Catholics
across Nigeria has been urged to accept modern family planning methods
to help prevent ‘accident discharge’ which characterises the natural
method acceptable to members of the Christian faith.
Experts, including Executive Secretary, FCT Primary Healthcare
Development Board, Dr. Rilwanu Mohammed, made the call in Abuja at the
weekend during an award ceremony by Urban Reproductive Health Initiative
for families who adopted family planning in Nigeria.
While urging members of the Catholics, Mohammed said members of the
Christian faith “do not give birth as rampant as others even though they
are not adopting family planning. They are adopting natural family
planning. But we are encouraging them to please accept modern family
planning such as the use of condoms. We have been encouraging them.”
According to him, some of the church members have agreed to embrace
the programme given sensitization from government and health officials
“but there are some people (among them) who are not educated and are
giving birth as they wish. We are losing mothers and children before
they reach their fifth birthday through that process and it is
unfortunate they refuse to embrace family planning.
“We are however happy with the Catholics because they are embracing
natural family planning, although it leads to accidental discharge which
cannot be stopped.
“By accidental discharge, it means sometimes the men cannot hold
their own body while making love with their wives in trying the natural
family planning techniques. Natural family planning means the number of
times a woman will have her menstrual flow (safe period) in which they
will not have pregnancy. They can make love within that safe period by
using condoms,” Mohammed stressed.
