Nigerian author and lawyer, Reno Omokri has revealed the reason why women do not need to flaunt their baby bumps on social media.
According to him, people should stop parading their bumps and organizing baby shower during their pregnancy because it attracts negative human spirit.
Reno said this on Twitter as he warns pregnant women to stop showing off their pregnant while advising them to learn from their baby.
“When you flaunt baby bumps, you attract Negative Human Spirits. Thoughts affect reality. Even God operates that way. ‘I know the thoughts I have for you, thoughts of good, not evil’-Jer 29:11. Not everyone has ‘thoughts of peace’ for you“
People do not need to know you are pregnant. Not having a baby shower won’t kill you. Not parading your baby bump on social media deprives you of nothing. Learn from your baby. It is silent for 9 months and only cries after it is born!” He said.

The answer is YES!!!!
A year and a half ago the world laughed at me when I said I knew YOU were my husband only days after spending time with you. I didn’t blame them, after all it’s an uncommon and inexplicable feeling when you meet your soulmate. ( Also they’d met the Vee who had no plans to be married).
On my 30th birthday my plans for the years to come were so different from where we are now, but GOD laughs when we are making plans.Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for YOU, they are plans for good and not for disaster, to give YOU a future and a hope.
Honestly, my future was feeling bleak and I was losing hope in what I thought was a perfect plan.
And then I met YOU.
… YOU saved my life in ways only a man appointed and anointed by GOD could. There are no words to describe the power of surrendering to GOD and in this case to LOVE. GOD IS LOVE! I spent my whole life searching for joy and peace in things and places that couldn’t offer nothing but a temporary high. With your love I bask in abundance. For everything I did right GOD blessed me with YOU.
The answer is YES! YES TO my best friend, YES to my soulmate, YES to the love of my life. Over and over and over again in EVERY lifetime. How you located me in this time and loved me in ways only YOU could is a testament to GOD’s divine order of things and FAVOR and GRACE.
