The UNICEF in Nigeria has been doing a lot for the protection and welfare of underprivileged children in Africa's most populous country where thousands of minors are victims of human traffickers who are trafficking the most vulnerable underprivileged girls from the neighbouring countries to be used as .housemaids and street hawkers exposed to daily dangers and threats to their lives. But the federal government of Nigeria and state governments are doing nothing to stop the horrifying human trafficking of the underprivileged girls from the villages in the country and the neighbouring countries. In fact, many senior government officials and other civil servants, including law enforcement agents violate the Child Rights Act in Nigeria.
In 2003, Nigeria adopted the Child Rights Act to domesticate the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Children's Rights Act 2003 (CRA) was created to serve as a legal documentation and protection of Children rights and responsibilities in Nigeria.

Encouraging child trafficking under the guise of recruiting domestic workers — The Guardian Nigeria Newspaper –
Asked if the girls are sent to school, she answered in the negative, saying “that is not part of our arrangement. I only agree to feed her and pay her salary, schooling or vocational training is not my business.”
She lamented that the agents always change the girls often so as to keep collecting agency fee.

The worst offenders are unfortunately, the so called believers and followers of Christianity and Islam, the two major religions with the largest populations in Nigeria claiming to be "Christians" and "Muslims", but fail to practice the tenets of Christianity and Islam.
Anyone who attacks and maltreats any child is evil and wicked. And we must not spare such an evil doer. We must attack the evil doer and save the child no matter the circumstances of the birth.
No child asked to be born to suffer.
Every child is your child as every child is my child.
Anyone who does not care for, love and treat every child as precious gift of God does not know Almighty God and such an evil person does not have any relationship with God no matter how many times the person quotes from the Holy Bible or Holy Quran and no matter how many times the evil doer goes to the church or mosque. Such an evil and wicked person has no relationship with Almighty God who said that whosoever does not love his or her fellow human as oneself does not love God, because if you cannot love the person you can see, how can you love the God you cannot see as it is written in1 John 4:20:
"If anyone says, "I love God," but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen."
