Umuahia — WORRIED by the high rate of moral
decadence in our society, celebration of nudity , prevalence of sexual
abuse, prostitution and promiscuity particularly among youths, a non
profit-making organization known as Purity Word International, has moved
in to salvage the messy situation and restore human sanctity.
Addressing a world press conference in Umuahia, the International Coordinator of the group, Mr. Prosper Egekwe, lamented the near-absence of virgins nowadays, and said the group was poised to identify virgins with a view to celebrating and rewarding them at the eve of their marriages.
He said the reward of virginity would however be limited to girls as it would be medically difficult to determine "an undefiled young man", adding that before one is qualified for the award which he said would be announced soon, she has to be examined by a team of medical experts to confirm her claims of virginity.
The born again ex-movie producer said the objective of the movement was to promote purity among youths and save the next generation from the army of sexually transmitted diseases ravaging mankind by celebrating those who keep their virginity until they are legally married.
He frowned at the rate our society celebrate nudity in the name of home movies by the entertainment industry which he said has misled so many young people who now take after wrong characters as role models.
Asked why delving into the unpopular crusade, Egekwe said illicit sex is the dragging force behind other vices in society, expressing hope that if the war against the scourge is won there will be future for human race.
" Some men get drunk today so they can be bold to stand before a lady while some steal to maintain their girl friends", he said.
The Purity exponent further lamented the abuse of Valentine's Day by youths who he said had converted it into a celebration of lust and sexual madness instead of a day of showing true love to humanity without sexual undertones.
Egekwe said the maiden edition of World Purity Day would be held in Umuahia today (Friday), and subsequently on the 10th of every February, adding that membership of the movement cuts across different religions as no religion according to him encourages sex outside marriage.
He also said the group which would set up its brigade in schools would celebrate and reward outstanding students, adding that Purity Account will be opened in partnership with some banks for the beneficiaries to encourage responsible living among students but added that any one found engaging in cultism or alcoholism will lose ones benefits.
The group he further said would be involved in rehabilitating repentant prostitutes and fighting the cause of innocent rape victims.
He said that such rehabilitated repentant commercial sex workers would be assisted to acquire some vocational skills, and empowered thereafter to save them from slipping back to their old life, while adding that such people will also be placed on salary scale for the first six months after their training until they are well established.
