People think I was Fetish and a Mermaid- Homeopathic practitioner Quincy spills
Kindly Share this Story
Homeopathic practitioner Quincy olasumbo Ayodele who is based in abroad and known for her use of herbs has recounted on how people thought she was a fetish person due to her career.   
What challenge did you face in the course of your career? 
How can I ever forget how I was called all sorts of names to discourage me? Oh yes, I was called all sorts of names when I started talking about the importance and efficacy of medicinal plants back in the days in the 90s. In those days, it was a taboo to talk about herbs. I was stigmatized. Sexism ( I am a woman so what do I know), thinking I am fetish, thinking I am unknowledgable, so many things I can’t even count. At one point, they thought I was a mermaid ( laughing). I remember when I started my natural Weight Loss business (Quincy Herbal Slimmers) in Nigeria way back in the mid-90s, a lot of what I went through when I started talking about the efficacy of medicinal plants. It was a very difficult period of my life in that I am devout Christian in the Redeemed Christian Church of God and yet I was talking about healing with herbs. But the word of God that says “my people perish for lack of knowledge” kept me going. So, I did not allow the stigma to distract or discourage me. I kept on talking and practicing with natural herbs and people were being healed. God didn’t allow all that to discourage me, rather the Almighty God of nature Himself used the media to advertise the works of my hands and the wonders and medicinal benefits of nature.

How did you overcome the challenges?   
I went all out through the media to keep raising awareness, proving the efficacy and potency of medicinal plants in our country. Separating healing using medicinal plants from healing with fetish traditional beliefs. I went all out proving that herbal medicines have doses and they are purely for medicinal and healing purposes. Then the Almighty God of nature Himself made WHO to pronounce that other medicines have failed the world and they began to look into the development of the ‘relegated’ herbal medicine and I was appointed by WHO as an Expert Committee member on the development of African Traditional Medicine Practice, Practitioners and Products.   
What’s your advice to younger women who want to be successful in business?   
Start small, but dream big. Do not use your profits for personal reasons, give yourself a small salary and increase it as the business grows. Don’t rely on anybody, human beings can disappoint. Only God cannot disappoint. So, rely on God and advertise   
Years back, how did you cope as an entrepreneur?   
I was married for about 14 years before I began this business and already had three children, so family came first for me. In fact, it was my husband who encouraged and supported me to open the business and has encouraged it throughout till date. I wear different hats depending on where I am and what I am doing. When I am home, I am a wife, mom, sister, child and grandmother. When I am at work, I am a natural medical practitioner. When I am at events, I wear the hat of a celebrity and have fun and network when needed. 
Lets talk about stardom, at what point did you gain popularity? 
First of all, I treated myself, lost the weight, got healthier, and started telling people about it. I developed a programme protocol, applied it to my clients and it worked and with word of mouth, the news spread about a modernized light skinned educated woman who was using herbal medicine to treat people and specialized in weight loss. It was unheard of back in the days and natural medicine or leaf of any kind was considered devilish and fetish so I realized that I had to educate the community on the benefits of herbal medicine, maintaining a healthy weight and eating right. From there, media houses and newspapers started looking for me to talk more about this old and ancient male only craft that I had now resurfaced and modernized as a woman. In fact, the tipping point was when Frank Olise and Abike Dabiri came to my office on live TV ( NTA Newsline) to see patients lose 4kg in a space of 4 hours or less right there in my clinic on live TV and from there it took on. Also, I am appreciative of the media houses who helped launch me into the public. Over the years, I was invited to become a WHO expert member on Development of African Traditional Medicine which carried me literally all over the continent and even to the world to develop and execute policies to improve and regulate traditional medicine like it’s done in China and other countries. 
 
How did you handle stardom as Quincy?   
I don’t let stardom to enter my head. Firstly, I am a Christian – a believer of Jesus Christ to the core. I am a child of villagers, my husband is a child of farmers and we were both raised in the village. I don’t forget where I come from and use that to maintain my humility. My father always taught me that “simplicity costs you nothing, but buys you everything”. That is my driving force. I also want to appreciate all our numerous customers in the last 26 years of the emergence of the Quincy brand. I thank them for believing in nature and also believing in me.

I may be called old fashion but I check my children Virginity- Woman

Published

Kindly Share this Story

A Nigerian lawyer, wife of a pastor, and mother has sparked conversations on social media after advising mothers to regularly check their daughters’ virginity.

In a lengthy post shared on Facebook, she admitted that her stance might seem old-fashioned to some, but emphasized that she believes in playing an active role in her children’s lives, particularly in guiding their moral upbringing.

She further explained that she consistently teaches her children to honor their bodies as a form of purity to God, rather than viewing it as something solely for their future spouses.

She wrote: “HOW I CHECK MY DAUGHTERS VIRGINÎTY.

You can call me old fashioned, outdated or whatever but I believe in purity & I also believe that I have a role to play in my children’s life (both male & female) to ensure that they continue to keep themselves. See, I tell them to keep their bodies pure not for their husbands but for GOD’S glory. I lost my battle against séxual immoralîty many years ago because I became very comfortable with one brother like that who almost married me. I gave in because I felt, after all we were going to be married. He had me & yes, I ended up with someone else. If all my focus was on GOD during my purity journey before marriage, I would have stayed strong till the end.

Now this is my method for checking virginîty as passed on to me by my own mother;

1) Let the child lie down flat on the ground.

2) With her p**nts off, she should spread out her legs very well.

3) Pin your two f****ngers on the two edges of her vàgina.

4) Stretch it slightly.

5) Check for it’s openness & depth, it will have a lot to reveal about such child’s state of chastîty.

Please, mothers don’t go crazy with your child in case you get a negative result. Be soft and get to hear from her how she became so loosed. The things you will hear will greatly shock you. One of my daughters (6 years old) said;

“Mummy, na my brother and him two friends dey f***çk f***********ck me every time!”

This generation is certainly cràzy, there are predators everywhere, the girl child must be seriously protected. Mothers, please let’s watch & pray!

Former OpenAI researcher-turned-whistleblower Suchir Balaji was tragically found dead in his San Francisco apartment on November 26th.  


According to reports from The Mercury, medical examiners have stated there was no evidence of foul play, and his death is believed to be a suicide.  


Suchir Balaji trended in October after publicly accusing OpenAI of violating U.S. copyright laws through its generative AI application, ChatGPT. 


He was featured in a New York Times profile, where he highlighted what he believed were ongoing fair use violations committed by the AI model.  


Just days before his death, on November 18th, the New York Times filed a letter in federal court naming Balaji as a person with “unique and relevant documents” to support their ongoing lawsuit against OpenAI. 


The lawsuit accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of using the work of journalists and editors without proper authorization.


Paying tribute to Suchir, OPEN AI tells CNBC:  “We are devastated to learn of this incredibly sad news today and our hearts go out to Suchir’s loved ones during this difficult time,”

Indian billionaire tycoon, Mr. Tata, the owner of the Tata Group, passed away earlier this month at a hospital in Mumbai at the age of 86. 

Mr. Tata never married or had children but he left his estate, valued at £91 million to his beloved dog rather than his siblings.

According to The Times, Mr. Tata’s will outlined specific provisions for his dog, Tito, ensuring “unlimited care.” His butler, Konar Subbiah, and his cook, Rajan Shaw, were also each granted large portions of his fortune, while his siblings will only inherit part of his estate.

Suhel Seth, a close friend of Mr. Tata, shared that his former butler and cook are now caring for Tito following the billionaire’s passing.

“He has made very, very generous provisions for them

“They will never have to work again and they will be very well looked after.” He told the times

He added: “His will is not a statement of wealth but a ‘gesture of gratitude for the joy and care’ he was given by his pets and two closest aides.
