Akindolz, congratulations dear. Make I do pack my load dey come over before they will change their system. By the way, do they realise how much we put into their system? If our system is so good , personally I won't be coming over. I never liked the UK, most of my Vacations are done in the US.

Secondly, my hospital here had mentioned to me very early in my pregnancy that I should keep down a minimum of 3 million naira for delivery in case of NICU. NICU that hardly saves babies born unless they are in their 7th month. Please! 3 million naira is 15,000 dollars at least. For me, its all about the medicals first before the pali thingy.

They should just bear with us. It's not easy for us too.
A friend delivered her twins at 24 weeks. One survived and today, he's a bubbling boy. This was all possible because she gave birth whilst in the US. If it had happened here, those babies would have gone down the soakaway. As long as the person can afford to pay her bills, they should help us save our babies. We want the best medical care possible which unfortunately, we can't get here in Nigeria, at least for now.

I didn't buy food at all, I was just ordering for more especially tea. Their food is nothing special, very small. ThankGod I made a good choice, you can get food if you want. Cook small rice and stew and chicken out inside your bag. I bought food in O'hare, just burger and chicken wings. I carry my back pack and also a hand luggage
