Fodder

‘Fodder’ questions the notion encapsulated in the Yoruba adage “Ko ma dabi ejo to koja lori apata ti ko nipa” which often sees children as long-term investments expected to yield profit in one way or the other. This piece highlights how this innocent belief can also lead to dehumanising and harmful outcomes.
