We can make this planet a better place by making better decisions. And by the better decision I mean STOP IT cos in human trafficking, it's killing our people.

Human trafficking is one of these habits that should be stopped and it is an evil business which involves the exploitation of people, usually children.

There are many ways this is done, like kidnapping people and locking them in a secret room. It also involves the exploitation of people in other ways, like forced prostitution, begging, and illegal adoption.

The people who engage in these activities are called traffickers and they have a great influence on us all, especially on the young generation. According to the survey, over 800000 people are being trafficked every day. Many of them are children.

Africans are supposed to be the richest not by what we have but by wisdom and knowledge. We should be the first people to speak up against human trafficking to prevent its progress in Africa. Being an African, I would like to say no to human trafficking. Let's fight against it together.

It's a shame that human beings are exchanging people for money and it's even more shameful that this is happening in our communities. No matter where you're from, what colour you are and what school you went to, we all have the power to stop shame in our communities by saying no to human trafficking.

What is it?

Human Trafficking is when humans are being exploited for any sort of gain.

Human Trafficking has been going on for years. Many people that are slaves are forced, tricked and threatened into sex work, domestic labour, drug smuggling, and more.

In the most recent report on human trafficking in Nigeria, it was reported that over 80% of human trafficking victims are girls and women. The NAPTIP has estimated that 2 million children in Nigeria have been involved in child labour, out of which about half of them are involved in sexual exploitation as victims of s*x trafficking.

S*x, pornography, drug abuse, alcohol, smoking and other immoralities have affected the soul of man to do the most shameful act on earth. Human trafficking and slavery is the concern of our time. Many girls in different parts of the world are under slavery and they are forced into prostitution.

The media should play its role to promote more awareness to stop these things.

We have to educate our children not just by saying them but we have to show them many things that can bring shame to us all. It's useless bringing them to the mountain and then bringing them down. There are so many activities that we need to stop doing for the good of our souls.

This should be of concern to all law-abiding citizens because the fight against it is not only a battle for the future of our children but also the fight against many other social ills that have plagued our nation. Some have compared it to slavery and said slavery must never be allowed to happen again in our nation. Human trafficking is just as evil and we have to put an end to it.

if you are a Nigerian, you are not allowed to be silent cos it's happening in your land, if you are a Ghanaian you too cant be silent cos it's happening there too and if you are a Cameroonian you too can't be silent cos it's happening within your boundary. It's a global issue that requires a global solution which means we all must embrace the campaign against it and make sure it is stopped here in Nigeria.

Human trafficking is happening in our neighbourhood. It's the fastest-growing criminal trade in the world and right now, black women are the fastest-growing group of people that are being trafficked. A girl is likely to be sold as a s*x slave between the ages of 12-14. That's a fact. And there's no way we can be silent about it.

Human trafficking is a serious and increasingly reported crime around the world. In 2016 alone, there were over 8,000 cases reported in over 100 countries. The United States consistently ranks as the number one country for human trafficking, so it's an issue that affects us all.

We need to stop human trafficking cos it brings shame and curses to us all.

We need to stop the killing of our people cos it brings shame and curses to us all.

We need to stop the abuse of women cos it brings shame and curses on us all.

We need to stop the drug abuse cos it brings shame and curses to us all.

We need to stop the abuse of our people in our homes cos it's bringing shame and curses to us all.

We need to stop the corruption in high places cos it brings shame and curses to us all.

We need to stop the killing of one another in our own communities cos it brings shame and curses to us all.

This article came to me when my neighbour came out to inform us about a particular person that we are familiar with that got involved in that crime. I was so angry and I had to write about it. Thanks for reading, I really appreciate your time, let's endeavour to take a bold step today and beat down this crime.

Bye for now 🥰🥰🥰.

I also have a friend that was trafficked to Libya a few years ago. I feel her pain because whenever she talks about it, it makes her sad all the time. It's becoming more rampant in our society and l think creating awareness about it will enlighten people on the effects

This is really a serious issue but our leaders are less concerned about it since they are not affected
