After she refused to’sell’ the baby to him, a Chinese man abandons a Nigerian woman with whom he became pregnant in Sagamu.
A compelling story takes place in Sagamu, a historic town in Nigeria. An expatriate from China whose life was entwined with a native Nigerian woman experienced a whirlwind of desire that had an unforeseen result: pregnancy.
A confluence of cultures, their love tale sparked flames that could light up the night sky. But as the woman’s tummy grew larger with the hope of a new child, fate took an odd turn. To bring their special child into the world, she clung to her pregnancy.
The infant emerged on the day of reckoning, a fascinating fusion of two universes. The infant was a living proof of their love—or perhaps lust—with remarkable physical characteristics like those of the Chinese father.
Nevertheless, as fate would have it, the plot takes a tragic turn. The man’s startling choice was the result of being torn between two homelands. The mother fiercely rejected his offer to pay a certain amount of money to buy the baby.
Tragically, he left the woman and their wonderful child behind before returning to his far-off country.
As rumours of this enthralling tale circulate throughout Shagamu, sympathies for the abandoned mother and her one-of-a-kind child are felt yet doubts about the true nature of love and the ramifications of a cross-border love story remain.
The mother and her toddler were seen in public on an online video. The video has the following caption:
This young woman was sexually assaulted by a Chinese immigrant somewhere along the Sagamu-Abeokuta motorway. When it came time for him to leave for his country, the relationship was blissful up until that point, when he insisted that she “sell” the kid to him or else he wouldn’t be able to support himself. He has chosen to separate mother and child after she declined to sell the baby.
