Participants at Valentine’s Day celebration organised by the Osun State Civil Service Union got free condoms as gifts distributed by the officials of the Ministry of Health.
The workers, who showed enthusiasm when the items were distributed, received both male and female condoms.
Speaking with journalists, the State Family Planning Coordinator, Ololade Abatan, said condoms were distributed at the event as part of strategies to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies.
Abatan said, “For the grace that God has given us to witness this year’s Valentine’s Day, we have to protect ourselves from sexually transmitted diseases and that is why we are here to distribute both male and female condoms to everyone.
“Let’s start using condoms for adequate protection from sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. It is all for the good of all of us. Both young and old people, we have to protect ourselves from sexually transmitted infections.”
Meanwhile, Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, while speaking at the event, harped on the need for peace and unity among all strata of the society and government in the spirit of Valentine’s Day celebrations.
Adeleke, who was represented by the Head of Service, Ayanleye Aina, in a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, further said, “We have all come a long way as a family of change makers. In our common family, love rules and transcends any other impediments.
“With love, we overlook mistakes, forgive wrongs and embrace united living. With love, we contemplate the past of joy and peace. We enjoy the positive and negative circumstances of the moment and hope for the healing of wounds for a mutually and collectively beneficial future.
“On this day of love, we all know the history of the day we are celebrating, how love led to overruling of all considerations. We remember the sacrifice simply because of heart-to-heart consideration. We must, therefore, ruminate over what we have achieved and what we have lost.”
Nigerian actress Scarlet Gomez has revealed that her husband does not care about her kissing on a movie set when speaking about trust and boundaries in marriage.
The actress, known for her remarkable performance in the Nigerian series movie “Wura”, made this disclosure in a recent episode of the Curiosity Made Me Ask.
During the discussion, media personality Isbaeu made a reference involving a man, questioning how people handle romantic encounters and the narratives they give afterwards.
He said, “I don’t know how you people do it, you’ll kiss somebody and go home and say it is Joshua I kissed. It’s not Joshua you kissed, it was Yomi Fash-Lanso you kissed.”
Reacting to the conversation, Scarlet Gomez emphasised trust and confidence in her marriage, stating that her husband is unbothered by her on-screen roles involving kissing scenes.
The actress said, “I’m married to a man, not a boy. He doesn’t have a small ego, and he trusts his wife. Moving on.”
The exchange has since gained attention online, fueling discussions about trust in relationships and how partners handle boundaries within the entertainment industry.

Basketmouth’s Ex-wife Threatens Legal Action Over Claims Paternity Fraud Ended Her Marriage
Comedian, Basketmouth’s ex-wife, Elsie Okpocha, has threatened to sue anyone spreading false news about her failed marriage.
The estranged couple got married in November 2010 and broke up in 2022 December.
Basketmouth, who announced the end of their in an Instagram post, claimed that the decision was sequel to much deliberations between the two of them.
But the claims of the paternity fraud surfaced on social media a month ago after a blog reported that Basketmouth during an interview allegedly disclosed that DNA results of their first child led to their divorce.
Reacting to the controversy on Saturday in a letter by her legal representative, Primeview Legal, Elsie denied the paternity fraud allegation and warned the public to desist from “false and unfounded” publications.
She further threatened to sue any individual or blogs found guilty of spreading such news for defamation, and invasion of privacy.
Expressing concerns over the psychological effects of such reports on her first child, she said in the legal letter shared on her Instagram page “some innocent members of the public may take such publications as the true state of things in the marriage and begin to bully their son on and off social media spaces with the consequential psychological trauma that will be inflicted on him, hence this intervention.”
Burna Boy’s mother, Bose Ogulu, has reacted to her son’s cussing and profane language using her name during a lifestream.
The singer used the curse words while denying beating DJ Tunez with his crew members.
Wizkid had in a post on X, accused Burna Boy and his 10 man team of beating the DJ in Lagos’ night club over failure to play his music.
Denying the allegation on Wednesday during a Livestream with singer Shallipopi, Burna Boy said “Na only me touch DJ Tunez, no be 10 people. Na two slaps I give am. I swear with my mama. If I dey lie, make Ogun carry my mama go anywhere wey Wizkid mama dey.”
Following Burna Boy’s claim, a clear video of the incident capturing him and his team kicking DJ Tunez on the floor went viral on social media as against his claim.
Reacting to the development, the singer’s mother, Bose Ogulu, turned to a prayer warrior.
A viral video online captured her being surrounded by her son’s crew members as they prayed against every evil declaration and spirit.
