Curled from Punch newspaper
The International Labour Organisation has said over half a million Nigerians are victims of forced labour. The ILO Global Estimate of Forced Labour 2012 stated that three out of every 1,000 persons are in forced labour at any given point in time. About 21 million people worldwide are victims.
The figure for Nigeria, is based on the 167 million population estimate of the National Population Commission, but does not include Nigerians who are trafficked abroad for various forms of forced labour.
According to the report, 90 per cent of the victims are exploited by private individuals and enterprises, while 10 per cent are forced to work by the state, rebel military groups or in prisons under conditions which violate fundamental ILO standards.
It also stated that sexual exploitation accounts for 22 per cent of all victims and labour exploitation makes up 68 per cent of the total.
Please I don't think I agree with all this international news about Nigeria jare,why is it that its only Nigeria they rate in everything bad?What of Ghana,South Africa,Egypt?They talk about sex and say our women are the most unfaithful,they talk about excreting in the open they say we are the best,talk of anything bad they choose us as the top sample. The bad thing is that WE HELP THEM TO BROADCAST IT. Even if I don't know anything I know that what ever damage we do by helping other countries to damage our reputation,IT WILL LIVE WITH US. Ohun ani lan gbe laruge,eba mi gbe naija laruge ohun ani langbe laruge!God bless Nigeria!
