Religion has indeed eaten deep into the minds of Africans especially in Nigeria and Ghana — we associate everything with religion.
Now a Nigerian pharmacist has refused to sell condoms to a lady who obviously wanted to have protective s£x to prevent pregnancy and STI’s on the basis that her religion frowns on selling condoms.
A Twitter user with the handle @Rita Fluffy has taken to social media to attribute the problem of Nigerian girls having unprotective s£x, getting pregnant and contracting STI’s to religion.
The lady recounting how a pharmacist refused to sell condoms to her just because it’s against his religion wrote;
“36% of female teenagers in Nigeria have already had a child from unexpected pregnancies and Lagos has the highest rate of gonorrhoea in the world but you know let’s teach woodwork instead of sex education ?
Plus gonorrhoea is a silent killer in women and it’s a major cause of infertility since it scars your tubes
It will barely show up till it’s in its last stages ….tell the young ones this and stop waiting for the doctor to tell them when it’s too late
Nigeria is a society that has a stigma with buying condoms ….more for women sef ….I’ll never understands why it’s so wrong to want to have safe sex. Met this whole ass pharmacist that said she couldn’t sell condoms as it’s against her faith
As a Nigerian woman if you are going to buy condoms just buy as much as you can at once….nobody will kill you”.
