How can a human being sell and force a fellow human being into prostitution?? Even animals can't do such. It's disheartening.
Where are all the bvs that always insult edos when human trafficking/ prostitution topic is brought up? I said it before that every tribe in Nigeria does this, it is because edo is a small state and the bigger states love to pick on
