As the practice of assisted reproduction technology continues to gain ground, with more Nigerians embracing the In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment, SHEHU OLAYINKA beams his searchlight on a growing trend of young undergraduate girls engaging in indiscriminate donation of their reproductive eggs for money.

WHEN Bimpe Adeola (not real name) saw the stress on her roommates’ face as she returned from the clinic, she promised herself not to ever engage in what they had just done.

“Though they were only sick for two days, we all just stopped talking about it and no one ever mentioned it again,” Bimpe recalls.

Bimpe is an undergraduate student in one of the leading government-owned universities in Southern Nigeria. Two of her course-mates had just exchanged their reproductive eggs for money.

“The egg-selling business is booming in my school; students are engaging in it and it is because of the money” she tells The Nation.

Bimpe got to know of the ‘new’ business when two of her classmates sold their reproductive eggs to a fertility clinic for One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Naira (N120,000).

However, when this reporter began discussing with Bimpe, showing her findings about egg sales, requirements and the mental/health implications, she expressed huge doubts about whether they were made known to them.

Just to donate egg 120k and sick for two days.

It's a win win situation because that egg will eventually pass out as waste.
