Over 23% of pregnant Nigerian women insist on giving birth to
their children abroad.
Be it for show off or access to better medical service or dual
citizenship for the child, the number of Nigerians travelling
abroad for child birth is constantly on the increase. To a lot of
people, giving birth abroad especially in countries like US and
Canada is their way of securing their child's future and making
sure the child has the best of both worlds.
Women who wish to give birth abroad put a lot of things into
consideration. They have to first find out the cost of the
procedure, travelling and be sure they can afford it. They also
have to decide what county and state they will be giving birth in
and make visa arrangements in earnest. A lot of these women and
their families, however, are not aware that they will need a legal
backing to travel back to Nigeria with the newborn.
