Meet the 19-year old student of the School of
Nursing, Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi Araba, Mosunmola Oladipo, has
won the Miss Virginity 2015 beauty pageant.
At a time many people are becoming
increasingly uncomfortable with the rate of sexual immorality among the youth,
a 19-year old student of the School of Nursing, Lagos University Teaching
Hospital, Idi Araba, Mosunmola Oladipo, has won the Miss Virginity 2015 beauty
pageant.
Oladipo beat 51 other self-confessed virgins
at the event held on Saturday in Surulere, Lagos.
According to her, there was a lot of pressure
from many people outside, but she was able to preserve her flower based on her
conviction.
Oladipo said, “It’s all about
self-determination. It is about knowing what you want to achieve. It is a thing
of honour to be a virgin.”
Although the originator of the competition,
Princess Adunni Adediran, noted that the contestants were not medically or
physically tested, she said it was organised to honour and appreciate virgins.
According to her, the judges considered the candidates’
appearances and I.Q.
Adediran said, “I was thinking of our female
children who men repeatedly use to satisfy their carnal desires before they are
finally dumped. These girls will have undergone several abortions till their
wombs are damaged. And when they marry they cannot have children. Some girls
even run mad.”
She added that some of the 52 contestants
were mobilised by a Muslim cleric, Alfa Sharafadeen Bulala.
“When he saw our handbills, he was excited at
the prospects and invited virgins in his mosque and the surrounding
neighbourhood.
“When we started, we had a veteran
gynaecologist helping us – Dr. Naimdeem Adeikemade. But some parents were
grumbling that we were violating the privacy of their children by inspecting
their privates. The ministry of health also wrote me a letter in 2009 on the
same issue.
“This time around, God forbid that anyone who
is not a virgin would come here to contest. I’m not testing them but they don’t
know,” she said.
Bulala and a church leader, Dr. Adedayo
Oyebamjo, as well as Associate Prof. of Guidance and Counselling, Dr. Oluyemisi
Pitan, addressed the girls on health, social and other related issues.
