#EndSARS👇🏽

#EndSARS

- An ID: Any Govt, school or work ID. And contact cards of people you know
- Your Phone: Preferably a secondary or burner phone. Cos phones get missing. Avoid making unnecessary calls too.
- Power Bank
- CASH: In your pocket, your bag. So you’re never stranded!
EXTRAS👇🏽
#EndSARS

#EndSars

3) Do NOT take;
- Children
- Your contract lens

4) Be part of a group

5) Educate yourself about the protest
6) Make a plan with your group for various situations that may arise. Meeting points, time etc
7) Shine your eyes.
8) Help each other
9) Write down Emergency #s
#EndSARS

10) Tear gas?

- Don’t Panic. This worsens it
- Save yourself before others
- Move away from the gas cloud quickly
- Move to higher ground if possible.
Tear gas is heavier than air, so will fall
- Breathe slow
- Water can be used to flush the eyes. Blinking rapidly too
#EndSARS

- Another effective solution that has helped protesters is what's called a LAW solution, which is a mixture of 50 percent unflavored liquid antacid and 50 percent water. Mixed thoroughly and poured on affected skin. Not for the eyes.

- Do not use milk. Here’s why👇🏽
#EndSARS

- Milk is used by protesters as a first aid for tear gas. My reservations are: It’s not sustainable due to the cost, it can cause infections if it gets into the eye, it spoils and smells, many people have said it’s less effective.
- Blow your nose & spit. Don’t swallow.
#EndSARS

Change your clothes as fast as you can.
- Get a cold shower once you’re home.
A hot shower will make it sting more.

Tear gas sticks to moisture, like saliva, sweat, tears, and mucous membranes and causes an intense burning sensation.

You are a hero. Be safe. Speak up!

Why does Semen Leak out after intercourse?

1) The Law of gravity: Whatever goes up...😉

2) It’s fluid he ejaculated, not air or solids 😃

3) All it takes is agile sperm cells to swim up for fertilization. The fluid is just a medium.

So sis, bring your leg down🤗
You’re good.

A lot of women, especially those looking to conceive have been led to believe you need to prop your leg up a wall to let the semen ‘enter’ your womb.

Unless, you’re doing this for the fun of it... it hasn’t actually been shown to contribute to your fertility chances.

After ejaculation,
Some of the sperm will remain in the back of the vagina (the posterior fornix). An even smaller amount makes its way up through the cervix, into the uterus and down the fallopian tubes. Sperm (cell) travels quickly, so within minutes, it’s enroute fallopian.

It’s ok to teach your daughters to be chaste, teach your sons too.

‘Sexual purity’ is not for a particular gender.

“Obi, No go give woman belle o👂🏼”, is not sex education.

Who will Obi sleep with? If she says no?
Sex Ed, is balanced, lays out options and gives room for choice.

I acknowledge that many persons have different moral and religious codes.

If yours is sexual purity... please teach across gender. Boys growing up to think, the only sin/crime is “Do not impregnate”, is lopsided.

It doesn’t teach them consent, justice, respect & responsibility.

Don’t also forget that it is mostly your daughters they will meet if they are heterosexual.
How empowered are our daughters to refuse them? If they don’t fall to their sweet words, they may fall to their fists.

Teach them to respect girls and to seek consent. Teach girls same.

BENEFITS OF EARLY ANTENATAL CARE.

No matter how many babies you have had, you’re always a New mum with each pregnancy.

See-Finish doesn’t apply to pregnancy and ANC.
No two pregnancies are the same!

Late ANC Booking visit could be the death of Mom and Baby😰.
How?
Thread!👇🏽RT

A lot of persons don’t see the need to book early ANC or even book at all.
To some, it’s a waste of time or money or for old timers😉... “Been here, know the drill” (See finish).

See guys, the thing is...
No two pregnancies are the same from the same woman or different.

A woman could be fine in her first pregnancy and in a subsequent pregnancy may have contracted HIV, Hepatitis B or Syphilis.

Another woman in her 3rd of 4th pregnancy might have become hypertensive or Diabetic or Anaemic without knowing.

Miscarriage nko? Could be Rhesus issues.

Dear mums,
I know you want to SNAP BACK immediately after birth...

Biceps ain’t built in a week right?
The Uterus is a muscle too.
It will need time to contract and return to it’s former size.

Don’t let what others post pressure you.
Not all that Snap📸, really ‘snapped back’.

Don’t be roped into taking slimming teas and herbs in order to look like what you see on social media.

I’d advice you focus on eating right and feeding your baby adequately.

Some persons are graced with the genes to snap back faster. Some have to work for it.

However...

There are exercises and diet plans that can help you achieve the post Partum body of your dreams with time and healthily too.

These exercises most times start during the pregnancy period through lactation.

You can shed your baby weight without compromising your health.
Yes👇🏽

ABOUT CONVULSION:
When you put a spoon or any object in a child’s mouth, it can cause the tongue to fall back and block the airway- Suffocation.

It can dislodge a tooth, child inhales it - choking.

Oil in their mouth? can enter the lungs- Aspiration.

All UNNECESSARY and DEADLY

The truth is, convulsion alone cannot kill the child.
It’s mostly complications from it that can, most of these complications arise from well intended harmful first aid practices that our parents of old have been practicing.

BUT IT HAS BEEN WORKING?
No. They have just been lucky

For everyone who you mention, it worked for, I can mention 2 who luck ran out on.

The thing about seizures is that, they eventually stop on their own. So whether you intervene or not, it’d still stop.

The fear is brain injury from prolonged and frequent seizures.
So...

Did you know?

If a mother is Rh negative and the father is Rh positive, the baby has at least a 50% chance of being Rh positive.

And this can lead to miscarriage or Still birth!

It is preventable with a special immunization and many people don’t know!
THREAD!
#HappyFathersDay

Rhesus (Rh) is the + or - sign attached to your blood group (e.g: I am O+)

A baby's Rh status is determined from the mother and father, however, babies have a 50% chance of inheriting the Rhesus factor of their biological fathers.

This is why we advice women with Rhesus -ve

... blood groups to talk to their doctors before/during pregnancy, , especially if they have ever been pregnant before (regardless of the out come: miscarriage, still birth or neonatal death).

Once a Rhesus -ve woman is pregnant with a Rhesus +ve child, her antibodies become...
