"ẹ ku ewu ọmọ" is the Yoruba greeting for surviving the literal & figurative hazard of pregnancy & childbirth.
you're the one who knows what your eyes saw, say it! Your lived experience isn't up for debate, esp with people determined to minimize your suffering. Pay them dust

I really hope women never stop talking about their health experiences, from reproductive health and pregnancy to fibroids and ovarian cysts etc. There’s still so much we don’t know, and too many women are left navigating these experiences in silence and confusion.
At some point when I was not looking, the route to trad publishing started sounding increasingly similar to an unhealthy marriage
Every market day, someone is preaching suuru at you, and the promise that it’ll all be worth it 🤕

quite a weird hill to die on. A woman says pregnancy ‘felt like a death sentence’ to her and people are arguing that it’s not the same as a death sentence.
did you take any english/literature courses in school? were you not taught figures of speech or literary devices?

Male doctors on this app will tweet irresponsible things about women’s health under the guise of “education.”
Banger boys and idiots will piggyback off said tweets, using it as a launching pad for misogyny and misinformation.
Such irresponsible and unethical behavior.

See quoted tweet to continue.
Yes, a lot of women have uncomplicated pregnancy and childbirth, in recent times due to medical advances, but do NOT ever downplay the violence that pregnancy is to our bodies
End
PS: my heart has never recovered from it
Every time +234 Xwitter argues with a woman’s lived experience of pregnancy, I will QT this thread
- An MRCOG who has a cardiologist appointment in 6 weeks to manage the effects from pregnancy, now 13 years later
As Una no dey learn!
Here’s a random list of the things my body (which had previously been through 3 miscarriages and 2 live births) threw at me during my last pregnancy
As much as I can remember 12 years later…
A thread 🧵 👇🏾

EL-SAYED: RFK JR. was in town this week. He said that the 500 million Arabs in the world had never contributed anything to science. But to be fair, he is an expert on people who never contributed anything to science.
He didn't bother to show up when 8000 people were infected by the shit lettuce. But he wants to come here and lecture you about potentially electing and arab-american to the U.S. Senate
My guy has zero doctorates. I have two of them
Another tweet in as many days referring to Nigerian Pidgin English in derogatory terms
1st, clearly you are not the target audience
2nd, how’s it our fault that your culture was not dynamic enough to create something new and beautiful from a language that was imposed on you? 🤨
Oh, I forgot.
The storyline of that 45y/o (at least) Nigerian man who was single and dating his friends much younger daughter was sus baje
🧐
Books I read in 2026🧵
Goal: 52 books (logic is one book a week should be doable on the carousel-that-never-stops aka my life)
Theme: clean YA romance with focus on Muslim and racialised authors/ protagonists
Feel free to send me your recs
Let’s go! 👇🏾
31. While You Were Dreaming- Alisha Rai
Sweet YA romance with immigrant/ undocumented family representation
It was okay, but maybe I am too cynical and world-weary for this YA romance I am so determined to write bcos I couldn’t suspend disbelief enough to accept the storyline😏
Calling my Ilorin peeps!
Now is your chance to flaunt your culture o. 🤭
If you are able and willing to describe the traditions of a Ilorin (Muslim) wedding, please indicate below 👇🏾 (or in my DMs)
Thank you for supporting my ministry
@zumamalicious @enisullyman you’re up!!!
From age 14 till he’s become responsible for himself, I get the son only one pair of shoes at a time
Because he outgrew them like kilode and he was wearing size 45 as a teenager so we had to buy from American brands or custom made from Naija
Wo! Parenting na scam 🤣
This sounds great, as long as the passive “raising men” here is not laid at the feet of women
Hold men accountable for their actions - that’s the only root
Until then, women should arm themselves with whatever they need to navigate life, including their own money
