The rate at which the value of naira depreciates over the last few months have been so alarming, but the last few days seem to have the worse of it. On Tuesday February 17, it was N348 to $ 1, yesterday morning (February 18) it increased to N358 to $1. At night, which is now the latest, it became N400 to $1. Only God knows what the outcome will be today.
Valentine is fast approaching and the Government of Thailand have decided to launch a campaign to help its citizens that are too shy to buy condoms. They will therefore distribute condoms in large quantities to the citizens in a campaign tagged "Condoms for Confidence". According to Thongchai Lertwilairattanapong of the Ministry of Public Health, " This valentine, there is a high tendency of people, most especially youths getting involved in unprotected sex". "Teenagers, especially, do not have to be embarrassed about buying condoms. The s ociety also have to accept that teenage girls buy condoms, which is better than more teenage girls getting pregnant. We have to persuade Thais to accept condoms as a hygiene item in everyday life to protect against pregnancy and AIDS".
