Protein deficiency should be an outlawed term. Did Nigerians not tell you that a good meal excludes eggs and fish? And electricity will only make, you guessed right, idle brains even, what, idler.

When the water we drink fills us up so well, even eggs would beg to be left out of the mix. Did I hear you ask for cold water? Where do you think you are—Iceland? If anything, you should be grateful we don’t import that. Yes, water.

Our coconut heads won’t rest. That’s why we want to produce and export iceblocks to the rest of the world. We know we’ll finally get respect from them if we do that.

Apart from using 24/7 to produce more ice block what are going to do with it?

Traveling soon with a Nigerian passport? Easy. Who needs a visa when our grand dreams of stable electricity will remain just that—a dream? Stay home and enjoy the darkness.

Is it just me, or are mosquitoes in hiding these days? Guess they’ve heard we might start using them for protein. Can’t blame them. Nigerians know how to recognise a good thing.

Look around: tech entrepreneurs are living the good life. Who cares if regular protein is becoming a luxury?

Success. Miracle. Hope. Nigerians can’t suffer; our names won’t even permit us to.

Adura. Pamilerin. Gozie. There’s power in the tongue; we believe it, so our names carry it.

Adura’s hunger? Just a minor discomfort on the path to a promising future filled with politicking for goodwill from the corridors of power.

Pamilerin and Gozie? Those ones can sort themselves out with alternative power sources.

Nigerians? Suffer? Why? We were made just for this. Anything else is a luxury we cannot even afford.

Medical tests are an important part of your wedding preparations.

Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and preparing for it goes beyond emotional and financial readiness. Ensuring that both partners are in good health is essential for a strong and happy union.

Medical tests help identify potential health issues that could impact your marriage and family life. Here are some crucial medical tests to consider before you say “I do”:

1. HIV Test

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) affects the immune system and can be transmitted through unprotected sexual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to child during birth or breastfeeding. An HIV test helps identify whether you or your partner are HIV-positive. Early detection allows for better management of the virus, and knowing your status ensures both partners can take preventive measures.

2. Hepatitis B Test

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver and can be transmitted through bodily fluids, such as blood, semen, and vaginal fluids. It is essential to know your status before marriage, especially because Hepatitis B can be transmitted through sexual contact or from mother to child during childbirth. Getting tested ensures that you can take necessary precautions to protect each other.

3. Hepatitis C Test

Hepatitis C is another viral infection that affects the liver. Unlike Hepatitis B, it is less commonly spread through sexual contact but can be transmitted through blood, such as sharing needles or receiving unscreened blood transfusions. Testing for Hepatitis C helps identify early signs of liver damage and allows for better management if necessary.

4. Other Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

Apart from HIV and Hepatitis B and C, there are other STIs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, and herpes, that can be transmitted during sexual activity. Testing for these infections ensures both partners are free of any infections that could affect their health or fertility.

5. Rhesus Status

Rhesus (Rh) status is important for couples planning to have children. If a woman is Rh-negative and her partner is Rh-positive, there could be complications during pregnancy, including the risk of Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN), which can be serious for the baby. Knowing both partners’ Rh status helps you take preventive measures to ensure a healthy pregnancy.

6. Fertility Profile

A fertility test is essential for couples planning to start a family. This test assesses the reproductive health of both partners and can help identify any underlying fertility issues that may require attention. It typically includes hormone level testing, sperm count testing for men, and ovarian reserve testing for women. Identifying potential fertility issues early allows couples to explore options like assisted reproductive technologies if necessary.

7. Genotype Compatibility

Genotype compatibility is a critical test, especially in regions where genetic disorders like sickle cell anemia are prevalent. Knowing your genotype helps determine whether you are at risk of passing on inherited diseases to your children.

8. Common Chronic Medical Conditions

It’s also important to check for any underlying chronic medical conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, or heart disease, which can affect the overall health of both partners. Early detection of these conditions helps with proper management and lifestyle adjustments.

Being aware of your health status ensures you and your partner can live a healthier life together and better manage any medical needs that might arise.
