Sex education is pretty non-existent in Nigeria, yet people are having sex. We decided to debunk a few myths around sex so more young people can stay safe.
One of the best and worst parts of social media is how it has changed relationships!
One moment you’re laughing at a similar joke, the next thing dm, the next thing love is in the air!
But because human beings are professionals at behaving somehow, the love can sometimes miss road.
And you wonder how you got yourself into this nonsense situation!
Because we love you, Zikoko made a video where people spoke about the ups and downs of finding love on social media.
If you can relate (which we are sure many of you can), tell us about your experiences in the comments section.

4. What you decide to do with your body, especially sex, is primarily your decision, not anyone else’s.
5. It’s okay if you decide to be abstinent, but you still need to learn about contraception and your body.
6. Lying about your sexual activity to your doctor doesn’t help anybody, especially you.
7. There are many, many Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Sexually Transmitted Infections you need to learn about.
8. Having period irregularities is quite common, just make sure you go to see a doctor.
