According to a new report on Punch, some Nigerians, just to survive the hard times, are now exchanging their kids, clothes for food.

Ibrahim Bala, five, ran around the premises in company with other children as they engaged each other in a game of hide and seek. Naive and harmless, the little boy jumped about with utmost joy as the play increased in momentum. His charm was infectious.

But the toddler could have been in a different situation now if not for sheer luck. Last Sunday, his father, Yusuf, used him as collateral for a bag of 50 kilogram rice at a popular market in Kano after being unable to provide for his family anymore. The middle-aged man after agreeing price with the seller, Alhaji Suleiman Bagudu, had left his son behind and went away with the bag of rice to fetch the money he claimed to have forgotten at home.

Six hours without a sign of him, the worried trader traced Yusuf all the way to his house in the Koki,
Dala Local Government Area of the state, through the help of his little son. Bagudu arrived to the sight of the household feasting on hot plates of rice.

Trash...................if not laziness and greed why will the so-called Ibrahim Bala carry a whole "50kg bag of rice" because of hunger?
