1). Okele (e.g. Iyan, fufu, eba) gives you energy ---ummm Mother, other than the fact that Iyan makes me want to seek out a bed and take a snooze, it gives you that extra abdomen that most Nigerian women sport on their lower abdomen.
2). When you have a burn, put Vaseline ----ok please don't be like that mother who misunderstood the package labeling and put Vaseline on her 3-years-old son's severely scalded back from hot water. The first thing you should do in case of burn is turn on the cold water to get rid of the heat. Vaseline keeps the heat in; it should only be used for minor, and I mean MINOR, burns; if it looks nasty, chances are it's not minor.
3). Tampons can dis-virgin a girl -----ummmm, no comment
4). Birth Control Pills will render a young lady infertile -----I have never heard of ONE study that shows BCP cause fertility problems. It simply pauses your ability to get pregnant; whenever you are ready to get pregnant, all you simply need to do is get off the pills. Granted it could take some women up to a year after discontinuing the Pills before they can conceive, but it does not in any way remove one's ability to conceive. If a woman is experiencing some fertility issues after using the pill, I'd say go make an appointment with your OB/GYN ASAP cuz it probably ain't the darn pills.
5). Using Tampons can cause infertility ----again, same comment on #4 applies here. Only way use of tampons that may cause infertility is "MISuse" of Tampons. Letting it stay inside for 8 hours or more is wrong. Not changing frequently enough could allow the invasion of bacteria into your fertility organs and of course could lead to infertility. But no Mom, a proper use of tampons does not cause infertility. If anything it makes life easy with that big part of our ability to conceive that we are not allowed to mention in mixed company.
6). If you sleep enough, you will not get sick -----okay this one I'll give to you Mother, it's not totally false. It doesn't necessary mean you will not get sick, but it does contribute to good health. I make sure I get my beauty sleep so I can be as strong and healthy as my Mother and 95 year old Grand-mother :)
