Dear Nigerian youths, we need to talk about serious issues like how to get competent young people into office.
I believe we have our work cut out for us as a generation. It is simple really. We are the nation builders.

This classic made from roasted corn flour and palm oil is DELICIOUS.

Another snack added to my snack list.

At 23, with no prior experience, I turned this dilapidated building into Nigeria’s first offgrid hospital.
Here’s how (5 principles) 🧵:

[AFTER HOW MANY CHILDREN @tomisin_ms]

Trigger Warning!!!!!

At Kinkole General Reference Hospital in Kinshasa, DRC, a doctor was seen in a video physically assaulting a woman immediately after childbirth while she was bleeding and in urgent need of care.

A quick scan through their TL said she had tears from delivery and needed suturing to stop a haemorrhage, but instead of proper care and pain management, she was met with violence.

This is beyond one incident, Sometimes, women’s pain in medicine is overlooked or we are made to believe we are overreacting.

This reminds me of when a nurse told me it was “normal” to be in pain because I had a CS, and even went on to say that’s why vaginal birth is better. Helllo! I’m only asking for pain killers!

Let me tell you about the picture in Frame 1.

In August 2017, as a litigation lawyer in Lagos, I had work to do that required me to be at the office during the weekend.

There was only one problem that weekend.

I had a 16 months old son, no nanny and no one to leave him with at home so I asked my boss if I could bring him with me and she was gracious enough to agree. While I was working, my son fell asleep and I had to lay him down on the floor beside my table.

In that moment, I took a picture of him sleeping and made a promise to myself that if I ever had my own firm, at some point in that journey, no woman working with me who had a caregiver emergency and needs to be at work will have to lay her baby on the floor.

That same day, I thought of my struggles as a breastfeeding mother in the workplace and promised again that no woman working with me who had a baby will ever have to struggle for a private space to use her breast pump at work, relieve her aching breast to focus and save some quality milk for her baby.

Frame 2
Today, we finished the renovation of our office building complete with a nursing room.

Litigation is tough for women.

The firm should not make it tougher.

Strichland LP has a nursing room and today, by the grace of God, I kept that promise.

❤️

@iam_preethi Important for moms to know that baby is barely drinking anything in the first few days, and it takes about 3 days for mom’s milk to come in. I had suction cups to suck colostrum and then poured in baby’s mouth. Worked perfectly!

I’m not excited by things like anymore, this is not a ‘gotcha’ moment. These guys are smart. They know the side they’re on and they comfort themselves with personal interest over their conscience and to them it’s a fair trade.
They have accepted it and this is just a little price to pay.

We need to demand for what we deserve. Till we decide to march together, nothing will change.

This interview regardless of how disgraceful it is will not add a dent to the APC ship I’m sorry.

Nigerian doctors dey cook when it comes to fibroid management. Imagine removing an 11 Kg fibroid and preserving fertility.

Bring this research funding to Nigeria and watch us cook even more. We have a large number of cases, we have the experience, and we have the brains.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

Nora Keegan was not trying to change public health policy. She was just paying attention.

In elementary school in Calgary, she noticed something adults kept dismissing. Children rushing out of public restrooms. Hands clamped over their ears. Faces tense. Complaints whispered between friends. It hurts my ears.

She felt it too. After using hand dryers, her ears rang. The sound lingered. Adults brushed it off. They are just loud. That is what machines do.

But Nora kept wondering why children reacted so strongly. And more importantly, why no one was measuring it.

In fifth grade, she decided to find out.

With the help of her parents, both physicians, she turned curiosity into research. She borrowed professional sound equipment. She designed an experiment. And then she went where the problem lived.

Public bathrooms.

Over two years, she visited forty four restrooms across Alberta. Libraries. Restaurants. Schools. She took eight hundred and eighty measurements. She measured at adult height. Then she crouched to measure at child height. She tested distance. Position. Airflow. Again and again.

What she found was impossible to ignore.

Many high speed hand dryers exceeded one hundred decibels at a child’s ear level. Some reached levels comparable to emergency sirens. Levels that medical authorities already prohibit in children’s toys because of the risk of hearing damage.

Children were not imagining the pain. They were standing closer to the source. Their ears were smaller. And the sound hitting them was stronger than what adults experienced.

Manufacturers claimed their machines were safe. Nora’s data showed real world conditions told a different story.

And she did not stop there.

Still in middle school, she began designing a noise reduction filter. A simple modification that lowered sound output by more than ten decibels. Proof that the problem was not inevitable.

Then she did something most adults never do. She wrote a scientific paper.

Her first submission was rejected. So she revised. She corrected. She tried again.

In June 2019, Paediatrics and Child Health published her study. Its title was direct and impossible to dismiss. Children who say hand dryers hurt my ears are correct.

She was thirteen years old.

Health professionals paid attention. Researchers cited her work. Parents shared it. Manufacturers requested meetings. All because a child trusted her own experience enough to test it.

Nora did not raise her voice. She measured. She documented. She proved.

And in doing so, she reminded the world of something simple and easily forgotten.

Sometimes the smallest voices are describing the biggest problems. You just have to listen.

"I went to the store, bought a $10 plastic step stool, hid it furtively under my coat as I walked into church the next Sunday, and abandoned it by the bathroom sink. A year later, it’s still there, and I see kids using it all the time."

In case you are not clear, this is abuse. It is not a joke, it is not bants, it is not banger boy behaviour (whatever that means). This is defamation & there are consequences (including jail time) according to our laws.

More people need to take action on this type of behaviour.

[gst @wearegst]

Nigeria allowed Emmanuel Nwangwu to walk free after years of abuse. He returned to finally murder Loveth Uloma Nwangwu.

Perhaps the extremely conservative nature of the legal profession makes people assume we are poor church rats.

One lawyer is somewhere right now, thinking of bringing down his fees under the guise of improving access to justice.

In deserving cases, fine but in majority of cases, I hope you see this quoted tweet and stand on business….
