When Her Life Hangs Between Heartbeats: The Quiet Decisions We Make for Women

Dear Oku,

You ask an intelligent question. And for that, I say: bless you. Men who ask instead of assume are the ones who make room for truth to sit at the table. Man wey sabi👏👏

Now, let me tell you a quiet truth, one that hides in hospital corridors and in the minds of women who have learned to live with fear folded into their wombs: when the risk of continuing a pregnancy outweighs the beauty of birth, when her breath is on the edge and her pulse tells a different story, then yes...termination becomes not just a right, but a rescue.

And if she is in the UK, there is a clause under which she'll belong. There is always a clause. A guideline that understands that sometimes, to save a life, we must pause another.

But it is never a one size...fits all. It depends on whether other causes have been thoroughly ruled out, on whether what threatens her can be treated, on whether the baby has reached the age that governments call “viable.” That number floats...22 weeks here, 24 weeks there, sometimes 28...because even science argues with itself.

And when that line is crossed, when the baby is old enough to breathe without her body, then an urgent delivery is done. Through the fastest door...be it vaginal or caesarean...because time, in those moments, is a ruthless thing.

And yes, the termination must be safe. Medically if possible, surgically if necessary. Sometimes "abortion" may involve shooting in a toxic substance to stoo the heart beat.
We must not save a life by breaking it in another place. Quacks must never treat!

Any hospital that cannot manage her must say so...must refer, must release, must not play God with borrowed time.

Because delay is death. And death wears many masks: DIC, shock, bleeding that does not listen to compression or prayer. So we must act, and act fast.

Above all else, remember this: it is always the safety of the mother first. Because you cannot cradle a baby in a coffin. Because dead women do not raise children.

So ask. Keep asking. And let your questions carry weight, like the women we fight for.

So, something is has been happening at @gtbank for a while now and people have not been able to talk about it, surprisingly, despite experiencing it.

There seems to be an ongoing fraud there, ripping people off their monies.

1. Your account could read ZERO balance and from nowhere, you see a MINUS N400k balance in your account as if you took a loan and the loan was due. You don't have access any money paid to you.

2. Any money that hits your account gets deducted because of the "debt" that was placed on your account magically.

3. If that is your salary account, when your salary gets paid and it hits your account, it disappears or the amount you "owe" is deducted and you are given your change.

4. You complain at customer care. They run diagnostics and find that on your last salary payment before the present one "you were paid twice" but you didn't see any alert and your account always read zero until the sudden magic. So if you do not check your account regularly, you won't know when they hit you with a minus.

5. They tell you to sort it out with your employers that a LIEN was placed on your account. You contact your employers and it is not from them as they paid ONCE. But your bank said you were paid twice.

6. You check your bank statement and it shows that you were paid by your bank (same salary amount) but it never hit your account but is it reading negative. So you "owe" them.

7. You get tossed up and down tillyou get tired. Your money GONE. Untraceable.

1 to 7 above is my story today and that of many other people i know hut who don't have a voice to call them out. Please call out this bank. Don't ignore this tweet. Don't scroll past.

It is us today, if you use GTB, it will sure get to you. Changing salary account could be done but as at now, we need to be saved from this mess. This is scam and this is unfair.

If you have a GTB account, it is advised that you take all your money out and close your account with them. A lot is happening there as at now.

Please RT, tag them and comment. Don't ignore. Please.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

I debated long and hard whether to do this publicly, but I think a message needs to be sent to a group of external interests working in tandem with the internal interests described in the quoted tweet to counteract the interests of half a billion West Africans. A message that at whatever level we exist, we take our destiny seriously and we are not to be trifled with.

Last week, I received an N800,000 offer from an international NGO called Dialogue Earth (formerly known as China Dialogue Trust) to write an article essentially saying that Dangote Refinery is terrible for the environment because something something "Environmental Concerns," something something "Climate Change," something something "Energy Transition Policy," something something "COP 28."

The (unstated but clearly implied) thrust of the brief was for a prominent local voice to put their name on an article that is an argument or a premise for the the Nigerian government to kill the refinery based on its "energy transition commitments" and "environmental policy." This conclusion wasn't immediately apparent when they reached out to me, but I suspected where it was heading, and I quickly accepted the offer so that I could see the brief and obtain hard evidence. I've attached screenshots from the brief below.

Basically, this London-based NGO is headed by Sam Geall, an Oxford professor and is funded by several American intelligence fronts such as Ford Foundation and ClimateWorks (which is blacklisted in India for funding organisations working against India's national interest). For whatever reason, it is now quietly mobilising a resistance campaign against what it describes as "Nigeria's first refinery." Apparently, the status quo of Africa's largest oil producer having no functioning oil refinery to beneficiate its own oil was not a problem for Dialogue Earth and the American CIA fronts who fund it.

The human poverty caused by exporting this raw material and importing refined fuel was not bad for the environment. Also, the fact of European refiners regularly blending West African fuel cargoes with toxic waste and sulphur content 200 times the European legal limit (leading to asthma, bronchitis and eye infections in West Africa) was also not bad for the environment. But Nigeria having a refinery that will wean West Africa off import dependency on those European refiners (and allow West Africa control the sulphur content of its own fuels) is where Dialogue Earth and its funders draw the line. That one is bad for the environment, and David Hundeyin should write an article calling for the refinery to be shut down or limited.

I'm putting this out there publicly so that nobody will henceforth use the term "conspiracy theory" when it is pointed out for the umpteenth time, that there are American and European state and private interests that are heavily invested in keeping Africa exactly as poor as it is, and that they regularly push levers most of us do not even know exist, to make sure that this status quo is protected. These people believe that Africans should not exist or have nice things in this world. Apparently, the sole purpose of our existence is to enhance their experience of the planet and all that it has to offer.

It is because of them that I have to make a public spectacle out of this, even though I know that doing this is probably going to cost someone their job. The message needs to be passed that as poor as we are, you cannot convince us to campaign for the elongation of our own poverty by commissioning $500 hack jobs in the hope that we will be greedy enough to only see the money and ignore the bigger picture of what we can clearly see you trying to do.

I will reiterate something I have said multiple times - I am not a believer in the religious faith called Climate Change/Saving The Environment. I care exactly as much about the environment as do the rich white men who destroyed it to begin with. I firmly believe that if what it takes for Africa to industrialise is for it to burn so much fossil fuel that snow stops falling in Wisconsin and it starts raining concentrated sulphuric acid in Doncaster, it is not too big a price for Europe and North America to pay - it is certainly not bigger than the price Africa had to pay for Europe and North America to develop.

It is and will continue to be 100% OUR prerogative to determine what to do with our hydrocarbons. It is not the rich white men hiding behind these "Climate Advocacy NGOs" who will tell us what to do with our energy reserves, and by what means we are allowed to escape the poverty that they engineered for us.

I might not be a fan of Aliko Dangote or his monopolistic business practices - as is well known - but I'm also smart enough to know when rich white men in DC, Houston, Rotterdam and London and trying to use me as a marionette in their 400 year-old coloniser games. If you are reading this and you are one of the rich white men whose economic interests are threatened by Nigeria refining its own oil, you should come out and fight Aliko Dangote by yourself.

Or at least go find a much stupider African to do your dirty job - there's plenty of those.

It will never be me.

Do babies develop accents even before they can speak conventionally?

The short answer is yes… and these linguistic markers begin even sooner than you might think.

So many of you tagged me in this video yesterday featuring an infant that babbles with the same Scouse accent as his mother.

Other than “no” he doesn’t speak a single conventional word, but listen to how the rhythm and intonation of his vocalizations mirror those to which he is exposed daily.

As hearing becomes functional during the third trimester, infants are exposed to the distinct patterns of their mothers’ native language - with studies suggesting newborns can already distinguish (and prefer) what will become their native tongue only hours after birth.

Incredibly this learning doesn’t wait until the babbling stage to evidence itself.

Research suggests that even the cries of newborns reflect this preference.

That’s right: babies cry with an accent.

One major study on the topic showed that French babies cry with a rising intonation, while German infants favor a falling melody - both reflecting the patterns of their native languages.

We’re only just beginning to understand the deep learning that begins in utero. It’s just more evidence that the period from prenatal to three is the most critical window in all of human development.

“MOLA”
(The Stubborn Football Journey Man)

The name on everyone's lips since yesterday night is “Ademola Lookman” and to many the journey to stardom started in southeast London, Peckham but that's not true.

This is another Naija “Japa Story” when Ademola Lookman's parents who were both Nigerians decided to leave the shores of Nigeria for greener pastures, and at this time, Lookman had two older sisters who were born in Nigeria as he was the only one born in Peckham, London.

Everyone has a story, let's tell Ademola Lookman’s Story.
