Thanks for sharing. I was wondering... Can I PM you?

Yes pls. Will respond as soon as i can

GeneralOjukwu:


Congratulations. Which country were you posted ? What were the benefits?

I was in Burkina Faso with WAHO and we had $50 in those days to supplement housing charges monthly. that was all as per benefits. Plus a laptop

i tried WAHO too years back but i was turned down

GeneralOjukwu:


Congratulations. Which country were you posted ? What were the benefits?

I was in Burkina Faso with WAHO and we had $50 in those days to supplement housing charges monthly. that was all as per benefits. Plus a laptop

I was deployed to Rwanda
Benefit include
$1000 settling in Allowance
I was paid $600, those deployed to Kenya were paid 700 and SA got $1000
$2500 post deployment settlement
AU passport that gives you a visa free access to all AU member state within the one year
and other benefit that u can tap into and leverage upon

GeneralOjukwu:


Please I am VERY interested in this ....How do you know how much AU pays? Never met someone who worked there...what other benefits are you talking about, sir?

The WAHO job is very good because you earn in dollars as you said...

I was opportuned to be selected for the 6th batch

Mama pls come to my aid o. I have gone to the toilet countless number of times today. Pls what can i do

Oluwainnie:
I don't have the one year professional work experience needed, can i go ahead and apply like that?

What is your discipline? what you have is enough. just package yourself well and sell your market

GeneralOjukwu:



Likely $500 monthly.. I did a similar one years ago with the West African Health Organization.
It was like N 75,000 ( $ 1 = 150 or so)

Be less concerned about the renumeration. The experience to be gained is priceless for someone just starting out.

I agree with General Ojukwu its a way of having international experience by voluneeting and being paid in dollars.

But you should try and way your options before jumping at it. Its a one year life time opportunity with mouth watery benefits during the one year period. AU pays between $600 -$1000 monthly

Pavore9:


It wouldn't, you need to see my load when I fly ET. You haven't exceeded the 46kg but if you still do not feel convinced, do call KQ's Lagos office and forward your concerns.

Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate it. I have tried calling the Lagos office before i resorted to nairaland but no one picked it up.

Nevertheless you have given me muscle. i will also keep on trying the contact hoping someone picks eventually to have a second opinion.

Asante Sana

Pavore9:


Have it packed properly in one of your luggage.

i learnt they put such fragile luggage in another place entirely so i cant put it with other luggage. i have a box of cloth weighing 21kg, a ghana must go of few food stuff and cloths weighing 12kg and the tv which is less than 7kg.

But my concern is with this luggage wont it be counted as 3piece even though i have not exceeded the total weight?

Pavore9:


What is the weight of the TV?

Its less than 7kg

Pavore9:


I don't know about flying with such but if you were flying directly to Kigali, it will involve less handling than connecting through Nairobi.

You are right . It will be packaged well but my concern is the 2piece thing even though i wont exceed the 46kg total

Pavore9:

Why coming over with a plasma TV?

Buying TV in Rwanda is super expensive though the TV is an old one been using it for 5years and i think its about 20inchs sef.
I live and work in Rwanda but will be flying a way one with Kenya airways for the first time. Kindly help me touch light this matter. Thanks

Fellow Nairalanders, i hail o. please i have a question to ask. I want to travel with kenya airways to rwanda but i am aware that the baggage should not exceed 23kg 2pieces for economy.

My question is i want to travel with a box, a ghana must go and a plasma Tv but the total for all wont exceed the 46kg but i cant place the plasma Tv in the ghana must go. wont the luggage be 3pieces already? even though i wont exceed the 46kg limit

Please guru in the house pls help a novice

B.A
My princess came in this morning 2nd july.

My due date according to scan was june 26 while lmp was july 1st.i was hoping for a june baby but at the same time scared of passing my due date since it happened with my first.
I went for lecture july 1st towards d end of the class i just remembered that i haven't felt kick at all.i left immediately and quickly drove home then took my bath and pack my hospital things in d car since hubby is not around n my mumc can't drive shld incase.on getting to hospital, doc examine d heartbeat and it was ok but that he will have to admit me since am due and movement has reduced.on getting to labor ward,the doc der checked me and said i was already 3cm.i  was given a room and i and my mumc started gisting.an hour later doc came in again and checked that i was 4cm and that he will allow labor to progress on its own till morning. By 1.30am a nurse came to wake me, an Enema was done and after 5min i went to download poo of life.an injection was given to me in other to make contraction stronger but contraction refuse to be strong (note i was busy praying that i will contract without pain and declaring the prayers in d e-copy of supernatural birth book i have).

By 5am d nurse came to check me and i was 6cm and that d cervix ws thick and baby head was still far and that she will have to gv me d almighty hot drip.around 6am she brought d drip and administer it,Immediately the pain came from no where and i just reminded myself that i can't feel pain cos i wanted supernatural delivery.when ever d pain comes i hold my mum tight and start speaking in tongues and praying.15min later i told my mum i want to poo that she shld press d bell for the nurses to come.she did but non was coming so she had to go and call them.i told them baby was coming and she said its is not possible that i shld calm down let her check me....b4 she could bend i already push d head out and d next contraction d body came out.

reniduke:
@mbilz @yacaa for u too.
Giddy person has said almost everything. Lemme add that the hospital asked me to do a warm sitz bath and not steam which is what we yorubas do traditionally. So I read about steam before agreeing with my mom to try her way.
If you do Choose the warm sitz, then the water should be such that you can put your Behind inside without burning. And you should add more hot water to warm it up when cold. For steam, 10 minutes is good or once the steam is cool, stand up, no matter what dem mamas say. It have do .

At stitches loosening, i had tiny episiotomy cut and had more stitches inside the vg, and though mine was absorbable they didnt fall off due to steam. I confess im not sure if that will apply to everyone, plus i dont sit as long as my momsi would have liked (10-15 mins and only for one week) and depending on how severe your tears are, might be best to avoid steam entirely like giddy person says and do warm water. But babe if ure not torn, do steam biko.
That her advice on the poo makes plenty sense, unless ure like me and hate eating vegetable as medicine then buy stool softener like liquid paraffin (ask a pharmacist). Insist that you dont want a regular laxative or purgative, u want a stool softener. If you try too hard to pooo ull injure ur anus and cause haemorrhoid. You can also apply some baby oil on your anal opening to keep things easy there.
Unless uve been told ur baby is very big, then buy one pack of newborn diaper. Ps. Newborn in pampers is for lo less than 4kg. Size 1 is 4-i think 6kg so that should give u a clue. Ps. My madam is not yet 4kg but she can wear size 1 now. Dont buy too much of anything so you aren't looking for who to dash the remaining (not like that's a bad thing).
Breastfeeding, learn to latch your baby well, but its hardwork at the beginning. Watch videos online if they dont teach you at the hospital. Use a breast pump if you want to see what you actually produce in 30mins or 1hour. I felt so bad and understood why she was always hungry and ive been supplementing with formula since day 4. Howeever my intense (sleep killing, nipple aching) breastfeeding efforts on days 1-3 means My gal switches easily from breast to formula without forgetting her first and preferred love-bm. but she wont collect d bottle from me and gives me side eye 'like seriously woman, bring that breast out now now before i vex" so only my ma and husband can successfully feed her bottle.
If you dont do baby wipes, u will be washing their butt everytime with water and patting dry. Abeg too much work! It reminds me of the days of washing my junior ones cloth diapers.
Most importantly have someone around to help you or you will find yourself crying like your baby. It can be frustrating even with help. Last last, dont give up, learn ur baby's cry language and signs, will write about that later if im chanced. My boss is awake.
@giddyperson what is hp?

Thank you mama for this explicit one

Very useful information thanks

Giddyperson:

If you get an episiotomy, while you're being stitched, ask if you can sit on hot water, if they say no don't do it no matter how many people come to your house later and say you can. Cuz if you do it, your stitches would loosen and you would have to get restitched.

There's also warm sitz baths which is done by sitting on warm water (warm enough to pour on your body). You can do that one. Zaynie made a post on it around 20-21st April, you can stalk her and read the post.

Cook a massive pot of vegetable soup and take a bowl of it everyday alongside all the orisirisi they are cooking for you so that your poo would remain soft and u won't loosen your stitches while straining to poo

If your hp is like mine that doesn't like soap and antiseptics then use savlon very sparsely else you would end up with an infection.

Take your post-childbirth drugs religiously, even if you are a drug throwawayer like me.

Just wash and dry ur hp area every time you use the toilet, if you keep it clean and dry at all times, it would heal fast.

Get like 4 small towels for the drying part so you can wash every time you use them.

Sit with your legs closed, don't walk around a lot, don't do stressful stuff, just rest.

After the first three days, or whenever the bleeding reduces to just drops, dump the lady sept pads and switch to pantie liners so that you can change it every time you feel something drop on it and for fresh air

If breast milk doesn't come in early, still just allow baby suck a lot, let her spend 24/7 on the breast if that's what it takes to get her full, that way the flow would improve. If she's too hungry and wailing tho, supplement with formula until it starts flowing well.

You can buy size 2 diapers, that's what I bought, but don't buy too much cuz you would probably get a lot of gift diapers and they might all be size 2 too. I bought just one pack of size 2 molfix diaper, the one that has 48 or so inside, didn't have to buy again cuz she was using gifts until last week when she grew to a size 3. Right now you still don't know which diaper would be good on her skin so don't buy in bulk yet.

As for baby wipes, is there an alternative?

Pweetiebabe:
You can ask him of d vitamins you need and get it from a pharmacy.

Aiit.Thank you ma

zaynie:
Anugod and Pweetiebabe, your Drs should up your calcium dosage. The one in your prenatals might not be enough. Also increase your intake of milk and calcium rich foods.

Drs here in Rwanda dont give routine drugs

Giddyperson:

Mention the last issue to your doctor at your next ANC so that he can make sure you ain't having contractions, October is still far. For the first two issues, yes that is how 'the thing dey be'

Thank you for the response@Giddyperson

Abeg help a ftm. most times i feel sleepy after eating, i cant sleep with my legs completely stretched out while sleeping on my side, some times i see that my lower abdomen is hard and pointed with an irregular shape. Na so the thing dey be? #teamOctober

AlphaHandMaiden:


@Giddyperson: thanks for the mention.... e be like say you be prophetess! Lol! (The Spirit is strong within you)

I am not selling yet, but I am in a design phase. will be launching later in the year. Na another person drum i been dey beat all this while! Lol!

So watch this space! Will put up some sneak peak pics every now and again and i have a lil' something planned for mamas with November EDDs so who be class caftain? Take note.

Goodfortun - i will keep you posted as to when everything is set. But for the time being a few things to consider.

Modern cloth diapers have very good performance, you just need to get the right quality of products and know how to adjust the absorption to suit your baby's needs.

You will need to change a bit more frequently than using disposables. But that is only a good thing as diaper rash is less of an issue.

No need to use zinc based barrier creams except specifically peescribed (it messes up the absorption) coconut oil or other natural butters work well.

It has a higher upfront cost compared to disposables but it easily pays for itself within 3 - 6 months of usage. There various ways to affford it like buying it in bits, or adding it to your gift list and hinting to friends and family about what you want.

Sizing: One-Size cloth diapers will give you greater flexibility of use as it is designed to be adjustable to fit babies from birth to potty ( about 4.5kg - 15kg) and youcsn even have 2 children of different ages using the same diapers.

There will also be special preemie size diapers for our tiniest bundles of joy as it is evident that many parents struggle to find fitting diapers in the earliest days.

Quantity wise: This will be determined by your budget and how often you wish to wash. (3 days maximum) if you are washing every day or every other day i wouls say get at least 24 diapers as a minimum and a few of the accesories. Although 36 is the ideal minimum for me.

Accessory wise: there are cloth wipes, wetbags to store the soiled diapers, nappy liners to help with poop, snappi fasterners (no need for safety pins).

Styles : I will be stocking styles such as a 2 part system with waterproof cover and absorbent inner. Also All-in-one system where everyhing is sewn as one piece.

Pricing: I will keep you informed but generally will be starting at N1,200 for inserts, N2,000 for covers, accesories from N2,500, N4,200 for All-in-ones .

I hope this helps. Lemme know if you have any other queries

wetin other mamma wey no get Nov edd do you now? Na woman pikin we sef be o. Abeg remember us too in your kingdom

No he meant to say Luanda. Luanda is a city in Angola

You are right that Luanda is in Angola.
But this particular incidence happened in Rwandair. An airline owned by the Rwandan Government. The Nigerian High Commission here in Rwanda is aware of this case.

I live and workin Rwanda. The report reaching me says he was a deportee enroute to nigeria from Dubai via Rwanda
