Dear caregivers, parents pls learn how to palpate your warriors spleen, this way you will know when there's a problem of splenomegaly.

Splenic sequestration happens when the red blood cells get stuck in the spleen leading to splenomegaly () and severe anaemia, it is mostly common between ages 4months to 5yrs and San also occurs in older Warriors.

Signs that your warrior has splenomegaly
1. Irritability
2. Unusual sleepiness
3. Looks pale
4. Weakness
5. Fast heart beat
6. Enlarge spleen
7. Pain on the left side of the abdomen

During my undergraduate days school, doctors almost opted for the removal of my spleen, because I had splenomegaly and it was more than twice (different occasions) my abdomen very painful, spleen was enlarged it led to crisis eventually and I was on admission for the most part of the semester.

The best way to avoid complications is to learn how to palpate your Warriors spleen and seek medical attention ASAP, as delay could be fatal.

A warrior's experience....

Discrimination is a major issue we face as warriors, sometime ago during my job hunting days I remember vividly how I got a job in DSTV but because I opened up on been a warrior I lost the job, that was one of the countless experiences I had, in the course of advocating I have equally met warriors who are been discriminated against in their private and public life..

I have met warriors thrown into the streets because they come down often with crises, the lady I met recently a 29 year old complained bitterly that her immediate family was on her neck to get married after graduation, constantly been told to be like her mates. My response to her was that she should not succumb to pressure no matter what & I will come see her family regarding the issue.

Personally, I feel the more we talk about Sickle Cell the more knowledge people have of it.

Hence we're asking residents in Warri, Abuja, Lagos and Sagamu to please join us and create awareness and support warriors on World Sickle Cell Day. Let's walk in honor of our fallen heroes and General




Date: June 20th
Venue: we'll be communicated soon
Time:7am
Dresscode: red tee on blue or black

Understanding Sickle Cell Disorder: Knowledge Saves Lives

Yesterday, we had a truly impactful and enlightening Sickle Cell Disorder awareness outreach with our teenagers at Redeemers School Phase 3 Abuja; where we engaged them in meaningful conversations about sickle cell disorder, its causes, triggers, management, and the importance of awareness and support.

The session was highly interactive, and it was inspiring to see the children ask thoughtful and intelligent questions, showing genuine curiosity and willingness to learn more about their health and wellbeing. Moments like these remind us how important education and early awareness are in building a more informed and supportive society.

Accompanied by two amazing volunteers, Mega and Funke, whose insightful contributions, encouragement, and engagement with the children added great value to the outreach. Their support helped create a warm, welcoming, and educative atmosphere for everyone present.

We are grateful for the opportunity to educate, inspire, and advocate for better understanding of sickle cell disorder among young people. Together, we continue to spread awareness, encourage empathy, and promote healthier lives.

Well done to team Abuja
