In other news, Nigerian writer and social commentator, Reno Omokri, has averred that abstinence remains the best policy for both men and women.

He said the world would be a much better place if everyone preserved their marriage till they got married.

The ex-aide to former president Goodluck Jonathan stated this via his Twitter account as he warned that intercourse is addictve and once one starts, it will be difficult to stop.

Reno earlier said virgins should not feel embarrassed when their peers mock them because deep within, those people are crying and wishing they never lost their virginity.

According to him, their laughter is a form of manipulation to ensure that the virgin goes ahead to engage in the act and become like them.

Omokri wrote; “When you have intercourse once, you will have it again. And again. It is a hunger that gets hungrier the more you eat. So, do not awaken that hunger until you marry. Look at the world. Would it not be a much better place if we all kept our virginity until marriage?

He added; “When you are a virgin and your peers laugh at you, they are actually crying inside. Their external laugh is just to manipulate you to be like them. In 5 minutes, you can be like them. But in 5 million years, they can never be like you. So, keep it. You are special!”
