The need for sexuality education.

        Adolescence is a time when young people are learning a great deal about themselves and adjusting to a rapid change in the body. During early adolescence, many experience a new uncertainty happening to them. As they mature, some feel confused about what they are supposed to do in a variety of situations; including making sense of evolving relationships with family and peers, coping with new sexual feelings, trying to assess conflicting messages about who they are and what is expected of them. Young people need sexual education that model and teach positive self-worth, responsibility, understanding and acceptance of diversity and sexual health. They need to be assured to develop a positive sense of their own sexuality by creating opportunities for them to consider all aspects of sexualities ; to ask questions and to understand that there are adults, who support them and they learn about this themselves. Understanding the elements of one's sexuality is a life along process. It involves acquiring information and information activities and values about identity, relationships and intimacy. Adequate attention has not been given to the adolescent reproductive health, despite the fact that recent data has shown that age menarche (onset menstruation) is dropping, there is early initiation of sexual activities; there is high incidence of teenage pregnancy, and teenager's account for 80%  of unsafe abortion treated in hospitals however documented evidence shows that there has been a breakdowns for other social-cultural norms, values, and practice that serve as heck to premarital sexuality activity.
     Although we see sexuality around us everyday, sex education for adolescence remain a controversial issue. Surveys conducted nationally shows that parents, who ought to be primary sexuality educators of their children and communicate to them specific values about sexuality, play the least role in this area.
   Parents always teach your children what they ought to know about sexuality before it is too late.

Neglected Cause of men's impotency.

WHERE ARE MY MEN?🤷‍♂️ STOP BOILING YOUR SPERM In one of our training sessions yesterday, the facilitator collected a Nokia torch hand set with fully charged battery. He brought a fresh egg. Then he puts the egg and the handset together and place them into a polythene bag. He tied the bag and told us to call the phone number ...Calling …Calling ...Busy ...Busy. When the battery is drained down, he gave the phone to the owner and cracked the egg. Behold the egg was cooked!!.. done!!!. We were surprised and asked for the explanation. He told us that every handset emits electromagnetic rays. That it was the rays that was responsible for cooking of that egg. He also said that for device to be named ” hand set ” by international bodies is not by accident. He said that it is never a pocket set. He went on to say that males (men) have egg resemblance in between their legs…scrotum. He admonished men to stop putting their hand set in their pockets, but to hold on hand. If you cont...

Follow your Dreams!.

Follow your dreams! Refuse to get moved by what people think or say about you. People around you may think you are not doing anything to better your life. Does it matter what people around you say or think? For the fact that your plans are kept away from people doesn't mean you are not taking the right steps in living your dreams. Hear me out! Don't give ears to their advice. They have no idea how mighty your dreams are. They can't see beyond the present. They fail to see what you see. They know not that big dreams require big plans. They have no idea that the foundation that is being laid for a bungalow is different from the one for a skyscraper. Keep moving forward. Pursue your dreams according to plans. Don't get derailed by those side talks. Only you know the good life you've imagined. Go confidently in its direction. Don't let anyone mess up with your plans. The outcome of your plans will amaze the world. You deserve more than what people...

..."I am most grateful to God for sparing me, my wife and children, the bride, her family members and other church Members that was with me over the night". The pastor said while giving a charge in the church. "They took away everything; money, phones, laptops, wines, etc but thank God they didn't touch anybody, otherwise what would people say?. Just a night to the wedding the bride was raped or killed?. I won't by now be standing before you all. He said and continued in the sermon boastfully. ..Everyone is taking photo happily but this bride's maid isolated herself & appeared so pessimistic. So l.. To be continued...
