Thread Name: Nigerian Woman to be murdered - now acquitted
Subject: RE: Urgent, Nigerian Woman to be murdered
That was exactly my thought: where's the father in all this? Is he not considered equally guilty ion this "crime"? I'd be inclined to think it's less a matter of political influence than of a cultural climate that devalues, abuses & essentially enslaves women. I've sent an e-mail, and hope we can make some difference for this poor woman who's facing a truly horrific fate in consequence of a behaviour about which the political state should have no say or jurisdiction whatsoever!
