It is a case of parenting. Many parents today are immature, childish and themselves also need training. Religious institutions ought to step in a correct this social milieu or else it will be the end of this generation. Virginity needs to be brought back to the center of marriages and intimate relationships. Religious institutions need to start emphasizing it as a requirement for weddings. We need to stop liberalizing everything and understand that there are some rules that should not be broken because when they are broken the consequences could be catastrophic. Imagine a 16 year old going for family planning. Complete madness. [/b]If that girl was informed that the moment she loses her virginity her chances of getting married would fall from 95% to 5% she will discipline herself and keep her sexual purity.[b] This would also completely eliminate the incidence of "side-chicry". Imagine the stupid mother. Like mother like daughter. She has passed ancestral/generational curse to her daughter and now she is seeking family planning for a 16 year old.






@the Bolded you are wrong....She will always get the fact of this statement on the internet..Proper sex education is better & the consequences of premarital sex with Life experience illustration can be emphasized all the time in Homes, schools or public gatherings..
Parents equally need to be ready to provide all their spiritual,physical & emotional needs.Their Lifestyle & Education could be designed in a regimented way so that they can graduate Early enough for them to start making an informed choices consequences of which would be cleared to them.

Madness. I blame the churches and families that accept to make wives out of hoes. They will ask for genotype, blood group test and pregnancy test but they will not ask if the couples, especially the lady is sexually pure as a precondition for the solemnization of a marriage. Then when the couples start having sexually related issues in their marriage they will start rubbishing the marriage institution instead of calling out the fools that joined two misfits in an unholy matrimony. If every clergyman and every family enforced the virginity of ladies before marriage, this foolish mother will not allow her daughter have sex before marriage let alone going as far as recommending family planning for an underage girl and even the girl will never try any sexual nonsense knowing fully well she would be jeopardizing her chances of getting married. This will elevate the punishment for rape to capital punishment and will make rape victims easily prove their case.

I feel like insulting you but I won't even waste my time!!
Look here you mysogynistic fellow, Marriage involves two people so what ever ridiculous measures, methods or advice you have should go for both the man and the woman not just the woman!!!! Enough with the bias please!

A woman who had ALL her children out of wedlock CANNOT be a good mother, what exactly will she teach her children? undecided...

Can she be a good role model to her daughter's - Chasity wise?? undecided....

Can she boldly tell her kids that they shouldn't engage in premarital se.x? undecided...

And I wouldn't be surprised if she's a single mother, na their way be that undecided...

Because they wouldn't be a masculine figure in that girls life and this shit is happening undecided...

Like a 16year old will look at the masculine figure in her life (father) and say "I want to attend my boyfriend's father's birthday", them no born am well! grin...

And the mother is saying she doesn't want the same for her child, if she really mean that, then she ought be have closed her legs and not have ALL her children out of wedlock...

She ought to have shunned her daughter from ANY intimate relationship with ANYONE,but no!!

She's allowing someone who isn't an adult to take decisions that could potentially ruin her future - what a mother! undecided....

Too much liberalism have brought us to this point...

Someone who don't know what it means to be a wife or mother is potentially busy having se.x upandan undecided...

Someone who can't even wipe her own as.s properly is allowed to jump from one Pole to the other undecided...

Someone who can't even take care of herself is given a leeway to start sleeping around undecided...

And yet the woman is saying "I don't want the same for my daughter", mtttttwwwwwwwww undecided...

Make she just prepare for history to repeat itself... An overwhelming number of children of single.mothers end up become single mothers themselves - numbers don't lie, make we dey wait undecided....
As a matter of fact she is in the best position to counsel her little girl(s) because she experienced it first hand. Mistakes don't make people. It's what u do after that matters because we all have our different shortcomings. From her actions it's obvious she means we'll for her child and probably doing better than a lot of parents who shy away from such discussions with their teenage girls. She is doing well so far. Try not to judge too quickly based on people's past mistakes

Sir...
Children don't learn from what you say, they learn from what they see you do undecided...

And if she indeed does mean well for her daughter like you say...

Then she ought to stop her daughter from being involved with a guy in this manner...

She allowing her daughter to go for family planning at 16 could give the impression that she's giving her daughter the leeway to have sex...

You'll agree with me that the biggest deterrent to a bad action is consequences...

Once consequences are removed, what's to stop a child from carrying out the act?

This happened in a well known family planning facility. We thought the young lady was lying until we asked for her mother's number and put a call through.
According to her, her daughter has a boyfriend and the boyfriend's father will soon celebrate his 70th birthday, she's not going to be there and she doesn't know how far the daughter has gone or will go with the boyfriend. She also said, she had all her children out of wedlock and she doesn't want same for her daughter, so she requested for her daughter to be counseled and a method chosen if necessary.

Just in case you're not aware, the Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria (PPFN) has extended it services to both singles and underage so far they're sexually active..

What are your thoughts on this topic?


I don't see anything wrong with a 16 year old being on family planning. After all the age of consent in many countries is 16. I don't see how this is such a big deal that it should be on the news.
In my opinion, sex should never be seen as something that is bad, dirty, shameful or immoral but just as a normal and healthy part of life and living. There's nothing wrong with sex as long as it's safe and consensual.

Abstinence is the best. That is godly approach. Worldly approach is the root of decay in society as most criminals are products of unstable families. Most of children borne out of wedlock are nuisance to society.

Nobody is saying abstinence is not the best.
We all know that's the best and that has been the advice even before you were born.
Has that stopped abortions or hookups?
If anything at all, it's increasing.
If that's not a viable option, why not go for the next best thing to prevent unwanted pregnancies? Or you would rather they abort instead of contraception?
Even if the mother refuses abortion, the 16 year old girl with no money or access to good healthcare will rather go to a quack where she may end up dead.
A dead child or one on contraception? Choose your poison.

Yea kids pick up what they see u do around them. We don't know if she's living right or wrong or are u judging her by her having kids out of wedlock?

I understand consequences but then harsh realities probably influenced her options. It's also better she exposes her to sex education at least if she's not going to be chaste she should know what she's getting into.

At 16 girls are already into guys and sex so and now there's internet it's easier to connect with like minds from the confines of her room even without leaving the house. So her decision to enlighten the girl ain't all that bad if u ask me.

1. Sir...
A mother who gets scared to the point where she's pushed to suggest family planning for a 16year old girl prolly knows she didn't do a very good job raising, don't you think so? undecided...

From the write up, one can infer that she suggesting family planning for her daughter wasn't because of any se.x education of some sort, it is out of something called "damage control" undecided...

It's more like she's trying to mitigate risk, that's how I see it undecided...

2. I don't think se.x education should include phoning the nurse to give your permission for family planning for your daughter undecided...

Teach your kids about se.x... yes
Tell them it's consequence... Yes
But calling a nurse to give permission? Nahhhh... That's overboard if you ask me undecided...

The point is within the last 40 years, not only have Nigerians gotten more religious, but equally more depraved as a society and Nation. So, suggesting the preaching of your many mogs and pastors have had positive impact on existence in Nigeria amounts to wearing blinders during a terrible storm while at the same time proclaiming the weather is gorgeous. undecided

Dude, she probably knew her daughter is sexually active, hence the reason she did what she did. Or you want to be doing virginity test for your daughter every now and then? Do you know the impact of that on a teenager's psychological and mental health? Same religious parents that will tell a female child that a touch will get her pregnant?? I mean, these kids can get whatever information about pregnancy and anything online and your bullshit lies will be GIGO!

As a parent, all you can do is guide your kids right from onset so as for them to be chaste at teenage years. Even if you are a cleric of a religious organisation, that your daughter might still end up having sex as a teenager and you still won't know! It's all about good parenting, not religion!

Beautiful piece!

Godly approach is not the same thing as r eligious approach. What God wants from you is simple. Abstinence is the best approach. Nothing can change that.
Children from dysfunctional homes are nuisance to society. They are evils who even influence Children from good homes. Take 10 thugs/armed robbers/cultists/prostitutes, 9 are from dysfunctional homes. The most important cause of dysfunctional home is sexual immorality.

Mere mortals can not be wiser than his creator in deciding what is good and bad.

1. Read your Bible well to meaning of sexual immorality.

Ermm let the bolded be virginity of both boy and the girl that are to be married.



Let me mention my green font friend Richy.4

I don't understand how people think policing one sex on an activity that involves both sexes makes sense & would work.

Every heterosexual man sleeps with a woman. Every heterosexual adulterous husband sleeps with a woman.

If every man thinks it is ok to have multiple sexual partners in/outside marriage, I don't understand how they expect sexual purity/ virginity from the women.

It is either men & women zip up or everyone zips down.

We tried policing women in the past, it did not work and it never will.

This matter is delicate, but the answer to it is simple. The root solution is to imbibe the fear of God in them from their crawling days.

I know of a boy born in 2009. Whenever he lies, his mom reminds him of what Allah said about the liars in the Qur'an and he starts crying � and begging his mom to help him seek forgiveness. His mum would say you need to seek forgiveness yourself then he does ablution start praying and making funny prayer points. If he doesn't want to pray, his mom reminds him of what was said about people who don't pray and he runs after us to the Masjid.

In addition, She does a lot of Positive reinforcement. For instance, she might say you are a good boy, right? Good boys don't play rough and he would stay quiet. She asks him his role model and gets him to imitate his role model after watching him on YouTube.

The outcome of all of that is wonderful. This boy is so modest, shy, upright. I pray God continues to guide him. I know all that seemed Islamic but I believe it can work with other beliefs too.

My point is - Inculcating the dear of God in children goes a long way.

Some people self you just comment to be noticed making emphasis on virginity, this is where the traning comes in parents of boys should train them well so that our daughters will go out without being raped or cajole into premarital sex. If you are training your daughter to keep her virginity and your next door neighbor is seeing her as a prey to feed on what is the essence. Most of this teenagers that are sexually active today may not have been if the society will wake up and invest the same energy the use to tell the female gender to close their legs and tell the boys to Zip up.

Well said.

Bold move by the mum, it's difficult to acknowledge deficiencies sometimes so for her to do so in this case is commendable. I only hope it has the desired effect.
