<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>CALIFORNIA, USA - A former Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri, has expressed displeasure over crackdown on "baby factories" in the country, saying the practice should be allowed by government.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Omokri, the founder of the Mind of Christ Christian Centre in California, said calling the practice "baby factory" is stigmatization as it should be called "surrogate motherhood".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Every civilized nation accepts and promotes this practice as a humane option for childless couples," he said an opinion article sent to <a href="http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/188066-reno-omokri-breaks-silence-wants-baby-factories-allowed.html">PREMIUM TIMES</a> Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Omokri, a pastor, wondered why Nigeria did not legalize a practice that brings succour to childless couple.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I have been appalled reading about the raids on so called 'Baby Factories' in the media lately. These raids are a throwback to the Salem Witch Trials and I cannot believe that in Nigeria of the 21st Century we are stigmatizing what is an acceptable world wide culture that has brought hope to childless couples all over the world," he said in the article.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The former presidential aide continued: </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
For the avoidance of doubt, these women are surrogate mothers who have children for childless couples. Every civilized nation accepts and promotes this practice as a humane option for childless couples. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
The main reason many childless couples prefer a surrogate mother is because they want to know about the family history and genetics of the mother of their unborn child. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
In many cases, when you adopt a child without knowing who the parents are and there arises a need in future for a blood transfusion or an organ donor, many adoptive parents get stuck. Other medical issues like cancer, or behavioral issues like autism and ADD/ADHD are better diagnosed and treated if you have family history, which is not possible with anonymous adoptions. So, the idea of surrogate motherhood fills this gap. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
In Europe and the Americas as well as in Asia, surrogate mothers are well sought after and advertisements are placed in bus stations, newspapers, on the underground as well as on the Internet seeking out such women. I have included one such advert in this piece. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Tens of thousands of surrogate children are born each year in the Americas and even more in Europe. Anyone who has ever experienced childlessness either directly or indirectly through a relative, extended family or friend is likely to appreciate the role surrogate mothers play in bringing succor to such families. To ostracize them and tag them 'Baby Factories' is most unfortunate indeed.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>BELO HORIZONTE, BRASIL - A mother was left stunned when her ten-year-old daughter gave birth - hours after complaining of a stomach ache at school.</b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Teachers at the child's school took her to hospital where she was found to be seven months pregnant and already in late stages of labour.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The child gave birth normally and she and the baby, born two months premature, are being cared for in the hospital's neonatal unit, according to reports.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The girl and her family, from Belo Horizonte, southeast Brazil, claim they had no idea she was pregnant.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Following the birth last Tuesday, she revealed to her mother that she had been abused by her stepfather, who has since left the home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The mother later reported the abuse to police, who arrested the ex-stepfather, aged 40, who reportedly confessed the crime.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to police, the girl's mother said that her daughter started to struggle at school and become more introverted from October last year. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Police chief Capt. Castro, from Belo Horizonte's 61st Military Police Battalion, said that the mother hadn't noticed her daughter's growing belly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: "The mother alleges that she, along with other family members, hadn't noticed, taking into consideration the child's small frame."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The girl told police that her ex-stepfather would threaten to kill her mother and brother if she ever told about the abuse.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He has been charged with rape of a child and illegal possession of firearms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>KEDAH, MALAYSIA - This must be the most touching love story of all times as a 101-year old woman has spent her entire life taking care of her 63 years old disabled son.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Malaysian mother, Madam Meliah Diah, may be 101 years old and very weak, but that does not stop her from looking after her 63-year-old disabled son, Abdul Rahman Saud.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to <i><b>Harian Metro</b></i>, the widow who is now seen as an epitome of motherhood, has stayed faithful and true to her youngest son all on her own after her husband died 22 years earlier, <b><a href="http://pulse.ng/gist/a-mothers-love-meet-the-101-yr-old-woman-who-has-been-taking-care-of-her-63-yr-old-disabled-son-id3951264.html">Pulse.ng</a></b> reports.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She feeds him, bathes him, cleans up after he stools and manages to roll him out for some sunshine everyday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The report adds that each morning, Madam Meliah bathes Rahman on the veranda of their wooden house in Bukit Nambua, Kedah. She then feeds him and they both spend the day there before going into the house in the evening.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Diah told the Metro:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The seizures he suffered as a child caused him to be like this. He can only lie on his front and move about bit by bit. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He loves to eat fried chicken rice. We only have each other. I hope I don't die before him because there would be nobody to take care of him.</div>
