Some people felt CS is a curse or big problem. Alas, it isn't a problem at all. It's a relief

If you check well, na lack of money that's at the root of all these alleged stubbornness. Surgery in Nigeria today no be small money. I feel sorry for the poor women.
Lack of money at 9th month.
How can a mans wife be pregnant for 9 months and he won't be prepared. We are talk about 9 whole months.
The man isn't ready to be a father then

Even if a quarter of Nigeria's population die from APC's unguided economic policies, Oyibo go even happy.

When you advice women to work and have their own funds before marriage and having children, they'll not hear.
A woman with her own money will quickly pay for the cs and sign for herself and get it done.

Emergency wards don't have male and female sections. Both genders stay together. I've visited there several times to see sick relatives.

I thought it was a case of penury.

Is there a religious reason why some couples or husbands don't like CS?
Re: Man Shares How He Witnessed Two Maternal Deaths At The Hospital Where He Was Adm by Mom007(f): 2:19pm On Jun 19, 2025
When I was saying in a previous topic that giving birth was a life and death experience, one boy who had never experienced as much as a menstrual cycle before talk less of labor and delivery was telling me what I know not.

All I can say is, women, look well before you marry. Never marry a man without pity. A man who is not moved with your tears.

Me wey strong... me that can carry full bag of flour from my car booth into bakery unassisted, me that worked up till days to my delivery... see me weeping in labour room and asking my husband to help me... as if he can help me deliver... cheesy

It is well. Shout out to every mother out there! Y'all are the real James bond! Hence my moniker 'Mom007'.

Why do we go against God's time?
It was simply their time to go, CS is a sin and an abnormal act in the Bible.
The husbands should be grateful to know their wife and child is in heaven.
Doctors should stop trying to play God, There are no many doctors in hell.
Have you gone to Hell before? If you haven't then you cannot prove factually where the Doctors are.

I think we need to abolish this consent. Seriously a lot of people die due to this nonsese.
Doctors do not need consent to do whats right, otherwise their years of education is a waste. In a backward poor society such as ours, people can reject doctor's advices due to poverty and financial obligations.
You will be shocked to hear it happens in "saner climes" with over religious 9ja people.
Even when cost is not an issue, some funny mentality persists.

They want to call Daddy GO in 9ja before consenting to CS. Some want hubby, who left home 24 hours ago, going from job to job, to allow her consent.

So long she's conscious and speaking for herself, doctors can't overrule her.
Sometimes, the baby is already maimed before she finally agrees to CS.
Trust 9ja to claim victim and poor care due to racism.

At times the hospital pays out damages because racism accusation even if false, can be damaging in the public space. To avoid rofo rofo.

A lot of 9ja people na case o.

Oga how old are you huh Are you married huh Is No then let me tell you why they refused.. critical thinking you have to understand the situation of the country and u know how much the doctors has told them it will cost that made them to depend on God for miracle and save delivery.. the country is very bad. 70 percent of Nigeria couple don't have upto 300k in their accounts. How much is cs
Re: Man Shares How He Witnessed Two Maternal Deaths At The Hospital Where He Was Adm by Jeje247: 2:35pm On Jun 19, 2025
Might be that money is the issue.

The cost of CS nowadays is quite high but there are so many families that are incredibly poor and can't afford such. They also don't attend antenatal checks, do relevant tests or take necessary medications. Some of those problems could easily be averted.
If a family can save just 1k per day for 9 months, they will almost cover the surgery fee, should it come that
Re: Man Shares How He Witnessed Two Maternal Deaths At The Hospital Where He Was Adm by April4th(m): 2:38pm On Jun 19, 2025
Can't blame the husbands though, most times these doctors are in a hurry to carry out CS due to the money involved. My first daughter was delivered through CS, the mum was already in labour and the doctor couldn't wait for the baby to come normally before declaring it must be CS. My second was delivered naturally, without any issues. Baby and mother fine to the glory of God.

Do you think God was a fool when he made women to give birth by their vaginal?
God was not foolish when he gave men wisdom of medicine. He did that for the purpose of glorifying his name.

You lack life experience my dear. I used to talk like you... unplanned circumstances can wipe out all of ones savings in the 9th month. That's a possibility. Moreover, the issue of surgery may have come up as an emergency. Maybe the men are low income earners that didn't have tons of money of saved up.

Now, assuming you are earning 100K monthly ( which used to be a reasonable amount two years ago) as a family man, no matter how you save , you can't save up enough money for a surgery in today's Nigerian economy.

"My pastor said I'll deliver like a Hebrew woman"...I once heard my neighbour's pregnant wife telling someone on the phone.

She placed much trust on her pastor than her doctor.


To be frank, if I have an organisation, I'll first employ a gambler before employing a religious fanatic.
Mathias Ezeaku of Onitsha has been preaching against religion extremism especially the so called Christians. Our pastors has brain washed alot of idiottts to think with there anusss or not to think at all. I think I will join him to preach against this fake Christianity Britain brought to Africa. Our churches are just business centers organized by businesses men.

The main reason is cost..
CS is very expensive..very expensive
So to most families just barely surviving..CS option isn't viable...so I don't blame the men for their decision.
Another thing..some hospitals..in a bid to make more money would recommend CS even when it's not medically necessary..they usually target first timers, whose desperation is clearly visible.
There should be a mechanism to help such people offset the medical bills incurred especially CS.
Pregnancy Insurance for once .. specifically targeted at women..to cover CS if needed would go a long way to alleviate any financial distress

Yes young people won't understand anything about marriage until they enter. No matter how you explain it, they won't understand. The funny thing is each marriage comes with different tactics.

Nothing is certain when it comes to labor...but just follow doctors advice and pray you have funds or support from somewhere.

My only issue are religious extremists who reject blood transfusion or who say they will deliver like Hebrew woman and die in the process

Sometimes the major problem is not that the husband doesn't want CS , but the fee is usually way higher than normal delivery
That's why one must plan well before trying for a baby. No one ever knows how the delivery process will turn out.

Who said a woman can't be operated upon without her consent??
A conscious woman does not need the validation of her husband, pastor, brother or father to have a Caesarean section, only a woman who is incapacitated does.


It's only ignorant and foolish women that would trade their lives for their husbands decisions in such situations where their husbands barely understand what they are going through. Nonsense. You own your life. Stop being a minion.

I used to say this thing you just said but believe me, bad things can happen to anybody no matter how much you plan; I use to abuse people that allows fuel to finish in their car before refilling until it happened to me. You can plan all you want, and it gets to delivery period all the money you planed and saved for has finished before delivery. Abi no be this country that inflation is everywhere.

Except you have over 10m kept in one account, almost every man would want to exercise their options before paying over millions or above 700k for CS

Loosing children all because of ignorance and the ability to see that science is to better our lives than to harm needs to be treated urgently by enlightening everyone.

These kind of issues can be stopped when people get the right education of CS
