Politics / Can We Eliminate Child Labour In Nigeria? by seunwen2(m): 12:37am On Aug 19, 2015 |
By Olowofela Oluwaseun Can we eliminate child labour in Nigeria? Though it is a desirable goal the fact remains that in the given socio-economic scenario that is prevalent in our country Nigeria, it is virtually impossible to do away with child labour. One cannot dispute the fact that employers exploit small small children by paying them much less than what they would pay in adult and the future of the working children is ruined as they will not be able to attend schools and get educated for a better future. In 2006, the number of child workers was estimated at about 15 millions. Poverty is a major factor that drive child labour in Nigeria. In poor families, child labour is a large part of income of the family. UNICEF Nigeria is active for children's rights. Child workers include street vendors, shoe shiners, apprentice mechanics, carpenters, vulcanisers, tailors, barbers and domestic servants. Many working children are exposed to dangerous and unhealthy environments. But when one considers the economic compulsions of the families which force the children to work, one will be compelled to admit that elimination of child labour will be a distant dream as long as the socio - economic status of these families is not improved. Realizing the harm caused by child labour, the Nigerian Government made laws to protect children from exploitation at work and to improve their working condition. In August, 2003, the Nigerian Government formally adopted three International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions setting a minimum age for the employment of children. The government also has implemented West African Cocoa Agriculture Project (WACAP). There is a similar inciidence of child labour in rural and urban Nigeria. In 2010, The US Department of Labour report claims Nigeria is witnessing the worst forms of child labor, particularly in agriculture and domestic service. In rural areas, most children work in agriculture of products such as cassava, cocoa and tobacco. These children typically work long hours and for little pay, with their families. The report claims some children are exposed to pesticides and chemical fertilizers in cocoa and tobacco fields because of archaic farming practices or because they are deployed as forced labour without protective gear. Additionally, street children work as porters and scavengers, and a growing number of them engage in begging. The report claims commercial sexual exploitation of children, especially girls, is also occurring in some Nigerian cities, including Port Harcourt and Lagos. Though elimination of child labour is an impossible task in the current socio-economic scenario, the we should task the Nigeria government to remain committed to the task of ensuring that no child remains illiterate, hungry and without medical care. When this ideal will be achieved is a million dollar question i used to ask myself. The developed countries are exerting pressure on developing countries like Nigeria to eliminate child labour. According to the current thinking the developed countries may stop imports of those goods that involve child labour in their production. In some of our cottage industries like making of carpets, children are employed in larger numbers. These carpets, which are being exported, may soon lose their market abroad if the producers of these carpets persist with child labour. Child labour is, no doubt, an evil that should be done away with at the earliest. The prevalence of child labour reflects very badly on society that is not able to stop this evil. But in a society where many households may have to suffer the pangs of hunger if the children are withdrawn from work, beggars can’t be choosers. These families have to send their children to work, even if the future of these innocents is ruined, as that is the only choice open for them to survive in this world. Therefore, unless the socio-economic status of the poor families is improved, Nigeria has to live with child labour.

Romance / Reasons Not To Have An Abortion by seunwen2(m): 4:41am On Aug 18, 2015 |
By Olowofela Oluwaseun 1) It compounds tragedy. Sometimes the circumstances surrounding a pregnancy are heartbreaking Perhaps the woman was raped or accepted willingly. Maybe the baby has been diagnosed with a defect. Or the woman’s health might be at risk. However, one tragedy is not answered with another tragedy as this popular saying implies an eye for an eye makes the world go blind. We do not erase a rape by killing a child. We do not cure a baby by taking his life. And we do not avoid all health issues by avoiding the reality of another human being. Women who have been raped must be compassionately cared for. But compassionate care does not include executing a woman’s child. Parents facing a difficult prenatal diagnosis must be given real facts and directed to others with helpful experiences. They must not be forced into a quick choice for abortion or urged to take the life of their child instead of giving her a chance to defy the odds. Women with high-risk pregnancies must be treated by real medical professionals. But treatment does not include intentionally taking of a child life. (If a child dies during the course of treating the woman – i.e., during chemotherapy for cancer, removal of an ectopic pregnancy, etc. – this is not an abortion.) 2) It takes innocent lives. Science has made it clear to us that unborn human beings are living, separate, and unique. From the moment of fertilization – better known as conception – a new human life is in existence. Ending this life is not ending “potential.” It is ending a life. We would do well to understand the modern science that reveals the humanity of the unborn. 3) It violates civil rights. Civil rights are violated when people are deprived of their basic rights in a discriminatory situation. Unborn children are deprived of life – the most basic right of all – simply based on their location (their mother’s womb) and their developmental status. This is discriminatory , inhuman, and cruel . 4) It punishes innocent child. A child does not deserve to die for the crimes of his father. A five year old cannot be killed because his father is a rapist. A five month old unborn child should not be allowed to be killed for the same reason. A child does not deserve to die because her mother and/or her father were irresponsible. A child is completely innocent. An unborn child did not decide that his parents would have sex or that they would use ineffective contraception. An unborn child is always innocent and should never be punished. 5) It can create emitional instability for the woman Real-life stories demonstrate again and again that abortion harms women. Harm comes in a variety of forms – mental, emotional, relational, and physical – and in some cases, women’s lives are lost through abortion. They can also experience the loss of their fertility or an increase in miscarriages after an abortion. 6. It is damaging to relationships. Any time a family member dies, the rest of the family is affected. And this is true of abortion. A real, living, irreplaceable child has been killed, and the parents and siblings are damaged. Fathers attempting to stop abortions should read this article. Siblings who need a place to express their pain should also read this article. Many women who abort just to convince their guy to stay with them find that they are left alone anyway, shortly after the abortion. Abortion is never the answer to a successful and loving relationship.. 7) It never goes away. No matter how hard we try, we can never erase what abortion does in relationship Abortion kills an innocent unborn child. Time does not erase murder or ease the reality of what it is. Abortion is a cruel tragedy, but it is also a choice that should never be made. Such a choice stays with us forever. For anyone who has already participated in abortion, while there is no way to change your past, there is a way to heal from it if you believed that “Jesus died so murder could be forgiven.” Recovery, hope, and healing are always available.. It creates new problems. Some people believe that having an abortion and ending a child’s life will solve their problems. And in the immediate present, it may appear that the problems have been erased. Perhaps college becomes an easier option, maybe parents never find out that their daughter was pregnant, or possibly an affair remains undiscovered. But in reality, abortion only hides problems – it doesn’t solve them. Many women finish college while still giving life to their babies. Many parents are far more accepting and loving than their daughters believed possible. And the truth is better than a lie, when a lie would cost an innocent person’s life. In the end, that’s what this is really about: our problems are not solved through killing an innocent person. Just because it’s legal doesn’t make it right. And just because it’s often a hidden choice doesn’t mean it won’t stay with you forever. 9) It avoids responsibility. Abortion is sometimes used as an easy cover-up for a one-night stand, rape or a solution to a relationship gone bad. However, when two adults make thechoice to participate in an activity known to create babies, these adults must accept responsibility. Contraception can fail. The best planning can fall apart. But responsibility should not be avoided at the cost of an innocent child’s life. Responsible people have to make hard choices sometimes. Timing may seem bad, and circumstances might be difficult. But this does not justify killing an innocent person. Choosing to raise a child is responsible. Choosing adoption for a child is a better case compared to abortion. But choosing abortion and denying life to a child who already exists is irresponsibly – and irreparably – wrong. 10) It’s not empowering or liberating for women. It is not my “right” to kill my child. I should not be the only person who has the power to order my child’s execution at the hand of an abortion doctor. Letting my child suffer a death in which her spine is sucked into a tube or her limbs are torn apart or her heart is stopped through poison is not empowering or liberating. These choices ought not to be choices at all. They are cruel tragedies for all involved, and they should not be permitted in a civilized nation. Women do not receive freedom through the blood of their children. Stop abortion today. Olowofela Oluwaseun 2015 http://crunchevents..com/2015/08/reasons-not-to-have-abortion.html?m=1 1 Like |
