I met this 14-year-old boy, Okpako-Onyokoko Ovie Joel, from Graceland International School, Port Harcourt, and I have been so impressed by his exploits.

36 international awards in Mathematics at just 14 years old.

He is a star, and the world will know him.

@ichakike @greasedbygrace @UnkleAyo A young girl was r*@ped and you are saying "there's no case here". Are you normal? If there wasn't he wouldn't be in cuffs, use your six

CAN YALL SHOULD STOP CIRCULATING WRONG INFORMATION CONCERNING KING LOUIS AND FETISHES AND LAYING ON THEIR BACKS!!!?.

CAN PREGNANT WOMEN SQUAT TO HAVE A VAGINAL DELIVERY?

WHEN GRAVITY MEETS GUIDELINES AND WHY CHILDBIRTH IS NOT A ROMANCE NOVEL

Yes, squatting during childbirth is not new. It is old. Very old. Older than hospitals, and older than obstetric beds, and certainly older than ring lights and viral videos. Before medicine had machines, women used gravity. They squatted, and knelt, and sat on wooden stools while medieval midwives watched closely and prayed fervently. So what you saw online is not innovation, it is archaeology dressed as empowerment.

And yet this is where truth must interrupt nostalgia.

According to RCOG guidance, upright positions in labour including squatting can be beneficial, and this is important, when appropriately chosen. Gravity may help the baby descend, and labour may shorten, and some women may avoid assisted delivery. These are not myths. They are physiology.

But medicine does not stop at 'can' Medicine asks, for whom, and when, and at what cost.

RCOG is very clear, and clarity matters here: Women should be encouraged to adopt any position they find comfortable, provided there are no medical or obstetric contraindications.

And that sentence modest, restrained, almost shy is where social media loses interest.

Because squatting, Ify, is not universally safe. Not for every woman. Not for every labour. Not for every baby. And certainly not for every moment.

There are labours where squatting is unwise like when the baby is distressed and seconds matter, and when an epidural has taken balance and control, and when a severe tear is waiting quietly at the perineum, and when the baby is large or poorly positioned, and when shoulder dystocia is anticipated, and when haemorrhage is a possibility that demands control, and when continuous monitoring or urgent intervention may be needed. In these moments, romance is dangerous.

You see, modern obstetrics is not impressed by how ancestral something feels. It is loyal only to context.

What unsettles us as doctors is not squatting itself. It is the way it is sold as more natural, and therefore superior, as always safer, and therefore unquestionable; as better than hospital birth, and therefore virtuous. This is a false holiness.

Medieval women birthed upright, yes and they also died in numbers we would now find obscene. Progress was not abandoning physiology, it was refusing preventable death. We kept what worked, and we discarded what killed women quietly.

So here is the balanced truth, and balance is the hardest thing to sell online:

Squatting can be used. It should be supported. It must be supervised. And it should always be individualised, never prescribed by an algorithm.

The safest birth position is not the most ancient one. It is the one chosen with a skilled birth attendant, in response to this woman, this baby, this labour.

So, do not fear squatting, but do not worship it either. Medicine does not reject old wisdom, it interrogates it, and refines it, and insists that women survive it.

And if you ever find yourself considering an upright position in labour, ask not whether it is natural. Ask whether it is safe, for you, right now, in this moment.

That is where medicine stands. Firmly. Responsibly. And always, always on the side of women staying alive.

@wonboss123 @rectiny_b @UnkleAyo You couldn't have said it any better sis

[Jennifer Joseph @IamJenjoe]

@wonboss123 @rectiny_b @UnkleAyo You are the dumb one to think 50k is a consolation price for r*@ping a woman. There's no excuse or price consolation for r*@pe that is the point.

[Jennifer Joseph @IamJenjoe]

@rectiny_b @wonboss123 @UnkleAyo Because I'm trying to get his point but it is not making any sense. 50k will never have made her feel less used or traumatized.

[Jennifer Joseph @IamJenjoe]

@wonboss123 @rectiny_b @UnkleAyo And the 50k would have made her felt less used? Do you realize the bleeding was due to a broken hymen and it will run its course, it doesn't need meds? Do you realize the event had a psychological impact that no amount of money could have helped?

Our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, graduated from primary school today.

He was the valedictorian.

We have been invited to Singapore for 2027. We will challenge their best students in Maths.

The winners of the 2027 South East Maths Olympiad will challenge the best in Singapore in 2027. 56 other countries will join too.

I like how the world is now taking an interest in our children.

I am benchmarking our education against that of Singapore, Finland, Shanghai, China, Canada, and the US.

This is how we can move from being a third-world country to a first-world country.

The future is looking exciting.

@Badgyal_maris @6packJax @AdaAkokwa1 It's because most men have the financial provider only mindset. When they meet a woman who does that for herself effortlessly, it strips them of their worth, they have nothing else to bring to the table-hence the title "masculine woman".

@6packJax @Badgyal_maris @AdaAkokwa1 Dating mostly occurs within your circle, people you interact with regularly, she will most likely date within her tax bracket. Most nigerian men have low self esteem, if he isn't in her level he won't talk to her. Lastly whatever makes you sleep well, do you.

High cortisol is aging you faster than cigarettes or vapes.

Gray hair, poor sleep, slow recovery, dull drive.

Here are 14 natural ways to bring it down and slow the clock:

@remiorjae You are trying too hard. By now you should have realized you can't rile me up, you are a total stranger but go on.

[Jennifer Joseph @IamJenjoe]

@6packJax @Badgyal_maris @AdaAkokwa1 Your worth is built around your status and money which is ephemera. You don't like a strong independent woman because you can't impress her with status and money, because she has those. She will want a man with character and values which you probably lack. But she's masculine
