You don’t have to spend days and weeks researching and trying to make a decision on the best baby products (car seat, buggy, baby monitor), or sleep schedules or baby routines. You’re not as freaked out about labour and delivery(God help me!) And most excitingly, there’s one already doing all these cute things! All David and I can think is – “Imagine life with two of them… So beautiful. Shout out to all the amazing Mums and Mums-to-be”.

Recall that the governor Nasir El-Rufai-led government conducted a competency test of school teachers in the state last month and as much as 21, 000 of them failed the primary-four questions set in the competency test.
