Dr Ifeanyichukwu Ukanu, a Sexologist and the hostess of the event said that the single phase of ladies lives should be used for productive activities like investing in themselves.

Ukanu said that this was because whatever women failed to achieve during their single days would be difficult to achieve when they were married.

For instance, she said she had been struggling to build a house for her father in the city but it had been difficult due to family responsibilities, adding that it would have been easier to achieve as a single lady.

She encouraged ladies to update themselves, get a skill, further their education to get masters and doctorates degrees and make money while waiting for marriage.

“Ladies are so desperate now to get married, so anything goes, and that desperation is what we don’t want.

“Your own will come, in this church somebody got married at 48, another person almost at 50, I am not saying that it is good but if it has not come yet ,don’t force it.

“Ladies keep asking me what if a guy wants to marry them and he is insisting on sex before marriage?

“I always ask them, ok how many guys will you sleep with? What if you sleep with him and he is not satisfied with your sex life? he will dump you  and get another person so these are some of the things we talk about ,’’ she said

Ukanu said that she was against sex before marriage because of the consequences it could bring, especially sexual diseases among others.

According to her, most times people don’t know their partners HIV status, as a lot of girls are having cervical cancer caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV).

She said that a woman that had multiple sexual partners might contact some of these diseases so ladies needed to be guided on these issues.

Ukanu also stressed the need for ladies to do proper checkup before getting married to enable them know who they wanted marry to avoid some marital challenges.

She said that it had become imperative to organise the event in order to lift up the spirits of women.

According to her, this is because a lot of them are weighed down with depression due to so many challenges including the present harsh situation in the country.

She said that looking at the ladies in the church, it was observed that some of them were not married and some married ones could not handle their homes effectively.

“People always ask me how I cope in my marriage of 22 years with grown up kids, so looking at these challenges, we now thought it wise to have a programme.

“We called different resource persons that have succeeded in different areas of their lives, the  idea is for them to talk to us about how to rise above challenges, especially in relationships because sex has always been an issue,’’ she said

Ukanu also advised married women to always update themselves with skills, education and so on to avoid being bullied or looked down on in marriage.

She called on women to spice up their sex lives and have regular sex with their spouses to curb the temptation of going outside.

She also advised men to learn ways of pleasing their wives sexually to make them enjoy it, adding that sex was not just for doing sake, it had to be enjoyed.

Senior Pastor, CMWI Gwagwalada, Rev. Ayodele Yama said God holds women in high esteem so women should see themselves the way God sees them.

According to Yama, women are builders so they should be assisted to achieve their potential and the best way to do that is to allow a woman to be herself and not to cage her.

“Today, we are meeting with a group of potential women who are climbing up the ladder in age and otherwise, they should know that they are so important that they should not give up

“Some of them are more than the age of marriage already but no husband yet, so it is important for them to know that life is worth more than having a husband. Life is about fulfilling your destiny and God’s purpose,’’ he said

Yama also advised couples to see themselves as best friend and to also know that nobody was perfect so they would always make mistakes.

He urged couples to always give room for lapses, and make do with their differences.

Rev. Veronica Yama, the president of CWFI, Gwagwalada said that the group was trying to bridge the gap between older women and younger women in the society.

She said that there was no need criticising young girls who dress wrongly rather they should be mentored and thought the ways of God and allow the Holy Spirit guide them.

According to her, a woman is not less than a man, therefore, she could be whatever she wanted to be so they should always lean on the Holy Spirit to see them through.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the six years imprisonment imposed on a former Federal Director of Pensions, Mister John Yakubu, and also ordered him to refund the sum of N22.9b to the Federal Government.

The N22.9b was part of the police pension fund he admitted before a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to have been misappropriate

Justice Tijjani Abubakar in a judgment in an appeal filed by Yusuf upheld the decision of the Court of Appeal which in 2018 sent him to six years imprisonment in addition to the refund of the sum.

The apex court held that Yusuf and others engaging in fraudulent practices must be told through court judgments that it is no longer business as usual.

The Senate had ruled out the possibility of having results transmitted electronically when it voted that the NCC, with the National Assembly’s approval, would determine whether INEC could transmit results electronically or not.

Similarly, the House of Representatives, on July 16, passed the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill, maintaining the controversial Clause 52(2) as presented amidst protests, especially by members of the minority caucus.

Justice Abubakar said that the appeal of the former federal pension director seeking to set aside the six years jail term against him was frivolous and devoid of merit.

He further held that victims of the convicted director deserve restitution which can only be achieved through justice.

Yusuf had dragged the Federal Government before the apex court seeking to overturn the six years imprisonment slammed on by the Court of Appeal.

The former pensions director, who is serving the six years jail term at the Kuje correctional facility, also asked the Supreme Court to set aside a whopping sum of N22.9 billion he was ordered to refund to the government treasury by the Court of Appeal in a 2018 judgment.

He was sent to prison in 2018 by the Court of Appeal in Abuja upon being found guilty of defrauding the Federal Government to the tune of N22.9 billion through police pensions.
