A former Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri, has expressed displeasure over crackdown on “baby factories” in the country, saying the practice should be allowed by government.
Mr. Omokri, the founder of the Mind of Christ Christian Centre in California, said calling the practice baby factory is stigmatization as it should be called surrogate motherhood.
“Every civilized nation accepts and promotes this practice as a humane option for childless couples,” he said an opinion article sent to PREMIUM TIMES Sunday.
Mr. Omokri, a pastor, wondered why Nigeria did not legalize a practice that brings succour to childless couple.
“I have been appalled reading about the raids on so called ‘Baby Factories’ in the media lately. These raids are a throwback to the Salem Witch Trials and I cannot believe that in Nigeria of the 21st Century we are stigmatizing what is an acceptable world wide culture that has brought hope to childless couples all over the world,’ he said in the article.
The former presidential aide continued, “For the avoidance of doubt, these women are surrogate mothers who have children for childless couples. Every civilized nation accepts and promotes this practice as a humane option for childless couples.
“The main reason many childless couples prefer a surrogate mother is because they want to know about the family history and genetics of the mother of their unborn child.
“In many cases, when you adopt a child without knowing who the parents are and there arises a need in future for a blood transfusion or an organ donor, many adoptive parents get stuck. Other medical issues like cancer, or behavioral issues like autism and ADD/ADHD are better diagnosed and treated if you have family history, which is not possible with anonymous adoptions. So, the idea of surrogate motherhood fills this gap.
“In Europe and the Americas as well as in Asia, surrogate mothers are well sought after and advertisements are placed in bus stations, newspapers, on the underground as well as on the Internet seeking out such women. I have included one such advert in this piece.
“Tens of thousands of surrogate children are born each year in the Americas and even more in Europe. Anyone who has ever experienced childlessness either directly or indirectly through a relative, extended family or friend is likely to appreciate the role surrogate mothers play in bringing succor to such families. To ostracize them and tag them ‘Baby Factories’ is most unfortunate indeed.”

i would gladly donate my
sperm.

OLOSHO.

His opinion stinks.

Just tell me how Jonathan wont be clueless when he surrounded him self with someone like dis


So because all oder culture embrasses it, we too shud? Okay

Is Omokri (Beaf) a real pastor or another 419er?

Are the abused girls used in the baby factories impregnated by their husbands? Does Omokri's kind of religion allow for willy nilly sex outside of wedlock resulting into multiple pregnancies for the purpose of making money? Does Omokri not realize that the baby factories in Nigeria do not get the girls pregnant by artificial insemination?

Shame on Omokri who, once again, stoops very low for cheap publicity.

is he igbo?

A pastor u call ur self yet you encouragimg formicationt


No wonder the oga was clueless

What a complete buffoon. Does surrogate motherhood include tricking/kidnapping under aged girls, and selling the baby on the market?

These lawless impunity loving PDP rats cannot stand the fresh air emanating from the wind of change, they can't wait to corrupt the atmosphere again.

It's so unfortunate this is coming from an elder stateman. Surrogacy is completely different from what is being practised in the "baby factories". In surrogacy, the couples are the biological parents of the child. It involves artificial insemination of the fertilized ovum into the womb of the carrier. It is backed by the law in some countries.

However, in "baby factories", it is a complete fraud!

The fact is that some people run the so called "baby factory" to commit all sorts of crime like selling the babies for ritual purpose.

In Nigeria we call it baby factories, in Europe they call it surrogacy. Reno is only preaching we regulate the sector so that childless couples can legally adopt unwanted children.
The factories would continue as long as we have childless couples, regulating the sector seems a better choice.

Am not surprised! Jonathan surrounded himself with brain-dead pidgeons like this asshole.

Really, am not surprised.

the only problem with this logic is there are already plenty of kids in need of adoption.

He should not confuse the baby factories we have here for surrogacy. It seems he has no idea of their modus operandi. He says he is a Pastor, he should provide us with Bible references to support his position.

Beaf has always been a daft noisemaker suited only for rabble rousing.

In the case of surrogate parents, a willing woman is implanted with the fertilized embryo of the couple. She is paid for this.

She is not trafficked, raaped, locked in a room for nine months, force-fed, and then have her child forcefully taken from her.

After this, rinse and repeat.

This is what you expect from an ss/se collaboration. Support of heinous behavior.

I hope someone informs the authorities of this Nigerian pastor endorsing the sexual exploitation of minors.

Next is beafs defense of selling fake drugs.
