FG To Share Contraceptive Pills/ Device To Women And Teenage Girls.

 

Contraceptive pills are birth control drugs and are very effective at preventing pregnancy if you take it exactly as you are supposed to – one pill a day, taken at the same time each day. 

Federal Government is to spend N915m on counterpart funding for the procurement of contraceptive commodities this year. The sum is part of the total sum of N31.bn allocated to the Federal Ministry of Health in the 2017 Appropriation Bill currently before the National Assembly. According to our source, the huge sum will be spent on contraceptives based on what government called 2016 forecast.

 

Federal government is taking this step to cube the impending population explosion of  Nigeria. From past forecast, Nigeria population will hit 200 million by 2020 and 433 million by 2050. This suggests that the Nigerian population will grow by roughly 263 million in the next 38 years. It is now roughly 180 million.

  The Federal Government, from my own view point, has a different angle to this. It soul aim is to lower the raising population of christian since it is against the norms of Muslims to use condom or contraceptive. The Muslims never believe in the use of  contraceptive and to them it against their religion. To Muslims it is wrong to mull a birth control law due to poverty when it is only God who can provide for his creatures.

 

 If you can recall in July 2012, the council of Ulamas in Gombe State kicked against the birth control law being considered by the former president Dr. Good-Luck Jonathan, describing it unacceptable. The chairman of the council, Sheikh Adam Hamza Abdulhamid, who spoke in Gombe during the N65million appeal fund launch to fund activities of the Jama'atul Izalatul Bid'ah waiqamatul sunnah (JIBWIS) in the state, promised to mobilize his colleagues against the law. He also called on the National Assembly then, to give the bill the same treatment they gave to the same sex marriage bill if it ever gets to them. 

 

Statistic from UNICEF shows that the ratio of Christians to Muslims who use condom/ contraceptive  are 10 to 1. This idea of the Federal Government to cube our population is a welcome development but should be targeted at the Muslims which will help in eliminating the Almajiri culture which  epitomizes child abuse, social exclusion and chronic poverty in all ramifications. 

 

The Almajiri grows up in the streets without the love, care and guidance of parents; his struggle for survival exposes him to abuse (homosexuality and pedophilia), used as a slave, brainwashed and recruited for anti-social activities and used for destructive and violent activities.
