I hope this serves as a lesson for us to critically scrutinize what they push to our ears in the name of music. Music is a tool for passing message: Negative or Positive. Let’s be selfish with what we applaud and promote.
Naira Marley destroyed many people sha.
When we talk about actions having consequences, it goes beyond doing shit and facing its outcome. The repercussions goes beyond you. The child you molest today goes on to molest many children who will molest many others - creating a ripple effect of damages.
Naira was raised on the street of Peckham where gangsterism was the order of the day. All they did was do drugs, kill and make dangerous music. How are you under arrest over 100 times before 21? When he sang those crazy songs about killing your family, he was in London.
Man came to lawless Nigeria with songs that questioned every values you were raised with and we welcomed him with open arms and he took over the street. How do we start counting the number of women he has drugged and abused for sport? Or the young men looking up to him to take them off the street through their talents but has been damaged beyond repair? How many has he turned killers and drug mules?
All these started from bad parenting and leaving a child to be raised in the street by people that were not raised. Naira is a self confessed thugs. He is even too young still, to be this criminal minded but he has been at it all his life and it can't change anytime soon. He has never promoted a worthy cause. It is always debauchery, crime, drug, masturbation, abuse, crazy dances. Yet, his influence grew and he was bagging ambassadorial deals. From all the reports coming out, it seems killing is his favourite threat because that is how he was taught to elimate problems. It is normal for him now.
When you celebrate what should be condemed, you tell the kids of today that it is okay. Good girl/boy no dey pay is what has led some into this life of no return. One victim of poor parenting with countless damaged victims. Be intentional with how you raise your own kids so the street doesn't damage them for you.
I work at a bridal consignment shop where we sell secondhand wedding dresses.
Last week, a young woman came in completely alone.
No friends. No mom. No champagne.
She found a dress she absolutely loved.
It was $400.
She quietly placed $200 on the counter and asked if she could put it on layaway because she was trying to save little by little after her fiancé recently lost his job.
I looked at the tag and remembered the original owner had been trying to sell that dress for months.
At one point she even told me:
“I honestly just want it out of my closet.”
So I pretended to check the computer and then said:
@adaezennaji_ Remember I asked earlier before you made it a whole post, actually tried it the next day and it wasn’t bad. Gave it this extra color although I added just really little.
Cooking is an art. Thanks for the added knowledge.
IVF IN NIGERIA: I WILL EXPOSE ALL THE BAD PRACTICES
BEFORE YOU DO IVF IN NIGERIA, PLEASE READ THIS POST
READ, SHARE AND REPOST. Walk with me. A long read!
Dear Nigerians,
You know I am always here for you.
When Hope Is Monetised: A Quiet Reckoning with IVF Practice in Nigeria
I will speak now, carefully and firmly, and without raising my voice, because some truths do not need shouting. They only need honesty, and courage, and a willingness to look at oneself in the mirror and not look away.
IVF is hope with a needle, and science with a prayer stitched quietly into it. And so when hope is mishandled, when science is bent, when desperation is treated as a business model, something sacred is broken. Not loudly. But deeply.
Too many IVF centres in Nigeria are breaking that trust.
Yes, success rates can be high in a batch, and yes, miracles do occur. But statistics, like stories, must be told whole. To announce a 70% success rate without disclosing the average is to sell aspiration without context. Globally, we know the numbers hover around 39–45%, and patients deserve that truth, not a curated fantasy designed to make them sign consent forms with trembling hands.
And then there is competition. Oh, how ugly it becomes when it forgets dignity. To pull another centre down in order to appear taller is not excellence; it is insecurity dressed in a lab coat. Let your outcomes speak. Let your ethics speak louder.
Some women should not proceed with IVF at a given time. A thin endometrium is not an inconvenience to be ignored because the patient is hopeful and uninformed. It is a message. And good medicine listens before it acts.
There is also the quiet danger of underqualified hands, staff hired cheaply, trained poorly, and placed in rooms where lives, embryos, futures are handled. Cost-cutting that endangers patients is not innovation; it is negligence pretending to be efficiency.
And please, let us stop pretending we can guarantee twins or triplets. Doctors are not gods, no matter how advanced the laboratory. To promise multiples is to lie, softly perhaps, but still to lie. Worse still is the reckless transfer of too many embryos, gambling with women’s bodies in the name of higher odds. The world has moved toward single-embryo transfer for a reason. Multiple pregnancies are not trophies; they are high-risk realities.
Patients, already bruised by time and bills and monthly disappointment, deserve respect. Not eye-rolling. Not impatience. Not silence. Certainly not deception, like injecting hCG injection to manufacture a positive pregnancy test, or withholding a negative result because 'she isn’t ready to hear it.' Who decides readiness? Truth delayed is still harm delivered.
You are a serial killer if you inject hcg injections to your patients so it looks like it's positive pregnancy test.
And then there is the cruelty of omission: skipping essential medications to save money and calling it 'coasting,' proceeding to egg retrieval when stimulation has clearly failed, administering placebos as if patients will not one day ask questions. These are not grey areas. They are wrong.
Bad news must be broken gently, and honestly, and by people trained to hold grief without dropping it. Counselling is not an optional extra. It is part of care.
If a procedure is beyond your skill, refer. If a complication occurs, disclose. Duty of candor is not a Western idea; it is a human one.
And yes, IVF is expensive. Drugs are costly. But exploitation wears a particular smell, and patients can sense it even when invoices are wrapped in polite language.
Medications are not communal property. Embryos are not to be shared, traded, or 'managed' without explicit consent. These are not resources. They are possibilities. They are futures.
STOP GIVING PEOPLE'S EMBRYOS OUT WITHOUT CONSENT. YALL BE MOVING MAD!
Do your best, always. But remember the limits of medicine.
Playing God has never ended well.
IVF is already an emotional rollercoaster, and patients climb aboard with faith, and fear, and emptied savings accounts. What they deserve is transparency, integrity, and care that does not flinch when tested.
So this is a call,not for punishment, but for accountability. Not for silence, but for reform. Not for perfection, but for decency. Do better.
Because hope, when entrusted to you, should never leave your hands diminished.
I don’t know what to do or how to act around a grieving person. What do you want to say that they’ve not heard? Also you don’t know what can trigger them. Grief is hard.
I once fired a staff member who had been coming late to work.
I didn't care to know why he was acting the way he did. I had earlier warned him about his late coming that week, and the following week, when I discovered he had come late 3 times, I issued a sack letter to him.
They know what they’re feeding you. You don’t. And that’s the trap.
In saner societies, when you walk into a grocery store, you have a fighting chance.
You’ll see:
– “Non-GMO”
– “USDA Organic”
– “Glyphosate-free”
– “No hormones. No antibiotics.”
– “Raised without chemicals.”
You may still be buying rubbish — but at least, you’re buying it knowingly.
In Nigeria?
Forget it.
You’re buying maize that’s genetically modified to produce its own pesticide.
You’re feeding your baby beans that are resistant to every insect except the one eating her stomach lining.
You’re buying tomatoes that have never seen real soil.
But there is no label.
No warning.
No way to opt out.
Because your government does not care about your consent.
They approved GMO crops in 2019 — quietly.
No public campaign.
No mass education.
No labeling law.
No responsibility.
You eat blind.
You’re not choosing between real and fake.
You’re just buying what looks red and round.
And if you get cancer?
If your child starts having allergies?
If your sperm count drops?
If your hormones collapse?
If your gut becomes inflamed?
They’ll say it’s stress.
They’ll say you’re getting old.
But the truth is, you were poisoned — by “food.”
Food you never had a chance to reject.
Because no one gave you the information.
No one gave you the label.
No one gave you the right to say no.
It’s deeper than food.
It’s a war.
A war where:
– Your fatigue is not from hard work. It’s from inflammation.
– Your bloating is not because of age. It’s gut confusion.
– Your infertility is not spiritual. It’s biochemical sabotage.
You think you’re shopping.
You’re walking into a chemical experiment.
And you’re the lab rat.
Because you never asked.
Because they never told you.
Because in Nigeria, transparency is a threat.
They know if they put “Genetically Modified Organism” on that corn, sales will drop.
So they hide it.
They silence it.
They bury it under hunger and economic stress.
And you keep feeding yourself and your children food that would come with a warning label in Europe or the US.
That is not carelessness.
That is a crime.
So if you still think:
– Cheap rice is rice
– Imported apples are a gift
– Bread is innocent
– And maize is just maize
You’re already lost.
Wake up.
Start asking:
– Where was this grown?
– What seed was used?
– Is this sprayed?
– Is this ripened with gas?
– Why does this fruit never rot?
And if they can’t answer, walk away.
Because you may not know what you’re eating.
But your body does.
Don’t forget to reach out for a diet plan. Share and tag your friends.
Let them know what they’re really eating.
VERY GOOD NEWS!!!!
I’m really happy to announce this.
After I made an open letter to @PeterObi about the dental student of UniCal, he tweeted about it and he has done far more than we can imagine!!!
@PeterObi has just given 20million naira to the Faculty of Dentistry in University of Calabar to help the 400 dental students who are being threatened with expulsion and withdrawal from university by the VC after the school deliberately over-admitted students.
Part of the accreditation problem that the school has been no money to buy the appropriate equipments to train the dental students. Now with this donation by @PeterObi , the university of Calabar is getting closer to resolving all their accreditation problems.
Please join me to thank @PeterObi for his relentless commitment to helping the oppressed and downtrodden in our country.
To everyone of you who joined us to speak up for these dental students, May God bless you all!!!!
Please let us continue to speak up.
We can all make a difference as long as we do not keep quiet!
Please help retweet and share this to thank Mr @PeterObi for everything he has done. This is leadership- not just in words but in action!

Please everyone come close here:
Kindly read this and pls share far and wide.
WHENEVER YOU GO TO A HOSPITAL AND YOU ARE TOLD YOU HAVE “MALARIA AND TYPHOID”, IT IS MOSTLY A SCAM, A FRAUD AND A LIE.
The popular widal test used to diagnose “typhoid” is an outdated, nonspecific, and a largely useless test for typhoid. And if the hospital never did a stool culture, or blood culture yet they say you have typhoid, it is a scam.
People have malaria yes.
Most of them have no typhoid.
But if they don’t add typhoid on your diagnosis, how will the hospitals bill you heavy money?
I have been screaming this for years that widal test is a scam. It is a total scam and a lie. Anybody who truly wants to test for typhoid will do a blood culture or stool culture.
Once you see widal test on your form,
Just know you are being scammed.
It is a useless pointless test used to defraud people by giving them a diagnosis of a typhoid they don’t have so they can bill them heavy money to pay as hospital charges or consultation fees.
But the same uninformed ignorant Nigerians we are trying to educate and sensitise regarding this issue to save them from fraud will come under this post and start defending their right to be scammed, so I’ve stopped wasting my time.
Anyway to those who have working ears;
If you are sick and someone is sending you for a widal test, ask them what they are hoping to diagnose with the test? If they say it is typhoid they want to check, ask them if they truly believe that, why are they not doing a blood culture or a stool culture?
In summary,
Let me not bore you with unnecessary technicalities, the simple message here is NEVER EVER DO WIDAL TEST FOR TYPHOID. NEVER EVER DO IT.
You can do malaria test. But not widal test.
Widal test is a scam, a fraud and a tool used by many hospitals to defraud you, overcharge you and exploit you.
I hope this message is clear and helpful.
If you feel dizzy upon standing, cough hard multiple times to momentarily raise your blood pressure, potentially get blood to your brain faster to avoid fainting, and possibly adjust cardiac rhythm. I call it self defibrillation but it’s apparently called cough cpr irl
In Abuja, over 400 public schools have been closed for 86 days, teachers striking over unpaid ₦70k wages.
Kids are losing time, hope, and pride.
This isn’t just a crisis—it’s an emergency.
The killings in Benue cannot keep being met with silence. These are lives lost, families broken, and futures stolen. Nigeria, how many more? This is a national emergency that we all must partake in.
