She's no evil, simply silly.

Atheist:-D:
How can they be sure these babies are not being used for rituals?

In as much as rituals can not be ruled out in all cases,in this case they were not used for rituals.the 3rd woman in black/white clothe bought the 4yrs old Stanly.


Imagine the middle man(Ogbonna) saying she is doing this for humanitarian purpose.Why then do we have orphanages?who made her the humanitarian custodian for those in need of it? Though surrogacy is widely accepted in many countries, it is still illegal until approved by law.Even at that it must be done by appropriate authorities. The man even exonerated himself by saying he took one of the babies from a mentally deranged woman,pray,who made him a custodian mad people's kids? their response goes a long way to show how morally decayed our society has become. I weep.... for this country

coldgate:
And you my dear are both evil and silly. Spare a thought for the parents of these children. Besides, it is a crime to traffic in humans last time I checked.

Nigeria will not heal of her diseases till we all stop pointing fingers to one tribe for crimes, and realize that it is an issue that concerns all Nigerian and we need a joint hands to deal with it

cold: Surrogacy is an arrangement in which a woman carries and delivers a child for another couple or person. The surrogate may be the child's genetic mother (called traditional surrogacy), or she may be genetically unrelated to the child (called gestational surrogacy). In a traditional surrogacy, the child may be conceived via home artificial insemination using fresh or frozen sperm or impregnated via IUI (intrauterine insemination), or ICI (intracervical insemination) performed at a health clinic. A gestational surrogacy requires the transfer of a previously created embryo, and for this reason the process always takes place in a clinical setting.
The intended parent or parents, sometimes called the social parents, may arrange a surrogate pregnancy because of female infertility, other medical issues which make pregnancy or delivery impossible, risky or otherwise undesirable, or because the intended parent or parents are male. The sperm or eggs may be provided by the 'commissioning' parents, but donor sperm, eggs and embryos may also be used. Although the idea of vanity surrogacy is a common trope in popular culture and anti-surrogacy arguments,there is little or no data showing that women choose surrogacy for reasons of aesthetics or convenience.
Monetary compensation may or may not be involved in surrogacy arrangements. If the surrogate receives compensation beyond the reimbursement of medical and other reasonable expenses, the arrangement is called commercial surrogacy; otherwise, it is often referred to as altruistic surrogacy. The legality and costs of surrogacy vary widely between jurisdictions, which results in high rates of international and interstate surrogacy activity.

Why can't the National Assembly enact a legislation to legalise this act in Nigeria.A lot of women are suffering in silence.

Tony Spike:

Dude, it is called profiling. Profiling is the first major step required to deal with a problem/syndrome that is yet to attain national scale. For example, the Boko-Haram syndrome is a clear case of an isolated syndrome and is being hit from its origin by the FG. Cases like these should be hit at its origin, so also cases like ritual killing, oluwole fraud, kidnapping e.t.c. The earlier they are solved and/or crushed at areas where they are rampant, the lower the chances of such syndrome(s) spilling into other parts of the country. However, the solution to this baby-selling syndrome is more skewed towards cultural ideologies - and is more related to greed - not poverty. I hope I have helped you...

Nigeria...morally there has been no improvement since I was born. We jus say, "Things will get better" but things are going, no SPINNING out of control. Before you know it now people will say, "This country, this is the result of corruption, poverty, bad govt". Please which f***ing poverty will make someone sell her unborn child, steal her neighbour's child to sell, buy a STOLEN baby? And this buying of babies is prevalent in the East. This year alone, google how many baby making factories police has discovered there. What has government got to do with it? Yeah govt has a role to play in ensuring equality and proper wealth distribution and empowerment but...in Somalia and Sudan where poverty is more do women sell their unborn children?

...this is crazy. I have a neighbour, she went to somewhere in Onitsha, Anambra to buy a baby. Came back after a week with a baby...guess what? She didnt know the baby she bought had a mental challenge. Now he's 6. He cant talk, communicate...Now, Nigerian baby sellers don dey dupe buyers. There should be honor or some semblance of it in the trade abi? " least there is honor among thieves na

My sincere sympathay to your neighbour who travelled to the East to purchase a baby that was not suitable due to his unfortunate handicap. However I agree with the other NLander that such a practice should be addressed in a civilised manner rather, HOPEFULLY with ALL NIGERIANS United RATHER than as a means of Tribalistic Igbo Bashing in the DIRTY GUISE of PROFILING as you so elloquently said. Im sure you are intelligent enough to ADMIT that historically, trafficking and expoitation of human beings was not predominatly an arena where ONLY IGBOS had a hand. In addition to this please TRY and properly READ the context of submissions before patronisingly typing warped comments which were out of the context of My first post. I am not a prejudiced tribalist but my blood is boiling because instead of Uniting and focusing on a just cause zeal is used to INSULT and ABUSE instead of intellectually contribute. Intelligent people of ALL ethnic groups will agree with me....and I wont tolerate anybody who comes with nasty negative shit..even if they chat Igbo, Yoruba or jamaican Patois...

Kind Regards....
