A deeply resonating affirmation
I'll be proof that miracles exist and that God is capable of doing anything.
He that walks with chukwu, can never walk on chukuchuku
One of my favourite writers of all time.
Rectal suppositories are underutilized for management of pain and fever in this parts!
What you’re seeing is the palmar grasp reflex a powerful primitive reflex present in all healthy newborns.
When something touches their palm, their fingers automatically close tightly around it. This is an evolutionary leftover that helped babies cling to their mothers. In the video, the doctor demonstrates just how strong it can be… then cleverly “disarms” the baby.
He does a quick, controlled drop of the upper body (while fully supporting the baby) and immediately catches him again. This triggers the Moro reflex (the startle reflex).
During the Moro response, the baby’s arms fly open and the hands unclench releasing the stethoscope. Both reflexes are completely normal and are routinely checked by doctors as part of the newborn neurological exam. The grasp reflex usually fades by 5–6 months as voluntary control develops.
Nature is incredible
The thing I miss most about radio are midnight callers that will call to seek relationship advice or request songs for their lovers. Simpler times
Happy birthday to the man who fought another lecturer who wanted sex over my hard work as a student. A lecturer boldly failed me because I refused a visit. He was known for it. I was in 200 level then. I saw the disappointment on my professor's face because this was someone he helped.
When the information got to my professor, he took immediate action.
On the agreed date for the hearing, I got into the room with my previous results on the table. All I heard was, "It cannot be Blessing. Dr, something is wrong. She wrote all of these in the past. She is diligent. It can't be my daughter. Dismiss this."
Although it was too late for the portal to change the verdict online, I am glad my innocence was proven. All my scripts magically reappeared. And the next generation after me has not had to deal with such an element. I saw my script. I did not fail, as written by the man who lacks self-discipline.
I have not forgotten how you stood up for me, Sir. You made sure whoever did this paid heavily for it. It is 5 years after graduation but everything is still new in my heart.
Professor Modo gave me access to his library. He encouraged me to be steadfast. He has not forgotten me. He spoke to me early this year and told me to further my studies since I am well now.
Throughout the time I was sick, he was always talking to me. He would say, "When you are ready, go to this institution and tell XYZ that you are from me."
Thank you, my amiable Professor Innocent Modo. You stood up for so many. You shielded many with school fees and feeding money. I witnessed it as a student then. May God keep shielding you, Sir.
Happy birthday to my political leader.
No public office blemish, no corrupt cases, no shady pasts - walks the talk & has proven that there's an upright way to do politics.
You're the man we say you are & thrice the man you think you are.
Happy birthday H.E Peter Obi. 🎂 🎈
Sometimes resilience looks quiet.
It looks like getting disappointed and still praying.
Getting tired and still praying.
Not understanding and still praying 🔥
Not to spoil the ending but you will win at
the end.
Remember that ♥️
Constantly getting SIGNS of GOD’S involvement in my life & watching my NEEDS, no matter how BIG or small, be met by HIM… HALLELUJAH 🤍🔥
So in KG 1, my daughter won most creative pupil ; I was proud of her. I mean it’s kg 1 and hey! My baby got awarded! Wawu!!!
In KG 2, she won best in creative arts and best hand writing and my reaction, even though I didn’t say it to her was “people are winning best in numeracy , phonics , your own is creative arts”. I was not happy , I won’t lie!
I made her repeat KG 2 for personal reasons and at the end of the academic year , she won the same two awards again!
Grade 1 came and she still won best in creative arts and best handwriting awards. In my head , I was like sey people that are winning best in Matjs , English and other subjects have 2 heads???? Ewo ni handwriting and creative arts ??🙄🙄
On Wednesday, we had the yearly award programme which I was invited for again and I honestly hoped she won something “major” and not creative arts but she won best in creative arts again in Grade 2!!!! …The moment her name was called , I clapped so loud for the first time! I decided to appreciate the genius I have . My future Picasso!!!! My creative girl!!!!
I felt so bad that I’ve looked down on the awards she got for years because it’s not Maths, English or the social sciences subjects. Her consistency of winning the same award for 5 years didn’t matter to me! I just wanted the “main” subjects like our parents 😩😩😩
That has changed anyways! I’m going to support the creative genius I have in my house with everything I have! I’ll register here for art school (Oh! She loves drawing so much!) and help her strengthen her skill!
Lauryn is soooo artistic! Drop anything here and she has made something out of it! Her brain and hands are blessed when it comes to creativity!!! I was looking for something else instead of celebrating my baby’s strength.🥹
Dear mummies and daddies , everyone can’t be maths geniuses! Some of our kids are blessed with other gifts! Let’s appreciate and celebrate them! ❤️
@IdioPhebe @osemagnum It's coming under a specialists post with this rebuttal. X is not that kind of leveller o.
Once you learn how to shop directly from China, E.g Temù or shien your wardrobe changes completely. Call me cheap I don't care I ain't rich, I don't do fraud.😭
It's knowing what to search for.
Here's my style after making plenty of mistakes.
1. T-shirts:
Skip 100% polyester unless you're buying gym wear.
Instead, search:
• 100% Cotton
• Combed Cotton
• Heavyweight Cotton
• 240-300 GSM Cotton
• Premium Cotton
• Mercerized Cotton
The heavier the GSM, the thicker and more premium the shirt usually feels.
2. Jeans:
Denim Jeans
Temu is surprisingly good for denim if you know what to search.
Search:
• Denim Jeans
• Cotton Denim
• Raw Denim
• Selvedge Denim (if available)
• 98% Cotton + 2% Elastane
• 99% Cotton
Avoid jeans with high polyester content. The more cotton, the better they'll age and feel.
3. Body-hug clothing:
Search:
• Ribbed Knit
• Modal
• Viscose Blend
• Cotton-Spandex Blend
They hold their shape much better than cheap polyester.
4. Hoodies
Search:
• 400 GSM
• French Terry
• Cotton Fleece
• Heavyweight Hoodie
5. Chains
Search:
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Titanium Steel
• PVD Gold Plated
• Vacuum Plated
These are far more resistant to fading than ordinary fashion jewelry.
6. Earrings
Search:
• 925 Sterling Silver
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Hypoallergenic
• Moissanite (if you're buying stones)
7. Scarves
Search:
• Mulberry Silk
• Silk Blend
• Cashmere Blend
• Wool Blend
• Viscose
Avoid the shiny, thin polyester scarves if you're after a premium look.
8. Loafers
Search:
• Genuine Leather
• Cow Leather
• Full Grain Leather (rare but worth looking for)
• Rubber Outsole
9. Sneakers
Search:
• Rubber Outsole
• EVA Midsole
• Breathable Mesh
• Leather Upper
• Stitched Sole
Pictures lie a lot
The description usually tells the truth.
Here's how I shop:
1. Read the material composition before anything else.
2. Sort by Most Orders or Best Selling, not cheapest.
3. Only buy products with lots of reviews or pictures or even better when a Nigerian has purchased it before they always tell the truth.
4. Read the 1-star reviews first. They'll tell you what the seller won't.
5. Look at customer photos, not the product photos.
6. Check the weight of the product. Better quality clothing is often heavier.
7. Read the size chart. Don't assume your Nigerian size matches.
8. If the title has words like "luxury," "premium," or "designer" but the material is 100% polyester, not everything but still move on.
Your best friend isn't the product picture.
It's the material, the reviews, and the customer photos.
That's how you separate the gems from the junk.
I hope this help.
Things are to expensive for a country this poor.
So for the people in the comments who were asking me to explain it, here goes.
Normally, there are two waves or times where cytotrophoblasts invade the decidua.
The first happens between weeks 10 and 12 and then the second wave comes between weeks 16 and 18.
Normally, the trophoblastic invasion is meant to remodel the spiral arteries and sort of straighten them out, making them high capacitance, low resistance and low pressure vessels, to improve blood flow to the placenta.
In women who develop preeclampsia, the second wave of this trophoblastic invasion fails and the cytotrophoblasts don't invade deeply enough into the decidua. Because of this, the spiral arteries remain spiral(low capacitance, high resistance and high pressure vessels) and do not straighten out and then the placenta does not get enough blood.(This accounts for the elevated blood pressure).
Because the baby is a "parasite", the placenta begins to release harmful chemicals into the mother's bloodstream in a bid to get more blood to come it's way.
These chemicals cause endothelial damage and the mother's blood vessels become leaky.(This accounts for the protein loss).
Am I the only one who pretends to look away when someone is typing a password so I won't look like a thief?😭
Does malaria truly make your mouth bitter? Watch to find out.
The monthly disappointment when your period shows up is something I wouldn't wish on anyone.
Every cycle starts with hope and ends with silent heartbreak.
Sex stops being sex. It becomes scheduled. Timed. Almost like a prescription. You're checking ovulation kits, counting days, saying little prayers in the middle of intimacy, then lying there afterward, sucking in the semen through your cervix, legs raised, just so it enters, convincing yourself, "Maybe this time." You even find yourself trying everything you've heard might help, hoping nothing goes to waste.
Then comes the pregnancy test. Those few minutes feel like forever. Your hands shake as you dip the strip into the urine. Your heart is pounding. For a moment, you let yourself imagine what life would look like if there were two lines.
.
Then... one line.
You fold yourself together, wipe your tears, and somehow gather the strength to believe again next month.
If you've never walked this road, don't be quick to ask people when they're having children. Fertility is a gift many people don't realize they have until they see someone desperately praying for what others receive without even trying.
"THE DOCTOR WHO NEVER WAS"
One story still haunts me from med school.
KB was the kind of guy who made the rest of us feel average. Razor-sharp mind, brilliant, talented rapper, of course his poetry skills was unique.
The lecturers loved him. We all knew he was going to be that doctor — the one who changes lives, maybe even saves thousands.
Then one day ,during our third year… he just stopped showing up .No texts. No explanations. His seat sat empty lecture after lecture. We asked around. Nothing. It was like he’d vanished.
Weeks later, the truth hit like a gut punch. His parents had shown up unannounced at his apartment and found him lost in the grip of hard drugs. In pure desperation, they physically dragged him out and drove him straight to rehab.
One of the brightest mind in our entire class… almost destroyed by addiction.
Fortunately after rehab he bounced back, now happily married and doing very fine for himself.
No one is immune. Not the smartest. Not the most talented. Not the ones with the brightest futures.
If you’re struggling right now, or you know someone who is , don’t wait for the empty seat. Reach out. Get help. Recovery is possible, but it often takes someone refusing to look away.

200 level blood physiology incourse! I knew it before i went to write it. Understanding the sentence was the main struggle.
I'm of the opinion that exams shouldn't be written outside air conditioned rooms so the ambient temperature is controlled while the brain is combusting.
Saw this and it captures my experience exactly 😂😂😂
“😂THE FIRST TIME I SAW 300 LEVEL MBBS MCQs, I ALMOST CALLED MY PARENTS TO COME AND WITHDRAW ME 😭💔
Nothing prepared me.
Secondary school taught me that MCQ means:
A, B, C or D.
Pick one and go home.
Medical school said,
“You poor innocent child…” 😭😂
The first question I saw was:
A. Statements 1 and 2 are true.
B. Statements 1 and 3 are true.
C. Statements 2 and 4 are true.
D. All statements are true.
E. None of the above.
I looked at the paper.
The paper looked at me.
Both of us were confused. 😭😂
Then another one came:
If statement I is true and statement II is the correct explanation, choose A.
If statement I is true but statement II is not the correct explanation, choose B.
If statement I is true and statement II is false, choose C.
If statement I is false and statement II is true, choose D.
If both are false, choose E.
Omo…
At that point I wasn’t writing an exam anymore.
I was solving a family dispute. 😭💔😂
I read it again.
Still didn’t understand.
I even turned the paper upside down as if the answer would fall out. 😂
Then came TRUE/FALSE questions.
The lecturer would write:
“The liver is the largest internal organ.”
I smiled.
“Easy. True.”
Then I looked again.
It actually said:
“The liver is the second largest internal organ in healthy adults under specific physiological conditions except otherwise stated.”
😭😭😭💔
Excuse me??
Who added all these subtitles??
Medical school doesn’t ask whether you know.
It asks whether you know the exact wording. 😂
You’ll see five options:
✅ True
✅ True but incomplete
✅ False but almost true
✅ True except in rare circumstances
✅ All of the above except none of the below 😭😂
By the third question your brain starts making notification sounds.
“Low battery: 5% remaining.” 🔋😭
Then there is always that one friend.
After the exam you ask,
“Guy, how was it?”
He says,
“It was straightforward now.”
Straightforward??
Brother, were we in the same hall?? 😭😂
Another friend starts discussing answers loudly:
“For number 17 the answer was obviously C because statement II explains statement I through negative feedback involving the hypothalamus…”
Omo please…
Some of us are still trying to remember what course we just wrote. 😭💔😂
The funniest part is changing your answer.
You shade A.
You think.
You erase.
You shade C.
You think again.
You shade E.
Five minutes later you return to A.
At the end, the answer key says…
B. 😭😂💔
And don’t let the lecturer say after the exam,
“The questions were simple. They only tested understanding.”
Understanding??
Sir, the options alone were conducting viva on my destiny. 😭😂
Then results come out.
You score 48%.
You celebrate like you won the lottery because your roommate scored 32%. 😂💔
That was when I realized that 300 level is not just about intelligence.
It’s about surviving psychological warfare.
Because in medical school, sometimes the question is not asking what you know.
It’s asking whether your brain can still function after reading the options. 😭😂🩺”
