The fact about this Islam first and talks of Shariah in the SW is that, you're talking about it with your own kinsmen whom religion has taken over their mindsets,wahhabism has destroyed their thinking
This is why the igbo nation must not allow these demonic religion to divide us
This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.
The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.
I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.
She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.
Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.
When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.
Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):
50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.
I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.
The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.
We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.
This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.
You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.
To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.
As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.
It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.
Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️
Religion is too dangerous, and it cannot be over stated how dangerous it is.
Your tribe and nationality that significantly affects your day to day material conditions is what religion convinces you to put below a religious identity that will only start to matter after you die.
Yoruba women fought for their right to education down to rights to vote though.
Funmilayo Ransome Kuti was the Pioneer of female education in the Yorubaland
These are the things that Islam gave women for free.
A woman wrote the highest numbers of Hadith, which was well accepted till today.
Women have never struggled to get educated in Islam, it's culture that forbade them, not religion.
Now that these blood sucking demons are requesting for Sharis laws to be implemented in Oyo State. You can see why Islamic clerics are so dead silent about this kidnapping!!! Can they call their people to order??
I am more open to criticism of China coming from other developing countries than from Western ones, because I do not trust that the West has any intention of creating an equitable international order.
The West built a liberal international order with rules that asymmetrically benefited itself. When China managed to defy this order and compete with the West on *Western* terms, the West abandoned it, suddenly embracing economic nationalism and protectionism.
All nation-states act in their own self-interest. But the West has the clearest track record of imperialism — from the colonial era, through the liberal international order, to its now unapologetic embrace of nationalism. That history matters.
If there is election in a state, IGP will deploy 30,000 men to that state.
Teachers and Children were kidnapped, no such deployment or fierce effort to retrieve the children.
Elections are more important to these men than our well-being.
