In a distressing video currently circulating on social media, a young mother was seen in a heart-wrenching moment as she allegedly tried to trade her five-month-old baby for an Android phone, alongside a pair of shoes, clothes, and some money to feed herself.
The video, which has sparked outrage and concern across various online platforms, captures bystanders questioning the woman as she confessed her intention to make the desperate exchange. Her reasoning remains unclear, but many have speculated that the ongoing economic crisis in Nigeria, which has left millions struggling to afford basic necessities, may have driven her to such an extreme and tragic decision.

While details about the woman’s background and the circumstances leading to her actions are still emerging, social media users are expressing shock and disbelief.

In a country where inflation and unemployment continue to rise, stories of hardship are all too common. However, the notion of a mother feeling compelled to trade her child for basic commodities has deeply unsettled viewers.
As the video continues to make rounds online, calls for intervention from government authorities and social welfare organizations have intensified. People are urging for immediate support to the mother and the child, as well as long-term solutions to alleviate the growing economic hardship affecting vulnerable populations across the nation.
