My visit to Ikom in cross river state, Nigeria showed the way young people in Ikom lack a platform to show their inner content. So many talents are lying idle. Imagine a community where what young girls do is look good for the boys..no wonder a lot of them have babies during their teenage days. I call this self violence. It’s Funny this happens even when a greater part of the young ones in the villages in that state are school goers. Fancy a young girl of about 12-15 getting pregnant, there is a high possibility of VVF at child birth. Not only that, STIs can also be transmitted. The idea of abortion is not left out as an option in this case as this is detrimental to their lives. Interviews with some of these youths showed a number of them suggested a free senior secondary education, because some of these girls do not have enough money to continue their senior secondary education. I hope that solves the case. Hmmmmn..
