This episode reminds me so much of how my younger sister grew up with Sickle Cell Anaemia. She is in her Mid 20s now and she is handling it well. We are really grateful for what God done with her. Raising a sickle cell child is a lot for struggling families.
I thought I knew Segilola from some where 😮😮😅😅😅😅 It’s from TMC. Louise’s wife 🎉 Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought she’s a sickle cell warrior 😢. A BRAVE WARRIOR at that that. Kuddos to her and other warriors out there.
New here and about to watch, but I'd say this, as someone currently living with sickle cell and positive id get healed/cured, I say YAAAY to awareness! I share my life living with sickle cell in canada on my channel, so thanks for doing this too 🤗
This episode got me so emosh, reminded me of a childhood friend that died of a crisis... but also so much smile & laughter too in the episode also.....
I remember some episodes of TMC when I noticed some jaundice in Segilola and I was like 🤔🤔. As a Dr living with sickle cell, I wish I could share this episode everywhere-What Segilola said about the difference in the UK and Nigeria is so true. There’s a lot of stigma and negativity that literally translates into multiple crises like Segilola said especially with the ‘sickler’ term. I can’t wait for the part B. Sending plenty love to the Ogidans and plenty appreciation to the Suleimans for such a beautiful episode. God bless you both ❤
This was a beautiful episode. I teared up at some point. Having the right partner is key to overcoming challenges. Kudos to the Ogidans for being the best parents to their boys.
Very beautiful couple 🤎 her husband kinda looks like Etim Daniel. I really love this conversation cos it’s very dear to my heart. I’m happy they have a great outlook on life, and also the resources to live their best lives.
Ever since I stumbled on DPP, I've been glued 💯 and now this, I love it being a warrior myself ❤ Can relate with this first time shocker people get when they're aware of your sickle cell status. The "sickler" term is very restrictive (like she said words are powerful) hence why we advocate champion for the term "warriors" even if at all you want to categorize. At this time and age no adult should believe the genotype given at birth or said by parents. Have your genotype checked at multiple standard labs, you can even specifically request Hb Electrophoresis which is more accurate. Peace of mind is a better option every time. I can't blame warriors who don't reveal their sickle cell status, coz you need to work twice as every other person to prove you're just as capable as much. I'm so glad for the Ogidan's coz it's not every time you see at risk couples (couples with a high possibility of birthing a child with sickle cell) being this intentional about their warrior navigating life at it best. 29:06 Honestly said, Idara couldn't have gotten better parents than you guys, especially with Segi's firsthand info on sickle cell. 33:27 like my hematologist will say, there's nothing you can't do even as a warrior just tweak it to suit you. Wanna have chilled drinks, take it during the hot weather. 35:52 the water break for everyone 😂😂 my mum does this for my younger brother so he doesn't feel overwhelmed and left alone from constantly being reminded to be hydrated. 39:43 yeah the first sign of sickle cell in children is swollen hand and feet syndrome "dactylitis" majorly at 6months. So basically the science behind is that babies have fetal hemoglobin which is a much better at binding to oxygen and delivering it to the rest of the body. But at 6 months there's a switch where the fetal hemoglobin is no longer produced and the adult hemoglobin(which in the case of a child with sickle cell is the sickle hemoglobin) becomes produced. So the curved shape of the sickle red blood cells makes it blood the tiny vessels in their hands and feet, making it swollen. It's really painful especially for babies that can't even express what they're going through. Can't wait to watch the next episode ❤
Wow,,,,,the 'topics' so far in this particular season is good. Iove the fact is changing ideologies,opening ones perspective to see life differently. And to Segilola,,,, indeed you're a 'warrior'. More grace to pull through. The suleiman's ❤, thank you so much for this podcast, i get to learn more in each episode.
I really wish some people living with Sickle cell anemia are privilege to hear this, you were so intentionally about your health but some of them live so recklessly and they end end up having VOC regularly 😢, it so sad..
Lol, this video is like watching my self. I share the same views on sickle cell. The exact same views. My husband is AA tho. I wouldnt be able to emotionally handle a child with this same predicament. I'd be so so sad and cry everyday of guilt.
You guys keep raising the bar; And I must admit that this Couple is such an incredible duo. At some point I felt like they were just too good to be true 🫣😂 but again it was quite educating episode as always 😊. Well done my people 🎉🎉
Listened to this on audio and rushed here. It really dawned on me that God’s way is really not our way and sometimes it seems like he disappointed us but he did exactly what we needed. He always knew he was AA, she wanted the status to stop with her and would have ended things if she knew he was AS. They didn’t find out till she was pregnant and I believe that was God working so that she won’t lose the man and family that was right for her. She may have found her AA man but he may not have been empathetic or quarter as caring and loving as her partner is.. The more questions you asked them, the more it showed how NORMAL their baby boy is and how calm they’ve had it. Lovee your podcast
I feel so bad and guilty of the misguiding and low way that I have been looking at my friend that has a sickle cell anaemia. But I’m grateful that I subscribe and watch this particular episode. I’m now more aware and educated of how truly and marvelous they’re “warriors and strong”. Thank you guys for this awesome lesson of life❤
Very informative episode. I just want to add that sickle cell is a result of genetic mutation due to malaria. Hence it is prevalent in areas where malaria is prevalent. So it is indirectly due to geography. I just thought to add that, so we don’t think there’s something wrong with us Africans. 😂

The Suleiman’s have WHOLESOME FRIENDS! My God!!!
This!!!!!! This here is why i come back to watch every episode.

I was just here glaring at segilola's hair, it is so beautiful. Thank you mummy and daddy Keon.😍
I thought I knew Segilola from some where 😮😮😅😅😅😅 It’s from TMC. Louise’s wife 🎉 Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought she’s a sickle cell warrior 😢.
A BRAVE WARRIOR at that that. Kuddos to her and other warriors out there.
Jeeeezzzz I was struggling 😂😂😂😂

This is the most wholesome content I have seen on here today! Deep sturvs, deep love and having the right partner. Thank you for this!
I knew she's a warrior the first time I saw her in the Logline movie, through her eyes and her lips. More wins warrior
Wow! I can't believe they are AS and SS. They're so strong. God bless them
I can only say that they were destined to be together
