Based on reports I acquired this morning from students of Obafemi Awolowo University, a lady student of the college gave birth in the Moremi Hostel hall toilet and attempted to flush the infant but was caught my the hall cleaners. They say the girl's name is Oyin ( surname unknown  for now) and she's a 400l student of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The incident happened very early this morning. Based on students of the college who sent in the photo, a cleaner heard a baby crying inside among the toilet stalls and then saw blood originating from underneath the door.

She quickly went to call other cleaners around and they forced the door open. Once the cleaners entered the toilet they saw the student pouring water within the closet, the infant turned ugly, with the head within the closet. Among the women dipped her hand inside and removed the baby...A boy, who had been still quite definitely alive but bleeding from the nose. The cleaners called school management who rushed both your ex and the infant to Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital for treatment. The placenta fell while they were rushing the girl to the hospital.

I personally think this inhuman behavior deserve to face maximum jail terms for attempted murder.

Why we oppose use of condom for family planning - Catholic Church

Click banner for more info

Punch

The Catholic church says it opposes artificial family planning techniques, because it encourages bastardisation of sexual activities by young people and “impedes normal procreation.”

The Secretary-General of the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, Rev. Fr. Ralph Madu, made this clarification in a response to an enquiry by The Punch on Sunday.

He said, “The Catholic Church believes that modern means, including the use of condoms is morally bad because it impedes normal procreation. You can meet with your wife when you do not want children and those periods when the woman is not fertile instead of having to destroy the sperm and all other forms of artificial prevention.

“They are very artificial means and they do not really give the moral lesson that borders around the use of the sexual organs.

This comes as no surprise, especially to those who are in the know of the background of today’s stars. Most of them, even in wildest dreams, never thought they would attain their current standing in the society. In fact, not only do they talk about the rise to fame in interviews, they also author books and record songs on it.
