Cleric’s Wife Warns Women Against Promoting Child Trafficking

Mrs Martha Ibezim, the wife of the Anglican Archbishop, Province of the Niger in Awka Diocese, Most Revd. Alexander  Ibezim, has called on women to shun any activity that would promote girl child trafficking.
Ibezim made this appeal in an interview with The Tide’s source in Awka yesterday.
She urged women to be mindful of the activities of their children, more importantly the  girl child as girl child trafficking had become the order of the day.
“It is an abominable act that must be checked by women, all mothers to ensure that they do not engage or encourage such act of inhuman activity against a girl child,” she said.
Ibezim said such act would be curtailed if not eradicated when women resolved to play their active role of home building entrusted into their hands by God as mothers and nation builders.
“Materialism must come last in our list of nation building by prioritising grooming of our children and tending of our husbands,” Ibezim said.
She reminded women of their role as women within and outside the home, as a sacred duty given to them by God, which must not fall below expectation.
Ibezim said that women from all the 17 Archdeaconries in Awka Diocese must be very vigilant in these last days, where  craze for materialism was fast taking over the homes
