Published on by faveguyLeave a comment

Despite the temporary closure of Nigeria international airports, a chartered flight from the United States of America, USA, Monday landed at the Muritala Muhummed International Airport, Lagos with 35 persons aboard. The passengers aboard the flight are Americans working with the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.

The chartered flight is one of the “essential flights” granted permission by the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Aviation, to land during the suspension of all commercial and private jets movements in the country due to the Corona virus pandemic.

“The letter seeking permission to embark on the flight and land at any of the Nigerian major airports was sent to the Ministry of Aviation for approval and communicated in a letter to the various Aviation agencies to ensure seamless facilitation of the flight”, a ministry official said.

After thorough screening of the American passengers by officials of the Port Health services, they departed on an Air Peace airline chartered flight to Calabar their final destination.

Recall last Thursday , a similar essential flight was done by Air France who evacuated 260 Dutch, French and German nationals resident in Nigeria and wanted to leave the country.

The Air France is expected to evacuate more people on the 2nd and 9th of April, 2020. In the coming weeks more of these evacuations are expected with the permission of the Federal Government through the Minister of Aviation as essential flights.

All international flights have been banned from coming to the country and the four major international airports in Lagos Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano closed to flight operations by the federal government.
Domestic airlines have on their own grounded flight operations across the country to help the government combat the spread of the virus. Currently, no flight operations in the country.

HEALTH: Two Ways To Get Pregnant Without Penetration

Published on by faveguyLeave a comment

Q: My fiancée and I have been fooling around. I mean that we do a lot of stuff but he has never penetrated me in recent time. Now, I missed my period. Is it possible that I am pregnant?

A: While it is highly unlikely, it is definitely possible for a woman of reproductive age to get pregnant without having penetrative sex. Remember that in order for conception to occur, there must be the fertilization of a released egg by a sperm. The sperm usually swims upward to meet the egg after semen has been released during vaginal penetration. However, penetration is not absolutely necessary for this to happen.

The following are some ways that pregnancy can result without vaginal penetration:

  1. Ejaculation close to the vagina

If a man partner ejaculates around a woman’s external genitalia (vulva), then there is a chance that the semen can seep into vagina. Of course, the chances of getting pregnant are highest if his penis directly grinds against the vulva and while it is possible if either or both partners are wearing light underwear but is very unlikely when fully clothed (dry-humping).

  1. Introduction of semen by a finger or any object.

During sexual activity, a woman or her partner could get some semen on a finger, sex toy or similar object, and then insert same into or around the vagina. Naturally, not many sperm cells would survive this journey but then again, all it takes for conception is ONE.

Final word

Frankly speaking, the chances of a woman getting pregnant without vaginal penetration are low because sperm do not survive for long outside the body. Still, no one knows when that strong spermatozoa can find its way up there.

If you do not want to get pregnant yet, then you and your partner should practice contraception. Using condoms the right way is particularly advisable for not only preventing unwanted pregnancies, but also sexually transmitted diseases.
