 Poems For Review / In Time,time Shall Tell by advocateolapet: 11:21am On Nov 28, 2017 |
http://www.advocateolapet.com/2017/08/in-time-time-shall-tell.html IN TIME, TIME SHALL TELL I've been in the fires of life Enough to be ashes burnt! Yet I've remained more- Hardened than burnt! Anguish, suffering and poverty, Are to me comfortable companions! 'Cos infinite experiences of acute Wretchedness have I had: For sure, I'll survive! 'cos whatever fire cannot Destroy,-it HARDENS And as Gold is immune to fires Gold becomes a treasure able fortune! In time, my immunity to the fires Of life shall make me also ........ A treasurable fortune OLAWUMI NANA 1 Like |

http://www.advocateolapet.com/2017/03/inspector-simi.html Episode 1 MAY 9,2016[url][/url] http://www.advocateolapet.com/2017/03/inspector-simi.html[url][/url] Inspector Simi, you are taking up this case.How can a 23-year-old lady disappear just like that?I do not like the sort of news I hear these days.I'm particularly interested in the case, such a beautiful lady'''He said handing over her pictures to me. I looked at the picture and gazed intently. Wow!she is such a beauty, I had an instant likeness for her. She even looks likes me, She had a cut on her left eyebrow, same as mine. I felt a bond immediately, cold shivers ran down my spine.Who is this lady?Why should she have such effect on me? I thought still trembling and looking at the pictures in my hand. ''Inspector Simi' The DPO's voice stunned me. ''I need you to get to the root of the case. The information you need to solve this case is in this file.I trust you will do a good job'' I collected the file and peered into his eyeballs.I saw a grin, instantly I became afraid. the grin on the DPO's face is a symbol of a rocky adventure to come As I moved out of the building towards the direction of the car park, various thoughts came to my head. From the moment my boss had mentioned the case, I became uncomfortable. What is making me fidget, I asked myself.I sighed, as I opened the door to my car. I got into the car and fastened my seat belt. Could it be that I will not be able to crack this case....never! .........why am I having these thoughts.I had not even opened the file, so!whats working me up.I had been in the Criminal Investigation Department for 7 years now, and i had solved 15 cases of murder, kidnapping, theft, name any case. I had devoted my life solely to the Nigerian Police Force and nothing more. The Nigerian Police Force is my life, job, husband, career and my everything. I had sacrificed a lot and put so much passion into this job. I had resolved to solve every case in my arms.I'm the Dpo most trusted officer. Looking back at the memory lane of how I joined the police force, I smiled. |

| Health / Dealing With Postpartum Depression by advocateolapet: 7:03am On May 18, 2017 |
http://9jatattler..com.ng/2017/05/dealing-with-postpartum-depression.html What's wrong with me? I just gave birth to a bouncing baby girl. Why am I so depressed? I should be happy and proud, but I feel bad,even angry. The term ''postpartum depression'' refers to depressive episodes following childbirth.This can occur after the birth of a child,be it first child or last child. Depression episodes can even follow a miscarriage or termination of a pregnancy. Many women experience postpartum blues or baby blues,characterized by mil sadness,anxiety,fluctuating moods,fatigue e.t.c. Those blues are considered normal and are short lived,resolving themselves without any medical help within about ten days after childbirth. They can even go beyond the first few days. They can even appear several months after birth. This may be full-fledged postpartum depression,in which the feelings of sadness,anxiety or despair are so intense that the mother has trouble coping with her daily tasks. There is a more severe form of depression callled postpartum psychosis,in which the mother has delusions or hallucinations that often focus on hurting herself or the baby. This later attention requires immediate medical attention Causes of Postpartum Depression There is no single clearly defined cause of postpartum depression.Both physical and emotional factors seems to be involved. Below are some of these factors 1. nutritional imbalance 2. fatigue and lack of sleep 3. unplanned pregnancy 4. loss of freedom 5. concern about attractiveness Also the idea that motherhood skills should be instinctive can lead to postpartum depression Treating Postpartum Depression 1. Hormone treatment 2. Eating a nutritious diet 3. Acupuncture 4.homeopathic remedies 5.Herbs [url][/url]http://9jatattler..com.ng/2017/05/dealing-with-postpartum-depression.html 1 Like |
