FIRST FERTILITY WALK IN NAIJA WAS BAM!

It sure was fun and excitement as the young and old took to the street to participate in the first ever naija fertility walk which took place last Saturday the 23rd Jan. 2010. Blackbutterfly Events organized the walk under the aegis of "Walk for Fertility Nigeria". The event according to the Project Director, Glory Adeyemi, the walk was put together to show solidarity for couples who have issues with having kids. But more importantly to create awareness about the fact that there are fertility options available to such people to help them experience the joy of parenthood. In the words of Olamiju Oretola, Media & Content Manager of the project, peoples attitude and perception toward the fertility issues and those affected need to change. Hence the need to mobilize action to raise support for those affected. He says "one way or the other we are all involved, if you are not a victim, you are affected because the victim could be an aunt, uncle, sister or brother". The event was supported by Nestle Water, UAC Foods, Inspiration FM, and Reveal Image.
