.
Why couldn't he surrender himself and tell the rest of you to escape?; he would've been remembered as a hero and not otherwise.
In as much as this a complicated case, he didn't make the right decision from my point of view.
I sympathise with you but, the deed's been done and life goes on.
*My R1.50c comment *
Well I think this is a more serious issue than one can imagine. If you're not there or never witness such you will never know. Because this is survival instincts...you're not in the right frame of mind and you're not thinking right. But your Dad could have shut the baby's mouth with his hand (if its not a biting baby). But i can't judge. You never know what you'll do until you're in that shoe. I heard about a father that gave all his four kids knives and cutlasses to butcher any boko haram that comes close to their house and believe me... every member protected themselves. a 12 year old child had to kill one of them just to survive! You never know.You never know!
It is not easy for a man to strangle his own flesh and blood but ur father did that to save you and your sibblings. If he hadn't done that, you won't be alive to tell the tale and ur mother won't be alive to ask for a divorce. Ur whole family wuld av been wiped out of the surface of the earth. Ur father didn't do wrong at all. He did what any smart man wuld do in his shoes.

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.
Well, if ur mom was in the spirit world now - i wonder how she will be filing for a divorce. Well done dad.....
Wow that's hard to say, BTW the devil and the deep blue sea
Stop war, keep the peace
Wow that's hard to say, BTW the devil and the deep blue sea
Well, if ur mom was in the spirit world now - i wonder how she will be filing for a divorce. Well done dad.....
If the story is true, and its a big IF, i dare say the father did the right thing. I know it is hard to swallow but it is the perogative of a leader to make hard decisions. This is know as doing something considered bad for "the greater good". The whole family may have been lost, a rational mind will say he saved lives, an emotional one will say he ended a life.
That's hard to judge, his BTW the devil and the deep blue sea.
OMG, ............ :::((
WELL ITS NOT EASY SEEING SUCH THING. BUT YOUR SHOULD UNDERSTAND IF TO SAY DEM HEAR THE BABY CRY. U NO GO COME HERE COME SEEK ADVICE AND UR MUM NO GO GET MOUTH TO SHE WAN GO FOR DIVORCE...
Just wondering how tha picture above corresponds with tha story tho
OMG.........can't help crying.
I am so sorry your family went through that experience. I cannot imagine the pain your family is in, including your dad. It was a terrible choice he made, but i am certain he is also in pain. I pray you all can heal.
If this is true its the most chilling story I have heard. I am scared to blame 'daddy' cos these are things we have no right to comment or give opinions about as we were not the ones in that situation. Oh God punish boko haram, cos that poor dad never envisioned he would do such
yup. its hella wrong. poor baby, and you stood by and watched?? what a pity scene. you could have done something.i could die to save a baby.
Yes he did.he is a murdere.he didn't strangle the bay to save you people but to save himself from been killed by boko haram.he is not different mean fact he strangled a 6month old baby that is crying to death.can't he give the baby to te mother to calm the child down,no he didn't do that,maybe he wasn't thinking straight I don't blv that.he intentionally killed the baby to save his own ass not for his family.he is a killer

Oh dear ur story is such a pathetic one I wouldn't play d blame here bcos durin periods of war people make tough decisions which might leave a permanent scar,ur mom felt they would have been another option bcos its her child and its typical for every woman to feel that way if she losses her child but I dnt blame ur dad too he had 2do it to save d rest of his kids it hard but I just pray your mom understands and forgives your dad so that peace wil reign
no..he did the right thing... if he didnt n the boko haram guyz had met u.... they wuld av killed all of u including the baby...
Hmmm... btw d devil and d deep blue sea. GOD forbid that situation. Ur mum should know that it wasn't the intention of ur Dad! She should know that ur Dad is equally in pains. In fact, more pains than your mum could ever imagine! She should stop making things worse n rally round ur dad for the LORD's mercies! It will never be well with those demons called Boko haram!!!
KAI..DIS IS DEEP
Goodness gracious.... that's a terrible tng for any parent to do! I pray one day he dosnt kill u too to save himself
Jesus christ!!! But must he kill d baby!!! He shud av coverd d baby's mouth wit his hand or any cloth!!! Wow don't even knw wat to say coz am in shock.
Now that's a very tough one and and a terrible experience for your family. In my opinion I don't support your dad. You don't take away someone's life especially your own child no matter the circumstance. Anything could have happened,God could have still used another means to save you guyz life. Moreover,that singular act makes him exactly the same as the killers he was running from coz no matter the intention behind it,he's a killer just like them. It'd be very difficult or almost impossible for your mum to live with him coz even me who wasn't there cannot begin to imagine how it was. I think your mum needs some time and space to get herself back together. Hopefully she'll come around with time. Also,all of you including your dad himself need to forgive him. Its really not easy I must say but the deed has already been done and no one can change it. I pray God give y'all the strength to pull through this.
Ok nw this is hard to say but ur dad did the ryt thing no doubt......

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
WTF... The man get mind oh...
He just had to do it..
Fuck boko haram. The woman should understand. It's was a necessary sacrifice to save the entire family...
What he did was bad but come to think of it, will you be alive if the baby cried that day? One life was sacrificed because of 5... Like I said what he did was bad but I'm sure he did that out of desperation.
Hmmmmm. i m speechless o.
my mum told me this happened alot during the civil war, pple killed their children as the nigerian soldiers approached their hiding positions...i feel they did that to save themselves instead of a whole family being wiped off....would you have rather they killed all of u?
Obvious fiction!
I don't think he did a bad thing but he should hv tried to shot the baby up with some piece of cloth
I'm sure that ur dad is also suffering from the fact that he killed his own child with his hands. I know he went too far by killing d baby but then again he saved five people in doing so. Your mum is trying to make the matter worst by leaving him. Your mum is torturing the poor man. I understand how hurt ur mum is but u people need to stick together and pass through d trying time. Your father did the best he could at that moment. He wasn't thinking straight. To err is human and to forgive is divine. Don't ever forget that.
Answer the question urself. If he dint do what he did, you all plus the baby will probably be dead and forgotten. (No hard feelings pls). I am not taking sides here but ur father had to be the man dat he is, given the circumstance. Am sure he wasnt himself when he did dat and am also sure dat given the time to think, he would have acted differently. We all know how dese boko ppl kill with impunity. Pls pardon ur dad, ask ur mum to do same. He acted in the best interest of all. Would it be better if his entire family were wiped out?
By the way Linda, na only aproko u sabi do. Finish. Sote u go dey give us gist wey no concern us, about banging bikini bodies and promo shots. But the one wey go benefit Libers, u go do like say u no hear am.

I am not der staff o! Just a good nigerian. Lol...
A difficult situation that requires wisdom and scrutiny for response. Though he had to do what he did to keep you all safe/alive if not your story won't be on here (Neither I'm I praising him for his action).
I'm as-much-as in the sight of man, its "Murder" but everythings dependent on God and only him will judge.
As for your Mum, I can really feel her pain (watching your own child strangled by his father) but she should give it a second thought before taking such action.
Aldo its nt an easy tin 2 4gt bt 2 me,I tink d man did it 2 save dem if nt dey all might av bin killed by boko haram,so d woman shld tink of d oda children nd 4giv d man.
That was really a tough decision for your dad to make. He did what he thought was right to save everyone. A lot of dads might do same, sincerely speaking.
That was a terrible situation to be in. To be honest I feel like your mom married a soldier/warrior not a weakling. That was such a tough call to make but he did what he had to for his family. You guys should never forget that someone had to die for you to live and not take each day for granted. Tell you mom to stay strong. This is not the time to fall apart. I am so sorry you guys had to go through that.
Dis is so sad,dnt even no wat 2 say.......
Is this for real?why would your fada killed an innocent baby...so sad.I don't know what to advice,sorry.
this is a hard one, speechless
women reason from the butt,else she have understood and reasoned with the husband,though the act is bad he should have protected the family with his own life.
this sounds a lot like something I read by a Holocaust survivor during the second world war, about how a neighbour of his in an attempt to stop her baby from crying as Nazi troops were approaching in search of Jews to send to concentration camps, she smothered her child, because her hand was clasped too tightly against its face . your father didn't strangle his son, i hate how u made it seem like it was an intentional thing. as horrific as it sounds, he smothered the child accidentally to prevent the whole family from being killed. its so unfortunate that this happened but the grim truth is that this is the world some of us live in now. Your mother should stop throwing blame, she's obviously grieving and that's understandable, but it has happened, its very tragic but one must just accept it and move on. sorry for ur loss
Hmm dear,what ur dad did was absolutely wrong,he murdered a 6months old baby?For God's sake,he could av @least saved d family in some other ways!.u,ur siblings n mum need 2 keep a distance frm him cos he could murder 1 of u 2 save himself if need arises again. God help us oo
Hmmmm asi nkea puru oku
Painful story though....Your mum shld be real here,she was right there when all these was happening....Why didn't she scream out when ur dad was strangling d poor baby so bokoharam wld locate where u all were hiding and then kill you all...I quite understand her plight but she shld try and understand the circumstance than surrounded d situation and let sleeping dog lie....May God heal you all from this pain...Amen!

I dnt know wat to say but ur mum just need some time to get over it, ur dad shud just leave alone for now.
I am stunned and speechless. Some will say to kill one to same many is better than saving one and losing many. I think your dad is going through hell for killing a product of his own loin but I think he did what was right at the moment. But your mom needs to be apart from your dad to recover because every time she looks at him, she doesn't see a man who saved her life but the man who killed her child.
I feel bad reading your story. Having a 7months old baby myself, I cant tell what I would have done if I were your father. But one thing is sure, I dont blame your dad. I blame a failed state. The primary purpose of government is security and welfare for the pple.we live in a jungle where the pple vested with the responsible to protect her pple r busy counting money. I Pray your mum find a place in her heart to forgive your dad n realize that your dad is likely grieving more than she is grieving. he is a man n dats y he is no showing it.
if ur mum wud listens to you, tell her to stay put.help her see ur dad did it for all of u. ur dad needs ur support. he is suffering too. the guilt he feels now, u dont wanna know how debilitating it is for him
Hmmm, that was a very difficult situation. Can't blame the man
I don't think its right for your dad to take any human's life even if it is to save you guys.The only one who gives and takes life is God.
Hmmmm this one pass me o
Actions shall be jugde according to intention.
Ur dad did right by killing the baby based on the folling evidence, 1 according to utiliterian princeple, an act is right if it brings more pleasure and less pain. typical eg is the cese wher Jonah was cast into the sea to save the others and Christ died to save all sinner. Besides the sin of muder is between ur father and God which if he confesses to God, He will forgive him, and the baby is without guilt, I think ur mum should be morethankful to ur dad for giving her the opportunity to grow in Christ and know God some more rather than blaiming ur dad for muder and commiting the sin of aldutry whic will make her suffer more loss.
Ethically speaking from the theory of Beneficence: "Your dad could have given himself in by distracting the terrorist and buying u guys some time to escape".
Speaking from the theory of Utilitarianism: "He tried to maximize good by saving the 5 of u and minimize harm by sacrificing his baby". This is a dilemma and the problem with ethics is "there is no right answer". Well, in another way, he could have knocked the baby out and revived him/her afterwards. In a nutshell, we don't have d right to decide who lives or dies.
Hmmmm... DEEP!!!
This is a difficult question my dear. Ur mum shld try to forgive ur Daddy. It is really bad and our govt are just there. Seeing that people are suffering everyday
Hmm dis one z strong mehn
he shouldn't have killed the baby, by doing that he has committed the sin.
when boko haram were approaching, rather than killing the baby, he should have offer prayer to God for deliverance.
Obara jesus! Why didn't he tie d baby's mouth or sometin? Ha! .
Thou shall not kill......there is no justification for taking another's life. Since d baby was only six months only and still feeding from d breast all ur mum needed do was to simply put d breast in d baby's mouth to muffle her voice.
poor darling. I can understand what ur mum is going through and i bet you its not easy for ur dad as well. May God heal ur entire family from the pains an d nighmares you all are facing.
House wife.
LINDA IKEJI. Can't say for sure anyway but he shouldn't have done that since its GOD give and God takes not man hez wrong
hard nut to crack.... ur mom should b reasonable in this..bt ur dad get mind oooo
poor darling. I can understand what ur mum is going through and i bet you its not easy for ur dad as well. May God heal ur entire family from the pains an d nighmares you all are facing.
House wife.
personally i think d story is fabregated,chokin a baby wud make same noise as covering d mouth,and dey wud have still been noticed. people and their imaginations, just to improve on their writing skills. smh. we no b mumu o.
Pls someone should not say End time father or End time baby!
A sad story. However, in my opinion, saving all by losing 1 is better than losing all. Still a horrible thing to do..or witness.
Your mother must be a very wicked woman to want a divorce for such a reason. Maybe she would have preferred all of you including the baby to have been killed.
Even the Bible says that if any part of you will make you lose your salvation, it is better you cut that single part off instead of keeping that part and allow the whole body be destroyed in hell fire.
Just like in the case of cancer, it doesn't mean one hates that part of the body being removed, but it is to save the whole body from being affected by the cancer.
He didnt in my opinion. self preservation is key to survival. may the soul of the departed rest in peace.
A very confusing situation
Hmm this life sha
Aya, thou painful but dat is d only option 2 do. Your mum should be very grateful 2 ur dad 4 making d divorce possible on earth, else it would have taken place in heaven.
A very confusing situation.
A cold chill just ran down my spine...
Not really,I hardly get scared. I just dunno what to say, you guys are alive ba? Thank God for that.
And yes I confirmed, Harry Song's grammer on Fb and twitter na no go area.
This is exactly a case of between the Devil and the Deep blue sea....
Awww...Its a pity but no one should be blamed here. Its hard for everyone including your Dad himself, your mum should please not complicate issues and move on. Thank God you all are alive; wonder if she would be filing a divorce if you all were dead.
In every situation, Give Thanks to God. As a family, ask for God's mercy.
B.
This is beyond comprehension, absurd, and unbelievable, your dad had to do something to keep his family safe, but he went too far, may God forgive him.
This is really a tough one, but honestly ur mom shud go easy on d divorce. She shud look at it frm ds scenerio.....her life or dt of her baby b/cos frm wot u said u guys wud hv probably died if ur dad hadn't strangled ur baby
Y should ur mom be adding pepper to injury? Ur dad only protected d rest of u so she should take several seats! Y didn't she come out of hidin wen d baby was been strangled she didn't want to die abi?? So wats now her prob?!?
Oh God, seriously, i feel for the family. It's a sin to commit murder but somehow your dad wanted to save the family's lives. Ah, honestly i don't know how to pass the judgement, let God intervene.
hmmmm.... na wa o. Murder was an extreme case. perhaps, your mum would have offered to breast feed your lil baby or covered the mouth with her hands or something.
nonetheless, your mum shouldnt file foe divorce, thats extreme too.
may God provide another beautiful baby for your family and rest the soul of the departed.
A man gota do wat he gota do to protect his fam!
ur mama dey craze, na becos she dey villa na why she want divorce, nw the man has nothing
wow this is heavy o, chai your mum should please reconsider, divorce is not good at all.
oh no quite painful but your dad did all he could do at that moment to save your life. if he didn't do what he did even your mum wont be alive not to think of divorcing your dad. she should pleaese understand and take a chill.
Yes he did,he should have use his hand to cover the baby's mouth.
This one deep oh, I think they should go into therapy. One million dollar babe
Linda, it so hard to say. but in this case the had no other option. they would have all been killed by the boko haram. linda my 1st comment post it ooo.
Isn't it when u r alive dat u can send us dis story? I don't tink he had a choice in dis. U all cld have been killed. Yes it's morally wrong but it's survival instinct! If it wasn't ur dad, it wld have been BH...so let it go already!
God is d true Judge
Oso mi lenu..Obu iyo is..dnt knw wat to say..dis one is a serious issue o
That's so sad but he did what he had to do. You owe your lives to him. He has to carry the guilt of killing his child forever. It can't be easy for him either. Find a way to get to your mom. Its not easy; God be with you. KD
GOSH!!!!!this is so touching. i understand how your mum is feeling...d shock and d pain of losing a child in such a tragic way BUT your dad is not to blame coz i know that even the trauma wont be easy for him at all. He was just trying to save YOU ALL. the cry would have led to you all dying like dogs no doubt then WHAT NEXT??
murder can never be condoned but your mother needs to work this tragedy out with your dad for the sake of the same family he was trying to save. Nigerians rarely believe in therapy but you all need to attend a family therapy to help you get over the grief.
May the soul of that innocent baby rest in Gods care..Amen
