After nine months of physical and emotional changes, the last thing on many new mothers’ minds is sex. For most women, childbirth leaves their bodies and routines completely transformed, and intimacy often takes a back seat.

At this point, a man’s role is not only to support the newborn but also to make life easier for his wife. Still, the reality is that men also have needs, which can make the question of when to resume sex after childbirth a sensitive one.

So, How Long Should a Man Wait?

Health experts usually recommend waiting at least six weeks after delivery before resuming vaginal sex. This allows the uterus to shrink back to its normal size, gives time for tears or incisions to heal, and ensures that postpartum bleeding (lochia) has stopped.
But is six weeks a one-size-fits-all answer?

Dr Shakrulla Habeeb, a medical doctor, public speaker and public health advocate, shared a different view in a post on X.

He wrote, “Forget the medically recommended six weeks for a woman to recover postpartum. Real men wait for her to make the first move, because only she knows when her body is ready. It may be less or more than six weeks.”

His point raises an important truth: the woman’s readiness matters most.
While doctors may give guidelines, every woman’s recovery is unique.

Some may feel ready in three weeks, while others may take months before regaining comfort and confidence. The key is open communication, patience, and respect for the woman’s body and emotions.

At the end of the day, the ball is firmly in her court. If she says she’s ready, then she’s ready. If she isn’t, then her partner must respect that. Postpartum sex is less about the calendar and more about the woman’s healing and choice.

49 years ago, these Nigerian 'leaders of tomorrow' were photographed on their way to school in Lagos with some smiling and others carrying their bags on their heads.

The caption of the photo by Keystone adds that many children went to school for the first time at the beginning of the 1976/77 school year after free primary education was introduced in the autumn of 1976.

Notable Ex-boys who recently passed out from the Nigeria Defence Academy.

Wish them well, your time will also come and you will be celebrated like this by God's grace.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it will break what it described as “corruption siege” in Nigeria by ensuring that all its personnel maintains integrity in their discharge of duties.

The anti-graft agency charged its officers to be anti-graft fighters buoyed by patriotic disposition and accountable conducts, adding stiff punishment awaits any officer who deviates.

The Chairman of the commission, Ola Olukoyede, gave the charge on Friday during the Passing out Parade of 404 EFCC cadets which was held at Nigeria Police Mobile Force Training College, Ende Hills, Akwanga, Nasarawa State.

Daily Trust reports that the PoP, which had Nasarawa State governor, Abdullahi Sule, and other dignitaries in attendance, comprise 294 detective superintendents cadets and 110 detective inspectors cadets.

Speaking during the event, Olukoyede said the sustenance of the Commission’s culture of exemplary law enforcement, anchored on global best practices is at the heart of its huge investment in the training of its cadets.

The anti-graft agency boss said, “The Commission has shown that it is capable of tackling any economic and financial crime and this is not just self-adulation or aggrandisement.

“It is owing to its development of effective manpower that can weather the storms of investigations and prosecution of cases. We will continue in this trajectory.

“Fresh officers coming into the fold of the EFCC should seek to surpass existing records of progress in their various sections and units. We are eager to break the siege of graft in our land and by our individual and corporate determination, we will surely sail through.”

On his part, governor of Nasarawa State, who doubled as the Reviewing Officer of the Parade, said there is a need for establishing special and separate courts for corruption cases trial to avoid current bottlenecks.

He also congratulated the cadets for demonstrating resilience and determination.

“I congratulate all of you for going through this and demonstrating exactly that you are indeed ready for Nigeria. After witnessing what you have just demonstrated today, we believe that the future of Nigeria is very bright.”

“I also applaud the EFCC for its successes in the anti-corruption fight. I want to use this medium to urge members of the National Assembly to further strengthen the Commission in the pursuit of its mandate with a recommendation of the creation of a special anti-corruption court.

“I also want to thank the members of the National Assembly for the support that they have continued to give you, the EFCC, for what you are achieving.

But as we are going through a constitutional review, I want to use the opportunity to ask the National Assembly to consider a special court that will be given these kind of cases to be managed,” he said.

Racoon, I don't understand why the second picture featured in this collection.Please enlighten me

Aba is NOT a relic of Lagos, Aba is a strong town with its own history, culture and pride. It is a town that has its own stories to tell and not smuggled under another city so far from it. Doing this just confused people and is an attempt to rewrite history
