kaze4blues: With the various reforms that are been put in place by federal govt in the power sector and with the commissioning of several power projects and their addition into the national grid, I believe strongly that things have gotten much better in terms of electricity supply in the country.


Electricity supply in my area has improved greatly over the last one month.
It was initially @ 8 hours out of 24 hours but has now risen to average 20 hours out of 24 hours.

This is a significant improvement on the part of the FG.

Let's know the present electricity situation in your area.

( I reside in ogbomoso, oyo state nigeria)

When power really improves,we wont need an opinion poll to know it!

Table Leg :
You are right .... They blow it up on the internet and pipe it low in the real world!

Womens liberation na wash!Its selective.I know my wife is not going anywhere.I am confident.Know why,cos I pick all the basic bills and give her luxuries her friends can only dream about.
Women na "oshofree".Once u have resources.Relax.They aint going nowhere.

ronkebp: Where is Dayo, he needs to reply to this post.


@Poster beating her will not change the fact that she has beaten your mother, any woman who does that never thinks of tomorrow, and she should in the future, be ready to receive beatings too from her son's wife. She needs to be taught a lesson she will never forget.

If you insult my mother,u get a severe reprimand plus economic and other sanctions.If u raise a finger against het,u r history.U r gone.If U dont leave,I will go and since I own the gold,u know what that means.

femmy2010: This is serious oo.
2 wrongs never makes a right though.[/color][/b]

Really?I gues u would give ur wife a medal

Mrs mansson: One advise I always tell people.Do not buy so expensive and later sell cheaply.what do I mean?you spend millions of naira in acquiring a uni degree and at the end of the day you are rated just within 80-120 thousand naira in the labour market.By the time you are through with your bills how much is left to give to papa who actually spent such money?people keep complaining about our degraded uni.yeah I agree but my friend a lot of brains graduated from such schools and they are doing so well.But my dear Nigerias would never agree oh.

While I am pouring my sweat and blood into raising my kids,I have told my wife that we must carve out our own lives separate from the kids.I am not raising them because I expect that tomorrow they will return the favours I am doing them now.

yellowpawpaw: Unless d wife is not a responsible one,normal family life continues.
I know of a lady in shell,PH.d hubby was somewhere in anambra working too.hubby has to stop cos her own was juicier than his.they tot that he can easily get work in PH with her connection.one month,one year,two yrs.in b/w a car,two cars and a plot of land.we knew cos we were close to them.this man is such a very neat man so he is always cooking,arrangin d house and washing.one day we saw d man dryin some private stuff.we joked with it and d lady told d hubby"shebi I told u to stop all these,u r really embarasin me and pple will think I send u work"
She has to fight seriously to secure a contract job for him.d woman don't know how to drive when she bot d first car.she learn with d 2nd.I learnt a lot from her.
it only requires an understandin man and woman.period.

Forget all these "Superstories".If as a man u no longer have money,u r bleeped.Big time.

monister: what's wrong with the first?

monister

All of you talking have obviously never gone through the process of trying to access the bank account of a next of kin.Lost my sister recently and have spent so much trying to access her accounts.Even if a couple operate separate accounts,please disclose the account details to each other.
I cant tell couples what kind of account to operate,but I think that u should operate a joint account which u will use to sponsor futuristic projects(investments,childrens education, etc) that will benefit the whole family.

Make una talk true o ,make shame catch devil.

9jamum: What’s the single most difficult aspect of single parenting? I know, we all have our different answers as the individual challenges differs from state to state and country to country. I complete agree with the fact that a role meant for two mates now belongs to an individual is enough to break one down with enough stress to last a life time.

However, despite what you read from the media and hear, being a single mother is not all bad news. To encourage our beautiful strong single mothers out there are these tips to becoming a great single mum help ease through the journey.

1.Maintain a relationship with God.
Whatever your religious inclination, talking to your God through prayers and reading your Holy Bible, Quran etc will only require a few minutes or hour of your time in the day. Doing this will refresh your soul, give you inner peace and renewal, hope, especially if you are facing different challenges.

2. Seek out role models:
Single mums and her child(ren) can flourish. The first step is to make a list of other single mums or children raised by single mums who inspire you and refer to it as whenever they are going through a difficult day. The world is amazed how Obama turned out good from such a background.

3. Find a work schedule that suits your life style and family.
Do not be afraid to express your needs to your employers by telling him or her you are a single mum / parent. Most of them will understand and assist you in getting a flexible work schedule.

4. Do not freak out over things beyond your control –  if your child’s father promises to show up unannounced during an event at your child’s school. Do not loose your beauty sleep over it. That’s his wahala not yours!
5. Do make out a ‘me – time”.
Being a single mum is hard work, so you deserve time off every now and then. When you create free time for yourself, you can enjoy going to the salon or spending time with friends after having left your child(ren) in the capable hands of either a baby sitter,  another single mum friend or neighbour.

6. Be yourself.
Do not compete with yourself. This is because, nobody is keeping scores on the unmade beds, unclean breakfast dishes and toys scattered about on some chaotic morning. Please, focus on doing the most important things to avoid lateness for you and your child (dren). These include bathing, getting dresses, having breakfast and leaving for school/ work for both you and the child(ren). You can always get back to doing these chores later.

Finally, this tend to reduce or completely take the pressure off you whilst spending more quality time with your child (ren).

Tip number 1.Before you even think about being a single mother,establish a SOLID business!Just my 50 kobo.

Policewoman: I had my own birth in National Hospital, Abuja a few years back. But the place is in a total mess now. Last week when a friend wanted to deliver and was not dilating enough, they scheduled her for a CS, but said she had to wait till morning cos the Doctors were on strike. So we had to rake for them there o, carry the babe sharp sharp go one private Hospital. There she delivered without issues, not even needing a CS. Try to give birth in a good private hospital if u can afford it.

If you can afford to go to the uk to give birth then getting a good private hospital in Nigeriabshould be a piece of cake.

mrs flawless: I had my first baby at the st. georgies hospital in tooting and it was a mixed experience. My water broke and I went with my husband to the hospital, upon some examination, the nurse told me my water had not broken and it was probably incontinence; I was convinced my water had broken but she wasn't so she sent me back home, ask that I should use pads and then come back to the hospital the following day. I was a bit disappointed(as I had been looking forward to finally seeing the baby that kicks me so much that sometimes it hurts) but went back home all the same.
I kept changing pads throughout the night and showing my husband just so he can be sure but I wasn't having any contractions and the amniotic fluid wasn't really like gushing out of me.
We went back to the Hospital the following day and we were not attended to until about 12.00 noon(partly because I wasn't showing any sign of pain or discomfort)The nurse that attended to me also said that my water had not broken but god of heaven must have intervened and she requested for pads from the other night which I showed to her. Upon showing her the pad, the next couple of hours after was like I was in an episode of doctors or ER. The Nurse ran and got me seated in a private room where all manner of wires connected to a computer were strapped on my chest and my big tummy. The nurse LATER explained that the pad had greenish colour which meant that the baby had poo-ed and could be in distress.
I was later transferred to a room where a Nigerian nurse was on duty. needless to say, she was distracted and didn't notice on the chart when the baby's heartbeat was going off. she apologised to us once things later stabilised. After about 3 hours and with still no contractions and a new team of doctor and nurses resuming shift, the doctor team lead(God bless her heart) said I have o be induced since its about 24 hours that my water had broken and to avoid the baby having an infection; I accepted and called my sis at home to be praying for me.(it was in April and I had earlier lost my mum in April of the previous year) However, as soon as I was induced, the baby reacted and the heartbeat started to drop, the Asian nurse monitoring the screen quickly made an emergency call to the doctor who rushed in and told my husband "I HAVE TO GET THIS BABY OUT IN 15 MINUTES" I was rushed into the theatre and was operated on and the baby- a boy was brought out. he was monitored further and thankfully to God, he was perfectly normal. I was later sown up and given good care thereafter. I was told to ask for anaesthetic anytime I feel pain which I did and they freely gave.
3 years after, I had my second child in an hospital in the Jabi area of Abuja, this time I elected to have a C/S after my Doctor advised all through pre-natal consultation. Now, for someone who had seen Hospitals, Caring Doctor and proper equipment, to say I was disappointed at the theatre would be an understatement. I just kept praying. the floor was bare, no screens, no wires and just the doctors. The only "equipment" I saw was an iron bucket(the kind I last saw during my secondary school days)> But God saved me and the CS was successful. the recovery part was the scary part; I was in serious pains and I kept asking for pain killers but none was given. A doctor at some point told my husband to tell me to calm down and bear the pains since I had just been sliced(her exact words). I at some point fell that life was going out of me and it was just God's mercy that saw me through. I went back home with a very beautiful daughter and a heart full of gratitude to God. I am however very scared to entertain the thought of another child. I would have really love to have one more but my last experience kinda freaked me out.
I hate to compare Countries but I have to say that the Medical Team in UK showed that they "owed" me a duty of care and also they would have been questioned if anything had happened to me or the Baby but the Nija guys were all over the place, no cohesion, no duty of care and all.
I pray that that pretty CEO rests in peace and may God have mercy on all of us but just maybe it could have been different elsewhere.

Sorry to burst your bubble but this thread is about childbirth in NIGERIA!

aysometin: Hi All,

We all must have heard about the CEO of Ewar makeovers passing away due to complications arising from Childbirth, she was a friend therefore I am heart broken.

Since the story broke out yesterday, I have heard so many scary stories about having your child in Nigeria both from people offline and online. A friend actually told me she was given general anaesthetic and oxygen finished during the process, God saved her.

P.S this is not a UK/US is better than Nigeria thread as we all live in different regions and have different purses. If you have had bad experiences abroad too, feel free to share. I just want mothers to share their experiences and maybe reccommend good hospitals to expectants mothers and also name and shame the bad ones.

I suspect the Dads will have more stories to tell as they do all the running around when the woman is in labour or having a CS.

Sorry ut this threadvus about childbirthnin NIGERIA!

Times are not easy.So as not to place the load on anybody"s head,they should levy themselves.If 200 people pay 80k each:the money wey no reach to buy note 2,the money never complete?
Alternatively,if Dbanj,PSquare,Whizkid,Tu Face organize show,the money never complete?

This car"s engine has been tampered with.

pistons2: Interested. But I need the VIN please to verify the mileage. 29k in a registered 07 sounds like a rolled back mileage.

The mileage of this motor get comma.

techie: @Tsiya I know the feeling I am a night person waking up most nights around 2 to 5 a.m if I stay in the same room with my wifey she complains I am disturbing her with moving up and down, If I go to another room she complains of abandonment!

She is passing you a message.Decode and reply appropriately.

chaircover: I wouldnt use a word as strong as theif but it is definitly bad manners to remove money from someone elses wallet/purse without letting the person know.

The danger is that the purse/wallet owner has a false sense of security, thinking that they have a certain amount in their purse/wallet but in actual fact all or or some of that money has been removed which is very bad news in an emergency

In theory, the family purse money should belong to both husband and wife but that is at source (e.g joint account) but not at individual level eg money placed in a personal wallet or purse.

This your head correct well well!

Majek still has a few rough edges that need to be smoothened out.But he is more coordinated than 2 years ago.Majek is on his way."MAJEK WILL RISE AGAIN"

This guy had the chance to say everything that happened at the Oputa Panel kept on prevaricating...Let him rot in hell.Power is fleeting,vanity!

blink182: I'm OK with internet banking, Gtb seem to have issues with their mobile money they are always advertising.

How does the GTB MOBILE APP.I have downloaded it to my tablet but cannot register.It aways says it is tryingto connect to server.
Useless!

I think both D banj and Jazzy are the losers.There is something missing from the 2.Since they split,something has been missing.D banj"s recent hits are fleeting and lack the Jazzy touch while DJ hasnt been able to find an artiste he can flow withthe way he worked with Dbanj.

chelseabmw:

Only 2 cars na him she dey make noise?Poverty!

Was great growing up.Now I look at my kids and they take so much for granted.But these traditional things are what keep the African and Asian Communities going.Their kids have a firm grip on reality.We may live in New York but we know where the lines are drawn.

POVERTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Your own food combination bad pass mine?[/quote]

kennyosein: 1. Don’t smoke : Experiments from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher)

2. Don’t eat fruits immediately: Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruits 1 -2 hours after meal or 1 hour before meal.

3. Don’t drink tea: Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the protein content in the food we consume to be hundred thus difficult to digest.

4. Don’t loosen your belt: Loosening the belt after meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted and blocked.

5. Don’t bathe: Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs and body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease, this will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

6. Don’t walk about: People always say that after ameal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.

7. Don’t sleep immediately: The food we intake will not be to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric and infection in our intestine.

The guy got what was coming to him.Bisalla did a fantastic job.If Murtala had remained HOS for 2 years,he would have Boko Harammed Nigeria and implemented Sharia by force.
Nigerian should develop better memories and stop turning genocidal maniacs into war heroes.
