I just came online now and honestly what I have been seeing here since yesterday is not encouraging, people now make content on health matters they have little or no knowing about.

Yesterday someone posted bitter leaf water as a remedy to some disease, the post was not only totally untrue but also misleading, I condemned it imminently.

Same yesterday someone made a post on Tranexamic Acid on post patum haemorrhage, that conversation was also not in line, as it lacks merit and medical justifications.

This morning I also saw a post about AA not marrying AS because of the love life of their future children. Things like this shouldn't be used for content or engagement purposes because people with little or no understanding of how this works will think what they read from you is the correct thing.

I'm happy someone came up to correct the AA, AS narrative, I went through the comments generated by the post and all i can say is that we have a lot of learning and unlearning to do here.
Thank you my sister @ibukunoladunni for coming up with a professional evidence based side of the story.

We need more people in the medical field who can stand out and speak up when post that contradicts medical knowledge is made here. This is life we are talking about and nobody should use it just for content.

Can anyone who is not a lawyer make content with Law or law related matters? Or is it because it's health and everybody now have a say.

I just came online now and honestly what I have been seeing here since yesterday is not encouraging,...

Chi Ekpunobi: We are in a digital age. Information is everywhere and access to knowledge is easier than ever. You don't need to be a lawyer to know your fundamental human rights, same way you don't need to be a doctor to be health literate.

The real problem is not WHO is talking about health, but HOW they are ta...
Deraa: Do what is right for you
Izuchukwu: I think to make a post on health, lekeelekee should set up a method of verification to determine if you are worthy to post something of that nature
Gbadebo Chiamaka Goodness: Thank you for speaking up. We will keep debunking while passing accurate information about health. Having a professional talk about their area is the best way to go. Up health, we moveeeee
Linzkits: ... I think there is a portion of the Bible that says... "Study to show thy self approved..." When choosing a niche... Understand that it's an area you are grounded in... Let's all be guided... This should not be taken personally its a call to go back to the drawing board.
Ivy's corner: My dear ignorant they say is what again
Comfort Yako Asala: In my opinion, health contents and posts call for high standards of verification rather than blanket gatekeeping.
With in-depth research, that is the only sustainable way forward in a digital ecosystem.
As a health professional, please call out uninformed posts so we can unlearn and relearn biko....
Idorenyin Etim: I think someone should have a medical LICENSE before they can boldly give medical advice. If u think you know native treatments that work, go for further training and obtain a license so that you can be able to defend your prescription if wahala arises
PRETTY NDAANU LOT: This is very important we all should be mindful of what we post online
Obafemi EMILOLA, FIMC, CMC®: I will only advise that we all create content we can hundred percent defend in case there are questions to be asked
You na well-done oo
