What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Ashiru founded MART, 30 years ago.

Speaking on the theme of the lecture, “More Joy To Families Through Reproductive Assisted Technology,” Ashiru disclosed that no fewer than 2,500 babies are born in Nigeria yearly through ART, especially IVF.

He added, “We are intolerant to wheat grown in other parts of the world due to its gluten content. If Nigerians consume cassava bread, farmers in the Western world could suffer economically. Nigeria is an oil-producing country, and people from those areas often require IVF treatment because of antimony, which is toxic to embryos. Oil fossils can lower sperm count, cause difficulty in conception, and lead to miscarriages, as do pesticides.”

He added that infertility is preventable if people are cautious about their nutrition and daily activities.

Ashiru also mentioned that modern medicine had provided ways to remove toxins that could prevent embryos from growing in a woman’s body.
