In most parts of Africa, there is placement of high premium on girl-child or woman’s virginity. There is a belief that a virgin is spiritually pure and has high spiritual value. For instance, in South Africa, there is a widespread belief that having sexual intercourse with a virgin can help cure HIV/AIDS infection. In South West Nigeria, the Osun people believes that the city-state cleansing ritual can only be performed with the involvement of a virgin chosen by the deity herself and groomed for that special purpose. The belief of the power held by the state of virginity of woman differs from place to place in sub-Saharan African cultures............
The power of sex in traditional Africa religions has been established above. Going further, in most African cultures, there are outrageous beliefs in the power of sex as a spiritual currency. After blood, there is a belief that sex is the next most important spiritual currency. Virgin’s blood is a special and rare commodity that commands so much power and value in spiritualism and most African traditions and religions. There are unconfirmed reports that powerful rituals involving virgin’s blood or newborn blood are reportedly performed everywhere, on daily basis.
