I really hope women never stop talking about their health experiences, from reproductive health and pregnancy to fibroids and ovarian cysts etc. There’s still so much we don’t know, and too many women are left navigating these experiences in silence and confusion.

Why do you need to be gagged over an outfit you’re not even wearing? You guys are incredibly mean spirited? Imagine coming online after your wedding day and seeing all these horrendous comments about your wedding outfit.

Knowing your family history is so important. You can know that psychosis or schizophrenia runs in the family and you decide to experiment weed. This is so sad.

I work with a lot of people who make big mistakes and have to find a way to live with the consequences. This is a really interesting piece

A mistake by adult is a human moment because nobody is perfect.
A mistake by child deserves punishment because the child should have known better.

I really like when Yoruba videos like this don’t have subtitles, because how do I effectively explain how she described his stomach 😭

You turned out fine but can’t resolve conflict without blowing up.
You turned out fine but any discomfort you run away.
You turned out fine but you’re scared of authority.
You turned out fine but resist healthy love.
You turned out fine but struggle to express yourself.

It’s a very Nigerian thing to not even consider the fact that children are also entitled to dignity. It’s why we end up with the kind of adults we have. A shame really

A paying customer at an upscale restaurant in Victoria Island was refused access to the accessible restroom because she didn’t “look” disabled.
She then had to disclose that she uses a stoma bag and has fibroids causing severe bleeding. She needed the privacy and space to change and clean herself properly. Even after that explanation, the manager refused, insisting that the disabled toilet was reserved exclusively for “the chairman”.
I’ve sent the establishment a strongly worded complaint, requesting a response within seven days and reserving my client’s right to refer the matter to the Lagos State Office for Disability Affairs (LASODA).
Disability awareness here is painfully poor. Not every disability is visible, and nobody should have to disclose intimate medical details only to be denied access anyway. It is cruel and mean-spirited to withhold something as basic as an accessible toilet from someone who needs it.
Restaurants, bars and hotels need to understand that accessible restrooms are there for people who need them. Refusing a customer access because the disabled toilet is reserved for “the chairman”, even after they’ve explained their medical need, is unacceptable.
Disabilities aren’t always visible. Not every disabled person uses a wheelchair or has a missing limb. Some people use stoma bags. Others live with conditions such as fibroids, which can cause severe bleeding and be disabling. They may need the space, privacy and facilities to change and clean themselves. You cannot assess someone’s needs simply by looking at them.
Section 26(1) of the Lagos State Special People’s Law provides that a person living with disability “shall not be discriminated against on the ground of his or her disability”. Section 29(1) also protects access to public buildings and places, with the necessary facilities. (aiddn.org)
If you experience this, document the incident and lodge a complaint with the Lagos State Office for Disability Affairs (LASODA): [email protected]. Accessible toilets should never become private conveniences for management at the expense of those who need them. (officiallasoda.com, officiallasoda.com)

I really hope women understand that you can be a wonderful person with a few embarrassing stories attached to your name. Please don’t spend your entire adulthood trying to prove you were never young, confused, impulsive or human.
