Try and watch @realJudebela's Power and Plunder YouTube series, especially the Murtala and Babangida episodes.
If you're completely illiterate about your country's historical context and place in the geopolitical world, you won't be afterwards.
I won't elaborate.
When doctors tell you these things, you call them misogynists in your beautiful ignorance.
Now the veteran BBL baddies are coming out to tell you with their own mouth how dangerous, unreliable and life-threatening a BBL is, I hope you will listen to them.
The best thing you can do for yourself as a Nigerian is to use that internet connection of yours while you still can, and follow/read/watch information from a wide variety of sources from all over the world.
Your Nigerian media is a Europe-US information cage. When I say "Nigerian media", I'm not just talking about news platforms. I mean your popular social media bloggers. Your big content aggregators. Your online discussion and image boards. Everything is bought and paid for, and the money is always European or American.
Do yourself a favour and unplug.
Look for news, web content, TV series, movies and discussion forums from Asia, Latin America and other parts of Africa. Watch Brazilian TV shows. Watch Chinese documentaries. Watch Vietnamese movies. Follow social media content creators from Indonesia and Russia. Lurk on Pakistani message boards. Gain a wider picture of the world while you still have access to a relatively open internet that allows you to do so.
It's the best thing you can do for yourself.
Home, again! Mission complete. I hope we glorified God, humanity, our families and our terrific teams a @NASA and @csa_asc. Time to share the good news!

Oyibo is fundamentally a liar. That is the most important thing to understand about how the world works.
He professes "freedom of speech" but stridently criticise his precious Israel and see what happens to you.
He professes "freedom of movement" but he places a 6-week visa application process with a 75% denial rate between you and him.
He professes "electoral democracy" but he has electoral colleges, constitutional monarchies and unelected upper houses of parliament with hereditary seats.
He professes "free market capitalism" but he imposes tariffs on you, subsidises everything under the sun in his local economy, and when you win anyway, he calls it "overcapacity" and tries to end the game and go home with the ball.
He professes "individual liberty" for gays and transsexuals, but calls your ancestral polygyny "barbaric".
He talks about "nuclear non-proliferation" but he remains the only entity to have ever actually used a nuclear weapon before.
He funds the UN, the ICC, the ICJ etc. but the minute they issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, he sanctions the ICC Chief Prosecutor and passes the 'Hague Invasion Act' to shield his soldiers from prosecution for war crimes.
He bitches nonstop about "illegal immigrants" and "white replacement" but no other population on the planet in the entire known history of humankind has ever left its home continent enmasse and violently seized 3 other continents, genociding the natives and outbreeding them at an industrial pace.
I could go on for days. Point is, your enhanced understanding of how the world works and your proper place in it as an African begins the day you learn to completely disregard ANYTHING you have heard from any kind of oyibo authority figure or institution.
Everything you have heard from him is a lie.
The only way marriage works is when:
The man is richer than the woman.
The man is older than the woman.
The man is stronger than the woman.
The woman loves the man more.
The man is emotionally intelligent.
The man leads.
The woman follows.
Anything less than this... is a situationship with legal papers.
