SHOCKING! Nigerian Girls Are Now Selling Their Eggs For Money Illegally, See How Reps Plan To Stop It
The Nigerian House of Representatives has initiated measures to tackle the growing problem of illegal harvesting and commercialisation of human eggs. This step follows concerns over ethical violations, exploitation, and health risks associated with unregulated egg donation practices in the country.
During plenary on Thursday, Hon. Kwamoti Bitrus La’ ori, representing Adamawa State, moved a motion that led to resolutions urging the Federal Ministries of Health andà Social Development, and Women Affairs, to establish support systems for women affected by egg donation. These systems aim to mitigate health complications and address psychological impacts experienced by donors.
The House also called on the Ministries of Health and Information to launch awareness campaigns to educate the public on the ethical, medical, and legal aspects of egg donation. The campaigns are intended to inform potential donors about risks and discourage exploitative practices.
Hon. La’ ori highlighted that the increasing demand for assisted reproductive technologies, amidst insufficient regulations, has fueled the illegal trade in human eggs. The lawmaker noted that Nigeria’ s evolving reproductive healthcare system and rising infertility rates have contributed to a flourishing black market for human eggs.
He expressed concern over exploitative practices targeting vulnerable women, especially low- income earners and teenagers, who are often unaware of the health and ethical implications of egg donation. Reports from 2021 revealed an illegal egg harvesting ring in Lagos, where women were lured with promises of financial compensation ranging from ₦200, 000 to ₦500, 000— far below international standards.
Additionally, in 2022, a fertility clinic in Abuja was exposed for illegally commercialising human eggs, misleading women under the guise of legitimate donation programs. The clinic reportedly inflated egg prices for foreign clients, highlighting gaps in Nigeria’ s regulatory framework for reproductive health practices.
La’ ori emphasized the health risks associated with egg donation, including ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and other complications. Some women suffered severe medical issues due to inadequate procedures, prompting investigations by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).
