@IBEDC_NG You removed our prepaid meter in 2024 for an “upgrade” and kept my family in darkness for almost 2 years. After endless stress, office visits, and document submissions, you finally returned and installed the meter and it still doesn’t work.
NO DOCTOR FINGERS A WOMAN IN LABOUR.
THIS IS A GREAT INSULT TO ALL THE HARDWORKING OBSTETRICS DOCTORS WORLD WIDE.
THE TWO FINGERS INSERTED TO EXAMINE ARE THE EYES OF THE OBSTETRICIAN.
A Hospital Is Not a Bedroom: Notes from a Labour Room
Dear Alhaji,
Young man, let me correct you, and I will do it calmly, and I wqill do it clearly, and I will do it firmly.
What you have said reveals not wickedness but ignorance, and ignorance is loud when it is unchecked. You imagine the labour room as a place of loose hands and careless intentions, but the labour room is a place of gloves and protocols and measured breath. Doctors, male or female do not enter a woman’s body for pleasure or curiosity. We enter because the cervix speaks a language only touch can translate, and because dilation is a story the eyes cannot read. We examine to know if labour has begun, and to know how far it has gone, and to know if mother and child are still safe in the storm of contractions. It is clinical, and it is careful, and it is bound by rules stronger than desire.
And let me tell you what is often missing from your joke: pain.
The cervix is not a doorbell. It is a ring of nerves, and when it is touched in labour, it answers with fire. Women tighten their fists. Some whisper prayers. Some cry. Some beg us to stop. And we feel it too, not in our bodies but in our conscience, because causing discomfort is not our joy, and inflicting pain is not our sport. But sometimes, pain is the small price paid to avoid the larger tragedy of prolonged labour, and infection, and death. Sometimes, the hand that hurts is the hand that saves.
So when you laugh, and when you sexualise, and when you turn medicine into a dirty metaphor, you are not being clever. You are being careless. You are mocking women at their most vulnerable, and you are insulting the labour of those trying to keep them alive. Childbirth is not a scene for comedy. It is blood and sweat and courage. It is a woman negotiating with her own body for survival. And the examination is not a flirtation, it is surveillance, and protection, and duty.
Let me leave you with counsel, the kind that should travel with you like a shadow: A hospital is not a bedroom. And a doctor is not a lover. And a vaginal examination is not sexual contact. It is medical care. If you wish to be a man of sense, then speak with reverence about women’s bodies and about childbirth. Because one day, it may be your wife on that bed, or your sister, or your daughter. And on that day, you will not want jokes. You will not want bravado. You will want skill, and seriousness, and hands guided by knowledge rather than hunger. You will want a doctor who understands that this moment is not about desire, but about life.

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.
My neighbor just got a breast cancer diagnosis & needs 300,000 in tests she can’t afford. Know any foundations offering free diagnostics for uninsured patients? Or someone who’s navigated this? Pls share resources or DM me! #BreastCancerSupport#CancerResources#CancerAwareness
