Can’t lie to you. If you don’t make a move, you will see literal clowns race past you. Clowns.
Nothing concern life with ‘I am a smart, educated, experienced person’.
You don’t act, you remain there.
Here is the exact endocrinology behind why your hunger magically disappears if you ignore it. 👇
• Most people think hunger is a continuous signal that keeps rising indefinitely until you finally eat. It isn't.
The primary hunger hormone is Ghrelin. It is highly pulsatile and conditioned to your habitual meal times. When your usual lunchtime hits, Ghrelin spikes, stimulating the hypothalamus to trigger an intense urge to eat.
• But if you skip the meal? That Ghrelin wave doesn't keep climbing. It naturally crashes on its own within an hour or two.
Simultaneously, as your blood glucose dips, your body senses a fasting state and unleashes counter-regulatory hormones: Glucagon, Cortisol, and Epinephrine.
• Glucagon immediately goes to work on your liver, triggering glycogenolysis breaking down stored glycogen and dumping free glucose directly into your bloodstream.
• Your brain detects this newly stabilized blood sugar. Combined with the faded Ghrelin pulse, the hypothalamus completely shuts off the intense hunger drive.
• You actually didn't magically stop needing calories. Your body just realized that external food wasn't coming, so it decided to eat your liver's glycogen stores instead.

These “bandits” are not that sophisticated. If the Nigerian government actually wanted to find them, they would find them in a few hours. The government is complicit in this. it’s not rocket science.

A mother holds her son for the last time.
1. Breast milk is over 80% water.
2. The first part of the breastmilk is majorly water
3. Babies need all the nutrients they get from the remaining percentage of the breastmilk that is supposed to help them
4. If you give water, baby has no space for breastmilk
5. Baby doesn't get as much nutrients
6. Baby doesn't grow as well.
7. Baby's brain need the breastmilk
8. The amount of water in breastmilk is ALL the water your baby will ever need for the first 6 months
9. That baby deserves better nutrition.
But please do you.
Nestlé has recalled these baby products.
So before you mix that next bottle for your baby, read this thread carefully as it concerns their well being.
If you feed your baby NAN, SMA, or Alfamino, a toxic bacteria has been found in some batches. And you might have it in your house right now.
You see, Nestlé has issued a massive global recall for several baby formulas (products in the image above) because they found a toxin called Cereulide (from Bacillus cereus bacteria) in some batches.
This toxin causes severe nausea and vomiting in babies. And the scary part is that boiling water does NOT kill it. The toxin is heat-resistant. So even if you prepare the formula correctly, if the powder itself is contaminated, your baby is at risk.
Now, NAFDAC has not released a specific alert for Nigeria yet. BUT our markets are porous. And people import ‘UK SMA’ and ‘Imported NAN’ every single day. So if you buy your formula from supermarkets that stock imported goods, or you bought it abroad, you need to check the last stock to see if your tin look like any of those products.
If yes, go to Nestle’s UK Website (SMA & Alfamino) and Nestle’s MENA Website (NAN) to verify if your batch does not fall under the recalled ones.
If your batch code matches the ones on that list, please DO NOT USE IT.
And please, don't keep this information to yourself.
If you have a friend, sister, or neighbor who uses SMA, NAN, or Alfamino, retweet this or send this to them NOW.
You might be saving a baby from poisoning today.
I just want to share my story so you can understand why I’m shouting for at least a system that is making effort to be better for Nigeria.
They say “to live in Nigeria is better.” But I want to share my own story.
Because it is only a wicked person that will be enjoying a working system and not wish the same for his people.
I won’t be enjoying a functioning system abroad and then lie to you that the one you are living in Nigeria is better. 🧵
Saw this tweet and I just had to say something.
One of the biggest reasons why a child will keep asking for something even after you’ve said no and explained why, is simple.
They’re used to getting their way.
Whether it’s cheese balls, screen time, or snacks, many kids have learned that if they ask long enough or cry long enough, they will eventually get what they want. That’s not always because the parent is weak. It’s often because the parent just wants peace. Or they’re tired. Or they feel guilty.
But here’s the problem. Children are incredibly observant. They study patterns. If your “no” has ever turned into a “fine, take it,” their brain records that data and uses it next time. Not to manipulate you, but because that’s what’s worked in the past.
This is why your child can say “okay” and still go right back to asking. They believe persistence equals results.
Now let me be clear. This doesn’t mean you’re doing everything wrong. But it’s a sign that some things need to be adjusted. And the earlier you fix it, the better.
Here are a few things you can start doing that help:
First, tie what they want to a task or reward. For example, instead of just saying no to cheese balls, say something like “After you help me clean up your toys, then you can have two more.” That way they understand that rewards are earned, not demanded.
Second, use time-based promises. Tell them they can have it tomorrow after lunch or in the evening after homework. The key is to follow through. This builds trust, patience, and emotional regulation.
Third, offer alternatives when you say no. If they can’t have cheese balls, suggest another healthy option or something else that feels like a choice. This helps them feel seen, and not shut down.
Fourth, stay calm. Children don’t respond well to frustration or yelling. The more you stay composed and firm, the more they’ll begin to understand that begging won’t work.
And finally, praise the moments when they accept a no without pushing. Say something like “Thank you for listening the first time. That made me really proud.” That way, you’re not just correcting bad behavior. You’re reinforcing the good.
Hope this helps
