The sun beat down mercilessly on the dusty schoolyard of Gordon and Brown Secondary School in Lagos, Nigeria. Amidst the hustle and bustle of students rushing to their next class, two figures stood out: Moji and Tayo, inseparable friends since childhood. Moji, with her braided hair and infectious laughter, was the epitome of vitality. Tayo, with his easy smile and mischievous glint in his eyes, was her steadfast companion.

Their friendship had weathered the storms of adolescence, but as they entered their final year of secondary school, new challenges loomed on the horizon. Among them, the absence of adequate sex education left them navigating treacherous waters alone.

One humid afternoon, in an empty classroom after school hours, Moji and Tayo found themselves entangled in a moment of passion fueled by curiosity and ignorance. In the heat of the moment, they made a decision that would alter the course of their lives forever – they engaged in unprotected sex at the behest of Tayo who kept pestering Moji for sex. Sex meant no harm after all , they thought to themselves.

As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, Moji's once radiant smile began to falter. A gnawing fear took root in her heart as she realized the consequences of their reckless actions. Despite the whispers of doubt that plagued her mind, she couldn't bring herself to confide in Tayo or her friends.

Then, one fateful morning, Moji's world shattered into a million pieces as she discovered the unmistakable signs of pregnancy. Panic seized her heart as she grappled with the reality of her situation. Raised in a devout Christian household, the thought of abortion was unthinkable, but how could she face the shame and stigma that would accompany an unwed teenage pregnancy?

Desperation drove Moji to confide in Tayo, her voice trembling as she revealed the stark reality of the situation at hand. Shock and disbelief painted Tayo's features as he struggled to comprehend the magnitude of their predicament. How could they, two young, broke, and naive high school teenagers possibly shoulder the responsibility of parenthood?

Together, Moji and Tayo embarked on a journey fraught with uncertainty, chaos, and fear. Their once carefree days were replaced by endless Google searches, sleepless nights, and a mounting sense of dread.

Then, in a twist of fate, Moji's worst fears were realized – she was not carrying one, but two precious lives within her womb. The news sent twin shockwaves through their already fragile world, leaving them reeling with disbelief as the reality of their impending parenthood loomed ever closer.

In the end, Moji and Tayo's story served as a cautionary tale, highlighting the dire consequences of inadequate sex education. Their journey shed light on the importance of arming young people with the knowledge, insights, and resources they need to make informed decisions about their sexual health.
