If you think Nigerians don't know their right, wait till you read this bewildered but true story of a mother that cares. The Nigerian in question is Fausat Ogunbayo who is suing the city of West Brighton (a neighborhood of New York City, Richmond County) sum of $900 trillion for placing her two children in foster care. The amount is highly outrageous as the annual gross national income of United State is just over $14 trillion. Now you know why this story is like that of fiction and fairytale. According to Yahoo news, , if Ogunbayo is awarded $900 trillion she would has enough disposable income to pay off the U.S. national debt several dozen times over.
According to the plaintiff, she believe the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) and the city of West Brighton violated her and her children's civil liberties by placing them in foster care in June, 2008. Although she is yet to be responded to, however, the City believes she mentally frenzy and incapable to take care of her two teenage boys.
The New York City Law Department released a statement to ABC News, which said, “We are unable to comment on pending litigation. The amount a plaintiff requests in a lawsuit has no bearing on whether the case has any merit and no relation to actual damages if any.’’
However, the state Appellate Division recently threw out a family court finding that Ogunbayo was guilty of neglecting her children.
"Proof of mental illness alone will not support a finding of neglect," the court ruled, according to SILive.com
Ogunbayo is representing herself in the case.
