coogar:
here comes damiso - the one & only authentic princess of the ijebu kingdom. so are you saying we should count kimoni as an ijebu citizen?

Yes o Kimoni is Ijebu.

coogar:
iperu is not ijebu.....she's just trying to claim. only damiso & shymmex are originally from ijebu. kimoni's village is 30km away from ijebu-ode.

Though ijebu ode peeps are the most cosmopolitan of the lot

Iperu is ijebu...even shagamu is ijebu.Ago iwoye, ijebu igbo, odogbolu etc are all Ijebus.There are even Ijebus In Epe, ikorodu etc..Ijebus are spread far across ogun state and some parts of Lagos.

Kimoni:


Oh Lord..... Damiso well done oooo
This sweating no get part 2 true true
I had to open the windows very wide this morning else I would have passed out

We will get there in one piece sha

Its true ...amen .My thighs are still vibrating

Ewuro4:
They will never listen.

Be established
Get a job
Stop Longthroating
Be content with what you have
Do something
Stop WAITING for prince effing charming coz you can be a breadwinner yourself.

If that's not empowering rather than crying blue murder after being boxed to blue black, I don't know what is.

The bolded is no 1 reason..I know people give poverty as a reason but 80% of those who expect or feel entitled that a man must foot their bills are those who want to carry Chanel bag on an income or allowance from their parents that can only afford H&M.

coogaluta:
e be like say I am carrying last too oo
make I go compile list for my man, biko

OP don't mind me o you have gotten enough good advise.Let her know the functions of your mum and sister/ fiancee are different and so the emotions are different but not inferior or superior to the other.

Ewuro4:
Hehe Dami abeg I no fit laugh.

Yes naa..free money In short I was the sufferhead in ny hostel back then. When people had moved to Samsung/Sony Erricsson phones, I was still using 3310.

In short let me go and tax hubby for all the pocket money he should have been giving me when we were courting

I am making my hair on Saturday he must pay for it

I remember how they would come to sell gold in my office back then and I would excuse myself when it has pased my power, my colleagues would ask why I could not afford it knowing I lived at home and my fiancé was 'abroad' .'Does he not give you allowance' was the question I used to get. 'Allowance' ke am I working for him ni? I never got the compulsory 'pocket money' send weekly recharge card , pay for hair buy mobile phone thing.



E be like say the women in my family like sufferhead We didn't/don't have 'head' for 'allowance' 'pocket money' giving boyfriends chai.Cos I know its the same for my sister. My parents sure did a number on us.

cococandy:
That's a new one.
The fat is crying

Sounds very motivational.

to think I hated sweating with a passion in Nigeria

cococandy:
You look like they poured water on you.
Pele
It's all for good. As Edwife will say, beauty is pain.

See me giving moral support. I never even start

Thank you jare as my friend will say sweat is fat crying

Ewuro4:
Lol. Yeye people. So did you take him in?

I brought him home, he is not himself really not eaten anything solid all day can't keep it down. .he is taking liquids sha lil sips of water. He is asleep now .

I think its the heat or maybe a bug he picked up. Will watch him all night and book an appt with the gp just to fulfill all righteousness. they kuku won't give him anything. UK gps and medication seem to have some kind of beef

He can't go tomorrow sha they can't go in for 48 hrs if they have been sick(throwin up or diarrhoea) Not a good time month end/the beginning of the month I have so many reports to prepare

bukatyne:


Did you just have your bath?

Not in the pic but actually just had a shower to cool down.

Naijababe I too like sleep ni..then na me dey drop off in the morning at breakfast club so mornings are manic in our house..
My son is not even feeling well had to go pick him from nursery (Ewuro's pet peeve ) he was throwing up and just being lethargic.

Naijababe kimoni day 3 done this sweat no get part 2

Kimoni:
Just finished my own Day 2. Used 2 liter bottles of water today. Had a smoother ride this time just that I was panting more cuz of the added weight.

I should upload my progressive journey too, just waiting for Damiso to go first

LOL..

This evening will be my own day 3, I was just too knackered that yesterday especially after the trauma that I had to undergo on the London Underground

You have challenged me was going to downgrade to Tin tomato but I will continue with my 2kg sized weights.

edwife:
Lol that's funny.

@Damiso do you guys also have dialects in yoruba?do you actually differentiate easily where an individual comes from by their way of speaking yoruba?

Yes edwife.. Dialects within dialects sef

waterside and then Remo axis ijebu is slightly different from those spoken by those from Ijebu ode.

I understand ijebu but even find it difficult understanding some konk ones

Happy Canada day Ewuro 4 don't mind us

Naijababe that your chart na true

I should have just fainted.. So they will put me on metro.with that no need for sick note I will just show the metro to my oga

naijababe:
Only thighs, my biceps are numb! IF they could tell stories eh! I swear I almost swapped my weights for 1kg but I dey persevere sha. The colleague that recommended Jillian said the pain will pass, I don't know if I believe her sha

I won't lie I was going to swap to 1kg today or use tin tomato or baked beans

Kimoni:
OP, the feeling is very mutual o. Ijebus do not also like to infiltrate their royal lineage. Shioooooorrrrrrr

Oya one one piece of lace for you

Iya dangote I like this lace o

All of you are complaining .. I thought I was going to faint on the jubilee line today.

No way am I going on that underground tomorrow if it still this hot

naijababe:
Yada yada yada!!!

Damiso, how far? I am pretty sure my thighs will be completely dead by day 10 never mind day 30

I can still feel yesterday tingling in my thighs not even gotten home yet as I am on my way to a naming ceremony in church.

God help me today o this heat na die ... .

You are right.. By the second set of butt kicks towards the end my thighs were so tight God help my thighs by day 5 o.

mutter:
I absolutely support that. I have a buggy and my wrapper.
You get backache from a carrier and you cannot do much with your hands.
There is no where I did not feel comfortable backing my baby.
When I watch some of our young Nigerian girls out here. Punishing themselves instead of simply backing the baby
The funny thing is that the women out here buy an expensive cloth and even go to classes and learn how to ties it. I even saw a woman that constructed something with her jacket so that she can carry the baby on the back. When I walked through the town women stopped me to ask me to show them how to tie the wrapper.

Another very important factor. Spreading the legs wide is very good for the hip bone. So many many adults in the western world have artificial hipbones. This is because their legs were not spread as kids.

I learnt how to back my babies at home, in church when they were getting restless. And it used to really settle them esp when my daughter was a bit colicky.

I never got the courage to try it while out and about.

I don't know why i kept thinking they could slip and fall off my back. Even my mum does not know how to back babies so I learnt from older ladies in church when the babies were getting restless during service.

Depends on your mode of transportation , age and weight of baby.

The baby carrier is good for short journeys maybe you want to quickly dash to the shops to get a few stuff. And till the baby is probably 6 months. After that it starts to cause back ache( at least it did for me). My husband even used it more. With my first i thought it was cos i bought a generic mother care one and decided to buy a more expensive one with back support etc, was the same it was even the more expensive one that i ended up rarely using.

If you drive, you can buy a travel system where you can use the car seat as well as the pram in shopping malls etc. The smaller the better those big buggies just keep bumping into everything and everyone.

chowlade:
d Ijebus r extremely abusive, gullible, Self centered (but not as much as d other tribe knwn 4 it o)

* rolling eyes* emoticon needed. So a self centred person can also gullible?

@ OP they are just stereotypes that have been passed down from generation. Try to deal with people on an individual character basis. Not easy I know cos stereotypes tend to allow you form an opinion about a person.If you can get past it and try to see them for WHO they are and not what their tribe or ethnic background is known for, the world will be a better place.

cococandy:
See what healthy eating has caused me.
Nice dried catfish my aunt gave me since I left it and it spoiled just because I don't know what else to make with it except egusi and all those unhealthy delicious soups.

I feel like kicking myself
it pains me more because these fish are so expensive here. And these are the large size ones.

I blame all of you o.

chai see correct eja osan all gone to waste

Next time, use it to make oil less okra, okra is actually very healthy its all the attachments that we add. And you can use your cauliflower swallow thing.

its paining me too sef chai.

Also someone told me you can freeze them and they will be ok. I hav never tried it though.

You can use locust beans in okra,efo riro (translated to mean mixed vegetable) ask naijababe how to make it she is the expert

and they can also be oil less or made with very lil oil. You can use spinach,kale or collard greens.

naijababe:
That's like 2kg, well done. Are your arms tingling like mine are?

They are o...I wanted to switch to 1 litre bottles today but I wont. Not feeling the tingling that much anymore

God help me to keep up for the 30 days .. amen

naijababe:
Well done. What weight size did you use?

I used two 2 litre bottles of bottled water.

Hubby has 5 kg dumb bells but I neva reash that level. .keep saying il order 2kg ones will def do that now.

Naijababe done

Intense but manageable you are right less pressure on the knees that was my problem with shaun t my knees were about to give way.
Kimoni oya report

Bukatyne and others waiting for you.

Kimoni:
If I am not mistaken, I believe we are saying the same thing just that I see no reason to leave the Bible out of my explanation. I see no reason why everybody else should be free to expresss and practise what they want (freedom of speech) but Christians are expected and encouraged to keep any opinion based on their faith aside in consideration of others.

Pls lemme stop here before I am termed an overzealous or extreme Christian. issssshhhhh

I agree with you .

I was just pointing out the double standards of 'freedom of speech' ni . Of course as a Christian you should be able to express your beliefs in tandem with your faith I.e. Marriage is between a man and woman. But no 'freedom of speech' no reash that one.


Mock people's religion and beliefs and they complain quickly say 'we are entitled to freedom of speech'. why are they being overly sensitive

Person with religion says what they believe, they are zealots

naijababe:
Yes baby, went down a dress size and now wear those fitted shirts tucked into my trousers and skirts with no bulging bits


@ Zemaye, I look forward to you joining us. Maybe we will do ripped together.


Kimoni, Damiso, kilode100, bukatyne, Herzumpther how was day one? I used 2kg weights, damn! my biceps are killing me as we speak.

EfemenaXY & Edwife, you are welcome to join us o, we are all in this together

I woke up late but will do mine in the evening. will report as soon as I finish.

Kimoni:
How Damiso? If one leaves the bible out of it, one will either join them or run mad trying to explain it.
How does one begin to rationalize or explain all these end-time events? See ESPN bypassing true sport heroes and picking Bruce/Caityln instead. How else does one explain that madness?



I am glad Steffano called their bluff when they were threatening to boycott his labels. Those guys are ready to devour even their own. It's as bad as that.

Same thing happened to Snoop Dogg who was bold enough air his views on Caityln and Akon, unfortunately, he still had to bow to pressure and brought down the post. It's a lonely world out there for anybody who wishes to speak what he believes. Kudos to Ben Carson.
The truth is now a crime

I said lets leave the Bible out of it because not everyone is a Christian.

I am looking at it more from the angle of free speech or everyone being entitled to hold their own beliefs even if it is contrary to what you believe.

Imagine the reaction if it was the other way round, and someone said children don't do well in Traditional mother/father families. I doubt it will even be news. People say marriage is crap all the time, people say Christians are nutters who believe that snakes can talk , people say all sorts that's why they say there is free speech. Free speech is not only for when the person is saying what we want to hear, free speech is sometimes having to listen to stuff that you don't agree with but being civil enough to disagree without trying to ram your opinion down the other person's throat.

In my opinion as much people say the west is a free world where everyone can believe or do what they like as long as they don't hurt anyone, its actually far from the truth. And in some instances that's a good thing as some speech can cause offence to others e.g. se.xism,racism and even homophobic hate speech e.g. all gay people should be shot . However, its beginning to cross the line into the force feeding esp from the LBGT lobby group when simply saying I believe marriage is between a man and a woman is seen as homophobia.



.

Let's even leave bible out of it.. The mainstream media can like to talk out of both sides of the mouth ehn.

Everyone was #jesuischarlie in Jan cos the attack was unwarranted and horrible.Everyone was raking you can't defeat us , you can't take away people's rights to freedom of speech bla bla.

Fast forward to March Steffano Gabbana gave an interview that he felt children were better off in the traditional family of a father and mother. He is even gay o but that's his opinion and he was not talking to anybody directly.Elton John sha made himself the gay parent advocate and waged a Twitter war. Within hours zillions of celebrities had joined and #boycottdolce&Gabbana was trending for days.

Like seriously another person is not allowed to have a different opinion? Did he say Elton John should stop being a father to his kids?No he just made his own belief known. Everyone tried to browbeat him into an apology for having a different opinion.

EfemenaXY:
