Why Nigeria Can’t Rely On Donors’ Funding- UNFPA Chief

Nigeria cannot continue to rely on donor support for family planning and lifesaving commodities, the Executive Director of the United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA), Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin has said.

The UNFPA chief, who is also the UN Under Secretary, is in Nigeria for a three-day visit with the Permanent Secretary of the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DfID), Mark Lowcock, to boost access to reproductive health services.

Estimates have it that DFID funds nearly 60 per cent of family planning commodities in Nigeria’s public health sector.

At a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyema in Abuja, yesterday, Osotimehin said there has to be a larger commitment where the government should plan to transit out of “donor support over time.”

He called on states to step up support for life-saving interventions instead of leaving all funding and support to the Federal Government.

Osotimehin pledged the support of the UN agency for the Presidential Committee on North East Intervention, stressing that most of the support to the region would be channeled through the panel.

Onyema lamented how the insurgency in the North East was derailing the health and humanitarian situations of the people resident there.

The minister, however, maintained that government was working hard to ensure the streamlining of donor support for the region.

Meet The Man With 106 Children

A man who has S3x with women to get them pregnant insists he’s just providing a service for those who are looking to create a family.
Ed who has 106 children – all of whom he knows barring just two – is a sperm donor who helps women who are struggling to conceive.

Known as ‘Ed the Inseminator’ the Holland native, who has triple the average sperm count, doesn’t charge the women and sees “creating a new life” as his reward.
Speaking with Jodie Marsh in her new TLC documentary, Jodie Marsh is Making Babies, Ed explains why women are queuing up to use his special service.

I’m a private sperm donor and I help people who cannot have children because they need a sperm cell and a bit of luck.
“Some women say to me, ‘I never grew up imagining a Prince Charming on a white horse with a syringe and I want the creation of my child to be a moment that I can remember as warm and intimate.’”

The revelation leaves model Jodie in utter shock as she says to the cameras:

 “These women want to be impregnated by him, my head is going to explode I can’t understand this at the moment.”Today has completely blown my mind, I just refuse to believe as a woman you’d ever be that desperate to sleep with a total stranger, to give you a baby.””Before I met Ed, I genuinely thought this is just an excuse to have S3x with women. But equally I can see he puts up a good argument why it’s nicer to have S3x..
