THIS is the heartbreaking moment a baby monkey clung onto its dead mum as her lifeless body hung from the mouth of African Leopard.

Each time I see this image, I'm terribly disturbed. Life is so cruel and vicious.

The only thing that rules this world is interest not compassion.

America's Time Magazine Wrote This On The Horrific Massacre Of Igbo's In Kano: Oct. 14, 1966.

“Blood Curses. The massacre began at the airport near the 5th Battalion's home city of Kano. A Lagos-bound jet had just arrived from London, and as the Kano passengers were escorted into the customs shed, a wild-eyed soldier stormed in, brandishing a rifle and demanding ‘Ina Nyamiri?’- Hausa for 'Where are the damned Igbos?' There were Igbo's among the customs officials, and they dropped their chalk and fled, only to be shot down in the main terminal by other soldiers.

“Screaming the blood curses of a Moslem holy war, the Hausa troops turned the airport into a shambles, bayoneting Igbo workers in the bar, gunning them down in the corridors, and hauling Igbo passengers off the plane to be lined up and shot. From the airport, the troops fanned out through downtown Kano, hunting down Igbo’s in bars, hotels and on the streets. One contingent drove their Land Rovers to the railroad station, where more than 100 Igbo's were waiting for a train, and cut them down with automatic weapons fire.

“The soldiers did not have to do all the killing. They were soon joined by thousands of Hausa civilians, who rampaged through the city armed with stones, cutlasses, machetes, and homemade weapons of metal and broken glass. Crying ‘Heathen!’ and ‘Allah!’, the mobs and troops invaded the sabon gari (strangers' quarter),ransacking, looting and burning Igbo homes and stores and murdering their owners. Garbage Trucks.

“All night long and into the morning the massacre went on. Then, tired but fulfilled, the Hausas drifted back to their homes and bar racks to get some breakfast and sleep. Municipal garbage trucks were sent out to collect the dead and dump them into mass graves outside the city. The death toll will never be known, but it was at least 5,000.

“Somehow, several thousand Ibos survived the o**y, and all had the same thought: to get out of the North. Many were packed onto a Southbound train. The management of large companies operating in Kano chartered every available plane. All told, 1,400 Igbo's were flown out of Kano alone last week.

I saw somewhere on social media where people are praising this woman for her doggedness while insisting that this is the best picture of the century.

While agreeing to this, I'm immensely concerned about the risk of putting her baby in harm's way. This is a right thing done in a wrong way.

Igbo people in their cautious remarks, have a proverb for this: "Anaghi e ji ihe a na-agba na-nti agba n'anya

Literal Translation: One doesn't take the same object used in cleaning the ear to clean the eyes.

In another translation, It can equally mean that one doesn't wear an item meant for the ear on the yes.

Meaning: The situations of life are not treated same way. They are treated according to their order of peculiarities.

The image we see portrays a hard-working woman, ambitious and non-dependent who refuses to be discouraged, not even by the situations of her life or her baby who probably needed her attention or care.

But she refuses to allow all these sway her determination to face her work. This image equally portrays a woman who pays little attention to safety and caution. The platform where she is standing could tip-over and put the baby on her back at a great risk of harm, the mortar she is plastering could peel off and descend on the baby, the baby is exposed to the chemical components of cement which is not good to human skin, especially that of babies.

My final take is that the woman should separate her baby from her work no matter the sense of urgency and importance to which she attaches to her work.or the demanding nature of her work. That's my verdict.
