Mr Kalu Ekene, a lawyer, has lamented that the procedure of donating a sperm is stressful, and when compared with the money being offered, it is a waste of time.
According to him, one may have to pay more on medical tests than the money paid.
“The procedure is ridiculous. I was told I will be paid N150,000 for each donation, but this will be after I have successfully fulfilled all medical requirement.
“I must and undergo medical examination and test negative to HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, sickle cell and some other sexually transmitted diseases.
“The money for the test and check up was more than what I will be paid, I found it being time wasted. Sperm bankers in Nigeria, should work on the payment,” Ekene said.

This is as a cross section of men in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) said that sperm donation business in the country was not lucrative.
Speaking in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja, they said that the business was less profitable in Nigeria, when compared to other countries.
Sperm donation offers a tidy solution to an aggravating problem.
When a person or a couple wants a baby and needs a different ingredient than what they have to make one, a man with viable sperm swoops in to help.
The process is viewed as a seamless way to create a family.
