"Sanitary pads should be free, condoms should be sold, sex is a choice; Menstruation isn't" - Nigerian lady

The price of sanitary pads is climbing at an alarming rate. Many girls and women can no longer afford sanitary protection during their periods and have resorted to old cloth bundled up with toilet papers or cotton and or just plain cloth. Unbelievable? No, that is a fact. A Nigerian lady, Vivian Ugwu is now advocating for free sanitary items. Your thoughts?

    Meals should be subsidised for males but petrol should not be.

    Males eat more due to our naturally bigger bodies. Products using petrol as fuel are gotten by choice.

    The government has to ensure all males get meals subsidy for life.

    In as much as this ma sound weird. She is truly correct. Not everyone can afford the new rate of sanitary pad.This should be looked into. from #200 to #400 seriously? Linda let's do a donation

    Thousands have sex without condom but a girl can't menstruate without pads. Pads should be almost free. This movement was actually started by CHINELO AKORAH a legal practitioner in Delta State.

    Am in full support but then condoms should be free as well...Icharity is the real deal ‎‎
    It is an online peer to peer donation program where you are expected to donate N6,000 to someone and you in turn get donation from 5people and earn 30,000 in the process this will then take you to the next grade, where you are expected to earn N300,000 with only 12k donation.‎
    ‎
    In Icharity, you are expected to recruit 3 people ‎and they system will randomly provide 2 more people to make donation. However, its only in grade one that you are expected to recruit people. From grade 2 onward, the system will randomly connect you with those who will provide help.

    ‎Note: Your down lines pay directly into your account in grade one and whatever spill over you have goes to other 'down lines' who may not be able to get 5 people to provide the needed help. You can however, choose to get all the donations from all your spill over but that will be when you get to grade 5..... https://goo.gl/9xKtPL ‎

    She copied it from a Kenyan woman's page.
    Condom should be free because it prevents diseases.
    Menstral cycle is a natural cause. You might as well ask for free tissue for you pooh. Moron!

    This is what should be true feminism... Not fighting to maintain your surname after getting married. Fight for things that influences an average girl out there... Something that bothers on the female gender and their freedom to live without fear of anything. Nne for this, I'm going to share packs of Always UltraPad between February to April to as many poor girls as I can. Nice point.

    I think it should be subsidised. D cost is ridiculous.
