Now which of you went to buy “something” from my mum this early Sunday morning??
My woman dey crash out, and you’ve now roped me into your iniquity!!😭
For the purpose of this unfold, you’ll need to know that the word “ese” from Igbo could mean three different things in English, depending on the context it’s used. What’s more? It’s spelt and pronounced the same way, only context would give you the meaning.
Ese - to draw
Ese - to drag
Ese - to smoke
Akwukwo eji ese ife - Paper used for drawing
Akwukwo eji ese ife - Paper used for smoking
Akwukwo eji ese ife - Paper used for dragging (but unlike the other two, this is not a thing)
Mum: Hello Chi, somebody came to buy “akwukwo eji ese ife”, and I wanted to ask you to be sure I wasn’t tripping, but I’ve forgotten the name.
Me: Cardboard? Canvas?
Mum: No nau! Akwukwo eji ese ife!
Me: Oh!!! Rizzler!!
Mum: Yes! That’s the one.
Me: Yeah, rizzler, that’s the paper.
Mum: 🌚
Me: 🌝
My mum and I: 👇🏾👇🏾

Comparing risks is fair, and you found numbers. The problem is that you counted the deaths but not how many times people sleep or give birth.
Almost everyone sleeps every day. Only some women give birth, and usually only a few times in their lives. If 8 billion people sleep once a day, that is about 3 trillion sleeps a year. Even if 16.4 million people die in their sleep each year, the highest number you gave, that is about 1 death in every 180,000 sleeps. In Nigeria, it is about 1 death in every 100 births. Across the whole world, it is about 1 in every 500. So applied generally, as you asked, a birth is still far riskier than a night's sleep.
Second, those people died while they were asleep. Your own source says heart attacks and strokes are mostly what killed them. If where or when you die made something a killer, beds would be killers too. When a woman dies from pregnancy, the pregnancy or the birth is part of what kills her.
Third, the phrase is about how high the risk is. A risk can be far too high even when most women survive, and 1 in 100 per birth is. Nearly three in ten of all the women who die from pregnancy worldwide die in Nigeria.
IF YOU CAN FIND AN OFFICIAL FIGURE FOR HOW MANY NIGERIANS DIE IN THEIR SLEEP, POST IT & WE CAN COMPARE PROPERLY.
Fair question, though. It just needs the right comparison.
Thank you!
I hate it so much
