Ukan Kurugh, a Benue-based humanitarian, finds himself inundated with requests from "over 210" men expressing interest in sperm donation for financial gain. The unexpected surge in inquiries comes after Kurugh's recent post on social media, where he highlighted the urgent need for a sperm donor in Abuja, offering a substantial payment of 900K.
Reflecting on the overwhelming response, Kurugh expressed astonishment and concern about the depths of economic hardship gripping the nation. "It's obvious that people are suffering in this country and will do anything to get money," he remarked in a post on Friday, underscoring the grim reality faced by many Nigerians.
Kurugh's initial call for a sperm donor quickly escalated into a deluge of inquiries, highlighting the extent to which individuals are willing to go to alleviate financial strain. In a society where traditional gender roles often dictate expectations, Kurugh noted a shift in dynamics, with men now increasingly willing to step forward for such opportunities.
"The sad reality is people can sell whatever possible to keep life going for them," Kurugh lamented, acknowledging the harsh economic realities confronting Nigerians. Despite the somber outlook, Kurugh remained hopeful for improvement amid the challenging economic climate.
The surge in interest in sperm donation underscores the dire economic circumstances facing many Nigerians, prompting a broader conversation about the need for sustainable solutions to address systemic issues. As Kurugh grapples with the overwhelming response, the underlying message remains clear: desperation knows no bounds in the face of economic hardship.
