Now, it’s no secret that most Naija women “hide” their pregnancies.

This is an irony of a sort because you really can’t hide something that is protruding and stretching your cloth out for the world to see, can you?

So how they “hide” it is by announcing to a few family members and friends and employers as situation demands. Why? Because there is the notion that announcing your own pregnancy with your own mouth especially on social media may draw evil attention your way and consequently harm the unborn child.

So you know someone and most times do not know they were pregnant and the next thing you see on social media is, “I survived the labour room!” “My blue/pink plane has landed!” etc announcing the birth of the baby.


Now, let us come together and reason this matter: if announcing your pregnancy on social media may attract your village people to try to harm your unborn baby, why do you think these same village people cannot harm your child after s/he is born and you splash the pictures on social media?

Or is it that after the birth of a baby, 100 years of long life on earth is guaranteed?

It would seem that more and more couples are gradually tossing away the mentality that announcing your pregnancy on social media can cause harm . . . https://9jababa.com/pregnant-nigerian-women-doing-the-duduke-challenge-is-it-safe/
