Crimes like this are the handwork of few criminals in the east. And as we all know, every tribe has its own fair share of criminals.

This talk about "baby factory" is something the Lagos/ Ibadan expressway media have been using for a long time to denigrate people, especially Igbos

The truth however is that thousands of young girls, nationwide, fall victim to unwanted pregnancy every year. Girls that their husbands, boyfriends or even casual acquaintances have abandoned and ran away.

In such situations, the girl can either terminate the pregnancy or carry it to full term. If she decides to carry it to full term, chances are that she may be ostracised by her family and community, or simply has no support. Nigeria has no support system for such women

The girl will eventually have no choice but to go somewhere where someone will offer to take care of her and pregnancy, even if the price is dire

There's nothing like baby factory, there's only those exploiting would be single mothers

Stupid Nation Newspaper will never report about the massacres going on in Benue and Plateau.

In fact, just yesterday, gunmen killed 30 persons in Sokoto but Nations Newspaper will never report about it.

But if somebody farts in Anambra or Abia or anywhere in Southeast, they will carry it on their head like gala.

No wonder they have lost all relevance and reckoning.

Ndi ala!

Coward! We were waiting for you in Asaba (Igboland) but you were nowhere to be found!

You can only post nonsense ONLINE!

Ah! Are you telling me the SE is not a paradise full of rich men living in mansions and riding in best cars on streets paved with gold? I don't believe this.

Racoon:
All the bastards and wicked humanity operating these baby factory houses where the value and dignity of human life have been so much abused ought to be arrested and shot.
