From time immemorial, women have always formed tribes and close-knit relationships among themselves. It is even more evident in this day and age when technology has fostered the emergence of virtual communities that anyone can join at the click of a button.
In recent times, several online platforms have sprung up with the interest of drawing women and mothers from around the globe together. These online communities are so important because they help foster the dissemination of information that can be beneficial to women and their children.
Such platforms usually focus on women’s health, pregnancy and nurture. At any rate, these platforms are the place to be for mothers, expectant mothers, and anyone who hopes to be a mother in the future.
In celebration of Mother’s Day, here are 5 Nigerian communities on social media for women and mothers around the globe.
