Girls For Sale In Nigeria, What Can We Educated Nigerians Do About It? by Ndipe(m): 11:33pm On Feb 18, 2011 |
GIRLS FOR SALE • Inside home where kids, teenagers are on sale By CHIOMA IGBOKWE Saturday, February 19, 2011 Chinwe • Photo: The Sun Publishing Living index Are you looking for babies for outright purchase? Or are you in need of children to serve as maids? You don’t need to search further. In the heart of Lagos, a camp exists, where babies, young girls and boys are figuratively on sale. All you need is to pay and take them away without even signing any document. Investigation by Saturday Sun undercover reporter revealed that kids are brought from villages, in the South East, with the consent of their parents, who are only interested in money and not the welfare or safety of their wards, and camped in houses in Lagos, from where are be given out to anybody who can afford the fee. Checks showed that some of the kids, who are serving as maids or hawkers for their “slave owners” do not go home to see their parents. And those who did, after many years, especially young girls, are told by their parents not to bother returning, unless they find husbands. To unearth this child trafficking cum slavery ring, Saturday Sun reporter, visited the baby shops, with a lady who posed as a prospective “buyer.” The lady negotiated and issued a cheque to “buy” a day-old baby. The experiences of the victims and the reporter’s task to unravel these racket would simply shock you stiff . . . http://sunnewsonline.com/webpages/features/living/2011/feb/19/living-19-02-2011-001.htm |

Ridiculous as this story may sound but its the truth esp the Ebonyi connection . . .they are all over the streets. I also know Ebonyi state has its own fair share of elites;educated,opportuned and rich,I wish they wud join the crusade of educating and helping though greed on the part of the parents is another factor. |

There should be laws specifically for parents who consent to their children being sold. Serious jail time. They have lost their right to be treated like human beings when they do such evil. |
