“Let go and let God,” but chile, if a senior who bullied me in high school for being femme is now actually living in acceptance, I fit scatter everything.
Some of you were just 20yrs old in 2015. You don clock 31 this year now without tangible headway. Your productive years just wasted like that because some set of people are selfish.
Omoor, APC don finish us 😭😭
I was 21. NYSC posting: a village clinic in Osun. No light. No water. Just me, a matron in her 60s, and women who walked 3 hours for antenatal.
Day 1, a 16 year old girl came in bleeding and pregnant. Her 40-year old husband said, “It’s normal. First baby always hard.”
Matron took one look at me and said, “Corper, you go learn today.”
We had no ultrasound or blood bank. Just gloves, faith, and a torchlight I held with my mouth while Matron’s hands disappeared inside that child.
For 6 hours we fought. The girl was slipping. Matron prayed in Igala and English. I cried, thinking, “This is why I wanted to japa.” 😂
Then the baby’s cry came; a small, angry boy, alive. The 14-year-old whispered, “Aunty, thank you for not running.” 😭
Covered in blood and sweat, Matron said: “You think this work na for money? This work na for the girls who don’t know their own worth yet. You stay. You fight. You stubborn. Because if we no stubborn, who go be stubborn for them?”
That was 5 years ago.
Today I’m a doctor in Lagos with a clinic in Abule Egba. Every girl who comes in with “normal period pain” that’s been killing her for years reminds me of that torchlight and Matron’s hands. I get stubborn.
I’ve diagnosed 47 cases of advanced PID this year, done 12 fibroid surgeries, and caught 3 girls early before their wombs got damaged.
Ladies, my message is simple:
1. “Normal” pain that stops your school, work, or life? It’s NOT normal.
2. Your body is not “village people.” It’s biology. Test it. Scan it. Know it.
3. Be stubborn about your health. The world will call you dramatic. Be dramatic and alive.
That matron died 2 years ago, but her stubbornness lives in every girl I refuse to let die quietly.
Since BOLA took over Nig⚠️‼️
1. Bigotry escalated
2. Forgery became legal
3. Democracy turned Tyrany
4. The Judiciary became futile
5. The National Assembly became null
6. The Nig Army became a propaganda unit
7. The EFCC became a spear used against the opposition
🤦♂️💔
Dear Homophobic Nigerians, you can see that the next season of Bridgerton will be centred on a lesbian love story.
Please save your data instead of using it to watch the show and complain about "wokeness". 🙏🏻
Go on YouTube. Mount Zion has a variety of movies that will interest you. 😁
This is a satanic administration. We all realize that satanic Zionists occupy the White House and Congress needs to move to have the Mad King Trump removed.
All of our lives may depend upon other countries realizing that Trump is deeply unwell and surrounded by religious fanatics who have convinced him that he is a messiah.
We are in uncharted territory. Leaders worldwide need to act accordingly.
