Akwa Ibom lady speaks about long pipe

She described it as something that was used when a person had a dirty stomach and struggled to use the toilet.

According to Lord_dress, the process involved washing with green leaves or warm water, after which the liquid was introduced into the body with the aid of the pipe.

She added that Vaseline was applied to the tip before use, noting that the practice was well known among people from her background and that it had been carried out on many occasions.

She made it clear that the purpose was not to treat infection and she was unsure whether it had any effect on infections and that it was simply meant to clear a dirty stomach.

The comments from Lord_dress came in response to the backlash that followed Tunmise’s public statements.

Tunmise had alleged that Ivana, a popular social media content creator, cheated on him and gave him an infection.

He also claimed that it took him a long time to recover and that Ivana attempted a traditional healing procedure on him using a long pipe.

After those claims surfaced, reactions online were mixed. Some people mocked Tunmise over the details he shared, while others discussed the cultural context of the pipe.

Lord_dress was among those who chose to explain rather than ridicule. She presented the item as part of routine home care and not as a medical treatment for illness.
