We couldn't remain silent after discovering @nestle adds sugar to baby formula in Nigeria but not in Europe. @WHO labeled it a "double standard," and we urge @nestle to take accountability and stop adding sugar to baby formula sold in Africa #MakeThemPay

ED is an early warning sign for diabetes, hypertension & cardiovascular issues. At @gstlivewell, we guide Nigerians on living healthier, longer.

As the heat gets worse, it's important you protect your skin with sunscreen.

Access isn’t a privilege. It’s a right. And millions in Nigeria are being denied it.

Getting tested & talking about sex isn’t shameful, silence is. For #WorldSexualHealthDay we’re launching #NoShameInTheGame with @elizaego & @HausaChocolate, unpacking barriers to care & how to break them. Join us live on @gstlivewell this Thursday 7–8PM. Don’t miss it! x.com/i/spaces/1plkq…

No warnings. No labels. No transparency. Nigerians deserve to know what’s in their drinks.

Anyone can be exposed—but children are most at risk. They drink more sodas, and their smaller bodies mean greater harm.

Coke is unsafe. And most people don’t even know the risks hidden in every bottle.

One in three Nigerian children is stunted. This is not just from hunger, but from ultra-processed diets like Milo.

The sugar contents in milo is equivalent to three cans of coca-cola yet it is marketed as “nutritious” and “safe” for children.

Until Milo’s sugar content is regulated, it has no place on breakfast tables of children.

The government allows this to continue, putting children’s health at risk. NAFDAC must act now to end this injustice. Babies deserve the same protection no matter where they’re born.

Lab tests show up to 6.8g of added sugar per serving — nearly 2 sugar cubes. The WHO recommends zero added sugar for infants under two, yet Nigerian packaging often hides this info, unlike strict European labeling.

A 2024 @PublicEyeNg & @ibfanglobal investigation found Nigerian babies consume Cerelac loaded with added sugar while the same brand sold in Europe contains none. This harmful double standard raises serious health and ethical concerns.

Milk + malt doesn’t boost your blood. It boosts your sugar levels and your risk of getting lied to. Let it go.

This is a national disgrace. It’s not normal—and we need to stop pretending it is.

Over 80% of these deaths are preventable with basic care. But the government keeps starving the health sector of funding.

Nigeria has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world—1 in 100 women dies giving birth. We showed what that horrifying reality looks like in real numbers.

The drug that saves millions of hearts every year, was almost never made because it killed cows and rats first. This is the unbelievable origin of warfarin.
