(Human Life International<\/a>) The future looks brighter for Nigerian mothers and their babies as\u00a0Human Life International\u00a0equips the nation\u2019s nurses with pro-life education and training. The College of Nursing Sciences Adazi-Nnukwa, in Anambra, Nigeria, offered the Human Life International program to its nursing students over the summer. The course was also open to those enrolled in basic midwifery studies.<\/p>\n

The 500 student nurses, male and female, coming out of the college are equipped with the knowledge and understanding to help combat the country\u2019s well publicized high maternal death rate and the\u00a0ideological colonization being perpetrated against African women by western organizations under the guise of women\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

Human Life International Nigeria Director Charles Nnagboh, explained how the student nurses are presented with pro-life perspectives to accompany the medical training they have received. The curriculum also addresses the myths and facts surrounding abortion, contraception and natural family planning, sexual relationships, and assisted reproductive technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal of this program,\u201d detailed Nnagboh, \u201cis to equip these student nurses with the information, education and skills to become effective pro-life practitioners who will courageously spread the gospel of life and provide their patients with healthy, life-affirming alternatives to the culture of death being forced on Africans by those from Western nations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many students were profoundly impacted by viewing video footage of aborted babies and those of living children in utero.<\/p>\n

One nurse in training, Perpetua, remarked that the film,\u00a0The Hard Truth<\/em>, \u201cexposed the reality that abortion is not healthcare but deliberate killing of the innocent.\u201d She said, \u201cI have resolved with all the strength in me to change this narrative by enlightening others, so they won\u2019t fall for the same lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still in shock that what is being touted as compassion for women is butchery of an innocent human being,\u201d added her classmate Onyeka. \u201cI have since reconciled with God and have vowed not only to stop pushing for abortion but also to help women in crisis pregnancy choose life.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Ngozi, another student, she wondered aloud why such a barbaric act should be labeled as \u201cchoice.\u201d That was how abortion had been marketed to her, and she herself had had three abortions. Ngozi is now reaching out to her friends with the truth about abortion, adding that, \u201cI was blind but now I can see. Thanks to Human Life International\u2019s life-saving work.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the most populous black nation on Earth and Africa\u2019s largest economy, sub\u2013Saharan Nigeria has been a popular target of western global entities. With agendas that regularly provide so called \u201csafe abortion\u201d services to a country where abortion is not allowed, there has been a huge focus on birth control, sterilization, and supplying abortion pills.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently, UNICEF started aggressive training of midwives, nurses, and health workers in artificial birth control,\u201d reported Nnagboh. \u201cThey plan to deploy 4,000 midwives to rural communities in the Nigerian state of Anambra, where The College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu is located.\u201d<\/p>\n

Human Life International\u2019s mission includes large scale promotion of Natural Family Planning, a non-abortifacient, non-chemical, non-mechanical, safe alternative to the birth control promoted heavily by the abortion industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe culture of death in Africa teaches student nurses, midwives and health workers that contraceptives are the only way to go in family planning,\u201d Nnagboh explained. \u201cAfter learning about artificial birth control and its devastating effects on souls, bodies, and marriages, nursing student Emeka vowed to replicate the training in rural communities to give women of childbearing age a \u201ccredible and godly alternative\u201d to the artificial birth control being touted as healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n

One western-funded group, Ipas Nigeria, claims to have \u201caverted\u201d 642,000 unsafe abortions and 150,000 unintended pregnancies. Ipas also touts \u201cevidence\u201d that pregnant mothers can \u201csafely manage their own abortions,\u201d messaging that Nnagboh\u2019s team counters with the hard facts of life from Human Life International\u2019s pro-life teaching materials.<\/p>\n

Once a child has been conceived, the curriculum states, \u201ca woman has already procreated\u2026\u201d The only question that remains is whether or not she will deliver that baby or allow someone to kill it. As for \u201csafe\u201d abortion, the materials detail that an abortion of any ilk \u201cis anything but safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough abortion, birth control and sterilization, Africa\u2019s population has long been intentionally targeted for decimation,\u201d observed Emil Hagamu, Nnagboh\u2019s Human Life International colleague and Regional Director for English speaking Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe western world reeled in horror when late in 2022, news broke about women being forced to have abortions by the Nigerian army. Reuters revealed in December that at least 10,000 pregnancies had been terminated among women and girls impregnated by Islamist insurgents over the last decade,\u201d stated John Martin, Human Life International Chief Advancement Officer, \u201cYet, there are almost two million abortions of Nigerian babies each year by those who have been sent to provide \u2018help\u2019 to Nigerian women. In a country where abortion is outlawed except to save an expectant mother from death, 45 out of each 1,000 pregnancies ends in intentional abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n
