A complex situation that may be too hot to handle may soon erupt between two former heads of states, General Buhari and General Babangida over political differences. Babagida has threatened to bring up an issue that seems likely to create conflicts if not quenched now.“On Gen.

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

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.

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

These days, hardly does a month end without news of someone in Nollywood or the Music industry, getting involved in car accident or public brawl...

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.
