Every woman deserves to be heard, supported, and empowered to make informed choices about her health and future without fear, stigma, or discrimination. Together, we can build healthier communities and a world where women’s well-being remains a priority every day.
As I have always said, If you have a problem with menstrual blood, then just date a man. Women menstruate it is not news. And sometimes, mistakes will happen.
If you think this little blood messes up your car, then wait till she has to push a baby out in the car while you are stuck in jam rushing to the hospital, you will see real blood.
And if she had a heavy meal before labor begins, Number 2 will actually come out before the baby. So this is nothing lads.
As long as you are straight and love women, then terms and conditions apply.😉 abakyala bazira.
🗣️ José Mourinho: "I was ten years old when my father was fired on Christmas Day.
He was a soccer coach, and his team’s results weren’t good. They had lost a match one or two days before Christmas.
On Christmas Day, while we were sitting at the table for lunch, the phone rang.
A brief call from a club executive: you’re fired.
The news hit like a blow. No one finished eating, we left the table, and sadness filled the house.
Even the Christmas presents went unopened that day.
From that moment, I made my decision: I would be a coach.
I would fight until the day my father’s name was known all over the world.
To this day, I wear clothes similar to his, and I have them specially made so they resemble his style.
My father is my only role model in this world."
150 years from now, none of us reading this post today will be alive. 70 percent to 100 percent of everything we are fighting over right now will be totally forgotten. Underline the word, TOTALLY.
If we go back memory lane to 150 years before us, that will be 1876, none of those that carried the world on their heads then are alive today. Almost all of us reading this will find it difficult to picture anybody's face of that era.
Pause for a while and imagine how some of them betrayed their relatives and sold them as slaves for a piece of mirror. Some k*lled family members just for a piece of land or tubers of yam or for a pinch of salt. Where is the yam, mirror, or salt that they were using to brag?
It may sound funny to us now, but that is how s*lly we humans are sometimes, especially when it comes to money, power or trying to be relevant.
I remember those days in my secondary school, how some people fought and did so many unimaginable things just to have their names shortlisted among those to be made school Prefects. Ordinary school Prefects o! But today nobody in that school right now remembers that I even schooled there despite my popularity then. Now, imagine what happens after 150 years!
Even when you claim the internet age will preserve your memory, take Michael Jackson as an example. Michael Jackson died in 2009, just 13 years ago. Imagine the influence Michael Jackson had all over the world when he was alive. How many young people of today remember him with awe, that is if they even know him? In 150 years to come, his name, when mentioned, will not ring any bell to a lot of people.
Let us take life easy, nobody will get out of this world alive. . . The land you are fighting and ready to kill for, somebody left that land, the person is dead, rotten, and forgotten. That will also be your fate. In 150 years to come, none of the vehicles or phones we are using today to brag will be relevant. Biko, take life easy!
Let love lead. Let’s be genuinely happy for each other. No malice, no backbiting. No jealousy. No comparison. Life is not a competition. At the end of the day, we will all transit to the other side. It is just a question of who gets there first, but surely we will all go there someday.
