I was spurred to write this, as a result of an occurrence that happened to the niece of a colleague just recently. A final year student in the University, in her early twenties, got pregnant for a young boy who claimed responsibility though. But for reasons best known to her, opted for an abortion, which was carried out by a quack . The fetus was evacuated, yet she never stopped bleeding even after a week. She hadn’t any choice but to confess to her parents who took her to a special hospital for proper attention and then subsequently an operation. Alas, it was discovered that she had triplets, which weren’t properly done by the quack. Her womb now ruptured as a result of the damage done.   What amazes me is that, the mother cried her eyes out and bemoaned that her daughter should have kept the pregnancy instead. The girl was probably scared of how disappointed her mother would have been, if a protruded belly was all she could bring home, even before graduation. Or that her p...

Today is Children’s day in Nigeria, May 27 th and a National public holiday for kids to be celebrated. But how about we ponder on my caption, that every ‘fetal’ should be availed the opportunity, to taste life, and fulfill their destiny.  Many thanks to science that brought this knowledge to us all. An average male will produce roughly 525 billion sperm cells over a life time. When in fact, the present world population is just a ‘paltry’ seven billion. A healthy adult male can release between 40 million and 1.2 billion sperm cells in a single ejaculation. Which means,if all things had been equal, a single man would have been able to reproduce the entire world population in just seven ejaculations. Reminiscing about my biology lessons way back in high school with the help of trakfertility.com; Sperms (being the genesis according to God’s mapped out plan for conception) are constantly in danger. Inside the testicle, it takes a sperm about seventy two days to go from a germ...

There goes this popular saying ‘life is not fair’. But before you think your life as being unfair, kindly bear this in mind, that, all fingers are not equal .   Which explains why the rich could be denied the joy of parenthood, and one termed ‘lowly’ , barely able to afford a daily meal, births a population enough to make a football team. Someone highly waged would pay rent all his days, to one who seemed a nonentity.   Another reason why people think life isn’t fair right? Ever wondered the number of A-list students wandering about unemployed? And the supposed dullards, not only amassing wealth, but became employers of the former. Intelligent students are in fact being employed by school drop-outs. Should I just say this, that the smart ones haven’t actually discovered their lanes, so as to run it differently. Consider this too, that some people got wedded earlier in life, only to have delayed conception (in some cases), spanning into decades for some even. While...
