QAPHAYNE: 6) UNASSISTED NIGERIAN BIRTHS:

In parts of Nigeria, pregnant women are supposed to
give birth alone. Midwives and other support come in
after the delivery, but the woman is expected to go
through the process itself without any help.
This custom has more to do with poverty and women’s
low social standing
than with independence. In a lot of
cases, the families simply don’t support asking for
outside help, no matter how much the mother needs it.
Some organizations are responding to the trend by
entering rural areas and offering help. Unaided, mothers
who give birth often suffer miscarriages or other
complications.


Bad baseless propagandistic stereotypic talk.

Hahahahaha nigayria? Bvllsh1t country inhabited by azzholes and thieving scvmbags grin

only heard from a doctor from nigeria that nurses at hospitals in that country use torchlight to deliver babies at night due to lack of electricity. https://www.nairaland.com/1282283/nurses-use-mobile-phone-torchlights#15605877

as a result, babies born in that country suffer all forms of deformities and brain dysfunction! and as a result, they are some of the dumbest in the world!

NO 6. UNASSITED NIGERIAN BIRTH.

This is so true with most FULANIS. Its a sign of modesty and bravery.
The womans stays in her room and keeps to herself all the labour pain.
Not a single noise that will show she is in labour i.e. no groanning, screeming nor shauting. Unlike other tribes the woman shauts, screems and even tear her
clothes all because she is in labour or delivering.

The Fulani woman quitely endures the labour and delivers her baby all alone,
thereafter she calls either neighbours or inlaws (if leaving with them) who come to assist with bathing the baby and cleaning the room. Infact others go extra mile by bathing the baby cleaning the room before informing others.
