Will do. Thanks!

bout 6 tablets of the kojic and papaya soap'; 3 of the black and one of the tonique 10x strength gface gel. I live in Lagos, Ikeja to be precise.s/

Am desperate for diana stalder product in nigeria. Have checked and looked everywhere .temiade whats your proceedure in supplying them and what is the price like; particularly interested in the kojic and papaya soap and black soap from DS and then and brightening gel from tonique

Oh and am making sobo, bought the purple flowers already and melon drink as well. Where is Amaka for some inspiration?

Is it the same old jollof or fried rice?Or iyan? we eat that most sundays anyway. Am thinking of some chinese inspired rice and soy chicken. and maybe ofada rice and spicey pepper and chicken for lunch on new years, any other suggestions?

Retin A cream/gel is also said to be effective for acne, but i think you need to see a specialist dermatologist. Using unprescribed antibiotics can be detrimental especially since there are many kinds of antibiotics and they all have different effects. also some can become ineffective, so seeing a doctor who knows what they are doing is adviced, if you look at the reviews for Retin A online-(google it)they are pretty impressive. it exfoliates the sin keeping the pores clear of debris and dirt and oils that cause acne. Its pretty strong and may actaully make the skin appear worse before it gets better as the imbedded bacteria comes to the surface. it stings and you need to incorporate sun screen as it can sensitise the skin.
apart from that drinking lots of water all the time, cleans out the system of toxins and doent cost a thing. Good luck.

Just rememebered, Uncle Mentus, alade market- he usually has everything

Try Tejuosho, those shops off the main road , ive seen it there. Also Lagos island, balogun where they sell cosmetics. Seen it there too

@Betty try Heathplus and Medplus at the Palms, Lekki. the have Retin a cream

Can anyone tell me where i can ger Diana Stalder Papaya and Kojic Acid soap in Lagos? Please, anyone?

This one is for the food guru Amaka!
Please is there anyway you can put pictures of nigerian spices- uyayak and co on this thread and how to use them? Whenever i go to market i see loads of nigerian spices and have no idea what they are for. And there are a lot of recipes on this thread with indegenous spices that i dont knw, may know by sight but not by name. I used to have the coverted Maggi Kitchen cook book and it had all the spices, from hausaland, igboland etc , if there are any you know please enlighten me!

@becomrich,
IBB moved everything to Abuja when his life was threatened in the Orkar coup. He felt being closer north would be safer. Good luck to them all, they should just stay where they are. Chikena!

a beg, abeg, a beg!!! they should keep their bomb threaten ministries in Abuja ojare! Lagos is over populated as it is. they should stay where they are and not spoil our Lagos for us ojare. Eko oni baje!

I so agree with the last speakers, please look at that video very well, some one is financing these boys and they arent real militants. The spokesman's '', and whatever, '' naunces imply that he is well educated, certainly not in the creeks. did you see the MEND emblem, brand new, someone has financed their uniforms, their brand new guns, everything. Like you said even the wooden structures are very well built, well paid for. Some one is financing these folks to cause havoc, someone very conniving, an evil genius with a lot of money to burn.

Hi Eggyloo,
I feel you. It may be you have a very sensitive scalp. Now in addition to the recommended relaxers please take note of these
[list]
[li]make sure you dont handle your hair a few days to relaxing- avoid scratching, the reason for this is that the build up of dead scalp cells acts as a buffer to the new sensitive scalp cells on the skin
[list]
[

[/list]dont remove braids less than 5 days before retouching- ideally if you have removed your braids, leave your hair for at least 5 days; avoid brushing and combing scalp as this willmake it more sensitive;keep moisturising scalp with shea butter but make sure you do not scratch; you could wear a wig til you retouch to avoid handling the hair
[list]
i

[/list]vaseline is a very good base for protecting the scalp from the relaxer
dont wash your hair, at the very least a week before retouching- the dirtier your hair is(yes i know it sounds yuky!)the less irritation to you scalp when you retouch[/li]
[/li]
[/list]

also try putting less relaxer for a shorter amount of time.o
i hope all this helps, but seriously the less you handle your hair before the day the less irritated your scalp will be.
Good luck!!!

Hi,
Tinuke of AsherSmith, just off the Omole Main Gate road, inside Omole.
Very good, reliable, amiable and prices vary from N5000.
Her number is 08023698262

at this point in time why would anyone have any compassion. the fact remains that the only person we are SURE has access to Yaradua is turai. She should do the right thing and tell us what exactly is going on. If she is a good woman who really cares about her husband she should actually have a press conference and say, ''Actually everything you have been told is a lie. My husband is ill, very ill, and i am taking him home to Katsina wher he will find peace.''

Thank God Gbenga appeared on Focus this morning! i was estatic and am assuming that he is back, he couldnt come at a better time. Lets hope that as the Nigerian drama continues to unfold that AIT will have the guts to let someone speaks and reveals the true picture of tings to continue doing his job as a journalist.

it depend son the shade of pink.
a dusky pale pink like the one in some of tausis pictures also go well with dove grey.rich brown is a very good combi too. if possible try to stay away from the shocking deep pink like in the pink/blue and pink /black table and chair combi above. its a bit too strong and can look comical if you are not careful, unless its in nativewear-i.e. aso oke. Powder blue, like baby blue will also go well with pale pink

Hausa fulani have taken over Kwara which used to be a Yoruba state. Afonja virtually gave it away. this is how they always encroach and eventually spread their backwardness.  It is sad that fundamentalists continue to confuse Islam with backwardness. Many have no respect for women.Hopefully the progressives in Kwara will prevail. I pray'' those'' dont spread their bloodthirsty poison southwards.

Haaa, hahahahahahahaha!!!hahhehehehehehe!
Laugh wan kill me o,
Isnt this the man that ''disappeared'' from the shores of the uk dressed like a woman and ''appeared '' in Naija, saying ''It is the work of God, ''. Why are politicians so shameless!!!So desperate to have another go at the pie sharing that nothing will stand in their way, no past scandal, no past disgrace, nothing, God help us o.
postcript, I bet there will soon be some ''We want Alameiyeseigha back!!!Vote for Alemieyesigha!!! Alemeiyesiegha is our saviour!!!!!!!!""

@tpia is totally correct. Cook with unripe pawpaw, the green one. Or wash an unripe pawpaw and slice cuts in it, collect the white milky sap like juice and pour into meat and cook. The secret is that unripe pawpaw, its skin, its leaves and stalks contain papaine an enzyme that disolves protein. this is why eating pawpaw after a meal will stop constipation. the unripe green pawpaw contains the most papine.

That he's actually on location for the new Avatar sequel
that his wife and James Cameron are co directing
that this is his plan to finally get Nigeria a respectable name
that He'll be back

Jakumo:

With inspiration from the Elvis Presley classic  "Heartbreak Hotel", may I humbly submit this timely tune.

Well since Yar'Dua left us
we found a new place to dwell
Its where we love that phoney news

Its called the   Fake Death Hotel
Well, Where's Yar Aduaaa  ?
Where's Yar Adua? I don't know

They say he went to Saudi
To stop looking like a ghost
Now noone knows if he's live or dead
With more sightings than of The King

Well     Where's Yar Aduaaaa ?
Where's Yar Adua? I don't know

@Jakumo - Genius.
also ''Ladies and gentlemen, Yaradua has left the building.''

@asa80 EXACTLY!!!

I think apart from the fact that Nigerians generally love life so much that any kind of life is better than no life at all, our society has become sooo corrupt.
You stand up for something , people support you and swear heaven and earth to stand by you and then you find out they have been bought by some fifth columnists. You go for a rally or protest and find somewhere along the line you are the only one standing in front of armed police. It takes a very strong fearless person, in the mold of a Gani or a Fela to stand up when majority of ppl are looking for something to eat and dont want to bite the hand that feeds them. the society is no longer pure where people stand up for what is right, see how many people turned against and abandoned Abiola, one by one. all hungry self serving people. even me would i join a rally to face mobile police if i wasnt really sure that we would all stand to the end? Over the years people have realised that it is every man for himself or that he can be bought for a price. the only time i remember anyone being willing to stand up and die was when Abiola was elected in a free and fair election. There was so much hope and loyalty in the air that people were willing to die. but it all filtered out and come to nuoght. and when you are faced with an armed mob with no rule of law every body thinks, 'Huh,to your house. Oh Israel!' There is no justice in this country so self perservation has become more paramount than anything else.

Sky News is reporting that a convoy was attacked this morning in Port Harcort. The cars were conveying some foriegners to work and 3 Britons and 1 Colombian have been kidnapped as a result of that attack. These people have started again, Is it because they have leant that Yaradua may be alive afterall? Or they are just fed up of being tossed here and there? after how mant months there is no sign of useful work for them or tangible development in that area of the country, Too sad,

In no particular order
Gani Fawehinmi- Fearless, just,principled,intelligent, social critic, fighter for the masses
Obafemi Awolowo- sharp, witty and visionary leader,
Fela Anikulapo- fearless social critic, great music ahead of his time and from a formidable and legendary family
Chinua Achebe-insightful great story teller and writer
Yakubu Gowon-young leader steering Nigeria out of a civil war, vision

todays Vanguard

listened to the interview, all 51 secs of it on BBC website and have just watched confirmation of such on BBC world news. i think the man is still alive but these facts still remain
[list]
[li][/li]that Nigerians have been taken for granted and grossly insulted by the lack of information and continued coverup of the true situation things for 50 days is unacceptable and an inditment on Yaraduas leadership

Haaaaahahahahahahahahah. total bullsh**. How convenient that he is talking to BBC ! why isnt he talking to NTA, AIT, MiTV,TVC, Channels etc when the Nigerians who are yearning for some truthful information for once have been waiting for 47 days. Such crap, more lies,
