In her first post on the 20th of January post, Model tell us say she hear her boyfriend say sumthing, and [i][/i]she sabi the girl, yet you people dey holler say she no give the full detail, blah,blah,blah, you lot come dey yarn complete utter tosh say e fit be hin sister, mother, etc  haba, you people no sabi read again?

In your cousin's case, she might have known or she may not have known, but the fact of the matter is that THESE THINGS HAPPEN.

TO ALL YOU DOUBTING THOMASES OUT THERE,

It is not every pregnant woman that;
stops seeing her period, some get their period throughout the whole pregnancy;
Not everyone experiences nausea;
Not everyone gains weight;
Some people lose weight during pregnancy;
Not everyone's belly comes out;
Not all pregnancy tests are accurate; etc

We live in the United Kingdom. My little sister had been ill, admitted into hospital three times, had all sorts of test done to her, she used conventional and alternative medicine, got lots of injections, there were even talks of giving her blood transfusion, [/b]AND[b] yet she still saw her period regularly. She had been to three different hospitals and [/i]all pregnancy tests were negative[i]. The doctors were baffled about her illness. She wears size 6 in the UK, which is a size 2 in the US, and was losing weight.

I got a call from my mum in November that they had just found out that my junior sister was pregnant. My mum was really scared and upset  because she had been subject to loads of tests and injections for the whole months that the pregnancy had gone undetected, and pregnant women are only allowed limited drugs in pregnancy.

My mum told me that even though my dad was very upset, he had agreed that she could keep the pregnancy. The next thing i said to my mum was that so i am going to be an aunt in summer, and her reply was that NO THE BABY IS DUE IN JANUARY.

I must have swallowed the spoon that i was eatiing with, cause my cutlery is one down, and i have searched everywhere for it to no avail.

After I regained my composure, I said to my mum that but i thought you just said dad had reluctantly agreed that she could keep the baby[i].MEN can be so clueless. So if he had not agreed, would she have been subject to aborting a[/i] seven/eight months old pregnancy?

My sister has since given birth to a heathy bouncing baby boy, who miraculously did not have any birth defects whatsoever. The only thing is that he is allergic to milk.

On another note, My friend is a UK size 14/American size 10, her belly is so flat that people always comment that she is very lucky to have such flat belly on her big frame.   

She is currently five and half months pregnant now and people are always telling her to get proof that she is actually pregnant. Her cousin, who is also five months pregnant escorted her to the council to get accommodation and the receptionist told her that she would have to bring proof that she was pregnant, whilst the cousin got referred to the Homeless Persons Unit straightaway. 

The fact that something seems weird does not mean that it is not true.

I kinda understand the point l[b]oomboc[/b] is trying to make. Loads of foreigners,  living in other parts of the world do not get the recognition they deserve, nor get paid what they are really worth.

These developed countries open their doors to foreigners because someone needs to do the dirty work that their own people do not want to do. Examples in Britain include the west indians and asians that were brought over to reconstruct the country after the war, the recent EU expansion that allowed the further 10 countries to join partly in the hope that they would cover the menial jobs that their people refuse to do, etc. These people never get paid the same wages as there British counterpart.

In most jobs foreigners don't even get paid the same rate as their British counterpart. Even a lot of people in managerial positions know that the white guy under him usually gets paid more than he does. Chances of promotion are usually slim and non-existent.   

Nigeria is a country blessed by God with good brain. People like to study, even to the extent of acquiring one, two or even ten degrees, yet don't get any recognition, and have to make do with low paid security jobs, cleaning,  driving a taxi, etc. This in turn is the reason why a lot of them turn to fraud to make ends meet.

A lot of them cannot contemplate returning to Nigeria because they have nothing to take back home, hence remain in the vicious cycle of working every God-given unsocial hours to make ends meet.

They have no one to turn to for help because there is no family in UK, it is everyman for himself, a dog-eat-dog world. Aunties, uncles, brothers. sisters, relatives, etc who constantly pester your parents back at home to send you over only need you to come and look after their kids and do all their housework, and would not hesitate too chuck you out if you cannot do this for them. They would have called your parents back home to lie to them thay you've been staying out late or keeping bad company or you have seduced their man/woman, etc. A lot of the [/b][/i]nice[b][i] ones do not even bother to come and pick you from the airport, telling you to find your way to theirs.  Some give numbers that they cannot be reached on or simply switch off their phone, etc. We all know their is a lot of sad stories out there so i would not bore you on.  Perhaps someone should start another forum to hear people's experiences with relatives of when they first arrived from Nigeria.

In the United Kingdon, a lot of bungalows have staircases, so the judges got that bit wrong.
