There's a girl in my area that year, the moment she gained admission to the University, the mother took her to the clinic for the contraceptives implant, according to her, she doesn't want the daughter to get pregnant from school. These generation is nothing to write home about. Morally, academically, financially, spiritually, socially, physically, mentally, psychologically and generally. They are not thinking anything apart from relationships, s*x and drugs and fraud. |

Using this is like putting knife into the hearts of God. This is fornication. Sin is sex before marriage, contraceptives or no condoms. What about diseases and spiritual transactions? May God help our youths to refocus on better things than sex before marriage in Jesus Christ name Amen. |

Morality is gone with the wind! Corrupt society! Social media immorality programming! Irresponsible parents and parenting! Undisciplined and indisciplined children! Etc End times things.... Jesus Christ makes the difference... |

saintmm:The implant is specifically meant for preventing unwanted pregnancies. STDs require additional protection, and that is why both boys and guys are handed condoms to use whenever they decide to have sex. ![]() |

Pacesetter123:Ok lets be objective, there is nowhere in the constitution of Nigeria where putting an implant in ones teenage daughter is a crime,. Now as far as there is a responsible adult there when this procedure is carried out. Now sleeping with a teenager under 18 as an adult is a crime. These are the two difference you 4got to take into consideration. This leaves us with a question of morality. Now morally speaking would you say by putting an implant in the arm of a female child encourages them to have more sex? If she was slightly older ie 20 would you see any wrong in it ? Morally speaking can you guarantee that not putting the implant on a teenage girl would make her not to have more sex? One thing that is a constant in these two context is this, She wont get pregnant and have unwanted babies. However not having this implant might lead to unwanted pregnancy. People had this same argument when the condom was introduce and the morning after pills where introduced. This discussions had been had 30 years ago in the Uk and its part of sex education. So we need more enlightment in this areas. |

Kobojunkie:Exactly, I don't know why this is hard to sink in. The age of having sex is going down every day a 14 year old can get a 13 year old pregnant, what do they expect both parties to do? |

erico2k2:Back in the early to mid 90s, I met a pregnant 10-year-old girl when I went to spend vacation with an uncle of mine. Her mother was a full-time nurse and single mother who rarely had time to spend with her children since their dad was dead. Imagine the mother considering getting her child an abortion at that age? And in Nigeria at that? ![]() Each child needs to be started as early as is necessary and healthy, and that is what parents are there for. ![]() |

IyaTola:The shocking discovery of contraceptive implants among secondary school girls has stirred outrage, with many framing it as a sign of moral collapse. But before we condemn these young girls, let’s pause and consider: could this incident be less about immorality and more about protection, survival, and silence around sexual realities? First, contraceptives don’t fall into the hands of minors by magic. If dozens of students in one school carry the same device, it means they are being guided—or perhaps pressured—by someone older. This raises a possibility that some of these girls may not even be engaging in consensual relationships but are rather being shielded (or silenced) from the consequences of exploitation. Instead of immediately seeing them as “wayward,” we should be asking: Are these girls victims of abuse, manipulation, or neglect? Second, let’s face a hard truth: whether society admits it or not, teenagers are exposed to sexual realities—through peer influence, social media, or even unsafe encounters. For some, using contraceptives may not be about “promoting immorality,” but about avoiding early pregnancies that could ruin their education and future opportunities. A 16-year-old with a baby has her life trajectory altered forever. Isn’t it possible that, in their own limited wisdom, these girls are choosing what they see as the lesser of two evils? Third, placing all the blame on parents, teachers, and health workers oversimplifies a bigger problem. Health practitioners may not be encouraging immorality; they might be responding to a painful reality—that society has failed to protect young girls from sexual risks, and the implants are a desperate form of damage control. Instead of rushing to enforce stricter control, perhaps what is most urgently needed is: Honest conversations between parents and children about sexuality—not just warnings and fear. Empowerment of girls to understand consent, self-worth, and boundaries. Accountability for men and older individuals who exploit underage girls (a part of the story often ignored). Yes, the discovery is alarming. But the true moral challenge is not the implant itself—it’s the silence, neglect, and lack of safe guidance that push children into taking matters into their own hands. The implants are a symptom. The deeper disease is a society that shies away from real conversations about sex, protection, and responsibility. |

novodecipher:I understand where you’re coming from, and I respect your conservative view, but I think we need to look at this issue carefully. First, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is not “organic” or safe. It is not a cultural cure for high libido, neither is it a protection for our girls. Medical experts all over the world — including doctors right here in Nigeria — have shown that FGM can cause lifelong complications: chronic pain, severe infections, difficulties during childbirth, and yes, even infertility. It’s not just “the western world” saying this; it’s African doctors, midwives, and women who have lived with the trauma. Secondly, calling implants “foreign bodies” ignores the fact that the real issue is not the method but why teens seek them in the first place. If parents are intentional, as you rightly said, and create that strong bond with their children, then conversations about sex, choices, and consequences can happen openly. That way, the child doesn’t feel the need to hide or secretly use dangerous or unsuitable options. Pregnancy should never be seen as a “blessing in disguise” for a teenager. A teenage pregnancy often derails education, causes emotional stress, and can trap a young girl in cycles of poverty or unhealthy relationships. Yes, some women rise above it, but for many, it closes doors that could have led to a better life. As for contraceptives, while overuse or misuse can have side effects, modern medicine provides safer, reversible options when guided by a professional. The real solution is balanced education — teaching our daughters about their bodies, self-worth, and decision-making, while also ensuring boys are taught responsibility too. In short, protecting our girls doesn’t mean cutting them or leaving them exposed to risky situations. It means empowering them with knowledge, guidance, and love so that they don’t have to depend on secrecy, fear, or desperation to make choices about their bodies. |

omojeesu:I hear your frustration, but let’s also look at it from another angle. Yes, society has its issues — corruption, immorality, parenting challenges — but that’s not the whole story. There are still young people building businesses, raising their voices for justice, choosing to live responsibly, and parents who sacrifice daily to raise children with values. Every generation has thought the world was getting worse, but each one has also produced people who stood for what’s right. Social media isn’t only a tool for immorality — it has also spread the gospel, given opportunities to the poor, reunited families, and educated millions for free. Instead of just lamenting, the real call is for us to model the difference we want to see. Jesus indeed makes the difference, but He does it through people who decide to live out His teachings in their homes, schools, businesses, and communities. It’s not only “end times things”… it’s also “our time things.” What we plant now will determine what grows tomorrow. |

Samantha125:I understand some parents may feel it’s too early or unnecessary, but the reality is that times have changed. Teenagers today are exposed to so much information, peer pressure, and influence from social media that “just warning them” isn’t always enough. Placing your daughter on birth control isn’t about encouraging immorality—it’s about protecting her future. Imagine the difference between a 16-year-old dealing with the responsibility of raising a child versus that same 16-year-old focusing on her education and building her dreams. Prevention simply saves her from carrying a burden she’s not ready for. As parents, our responsibility is not only to advise but also to take practical steps to safeguard them. The world has moved beyond traditional methods of parenting alone; we now need intentional and proactive strategies to keep our children safe. |

Ibkay32:You’re absolutely right that we all come from different backgrounds, and the way a child is raised often reflects the mindset of the parents. Sadly, in today’s society, some parents have lost their sense of responsibility and are even the ones pushing their children into harmful paths—whether through contraceptives without proper guidance, supporting internet fraud, or encouraging hookups as a means of survival. When the home fails in instilling discipline, dignity, and hard work, it’s only natural that society begins to crumble. The real tragedy is that children grow up confused, thinking shortcuts and immorality are the normal way of life, instead of understanding the value of patience, integrity, and building a future the right way. At the end of the day, no amount of clinics, contraceptives, or “modern solutions” can replace the role of proper parenting. Once the foundation is compromised, every other structure will eventually show cracks. |

I agree. It is just that in these end times evil will be prevalent until Jesus stops the satanic madness. Solution: Everyone should secure his or her own lives and eternity in Christ. The situation in the world won't get better but worse but God's people will survive even in the time of Great Tribulation... Hamachi: |
