Onilne and in print, Karim Lamido has been telling the intriguing story of how she has been able to keep her virginity at 20.
She has just competed her National Youths Service Corps Service in Kano State but she says she remains a virgin despite all the temptation and mockery she has suffered.
Karim insists she will remain a virgin till she gets married.
In an interview with ‘The Punch’, she explains:
“When I was in secondary school, my mum used to tell me not to allow men to touch me. She used to say that if a man touched me I would get pregnant. She told me once a man slept with me, I was finished. She warned me not to have misleading friends and I am happy I didn’t disappoint my mum and my late dad. When I was younger, I read books about keeping one’s virginity. In the olden days, it was a thing of honor. Before my dad passed on, he used to tell me not to allow any man to deceive me in the name of material things.
“(I call myself virgin corper) because I am a virgin and I made a post about it. People call me the “virgin corper”. Actually, when the graduation list was published before I graduated from the university, seeing my name made me excited because it wasn’t easy for me. I burst into tears. At the age of 19, I was one of the youngest corps members from Taraba State. I got into the university at the age of 15. I was 19 when I arrived at the orientation camp. I lost my father when I was in my first year at the university, so my mum has been trying her best to make sure my needs are catered for. I shed tears when I remember my late dad.”
