Over 200 Nigerian men have reportedly expressed their interest in sperm donation after a call for a sperm donor was posted by Benue humanitarian, Ukan Kurugh.
The call, made on Thursday, February 1, offered a financial reward of N900,000 for the donation and has sparked widespread attention.
Ukan Kurugh, known for his humanitarian efforts, expressed his surprise and concern in a post on Friday, pointing out the economic hardships people in the country are facing.
He noted that the overwhelming response to the sperm donation request shows the extent to which Nigerians are willing to go to secure financial stability in the current harsh economy.
The humanitarian went on to acknowledge the unfortunate reality that people are resorting to selling whatever assets they can to make ends meet.
He wrote;
“It’s obvious that people are suffering in this country and will do anything to get money,’ he wrote in a post on Friday.
“The post I made about sperm donation has finish my inbox with over 210 people waiting for address/location. When women are donating eggs, it’s the men that usually come hard on them but men are gradually taking over.
“The sad reality is people can sell whatever possible to keep life going for them. It’s indeed sad and we can only hope for the better with the sad situation of the economy right now.”
