Nigerian ladies have devised another survival strategy by getting pregnant for childless couples for a fee.
These ladies, called surrogate mothers, have even taken to the internet to advertise themselves to couples who are desperately in need of children.
Surrogacy is a process whereby willing ladies are contacted by either couples or fertility clinics to help carry pregnancies on behalf of childless couples.
It often happens where married women find it difficult getting pregnant or where they have issues with their wombs.
Through medical science, a couple’s sperm and egg are collected and fertilised and then implanted into the surrogate mother who in-turn carries the pregnancy till it is due for delivery. The surrogate mother may then be flown out of the country or kept away from prying eyes and monitored till she is delivered of the baby.
