And some people are looking up to God for these beautiful and precious gifts, yet, some are selling off their own kids, may God forgive them and grant the wish of those who are sincerely yearning for kids...... Amen.

Ngwakwe: Average of 60,000 babies of Russian origin have been adopted by USA parents within the last 5 to 10 years.

So

I feel like everyone else knows why people are buying babies, but no one is saying it out loud.

Can someone help me out here?

SOME PEOPLE WILL SALE THEIR SOUL B'COS OF MONEY. SHAME

Some people can do anything for money. They don't care about the sacred nature of a baby. Children are heritage of the Lord, for crying out loud!

Ebonyi, Imo, Enugu, Abia, Anambra, etc they have one thing in common-selling their God-giving babies.

Pathetic

No surprise there! It is a cultural thing. A certain warlord once sacrificed over a million babies in that same enclave. If their people are cool with it, let them do as they want!

Nigeria 'baby farm' girls rescued

Seventeen pregnant teenage girls and 11 babies have been rescued from a house in Nigeria's south-eastern Imo state, police have said.

They say they are looking for a woman suspected of planning to sell the babies.

"The girls claimed they were fed once a day and were not allowed to leave the home," said spokeswoman Joy Elomoko.

It is not uncommon for such "baby factories" to be found in south-eastern Nigeria.

The rescued girls said they had all been made pregnant by a 23-year-old man, who has been arrested, reports the AFP news agency.

The European Union says Nigeria, along with China, is one of the biggest sources of people trafficked into Europe, where they are often forced into prostitution.

In 2011, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (Naptip), said their investigations showed that babies are sold for up to $6,400 (£4,200) each.

Poor, unmarried women face tough choices if they get pregnant in Nigeria, often facing exclusion from society, correspondents say.

Naptip says desperate teenagers with unplanned pregnancies are sometimes lured to clinics and then forced to turn over their babies.

The babies can be sold for illegal adoption, used for child labour or prostitution or sometimes killed with their body parts used for ritual

Moral decadence...

This world is just not working right!

What is wrong?

Soon state of Emergency will be declared in Enugu and Imo state for Buying and Selling babies

Hey...Just passing by

so sad..how these young girls are bn exploited...S.m.h 4 ds involve

This is very unfortunate

No, the moderator OAM4J wouldn't be around on this thread to put his kinsmen on a leash for insulting Igbos again here. He is now oblivious and ignorant of the snide remarks being yet again directed at Igbos on this thread now.

Rather when I reacted and asked the silly odua thugs to keep SE out of their petty Lagos talks and focus on their caves and shanty towns they call SW, he deemed it fit for a ban.

Na devil go punish that guy.

Kairoseki77: I don't understand...

Who is buying these babies? Why are they buying these babies?

The barren, those that can't have children, those ready to adopt and those that are childless and very rich!

Poverty at work

It not the way you see it. Maybe government should come in to see how they can educate these homes so they can follow legal adoption process just like Lagos state. You do not understand the pain of couples when they cannot find babies to adopt legally, they just go to these other people. And come to think of it is it better to have these babies dumped in bin or that a family who needs a child has an opportunity to have one (legally or illegally since govenment is not doing anything). The story is becoming common, and if we are sincere we should be concerned as to finding solution to these illegality.

4chi: Hmmnn these "industrious" people again?anyway, as they always say, All na bizness......small time dem go open special Market for babies. Mongrels!

Why not be the change you want to see? You go about making childish insults directed at members of one ethnic group and then you come here whining when someone as misguided as you are does the same to you.

Enugu Factory Uncovered in Booming Baby Business


Six expectant girls rescued from Enugu 'baby factory'

Posted by: Chris Oji, Enugu on May 15, 2013 in Featured,


The police have uncovered another 'baby factory'.

Six expectant teenage girls kept in a guardian's home in Enugu were rescued after a raid on the private residence by security operatives.

Enugu police spokesman Ebere Amaraizu said yesterday that the anti-kidnap unit of the police, acting on a tip-off raided No 7, Anyansi Lane, Ogui Enugu, where they rescued the teenagers.

The girls, who are said to be 17 years old gave their names as Chioma Eze, Amarachi Okoro, Gloria Okoye, Uzoamaka Lawrence, Nneji Faith and Akpan Juliana.

Amaraizu told reporters that the teenagers were smuggled out of their guardians' home and kept in a hideout where they were expected to give birth before the babies sold to bidders.

Three persons are said to be behind the business.

Those in custody are Lami Lasu, Isha Musa and Anthony Chigbo, an indigene of Enugu State.[/size]

Amaraizu said investigations into the incident were going.

The rescued girls were still in the custody of the police as at the time of going to the press.

Police were yet to establish contact with the parents and guardians of the girls.

According to Amaraizu, the identity of the owner of the building where the girls were hidden was yet to be established.

The police spokesman added that investigators were heading to a clue that would lead to the discovery of other enclaves in Enugu.

"The suspects have made useful statements to the police investigators and more of such enclaves housing pregnant teenagers will soon be discovered," he said.

Last week, another 'baby factory' was uncovered in Imo State, where 17 teenage girls were rescued.

Also yesterday, a man, Marcel Agu and his wife Calista, were arrested by the police for stealing a 12-day old male child from the mother, Chika Nwokolo, after delivery in an unnamed maternity home on Ebony Paint Road in Awkunanaw.

Police spokesman Amaraizu said the arrest of the couple led to the arrest of Mrs Nebo Stella, the supposed proprietor of the maternity home and one Patrick Ugwu in connection with the alleged incident.

The stolen child, according to the police, was recovered hale and hearty.

Once the consent of both parties is reached, I think the difference between this and adoption is the role of Government. This has always existed across the world for so long.

Officials of the Lagos State Government have arrested an
84-year old woman at Lekki area of Lagos State, Nigeria
for allegedly selling babies while her orphanage home
that served as a baby factory was shut.
Mrs. Theresa Marques, the suspect, who recently
suffered a stroke was arrested and brought to the Lagos
State Government Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja, yesterday
in the Lagos Ambulance Service bus to keep her in
healthy condition.
Officials of the Social Department, Ministry of Youth,
Sports and Social Development had first stormed the
orphanage home at Block 380, Jakande Estate, Lekki on
Tuesday and rescued two new born babies, two boys and
arrested some young women found at the orphanage.
She was said to have been granted license by the state
government some years ago to operate an orphanage
under the name Ife-Oluwa Orphanage Home but 84-year
old Marques now runs the orphanage along with an
unapproved Maternity centre where babies are being
delivered. She also has a school there.
Following the development, the state government had
revoked the license of the orphanage and shut it down
after rescuing some children from the Home.
Officials of the state government claimed that they got a
tip off from some members of public that the woman
allegedly collected money from people before handing
over babies to them in the guise of adoption.
The act contradicts government’s law which prohibits
that money should be collected before giving out
children for adoption. Also, the exchange of the babies is
without government’s notice, an act that is criminal
under the law.
Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Youth and
Social Development, Mrs Busola Ogunkoya, who led the
team said government was informed that the old woman
was making money through giving out of babies to
intended adopters without government’s notice.
Unconfirmed reports had it that the woman allegedly
harboured young men and women who engaged in sex in
order to produce children for her orphanage which are
then given out. Marques, however denied that she
collected money from intended adopters before handing
the children over to them but confessed that she asked
them for donations which were in most cases around
N100,000, N200,000, among others, adding that this was
always done after the process of adoption had been
completed.
One of the babies rescued from Mrs. Theressa Marques.
She admitted that some young girls with pregnancy
come to her for help since they had nowhere to go,
saying that in such cases, she used to rent apartment for
them and pay for their ante-natal services and their
delivery.
After they had delivered, she would then ask the mothers
if they wanted the babies or not, while those who wanted
their babies were allowed to go and those who did not
want them would hand them over to her after they had
sworn to an afidavit that they did not want the babies.
According to her, it is such babies left in her care that
she gives out to interested adopters without
government’s consent. Two of the new born babies
discovered in the home were born last Sunday but their
mothers were nowhere to be found. Marques said their
mothers had gone to court to swear to an afidavit that
they did not want the children and after two days, the
women had not still come back from the court.
A medical doctor was also arrested at the Maternity
belonging to the octogenarian and had been detained at
the taskforce office Alausa, Ikeja.
He was caught in a private room in the hospital with a
young lady half Unclad, while himself was scantily
dressed. Children handed over to the old woman were
allegedly sold to those in need of children without
following government’s laid down procedure.
Special Adviser to the Governor on Youth, Sports and
Social Development, Dr. Dolapo Badru told P.M.NEWS
that lots of illegality were being perpetrated by some
people in the state under the guise that they were
operating orphanage homes.
“They are giving us bad name. As people operating
orphanages, they are seen as part of government. They
make things difficult for people looking for children in
order to make them cough out some money. We have
been on their trail for long.’
“Two different babies with two different mothers were
rescued. We will get to the root of this matter,” he
stated.

Anyone in the health sector knows that 99% of orphanages in Nigeria are involved in this baby business. I'm still wondering why a popular one in Suleja is yet to be uncovered.
