We haven’t done a great job of putting it out there but we’re creating a health fund for women. If you know any woman in Nigeria who’s struggling to afford bills related to childbirth, postpartum care, or family planning, we have some money for them.

Wrote a guest article for @TechCabal on why 74% of VC funding for women’s health startups has gone to fertility and pregnancy solutions, while areas like PCOS, pelvic health, endometriosis, breast cancer etc get almost nothing. techcabal.com/2026/01/24/afr…

In 2023, I started Nigeria's 1st breastfeeding clinic, The BestFeeding Club…👩🏽‍⚕️🤱🏽 Now, we run breastfeeding clinics in; - Evercare Hospital - Paelon Memorial Hospital - Atlantis Pediatric Hospital - KAAF Specialist Hospital As well as a 24/7 Breastfeeding Hotline. Praise God

In 2025, we launched the Maternal Care Fund and supported 12 women through childbirth. But more than anything, we learned that people care deeply when you give them a reason to. Read our full year in review to see what we did and what's coming in 2026 substack.com/home/post/p-18…

One Word; Powerful! 💪 That’s how we describe the Global Race Against Femicide! #RunForHer was hugely successful, due to Participants who understood the message; about asking for Justice, and Honoring the Memory of Victims! Thank you Lagos #RaceAgainstFemicide2

Today, we stand with the Women of South Africa in solidarity against GBV and femicide. Let's amplify the voices demanding justice. Women cannot only be safe in caskets😔 We need a world where women and girls can live without fear. 💜💜#DeclareGBVFANationalDisaster #EndFemicide

This isn’t because prevention doesn’t exist, but because too many pregnant women aren’t tested or treated. Only 50% of pregnant women with HIV in Nigeria receive treatment to ensure they don’t transmit to their babies.

Nigeria has the highest number of children born with HIV in the world; about 22,000 every year. In the past three years alone, that’s enough children to fill the national stadium.

Very important for those of us in other countries to see what’s possible when we care about women’s health.

My introverted self would have kept this to myself but this I couldn’t pass. Menstrual pain isn’t a mood. it is a medical reality. Please share!

ATTENTION!!! Dear Honourable Minister @muhammadpate You announced the release of ₦32.9 billion through the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF) to strengthen Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and general hospitals across Nigeria. While this may sound like progress, the reality is that ₦32.9 billion shared across 36 states and the FCT is alarmingly insufficient to address the deep-rooted decay in our healthcare system. Across the country, hospitals and PHCs remain in deplorable condition, leaking roofs, broken beds, shortage of staff, no drugs, no electricity, and no clean water. In some communities, women still deliver babies on bare floors, and patients are asked to buy syringes and gloves. These realities expose the gap between policy announcements and what Nigerians experience daily. How can such conditions persist when billions are being released in the name of healthcare reform? This speaks volumes about the misplaced priorities of government spending. At a time when health facilities are collapsing, the Federal Government reportedly approved ₦2 billion for bush clearing, with no clear details of where and how such a staggering sum will be used. Meanwhile, the National Assembly continues to allocate billions for luxury SUVs, questionable constituency projects, and office renovations, funds that could have been channelled into saving lives and rehabilitating critical health infrastructure. If Nigeria can afford ₦2 billion for bush clearing, why is only ₦32.9 billion being allocated to serve over 200 million citizens struggling to access basic medical care? Such an amount cannot renovate a few general hospitals, let alone strengthen thousands of PHCs nationwide. This allocation is not only inadequate , it reflects poor planning and misplaced compassion. Honourable Minister @muhammadpate, Nigerians need more than promises. We call on you to publish a transparent breakdown of how this ₦32.9 billion will be spent, which facilities will benefit, what specific outcomes are expected, and how accountability will be ensured. Transparency at this stage is crucial to prevent these funds from vanishing into another cycle of waste and mismanagement. Nigerians deserve results, not rhetoric. Citizens, CSOs, and the media must stay vigilant and track every kobo of this fund. If the government can justify billions for non-essential projects, it must find the will to invest adequately in the health and survival of its people. #AskQuestions #GetInvolved

Prevent unplanned pregnancy with BACK-UP. Just one pill and you’re protected. BACK-UP has your back 💗

Nigeria's maternal healthcare infrastructure is in crisis, and women are paying the price with their lives and dignity.

This is a reminder that HIV rates are higher in women than men. 1. Many women lack the power to negotiate safe sex. 2. Higher risk of sexual violence. 3. Poverty pushes some young girls into transactional sex. 4. Women often have less access to regular testing and treatment.

Doing the lord’s work 🤏🏾

Not true. Fibroids, endometriosis, and PCOS are not lifestyle diseases. They’re complex conditions that deserve medical attention, not moral judgment.

Nothing to see here. Just a couple of Repro advocates hanging out for #InternationalSafeAbortionDay. A time was had! #ajose

If we fund public hospitals and make maternal care accessible, women won't have to die. Nigerian women are worth fighting for.

Today, Nigeria marks 65 years of independence. But for Nigerian women, freedom means nothing without the freedom to survive childbirth. To be clear: 1 in 22 Nigerian women will die from a pregnancy-related complication.
