  Pero is a young woman who breastfed her father Cimon, after he was sentenced to death by starvation. During the reign of Louis XIV (1643—1715), Cimon was sentenced to death by starving for thieving a loaf of bread. Pero was both the only daughter and the only one allowed to visit him. She was allowed to visit Cimon daily, but she was thoroughly searched so that no food was taken in. However, after four months of imprisonment, Cimon was still alive and didn't even lose weight. This puzzled the authorities and they decided to investigate the possible reasons for this. After spying on Pero, they were surprised to find her breastfeeding her father to the fullest with her breast milk. She was sued, subsequently, but upon realizing the extent of her love and compassion towards her father, the judge's heart was softened and they decided to pardon the father and set him free.

Nollywood actress, Nse Ikpe-Etim, has said she felt inadequate as a woman when she found out she could not bear children of her own. The 47-year-old thespian said this in a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo. Recall that Nse had earlier disclosed she had to undergo hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) to have a life again after she was diagnosed with adenomyosis. “Finding out I couldn’t have children didn’t make me feel ashamed. I felt inadequate. I felt inadequate as a woman but not ashamed, which was because of how I was brought up. Where I’m from we don’t tie shame to ourselves. Where I was brought up, we live through life fully,” she said. Asked if she is open to adoption, Nse said: “You never say never, but right now, my husband and I are just dog parents. People should be allowed to live, my husband and I are okay right now.” #thenigeriangirlchild
