[quote author=Biliamin post=37141264]LETTER TO NIGERIAN PARENTS written by Adeyinka Temitope

I wish to start by adding the benefit of my time as a student and then resident in the UK. Living in Abuja now.

The first thing that I discovered about UK-born, white, English undergraduates was that all of them did holiday or weekend job to support themselves – including the children of millionaires amongst them. It is the norm over there – regardless of how wealthy their parents are. And I soon discovered that virtually all other foreign students did the same – except status – conscious Nigerians.

I also watched Richard Branson (owner of Virgin Airline) speaking on the Biography Channel. To my amazement, he said that his young children travel in the economy class – even when the parents (he and his wife) are in upper class. Richard Branson is a billionaire in Pound sterling. A quick survey would show you that only children from Nigeria fly business or upper class to commence their studies in the UK. No other foreign students do this. There is no aircraft attached to the office of the Prime Minister in the UK. He travels on BA. And the same goes for the Royals. The Queen does not have an aircraft for her exclusive use.

These practices simply become the culture which the next generation carries forward. Have you seen the car that Kate Middleton (the wife of Prince William) drives? VW Golf or something close to it. But there’s one core difference between them and us (generally speaking), they (even the billionaires among them) work for their money, most of us steal ours
If we want our children to bring about the desired change we have been praying for on behalf of our dear country, then please, please let’s begin now and teach them to work hard so they can stand alone and most importantly be content and not having to “steal” which seems to be the norm these days.

We have Nigerian Children who have never worked for 5 minutes in their lives insisting on flying “only” first or business class and using the latest cars fully paid for by their “loving“ parents.

I often get calls from anxious parents” my son graduated 2 years ago and is still looking for a job, can you please assist!”

“Oh really! So where exactly is “THIS CHILD?” is my usual question. “Why are you the one making this call dad/mum?"

I am yet to get a satisfactory answer, but between you and i, chances are that the big boy is cruising around Abuja with a babe dressed to the nines, in his dad’s sparkling new SUV with enough “pocket money” to put your salary to shame. It is not at all strange to hear a 28 year old who has NEVER worked for a day in his or her life in Nigeria but “earns” a six figure “salary” from parents for doing absolutely nothing.

I see them in my office once in a while, 26 years old with absolutely no skill to sell apart from a shiny CV, written by his dad’s secretary in the office. Of course, he has a driver at his beck and call and he is driven to the job interview. We have a fairly decent conversation and we get to the inevitable question- so, what salary are you looking to earn? Answer comes straight out – N250,000.00.

I ask if that is per month or per annum.

“Of course, it is per month”

“Oh, why do you think you should be earning that much on your first job?”

“Well, because my current pocket money is N200,000.00 and I feel any employer should be able to pay me more than my parents.”

No wonder corruption continues to thrive. We have a society of young people who have been brought up to expect something for nothing, as if it were a birthright.

Even though the examples I have given above are from parents of considerable affluence, similar patterns can be observed from Abeokuta to Adamawa.

Wake up mum! Wake up dad! This syndrome – “my children will not suffer what I suffered" is destroying your tomorrow. You are practically loving your child to death.

I learnt the children of a former Nigeria Head of State with all the stolen (billions) monies in their custody, still go about with security escort as wrecks. They are on drugs, several time because of the drug, they collapse in public places. The escort will quickly pack them and off they go. What a life! No one wants to marry them.

Henry Ford said “hard work does not kill.” We are getting everything wrong in Nigeria now, including family setting. It is time to prepare your children for tomorrow, the way the world is going, only those that are rugged, hard working and smart working that will survive. How will your ward fare?

Please forward this to all the parents you know and love. We must begin to save our young children from unintended consequences of "too much love" and weak parenting. It is the only way we can build a strong and decent Nigeria.

[quote author=MegMich post=37073655]From the little history you got. She's got dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is the medical term for the painful cramps that may occur immediately before or during the menstrual period.

There are two types of dysmenorrhea:

1).primary dysmenorrhea and
2).secondary dysmenorrhea.

Primary dysmenorrhea is another name for common menstrual cramps. Cramps usually begin one to two years after a woman starts getting her period. Pain usually is felt in the lower abdomen or back. They can be mild to severe. Common menstrual cramps often start shortly before or at the onset of the period and continue one to three days. They usually become less painful as a woman ages and may stop entirely after the woman has her first baby.

Secondary dysmenorrhea is pain caused by a disorder in the woman's reproductive organs. These cramps usually begin earlier in the menstrual cycle and last longer than common menstrual cramps




.
What Are the Symptoms of Menstrual Cramps?

The symptoms of menstrual cramps include:

*.Aching pain in the abdomen (Pain can be severe at times.)
*.Feeling of pressure in the abdomen
*. Pain in the hips, lower back, and inner thighs

What Causes Common Menstrual Cramps?

I won't bore you.

How Can I Relieve Mild Menstrual Cramps?

To relieve mild menstrual cramps:

*.Take aspiri nor another pain reliever, such as Tylenol( acetaminophen), Motrin( ibuprofen) or Aleve( naproxen).(Note: For best relief, you must take these medicationsas soon as bleeding or cramping starts.)

*.Place a heating pad or hot water bottle on your lower back or abdomen. Taking a warm bath may also provide some relief.

To relieve menstrual cramps, you should also:

*.Rest when needed.
*.Avoid foods that contain caffeineand salt.
*.Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol.
*. Massage your lower back and abdomen.

If these steps do not relieve pain, your health care provider can order medications for you, including:


When a woman has a disease in her reproductive organs, cramping can be a problem. This type of cramping is called secondary dysmenorrhea. Conditions that can cause secondary dysmenorrhea include:

*. Endometriosis, a condition in which the tissue lining the uterus (the endometrium) is found outside of the uterus
*. Pelvic inflammatory disease, an infection caused by bacteria that starts in the uterus and can spread to other reproductive organs
*.Stenosis (narrowing) of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a baby grows), often caused by scarring
*.Tumors (also called "fibroids"wink, or growths on the inner wall of the uterus

Career › Re: Four Ways To Get The Best Of Your Salary. by emmabest2000(m): 10:17am On Jul 31, 2015
CrazyMan:
After receiving your salary, it seems money always finds a way out of your wallet or purse, sometimes without consulting you. Your paycheck is hardly enough for expenses within the month not to talk about saving a portion for an investment or project.

With these few hacks, you should be able to keep a few bucks away and still make the very best of your remuneration.


1. Make a budget and stick to it.

Immediately you get notification of payment of your salary, take a few minutes to reflect deeply and write an explicit budget. Write down all expenses, essential and trivial, that you propose to make for that month. Don’t leave excess cash as miscellaneous, even if it is for recreation or outings, always try to tie something to your cash.

2. Reverse your thinking; Pay yourself first

Get this. After you get paid for performing various duties and responsibilities at work, you pay everybody else but yourself. Isn’t that just wrong? Your mechanic, food vendor and many other individuals get a slice of the cake while you get only the icing. Take out a certain percentage monthly (say 15%) and stash it in an account that you don’t access regularly. This will can become the spine for future investments or just extra cash for exigencies.

  3. Reduce your expenses

There are some unnecessary activities that you spend excessively on monthly. It is quite important to cut these short while also making the best of expedient purchases. This will include you trying to make the best bargains from your groceries, internet payment and other expenses. Do your research, ask friends where they shop and compare prices. You will be surprised at the great bargains you are currently missing out on.

4. Have a project or reason tied to your saving

When you save, have a particular project that you are saving towards. It might be investing in stocks, buying a car, getting a better apartment, starting a professional course or seed money for a small business. It’s your money so it’s your choice.

If you do not have a goal to your saving, there is huge tendency you will spend the lot on petty activities that you might later regret.

Education › Re: The Use Of The Full Stop, Comma And Semicolon by emmabest2000(m): 2:50pm On Jul 30, 2015
LarrySun:
PUNCTUATIONS

Punctuation can be regarded as guidance to the reader, so the use of capital letters and, in printing, the use of italics are included in this regard.

The punctuation marks in English consist of the following:

Full stop .

Comma ,

Semicolon ;

Colon :

Question mark ?

Round brackets ( )

Square brackets [ ]

Exclamation mark !

Single quotation marks ‘ ’

Double quotation marks “ ”

Hyphen –

Dash —

There are also the apostrophe (’) and mark of omission (…). But, for the moment, I'll discuss on only Full Stop, Comma and Semicolon, the rest shall come later. Please bear with me.

FULL STOP

We all know that the full stop is used at the end of a sentence (anyone who hasn’t known this is needs special training). Full stop should indicate, in fact, that the sentence has come to a stop. Yet too often we come across letters that start like this:

“Referring to your letter of the 30th September.”

This collection of words is not a sentence, and after the full stop the reader is left floundering.

After “September” there should be a comma, followed by the noun or pronoun attached to the present participle “Referring”. A correct construction would thus consist of something like this:

“Referring to you letter of the 30th September, I am happy to say that your work shall be edited.”

An incorrect construction would be:

“Referring to your letter of the 30th September, your work shall be edited.”

This means, quite absurdly, that your work has been referring to your letter.

The Full Stop with Abbreviations

The full stop is commonly known to also denote abbreviations. The modern trend in the UK is now towards an “open” style for abbreviations in which there are few full stops.

It is usual to allow the full stop only to denote those abbreviations which are parts of words and not those abbreviations in which the first and last letters of words are given (contractions); for example, Mr, Mrs, Col (Colonel), Dr, Revd (Reverend), St (Saint or Street), and Rd (Road). Typical abbreviations where a full stop is used are Jan., Sept., Mon., Lag., Gen., Capt., in. (for inches), cm., approx. and Co.

For initials of capital letters that stand for organisations the full stop is very much the exception rather than the rule. BBC is now widely accepted, as are AU, FIFA, KGB and so on. The forms AD and BC are rarely seen with full stops these days.

Lower case initials tend to keep their full stops—i.e., e.g., p.m. and the likes.

Incidentally—and unbelievably—if an abbreviation comes at the end of a sentence there should logically be two full stops—the first for the abbreviation and the second to mark the end of the sentence. In practice, nevertheless, it is conventional to make one full stop do for the two, lest your readers call you an eccentric prof.. grin
