| Family › Blamed: My Child, My Fault by elsietina(op): 1:43pm On Feb 03, 2012 |
This piece is based on a true story submitted to us by a lovely lady who wishes to remain anonymous. When I named her, I was sure of my happiness for her birth. I named her Nkechiyerem, a verbal equivalent for the devoted acceptance of whatever God has given me. It was the best amplification of my emotions at her birth- happy that she was born. And despite all the things that followed from when she was born, nothing changed that feeling- the feeling of the warmth that flooded my body, the feeling that I held in the palm of my hand, a joyful life together. The doctors decided her fate. She was autistic. And then my husband decided my fate. You are responsible for it, he said. read more DeltaWomen: Blamed: My Child, My Fault - based on a true story |

| Family › Begger Girl by elsietina(op): 8:52am On Jan 31, 2012 |
Beggar Girl She was invited to a party, for the first time in her life. She was what everyone thought to be 'the dirty girl'. It was never her fault that she was born to a poor family, to a mother who was an ayah in the big school, to a drunk father who beat her and her mother mercilessly every night after dousing his insides with spurious alcohol. The Principal was kind enough to let her study in class 4. The teachers loved her too. But the other children? Not so much. Her torn uniforms, oily pigtails and rough hands were always a subject of laughter for the others, much to her chagrin. 'Beggar girl-Beggar girl', they chanted each time they saw her. Each day of going to class was like running the gauntlet of a field full of landmines, waiting to explode at the footfall of an unassuming soul. read more DeltaWomen: Beggar Girl http://deltawomen..com/2012/01/beggar-girl.html?spref=tw |

HOW TO MAKE A FOOT MAT FROM OLD CLOTHES I learnt this years ago and thought someone may like it. Recycled items are now everywhere. From water to toys and even household items, everyone has use for recycled items. You would be glad to know there is a way of turning old clothes you don’t wear anymore into something useful for your home. Oftentimes, you have old clothes you feel guilty about giving to charity because you have outworn them.

There is a way to eat your cake and still have it! You could turn your old clothes into a nice foot mat; just follow the simple steps Read more!

| Politics › Two Yemeni Girls In Poland, Sharing Their Thoughts On The Revolution by elsietina(op): 3:19pm On Jan 29, 2012 |
The political maneuverings “Even elections, were a way for the regime to manipulate us” both Sarah and Ghaidaa agree on that. The elections are a condition of a power transfer deal that Saleh signed in November, and Yemeni officials have called them a critical milestone in progress toward ending the crisis. However the ruling party and the opposition agreed to nominate only one candidate, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who is currently the vice president. Some independent candidates are also expected to run. twoassumed some executive duties after the signing of the power-transfer deal in November, but Saleh retains most of his powers, officials say. According to Ghaidaa, the situation in Yemen is very unique. “We are surrounded by Gulf countries, who share common interests with the Americans. Therefore, both are trying to intervene in the Yemeni situation. You can see in the map that Yemen is the only Republican country and it is circled by monarchies. It suits everyone perfectly for the regime to remain the same. If the Yemeni people succeed in gaining their rights, then the people in the other Gulf countries will imitate it, they will be inspired by it.” Read more!

| Nairaland General › The Crushed Orangemust Read! “but You Must Let Me Touch Your Oranges.” by elsietina(op): 3:40am On Jan 27, 2012 |
MUST READ!!!!!!!!!! “But you must let me touch your oranges.” He said. The little girl was puzzled. How else would he take the oranges if he didn’t touch them, her little mind wondered, putting the colourful dreams on hold to ask the strange question of itself. “What do you mean?” the little girl asked him. Her eyes were wide in wonder. Did this mean he wouldn’t buy the oranges? A little hand clasped down on her heart, cold and clammy, covering it with an icy sheet of worry, of worry that there may not be a complete sale after all. “Why don’t you come to my car? I’ll show you what I mean.” He offered. Well, what could it do to her if she went along? Surely, he was going to buy the oranges. If she refused to go, he might refuse, and she would go home empty handed, and then, and then, No. She would go home with money. All those dreams will come true. Read more!

| Health › What Is True Beauty? by elsietina(op): 8:00pm On Jan 26, 2012 |
Do you subscribe to the notion that being beautiful means being thin, or having high cheek bones and terribly defined collarbones? Does being beautiful, to you, mean donning skimpy outfits and looking like a million bucks in them? Or does being beautiful mean looking like a plastic doll, decked up in the finest of jewels and clothes? Get this. 70% of women get depressed after looking at fashion magazines A majority of women would give up 5 yrs of their lives to look different American women spend $40 billion on beauty products and about 2 billion on hair products Americans spend $10Billion per year on beauty products, and much more if you count personal grooming products. If you focus on core beauty products, such as those at http://www.russellorganics.com that include cleansers, toners, and moisturizers then the answer is $10Billion. If you focus on over all beauty such as skin care, hair care, etc such as http://www.spaskin.com then the answer is much higher.

"She walks barefoot long distances several times a day carrying heavy buckets of water, most likely polluted, just to keep her family alive. She cleans, grinds corn, gathers fuel, tends to the fields, bathes her younger siblings, and prepares meals until she sits down to her own after all the men in the family have eaten. Most families can't afford modern appliances, so her tasks must be done by hand—crushing corn into meal with heavy rocks, scrubbing laundry against rough stones, kneading bread and cooking gruel over a blistering open fire. There is no time left in the day to learn to read and write or to play with friends. She collapses exhausted each night, ready to wake up the next morning to start another long workday." read more DeltaWomen: Women have Dreams too! http://deltawomen..com/2012/01/women-have-dreams-too.html?spref=twwom |
