🎀 LADIES, KNOW YOUR BREASTS. IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE.

Your breasts naturally change throughout your life. Menstrual cycles, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes and hormonal changes can all affect them.

But there is one important habit every woman should develop:

PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS NORMAL FOR YOU. ❤️

🚨 Don’t ignore a new or unusual change such as:

• A new lump or thickening in the breast or armpit
• A change in the size or shape of one breast
• Ni**le pulling inward when this is new for you
• Dimpling, puckering or pulling of the breast skin
• Skin that becomes thickened or looks like an orange peel
• Unusual redness or swelling
• Ni**le discharge, especially bloody discharge
• A sore, wound or ulcer around the ni**le that doesn’t heal
• Swelling or a lump around the armpit or collarbone

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: Having one of these symptoms does NOT automatically mean you have breast cancer. There are many non-cancerous causes of breast changes.

But a new or unusual change should not be ignored.

Don’t wait until a lump becomes painful. Don’t wait until the breast changes significantly. And please don’t rely on home remedies or advice from social media to treat a suspicious breast change.

Get checked by a qualified healthcare professional.

Early detection and appropriate treatment can save lives. 🎀

Ladies, your breasts deserve attention too.

Know your normal. Notice the changes. Speak up. Get checked.

One of the many sacrifices we made back then to keep it going
We read during the day, evenings and at night

We sat outside at night under the the cold nights just so we don’t sleep off on our beds
We did all we could

We did a lot for the sake of this degree and thank God we made it through

Indeed nothing good comes easy
And we went out of our way to achieve this degree
Thank you Jesus

Not drinking enough water can lead to dehydration, especially when it happens regularly.

Some things you may notice include:
• 💧 Dark yellow urine and urinating less often
• 🤕 Headaches
• 😴 Tiredness and weakness
• 🥴 Dizziness or light-headedness
• 👄 Dry mouth and dry lips
• 🚽 Constipation
• 🧠 Poor concentration or feeling mentally foggy
• 💓 Faster heartbeat, especially with more significant dehydration
• 🏃🏽‍♀️ Reduced physical performance, particularly in hot weather or during exercise

If dehydration becomes severe, it can cause confusion, fainting, very little or no urine, and serious problems with blood pressure and kidney function and requires urgent medical attention.

A simple habit is to drink regularly throughout the day rather than waiting until you’re extremely thirsty. Your fluid needs vary with weather, activity, diet, pregnancy, illness, and other factors.

I recommend Atleast 6 sachets of water daily on a healthy person

This pictures reminds me of how tough, resilience, hardworking and business minded i am
I ventured into tote bag making in my year two days after asking and thinking of what I can do to make money and support myself
I would take this to class every day and get Atleast one or two buyers
Some days none but we kept pushing

This was the first business I ventured into as a student nurse before going into making scrubs and nursing white

I took this Nursing entrepreneurship personal despite busy schedules and rigorous academic journey

It’s already a month and the feeling is still unreal
Still very grateful to God and don’t know how to express my gratitude to God

A Caesarean Section Is NOT a Failure. Please, Let’s Stop Making Childbirth a Competition.

During my Midwifery clinical training as at last year, I witnessed something that stayed with me.

A woman was in severe labour. She was clearly exhausted and in distress, and after assessment, the doctor explained to her husband that the baby’s head was not able to pass safely through the mother’s pelvis — a condition that can be described as cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD).

The recommendation was Caesarean delivery.

But the husband’s response shocked me.

He insisted that his wife must deliver vaginally, saying that she was a “lazy woman,” that other women push and deliver their babies, and that Caesarean delivery was not acceptable.

But childbirth is not a competition.

A woman is not lazy because she needs a Caesarean section.

A woman is not stronger because she delivered vaginally.

And a woman who delivered by Caesarean section is not less of a mother.

Vaginal delivery is beautiful. Caesarean delivery is also a valid form of childbirth.

When vaginal delivery is safe and medically appropriate, it is absolutely fine.

But when complications arise and vaginal delivery becomes unsafe or impossible, a Caesarean section can save the life of the mother, the baby, or both.

Some conditions that may require or strongly indicate Caesarean delivery include certain cases of:

• Cephalopelvic disproportion
• Fetal distress
• Placenta previa
• Certain abnormal fetal positions or presentations
• Obstructed labour
• Previous uterine surgery in some circumstances
• Severe maternal or fetal complications

The decision should be based on proper medical assessment, not shame, pressure, myths or cultural expectations.

To the men: PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR WIVES.

Your wife is the one carrying the pregnancy.

She is the one going through labour.

She is the one experiencing the pain and physical changes.

When doctors explain that a particular method of delivery is safer, listen.

Ask questions.

Seek clarification.

Get a second medical opinion if you are unsure.

But please don’t pressure a woman to risk her life just to prove that she is “strong” or “not lazy.”

Your wife does not need you to be the person forcing her to endure more pain. She needs you to be her advocate and support system.

And to every woman reading this:

How you deliver your baby does not determine how good a mother you will be.

Vaginal birth is not a trophy.

Caesarean birth is not a punishment.

The ultimate goal is a healthy mother and a healthy baby. ❤️

One of my favorite lecturers once said that the stress and sacrifices is nothing compared to the victory ahead and that once we succeed, we will forget all the inconvenience we went through to get there

It’s barely one month since I graduated and all I can say is success is sweet
Do all you can to achieve it cause it’s worth it

👁️ PLEASE, DON’T EXPERIMENT WITH YOUR EYES!

For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with itchy and sometimes red eyes.

Whenever my eyes itch, I have this habit of rubbing them with my hands. And almost automatically, the more I rub, the redder and more irritated my eyes become. 😩

But that wasn’t even the biggest issue.

I started using eye drops from when I was a child. There was a particular eye drop I became so used to—chloramphenicol—that whenever it finished, I could literally go and get another one myself.

I had been using it for years without really asking myself:

“Do I actually still need this eye drop?”

Eventually, I had to seek proper medical attention from an eye-care professional/optometrist.

And that experience taught me something I really want people to understand:

🚨 PLEASE DON’T SELF-MEDICATE YOUR EYES.

If your eyes are constantly red, itchy, painful, watery or irritated, don’t just assume it’s something that requires the same eye drop or medication you’ve always used.

And please don’t put herbal mixtures, salt, breast milk, urine, lemon, toothpaste, chemicals or other substances into your eyes because someone told you they work.

Even using an eye drop that helped you in the past doesn’t mean it’s the right treatment for what you’re experiencing now.

Chloramphenicol, for example, is an antibiotic. It is used for certain bacterial eye infections—not every case of red or itchy eyes. Repeatedly using antibiotics without proper assessment can be inappropriate and may delay the correct treatment.

Sometimes itchy or red eyes may be related to allergies, dry eyes, irritation, infection or other eye conditions, and each may require a different approach.

So please, take your eyes seriously. 👁️❤️

Don’t wait until the problem becomes severe before seeing an eye-care professional.

And please, stop rubbing your eyes as much as possible. I know it’s difficult when they itch—I have been there—but rubbing can make irritation and redness worse.

Your eyes are precious.
Don’t turn them into a laboratory for home remedies. 😂❤️

If you have severe eye pain, sudden loss/change of vision, significant sensitivity to light, an eye injury, chemical exposure, or worsening symptoms, seek urgent medical attention.

I went through my gallery today looking for a fine picture of myself to post…

GUESS WHAT? 😭😂

I found:
📸 Me and my classmates
📸 Me and my friends
📸 Me and somebody I barely remember
📸 Me in somebody else’s picture
📸 Me photobombing somebody’s picture 😂

But a SOLO picture of me? 🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏽‍♀️

Apparently, whenever I see a camera, my brain goes:
“Quick! Find somebody to snap with!” 😭😂

Na me Dey middle and this picture was taken in our first day of clinical experience in year 2

What is actually the connection between me and camera? Because clearly, we are not in a serious relationship. 😂

Please tell me I’m not the only one. 😭😂
Who else has plenty pictures WITH people but hardly any picture of themselves
