Day 27
Failed country, failed government!

[Adedayo Agarau @adedayoagarau]

Nigerian history deserves more than scattered Wikipedia pages. For @1000reasons9ja, I created 1800+ dated moments of Nigerian history. You can now trace Nigeria from the 1300s to 2026.

I also added 200 more reasons against T-Pain’s administration.

I never imagined I would be making this kind of plea.

My wife, Dasola, went in for a Caesarean Section to deliver our baby, but what should have been the happiest moment of our lives suddenly became a fight for survival.

She developed severe sepsis after surgery, leading to

It’s so crazy that this is our reality in this country

[Risi Arab Money @OyinLadun0]

See how lean this woman has gotten 😭😭😭😭

How can we be begging the government not to “use force” but rather negotiate with them in a peaceful way ?😭😭😭

They already marked the next person to k-ill if the government try to rescue them? 😭😭😭😭

What sort of country is this fgs?

Women are berating another woman for showing her birth process. You’re encouraging and aiding silence culture around reproductive health and reproduction and your purity-culture ridden brain cannot see how that is an issue.

[Midnight 🖤 @ladymidnightxxx]

For years, I was told my pain was “normal.”

Since my very first period, I would pass out, throw up, and be completely bedridden for 7 days every month. I couldn’t function. I needed medical notes for school and work because the pain was so severe I physically could not leave my bed.

I saw countless OBs over the years. Some told me I was exaggerating. Some brushed it off as “part of being a woman.” Others pushed birth control as a bandaid solution, but nobody wanted to find out why I was suffering so badly.

By 16, the pain had spread beyond my periods. It became constant. Excruciating. Eventually, I gave in and started continuously taking birth control to skip my periods just to survive. What nobody warned me about was that years later, that same medication would leave me with liver tumours requiring ongoing monitoring.

By 25, I was desperate. I was doctor-hopping, begging someone — anyone — to listen to me. One “endometriosis specialist” handed me more medications, suggested cannabis, and sent me on my way.

Finally, at 27, another specialist agreed to perform a diagnostic laparoscopy.

What they found was severe Stage 3 endometriosis, adhesions, and what was described as essentially “a mess” inside my body.

After excision surgery, I got 6 beautiful years of relief. Six years where I finally understood what it felt like to live without constant pain.

Then the pain came back.

During my next surgery, they found more endometriosis along with severe pelvic congestion syndrome — varicose veins covering my uterus and contributing to relentless pain. My doctor and I agreed that once I was done having children, a hysterectomy would likely give me the best quality of life possible. In 2025, I had the surgery.

And for the first time in most of my life, I have been pain free.

Endometriosis has no guaranteed cure. I may still have it lurking silently inside me. But I no longer live every month dreading agony that made life feel unbearable.

What stays with me the most is this:

It took THIRTEEN YEARS for someone to truly listen to me.

Thirteen years of being gaslit.
Thirteen years of suffering.
Thirteen years where this disease continued progressing inside my body while I was told I was dramatic, sensitive, anxious, or simply “a woman.”

If even one young girl reads this and realizes her pain is not normal… if one doctor listens sooner… if one woman feels less alone because people are finally talking about endometriosis openly…

Then sharing this story is worth it.

I don’t care who raises awareness for endometriosis.

I just care that women stop suffering in silence for years while begging to be believed.

[mahlen @mahlenr]

Endo is a massively undeserved cause area given how much of the human population it seems to effect. The suffering that results from it seems to be frankly ridiculous and you barely even hear about it.

I didn’t know or think much about it until my sister told me she was diagnosed a few years ago.

The body will literally grow uterine-like tissue outside the uterus and it will respond to hormonal cycles in the same way normal uterine tissue does - thickens, breaks down and bleeds each month.

But there’s obv no mechanism for it to leave the body???

So the immune system mounts an inflammatory response that causes massive inflammation, scar tissue formation and over time adhesions that can fuse organs around that area together!?

And this tissue can become fibrotic over time developing a more complex structure with greater blood supply and enervation of new nerve endings on the tissue!?

And the endo tissue can also invade organ walls and become deeply embedded in structures like the bowels and bladder causing pain with every contraction of those organs.

And this obviously results in severe debilitating pain for the women afflicted that is usually dismissed or discounted as “period pain”.

All of this to say that if Bryan can apply his same autistic longevity optimisation mindset and resources to endo and make some actual progress on figuring out what it is and why it happens and how to heal it, that would be a massive boon for our species.

Wishing them all the best here.

Mind you, growing up we used to have pad companies going to schools to teach period education and give out pads. The children of this generation don’t have that. You have the means to make a book on period education as a classed woman and you decided to sell it? SHAME SHAME SHAME

[Oiza @Steadi_lady]

Babes are on this app everyday begging for money to buy bulk sanitary pads for young girls, a rich celebrity choosing to capitalize on it doesn’t bother you at all??
We are not talking about clothing, shoes etc, we are talking about pads pads pads, it’s not weird to you?
Odiegwu!

[Lilith's poison 😈🏳️‍🌈 @lilith_hero]

We have become so out of touch of our reality. A lot of women and girls can’t afford to buy pads. There are a lot of NGOs giving out free pads and still, it is not enough.
What are we turning to in this Nigeria?????
The poverty capital in the world?? You are doing luxury pads?

The girls were right about doing yoga daily.

You feel so good.

Interestingly, different people gave me the lace and the plain material. I was happy when I saw that the colour of both matched.😂 I got to work immediately I had a reason to make a new top.

I really really hate that I was born in this country , it’s so backward that sometimes i really want to cry

[Dr. Majeedat Abdul_writes 🩺 @MajeedatAbdul]

doesn’t give room for consideration.

It’s all so rigid, no flexibility, compassion, nothing.

Too many things are just not right in this place.
