You could use luminous glow in the dark paint. It's low maintenance.
I have only the green color that can last visible up to 8 hours.
How much are the luminous glow paint?

Dear VO,

I know this may not be the best thread to post this, but I could find no thread dedicated to such a question. And as such, pardon the oversight if any.
I have a child that was born in the US, but a number of people are telling me that it is mandatory for the child to visit the U.S. at least once a year. I am not aware of such a requirement and need to confirm this report. Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

cheesy . Don jazzy has been able to keep his acts together over the years. He goes the extra miles.That is why his acts win awards they don't really deserve. I remember when P-square where having better sales than D'banj yet D'banj kept winning the awards whilst P -square screamed bribery. Then the recent out burst from olamide . These all show that Marvin records knows how to play the game and others should learn.
Congratulations once again.

in fact seaside houses are built by top Engineering companies. In Nigeria here, you see seaside houses constructed by fringe bricklayers. Terrible
I couldn't agree more. Perhaps the appropriate building certification authorities should ensure these houses are up to specs.

Lagosians and their tiny brains. Why should you live around a beach? Stupidity
In developed countries, seaside and water view houses are for the upper class. But here, one can only sleep with one eye open just incase the Atlantic decides to take your home for a ride. I remember the government was dropping stone to curb the erosion. The government (Ambode) should also stop the activities of the block moulding industries at the beach who dig sand for block making. The sand ought to serve as a natural barrier but when it is always dug, the sea will keep eroding whatever is left.

Don't worry. Just keep calm. Use the olive oil once a week or every 2weeks, don't put too much pressure on yourself to clean. Just clean like you are gently wiping a surface.
Querylady24:
Really? I have been using my hand to peel the thing blocking my nipples. Will this delay milk? I was told I should also use olive oil and cotton wool to start cleaning from now. Please advise me sister.
There are several ways to address this and ensure milk flow as some people advised already.

Olive oil worked for my wife. If your husband is with you, he should also help in sucking them for milk. You might find it slightly painful initially but his sucking it regularly for milk flow will save your LO a lot of stress upon arrival. Please make sure you clean up to keep it hygienically clean for LO.

Hope this helps.

Your over sabi is astonishing. Excuse me but do you know me, how did you ever arrive at your conclusion of "Knowing fully well you won't be using them" ? I still remember vividly my first post on this thread and the no response it got,I finally got some help here,I posted almost all the steps i took here up till her interview transcripts and finally getting the visa. How you just woke from your hibernation or crawled out from your cave to deduct that I really never wanted to use El Paso beats me. Moreso, You spent a great deal of time with your colour highlighting to all what not analyzing wrongly a post you neither understood nor was addressed to you, I bet if it were a newbie that asked question,You would have been too busy to reply or post the usual " It has been answered before" .

Second off, what gave you the idea that I was blaming anyone for the deductions ?

Thirdly, read that post you quoted very well. It was for people who might be desperate to get visa's ; they don't need to pre-pay hospital/doctors fees cos it won't be an advantage or disadvantage.

As per honesty et all, I leave you to your assumptions. . . Really not in the mood for two-penny-a-piece busybodies.
Very good. EOD

God has been good to me and mine. My "daughter" entered on Monday via JFK and no questions were asked, no secondary inspections or anything.

In my quest to make sure she got the visa, I paid El Paso hospital and Doctors fees in advance against the good advisory I got here. The deductions no be here ooo. $145 refund processing fee for Hospital bill, $250 again deducted from hospital bill and $145 deducted from Doctors fees. That's excluding the registration and Doctors letters. Nearly $750 gone shocked sad . . .Just sharing so no one makes same mistake as I did.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding what I read. You mean you paid El Paso fees fully knowing you won't be using them (I guess that is why you said it was against advise from here)? Well, in that case you wouldn't blame the facilitators as such huge deductions will discourage those who want to simply use their receipts as a route for easier entry into the states. Otherwise, if such is continued, the CBP's will suspect anyone who has even paid ahead (after all, I read somewhere in part 3 that it could also be seen as desperation).

My take from this great thread has always been honesty and presentation of true intentions from the beginning of the whole process . Perhaps it's just my opinion but some things are better off not shared on here.

How safe is it to live Ologolo. I have found a lovely place around Aro town but my fear is a lot of people seem go be lurking around. My wife and I are expecting so I need to be careful about where I choose. I am also Abit concerned about the road. Any advise please?
Aro is not same as ologolo. Although they are in same axis and close. I know a lot of people that have stayed in Ologolo for years. As for Aro, I have heard a few stories and as such I would rather you stay in Ologolo ( especially inside the whitesands beach estate if you can afford it). All the best bruv.

I left Vlesparza's post not because in-thread is allowed but because people have been directly or indirectly profiling other hospitals here even when those hospitals and accommodation providers have stopped placing paid ad in nairaland but they still get mentioned and sometimes given positive feedback.

doctoresparati has been advertising here for a long time now and its only fair that 'sometimes' they are allowed to answer questions relating to their services.

I'm only trying to strike a balance with my judgement.
Okay. Please why do you remove the reviews about hotels and accommodations that people are likely to stay for weeks/ months but leave airline reviews that people will fly for hours? People even drop a certain agent's number for cheaper tickets yet it is left.
I don't see these airlines or agents placing adverts on NL. We need to draw the lines between advertising and giving reviews.
I hope you get my drift. wink

Yes sir, I produce Graffitex paint.
Graffitex is best for exterior. It's costly than most other coating. It's actually a plaster and not really a paint.
It has very thick application coat. Coverage is about 8 sqm per drum.
Cost is N7000 a drum.
The benefit is that is very hard, tough and durable. It could last the building life if I'm not exageratting. Just see it as plastering a building with a decorative finish.

Acrylic is a type of emulsion. The type of binder used determines the type of emulsion.
It could be acrylic or vinyl . Acrylic bssed is the best type though.
Compliments of the season.
Do you have pix of your Graffitex that were applied on walls? If possible show us different samples. I want to believe you can work in the lekki environs.
