longjohn Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Yep it's bad. I don't think it matches the raping of the women by soldiers there though. Some were held for weeks or months and then handed off to another bunch of cretins. Some of the women were raped so often that the separation between the vagina and colon had worn through. There is a word for that type of injury but it escapes me at the moment. Here is one link but there are many others: http://www.worldpress.org/Africa/1561.cfm Link to comment
DiggerJim Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The proprietor faces a possible sentence of up to 14 years - what does that say about Nigeria? Just depresses you about the potential to improve the human condition. Link to comment
beemerman2k Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 From what I hear about Nigeria, a 14 year sentence is an indicator of how much bribe money is going to have to be paid rather than time one can realistically expect to serve. I would bet that anyone who is anyone never sees the inside of a prison there. They would either just kill him, because he knows too much, or put on a show of "justice" and get back to business as usual. Link to comment

AviP Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Africa just seems to be a continent that refuses to move with the times. It always seems to have strange to disgusting stories, all of which are extremely depressing. Link to comment
upflying Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Prospective adoptive parents in developed countries are just as guilty for creating the financial opportunity for this to happen. Lots of social factors at play here besides the rape and exploitation of the girls. Disgusting but so is poverty, culture in the third world and bureaucratic adoption regulations. Link to comment
W. Mazelin Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 WTF?! Who ever would've thought an agency like this would need to be created? Really? Nigeria has such an agency? A National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP). Link to comment
