I have questions.
I stressed myself to get NIN from NIMC in 2015, it wasn’t until 2018 I got called for the permanent card.

Guess what. Card expires in 2020.
Sorry, you want me to go through that stress again?
It’s you people’s identity that will expire.
Now yesterday...
I spent half my day at the MTN store waiting time get a sim upgrade, having been busy the whole year.
Just when it got to me... we were told that NCC had stopped the process.

Now, we are hearing we have until 30th December to upgrade our sim with NIN or get blocked.
Block heads.
How is it that in a world were everyone is innovatively progressing, our country is taking huge steps backward.

Why not automate the NIN and SIM upgrade process (Self service!). Why bring people together in a pandemic, during the holidays with a threat hanging above their heads.

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👇🏽
