You Can’t Distribute Condoms In School – Catholic Bishops
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria, CBCN, has criticised the “Gender and Equal Opportunities Bill” saying some of its content could “provide an avenue for the legalization of much anti-human life and anti-family activities.”

The clerics, in a communique at the end of their conference, also condemned the distribution of condoms and other contraceptive pills in schools.

“Whereas we acknowledge some legitimate rights due to women and the need to promote them, we, nevertheless, condemn the provisions of the “Gender and Equal Opportunities Bill,” which could provide an avenue for the legalisation of many anti-human life and anti-family activities. We therefore demand that such provisions be expunged from the Bill.

“Similarly, we condemn in unmistakable terms the indiscrete distribution of condoms and contraceptive pills in our schools, youth service orientation camps and private/government health institutions. No person, authority or institution has the right to terminate human life.”

They also demanded the immediate action of government to ensure adequate and even distribution of voter registration materials across the country.

The communique was issued at the end of the CBCN’s first plenary session for 2018 in Abuja.
The clerics also lamented what they described as reports of inadequate voter registration materials experienced in specific parts of the country.

Although the Catholic bishops did not state the region where the said report about poor voter registration materials allegedly emanated from, the conference regarded the situation as unfortunate. It also condemned recent reports of underage voting allegedly experienced in Kano State.

“Elections are around the corner. This process begins with the registration of voters, an exercise that has already started nationwide.

Reports reaching us from all over the nation indicate that in many places facilities for registration are not available, thus depriving many people of the right to register for voting. It is equally reported that such difficulty in registration often target certain segments of the community.

“Furthermore, we hear of the registration of underaged persons. It is quite unfortunate that our young people allow themselves to be used as canon fodders in electoral malpractices.

Government and especially Independent Electoral Commission (INEC), should address these serious lapses with utmost urgency and without discrimination and bias,” the statement signed by the former CBCN President, Ignatius Kaigama, and his team of officers said.

They don't share condoms in churches, yet fornication is the order of the day. From choir master shagging choristers to Pastors sleeping with the young girls in the church. Some are even bold enough to do it in hidden corners in the church.

Back to the topic,

I always knew the Catholic Church to be pro-life and strongly against most forms of artificial contraceptives with condom being the most practical and effective of them all. The downside to this is they are not considering the risk of giving birth to unwanted children and overpopulation issues, as they refuse to deliberate owing to religious practice.

The proposed natural contraceptive method while it's effective on paper, is actually quite rigid and mechanical and leads to unwanted pregnancy most of the time if not well practiced.

This is a very delicate topic.

NB: My opinion is purely targeted at married couples and not singles.

this is a "no-no"

there is need to imbibe the abstinence culture

that's an indirect way of saying that you can have sex, but let it be safe one. it's not that good at secondary school level.

This is not the Vatican.Religious leaders should stay clear from secular issues we need progressive views and leaders who have such ideologies.Your voice or displeasure doesn't matter what matters is whether or not the people support it.About INEC that is fair enough the chairman needs to beat jega record for free elections.

Religion keeps dragging us back.
If you don't share condoms in school, where is the best place to do it?
Tertiary institutions are the places with high level of kpanshing.

True. It promotes fornication.

What did they wonna protect??

Kia,ma boss ur head dey der.

Why can't I distribute condoms in schools?

No sense in this.
If you share condoms one bad boy will decieve one small girl to come so they can test it together if you know what i mean...
Sex education is better.

It wont.. the benefits include paving way for sex education in schools which will curb STIs and other things.

which is you in your dp?

hypocrites. students do it raw self

Rubbish.. too much holy holy is why this country is underdeveloped.. what's wrong if we start teaching them safe sex at an early age.. most of them already practice sex secretly.. i myself started fvcking at the age of 4.. that time no condom.. now imagine this period that condom should be necessity.
And even if they know about condoms already they won't have the mind to visit the pharmacy plus money no even dey to buy cos they will prefer to buy puff puff and sweets.. hence unsafe sex occurs and possible std.

agreed

Who want condom should go and buy condom.. Distributing it of charge to secondary and university students is very wrong..

They may choose to sell for 10 naira but it shouldn't be given forcefully free
