REVEALED: The Town Where Men Don’t Use Condóm In Lagos

Following his pleasant discovery earlier in the day, Hueze Huesu, in his 50s, couldn’t wait to get home later that night. He felt like a school boy preparing for a first date. He was excited about exploring the world of séx with a ‘rubber

“Nobody had told me about condóms until I heard from some people that it prevents pregnancy and séxually transmitted diseases,” he said. However, his excitement was deflated when he tried to explore…

He wanted to enjoy his new discovery with one of his wives t night. He said, “For the first time, I tried to use it when I wanted to sleep with my wife but she bluntly refused. She said she was not a prostitute and queried why I wanted to use a condóm when we have been married for years and never used one.”

Since then, Huese, who has 10 children, has never tried to use a condóm with any of his two wives. “I have never believed in the use of condóms anyway. This has not stopped me from having séx regularly. The woman knows the sign when the man is about to release or reach climax. So she has already even enjoyed it more than the man before he withdraws,” noted Huese animatedly.

The use of condóms is strange to men in Makoko, a densely populated slum town in Lagos where majority live in wooden shacks built on water.

Events that shaped Nigerian entertainment scene in 2014

The year 2014 would go down in the history of Nigeria’s entertainment industry as one of the most eventful for many reasons. From good to bad, beautiful to ugly, the industry saw it all as headline-grabbing events dominated the sector all year round. While tragic incidents such as deaths and collapsed marriages almost robbed the sector of a brilliant streak of successes, the formation of new marriages, arrival of babies and mega endorsement deals for some ensured 2014 wasn’t all about the gloomy news. Saturday Beats in this piece, highlights some of the most remarkable moments and incidents that rocked the entertainment industry in Africa’s most populous country over the last 12 months

How social media helped Nigerians win war against ebola

Medical workers of the Liberian Red Cross, wearing a protective suit, carry the body of a victim of the Ebola virus in a bag in the small city of Banjol, 30 kilometres of Monrovia... on Thursday.

With over 131 million active lines and 67 million mobile Internet subscribers, Nigerians engaged the social media to spread information which helped contain the Ebola Virus Disease, writes DAYO OKETOLA

Being the worst Ebola Virus Disease outbreak ever, the deadly virus has continued to outpace financial and health resources available to fight its spread. With thousands of households badly ravaged and children orphaned across West Africa, the World Health Organisation declared the outbreak a global emergency with over 16,000 infected people and nearly 7,000 deaths.

As of December 13, 2014, Liberia has recorded 3,290 Ebola deaths; Sierra Leone, 2,033; Guinea, 1,518; Mali, six; and Senegal, one. While Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone are the three hardest-hit countries with many deaths, only seven people died in Nigeria.

EVD was imported into Nigeria on July 20, 2014 by Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian-born American diplomat who flew in from Lome, in transit to a conference in Calabar the Cross River State capital.

The Lagos State Government and the Federal Ministry of Health were quick to disseminate messages urging people to avoid physical contact, to wash their hands frequently, and avoid handshakes and hugs, among other tips. The Federal Ministry of Health immediately put up a dedicated EVD page on its website which contained fact sheets in English and downloadable fliers in Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo languages.

Nigeria, a nation that kills its children

It’s been over eight months since a tragedy struck the small town of Chibok in Borno State and brought the sleepy town in Northeastern Nigeria out of obscurity. The town was relatively quiet till the night the insurgent group, Boko Haram, kidnapped 276 secondary school girls from their hostel on April 14.

The incident woke the town up and caught the attention of the world for the bad reasons. Some of the girls later escaped, leaving 219 others in captivity.

In a video interview with New York-based Human Rights Watch, one of the victims said she was forcibly married to one of the insurgents who raped her every night during her four weeks in captivity.

“He soon began to threaten me with a knife to have sex with him and when I refused, he brought out his gun, warning that he would kill me if I shouted,” she said.

“Then he began to rape me every night … I had never had sex before; it was very painful and I cried bitterly because I was bleeding afterwards.”

Also, a 17-year-old girl recalled her confrontation with a Boko Haram commander, who wanted to marry her off. She said that when she told the insurgent that she was too young for marriage, he shocked her by pointing his gun at his five-year-old daughter and said, “If she got married last year and is just waiting till puberty for its consummation, how can you at your age be too young to marry?”

There have been too many sad tales of how children are being killed or maltreated in the country, particularly as a result of political or ethno-religious crises.

President Goodluck Jonathan while addressing the United Nations Security Council in September 2014, said, “over 13,000 people have been killed, whole communities razed and hundreds of persons kidnapped” by insurgents in Nigeria’s Northeast zone.

Findings by Saturday PUNCH show that women and children make up the majority of those that have been kidnapped by the group.

Findings also show that state security agents have largely been ineffective in providing safety for this class of people.

Timeline of violence against Nigerian children

One of the group’s major targets have been schools as the name ‘Boko Haram’ which is translated as ‘Western education is forbidden’ suggests.

In one of its first deadly attacks on children, the group killed four children in a bomb blast at Damboa town, Maiduguri, Borno State on June 16, 2011.

The group soon showed its aversion to education when on February 21, 2012, pupils of Gomari Costain Primary School in Maiduguri got to school and found that it had been destroyed.

The following day, Abba Ganaram Primary School, also in Maiduguri, was set ablaze.

Boko Haram claimed responsibility for both actions.

Earlier on January 10, 2012, the group had attacked a police station in Birniwa, Jigawa State, killing a teenage girl and wounding a police officer.
