According to the Guttmacher Institute, an estimated 456,000 unsafe abortions are done in Nigeria every year. This act of abortion is said to be rampant among the youths, which has led to untimely death, infertility, uterus damage, cervix damage just to mention a few.
Parents cause some of the reasons why Nigerian youths engage in abortion. Also, exposure to unsuitable content on TV, lack of attention, no proper communication between parents and children, not exposing them to Godly words at tender age, peer influence, rape, family background, to mention but a few
Abortion is not good and should be eradicated among the Nigerian youths.
To eradicate abortion, Nigerian youths should wait till they get married before engaging in sexual activities. Parents should ensure they give proper attention to the wellbeing of their children at tender ages so that when they grow up, they will not engage in wrong activities that could lead them to unwanted pregnancy.
Nigerian Health workers and other organisation should sensitise the youth about sex education.
The Nigeria government is really needed to find a way to punish healthcare workers who engage in performing abortions whether through selling of pills or injections.
