Men run away when they find out I’m a virgin – Viral ex-corper

Justina Dauda, a former corps member, gained attention recently when she proudly declared that she completed her National Youth Service (NYSC) program as a virgin.

The 20-year-old Political Science graduate from Taraba State University shared her story with the intention of inspiring young girls.

She further dedicated her special day to the Taraba State University Department of Political Science and International Relations class of 2021, expressing her prayers for more virgin corps members from the university.

In an interview, Justina revealed that whenever she informs men that she is a virgin, they tend to distance themselves from her.

She shared her journey, mentioning that seeing her name on the graduation list brought her immense joy as it wasn’t an easy feat.

She became emotional, remembering her late father, who passed away while she was in her first year of university.

Justina made a personal commitment to herself and God not to engage in any immoral acts that would compromise her virginity, especially during times of financial difficulty.

She stood firm in her resolve, believing it was a way to honor her late father.

In her words:
“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.

“When I was broke, I promised myself not to participate in any immoral act that would make me lose my virginity. It was between me and God, that I will never disgrace my late father. I took my stand and have remained intact till now. No matter the situation, nothing will happen to my virginity.

I faced challenges during my service year. I met people who wanted to date me but sleep with me first. Some people will spoil your name and claim that they slept with you if you resist them, even when they’ve never had a form of intimacy with you.

It takes a lot of discipline to be able to ignore temptations. Some of my friends actually mocked me and told me I won’t come back home as a virgin, why some were waiting to hear bad news about me. I was happy that I finished strong.

“There is nothing wrong with making the post public in my perception. I want to motivate young girls out there and let them know that keeping one’s self is dignifying. I want to serve as an example to my younger ones; I want people to know keeping one’s virginity is not hard. It requires self-discipline and determination.

It is important to be prayerful, young girls should be content as well; men nowadays want to sleep with you before giving you money. Many young girls now are not content. They want to be seen among big girls. They should also avoid early relationships. The ideal age to start a relationship is 20.

I think virginity is what every woman should be proud of, whether she is a Christian or not. It is so unfortunate that some men don’t value virginity anymore.

“Some men will tell you they can’t marry a virgin, and that they can’t go through the stress of deflowering a lady. I have met so many men who ran away from me because I told them I am a virgin.”
