Human trafficking is a canker worm, eating into the heart of Edo State. Her people, most especially the young girls are
being sold like cheap goods to whomever is willing to buy. They are led like animals to the slaughter, without a care for
their welfare or future. These young people, some as little as 12 years are brainwashed into thinking that there is a pile
of money waiting for them outside the shores of their country, outside the safety of their homes. And without prope
guidance or supervision, are sent away in ships to other parts of the world to be used for hard labour and prostitution.

It is so appalling to note that even in such an age of civilization, and an era of technology, barbaric practices such as
slavery, are still being practiced.
Children are sold like common animals, like pieces of meat in the market. This is unacceptable in every way!
This platform I believe is one family and I believe that if steemians should rise up with one voice, and show support
towards eradicating such misconduct, it would indeed be a great contribution, to the people of Nigeria and to the
world at large.
As for Edo State in particular, the trafficking is being carried out by a powerful cartel which has connections both at
home and abroad. This cartel has been and is still engaged in a battle with the Edo State Government. Steemit as of
now, is reaching far and wide to several countries and continents, in different walks of life, we have people in
governments, schools, immigration, Let us use this platform and this opportunity to empower and sensitize people
against this issue and hopefully, either large or small scale, we will make our own case against such evil practices.
