How do i encourage my 11months baby to eat.i love ha to b a eater but she jst like breastmilk,notin else interest her.pls help

Please leave her alone. She is probably a late bloomer. Just make sure you watch her vitals and confirm she is okay. That's all. A time will come and you will start begging her not to eat too much. If possible you can get WellKid for her (by Vitabiotics Pharm). Very good too. It should be about 1800 to 2000 NGN. Dollar rates fluctuates commodities too fast these days. Ciao

hmm..i no no say daddies knw baby food too oh! Dats lovely..

We know too but the daily pressures takes its toil on men up to the extent that some wives think they are neglected. Afterall the child belongs to both of them.

ideykwum:
Hello guys! This is a wonderful development and I'd like to support in anyway I can! I was recently appointed into a role that can afford more benefits for those interested! Dearpreye, you know I'm in if you're co-ordinating this!! Let me know ASAP, some opportunities are on the front burner!

Hi ideykwum, it's good to have you on board. We need co-ordinators from all states of the federation if possible. So that we can find out where the need is greater. My suggestion is we start with states that corp members are idling away, states where the crime rates are high (if a criminal minded person has something meaningful doing, he will may likely channel his energy to positive use).

Corp members in the house, identify yourself. dearpreye come and blow the trumpet to the NL forumites.

mentorandfriend:
I just replied your mail sir.

Yet to see brother. Please resend

AgapeCharis:
[color=#27408B]This is one great idea. Truly, we never know what we are capable of until we engage our mind. Let me in on the group so we can discuss better.[/color]

Thanks for the compliment. With people like you, we can make it work. Sent you a pm already. Reply with your number.

ndcide:
Then why did we vote for buhari?

One of it was to create and provide jobs.

Was this job reason not one of the reasons we kicked out Jonathan?

Abeg at least Buhari owes us the responsibility of fulfilling his promise on jobs.
A promise is a debt he OWES.

You have a point ndcide, albeit Bill Gates didn't depend on Gerald Ford (POTUS, 1974 - 1977) to provide him a job when he dropped out of Havard to start his company at the age of 21.

So don't wait sorely on the president. Find a gap in the system and fill that gap, which in turn provides sustenance for your and yours and also employment for others.

mentorandfriend:
You could post your email here so we'll send our numbers to you there.

Sent a pm to you boss. Send me your number.

Regards,

(Same goes to you VickyRotex and dearpreye)

VickyRotex:
dfrost, beautiful idea, you've got there. May wisdom never elude.

I'd go with what Mentor/friend suggested. I think a group should be created, to enlighten us more about this proposed project.

Have a beautiful day!

Thanks sis. Wish you the same too. You guys are the reason I contribute to the forum. Wish you a blissful day as well.

mentorandfriend:
This is a bold and brilliant idea. I certainly endorse it.
Perhaps you'd create a whatsapp or BBM group of serious minded folks here so you can lay down this vision clearer to us. Thanks.

Like I said like-minded individuals help each other think better. VickyRotex, dearpreye called me out and it helped me to meet others like you. Iron sharpens iron, no be stone on iron .

How do we go about sharing of the BBM pin and WhatsApp details (obviously phone numbers)? In my line of work, privacy and divulging of information is a critical issue. So what do you suggest mentorandfriend ?

chommyAngela:
pls mummies, which food are u giving ur baby that u love very well?

Dear chommyAngela, so it is only mothers that know the right food? What of men that have lost their wives when the baby was just some days old? So the man will be looking at the baby without providing food abi? What of men that have the interests of their wives and will go to any length to research on the best form of nutrition? In as much as I give kudos to women/mothers, there are men out there that work their asses out to assist their spouse. Haba, you folks should give men some credit na. Na wa oooo. God dey sha...

In between my ranting, Mother's Delight cereal is quite good as Heinz (dhavel mentioned Heinz). The only difference between the two is that Heinz is packaged outside Nigeria, while Mother's Delight is packaged in Nigeria. Heinz and Mother's Delight are manufactured by the same company. Then for formula after six months (for mothers that prefer full exclusive) or within the six months and subsequently, Aptamil and Enfamil are two of the best formulas, albeit quite expensive.

Mixture of grains can also help them out. The problem with some mothers (fathers inclusive) is that they believe if the baby food is expensive, it is the best. Reading up nutritional facts for foods can help. Also pay very close attention to your baby's allergy to some foods.

dearpreye:
Thanks brother. Thanks for your strong and wonderful comments. I'm happy you're here.

Good morning brother.

Good morning too brother. I was thinking of an idea yesterday and wish it to see the light, albeit we need serious minded individuals like you and others like VickyRotex, mentorandfriend, dfrost, AgapeCharis et al that I may not have related with personally.

This is it:

1. Generate a Trust Fund

The active accounts here on NL will soon hit 1,500,000. Why do we need to wait for the government to create jobs for our younger ones when we can secure 50% of the future for them. If you and I and others start donating just a meagre NGN10 (ten naira) per month, we will end up generating close to 15 million in a month. Now comes the best part.

2. Establish Industries

The trust fund will be used to establish industries in each state of the federation such that serving corp members will be trained in various fields and they do not need to pay a dime to learn from the industries. They in turn will acquire skills and also contribute to the growth of the trust funds. Note that apart from the users on NL (I used NL because this is where we have met like-minded individuals), it will also spread to corporate firms/organisations contributing to the Trust Fund.

Training will also extend to those that do not have the privilege of going to school ( it's not easy to be educated, so we should not stigmatise those that didn't go to school or further their education).

3. The Big Picture

The Trust Fund will have succeeded, if managed well, in creating 12 industries every year that will generate funds and train people too.

PS: We should not afraid of certain dubious people hijacking and carting away the money and resources.

VickyRotex, mentorandfriend, dfrost, AgapeCharis, et al I await your prompt comments on this.

dearpreye:
Good morning to you all. Hope you had a great rest?

I'm using this time to express my gratitude to all those who contributed in no little means to the success and prominence of this thread. I can boldly say the thread has achieved and is still achieving the desired noble purpose for which it was created. Its a success because you all added some great stories and comments to it. Thank you!

Thank you all.

VickyRotex, mentorandfriend, dfrost, AgapeCharis, et al.

Keep it coming dearpreye. We are right behind you.

So let's assume that the man/woman accidentally loses the ring finger of the entire hand, what will now happen? the ring should then be inserted as a nose ring or what? I wonder how people think that the ring will make a man/woman not to cheat on his/her partner. The preaching should focus on being faithful and not a symbol of "assumed" faithfulness.

NizyO01:
....yeah u are very right,we want to leave above our means just to impress,someone once told me work now and rest in future or rest now and work in future...thanks for the likes anyways.i wish u everything u want

You are most welcome sis. Ciao

broxymall:
. And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure. james 4:2-3

I totally agree with you on this.

Exactly what is ruining today's youths and society in general. Competition, competition and competition. Always trying to best each other. Was reading a thread two days ago on NL about phone usage. Some were boasting of not using a phone for more than two months.

Find out what you need a phone for. Mails, calls, IM, social media et al.

At the end of the day, all is vanity.

NizyO01:
,afterall what pride are u holding unto when u have nothing,or better still get a passion and develop on it every time u spend waiting is another time wasted.

A zillion likes for your post NizyO01. Exactly my thoughts. What pride do we have in doing nothing?

After my youth service, I got a teaching job eight months later that was paying me 7,500 a month. I wasn't looking at each pixel that made up the picture but the whole picture itself. Sooner or later I started making contacts of kids who had difficulty learning and I was taking them on private lessons after school. At the end of every month, I was making 22,500 aside my salary. There's always a gap to be filled if we focus our minds on the target, never allowing the need to be unattended to.

The greatest failing of our time is youths that indulge in competition and bogus lifestyle.

VickyRotex:
It's really not too to make ammendments. Better late than NEVER!

Yes. Never too late. Bill Gates had to drop out from Havard because he saw something bigger than Havard. Imagine Havard! The lifelong dream of most Americans...

The point is not discouraging schooling but seeing the bigger picture of survival, not dependent on others but on one's abilities and skills. Just like Observant, I've set myself on the path of making sure the society depends on me and not the other way around.

Do we know that instead of becoming the best hand in an organization, why not become a consultant to the organization if they need my skills that bad and provide service to others too?

Those of us who read alot on the Internet and are interested in military, special forces and covert ops will have noticed that America does not let go of their best hands but rather use them for private security and advisory roles.

Blackwater Corp is one of such organizations. They even provide protection for rich Arabs albeit they have a running case with the US Judiciary.

Velocitron:
Best thread ever!

You nailed it Velocitron. One of the best threads on NL.

nochildsplay:
Guy delete your account on here if don't have a point to enlighten us with G for Goat

Nice one nochildsplay. Sometimes I don't comment because before you know it, low IQ minions will hijack the thread and spammers will hit a well-meaning thread like this one.

What has this thread got to do with the President now.

dearpreye:
What I did is hard to forgive. In fact it's treason LOL!

Once again, I'm sorry. Deeply sorry. I mean it.

No shakes man. Apology accepted. I've already commented. The vex no reach my oesophagus.

We need to really help our young ones. They really need love and guidance, honestly.

Observant:
At the moment I am applying to vocational schools to learn a skill in machinery and equipment overhaul and maintenance .

Observant I'm with you on this. The reason why most of us (graduates) are suffering is because we have no vocational skills. Imagine if we spent every Saturday while in school, learning how to make button holes, cutting shirts, designing badges, making chemicals to enrich our African hair to withstand the heat, et al. The point is the list is endless.

I sincerely believe that there is always a need for something in any community we find ourselves in.

It's not too late though. We can make a difference now in order to alleviate the pains that our young ones and wards will face in the future.

Nice thread dearpreye. Nice post Observant. Wonderful contributions from all.

This thread make sense die. No tribal war for once on NL. Good to see that.

VickyRotex thanks once again for the invite. You are one in a zillion

[quote author=dearpreye post=37831433][/quote]dearpreye since you no invite me for this delicious and exquisite thread, I won't comment until you apologize.

Thanks VickyRotex for sharing.

dearpreye, I'm waiting for you... *Hulk Mode Activated *

I ran for a mile and I stopped when I was sure they weren't behind me anymore, and when I returned to the field with my own plank and bottle...

I guess you forgot one more thing: charm. You got me ripping with laughter

Nigeria surely has a handful of talented people. Please Sveen do write a short story and think about a novel subsequently. Thank me later. Ciao

VickyRotex:
lol. Don't mind me
Been a while. I've been good. And you?

I'm okay too. Any chance you've finished reading the first installation of the VF books?

VickyRotex:
Oti lo gbaju

VickyRotex o serious ooo. You invited me so that you can laugh at us bah. Isorite...

Quite some ages... How have you been?

AuntySusan:
[sub][/sub]I've tried to stay away from commenting on politics section but I don't think it's right not to lend my small voice to very sensitive issues

AuntySusan spot on. I've tried as much as possible to avoid commenting too on Politics section on NL.

It really bleeds my heart when I see hate comments. I'm always afraid that I'll wake up one day and someone puts a bullet into my skull.

Please we all need each other. I'll never speak against any leader because my Bible tells me so.

Everyone of us has a reason for grudges (negatively or positively) but not to the extent of killing each other.

Do some of us even know how to live with guilt after killing your fellow human?

Word girl! 1,000,000,000,000,000..., 000 likes for you. One of the most reasonable posts I've seen on NL.

MrPresident1:
Country of dishonest people.
What is so hard in just simply returning what is not yours to its owner?

Religious but wicked people.

My exact thoughts. We all go to churches and mosques and preach at the top of our voices, meanwhile some of us are wicked to the extent that the devil will even shudder.

But MrPresident1 not all of us are dishonest. Remember the airport personnel some time ago.

I understand.

Edo and prostitution is like akara and akamu

Haba bros Bonapart. Your remark is not fair on the decent female folk over there. Let's not generalise the improper deeds of some of them to those that are decent.
