No Condom, No Conversation: A Silent Crisis in Our Communities

No Condom, No Conversation: A Silent Crisis in Our Communities

This is just a candid observation, not meant to judge or offend anyone. I recently had casual conversations with 40 women, and only about 10 confirmed they use condoms. The rest either smiled or admitted they don’t. This, to me, reflects part of the reason behind the increasing rate of single motherhood in society. I’m not blaming anyone—life happens, and things don’t always go as planned. But if I could offer any advice, it’s this: use protection. Not just to prevent unwanted pregnancies, but to avoid the emotional and financial strain that can come with raising a child alone. I’ve personally had situations where women were okay with unprotected sex if I didn’t bring it up—which honestly worries me. It’s not about being overly cautious, just responsible. Currently, I’m working in a slum area, and I see young single mothers with undernourished children. When asked about the fathers, many say they’re long gone. A simple condom might’ve changed that story. I’m not pointing fingers—just encouraging awareness. These days, some ladies are willing to go raw for quick money, ignoring the consequences. Let’s talk more openly about this. Protection is not just smart—it’s survival.

The protest, which began in the early hours of the day, saw the women chanting slogans and wielding placards with inscriptions such as ‘We need our democracy restored’, ‘#BringBackFubara’, ‘Obey the rule of law’, and ‘Save our democracy’. “We want Governor Fubara back,” one of the protesters was heard saying in videos circulating on X. PUNCH Online gathered that the demonstration culminated in a march to the Rivers State Government House in Port Harcourt, where the women called for a return to democratic governance and described the current political situation in the state as “unconstitutional”.
