My brother sold his phone to buy my WAEC form. I found out 12 years later, from his wife.
I always thought my father paid for that form. That's what everyone told me, so I never questioned it. "Just face your books, everything is settled." Fathers say things like that and you believe them, no follow-up questions...
This is Damilola, a 28 year old. And no, SHE'S NOT PREGNANT 🥹
For the past eight years, a massive fibroid has been growing in her uterus, causing her abdomen to look like she is at least six months pregnant.
Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, brilliance, and immeasurable impact of women across the world.
International Women’s Day is not only a celebration. It is a powerful reminder of the extraordinary role women play in shaping healthier families, stronger communities, and a more equitable world.
We see this reality every day!
We see it in the mother who sacrifices everything to ensure her children live healthy lives.
We see it in the young girl who dares to dream beyond the limitations placed before her.
We see it in the female healthcare workers, caregivers, community leaders, and advocates who tirelessly work to ensure that others have access to care, knowledge, and dignity.
Women are not just participants in community development,they are architects of transformation.
Across communities, women are often the first caregivers, the first educators, the first advocates for health, and the quiet yet powerful drivers of sustainable development. When a woman is empowered with knowledge, healthcare, and opportunity, the ripple effect reaches families, communities, and entire generations.
Today is also a moment for reflection.
While progress has been made globally, many women still face barriers to healthcare, education, leadership opportunities, and economic empowerment. Their voices are sometimes unheard, their contributions undervalued, and their potential under-supported.
Yet history continues to prove something remarkable:
When women rise, communities rise.
When women are healthy, families thrive.
When women are empowered, nations prosper.
So today, we do more than celebrate women.
We acknowledge their sacrifices.
We honor their leadership.
We amplify their voices.
And we recommit ourselves to building communities where every woman and girl has the opportunity to live, lead, and thrive with dignity.
To every woman making a difference in homes, hospitals, classrooms, communities, and beyond;
We see you, we value you, and we celebrate you.
Happy International Women’s Day! 💐

Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
A few days ago marked the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation. A reminder that while progress has been made, the fight is far from over.
Globally, FGM is declining. Fewer girls today are being cut compared to previous generations. That is powerful proof that awareness, education, advocacy, and community action work. But progress is not moving fast enough. At the current rate, the world risks missing the 2030 target to eliminate FGM.
Millions of girls remain at risk simply because awareness has not reached everywhere it needs to.
FGM is not culture! It is not protection! It is not health! It is a harmful practice with lifelong consequences.
FGM can lead to:
• Severe infections and chronic pain
• Sexual and reproductive complications
• Trauma and psychological distress
• Dangerous childbirth complications
• Increased risk of obstetric fistula and maternal harm
• Newborn complications and preventable deaths
These are not rare side effects. They are documented realities affecting women and girls every day.
Ending FGM requires more than laws. It requires conversations in homes, communities, healthcare spaces, schools, and faith settings. It requires men, women, youth, leaders, and professionals to speak openly and refuse silence. Awareness is not optional. It is lifesaving.
If you know anyone who needs accurate information, medical support, or guidance related to FGM or fistula care, please connect them with @BashirFistula
Access to trusted information and treatment can change and save lives.
We are seeing progress. But progress is fragile without collective action. Let us join hands, raise our voices, educate without judgment, and protect the next generation.
Zero tolerance means zero excuses.

Together, they can eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem.
🌍 A global shift in screening:
Many countries are moving from the traditional Pap smear to HPV testing, which checks directly for the virus that causes cervical cancer. It is more sensitive,
slowly and often shows no symptoms at the early stages. Screening detects HPV or abnormal cells before cancer develops. This is how lives are saved.
💉 Prevention works:
✔️ HPV vaccination protects against the most dangerous HPV types
✔️ Regular screening detects risk early
and don’t know they have it.
🦠 HPV can be passed through:
* Vaginal, anal, or oral sex
* Genital-to-genital contact without penetration
* Hand-to-genital contact if the virus is present on the skin
🩺 Why screening matters:
Cervical cancer usually develops

Almost all cervical cancers are caused by persistent infection with high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV). A very common virus transmitted through skin-to-skin intimate contact. Most people with HPV feel perfectly fine
