Boy my heart melted after seeing those pictures.
I just can't imagine that people could be so cold.

Why is life so unfair? Why do those children have to suffer like that?

.
I'm not condoning abortions, but if these women know that they won't be able to provide for their children, they should not brought into this world.

kai... it's so sad.... it's beyond me that a woman can carry a baby for 9 months and then throw away....

i remember this early morning as i was going to work... on Eko bridge, there was this sack by the side.. and all u can see are 2 tiny legs... i felt cold that day..... another that happened in the Lagos, this woman gave birth to twins, and she took them to a dump place still fresh and strangled them to death.....

i dont condone abortion at all, but if u cant keep them, dont have them.....

also y cant they drop them at people doorstep or the door of orphanages... but canals, dumpsters, bridges, gutters... kai, that is sheer WICKEDNESS....

Men, this is touching and I almost felt like weeping. Many Nigerians just need to get an education cos the society is soo illiterate.

All this nonsense is cos of the stigma of having kids outside marriage... For the most part if u are a single woman with a child in naija, just forget about 'finding a husband'

If you can't keep them close ypur legs and don'taccept sperm inside. Simple! If AGRO is at an acute level at least make sure your partner always wears a condom.

Besides if you decide to do what husband and wife do to get kids then should be ready that the same thing might happen to you.

If you get pregnant then have the baby and do your best to fend for it. Sex is serious business unfortunately we have turned it into a whim for our personal caprices.

murder is not any better than a malnourished child. Ever seen the corpse of an aborted baby. Please look at one the sight is much worse than a malnourished baby.

Spot on...The stigma of "a single mom" is a taboo and eye sore to many a man...It is combined with hurt, ego and other things..I really feel sorry for many a single mom in naija and the 3rd world.......
