 All right, obstetric fistula is a hole between the birth canal and bladder or rectum caused by prolonged obstructed labor without access to timely high quality medical treatment. It leaves women and girls leaking urine feces or both and often leads to chronic medical problems, depression, social isolation and deepening poverty. 90% of pregnancies involving fistula end up in stillbirth. So this is international day to end obstetric fistula. This is a very, very important day. I don't know if you ever saw the movie Drive by Stephanie Linus. I think that's the only movie she's she's produced but it's one of the most impactful movies when it comes to what's it called stories telling our stories because again she took it from the angle of the girl child you know especially in the north where they are married off early because again sometimes when but that was vesicle vaginal fistula it wasn't obstetric fistula. So I don't know what the difference is but maybe Norma will help me out if you know the difference. Well I love that movie so much because it reminded a lot of people the hazards of early childhood pregnancy and all of that because most women because their pelvic's are not mature enough to hold the baby when they're trying to give birth a lot of complications happen that they now need to down do surgical correction and I remember that after that movie she was able to get a lot of medical doctors you know volunteer they flew them from outside of the country en masse to come perform surgeries on the young girls you know any woman that has carried pregnancy you'd understand that is not it's not an easy feat and it comes with different complication for different women. So I like to understand what the obstetric fistula is about but Norma hey that's you. Oh well I'm not a medical person else I mean I'll be able to do justice to that but basically whatever affects women I mean it's it's it's something to what paying attention to because women are their carriers they have the they are the ones who bear the brunt of both the pregnancy as well as delivery so whether it's obstetrics or vaginal already it's a it's a cause for concern and it's a beautiful day to pay attention to this fact that women do suffer obstetric fistula as well as vaginal fistula so whichever one it is it's important that women are paid attention to in this regard and that help is is is available I think there's also need for a lot of awareness to go out in form of training to help people to know that these things are possible there also support groups can come out of this situation because a lot of women are actually suffering and suffering in silence and it would be an opportunity to tell to let them know that there is help there's support you are not alone in what you're going through and you don't have to go through it by yourself there are people who can hold your hand and you know see you through the process so it's a good one and I hope that the right people are also paying attention and doing the need need for as well as we as individuals paying attention to the next person beside us just to know that they are okay through the process absolutely um all right so what did you find for us in the news loma all right so in in the spirit of what's in the news I did find um something interesting you know for those who may be planning to come to the UK for their study or to get a study visa or something the breaking news as we have it today is that the UK has banned Nigerian students and other countries from bringing family and this would take effect from January the January in 2024 so they have placed a law that would see that Nigerian students and other studying in the UK can no longer bring families as dependent except under specific uh circumstances and this is to um to bring immigration into um the which stands at about one million down between 2019 and 2023 there has been a massive massive uh exodus from Nigeria into the UK and people bringing in their families and the new rule now says that it will remove the permission for international students to switch out of the students routes into work routes before their studies have been completed to prevent the misuse of the visa system they want to be able to provide this for those who really need it and to crack down on unscrupulous education agents who continue to make use of inappropriate applications to sell immigration and not education so the emphasis is actually on education and quite a number of UK people who have come in as students who came in under the guise of a study visa now come in and then find avenue to get a job and some of them even completely abandoned the study program and this is becoming something that is worrisome because now the home secretary so a braver man had recently made statements or concerning the unexpected rise and the fact that the increase has made the government uh commitment to lower net migration to the UK so Nigeria alone you can imagine between 2019 Nigerians um had over 50 about 59,053 Nigerian students brought in about 60,923 relatives so I think the UK is now beginning to to crack down on that and say you know what we have to be able to make sure that we don't suffer in the process of bringing in ways we can bring in people that but we're going to limit it because now people are using that as an escape route and they don't they do not want that anymore so that's um that for a lot of people there's going to be a challenge because some people who genuinely are coming for study and who can have their family come over with them um that will be uh a challenge for them and I think is also an important uh a reminder of the fact that in Nigeria we need to get our education system on you know back on track and hopefully the new government as it comes in will probably have a program we're hoping that they'll have a program that will help the Nigerian education system to to to be at par with what the standard globally and um enable people to not have to let me say that this is not about education right it's not about the standard of education I think is more of the standard of living in Nigeria because why would I need to carry my family members because the complaint is that the number of students are less way way way way lesser than the number of their dependents that are coming with them because like you know I want to go and study I carry 500 people and follow me so wait wait now so I'm trying to tell you that it's not about the quality of the education that is the problem now you are free to go to you can go to school alone and come back alone but people are using school as an avenue to migrate out of the country so that's family families right so I mean it's not so if we are even speaking to our government we're asking and demanding that they give a better life you know here because if I have a better livelihood here and everything or a better standard of living I don't mind leaving my children behind if I want to go and get quality education no problem I'll go and then I'll come back and continue working so the reason people are taking all the uh what's it called the entire clan you know when they are going to some they don't really want to go to school but that is the only option yes it's an option so therefore they will decide to go to school if we improve the standard of living here in Nigeria right I have a I have a feeling that the migration issues will stop so it's not really about even improving our education that's why I was just trying to go there no what I meant yeah education is part of it a lot of people who are traveling they have education in mind they also have the standard of living is another aspect to it I just use the opportunity to draw attention to what we have discussed discussed time without number concerning the state of education in Nigeria so I'll just join attention to that of course the standard of living is also a huge part of it and remains to to to get to that point where it is globally accepted because even some of these people when they go to these countries to study they still believe that your standard of education does not measure up and then you still have to take several exams or whatever it is to be able to to to meet up with the standard there yeah so I just wanted to use that opportunity to draw attention to that well it's good to draw attention so my what's in the news do you have a story for us um some prophetess okay go ahead quickly okay I have prophetess is an equate who says if you share bills equally with your woman then be ready to share in submission I don't really know how I feel about this um there was a video of her I'm saying it but this is what we're now teaching people that since since since you want to share she can also share her submission and all of that I don't think that's the background that we were raised with but hey so what do you want to say now like I don't agree with it it's just what I found in the news so what do you not agree with that you can pay the bill or you can pay the bill which is what I don't think that the fact that they are sharing the bills means that you should share in the submission because every both partners are going to be submissive you know at at their capacity it's not a fight that oh because I'm contributing to the bills so therefore you should cook as a man I'm not saying that you shouldn't cook as the man like it's not I don't know it's very complicated yes it's not it's not fight that oh I'm contributing to the bill so therefore are you two you have to change the child that passing is now like a chore like you now dividing it you must do this one I don't I don't I don't agree with that okay I get you I get you so I am here to tell you without fear of contradiction if you are dating a woman who is always sharing her dance and twerk videos on her facebook slash snapchat instagram tiktok there are two things involved one she is marketing herself using her body two which is much more serious is that you are dating a I think fool or something who has nothing else to offer the world but her body when the head is empty the body keeps vibrating to find equilibrium I am not asking you to leave her stay around as you continue to look for a serious woman who can give you bright kids remember kids inherit brains of their mothers oh lord have mercy from you mostly from you mostly is personality your forehead and your nose at most wow this woman went but I kind of like kind of like you know what I will not say what I think I want it to be back let's go to break so that we can discuss the bottom because I think it's tight to what I'm saying then even this your story is tight so we will tie all of them together stay with us we'll be right back
