BUY A BOOK; SAVE A LIFE…towards a beautiful tomorrow




Teenage Pregnancy is a menace that is eating deep into the present and future lives of the 21st century modern girls. More disturbing is the report by the National Population Commission that the occurrence of teenage pregnancy in the country might increase to over 60million by the end of 2015. Presently, research shows that about 16million girls between the ages of 15-19 are pregnant, a situation more than 80% of them innocently or ignorantly found themselves; a situation majority of them are not prepared for. In Nigeria, statistics has it that one out of every three teenage girls in the North is pregnant while in the South, the rate is one in ten teenage girls.

This situation according to many literatures on the Nigerian context has been attributed to Poverty, Sexual Abuse, Ignorance, Cultural and Religious Beliefs amongst others; which brings with it health, social and economic implications. Medical experts affirmed that early pregnancy is the greatest killer of teenage girls worldwide; with its attendant problems like Unsafe Abortion, Pregnancy Complications, Curtailment of Education and Unstable Marital Life.

The challenge of ending teenage pregnancy has been laid at the doorstep of emerging leaders especially the teenage girls and young female adults to find ways of avoiding this danger, through propagating right information, campaigning against exploitation and raising a movement for  educating the girl-child.

Against this background, my friends and i decided not to place the responsibility of fighting this menace facing our younger ones solely in the hands of the government; hence, the Project BUY A BOOK; SAVE A LIFE. This project aims at drawing the attention of teenagers to the need to understand the very contemporary issues of adolescent sexuality.

We hope to achieve this by providing a medium which contains all the basic information needed to equip an average teenager on the implications of youthful exuberance, teenage pregnancy and to avoid it. The medium however is the Novel: Yetunde Lawal's "SECRETS". This book has been approved and recommended in the Lagos State list of books for Secondary School, and it focuses on teenagers and the problems of unwanted pregnancy.

The story is carefully woven into a beautiful prose which is not only interesting to read but also very easy to understand. With this project, you and i will buy One Thousand Copies of this book and freely donate to One Thousand Students across Oyo State, Nigeria starting with Ibadan. All you have to do is BUY A BOOK for Five Hundred Naira (N500:00) and you just might have SAVED A LIFE. I urge you all to be a part of this project as we take a walk towards making tomorrow beautiful.

"one who wants to change the world MUST start with his immediate environment"

Thank You.

Inside her desert oasis! Lady Gaga enjoys freebie stay at $12 million mansion while headlining Coachella

She was the headliner for both weekends of Coachella this year. And while in the desert for the annual musical festival, Lady Gaga stayed at a $12 million Mediterranean mansion, courtesy of Airbnb. The 31-year-old made herself at home in the sprawling 9,500 square foot home, with seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. The normally $10,000-a night Airbnb listing is located in Rancho Mirage, which is just a 25 minute drive from the festival in Indio, California. Lady Gaga replaced Beyonce as the headliner for Coachella; Beyonce pulled out of the festival shortly after announcing that she's pregnant with twins. On Monday, the artist thanked Airbnb for the home as she posed next to a large fireplace in a pink hoodie; she wrote: 'Thank you @airbnb for my desert home. A wonderful gift!' While prepping for her Coachella gig, the Grammy award winning songstress rested at the mega estate, which has 360 degree mountain views and a resort style pool. The kitchen had st...

Why Detroit has the largest satanist temple chapter in the US

The "largest public satanic ceremony in history" took place last Saturday in Detroit, a city that has the largest and oldest chapter of a national Satanist organization.  The group unveiled a nearly 9-foot tall bronze statue of a goat-headed Baphomet in a private ceremony attended by 600 ticket holders, Lucien Graves, co-founder of the national Satanic Temple organization in Boston. The Satanic Temple in Detroit has more than 200 registered members. "They are so active and well-organized," Graves said. "There's probably been another wave of interest since this event."  The Detroit chapter is the first of the national organization, Graves said. He credits the Detroit chapter's founder Jex Blackmore with the growth of the chapter since it was established there in August 2014. "It's more or less because of her. She was just a very confident person who started working with us," Graves said further. The pair...
