basher: 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..


igbo and yoruba r economic & social rivals. Igboman bliv say him pass yoruba, man while yoruba bliv say hm pas igbo. In d heart of igbos dey respct d yorubas 4 their level of exposure, likewise in d heart of d yorubas, they respect d igbos 4 their success too. 4get wat dey say 2 each oda in d media. Na just 4 mouth, dey cant kill each oda in d name of tribalism or religion.. Permit me 2 b tribalistic here. Igbo beta pas yoruba.. Lol

That attitude is very common among the Benue people. They believe that there are no jobs for them and in other to raise money they take some children with the knowledge of their parents in most cases for trafficking. Though it could be found in many other states too but I think that of Benue is mostly common. I think Benue state govt shoul do something...

jamp: 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.

God bless Nigeria

bobokelly: What a calamity?. This is not poverty, these parents are under spell, how can you nurse a child from pregnancy to the of 5yrs to 20yrs only to be soldl the child for N4000 or N5000, this is absolutely madness. Crazy, insane.
Don't be too hasty in concluding , no parent is actually selling their children. read the post again . they were deceived like every other human being can be deceived. insult them for their gullibility but don't paint them as some heartless , stupid northern who sold their wards for 4k .they did not know they were ' selling' their children to ritualist . have you never been deceived?

I beg to disagree with your assertion. Look at this:

Boys are mostly trafficked from the
south eastern states of Imo, Abia and Akwa-Ibom to Gabon,
Equatorial Guinea and Congo, while those from Kwara go to
Togo and as far as Mali to work on plantations
.
Between October and December 2003, over 500 children
from the Republic of Benin were rescued from granite
quarries and repatriated back to their country of origin,
through a joint effort of UNICEF in Nigeria and Benin.
Similarly, Nigeria has recently seen an increased number of
repatriation of trafficking victims from many foreign countries
such as UK, Italy, Netherlands, USA, Belgium, Ireland, Saudi
Arabia and South Africa.
Private transit camps have been reported to exist in Akwa-
Ibom, Cross Rivers and Ondo States where children are
transported from the south eastern states and forced into
hard labour and prostitution
.

Daresh: Why have children when you cannot care for them? Na wah o!

Because in Nigeria, society still treats women who do not give birth like trash. Its pathetic because its obvious people just breed children like chicken when they know they don't have the necessary funds to take care of them.

Oh my God! I wont like to know that this the way u wish to pay us back for our sins, the problem of this country is geting worst everyday all because of money. What shock most the other day was when read about the members of boko paying police to kill police and army to kill army and am planing to join the army hoping to fight todefend my country but now am discourage. Today is about parent for that matter selling they own children for just 5000 highst. What is this country becoming only God knows and in his hand we are. God help nigeria.

Re: Parents Sell Children For N4,000 In Makurdi! by hannydarl(f): 3:05pm On Jul 30, 2012
Nigerian Police sef. Those kids were not sold. Traficers proly gave that sum to the parents who are so broke 4k is like a million, and told them that is nothing compared to what bomboy will get if he keeps a cool head and serves his oga well. Parent will say hope he won't surffer? Agent will say ah no o he will be placed in good hands given gOod food and fine shelter. Trust me madam I don't have evil clients etc etc in short instead of him to be in this bad environment and turn to thug let him work and earn small money for his education and Parents will think its for the best collect the half salary advance and let the child go. I don't think that is selling. COUNTRY HARD. One Zamfara big boy go buy one as wife from Egypt abi where come here as wife nau porverty dey cause parents do bad thing.Sad

Child trafickking and christianity are synonymous. The bible encourages it. Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers

I agree with this part of your post. I don't think any parent(no matter how uneducated or poor) will want to sell their children for that peanut. Those 'buyers' must have capitalise on the ignorance of those parents, telling them the children will be given the best of education bla bla bla by a rich man somewhere. Like you said, i only blame those parents for being so gullible to belief such stories.
