😮
How barbaric can people be. I cannot comprehend the reason behind this
Trump is right about you fucking cnn.
This is brutal
Everyone working in cnn and that came up with this research and fake picture are foolish.
Idiots
I think is just looking for a topic to keep them trending! This is a culture that had gone into extinction decades ago. It is just like awakening the apathied period in South Africa or the race war in New York( they won't mention that though).
Is this the best you can digged in Nigeria?
Fools like cnn. Is thid the only news you see in Nigeria? You Nd your islamist agenda
Damn you white people...
CNN should face American issues and not report on issues they have little or no knowledge about in Nigeria.
😧How is this so This is completely nonsense Where's the Human Rights Commission in this country
Savages. 😒
Pacified to read the statement 'But she admits her experience is not the reality of many women in the country.......' I would add to that statement 'Even in the southern part of the country this abuse is not common today.'
That’s horrific😓
I remember seeing this in a Nigerian movie I watched years ago.
did you just cover the story or did you help the woman and her children?
And they call it 'tradition'.
Tragic in this part it should be condemned Socially and removed by Govt order initiated UNHC.
And
TheBernieBro1 Muslims in Nigeria are also cutting the heads off Christians.
And yet, Clinton News Network didn’t rate Nigeria on the top ten worst countries for women, but they listed America as number 3...and a woman had the freedom to write not only this article, but the article listing America as number 3 as well. Baffling and privileged.
What? Wow.
It truly is terrible. In Nigeria the worst thing to happen to a young woman especially from some tribes in the south is for her husband to die early💔
Oh what an inhumane act Discrimination among women
, please do well to name the town or village and state where this is happening. This practice had stop along time. If you give details, our human rights will take it up so other women don't suffer same. We are good people, great nation.
More and Doom and Gloom reporting from the MSM ...🙄
This story does make me think America is a better place to live. Very sad! I guess trump has only taken us back to the 50’s, could be worse!
Why are showing us this let me ask you mr and mrs (CNN) did you no anything about Africa culture or in Nigeria 🇳🇬........? I need answer please 😡😡 you people problem is more than coronavirus
How about you writing something on OSU in the Igbo culture
This needs to stop
ARNA
Human evils continue without fail ...
What is the motive behind this
Dumb!!
nkazimulomz Nigerians are witches, damn backwardness
Interesting. pivots from 'Don't be racist to the Chinese/don't demonize the Chinese govt for creating & spreading a global pandemic.' to 'Here's a sick practice in Nigeria'. Nigeria, like many African nations are being absorbed/colonized by China. Coincidence?🤔
Please stop waiting for the legislation to be enacted. Sue sue sue. Sue the community to court. The Nigerian Supreme court has abolished most of these inhumane practices. Sue for protection of your rights!
It's a very common practice for a widow to be falsely accused of being responsible for the death of her husband in most parts of southern Nigeria. Any Nigerian who denies this is a pathological liar. What annoys me is that the NGRSenate and the HouseNGR are fully aware...
There's always some inventive way to oppress women...and take away any control.
The one of depriving of meals is total lies!!! cnn come and do proper investigation this one is false!
What part? Stop misinforming people about Nigerian culture. For the truth, most parts in Africa, when your husband, wife, father or mother dies, the window and immediate family members will cut their hair in respect to our custom and traditional values.
nobodycares
This is a misogynistic world. And we are paying the price for it. Humanity is cursed.
And liberals want that brought to America.
This is their Culture, let it be!!!! You have your laws in your country as well
Yeah, and here in the United States, we have a president who lies to us, creates confusion among the citizenry and causes untold deaths I mean really, picking on some small of folks who MAY be conducting such practices ... I mean to what purpose is this 'INFORMATION' ... silly
This is not the truth
CNN promotes this kind of behavior
Whether they descendants of Hindus as this practice (Maltreatment with wodows) is found in many states of India. We Sikhs strongly condemn it. The founder of Sikh religion praised women and said;
Lesson is: Just because it's normal in your culture, that doesn't mean it's good.
Omfg. Stop the insanity please!
Shame on you Nigeria!
SOUNDS MADE UP ! OR I FORGOT, YOUR THE ( C.OMMUNIST N.EWS N.ETWORK ) GET THE HECK OUTTA HERE WITH YOUR FAKE B.S. ! DAMN TRADERS TO AMERICA...
But yet America are the bad guys lol we are the best by far.
and this is shocking? Humans are cruel and fucked up. Selfish and lacking compassion. It is why we are all home quarantined and people are dying.
Please specific about the place in southern Nigeria because this is not the true picture of our culture, so many have been abolished
Rubbish
What?
Why isn’t CNN mentioning Joe Biden’s sexual assault allegations Just wondering....
