Thank you so much. 🙏
I sincerely wish this didn’t turn this sour on the timeline, especially among those who are supposed to be learned in the field.
I thought the battle was against the “banger boys” who have made a career out of ridiculing women and women’s reproductive health.
I would have expected our male doctors to stand with their female counterparts and help educate these young men on the subject matter. But to my surprise, being a trending banger themselves was more important than their career.
These are two major Nigerian newspapers, more than a decade apart, still describing pregnancy in the light of a death sentence.
This has lingered for so long!
In 2026, the Ondo State Government is still saying, “Pregnancy must not be a death sentence.” That alone tells you we are still struggling with the reality of pregnancy being a death sentence for many women.
**The struggle is real!**
After all I saw displayed on the timeline today, I sincerely hope a policy will come into place to ensure that part of the training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology focuses on understanding women and their mind.
There is no way you can effectively treat a woman as a man when you are so disconnected from her mind, her thought process and her very being.
I pray our nation, Nigeria keeps getting better and maternal and child mortality becomes a thing of the past.
I am so proud of the doctors who have held their ground defending the ethics of their profession.
Especially the women. They have attempted to silence them so many times but enough is enough.
I’ve never been more proud of them than I am today.
