A Nigerian doctor has sounded the alarm over what he describes as a silent pandemic — the growing trend of young female students selling their eggs for money.
He claims many of these ladies, especially in universities, are rushing to fertility centres and exchanging their eggs for small cash — all because of the harsh economic situation in the country.
In his words, “Our young ladies are selling their future children for peanuts due to harsh economic situations and everyone is silent.”

According to him, nobody is talking about it.
