Notes for the class: if you ever run across a similar situation (God forbid)take baby (you don’t need to clamp or cut the cord-EMS can do that later) and give chest compressions with two fingers LIGHTLY in the center of the chest…right between the nips, give light puffs of air right over nose and mouth! Like an exhale. You can’t do a big blow, it will blow out their lungs.
If you can then flip baby onto your forearm and have babies head facing down, pat babies back, gently.
Look at their color if they are getting enough oxygen, they won’t be blue in the lips or hands.
Press-puff-flip-pat. Do it until EMS or a trained person comes along. CALL 911 before you film! 🤬
Heroic act at Almaty Airport, Kazakhstan:
52-year-old former boxer Musa Abdraim volunteered to take the place of a 21-year-old flight attendant who was being held at knifepoint by a 67-year-old man.
He then grabbed the knife with his bare hands and helped subdue the attacker with police assistance
True bravery
@chriseze151@lekside34@ChibuikeAmaechi@Ifeabunike I kept saying this, he was that close to getting it, but when you surround yourself with fools, you can never see beyond your nose. It was the best move out there.
Many Nigerians are obsessed with forgiveness. It's like we've turned mercy into a shield for monsters, and it only breeds more chaos.
Let me share something that happened to a family I know closely.
There was this man, a solid guy with a wife, two daughters, and a son. His brother begged him to let his own son, the nephew, 17yrs come stay with them while schooling, since their house was closer to the school. At first, the wife wasn't having it, but after some back and forth, she agreed.
The boy moved in, and for the first year, everything seemed fine. No red flags, just normal family life.
Then things turned dark. The nephew started molesting their youngest daughter, just 10 years old. It began with fingering, but he escalated to full rape. Can you imagine? His own cousin.
The parents had always drilled it into their kids: "Your body is yours; no one touches it without permission, and if they do, we'll fight for you tooth and nail." But the boy threatened her, saying he'd kill her if she spoke up. He'd even bathe her afterwards, clean her up, and slip her painkillers as if nothing happened.
One day, the girl couldn't hide the pain anymore and told her parents. They rushed her to the hospital, and the doctor confirmed forced penetration. The girl pointed straight at her cousin, and her parents believed her without question. The mother said, "My child doesn't lie," and the father also said, "If she says it's him, then it's him."
Now, here's where the "forgiveness" circus kicked in. The whole family swarmed them, uncles, aunts, even the church pastor begging on their knees. "Forgive him, he's young, it's a mistake." The brother's wife, the parents, and everyone were crying for mercy. But the man wasn't moved.
He called the police and had them arrest the nephew, his own brother, the brother's wife, and even threatened to lock up his parents if they kept pushing. The pastor was arrested too for meddling😂😂 The man was brutal.
He ended up jailing about ten people just for trying to beg as accomplices. If you showed up at his door with pleas, you'd be eating prison beans next.
They dragged it to court, and the man spared no expense. His wife's brothers, who are loaded with cash, backed him fully to ensure the nephew got a stiff sentence long years behind bars. He disowned his brother outright and nearly cut off his parents.
The wife's family even said that if he hadn't acted, they'd have rounded up him and his kin too. No mercy.
When people asked why he couldn't just forgive, he laid it out plain: "If we keep forgiving abusers and rapists, they'll multiply like weeds in society. People will start seeing it as normal because there are no consequences." He added, "Family in Africa, especially Nigeria, enables these predators by always begging for forgiveness, protecting them until another innocent child suffers. Let him rot in prison that's one less rapist walking free."
As the wise Chinua Achebe once wrote, "The world is like a mask dancing; if you want to see it well, you do not stand in one place."
We've been standing still too long on this forgiveness thing, and it's costing us our children's safety. Forgiveness has its place, but for heinous crimes like this? It only decays the fabric of our society further. We need more men like him, standing firm against the tides.
FORGIVENESS SHOULD NOT ERASE CONSEQUENCES. EVEN GOD FORGIVES BUT DON'T TAKE AWAY THE CONSEQUENCES.
I am deeply concerned that Tinubu and APC can afford to deny serving legislators ticket, not because it is the will of the people but because it is what they want. These guys are not planning anything good for Nigeria come 2027. These legislators were standing on the mandate, yet they were ditched, it only means that those given the ticket will be worse. We need to make sure the APC loses the 2027 election even with their rigging tactics, or Nigeria will be in a terrible state. No lover of Nigeria needs to sit on the fence any longer.
