“On behalf of the committee, we pray that the souls of those who departed may rest in peace.’’
He noted that Nigerian military and police make a mark anywhere they are serving the United Nations “One way or the other, all of you here are veterans of peace keeping.
“I know quite a number of you had done more than two three tours on this mission
“So, I am not surprised that through your leadership, the military had been able to safeguard the Constitution.
“We commend your effort and urge you to build on that. In any country, the civilians look up, especially in time of crisis, towards the military.
“I thank you for all you have done and I am very proud to be part and parcel of the military who since independence, have been contributing to the development and well- being of this country’’

The Defence Chief said that the military leaders were the product of democratic governance and would therefore not embark on any activities that could jeopardize the electoral processes.

THE MAJOR THINGS THAT CUASE CHILDLESSNESS IN MOST PART OF NIGERIAN MAINLY IN IBO LAND;
1) ABORTION: contributes 40%
2) INFECTION 20%
3) MASTURBATION: 20%
4) LATE MARRIAGE: 15%
5) LACK OF SPORTS: 5%
ABORTION: Because having baby before marriage is like abomination in most part of Nigeria
especially in IBO land, so many girls there are ready to abort 1,2,3,4,5,6 or
even 7 months pregnancy without minding the harm it may give to their womb.
Some can drink anything to abort in order to protect their or their family
image and to secure to themselves the change of getting married tomorrow.
Some will unknowingly or desperately use fake drugs, concoctions without dosage
especially most of those one they sale inside buses in Nigeria (though some are
good). The seller will bring one medicine and tell you it can cure up to five
or ten sicknesses. They will not tell
you direct that the medicine can abort pregnancy. But they will tell you is not made for
pregnant woman. At the end of the advert, you will see girls rushing the
medicine so that they will use it for abortion. They will ask the seller some funny questions like please Oga or Doc can
my grandmother who is 70 years drink this medicine? No mind them; the girls
are the one who wanted to drink the medicine for their abortion.
Some girls do up to 5 to 7 times abortion in one year
because they don’t know how to control their ovulation period; while many boys
and girls say they don’t enjoy using condom to make love.
Some girls did not understand that any medicine that is
capable of pulling out unripe baby from the womb will weaken or wound the womb.
That is why you see when some women got married and start looking for a child,
they will stop taking those abortion medicine but still it will take them few months
or years to get pregnant because;
A) Their womb need to heal from damages caused by
abortion. So they many keep on having miscarriages.
B) Some had aborted all the fruitful eggs in their system.
Though some lucky ones, their system may generate another egg after a long
time. Then they get what is called miracle child.
INFECTION: A woman may be having miscarriages due to infection she got from dirty or pit toilet,
dirty or second hand or borrowed paint, or sex she had with another man that
has infection when she is pregnant. That is why it is not good for a husband to
have sex without condom outside and also have sex with his pregnant wife
because he may get infection outside and give it to his pregnant wife and then the
wife will get miscarriage. And some bad woman feel saver to have sex with
another man when they are pregnant because their husband is already responsible
for their pregnancy. Some married woman during their ovulation they will go and
make love with another man they like his color, height or his luck. Then they
will come back and make love with their husband and put the pregnancy on their husband head.
MASTURBATION:Many boys and girls find it cheaper, easier, or saver to masturbate themselves
or make love man to man or woman to woman. More especially those leaving in a
caged environment like boarding school, prisons, churches, mosques, etc. And
because is more easier to satisfy their sexual urge via masturbation, so the people
involved in it can masturbate as many times as they want in a day or a week.
Any little thing like sexy or naked photo, pornography, even a naked statue or robot
can cause them erection and too much of masturbation which causes the men to
have low sperm count and the woman to
have weakness of productive body system.
LATE MARRIAGE: To marry very late can also cause you
childlessness especially if you are a woman. And as a woman, if you still keep
your virginity from 28 years and above, you many stand the chance of having fibroid
depending on your body system; so is better you marry or loss the virginity. And
if you are a woman and you are up to 35 years of age, you don’t need to marry a
man who is far above your age (though there is nothing too bad in it). But is
even better you marry your junior. Then if you are a man of 40 years and above,
is better you marry a woman within the age of 20 to 30 years. Though is better
for a man to marry on time than to be too old and marry a young girl (because
as the girl is coming up to enjoy the fun of life, the man will be going down
and tired of life, so he may not be able to afford the kind of natural
satisfaction the girl may want).
SPORTS: Sports or exercise is very good and necessary in every human being. It drives away
sicknesses out of your body system and gives you sound health. Without exercise
you may develop unnecessary fat and weakness of the body. Most times you see it
that poor people and beggars easily get pregnant and delivers with good health
more than rich or comfortable people. Even poor men can easily pregnant a woman
than most rich and comfortable men because the suffering poor men passes
through everyday exercises their body system. And most poor people eat natural
food which is the best because they cannot afford money to buy junk food which
is mostly chemical food and flavor. Some rich men and women do nothing stressful
everyday but still they go to hospital most time to take bed rest which cause their blood and system to congeal the more. What such a person needs is exercise and not bed rest.
TOO MUCH OF TOBACCO SMOKING may also make you inactive to
perform very well. Making love knowingly or unknowingly with a spirit or an
occult or ritualist, may also cause you childlessness “IF” they choose to take
your fruit of the womb.
Thank you.
