By the time you are 40 you should have about two friends left that you don’t even have time to see.

Yes I’ll admit That post about Caesarian section triggered me Because I’m a woman who was in labour for 40 hours I was given the maximum dose of oxytocin three times to induce labour and did not dilate beyond 2cm I was so mentally prepared to push out a human but my body just wouldn’t Which one should I talk about? The intense pain ripping through me every few minutes? Should I talk about how excruciating it is to have doctors check you for dilation while you’re actively in labour? Should I talk about the exhaustion? Should I talk about how that when those who have vaginal delivery have long forgotten CS moms are still grappling with wounds and pain and numbness and tingling from the anaesthetsia? I had my baby in Canada and the nurses kept asking me if I wanted a pain relief I did not want any drug to interfere I was ready to bear the pain and I did I think I have the most supportive husband in the world. He stood there every second with me. Holding my hand. Wincing as Pain coursed through me But he did not feel the pain. Not the physical one. I did. So has every woman who has gone through this When the doctors saw that my contractions were not the “good type”, they said I could get a uterine rupture, I had to be taken for a CS. And everyday I’m grateful to God for the miracle of a CS That a mother who has given her all can still have her baby and they both be fine So sir, when you have had contractions for 40 hours When you have had 7 layers of your body sliced open so you can bring forth children When you have gone months nursing a wound that is layers deep When you’ve been placed on a cold surgical table and cut 7 layers deep For some 4 times. Then come back and have this Conversation with me Thank God for your mother and the long line of women in your family that had vaginal deliveries. But no two women are the same. Don’t put that burden on the woman you would marry. A CS is not a shortcut A CS does not make a woman weak A CS does not happen because you did not pray enough or you’re unlucky A CS is a medical miracle so that women like me especially pre term moms, can come out alive from the mystery that is pregnancy and childbirth Blessings.

Actually it’s because nobody likes those Yoruba foods enough & they are hardly eaten outside SW except by Yoruba people so nobody feels the urge to call it any other name in any other language Igbo foods on the other hand are world class, eaten everywhere, hence the names

All the negative brouhaha around NELFUND is frankly embarrassing. Please, if not for poverty mentality and mumu politics, who gets mad at INTEREST FREE LOANS for the love of God?! How are you upset, someone is freeing up your capital! I don’t get it 😭

“It’s either I’m in love or I’m not , disrespect is a big thing for me , the moment you do something disrespectful that my brain shifts , all the love will be gone” - Old video of Mayowa talking about love resurface online

lol. I honestly don’t think Zach has the range. Taiwo Oyedele would be the better choice is we are changing Wale Edun. I mean, the contrast could not be more stark Let Zach remain as FIRS chairman

Honest question from a concerned Nigerian citizen 🥹 When Peter Obi becomes president, will the price of fuel and house rent go down ?

What was called an Iranian regime conspiracy theory has now been confirmed by the President of the united States. Not only were the Iranian “protestors” violent, they were armed with “a lot” of guns given to them by the United States.

My dear Muslim brothers and sisters, when was your Walimatul Qur’an?
