Babies Are Not Dirty, Bathing Them Daily Could Damage Their Skin – Toke Makinwa Claims (Video)

Nollywood actress and media personality Toke Makinwa has urged mothers of newborns to avoid bathing their babies every day.

According to her, bathing babies every day could potentially damage their skin.

Speaking in a video broadcast on her social media page, the actress, who recently welcomed her first child at 40, argued that babies are naturally clean, stressing that the womb they came from is not dirty.

She revealed that she doesn’t bathe her child every day and advised her fellow nursing mothers to wipe their babies instead of bathing them daily.

“I really think bathing babies actually causes problems. Babies are not dirty. They have been inside the womb for nine months. Inside the womb is not dirty.

“I don’t bathe my baby every day because it is not necessary. Babies are not on the floor; they are not dirty or sweaty. So, why are you excessively putting water on their skin? Their skin is fragile. You can wipe them instead of bathing them every day. This helped me, so I’m just putting it out there,” she expressed.

Toke Makinwa’s advice to nursing mothers has received a mixed reception online, with many questioning her experience in motherhood and her qualifications in nursing.

Heavy Security At Sokoto Prison Over Nnamdi Kanu’s Arrival

Security measures have been significantly reinforced at the Sokoto Custodial Centre following the transfer of Nnamdi Kanu, the convicted leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, to the facility.

Kanu was on Thursday sentenced to life imprisonment by the Federal High Court in Abuja after being convicted on terrorism and related charges.

In his ruling, Justice James Omotosho ordered that Kanu be taken to a “protective prison,” noting that the Kuje Custodial Centre in Abuja was unsuitable due to past prison breaks and associated security risks.

On Friday, Kanu’s lawyer, Alloy Ejimakor, alleged that his client had been moved to Sokoto.

Speaking with Saturday Punch in Abuja, he said the transfer placed Kanu far from his legal team, family, and supporters, and urged Ndigbo to remain calm.

Although officials of the Sokoto Custodial Centre declined to confirm his arrival, Saturday Punch observed unusual security activity around the facility.

Armed personnel were stationed at strategic points within and outside the prison, while a truckload of soldiers drove into the premises—an uncommon development, according to nearby residents.

One resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “We saw soldiers entering in trucks this evening. The security here has never been this tight.”

Why Life Imprisonment Sentence Is Not The End Of Nnamdi Kanu – Shehu Sani

Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Senator, has reacted to the life imprisonment verdict issued against Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

In a post on his verified X handle on Friday, Sani said that life imprisonment is a phase and not the end.

Recall that the Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice James Omotosho, convicted Kanu on Thursday on seven counts of terrorism.

The judge thereafter sentenced him to life imprisonment on five counts, 20 years on one count, and five years on another, with all sentences to run concurrently.

Reacting, the former lawmaker said, “Sentencing a man to life imprisonment is not the end of his life. Some of us have been through life imprisonment and we survived it.

“I served my own life imprisonment in Aba Prisons, Abia State, after spending a year in Kiri Kiri and Port Harcourt prisons. The inmates and warders treated me well, except for some few tough guys.

“There is still room for dialogue to resolve the issue in the interest of peace. Life imprisonment is a phase and not the end.”

Nnamdi Kanu Has Been Secretly Transferred To Sokoto Prison – Sowore Reveals

Nigerian human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has alleged that Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu has been moved to a correctional facility in Sokoto State.

626Blaze reported that Kanu, who has been in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS since 2021, was on Thursday sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty of terrorism-related charges.

In a statement on his Facebook page, Sowore alleged that the IPOB leader was secretly moved from the DSS custody to Sokoto prison.

He wrote, “The Tinubu Regime Has Secretly Transferred Nnamdi Kanu to Sokoto Prison

“Yes, they have already planned it. Their intention since yesterday was to move Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to a notorious prison based in the northern parts, where his safety cannot be guaranteed. I can confirm now that he’s already in Sokoto prison.

“They openly said he would “become a king” if taken to Kuje correctional center in Abuja, because according to them, “Igbo people” and his supporters would turn Kuje into a place of pilgrimage.


“That is why they are desperate to keep him far away, isolated, and vulnerable.
“It is also why they activated their cronies to start selling the illusion of “renewed hope” for MNK, a psychological tactic to keep the public calm while they execute their darkest agenda. Their plan is simple it is to keep your hopes alive just long enough for him to die in custody.

“They have no intention of releasing him, not even for political calculations or electoral convenience.

“I have said it before without fear, MNK’s greatest enemies are the politicians from his own region. They fear his influence, they fear his connection to the people, and they want him silenced permanently. This is why they fought tooth and nail to frustrate our #FreeNnamdiKanuNOW protest”.

Rising Insecurity: The Blood Of Nigerians Being Shed Is On Your Head — Actor Mr Macaroni Slams Tinubu

Debo Adebayo, the Nigerian social activist and comedian, who is popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has criticised President Bola Tinubu over the increasing incidents of terrorism and mass kidnappings across Nigeria.

Macaroni, in a post on his X handle on Friday, faulted the President’s handling of security, declaring that the continued kidnap of schoolchildren was proof of “incompetence”.

He wrote: “President Tinubu, you said you had all the answers to end Terrorism!! You said any President who could not protect the people is incompetent!

“Any school child that has been abducted is a result of your incompetence!! The blood of Nigerians being shed as an act of terrorism is on your head!!!.”

 

His comments followed the latest attack in Niger State, where terrorists abducted students and staff of St. Mary’s School, a Catholic institution in the Papiri community of Agwara Local Government Area.

The exact number of victims has yet to be confirmed as the school was still compiling its records at press time.

The Kotangora Catholic Diocese in Niger state has issued a statement confirming the incident.

Efforts to reach the Niger State Police Command were unsuccessful, as the spokesperson, SP Wasiu Abiodun, did not take his calls.

The incident comes just days after terrorists stormed a government school in Kebbi State, kidnapping at least 25 students.
