this is not new. even those in authority have house helps and you pay little to get them.what happens is that an agent pay small amount to their parents and every month you pay the agent instead of the house help. sometimes the agent share the money with the house help. go to most houses in Abuja and u will see small girls as house helps, where are they from? nobody will question those in authority about this.

Poverty is a big disease indeed. But, what will N5,000 do for them? Is it so easy for them to produce these children that they go about selling their children like toys? It is a wicked world really. There is no excuse for this. 2 Likes |

I'm shocked at the almost sympathetic posts I’m reading here! Posts like - "Na wa o! Poverty ehn...i cant blame them,they breed like pigs around that area" & "Poverty is a big disease indeed. But, what will N5,000 do for them?". If it were happening somewhere in the south east of south west, what we would have been reading here would have been - "yoruba/igbo people are very greedy and would do anything for money"; "yoruba/igbo people are very evil"; "worst tribe in the world" etc.. 5 Likes |

The caption of this thread is wrong. I think its Child Trafficking/ Modern Day Slavery. I am sure the 4000 is upfront salaries for those kids. Say 'NO' to child Trafficking..... 1 Like |

Most Nigerian households have had a maid/house-help at one time or the other. Most of those arrangements include procuring the services of the boy/girl in return for monetary payments to the parents/guardians. In some instances the maid/house-help will have their education funded by the people procuring his/her service. This is not unusual in Nigeria,matter of fact it is a widely used practice. However there are shortcomings is this arrangements as the problem of abuse of the maid/house-help is quite prevalent. Now all of this should be differentiated from "human trafficking" which is another kettle of fish entirely. I for one feel sympathy for the guardians/parents as in most instances they are in crippling poverty,uneducated,unbelievably naive.You will find that in most cases they believe their wards/children are going to find a better life.They hope their wards/children will acquire trade skills and/or education in addition to the money they are receiving for them. So they hire their wards/children out. I think the headline is misleading,as if there is indeed anyone selling their wards/children for N4000 chances are it is a very tiny minority who of course should face the law. Chances are the "traffickers" have lied to both parent and child, the government and local services and communities themselves should get involved and check the whole system in it's entirety. Lest we forget that statistically speaking a greater percentage of Nigerians are both poor and poorly educated. And it's easy for the rest of us to sit in our middle class homes and pass judgement. N4000 would not cover the cost of drinks on a night out for some of us Nigerians but for the rest of us Nigerians it is enough for us to give our child away to a stranger,what does that say about inequality? onomeasike: 1 Like |
