adore...I totally syshptaime with your friend. It's a mixed bag for sure. And sometimes people just luck out no matter where they go or who is in charge of thier care.I know someone who opted to have her baby privately in a hospital in North west London - I think it may have been the Wellington - I forget now - anyway despite the money she paid - 2 or 3 thousand pounds she was left largely to her own devices during labour, no proper CTG monitoring was done and her Mom-in-law (who luckily was with her) practically managed her entire labour and delivery!Thank goodness mom and baby were ok but my what a horrifc experience just 'cos she was keen to "have her baby abroad"...On the other hand with research, a smidgen of intelligence (and Gods grace of course) many have had their babies in naija hospitals without any issues. Certainly I did not have any problems - my ob/gyn was very experienced and a kind, lovely person, the nurses/midwives were professional and knew their jobs. One good thing here in the UK is that to some extent there is accountability- so if it all goes pear shaped and the family wants answers - they WILL get answers. The concept of self-auditing is a sound one as organisations (especially the much maligned NHS) are forced to look at their mistakes, go back to the drawing board and improve. Unfortunately I have yet to see that happpen in naija. Over there it is business as usual. It is the way it is.

no we don't have to keep this old fashioned igealbs. there are some traditions we need to revisit. I loathed them I was younger and the moment I could, I stopped them using them. I have actually conducted interviews with some of the women Jeremy is referring to here in Abuja. It is interesting to hear what they have to say: 'but what can we do?', 'nay your back dey suffer', 'you know my friend got knocked over the other day', 'few men dey do this job, but they get long brooms'. Now it is the last statement that caught my interest. Lets stop and ponder why the few men are giving the longer brooms to do the same job? why are the women not giving the same? I don't care if the long handled brooms take longer. It is preferebly to women breaking their backs at work and not to talk of the other back breaking activity they have to engage in after work. A
