My son, give me your heart and let your eyes find delight in my ways,--proverbs 23:26

For cursed is the man who trusts in mere human and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the LORD.--Jeremiah 17:5

Yet you have not listened to Me," declares the LORD, "in order that you might provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands to your own harm[.--Jeremiah 25:7

Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." --1st Corinthians 6:16

Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.--2 Timothy 2:22

A word is enough for the wise.

You must be mistaking me for your father.
I never used ONLY, you did.
Although, your insanely idiotic ranting is the reason your father should have used a condom, nonetheless, I have no words to banter with you but a few words have I for your father.
Tell him, that for having denied you a proper upbringing, the greatest miseries of his life is about to befall him and his soul about to be torn in pieces as he watches the ill-begotten child of his loin perish before his eyes sooner than later.

Bros last last you go dey alright
Girls can harbor infection ehnnnn

The truth of the thing be say if na hiv you dey fear
Nor worry hiv nor dey quick enter person body like that
Hiv nor dey quick enter person body so easily
Except the only way you get hiv is if you have an untreated syphillis. Other STDs can get into our body easily but not hiv

If not the whole world would be infected with HIV viruse already

Some pple think it's only HIV that can kill dem or that one can get with unprotected sex.. There are loads of infection one can get even with condom use.. I got HPV genital warts.. The warts are gone but the virus sticks with u for life,only if u ve an immune system to fight it, which takes years, shey na our youths wey dey drink wey alcohol Don chop their immune system wan heal lol. I used a condom when I got infected o imagine.. Even syphilis, herpes,heptitis etc one can get these infections even with the use of condom.. So Ji masun..all OLOSHO patronizers,be warned o..
