Kano State Hisbah Board has discovered 15 women with HIV/AIDS among thousands of screened applicants for mass wedding in Kano. Besides, 23 women tested positive to pregnancy screening.

Hisbah’s spokesperson, Alhaji Adamu Yahaya, who told newsmen on the outcome of the exercise, revealed that 8,000 women applied for the state sponsored mass wedding programme, including divorcees, widows and spinsters.He said the screening was part of the prerequisites to ascertain the health status of intending couples before the consummation to enable the board and each person know the health status of their partner.

“The prospective couples were selected from the 44 local councils of the state and as soon as the screening is completed, the state government would fix the date for the conduct of the mass marriage”.He stressed that Governor Umar Ganduje has sustained the mass wedding initiative to check the rate of prostitution and assist those incapacitated to marry. The governor had constituted a 23-member committee headed by Chief Imam of Kano, Prof. Sani Zaharadeen, in December 2018, to select 3,000 women for the mass wedding.

Meanwhile, the heightened atmosphere of the general elections took the shine off last week’s celebration of Saint Valentine’s Day. Away from the boisterous ambience where the city of Lagos is serenaded in the colour of red, it was an unusual Valentine’s Day as most Lagosians went about their normal businesses while only few persons were seen donning an attire with a touch of red.

The Guardian also observed that most eatery outlets and gift item shops recorded low patronage unlike in previous years where even secondary school pupils mark the day with fanfare.

According to Ogunjide Olufunkanyi, manager of Chicken Republic, Victoria Island, she attributed the low turn out of customers to the preparations for the polls and lack of money in the system. On the contrary, Oaikhena Elimen, the branch manager of Medplus, a pharmaceutical store in Victoria Island, said there was a high patronage of condoms, which he said is as a result of Valentine, as many young ones would like to play safe when engaging in sex to mark the day.

“Really, we have recorded more sales of condoms today. The students want to show appreciation, love and have fun. People abuse this day by luring girls into immoral sexual activities in the name of valentine but there was high customer request for packs of condoms,” he added.

I'm not surprised, why won't they carry hiv.
When number one in doing sodomy and all sorts.
All these northern women are hypocrites,
They claim holy holy.. But hide many sexual atrocities under their hijab.
And don't even know what protection is.
Illiteracy is a disease

I wish all of them a happy Marriage life

All this pretentious hypocrites....

Them go wear hijab, cover face, cover hand, cover leg, but na dem fvck pass...

Nigerians have looked back these 4 years and what we have seen is only total darkness and misery. Life has been so miserable within just 4 years of only one man Buhari, is it the herdsmen killings, bokoharam killings, disunity, nepotism, python dance on armless protesters, Shitte Muslims killings, Poverty capital of the world, what have we not seen withing just 4 years of this man Buhari, what??.

Anyone thinking of voting Buhari again may all these calamity listed above follow your immediate family from generation to generation, non shall escape it till eternity. Amen

MORE REASON WE SHOULD ALL VOTE BUHARI

State sponsored madness

Happy marriage
And hospital bills

Lord Lugard fault

The mass wedding would have resulted to mass murder and death.

they should just merge the HIV carriers together na ,

.

Sad one.

If not for condom... only God know the number of sexual diseases I for don contact.

Condom na Life saver.

If you can't Abstain, Be Faithful, If you can't be Faithful...Abeg Use CONDOM.

It is not expensive

.

Before you laugh, they most likely did not know.

That is why VCT and education is important.

Please everyone, know your status. I know mine, how about you?

our northern folks seems to hate condoms more than they hate igbos...

Mass wedding to pump more kids into the already overpulated North...

like for Atiku, share buhari

Why not enpower them so they can survive and sponsor their own wedding instead of this unsustainable gesture? Africa and misplaced priorities are inseparable.

Okay

This should make Nigerians understand that there is an HIV epidermic in the land. Meanwhile, we seem to be shying away from that reality.

Lol, awoof dey kill belly. Thank God it was discovered, na so the tin for take spread like wild fire.

I need a country away from this type of dumb people

So HIV still dey exist....

3 million HIV carriers in Nigeria is a lie because 80% don't even know their status and they keep spreading the virus. Thank God HIV is no longer a death sentence with effective treatment one can live a normal life. Know your status and avoid aids.

They wee just wear big hijab n nothing under... All these hypocritical burantashi powered alhajis will just raise d hijab up at a mad corner at nyt and d rest will be history

Olosho everywhere.
God have mercy.

I think if the state empowered those 8,000 people the can sponsor their own weddings later.
Nigeria government always know the right thing to do but the will never do it.
