Advert enquiry
A Nigerian woman, Ugwuagbo Nkemdilim, has expressed concern after she witnessed a young girl carry heavy a gallon of water up to the third floor of a building over 15 times daily.
According to her, the task has been the child's daily routine since she moved to the area two months ago.
Nkemdilim noted that she was particularly disturbed by the size of gallon, especially given that several adults live in the apartment.
She advised parents to only give birth to the number of children they can afford to care for.
However, if parents must send their children to live with guardians, she advised them to ensure the minors are not exploited or overworked.
“I watched this girl carry this gallons of water more than 15 times to the 3rd floor of that upstairs and this is her daily routine since almost 2 months am here. My main concern is that the gallon is way bigger than her and the people she is staying with have older people in the house,” she wrote in a Facebook post on Friday, October 16, 2026.“Dear parents please give birth to children you can train and while at that please even if you will allow your children to stay with anybody make sure who the person is. I don’t know why some married people are this wicked shall.”
