I saw a video of a pastor saying his wife always wanted to be a doctor and even planned to travel abroad to further her education. In the end, she never travelled, but he laughed and said,
“She’s a doctor now, just that she got her certificate in Egbeda.” And he laughed
What’s funny there, exactly? He even said, “Travel abroad while married to me? Never,” and he clearly made sure of that.
Some of you are really settling for your enemies. Having a partner who doesn’t support your growth is one of the biggest setbacks you can accept in life.
A pedophile was NOT possessed by the devil.
A rapist was NOT possessed by the devil.
A rapist was NOT lacking self control.
A pedophile is NOT mentally unstable.
These actions were conscious, calculated and done by HUMAN MALES.
My take is that churches have a huge role to play in changing this. Stop telling women to “pray about it” and start condemning homes where husbands are sexually or physically abusive.
There’s no such thing as a “peaceful home” built on a woman’s suffering. Stop encouraging women to cover the shame of evil men in the name of endurance. Teach them to speak up. Teach them to report to the police. Teach them to leave!!!
Hehehehehehe… allow me to introduce you to Nigerian religious women😂
Oh you’ve probably never met them, the real churchgoers. The ones who would rather die as ‘Mrs’ than leave a rapist or abuser. The ones who bring their daughters from past relationships into a marriage and when their new husband starts molesting those girls, they chase their own children out instead of reporting him to the police. Abi na the Deaconess who caught her husband raping a minor living under their roof yet threw the girl out in the dead of night, accusing her of seducing her golden husband? I can bet my last cent that this woman’s husband has nothing on her eh. This is simply who she is, an enabler. A wicked witch
PEPPER SOUP AND VAGINAL BIRTH.
Pepper soup restores warmth. But the womb restores itself not by pepper, but by contraction
Dear Chisom,
I know you mean well. Truly, I do. Because I, too, grew up hearing that pepper soup 'flushes out' the womb after childbirth...that the steam, the spice, and the sweat somehow persuade the body to release what it holds back. And perhaps, in a way, it does heal... not by science, but by sentiment.
But let us speak plainly and lovingly. Pepper soup will not squeeze out blood clots. Your uterus will if it is healthy.
After childbirth, the body performs one of its quiet miracles. It begins to cleanse itself, not through pepper or palm oil, but through a rhythm of its own a gentle shedding called Lochia. It begins red, turns brown, then pale, and finally stops like a sunset that knows when to rest.
If clots appear, something is amiss. Most times, it means the uterus has forgotten its duty... to contract, to stay firm, to protect. We call it uterine atony. And when that happens, blood pools where it should flow, forming clots that can steal a woman’s strength or her life.
This is why we, in medicine, watch carefully. We press the abdomen not to cause pain but to help the womb remember. We give oxytocin, or misoprostol, to whisper the message of contraction. We check for infection, for anaemia, for remnants the body couldn’t let go of on its own.
So yes, eat your pepper soup. Sip it slowly. Let it heal your body and remind you of home. But let it not replace the wisdom of care, or the science that saves.
Because culture comforts and medicine protects. And in the tender space where both meet, women survive.
The “ikewesiri ka eto gi” song
I always thought they ran into thieves but now, i’m listening with a different perspective
“Hey stop there, where are you from,
where you dey go and who are you?”
Nahhhhhh
It’s definitely the police.
