Valentines Day: Osun State Workers Get Free Condoms As Gift
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.”
American R&B singer Chris Brown on Friday pleaded not guilty in a UK court to a charge stemming from an alleged London nightclub brawl in 2023.
Brown, 36, wearing a dark suit and tie as well as glasses, stood in the dock in London as the charge was put to him, replying: “Not guilty, ma’am.”
The singer, who is on £5 million ($6.7 million) bail, waved to people in the public gallery as he left, following his plea to allegedly attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent.
A five to seven-day long trial was scheduled to start on October 26, 2026
The singer was held in custody for a nearly a week in May after he was arrested in the northwestern city of Manchester. He was later released on bail.
Under the terms of his bail, he will forfeit the £5 million guarantee if he fails to return for court proceedings.
He was also given the go-ahead to continue his scheduled international tour which began on June 8 in Amsterdam.
The star, who had a troubled relationship with Barbadian singer Rihanna, is on the UK leg of his tour, with his next date in London on Saturday.
Brown is charged with attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent in relation to an assault in which the victim was allegedly struck several times with a bottle before being pursued, punched and kicked
