@Morris_Monye After my dad died, I would always say ‘my papa don die, so anybody else wey die no really concern me.’
I always thought that he was immortal
If the two disciples of Emmaus recognize Jesus when He breaks the bread for them, we too should recognize Him in this way. Not just in the Eucharist, but wherever there is a life that becomes broken bread, wherever someone makes a compassionate gift of themselves, like He did. With the grace of the Risen Christ, we can become this broken bread that transforms reality. #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 24:13–35) #ApostolicJourney #Angola
What happened in our theatre today...my hands are still shaking as I type this.
She came into the hospital walking.
Fully conscious.
Talking.
Holding her belly.
A 36-week pregnant woman.
Her complaint sounded simple at first:
“Please nurse… I have severe headache, my body is weak, and my baby has not been moving well since morning.”
Her face looked tired.
Her eyes looked heavy.
We checked her blood pressure.
Very high. Dangérously high.
Protein in her urine.
Swollen feet.
Warning signs everywhere.
Severe pre-eclampsia.
Before we could even finish explaining, she suddenly grabbed the bed rail and said,
“I feel dizzy…”
And then it happened.
Her eyes rolled back.
All white.
She stopped responding.
We called her name loudly.
No answer.
We shook her gently.
Pinched her.
Still nothing.
Within seconds, the room changed.
Oxygen was applied.
IV lines rushed in.
The monitor alarms started screaming.
The baby was still inside her.
And now… the mother was slipping away.
She was rushed straight to theatre for an emergency caesarean section.
Inside the operating room, fear sat with us.
Her eyes were still rolled back.
She wasn’t responding to voice, pain, or touch.
The anaesthetist kept calling her name.
Nothing.
Then suddenly, her vitals dipped.
The surgeon said quietly but firmly:
“We cannot wait.”
The incision was made.
The baby was delivered fast.
A baby boy.
No cry.
The paediatrician moved immediately.
Suction.
Oxygen.
Stimulation.
Seconds felt like years.
Then…
A weak cry.
Then another.
Life.
Relief swept through the room but it didn’t last.
Because the mother still hadn’t woken up.
Minutes passed.
Her eyes were still white.
Her body still.
Someone whispered,
“What if she doesn’t come back?”
We kept calling her name.
Nothing.
Then, suddenly her fingers twitched.
Just once.
Everyone froze.
We called her name again.
This time…
Her eyelids fluttered.
Slowly… painfully…
She opened her eyes.
Confused.
Disoriented.
The first thing she whispered was:
“My baby… where is my baby?”
We brought the baby closer.
The cry filled the theatre.
Tears rolled down her face.
And down ours too.
Because moments earlier…
We thought we were losing her.
Today, the theatre became a place of féar, silence, prayer and mercy.
Two lives stood at the edge.
Both came back.
And we were reminded again:
Sometimes emergencies come quietly.
Sometimes côllapse comes suddenly.
And sometimes… miracles happen after everyone has already lost hope.
To every mother reading this:
Your testimony will not d!e.
You will not loose your life during labour
Your baby will survive
Your blessings will not be thrown away.
Whatever looks lost, God will return with life.
A baby born from confusion…
A mother Saved by mercy…
Protected by heaven.
This was not medicine.
This was a miracle that refused to stay silent.
Share this to bless another mother.

If I ever get buried and the bugs are eating me, I expect that when they reach my stomach, they will meet resistance.
The butterflies I grew when we first spoke will still defend their home. I imagine the worms baffled, outnumbered by wings made of memory.
I think it is just due that I spin a 🧵for ambitious/career/beautiful women currently making their bread.
Take this from a brother.
There's a strain of men who deploy a particularly psychological tool, you should discern against.
They won't like this tweet but I'll explain.
Solomon please I beg you,
Don’t do this to your child.
I’m writing this publicly as an appeal to you and other young parents out there. Pls read this to the end and kindly indulge me.
First of all, let us make something clear:
There is NO verifiable medical link between childhood vaccines and autism. Absolutely NONE. What you are quoting are largely incomplete stories and rumours that have no scientific evidence.
So, let’s do a little deep dive:
Where did the idea that vaccines cause autism start from? Much of this came from 1 particular study published in 1998 that suggested MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine might cause autism.
Since 1998 till now, many multiple scientific studies have shown there is ZERO link between vaccines (or any of their ingredients) and autism. Vaccines do NOT cause autism in anybody. This is the actual medical fact.
Also, it may interest you to know that the research used in that 1998 study was found to be false and misleading. The doctor who led the misleading research lost his medical license, and the medical journal (Lancet) that published it retracted and removed the research paper stating that they believe it never should have been published in the first place. Lancet is one of the world’s oldest and most respected medical journals in the whole world.
When you are less busy, google the name “Andrew Jeremy Wakefield”- he is a well known, disgraced British fraudster who was kicked off the medical profession for his misleading false research linking autism to vaccines.
Vaccine-preventable diseases are very serious and if a child is not vaccinated, that child can develop the disease and could die. If a child develops measles or rubella, and that child is unvaccinated, the child can die.
Before global vaccination programs, measles was killing about 2.6million kids every year https://t.co/TnQTogCPNk
But with vaccines, barely 100,000 kids die every year- mostly in poor countries.
To put this in perspective,
1 in 5,000 kids can die from measles in uk while in poor countries 1 in 100 kids die from measles, this is the massive difference that vaccination makes for a child.
Two doses of MMR vaccine are 97% effective at preventing measles, 1 dose is 93% effective. It is uncommon for someone fully vaccinated to develop measles. These are the medical facts. https://t.co/qKBeAUXVXH
Sorry it’s a long read.
But I have taken the pain to write this because in my medical practice as a family physician, I have seen parents make this dangerous decision to withhold vaccines from their child and that child developed measles and end up in a serious medical emergency including death.
I hope this has helped.
Please 🙏🏿 for the audience, if you read this and run into this post by chance, please help retweet to save the life of a little child and help educate the parent.
Thank you!
