"IS IT POSSIBLE TO LIVE WITHOUT FEAR IN A WORLD FILLED WITH FEAR?"

They were many scary stories about delivery but she decided with her husband to be fearless...

It was a peaceful delivery that birthed a beautiful baby girl they named GABRIELLA, she was PERFECT!

#OdogwuTales

29th August 2015 at exactly 7:21am, Gabriella was born to Hayley and Nathaniel, the 1st 30mins of her life was bliss but then something happened...

At exactly 7:51am, Gabriella developed breathing problems and needed oxygen, the children specialist (Paediatricians) were called..
The pediatricians rushed Gabriella to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) as her health got worse

Her father Nathaniel went with her and kept praying for her, telling her "Daddy is here" as the doctors tried "Intubating" her

Intubation is inserting a tube through the mouth..
to give oxygen, anaesthesia or medicine but in Gabriella's case, it was to give her more oxygen...

The doctors called in the couple into a room opposite where their baby was to explain how critical and sever Gabriella's case was...

But 5mins after intubation, HER HEART STOPPED!
The doctors rushed out of the room as no one expected that to happen and the only thing the couples were hearing was "123 Breathe...123 Breathe"

They were trying to resuscitate Gabriella and to get her heart beating again

Nathaniel looked at his wife and told her "Have No Fear"
And took her hands, telling her "Let's Pray", the midwife in the room with them joined in the prayers because she believed God kept her in that room for a reason...

Minute by minute kept going without a pulse i.e heartbeat but Nathaniel, his wife and the nurse kept praying...

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE


2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less.

3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)


4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3


5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
