Pls who has had their newborn at 3.8kg via vaginal birth. I’d really like to try natural birth but the size of the baby is kinda scaring me.

whoever has given birth to 3.8 via vaginal birth definitely isn't you. Their bodies and yours are different.
Some can do even 4.0 while 3.5 might be too big for others.

Follow your OBGYN advice. If s/he prescribes CS, accept it without thinking twice. That's simply the best for you. God gave man the knowledge of CS for a reason. The goal is a happy mother healthy baby, healthy father, happy doctor.

I wish you a safe delivery.

DoveofPeace:
Thanks great mum, I just don't know but some people call it "segede" in our yoruba dialect.

Now, they prescribed another thing to use which we are observing its outcome presently.

Thanks once again

Take that boy to see a pediatrician please. A poorly treated mumps can affect fertility, especially in males, later in life.

It can affect few other organs too.
Get him properly treated by a pediatrician.

Regards to him and all yours.

Which one is “the typical Yoruba’s list”? You do marry before, or how many marriages have you attended? Or you think that marriage lists are the same across Yoruba land. Na so una go dey defend wetin una no sabi.

lolll
Yes, I don marry before and I know the Yoruba culture in and out. I studied it formally sef.

At least 60% of the items on that list aren't cultural.

In the Yoruba culture, nothing like bride's item section.

Imagine Maltina, 5alive, Coke, Goat, Cow in a Yoruba's bride's list?
The is even no alligator pepper on the list

Items on the list are symbolic. Yam, oil, salt, honey aren't because they would eat them. But apparently, things are changing which is even showing in the quantities of these items they now normalized these days.

Owo Omo Ile, Owo Omo Osu we know. What's Owo Okunrin Ile? I'm sure the elders in that family don go finish or they trusted a woke person to handle the list.

You can pick up even a secondary school Yoruba textbook and read up Asa Igbeyawo if you care to know the culture or use AI to generate a summary from academics sources.

Looks more like a freedom list actually

goslowgoslow:
Mr stop talking thrash! In Yoruba land the wifes side spend more on all these things, they are basically the ones that takes care of the reception of course the husband can assist. I bet you are probably not a Yoruba man or your are from a greedy family that doesn't follow the true Yoruba tradition.

Don't mind him.
In the Yoruba tradition, the bride's family are hosting their visitors (the groom and his people). Do you collect money from your visitors before giving them nice threat?
It's also seen as the celebration, honor to the bride, and appreciation to the Lord for a successful girl child upbringing. Whatever "burden" you place on the groom, you're simply saving it for the bride when the wedding is over and the marriage starts

However, in the same tradition, a visitor is expected to reciprocate the threat. Under informal agreements (not like the ones on that list), the groom and his dad would support to lighten the heavy expenses on the bride's dad. It's a mutual agreement thing, to make the day glamorous for the uniting family.

Rich families don't have these issues because, the bride's family would even find it insulting that you want to give them things they need to entertain you.

For the less priviledged families, it's a thing of mutual understanding and consideration to assume shared responsibilities. Infact, there are families where the groom's family will pick all bills (based on the situation of the bride's family) in order to have an event befitting their status.

Mynd44:
I know someone who got married and her dad gave her a list to give her husband to be and told her to edit it as she wants to the financial capacity of her husband.

That was considerate. This Iwo list is nonsense

That's not "Iwo list" but that particular family's list which doesn't represent the typical Yoruba's list. A lot of strange items on that list.

kingthreat:
Why add a full Malu? Yoruba bridal lists are getting more expensive like that in the South East.

I think the elders in that family have all died because, that list doesn't reflect the typical Yoruba bride list.

They have started importing strange things into it.

Ambivalent US

They need Iran's cooperation on Hormuz for global energy sanity & at the same time they need to protect their ME annex (Isreal) which Iran's annex (Hezbollah) is threatening.

Man is broke af
I wonder how he squandered all his earnings during his active football career days.

Man had a flourished football career.
It's really a pity

He lacked discipline. A pity

oliverjiad:
for such to happen consecutively either the yard it was parked at or ur driver or some u entrust it knows about it

These what I do I check the vehicles before taken delivery at the terminal if anything missing the terminal would be responsible, but theft is a thing that we find it hard to curb in the terminal, what I'll advice is send in ur document in time and engage ur agent too in time

Jaid

Provided agents Telex or BoL as the case may be immediately shipping line made them available (usually days before vessel even arrived) on all occasions.
Used two different agents for the three.

If I use RORO and you as the agent, do you guarantee that the experience will be different this time around please?

oliverjiad:

We appreciate your help always sir.

Please, my previous three RORO experiences were terrible. All catalysts gone on first two occasions while the amplifier stolen on the third.
Is there a way to prevent this please?

I'm almost decided on using container but the satisfactory units I'm seeing aren't close to my container shipper's yard.

oliverjiad:

Jaid

Hello. What's OD please?

How much to clear Hyundai Sonata 2015,2016,2017, and 2018?

Is it same cost for containerised and RORO?

Thank you.

I bank with GTBank and have been doing so for over 15 years and so far I have never experienced any of these types of issues

I used to say this till their last year's system upgrade or what did they call it.

GTCo is a terrible bank. Don't wait till you learn from experience.

Last year when I abandoned the account made it about 13th year with them. I had some issues which I overlooked over these years but last year's was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

I strongly doubt a very active account can be operated for that long with GT without issues.

I think they're feeling the exodus of customers because few weeks ago, they sent this attached email. I'm sure it's a broadcast campaign to recently fleeing customers

Stanna2025:
After gt stole my 400k plus during there stupid upgrade of October that year, I can never advice anyone to patronize that bank. They are crooks ND theives

I stopped using them this period. I couldn't track my transactions, so I didn't know if they stole from me.

They made everything clumsy that I was totally confused. No transaction history, alerts of previous months kept entering. This was a very active account that manual tracking wasn't appealing.

It got to a point I just emptied the account and bade it farewell till date.

Where were they when their kins were harassing black foreigners?

They just found their voices to call them to order.

I don't know why people go to SA to do menial jobs sef. I would rather go do that in Afghanistan than in SA.

Arrowhead71, I hope you are learning?
I didn't reply your earlier mention because the topic seems too advanced for you.
It's not emotions, but pure realistic and open mind analysis

Iamblessed8888:
@ Bolded, you’re right. These guys view death differently than we do. I also take a pinch of salt when people celebrate bombing and killing of terrorists. They dont care snd are even happy to die. They see it as being “martyred”

Infact i watched one interview where an iranian scientist was saying he feels envious that his other colleagues has been martyred and he is still here.

The middle easterners dont scramble and run in the face of danger.

It's one orientation that the West do not understand in military dealings with ME.

A Western country of Iran's military capacity would put something in the tone of their killed Supreme leader and school girls as part of the negotiations at least.
It doesn't even appear in all of their demands.

To me, Iran has won the war. Their government intact, Uranium enrichment intact, billions of dollars to be gotten from freed frozen asset, "compensation" to rebuild damaged structures, and strait tolls, stronger alliance with China, Russia and N. Korea. They gained alot.

Their killed leaders and citizens, still massive gains in their orientation because they're seen as martyrs.

When you watch news and interviews of ME people, you'll understand their thought processes regarding death, especially in wars. An ordinary citizen so desire to be killed sef.

Trump just used his stubbornness to put the whole world in pains courtesy of energy crises. Inflation everywhere.

Iran's Uranium enrichment still intact.
Regime change not achieved

Iran's frozen asset which they weren't asking of is now to be released to them
Strait of Hormuz now to be tolled

US burnt and lost about 3years of ammunition and defense stockpile which they're now striving hard to replace.

US exposed itself more to bigger rivals like China and Russia

US added a reputation of bombing school children to its historical "fame"

Isreal is now more exposed to ME enemies as Iran now has more understanding of the workings of Israel's defenses

Iran lost its Supreme leader, top military and government officials who have been and will be replaced. One of the most pointless persons to fight is he who doesn't fear death. These people do not see death as a loss.

alobright17:
That means Us really blocked the passage not IRAN .

IRAN was only playing stubborn now the won’t be going back with their Nuclear plans again which is the only thing US was fighting for .

USA eventually won .

Now fuel should drop in price .

Shame on Russia and South Africa.

Go and listen to Trump's speech of February regarding the objectives of the war. Were they met? Don't reply before listening to it again.

By the time Trump is done with USA...
From economy, to foreign policy, to security, to immigration...

Any individual producing fake foods, drinks, or drugs is not fit to live. They should be sent to their makers.

Any individual kidnapping, killing, raping, and terrorizing people is not fit to live. They should be sent to their makers.

Any individual harvesting or trading human parts for whatever purpose is not fit to live, they should be sent to their makers.

Not until we're able to protect the sanctity of life, make harming or killing a life or soul grave sins, we are not ready.

Ttipsy:
you are a joker
A disgrace to what education means

O ne more shot of your tasty tears. Shed more for me baby

Ttipsy:
I can’t comprehend what you are saying
Absolute nonsense

So in your view; democracy is designed to have failures as leaders??
Hmm

Your tears is sweet. Pour some more for me to sip

I hope they won't be attacked and demonized.

Mr A supports his candidate, he's smart. Mr B supports his, he's a bigot and evil.
No be same democracy?

MC Oluomo threatens opposition supporters in Lagos, he's evil.
Chinedu harass opposition supporter in Ebonyi, he's an hero of democracy.
No be same democracy?

Trump has successfully unleashed a fresh scale of dangerous potential in Iran.

He wants a deal badly and running helter-skelter to secure one. Iran's 14 point demands are clear victor's demands and Trump, now not minding the vanquished tag, is finally giving in. $12 in seized assets ready to be released to Iran,oil sanctions to be lifted, funds to rebuild Iran lol, reduction of US presence in the ME etc.

Trump simply bit more than he could chew. These deals exposes Isreal to future Iranian aggressions. It's sad he had to go this far to see what Obama easily saw from white house.

US may end up being Iran's ATM to protect Isreal.

Strait of Hormuz will never be free again. I hope they can name the tax "Trump tax".

The concept of super power is actually overrated. Some countries are no doubt more powerful than others but definitely not on the scale we have been made to believe. Russia and USA aggressions lately confirm this.

It's only with mutual respect and responsibilities that peace can reign in the world.

stuffs2002:
Very true.

That is why the south east will never be president because they lack the ability to form alliances

The newer generation of politicians are trying to reform this but the average SEner is too emotionally driven to align with them.

The domineering, elitist, and "better than thou" mindset that costed their ancestors the early governance advantage they had is even being taken to an higher level by the younger ones of today.

The numbers, they don't have.
Soft alliance forming approach, they lack.

Today, they feel they can bully their way to the presidency by voting massively for their son, then use propaganda to project the numbers.

Again, politics is neither emotion nor bitterness. It's how you can garner the numbers, not necessarily from your own people. Just get the numbers!

How will you get the numbers when you're paranoid? Only you go abuse Niger Deltans, demean Northerners, abuse SWners, berate Middle belt people.
Then claim, you're the right one while all of these others are wrong.

How you can allow your people to freely express their choices, so that they're present in every cohort such that any group that wins have your people.

Not by suppression or mob action against opponents.

Ttipsy:
Igbo votes are for intelligent candidates who they feel will deliver and not for jokers that I have noticed

This self consolation is predictable. It's delusional tho

Democracy wasn't actually designed to produce the most intelligent and most qualified candidate. It has never and will never do so, even in the most advanced democracies of the world.

How will a system that gives even a mentally retarded illiterate adult the same choice right as a well educated smart one produce an intelligent winner?
