Yesterday was one of the scariest nights I've had in a long time.

I cooked egusi soup the same way I always do. I bought already-ground egusi, crayfish, ogiri, okpei, iru, and the other ingredients I normally use. Everything looked fine, so I went ahead and cooked it. Since I was too tired to make eba, I bought fufu instead.

I ate around 7:00 p.m. By 9:00 p.m., everything changed.

My stomach started making strange noises, then my body began to shake. Before I knew it, I was vomiting and having severe diarrhea. I lost count of how many times I ran to the toilet, but it was close to 10 times. It got so bad that my a**s started bleeding. I finally managed to sleep around 1:30 a.m., only to wake up again because I needed the toilet.

I was honestly terrified. Different thoughts kept running through my mind. I wondered if I had eaten something poisonous. I questioned the fufu because I've heard people make all kinds of claims about how some are processed. Then I started wondering if it was the ground egusi or maybe another ingredient. The truth is, I still don't know what caused it.

This is the first time in my life I've experienced something like this after eating food I cooked myself. It made me realize that sometimes you can do everything the way you normally do, yet something still goes wrong.

I'm feeling much better now, but last night was a terrible experience that I don't wish on anyone. I just felt like sharing what happened to me.

Has anyone ever experienced something similar?

🚨 WHY ARE SO MANY NIGERIANS DYING FROM HIGH BP, DIABETES, KIDNEY & LIVER DISEASE?

These illnesses don't usually start overnight. They build up quietly, and many people don't know they have them until it's too late.

⚠️ Common habits putting us at risk:

❌ Too much salt and seasoning cubes. ❌ Too many soft drinks and sugary foods. ❌ Excess alcohol and smoking. ❌ Little or no exercise. ❌ Being overweight. ❌ Self-medication and excessive use of painkillers or unverified herbal mixtures. ❌ Ignoring stress and poor sleep.

✅ Protect yourself:

✔ Eat less salt and sugar. ✔ Eat more fruits and vegetables. ✔ Exercise regularly. ✔ Drink enough water. ✔ Avoid smoking and limit alcohol. ✔ Take medicines only as prescribed.

🩺 WHY YOU SHOULD DO A HEALTH CHECK-UP

High blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, and even some liver diseases can have no warning signs.

A simple check of your: • Blood Pressure • Blood Sugar • Kidney Function • Cholesterol

can detect problems early and save your life.

Don't wait until you collapse before going to the hospital. Prevention is always better—and cheaper—than treatment.

Ladies, don't keep quiet when it comes to your health. ❤️
I've been seeing posts about a certain sanitary pad allegedly causing women's periods to shorten, yet somehow nobody wants to mention the name because of unrelated drama.
Honestly, that's the sad part.
If a product is affecting your body negatively, speak up. Your health should always come before fear, trends, or loyalty.

On a lighter note, let me share something that has genuinely worked for me.
I've been using Kedi 7 Layers Sanitary Pad for a few years now, and I honestly have no complaints. It's not heavily scented, it's comfortable, and it gives me peace of mind during my period.
One thing I've personally noticed is that my flow is usually complete within 3–5 days, and I've experienced fewer cramps since I started using it. Of course, everyone's body is different, but this has been my experience.

Happy new month besties 🥰🥰

The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that that situation is over, you cannot move forward. Keep that in mind😌

Happy blessed Sunday people of God🥳🥳
