posted this disturbing photo of a Wanzami (local barber in Kano)
removing Uvula from the mouth and private part of newborn babies. (Uvula is the fleshy piece of tissue hanging down over your tongue toward the back of your mouth)
The procedure is called "Cire Beli" in Hausa. From the little we could gather, it's done for medical and health reasons. After the cut is what an Hausa social media user wrote about it:
"When
u get a cold or sumthin... the thingie (bellie?) gets infected and it
hurts... so Hausa people and other people around the world, cut it off
from birth. But i kinda disagree with such practice.. because the
thingie (bellie) is like a shield (or filter).... so.. it gets infected
FIRST and the infection stays there... if not, then the infection will
carry on and go into the body... u grab? there has to be a reason why
God placed it there...
My dad didn't have his removed.. my mom got hers removed.. but meeh and my sibs still have ours...some Hausa people also believe that it will grow long and choke the person... and that's just...outrageous..lol"

It's things like this that make you ashamed of your race and country.No wonder the world has left the black man behind, we still act like we live in 1917 instead of 2017.

...he then started licking the cum leaking from my pussy. I was in seventh heaven. He ate me ourt for over 10 mins and before he was done I had come once more. This made my legs weak and I started to tremble. He then got up and planted a kiss on my lips and said that I should return the favor. He then made me sit on the bed and took my hand and placed it on his groin. I could feel the heat of his cock over his shorts. He told me to rub it, which I did without hesitation. Then he told me to pull his shorts down and at the same time he removed his t-shirt...READ MORE

I'm wiping tears of hurt from my eyes for these poor souls right now.
Well it's natural selection by nature isn't it.
Sharing Hep B ... since 1717
The uvula actually has zero benefit and can be removed. However, it is a surgical procedure that shouldn't be done so carelessly cos it opens them up to major infection. Tragic.
Choi , God forbid
The second child was having female circumcision, where her clitoris is removed so that she will NEVER have an orgasm. It is illegal in Nigeria and Linda I was surprised that you didn't recognise what was happening given that (fill in the blank)
The parents allowing this should not have more childe. Idiots! How can anyone in 2017 be so uneducated and privative! Why is circumcision still happening in Nigeria???!!! Fuck I'm angry and linda duck you for reporting half a story again pathetic blog! All unnecessary all cruel baby could die and the mother should be jailed
