Cross River State Governor, Senator Ben
Ayade on Thursday advised youths to stop engaging in sex before marriage
as it is the best way to avoid contracting HIV/AIDS virus.
The
governor, who stated this in Calabar during the 2016 World Aids Day,
said the best virtue any girl or woman would give to her husband is to
get married as a virgin, a core value Africans are known for.
The
governor described his wife, Dr. Linda Ayade, as one of such rare
women who lived a virtuous lifestyle before she got married to him as a
virgin.
“I am emphasizing on this core value because I married my
wife as a virgin and she has remain faithful. So I charge all women to
remain faithful to their spouses.Condom is not a guarantee to safe
sexual life. It can fail one. There is no alternative to abstinence in
sex life.”
Ayade appealed to youths to see the dreaded HIV/ AIDS as
real because it has destroyed many families, rendered many children
orphans, many men and women widows and widowers respectively.
He
noted that although poverty and some social pressure may have pushed
many young girls into early exposure, there is need to teach our
upcoming youths the true values of Africa which frowns at immorality
which is now the order of the day.
The governor also advised
Nigerians to be cautious of anything that can make them come in close
contact with unsterilized kits used for barbing and hairdressing.
