If I ever become a Commissioner of Health, or even hospital CMD, those unfortunate songs pregnant women are made to sing which demonise Ceserean Section (CS) will be banned. The cultural stigma and religious foolishness around CS have killed many Nigerian women. Awon orin werey.

Give pregnant women sensible simple lectures on diet, exercise and when to call/come to hospital for advice. Have group sessions where pregnant women share, hug and encourage each other. Not gather to sing useless nonsense songs like masquerades preparing for New Yam festival.

Antenatal sessions are NOT for jamboree. They are for serious business. That’s NOT the time for silly jingles and useless songs that demonise lifesaving medical interventions like CS and reinforce dangerous mindsets that only ends up with the women and children dead.

There are medical indications for a CS.
Some are nonnegotiable, others are.

But regardless, the reasons for a CS is because the risk of a vagina delivery for the mother and child is too high to take.

Doctors don’t just wake up to make these sort of decisions. It’s well thought
There’s NO big deal to a CS. It is one of the safest/easiest surgical lifesaving procedures that doctors have done worldwide for hundreds of years. It’s very safe. It’s quite easy. It’s usually painless. The bleeding can be well controlled. As long as it’s an expert doing it.

There are two ways of giving birth-
Through the vagina
Or through the abdomen (via CS).

NONE is superior to the other.
NONE is inferior to the other.

It is extreme medical ignorance and religious stupidity to assume that one method is automatically better regardless of context.

“But Cost implications of CS is the major concern. It can cost up to 100k”

Well, a woman and her child’s life is worth a lot more than “cost” of a procedure that is lifesaving. Besides how is stigmatising and demonising CS as a culture going to somehow bring down costs? How? A C-Section is just an operation to deliver a baby through a surgical cut made on the tummy and the womb. The cut is made across the lower tummy, just around the bikini/pant line. And after baby is taken out, the cut is sewed back. Chikena. Finito.

Less than an hour, mostly, And if you get a very good doctor, they can do the cut in such a way that nobody will ever know or see any scar. It would be very minimal, tactically hidden and you will still be able to go to spa, go to beach, go swimming and wear any outfits you really like to wear.

Olorun.

Only people who really hate women, who don’t care about lives of women as well as unborn babies subtly or overtly disapprove a medically recommended CS. There’s no other explanation. How else to explain the hatred for women that we will rather have them die than do a CS. How?

So why do doctors advise a CS?

If baby is in an abnormal position in the womb, if your Labour is getting over 12 hours and no progress, if your baby is showing signs of exhaustion in the womb from prolonged Labour, if you have very high blood pressure, if your placenta is If your placenta is located at the entrance of the womb blocking its opening, if you suddenly start bleeding internally and the child/mother is getting distressed, if the child is really big or too big for your pelvis,

Those are usually the main reasons.
ALL of which can kill.

So these are all the kinds of information you should be getting in simple understandable terminologies as a pregnant woman during your antenatal care

Antenatal Care should be run over many weeks and you should be educated on simple things like delivery options and what you want.

You should have about 10 appointments- or more- depending on you and your general health.

Someone should check you and check your baby’s health. Advise you on safe diet, supplements, exercise and answer any confusing questions you may have.

Tell you about scans and blood tests.

They would tell you about scans to see if baby has any serious disease like a heart problem or something; and they will also screen you for things like HIV just to be sure of how best to prevent baby from getting it-

So Antenatal is NOT market meeting for singing and dancing.

Don’t get me wrong.
Good songs are nice.
Dancing is a form of exercise.

However the songs should contain healthy positive messages, not silly cultural myths that are terribly dangerous and does nobody no good. That’s my point and perspective.

I hope this is clear enough.

Hope they have arrested that diplomat that killed yesterday in Abuja?

Nigerians used to be abused in foreign countries of the WEST in the past, then it moved closer home to 'local' countries like South Africa, Ghana, Togo...and now, it has even moved closer to even more 'local' locations like Abuja and Lagos!

Small time now, foreigners will eneter our houses and shoot us or slap key into our ear drums!

Who we offend like this? ABUSE EVERYWHERE, ON NIGERIANS
And we say we have "elelcted Government"?

An American has been arrested and detained by the police at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos for allegedly assaulting a towing service official at the airport.

Breedlove Shawn was reportedly accosted by airport officials on Wednesday for allegedly parking at a restricted area of the airport.

The American national was said to have reacted angrily by breaking his car key in the ear of a towing service official.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the towing Company, Billafary Towing Service Limited, Lamidi Falekulo, said the victim was taken to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja where surgery was performed on him, Igbere TV reports.

Mr Falekulo narrated the incident during a stakeholders’ forum organised by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria’s SERVICOM unit.

“As they were struggling, I didn’t know how he managed to break the key in the worker’s ear. The Airport Police Command detained him and our staff was taken to LASUTH where they operated on him to remove the key,” he said.

The Divisional Police Officer, International Airport, Danjuma Garba, said Mr Shawn would be charged with assault and “inflicting grievous bodily injury” on a man.

casperuk:
The man wanted to kill him. It is a tactical way to kill someone. You can stab someone in the ear and it goes directly to puncture the brain. The tissues around the ears are soft. It equivalent to trying to stab his brain. The American man must be a military trained personal. That’s a military tactical move.

If I hold a biro/pen you will think I am defence less and not armed. Hmm, if I use that inner part to stab into your ear, you will realise I am a deadly weapon. (The length of a pen is enough to kill you if I can drive it all in into your ear).
That’s high class training.

Peace out!

He should be made to serve as deterrence to his chinese and indian counterparts who often go scot free after molesting Nigerians because they feel they are untouchable due to their connection to the people at the corridor of power.
