There is nothing wrong with this woman judging based on this photo. Nothing that makes her unfit to be with the man she likes who likes her as well. What about her skin? She is dealing with a skin condition known as vitiligo.
What is vitiligo?
First, let’s talk about melanin. Melanin is the natural pigment that gives color to your skin, hair, and eyes. It is produced by cells called “Melanocytes”. And the more melanin the melanocytes produce the darker the color, this is why you will hear things like “melanin popping”. We blacks have more melanin in our skin.
Now, to vitiligo. Vitiligo is an acquired autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks melanocytes.
Remember what we said melanocytes do, when your immune system attacks them something happens. After the attack, patches of skin lose pigment (melanin) and become milky-white or much lighter than surrounding skin.
It is important to know that vitiligo is not contagious and it is not life-threatening, but it can be progressive and has a large psychosocial impact, especially on darker skin.
Talking about psychosocial impact, that is what the lady on the photo is likely going to be dealing with when people like the one I quoted who is loud and severely deficient in intelligence keep spouting nonsense on things they do not understand such as this.
KIDNEY FAILURE: THE SILENT EPIDEMIC KILLING YOUNG PEOPLE
I will never forget the day I saw it.
A boy, not even 22, lying on a dialysis machine.
His mother sat beside him, silent, her head buried in her palms. She didn’t cry out loud, but her whole body was screaming. That kind of pain you can’t capture with words — the pain of watching your child’s life drip away in a hospital ward.
That picture still haunts me.
Because kidney failure used to be an old man’s story. Now, it is swallowing young Nigerians — our classmates, our colleagues, our neighbors.
And here is the part nobody tells you: dialysis is not a cure, it doesn't get rid of kidney failure.
It is a survival rent.
₦50,000 per session. Two or three times every week. Forever.
That’s over five hundred thousand naira every month, in a country where many people cannot afford ₦5,000 for drugs. So families sell land. They borrow. They beg. And when money runs out, hope runs out.
But how did that boy end up on that machine?
Because in this country, we treat kidneys like dustbins.
— Swallowing painkillers for every small headache.
— Using antibiotics like groundnut.
— Drinking bitters and agbo in the name of “detox.”
— Mixing energy drinks with alcohol because “the hustle must continue.”
Listen carefully: your kidney is not a generator you can pour anything inside.
Two small organs, the size of your fists, have been faithfully filtering your blood since the day you were born. No strike. No complaint. No salary.
Yet every day, we punish them until they collapse.
And when they collapse? You'll likely experience;
Swollen legs.
Foamy urine.
Shortness of breath.
And by the time you notice, it’ll already be too late.
But here’s the truth: kidney failure doesn’t just fall from the sky. It gives warning signs. And you can catch them if you check early.
👉 Run these tests at least once a year (they’re not as expensive as dialysis):
Blood pressure check – high BP silently kills kidneys.
Fasting blood sugar – diabetes is one of the biggest kidney destroyers.
Serum creatinine & eGFR – simple blood tests to measure kidney function.
Urinalysis – to check for protein, blood, or infection in your urine.
Kidney ultrasound – a quick scan to see their condition.
And then, adjust your habits:
Drink water like your life depends on it because it does, but be mindful of how much water you drink because that could also lead to water intoxication.
Rest before your body forces you to.
Stop swallowing drugs like puff-puff.
Leave concoctions and bitters for those selling them.
Get rid of junk, sugar and soda.
That boy should have been chasing his future. His mother should have been celebrating his success. Instead, they were both trapped in the endless cycle of survival rent.
Your kidney has been loyal since birth.
Be loyal back.
Because kidney failure is no longer “their problem.”
It is already here, sitting in our hospitals, destroying young lives.
Don’t wait for it to knock on your own door.

“WHY DID A TINY STONE GET STUCK IN MY BODY?”
Let’s talk about kidney stones.
Imagine your body is like a busy kitchen, and your kidneys are the cleaners.
Every day, your kidneys clean your blood and remove waste from your body through urine.
But sometimes, certain foods can leave behind substances called oxalates.
Foods like spinach, nuts, sweet potatoes, and chocolate contain oxalates.
Think of oxalate like tiny bits of chalky dust.
Then there’s calcium.
Calcium is important. It helps keep your bones strong and helps your heart and muscles work properly.
But when calcium and oxalate meet inside your kidneys, they can stick together.
Over time, these tiny pieces can form a hard crystal.
That crystal can grow into a calcium oxalate kidney stone.
Now, the stone doesn’t always stay inside the kidney.
Your body tries to remove it through your urine.
But to leave your body, the stone has to pass through a very small tube.
And because the stone is hard and can have sharp edges, passing through that tiny tube can be extremely painful.
It can feel like something is scratching or hurting you from the inside.
You may feel pain in your back or side.
You may also feel like you need to urinate frequently.
The pain can become so severe that you may even cry.
But why did the stone form in the first place?
BECAUSE:
— You didn’t drink enough water to help flush things out.
— You ate too many foods high in oxalate without enough foods that help balance it.
— You didn’t have enough magnesium or citrate, which can help reduce the chance of stones forming.
— Your kidneys were not getting enough support to keep these substances properly balanced.
HOW CAN YOU HELP YOUR KIDNEYS AND REDUCE YOUR RISK OF STONES?
— Drink plenty of clean water every day. Your kidneys need enough fluid to help flush waste out.
— Don’t overdo high-oxalate foods like spinach, almond flour, or peanuts.
— Get enough calcium from food, such as sardines, so calcium can bind with oxalate in your gut instead of allowing more oxalate to reach the kidneys.
— Eat foods that can help support your diet, such as lemon, magnesium-rich vegetables, and okra.
— Pee when you need to. Don’t hold your urine for too long.
Because at the end of the day, when your body has enough water and the right balance of nutrients, there is less chance of waste building up and forming stones.
