Romance / Re: Twitter User Apologizes To Girl Who Refunded His Date Money, Sends Back The 5k by chrispratt: 12:51am On Mar 31, 2017
Benita27:
Have been reading the whole story like all day. Inasmuch as the guy couldn't stand rejection, the girl was also at fault here. Why would she lead him on if she wasn't interested in having a relationship with the guy?. You define your relationship from the beginning, and spending on you would be his call to make to avoid being indebted to anyone.

People go on dates just to have a good time. That is not the definition of *leading someone on*.

She told him outright she wasn't interested in a relationship.

Possibly she went out with him and at the end of the date decided he was not her type.

To lead him on would mean she didnt tell him of her disinterest while repeatedly going out with him.

Not every single date leads to relationship and marriage

Stay blessed


My dear I'm married oh and just like you, I appreciate him so much when I see posts like this as well as the *advice* people have to give. All the popular ones like

Love him more
Don't provoke him to beat you
Buy him condoms and lube to help him cheat safely
Watch *war room* (a fictional story by the way)
And my personal favorite: Men are polygamous in nature.

I'm married to someone who neither cheats nor beats me, he loves me, treats me with respect and is a great dad. I'm know now that is a rare occurence. I'm happy that you also have peace of mind in your home.

Health / Re: 9-Week-Old Baby Suffers From Skin Change Due To Baby Formula [PICS] by chrispratt: 2:53am On Aug 10, 2016
sapiosexual1:

Ofcus formula is started if a mom can't breastfeed immediately after birth esp for those who underwent CS, have retracted nip.ple.s, were separated from the baby for some time after delivery.
There could also be some rare instances where milk isn't produced in sufficient quantity for a while, obviously due to ductal problem. Buh 9weeks!!
My sister, this woman in question just wanted to feel like a hipster mom and she got served with a life lesson.

Also, if milk isn't produced in sufficient quantities immediately or soon after birth, it's less likely to be produced as time goes on. It *dries up* so to speak if the mom is not nursing frequently and adequately. 9 weeks is a long time. It can happen, but with serious intervention and it also depends on why the mother didn't lactate initially.

Also, breast is best, but formula is not poison. The only risk to formula in developing countries is availability of clean water. Some babies are also lactose intolerant or may have other digestive issues that keeps them from thriving on breastmilk. They need specialized formula to survive.not to mention some families cant survive one one income so the mom has to return to work after limited maternity leave. How many breaks can she get at work to pump? Where would she pump? Office toilet? Our society is not sympathetic to nursing moms. Some (developed) countries give as much as one year maternity leave with 50-75% pay after 6 months. Some offices have lounges where mothers can pump in privacy. Some offices have crèches attached to them so that the babies can be with a nanny during work hours while she takes breaks to breastfeed. a woman doesn't breastfeed or pump for 8 hours in the office, her supply may dry up. I'm passionate about breastfeeding but I'm more passionate about babies that are fed- either way

So after all the noise about exclusive breastfeeding, a Nigerian mom introduced supplementary feed at 9weeks! I think thats wickedness and she deserves what she got.
There is a reason why exclusive breastfeeding is advocated, it's not just a slogan or a cliché.
Pls pls pls leave God out of this, Nigerians often do stewpid things and then annoyingly go hyper-spiritual when the consequences arise.

I copied and pasted this from my reply on a similar thread. Read below.

"Some women really can't produce breast milk. I know someone who is a lactation consultant in the US. Her job is to coach new moms on how to successfully breastfeed. Contrary to what people think, it doesn't come naturally. Yes it's natural, but it takes practice for both the mother and baby to get it right, in addition to the Tip pain no one warns you about. So lactation consultants are really helpful.

However this particular L.C. had a baby and did not have any milk supply to breastfeed. She drank all sorts of herbs, nothing helped. She was heartbroken. She had to resort to formula.

Bottom-line, not everyone that wants to breastfeed is able to. Formula is not poison. It was made specifically for babies' needs.

After all when all is said and done and we grow into adults no one knows or cares the difference between who was a formula fed or a breastfed infant. It's certainly never been on any form I've filled nor an interview question.

We all know that breast is best, but formula comes in at a close second. I'd rather have a formula fed baby than a starved baby. This is coming from someone who breastfed for way over one year."

Milk formula ain't that bad especially for working mums. Exclusive breast feeding work in a situation where you can stay with your baby 24/7 for six months. Boys are even worst in sucking excessively. Some people can only tolerate certain level of milk in there system and maybe in this case there is soya in the formula. May God continue to protect us.

I just want to touch on the whole *boys suck excessively thing*

Personally I think its a myth in an attempt to maybe sexualize breastfeeding? I don't know. Maybe because boys grow into men to like boobs for sexual purposes? I'm trying to understand.

My own personal experience, I have a boy and a girl. My girl breastfed way more often and for a longer duration that my boy. I always roll my eyes when I hear or read the whole *boys breastfeed more* thingy.

faustinalove:


my dear, i met a priest here in abuja and all he could do was to take sides with my ex and blame me for getting pregnant begore church wedding. u know how d catholic church can protect its own(especially d rich ones). He found out my ex is d currrent youth president of his parish at lagos so he had to protect him.

I'm sorry for your experience with the priest. Not all of them are like that. I'm a catholic too so i know. Try not to lose faith because of this. Most African men are misogynists even priests. How sad. They'll blame you for getting pregnant forgetting that you didn't impregnate yourself.

Moving forward in relationships be honest about your past but be sure to not settle for an uneducated or unenlightened person. Even some so-called graduates are unenlightened and lack exposure. And please get to know someone before making up your mind about marriage.

I'm sure you don't need so much advice. From your first paragraph I see you're putting this out as a cautionary tale so that other ladies can learn.

Just be strong from now on and I wish you all the best in life.

You will be okay.

Op I read your story to the end,same thing happened to my sister but she kept her pregnancy,everybody in rhe family supported her, the child she has is a darling to all,nobody jokes with her.

She's was a single mother until she got married again and the man is not a divorcee, the husband is fully aware of her past.

She has a child for the husband now and they hard to travel down to Lagos from Abuja for her to select the car she want.

Maybe if your parents and siblings were more supportive to u when your ex started showing his true colors, you won't have let go of the pregnancy.

In all I still woud not condemn you for what you did.


If I narrate my sister experience @ Op you would see yours is even better.

Yes but in OP's case she had no support from her family, is the eldest child so probably they were looking to her to start earning money or to become a meal ticket for them through marriage. A baby is hard even for a married couple with support. How much more a young single dejected girl. All her parent could offer was to *beg him [fiance] again*

The fact that it ended well for your sister doesn't mean everyone's case is the same.

I don't have a problem with the dress. But if I were the bride I wouldn't be happy with this guest. The bride should be the centre of attention at her own wedding. As a guest you can still dress sexy without overdoing it. You can wear this to a random party, or to your own wedding, but it's inappropriate on someone else's wedding day.

Family / Re: Why Do Nigerian Ladies Grow Out Of Shape When Married? by chrispratt: 3:29am On Jun 29, 2016
tomquest:


Oh yes some men gain weight and pot belly. That's a topic for another thread (probably there's a thread on NL which explores the subject).

Talking about pregnancy, do you think that the weight gain during the process is irreversible? I could mention [b]well known Nigerian ladies who are still in a fantastic shape even after putting to bed.

[/b]From my own little observation, too much food coupled with lack of exercise is the biggest contributor.

These well known Nigerian ladies you speak of most likely have nannies, househelps, cooks who cook healthy meals, maybe personal trainers, and time to exercise. Have you ever spent your day caring for the needs of a little child? Or two? Or three? Overseeing the housework at the same time? Not having enough sleep thanks to said children? Going to the market? I don't know where you live, but not every road can be used for walks. Our roads aren't pedestrian accessible and a lot of areas are flooded, etc. Probably, this could be someone's reality.

Just another way of looking at things. Oh and lets not forget depression from a number of issues. Some people eat when they are sad. When a couple have children, esp in Nigeria, the man's life goes on as if nothing changed. He can travel and do whatever he wants without having to drag the kids around with him. Unlike a mother who cannot even got to the bathroom without your kids following you. All I'm saying is instead of making sweeping generalizations, look at the bigger picture.

I don't doubt that a lot of people both men and women don't know what to eat in order to stay healthy, but not in all cases. And it doesn't apply only to Nigerian ladies. More than a third of American adults are obese. Both male and female. So I don't think it's just a fufu issue.

Romance / Re: My Fiancee Confessed She's HIV+ After I Proposed To Her. Please, Help by chrispratt: 4:30am On Jun 20, 2016
histemple:
For those of you asking if he had unprotected s3x with her, he could have unprotected s3x without contracting the virus.
A man contracting the HIV from a lady is very slim except there are cracks. But a lady contracts it immediately a male carrier ejaculates in her, no matter the quantity of fluid.

Back to your concern OP. You may have to be sure that she isn't pulling your legs to watch your reaction. She may possibly be trying to gauge how you will tolerate or discriminate against disability.

If it's so difficult for men to contract HIV, then where did the women contract it from? Didn't infected women contract it from men who contracted it? Or did all the infected men have *cracks* on their p3nises? Just wondering

Annie & her kids, Peros and Sumbo kids are all sharing one love (tuface)

All the kids comes first before her. He had them before he married Annie.

You married tuface and its so unfair not to accept his kids. She is their step mother and 2nd mother to them.

This is hard but relaxes situation }
Annie should reach out to the baby mamas and try to build a talking relationship with them for the benefit of the kids in order to stop
her hubby hiding and sneaking behind her her back to do things for his kids. She has to make it easy for him and show interest in them. .

She and her children should always send birthday presents and gifts to the other kids and encourage communication between the children. She can start by by asking dad to give them a call and her and kids saying hello to them and their mums , then ask if they would like to visit them. Find out about their schools , birthdays, allergies, what they like , pet names etc.

Trust will start building between the baby mama s to be able to release their kids to one another for visit or go on holiday with them. It enable her Hubby to open more to her.

She has to do more by accommodating them.

In a good situation Annie's kid could also be at the birthday with their dad. Even though she could not be there , someone *Annies sister or cousin* can take and look after them them for the few hours of the party .

A smart wife will be way ahead of Hubby in this game. I can see Sumbo playing this kinda game better sha!

As a matter of fact, if you have not travelled outside the country, you wont understand the fact that the medical practice in Nigeria is suicidal.......where you can just go to any pharmacy and buy antibiotics or a doctor will just write something for you and tell you to go buy it at any pharmacy.....in advance countries (though i have not been to somany but in Canada) that doesnt happen....even if you are dying in front of the pharmacist, they will never sell you any antibiotics without a proper, well detailed precription note from a doctor and all your details would be written on the drug container. The only drugs you can buy at will are pain killers and cough syrups

You're right and even abroad not all cough syrups are sold in the pharmacy. The ones with codeine are usually prescribed too. Then come to talk of fake drugs in naija. Na wah.

sometimes this is not the fault of the person that gave the injection but the fact that after the injection was given, it wasnt rubbed well and in turn caused an abscess

Abscess is not caused by lack of rubbing. At my kids' hospital we are advised not to rub. Injection abscess is quite simply, an infection at the injection site.

What I'm trying to say is that don't waste your time for a man that would not make his own decisions regarding whom to marry. This is 2016. Girl, you don't want to settle for less, no time to waste.

If you want to wait around for him to change his mind that's on you, but that was my experience.

Health / Re: Top 10 Fertility Myths Debunked by chrispratt: 5:19am On May 04, 2016
Zellie:
Err.. Breastfeeding is actually a form of natural birth control. A woman secretes oxytocin into her bloodstream by the posterior pituitary gland when she's breastfeeding, for milk let down. Oxytocin contracts the uterus and also secretes prostaglandins that strengthen the contractions, making it impossible for anything to stay in the uterus..

Infact, oxytocin is sometimes used to induce labour (to aid contractions when it doesn't start early enough) during childbirth ... So its not a myth, its actually a fact, that breastfeeding is a form of birth control!

I got pregnant while breastfeeding...
