A woman in progress. Constantly stressed.. Just here to bookmark videos of foods I may never cook and like Japa pictures because all of us no go die here 😏
This is the last time I will say this here. I have seen many homes in Ajah are now for sale. If you know what is good for you and your generation, get a good surveyor, before you buy houses anywhere around Ajah.
If possible, use your bank to buy it. Let them do the due diligence for you.
I won’t say more than this.
I'm a cardiologist. A 42-year-old mother of two came to my office complaining of jaw pain and crushing fatigue. She ran half-marathons. Her EKG was normal. Another doctor had sent her home with anxiety medication.
When I got her into the cath lab, I found severe microvascular disease — plaque choking the tiniest vessels of her heart, the ones standard angiograms routinely miss.
Her heart had been starving in silence while everyone told her she was stressed.
She is alive today. Too many women like her are not.
Heart disease kills more women than every cancer combined. And medicine is still diagnosing it through a male lens.
84% of cardiologists report having patients in the past year whose heart disease was misdiagnosed by another physician. Women with a STEMI heart attack have a 59% greater chance of being misdiagnosed compared to men. Women with an NSTEMI — 41% greater chance.
The reason is structural. For decades, we screened, tested, and treated women using a template built for men.
Men's heart attacks announce themselves — the crushing chest pain, the clutched fist, the Hollywood collapse. Women's hearts whisper. Crushing fatigue that feels like wearing a lead vest. Jaw pain written off as TMJ. Nausea blamed on a stomach bug. An ache between the shoulder blades blamed on a long week. Shortness of breath blamed on being out of shape.
For years, medicine called these "atypical" symptoms. They are not atypical. They are female-typical. Half of humanity is not a variant.
And the biology runs deeper than symptoms.
Women have smaller hearts and narrower coronary arteries. Plaque doesn't only clog the big highway vessels — it hides in the microvasculature, the tiny branches feeding the heart muscle itself. A woman can have a heart attack with a completely "clean" standard angiogram.
SCAD — spontaneous coronary artery dissection — occurs 90% of the time in women. Often young, fit women with zero traditional risk factors. It's the leading cause of heart attack in women under 50, accounting for roughly one quarter of all cases in that age group. Most doctors have never diagnosed one.
And some of the most dangerous cardiac risk factors are hidden in women's medical histories where no one thinks to look:
Preeclampsia or gestational hypertension doubles to quadruples lifetime heart disease and stroke risk. Pregnancy is the body's first cardiac stress test — and these complications are early warning sirens, not closed chapters.
Autoimmune disease — lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis — far more common in women, turbocharges inflammation and plaque formation at any age.
Cardiovascular disease in women aged 20-44 is projected to surge nearly 50% by 2050.
The youngest patients in my practice keep getting younger.
What every woman should ask her doctor — and what every doctor should be asking:
"Given my pregnancy history, autoimmune status, and family history — what is my full cardiovascular risk?" If they don't ask about preeclampsia or gestational diabetes, volunteer it.
"Should I have an Lp(a) test and a coronary calcium score?" Standard cholesterol panels miss too much. Lp(a) is genetic, one-time, and most women have never been tested.
"My tests came back normal but my symptoms haven't stopped — what's next?" Normal stress tests and angiograms can miss microvascular disease, spasm, and SCAD. Persistent symptoms warrant coronary CT angiography or cardiac MRI.
And if something feels wrong — say these exact words to your doctor: "I am concerned this could be my heart."
That single sentence changes the workup. Do not soften it. Do not apologize for it.
80% of heart disease is preventable. But the playbook has to be built for female biology.
Two decades ago, I wrote one of the first books warning that heart disease was the number one killer of women and that medicine was diagnosing it through a male lens. It was recognized by First Lady Laura Bush at the White House during the early years of the national conversation about women's heart health.
I'm haunted by how much of that book I could republish today unchanged.
The science has advanced. The awareness has grown. But the gap between what we know and what happens in the exam room is still costing women their lives.
Share this with every woman you love — and every doctor who treats them. READ MORE: https://t.co/4LRugiY8q2
When @Dr_Afo said very soon Babalawo would run our teaching hospitals I thought he was exaggerating.
Just this evening I met a junior who just finished his house job, asked him where he was working while preparing for NYSC and he mentioned the name of a federal teaching hospital.
I was met with a rude shock, argued with him that government hospitals won't employ without NYSC discharge certificate and he told me they retained most of their set as Medical officers to work as contract staffs.
If this is happening in our teaching hospitals what is the fate of our general hospitals or PHcs?
We are in a crisis.
Remember this happened in 2015. Due to the desperation of APC, HE WAS BURNT ALIVE WITH HIS FAMILY SO THAT BUHARI WOULD BE DECLARED WINNER.
This is Alhaji Mukaila Abdulahi, the Former INEC Kano REC whose house was set ablaze after rejecting the 2015 APC Presidential Results of 1.9 Million Votes without a single void presented to him.
He was roasted Alive on the 3rd of April, 2015 with his Wife and two daughters by APC murderers.
Don't allow anybody to gaslight you.
APC is a terrorist organisation.
Mr Segun Bode Adedeji a staff of the university of Benin was arraigned before justice Adekanmbi by EFCC for fraud.
The yahoo he did was working in University of Benin and National orthopaedic hospital Benin at the same time as a full time staff.
Now, a lot of healthcare workers are into this fraud without knowing, particularly the lantern people, pls and pls, having a full time employment in 2 federal facilities or a federal and state facility at the same time is considered a fraudulent act under the 1999 constitution.
Don't say you weren't told.
Ghana also had a Fulani herdsmen problem until they banned open grazing btw.
It just took one executive order.
But sure, let us “play politics” our way into terror and famine.
It’s only a matter of time.
@IBEDC_NG Whenever other states/regions have electrical issues,the people of lafenwa itele in ado odo ota LGA suffers too.
Despite @IBEDC_NG rationing our electricity supply,we’ve not had a blink of light since yesterday! This is a norm @TCN_NIGERIA and it’s not okay at all.
It’s 2026 fgs!
I have video evidence
Please support a mum that just had a baby via CS. Life is also happening to her husband.

After giving birth, a woman's internal wounds take six months to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, two years for hormonal balance, and up to five years to rediscover her identity. Relationships frequently fail during this time due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new mothers; they are facing more challenges than it appears.
I’ll gush over every act of kindness, whether big or small. Cos you didn’t even have to do it but you did.
It just means you thought of me and how to make me happier or make my life easier. That’s enough really. That’s a big deal for me. 🥹
You cannot integrate kidnappers back into the society either. They’ve tasted “fast money” made from committing crime. You cannot release them back into the society and hope that they go back to learning how to live slow.
Early this year, my colleague was kidnapped on her way home from work.
The parents ran hectar skelter to gather seven million naira after negotiating it from 10M.
After several loans and contribution from family and friends, they got the money after two months and delivered to the kidnappers.
The girl was released. She said there was no day that they were not gang rapped in the bush both morning and night.
The kidnappers selected their choice and temporarily Married them.
A woman to two men, some to three or four men.
Two weeks after her release, we lost her to su!cide.
This government is not just damaging the economy and people's life.
The government is indirectly k!lllng our youths.
The government especially Tinubu knows everything about the insecurities in the country and he's a willing accomplice because according to him,
On matters of security, the bulk stops at the President's table. Like in other countries, Tinubu is the Chief Security Officer.
Tinubu is kidnapping our children.
Tinubu is kllllng our youths.
TINUBU MUST STOP THE Klllng he allowed in this country.
