The whole process of pregnancy affects a woman's hormones drastically.
These hormone changes can change things like skin tautness, skin colour, weight, and bloating, even her immune system is not left out.
These hormones might be released during pregnancy many times, but they leave lasting marks on her body long after the pregnancy is done.
When you listen to many women talk about their experiences during pregnancy and how it affects their esteem and even image of themselves, you won't just rush to this silly conclusion.
Different women have different experiences during pregnancy and these changes occur in some to varying effects.
You guys can do better to be honest, if you had used the energy you used to jump to this conclusion to make simple research, you probably would have been better equipped to help the women in your life.
I'm truly regretful to recount my experiences in the Nigerian legal system, which ultimately led to my departure from my legal practice in Nigeria. I had always been driven by a deep sense of duty to help those less fortunate in our society, which is why I engaged in pro-bono work under the Lagos Public Interest Law Partnership (LPILP). My particular encounter with the Nigerian criminal justice system left me disillusioned and disheartened.
In this specific case, my client had been languishing in incarceration for an excruciating 11 years while awaiting trial in the magistrate court at Ebute Meta. The reason for his unjust imprisonment was nothing short of baffling. He had allegedly sold an unfinished building to a wealthy complainant, who had failed to fulfill the payment terms as agreed upon. My client had diligently pursued the balance owed to him, but the complainant kept procrastinating.
In frustration, my client decided to sell the property to another individual. He then reached out to the complainant, seeking his account details to initiate a refund. However, the complainant insisted on taking possession of the property, which my client could not provide at the time. Subsequently, my client was arrested and thrown into the confines of Ikoyi prison.
During the trial, it became glaringly evident that the prosecution's case was riddled with substantial flaws. Under cross-examination, the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) failed to elucidate the details of his investigation and how they related to the charges brought against my client. To add to this, the complainant admitted to the contractual agreement, which clearly stipulated that title transfer would only occur upon full payment, something he had not fulfilled. The matter, as it stood, was undeniably a civil one, centering on the complainant's contractual obligations that he had failed to meet.
I promptly filed a no-case submission, contending that there was no criminal offense before the court. However, to my astonishment, the court rejected my submission and insisted that we enter a defense. I complied, but my defense for my client merely rested on the prosecution's shaky case. In my final address, I reiterated what our no-case submission had established: that this was a civil matter, not a criminal one. Yet, the court persisted in its stance and convicted my client.
I was left utterly shocked by this outcome. Although the court considered the lengthy period of my client's unjust incarceration, it still handed down a conviction. It was perplexing to witness my client, the one who should have sought justice for his wrongful imprisonment, being punished further.
At that juncture, I realized that practicing law in Nigeria had become an insurmountable challenge. This case was just one of many that had revealed the deep-rooted problems in the Nigerian judicial system. It became painfully evident that justice was not always served, and I felt compelled to seek an escape from this disheartening reality.
I recount this experience with a heavy heart, hoping that someday, positive change will transform the Nigerian legal system into a fair and just one.
Below is another matter that practically changed my mind about Nigerian criminal justice system.

Dear Peter Obi, @PeterObi
I am compelled to write this for posterity. To capture my exact feelings in this moment.
You don’t know me and probably will never see this but if you ever feel like you are responsible for dashing the hopes of well meaning poor Nigerians who believed in your dream, the silence you hear is not disappointment in you but a realization of the amount of corruption you were standing up against by even daring to run. It is clear now why the political elites were shocked by your audacity and said you wouldn’t win a single local government. You went from two people tweeting in a room, to SIX MILLION votes. You galvanized the weak and the hungry and those who had given up on the Nigerian project.
As a dark cloud, heralded by the creeping out of nefarious characters like Asari and Oluomo, covers Nigeria and blocks out whatever sunlight was left, the same Nigerian system we grew up to despise has reminded us all why. Sometimes just adjusting and surviving makes you forget the amount of dirt you are sitting in. You brought the broom but those who use us as a dumpster for their personal gain have shown the strength of elitist collusion. They think they have secured the status quo for their entitled foreign based children.
I need you to however remember that the true measure of leadership is not in a title held, but in the sparks ignited just by your words, deeds and strength of character. That’s why Jesus, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King didn’t need titles or offices to evoke lasting change from the rotten status quo. They made people see what’s possible and determine to change it. Every child South of the Niger (and indeed the world) has heard you Peter, they have felt the inner stirring. Through your tenacity, you have exposed tribalism, nepotism and the orchestrated plan to deprive some from fulfilling their God given potential by reason of their heritage. You have forced the oppressors to show their true colours and validate what we thought was mere speculation: that we are indeed under barely concealed bondage, and must work daily through generations to break free. By that token, you have succeeded.
The spark you have ignited by seeing this through to it’s logical conclusion, will only grow until fulfilment. Like the actions of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King led directly to Barack Obama and Kamala Harris generations later, whether you eventually ascend to the rightful office of leadership or not, a child watching today has decided he will not stay where he has been put by the ruling tribes and will finish what you have started.
May you live to see the day.
Let's forget about the chicken, what is that knife made of? 🤯😳

France & the U.S. have been extracting resources from Gabon for decades. 32% of the population lives in poverty while the deposed president & his father who ruled before him have property worth 10’s of millions.
Africa is DONE w/ neocolonialism 🔥
