THE SILENT UNKNOWN GENERATIONAL KILLER Live responsibly!


The weekend was indeed a long and tiring one for me, woke up on Monday morning for work still feeling very drowsy but overall it was fun. Anyway my sister and I visited my Uncle who is a Pharmacist by profession and was amazed at some of the things he told us which I cannot help but share. He surprisingly spoke up after we had discussed other family issues, saying he wanted us to get married and settle down as soon as possible, not just because we were getting older but because he knows that majority of our young female adults are using contraceptives. He strongly advised that we should desist if we were into such and that he would not keep mute and watch his nieces get into trouble knowing the implications of these drugs since he was in the field of medicine. He said" I am a pharmacist, we prescribe and sell these drugs but the truth will never be told of the dangerous after effects that these drugs portray.

Contraceptives he said, will carry out their job effectively but the after effect will manifest in the children of the said contraceptive user sometimes leading to cervical cancer. Another important area he mentioned is complication in child birth as a result of blood clotting as well as some causing obesity in females. A lot of these contraceptives causes blood clotting and other complications may arise due to improper blood circulation.

I have always been of the opinion that these contraceptives will always have a side effect and wondered how married couples are able to sustain their marriages without having to give birth to so many children. Being a catholic has helped to throw light more on contraceptives and the unhealthy implications of them as well as the need to only use the natural family planning method which happens to be the safest, healthiest, oldest, most effective, proven, tested and trusted method of birth control.

What more can we say, life has been made very easy and so we have it served on a platter of gold to us, but please we ladies are especially more at risk with the numerous side effects of all our risky behaviours, the men I am sorry to say and being unbiased are left to enjoy the benefits while we bear the brunt(Pregnancy, Cervical cancer etc) Today, we can choose to take a decision to stop the risky habits/behaviours that exposes one to a short life span.

Lets live responsibly!
Best wishes!
