Culture of Life Africa

Uju Ekeocha

Lat night I was blessed by having dinner  with a most

 remarkable lady from Nigeria , see opposite.

Last summer she " happened " to be watching CNN ( a thing she rarely does ) and saw Melinda Gates, wife of one of the richest men in the world, claiming Africans needed contraceptives and abortion. She stayed up all night writing an open letter to Mrs Gates challenging her to uphold the dignity of African women.  This letter went viral on the internet  and she started  Culture of Life Africa ,

You may read this beautiful letter at :

The people here at SPUC Head Office  saw this letter but did not know how to contact her. Then some time later she was at a silent retreat and was introduced to Antonia Tully who edits our Pro- Life Times newspaper. Uju features in the front page of our September 2013 edition.

Uju has a Masters Degree in bio-chemistry .  She also has first hand knowledge about health needs in Africa as she  has lost a close relative in childbirth. This cousin died with a breach birth , there was no hospital where she lived for her to get even basis health care, this was her first birth . The truck loads of condoms etc , from Mrs Gates failed to save this life and many others.

I hope to have Uju come with me to the UN to encourage the African nations to stand up to the bullying tactics of the US and EU. She can speak very eloquently to the real health needs of African women and their babies.
