Africa, When will you develop When!!!

Don't mind them, baboons. Remain in darkness till the end but your taboo or whatever could not save your land or enrich your citizen despite sitting on top of oil but still remain abadon and forgotten. You better wake up, development is what we are after not dark age taboos that add no value to humanity.

Nice tradition and I am not in anyway condemning this tradition because everything is done for a purpose.

Kudos to the brains that came up with such wonderful tradition and I pray they don't stop practising it.

Every country have theirs "civilized" or not.

What you call religion is tradition elsewhere and what you call tradition is religion in another place.

Africans and inferiority.

How?

Because you don't know that of other countries?

Have you read the quoran and the old testament of the bible before?

Most of what you'll find there are culture of these people passed on as "religion".

Una Africans eh.

Although the culture is dying down especially for pregnant women you still have to try as much as possible to conceal the cause of the death to avoid conflicts. People who comit suicide can be shamed but I don't support the practice for women who died with pregnancy.

Not just that bros, the fear of being thrown into a bush is the beginning of taking care of your health while pregnant(antenatal and all that). I have been privileged to stay in a teaching hospital were 95 percent(assumption) of all mortality rate as regards to baby and mother is out of the neglect of either the mother or the doctors(students).


Could u imagine a woman who is pregnant and has never been to a hospital until 8moths? She only came to hospital when she encountered chicken pox,not just chicken pox but a chicken pox that she has tried to treat for more than 2weeks with one kind concoction and when she could not, she was rushed to the hospital when it was critical, she died with the baby.


Another woman who has 5kids and pregnant for the 6th, whose husband is based abroad and comfortably financially stable died of hypertaities(not sure of spelling), she has never been to a hospital till 7months, her reasons is that,"that is not her 1st time of child birth that nothing de happen". Her Blood sister even confirmed that her sister s so stingy even when d hubby sends enuff money for her, she was stingy that she could not go to the hospital, she also died with the baby.

Another case is that a woman's BP is so high that her baby needs to be evacuated @ 7 months + but she refused, her reasons is that her pastor said that she will give birth the normal old tradition way. more over, that no member of her family will has given birth tru surgery and that she wouldn't be the 1st despite all the doctors warnings and persuasion, she died that night with the baby.



Another case is were a woman has already given birth to 6 girls and pregnant for the 7th, she died because,on the 7th pregnancy, her womb ruptured and the doctors ordered that d child be evacuated together with the womb so as to save the mothers life, the husband refused and the woman didn't say a word other than to support the hubby, on the basis that she will still give birth to a boy. @ some point,when it was getting late,she became unconcius, she was rushed to th theatre, lo and behold a dead baby boy was evacuated, the woman died, it was learnt that she never visited a hospital all tru the pregnancy.



And so many other cases, my 2weeks @ a teaching hospital opened my eye, I can never go to any teaching hospital ever again, and I can not suggest for any one I know to be taken there, because they use human being for practicals. Btw, my cousin's baby died after 1week out of neglect from the doctors.



So, if your village has such tradition, plz give me one reason why u should risk your life while pregnant, even all your family members will make sure u don't end up dead with a baby as they will care for u to the best of their abilities.








Long epistle, lol

Sue? Like a jabber-mouthed, scatter brained fellow like you is worth it. What you need is a hefty koboko to shift your brain back to working order. Maybe that way you would learn the spelling for hepatitis too.

The exact case of my sister who was married in delta. She died while pregnant n wasn't even taken to her marriage place to be burried. Too bad. Despite the fact that the husband is a christian he allowed the so called tradition to prevail. Too bad.
