Anambra Statewide Condom Ban
By :
Ken Brower-10301
Anambra is one of Nigeria’s most densely populated states with the 2006 census showing 4.1 million residents. The villages and towns are densely populated with anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000 residents living within the confines of each square kilometer. In Nigeria, alone, the HIV epidemic is staggering, to say the least. According to research done by the United Nations program on HIV/AIDS, every year over 300,000 people become infected with HIV only adding to the 3 million people who are already infected. This accounts for almost 4 percent of Nigeria’s adult population. So what solution, what remedy can be offered that could perhaps stop the epidemic in its tracks? According to state officials in Anambra, a ban on birth control could be just the right path to take.
