And I said babies will swallow most of what you clean their teeth with, salt included. Salt should not be introduced into a baby's mouth or diet.

Rule 1

Dont call any phone number given to you on this forum, they are scammers and all they want is your money.
They have no problem profiting from your misery, it is what they do.

Rule 2, if you love her, go ahead. All you will need is good health care and that of course has it's financial implications. Ladies with Sickle cell disease are human beings with desires and emotions too, they are not objects or liabilities as many people are wont to classify them.
The most important thing to be aware of is that pregnancies in sickle cell anemia are classed as high risk and should be managed by a consultant Obstetrician not just any doctor.
I wish you all the best, save all your money for quality obstetric care and not these scam medications all over the place. You've been warned.

Obviously the OP is just out to drive traffic to his pathetic blog.

The Nigerian film industry has grown and made an impact in many parts of the continent,

What is big in Africa today are the Nigerian films, popularly know Nollywood, the second largest film industry in the world in terms of output after India’s Bollywood. Depending on where you sit, Nollywood’s penchant for witchcraft, the occult, evil step-mothers, and treacherous pot-bellied polygamists, is either terrible stuff that confounds the stereotype of Africa as a “heart of darkness”, or good authentic material. Whatever your position, Nollywood is hugely popular in Africa

WTF?!?!?!?!?
Probably coming from someone who has not faced racism or job bias outside naija b4. Useless

Olaoluwa Senayo’s ‘Igwe!!! Monarchy, Paradox and Cultural Passage in Nollywood: Some Preliminary Notes’ centred on the portrayal of the republican Igbo society as a monarchy in Nollywood movies. He argued that productions have popularised the Igwe theme to the extent that Nigerians and others erroneously believe that the Igbos are monarchical. Senayo, who disclosed that the paper is part of an ongoing research and who used ‘My Kingdom Come’ as example, submitted that Nollywood has succeeded in diffusing the concept of Igbo monarchy into Nigerian popular culture.

Emmanuel Adedun’s paper, ‘From Yoruba to English: The Untranslatable in Selected Nollywood Movies’ generated a lot of reaction from the audience, probably because of the scholar’s position. The lecturer in the Department of English, University of Lagos, contended that English subtitling of Yoruba films contain linguistic and cultural inadequacies which causes a gap in communication with the audience. Adedun was also of the belief that the low standard of subtitling in Nigerian movies is due to lack of professionalism. Using slides from three Yoruba movies, ‘Ipile Wa’, ‘Apaadi’ and ‘Aba’ as examples, Adedun noted that there are some chants, proverbs and incantations that filmmakers find untranslatable in English.

He submitted that as a result, there are communication gaps, misleading semantic inaccuracies and embarrassing grammatical infelicities in a significant number of Yoruba films. Adedun, however, did not fail to offer some suggestions. He noted that cultural matters can and should be communicated and that Nigerian filmmakers should pay attention to subtitling. Adedun also recommended hiring of competent professionals to subtitle; and the establishment of centres and institutes of translation studies.
