@Nuno_zigi@BarhWrister It’s very sad that the Nigerian government has the man power and equipment to harass the youths of this country but don’t have the same man power and equipment to battle banditry and terrorism.
Cape Verde shocks the world as they hold Spain to a goalless draw. Vozinha and the boys already making a name for themselves in the tournament. #ssfootball#fifaworldcup
One of my old time friend wey dey Glasgow come visit me for Canada yesterday, baba just dey drag Backy Dey go , Na once I tell am per gram price, Cana choke am 😂😭
I was 21. NYSC posting: a village clinic in Osun. No light. No water. Just me, a matron in her 60s, and women who walked 3 hours for antenatal.
Day 1, a 16 year old girl came in bleeding and pregnant. Her 40-year old husband said, “It’s normal. First baby always hard.”
Matron took one look at me and said, “Corper, you go learn today.”
We had no ultrasound or blood bank. Just gloves, faith, and a torchlight I held with my mouth while Matron’s hands disappeared inside that child.
For 6 hours we fought. The girl was slipping. Matron prayed in Igala and English. I cried, thinking, “This is why I wanted to japa.” 😂
Then the baby’s cry came; a small, angry boy, alive. The 14-year-old whispered, “Aunty, thank you for not running.” 😭
Covered in blood and sweat, Matron said: “You think this work na for money? This work na for the girls who don’t know their own worth yet. You stay. You fight. You stubborn. Because if we no stubborn, who go be stubborn for them?”
That was 5 years ago.
Today I’m a doctor in Lagos with a clinic in Abule Egba. Every girl who comes in with “normal period pain” that’s been killing her for years reminds me of that torchlight and Matron’s hands. I get stubborn.
I’ve diagnosed 47 cases of advanced PID this year, done 12 fibroid surgeries, and caught 3 girls early before their wombs got damaged.
Ladies, my message is simple:
1. “Normal” pain that stops your school, work, or life? It’s NOT normal.
2. Your body is not “village people.” It’s biology. Test it. Scan it. Know it.
3. Be stubborn about your health. The world will call you dramatic. Be dramatic and alive.
That matron died 2 years ago, but her stubbornness lives in every girl I refuse to let die quietly.
Grateful for another amazing day at Digestive Disease Week 2026 presenting two posters focused on colorectal cancer screening awareness, prevention, and health literacy. So many great conversations, learning moments, and inspiring connections. 🤍

Davido wore a customized jacket carrying the names of the all the kids kidn3pped by the bandits & also has “bring them home” behind the jacket & says a word to all Nigerians before going on stage at the FIFA World Cup🔥
I like women who like me, want to be with me, call me, text me, and take me out. All that nonchalant, broke, wicked, and ‘main character’ aesthetic doesn’t move me.
