I’m reating a 6 year old girl with full blown signs and symptoms of STIs.I kept pushing until mother told me that few weeks ago,she came back very early from work and discovered that when her female house-help picks her from school, she takes her somewhere before coming home
When she scolded her, she immediately ran away back to the village.She said she had been noticing unusual behavior like the child touching herself when she is alone but she just ignored it. Everything made sense when she started seeing discharge stains on her panties-A 6 year old
Please watch your children closely. Househelps are ruining children for their parents. Even if you have a tight work schedule, the few hours you spend at home is very important. Don’t just sleep and snore. If your child puts up unusual behavior, DO NOT IGNORE.
Your toddler putting her hand inside her vagina unprovoked should bother you. Your toddler rubbing his penis persistently should bother you. Let your children know that they can tell mummy and Daddy EVERYTHING. No secrets with Mom and Dad.
Install a CCTV Camera if you can afford.
Some predators will tell your children that if they tell Mummy, they will kill them and kill Mummy & Daddy. Let them know that YOU ARE IN CHARGE and nobody can kill Mummy. My heart is heavy. Please Help your children 😪🙏🙏

There is a tradition in Akwa Ibom and Cross River State called “Ekpo Nka Owo.” People in this states believe that if you cheat on your husband, during childbirth, the lanour will be prolonged and the baby and mother will be killed by the deity called Ekpo Nka Owo
Ekpo Nka Owo literarily means Deity of Adultery. Women suspected to be in this situation are usually asked to mention the names of all the men they slept with and confess to their husband a free which a fetish rite is carried out to appease the deity before the woman can deliver
The people believe so strongly in this tradition and usually those women are prohibited from going to the hospital.
Imagine a group of secondary school students observing morning devotion. They are well spruced up, in form and are completely harmless. This is how the cells in your body are. They will likely remain in this shipshape state in the absence of any
external insult.
Now imagine a mad cow suddenly runs towards the direction of those students. What do you expect to see? The reaction will be panic, anxiety, commotion. The students will take to their heels, they will bump against each other. Some will try to run into the
classrooms,destroying the furniture; some into the school farm, destroying the crops. There will be a frank stampede. Some students may even lose their life in the process. Note that these students were initially harmless before the arrival of the "initiator"
Told my friend in Finland that sometimes, I slap my patient arms for veins to become visible to site IV access or obtain blood sample. She started sobbing profusely and said, “How can you be slapping a human that is already sick when you can just use a VEIN FINDER?’
Initially, I felt she was mad for her to cry but later I realized I was the mad one for not crying too. My country has made the abnormal seem normal for me. My country has ruined me.
After that, she sent me a picture of this vein finder. With this device you can never slap a patent’ s arm for veins. You can never pierce a patient more than once looking for vein to put cannula no matter how fat he is because it brings all the Veins right before your face.
THE TEARS AND WOES OF THE HOUSE OFFICER, THE MOST ABUSED AND MALTREATED DOCTOR IN NIGERIA
Medical education in Nigeria lasts for 6 years, after which the new Doctor has to do a compulsory one year program called internship or Housemanship in a teaching hospital or
Federal Medical Centre. This Doctor called a House Officer, practices with a temporary (provisional) license under the supervision of more senior Doctors which can be registrars, senior registrars or consultants. It is only at the end of this program that he can enroll in the
mandatory NYSC program.
A House Officer is the first port of call when a new patient reaches the hospital. He clerks the patient and presents same to his seniors who make a diagnosis and write out what the house officer should do for the patient.
This is Dr Okorie Ifeanyi Venatus,an intern Doctor in UPTH. He collapsed with his forehead to the ground after a 72 hour shift as the only House Officer in the unit.
He and other intern Doctors all over Nigeria have not been paid for 3 months now (Since December 2020).
A country which treats bandits and herdsmen better than her Doctors is headed for doom.
There is no one to speak for these young, helpless, Vulnerable Doctors called House Officers . Their umbrella body NARD, which they pay dues to, keeps telling stories after stories since January. No action. Imagine working for 3 months under harsh conditions but no pay.
