According to her story, she and her husband had agreed before marriage that they would wait at least three years before having children. She explained that she wanted to “enjoy life” as a newly married woman and also wished that their first child would be a boy. However, just one year after their wedding, she became pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl.
Instead of joy, the birth brought anger and rejection. The woman openly admitted that she could not love her baby, who cries too much and even sleeps in strange positions. She wrote that she felt the child had “spoiled” her plans to live freely. She went further to say that she was thinking of “discharging” the little girl in a way that her husband would not notice.
The shocking confession quickly drew hundreds of angry reactions. One commenter, Joyce Oluwademilade, responded with heavy words: “Ahhhh! I am not only pouring you spit, I pour you early morning urine. Shame on you.” Many others described the mother’s behaviour as wickedness and a total lack of conscience.
The picture attached to her message showed the innocent little girl sleeping awkwardly on a couch, her legs bent in a way that made people pity her more. That image became a symbol of the child’s helpless state and how much she depends on love and care.
The woman said she wanted to “enjoy life and explore” before thinking of being a mother. But her husband has reportedly been complaining about the way she treats the child. Instead of changing, she wrote that she cannot bring herself to love her daughter.
This case has raised serious concern. Child rights activists say it is a clear example of how some young mothers are not emotionally prepared for parenthood. They warn that neglect and rejection can damage a child’s health and future. Doctors also explain that refusing to breastfeed a baby can cause malnutrition, slow growth and even death.
Financial experts also link the matter to social pressures. Many young couples rush into marriage without planning their income, their lifestyle and their readiness for children. In such cases, an unplanned baby can become a heavy burden. But hatred is never a solution. What children need most is love, patience and proper care.
The sad reality is that the child has no fault in this situation. She did not choose when to be born or her gender. Society expects parents to protect, not punish their children for their own choices.
As the online anger grows, people are calling on authorities and family elders to step in before it is too late. Some have advised that the baby should be placed under the care of someone who will love her genuinely if the mother cannot change her heart.
