She raised an alarm which attracted the community.The Community paraded her and later banished her for life.
The barbaric act has elicited the condemnation of several CKN News readers who described the action of the community not only stupid but a tramp on her fundamental human right.
Some of them have vowed to not only rehabilitate her but are ready to pay whatever fine (three goats) that was imposed on her.
Her were the reactions.

Obby Ezike This

Rolly Sule Ugooh Snr Hmm...at 70, she still dey hammer?
Toyin Idris I wonder o
Eze Edoka Na wa o. So pEOple still pRActice this cULtuRE?
Clementina Okumoku Wat is wrong wit d stupid grand daughter can u imagine hmm
Odape Ologbonyo Kehinde Jethro the grad daughter might have been eyeing the 30 years man
Clementina Okumoku I am telling
David E. Apeh Nonsense. The woman body na wood?
Aimhie Odin The guy must be the grand daughter's boyfriend...
Ade IY Pimping Gbadamosi She chop off the guy's joblokos?? Blood runs through her veins fa no be water
Obiorah T. Momife Poet Let us get something right if our forebears threw caution to the wind we would not have any level of sanity today.
She knew the implication of what she did. If she was that horny she ought to have gone out far from that home.
We no be oyinbo people biko...!
I feel for her thought.

Joy Ofejiro Okujeni-Lee Penny The villagers might as well start walking naked again..as they love being backwards & primitive. WTH
Lawrence Tope Delaw In this small world many things are happening...
Chinyere Ogu Human
tradition...Man inhumanity to man! If a widower had sex with an adult
after his wife's death, would this same treatment be given to him? Why
all these kind of ill treatment against women? Didn't death do her part
with her late husband? Haba!!
Florence Nwankwo Romanus Stupid
tradition, imagine the nonsense,so what will the stupid granddaughter
gain now, since her grandmother has bn banished from their primitive
village? Honestly I felt for this woman, Afikpo Chic supposed to condemn
this, cos this is wickedness and man inhumanity to man.
Taiwo T. Gbadebo If it is a man no problem but not withstanding @ 70 she should have stop all that
Chinyere Ogu Why?
If she's capable at that age, can you explain why she shouldn't? Don't
70 year old men marry 21 year old women? Is there an age when capable
adults should stop having sex?
Ogochukwu Mbanefo Okpokwasili Why should she stop for crying out loud...JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN.
Chii Ezirim Nwanoka Please
why will she stop? Am just learning now that there is age limit to sex.
Hehehehehehehe. Make some mamas no hear this kain talk o.
Taiwo T. Gbadebo I am not against her what I meant is that to have it with a younger man is uncalled for q
Chii Ezirim Nwanoka Taiwo
T. Gbadebo the man she had it with is a full grown 30 year old very
sane adult capable of knowing what he wants. I did not read that he was
forced.
Taiwo T. Gbadebo We see things differently the way you look at it is not the same as mine
Chii Ezirim Nwanoka And
so it should not be called tradition. I see tradition as what is
acceptable to all not what an individual defines as it suits him/her.
Hope you understand my drift now
Taiwo T. Gbadebo I did not call it tradition what I meant is that she should have done it with her age mate and not in her matrimonial home
Chii Ezirim Nwanoka Her
age mate fit no dey stand strong. She wanted a strong, virile young man
who could give her what she really needed not an old man struggling
with erection. It was her choice.
Taiwo T. Gbadebo No problem
.
Joy Ofejiro Okujeni-Lee Penny Can
we get this woman's contact. ..I want to create a go fund me page 4
her....this is the height of madness by her community. ..Idoits\
Adaora Appolonia Uche A very welcome development..
Chinyere Ogu Women
should rally round this woman. This nonsense has to stop! Should women
be killed after 70 in Nigeria? Don't they have a right to live? Is old
age now a crime for women?
Gladys Eb AN Village timid people, i wish i know where she is, i will give her settlement....ndi iberibe
Tony Opara In the 21st century?
Obiorah T. Momife Poet Now I ask us...
If she was your grandmother and you were the one who saw her with the young man in your dads bedroom...?

Gladys Eb AN What is our business with her love life? i can only advice her not to do it at home, period
Obiorah T. Momife Poet Thank you Gladys Eb AN!
Gladys Eb AN My pleasure my dearest brother Obi, Aiesha does not know the kind of person you are, forgive her
Obiorah T. Momife Poet I have nothing against her truly. The impact of the news got to her. Will shame even let me talk about it?
Gladys Eb AN Exactly!
Obiorah T. Momife Poet I appreciate you nwanne m for standing for my humble self. I have a reason that made me place the poser.
Gladys Eb AN I know you na......the proverbial mayor😂
'Niyi Fatogbe The
best any person is his or her right senses would do is to fight/cause
embarrassment for the young man and try prevent him from coming back for
some more action
Toyin Idris Probably
the grand daughter thought mama was being raped so,she raised alarm not
knowing it was consensual.Mama supposed to have retired from it
'Niyi Fatogbe That's
the result of illiteracy, ignorance and idleness, what don't anyone
understand about the rights of two consenting adults??
Nwokike Tai What
are you talking about, this is a cultural thing for Gods sake! The
woman not only desecrated her home but the land, she committed arụ, an
abominable thing she had done! and here are some half educated religious
fanatics defending her in the name of modernity.
Tufia tufiakwa!!!
Tufia tufiakwa!!!
'Niyi Fatogbe In
this day and age when many parts of the world are busy exploring space
and discovering innovations that will improve and advance the life of
man, we are busy talking about culture and desecration. So sad indeed!
Ike Amaefula Primitive
as in primitive! It is those that participated in this show of shame
that should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Not the woman that
engaged in perfectly normal behavior. That community must be anti social
in orientation. What a pity!
Comfort Okoronkwo Se d husband is dead? Two consenting adults, unless d guy is married. If not, dey sud just igbankwu for dem
'Niyi Fatogbe Even if the guy is married, how does that affect any other person in that village apart from the families of the two adults??
Ruth Richard This is madness
Pati Uloko Ajogwu Pls
for crying out loud we are Africans and we will forever remain
Africans. We have our culture just like the whites have theirs. Ours has
made it simple for us, if after your husband's death and you can't hold
body til u pass away too , then return your
dowry ,go away and live your life just how you want it. Anything asides
that is a big No. What she did might brings a curse among the family
if not properly cleanse.
Chii Ezirim Nwanoka I
beg to disagree with you Pati Uloko. That is not African tradition.
Nobody expects a return of dowry in the event of death of spouse and
nobody expects celibacy as well. You are expected to live your live
respectfully (the definition of respect is yours)
Sometimes even the younger widows are encouraged to engage and bear
kids in the name of the dead spouse. But then the killing of twins was
tradition before, did it make it right? What silly curse will the act of
sex a 70 year old had bring to the family? Is it because of her age?
The bed? Or what? I need to know how a full grown man (30years) engaging
with another full grown woman is anybody's headache. Problem is we
Africans love to explain away our inadequacies by tying it to some silly
curse that never was there. I am open to diverse views in this matter
but with strong empirical evidence not some voodoo.
Obiorah T. Momife Poet Not in her late husbands house.
David Ogbeidi This news just tire me. Why punish a 70 year old woman like this? Chai!
Chii Ezirim Nwanoka That
also shall pass away like the killing of twins. Sex between two
consenting adults is allowed. There is nothing abominable in that act.
Her husband is even late so he has no bed no more and no matrimony. The
grand daughter should be charged for gross violation of human right and
must be made to produce her accomplices. Ignoramus
Obiorah T. Momife Poet The sex is not the issue but in the family house where she is a matriarch. Sentiment confuses issues.
Chii Ezirim Nwanoka Obiorah
T. Momife Poet it doesn't matter where she had it so long as it was
done behind closed doors. Com'on cut women some slacks please. It is
her life, her home as well
Jemimah Chuks The
story on the 70 year old widow caught having sex with a 30 year old man
and then they were paraded around town and the woman, I mean the widow
fined three goats left me numb.
Now does anyone know how I can locate this widow???? I want to pay for the three goats!!!!
He who is without sin should cast the first stone!!!
Her sin isn't the sex but that she had the sex in her husband's home. Dead husband!!!
The religious folks here will jump in including the holier than thou, once you jump in here with a negative comment I will jump on you and jump you out. Bad English???? Yes why not when there's bad tradition!!! By the way what did they fine the boy?????? What????
Ndi Igbo what has widows done to you???? When a widow is happy a fool confronts her and asks her why she should be happy!!! You prefer us sad and bitter and angry!!!
Widower nko??? Answer!!!!
Avoid throwing jokes on this thread!!! Imagine that this woman was your mother and don't come here quoting Scriptures about adultery!!! Just cast the first stone if you are without sin!!! I am sure those folks that paraded them sneaked into homes of widows and women including married ones at night. 70 year old, paraded and mocked!!!
Who knows how I can locate her??? Healing Hearts widows support foundation will pay for the goats!!! Nonsense!!!!

Chii Ezirim Nwanoka When
you locate her, please inbox me as well as I will like to be involved
in that. Some silly myopic arguments people make in this 21st century.
What is sex? Simply nature's call which no adult is exempt from. If you
ask me, it is the grand daughter and the villagers that have brought
whatever curse (if any) upon themselves
Aniebo Nwamu Shame on Afikpo!
