I am filled with appreciation, happiness and hopefulness to announce that today, after six years of ambassadorial achievements with @world_midwives, in this 2020 Year of the Midwife and Nurse, I am bidding the honorary role farewell. toyinsaraki.org/international-… Together with the @world_midwives, I have travelled far and wide proudly bearing the responsibility of being the first Global Goodwill Ambassador.

I came across a message from the very first @wellbeingafrica beneficiary today, and I must share her story. We need stories of hope, especially now.

Fayokemi had been injured from neck down in a car accident when I found her in intensive care at U of Ilorin teaching hospital -she was 10 weeks pregnant.

I raised $50K to fly her to India for spinal repair, and I spent every last kobo I had spare, so I could not go with them, but her mother and husband accompanied her. The operation was so tricky and fragile to repair her spine while pregnant.

Mr Bemigho Reno Omokri.

While I've never personally made your acquaintance, I am surprised to wake up this fine morning, to this mis-juxtaposition from you, as an apparent pastor of the @renoomokri Mind of Christ Christian Center of California and Abuja...

Indeed Mr Omokri, your misadventure speaks more to the state of your mind and mischief, that you would juxtapose my picture approaching an airport receiving line with that of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on a walkabout at the races...

#WHWWeek - in the practice of effective #breastfeeding , colostrum acts as immune therapy to reduce necrotising enterocolitis, a major cause of neonatal morbidity. We must view human milk as a medicine and vital resource for new-borns. Speaking at the #Medela Symposium, I believe that, when it comes to ensuring that human milk is used effectively immediately after birth, co-investment from communities is necessary and the value of human capital is paramount. #WHWWeek
