FATHERHOOD

               I became a father one dusty, quiet harmattan morning precisely on February 17^th 1998. I was going on thirty, and as my wife was led into the labor room I felt a surge of inexplicable pride, little did I know the events that would unfold; that I would experience a turnaround in my spiritual existence never occurred to me.

               Nothing had prepared me for the admixture of trauma and joy I experienced that morning. Felicia never complained about any excessive abdominal pain nor was there any warning from the doctor that the birth would be difficult. I was awakened around 3:00 am in the morning by the sounds of Felicia groaning and holding her lower waist. As I rushed to take her to the hospital different emotions swirled through my body. I was happy that the baby is finally on its way and panicky because I kept worrying about everything going wrong. In fact; I worried because I thought things were going wrong. In my frenzied state of mind I kept her in the car, got in, and slammed the door shut before I realized I had left the ignition key in the house. I opened the door dashed in and was out running in no time. I started the car and put my leg to the gas pedal. Thankfully the streets were deserted as it usually does at that time in the morning. I sped along the highway and made it to the hospital under five minutes.

Six out of 10 people who are trafficked to the West are Nigerians. PREMIUM TIMES investigative reporter, Tobore Ovuorie, was motivated by years of research into the plight of trafficked women in the country, as well as the loss of a friend, to go undercover in a multi-billion dollar criminal enterprise. She emerged, bruised and beaten but thankfully alive, after witnessing orgies, big money deals in jute bags, police-supervised pickpocketing, beatings and even murder. This is her story.
