They fell in love, had relationships, married and had children. What was their secret of success?.
Addressing masturbation, Okwaraekezie said “l learned masturbation through my peers. I grew up in a suburb and in a compound of face me I face you with my father. In that compound we had only one toilet and bathroom with so many people.
“In the morning, everybody will be on the queue to use the toilet and the bathroom. The elders in the compound allowed all the young boys in the compound that are going to school to bath together in the bathroom.”
” For five years , I was masturbating until I became addicted to the extent that the next thing I wanted to do was to practice premarital sex. A time came when I wanted to stop it because it was affecting me psychologically and health wise but I couldn’t”.
“This was the first time I knew the implication and harm of what I had involved myself in. I tried so many things to stop it, I used some drugs but to no avail. To the extent I even wanted to cut off my genital. All my effort to stop masturbation was fruitless….. I turned to God”. READ ALSO:
