An Umuahia-based non governmental organisation, NGO, Attitude Productions, has disclosed that it would encourage young girls to maintain their virginity as a way of raising moral standards in the society.
Mr Prosper Ekekwe, head of the NGO, told newsmen on Thursday in Umuahia that the group would institutionalise the celebration of a World Purity Day, to be marked every February 10.
“This group is a movement of people tired of the current moral decadence and willing to enthrone responsible living among the people and this cuts across religion and race.
“The 2012 celebration is going to be the first of its kind the world over and it is important to note that this celebration is starting in Nigeria,
“Any girl that keeps her virginity till marriage will be celebrated and the first set of virgins will be rewarded with brand new cars during the 2013 World Purity Day,” he said.
Ekekwe said such virg Februaryins would only be identified at their wedding eve, after a confirmation of their status by a team of female medical doctors.
“We will also set up Purity Brigade in all secondary schools across the country and purity homes to rehabilitate harlots and drug addicts,” he stated, stressing that the group also had packages for outstanding students of institutions of higher learning.
This, he said would be done in partnership with their respective institutions and “we shall crown such people with Ambassadors of Purity Award at their convocation.”
He said the aim of the awards was to dissuade the younger generation from engaging in activities that would further erode the image of the country.
Ekekwe said that the group was discussing with multinationals and financial institutions to realise its set goals.
