The Ministry of Health ought to be commended for the job well done with regard to supplying free condoms. Halls of residence in Makerere University have health ministers whose most important role is to ensure that condoms are constantly available in the condom dispensers strategically placed on all blocks.
Every week, the health Minister is charged with placing two boxes of condoms at each block. Each box contains 100 pieces, so each week a block uses 200 condoms on average. There are twenty blocks on the smallest hall.
That means, an average hall of residence uses 4000 pieces of rubber. This is ignoring the fact that some people don’t use the plain coloured condoms instead opting for flavoured and studded brands.
That’s a mind boggling number, putting aside the wasted condoms at 500.That Means in an average hall students have sex a mind boggling 3500 times every week, with the graph peaking from Thursday .
The research ignores the fact that some students go swimming naked… That’s obviously risky behavior considering the increased crocodiles today. Back to the numbers, each hall contains around 350 residents that means on average a hall resident fornicates up to 10 rounds every given week.
Numbers don’t lie. Fortunate Ambangira, a hall health Minister, confirms that often on weekends he’s forced to engage in emergency supply of condoms in addition to those days when the days are cold, condoms simply vanish into thin air.
However there are unconfirmed reports that, some of the free condoms don’t fit. Either the condoms are too small or the pens are too big. We can’t confirm.
