I miss benin sha. I mean during oshiomhole era o. Very fun back then.


But u see the bus drivers in benin eh?
Their roughness is second to non. How do I explain it? They don't give anything chance. Even if na cat or bird beg them to allow them pass, dem no go gree. If ur driving, just no try to compete for space or chance them. Just drive ur own jejely and once ur clear, go ur way.



But I gotta give it to benin of the oshiomhole era. Very fun, relatively safe and cos of living was fantastic.

And yes during oshiomhole era, benin had about the most stable power supply in the country.


I schooled in benin so I know.


After Obaseki entered, things fell apart.

I'm not up to 3 years here. Benin people rough for steering.

You just spoke my mind. Anyway, I think the op is just pulling our legs.
Benin can be rough especially the places I mentioned. I'm sometimes still shocked with their driving especially at Third junction having lived in lagos for over 25 years.

It's true drivers in Benin are semi-mad men.

I wouldn't classify all as semi-mad. It's the boys that ply Sapele and Sakponba road. I sit with my heart in my mouth each time I go to work and return from work boarding commercial vehicles on Sakponba route as I work there.
I'm always happy to board vehicles of matured men which are not so common on that route.

Did the OP board a vehicle on Sakponba or Sapele road as that's where they drive rough the most.

Hello mamas, pls what can I use for diaper rash?
I have changed diapers from huggies to soft care to molfix.
I have even stopped using blue seal vaseline as they said it may be fake, and currently using original coconut oil.
It appeared to be clearing off initially, but the place is now reddish with new rashes again.
Pls what else can I use/do?
I didn't experience this for my other kids as i change diapers very regularly.
I use Vegas cream for my son. It's a small container sold for N200 with vaseline and he has no rash.
You can still leave the place to diaper free when the baby's home for now.

Special Greetings to moms and to be moms on this thread.

I wanna appreciate you all for your concerns and prayers on my family.

Our baby is fine now, we were actually discharged from UCH in the late hours of yesterday.

However, In the past 10days, my eyes have seen different scenarios and my faith was actually shaken. I've seen innocent babies (0 - 28day old) including mine in pains and their moms couldn't help them. Moms couldn't even enjoy a 2hr direct sleep.

Pls let's quickly go to a Tertiary Healthcare should we notice any danger sign in our babies before it is late. we don't pray for it though.

My special appreciation to moms who tried reaching out. God bless you all.
Hallelujah. Looking forward to an update from you daily.
God is faithful. He'll preserve your family.
You can still share what caused it for others to learn.

Ehn I'm missing something? Few times I tried it, I didn't like the outcome.

You cook yam with sugar?
Sorry about the experience then.

Never. I had a roommate from Oyo state do that and I assumed it's common with Yoruba people.
Food / Re: See Different Ways Plantain Can Be Enjoyed. (pictures) by Esthered: 1:48pm On Dec 03, 2023
Dear OP, you didn't mention unripe plantain and beans pottage. It's common among calabar people.

Acidosis:
Just fry (chips or dodo). Any other thing, count me out oo.


Cooking plantain with beans, adding sugar inside beans, eating beans with fish, using plantain for moi moi, and those extra stuff are not my thing. E dey vex me sef.
You're missing big time @ bolded.
Who adds sugar to beans when it's not yam? Beans is sweet on it's own when cooked well.

Ingredients:
Meat - assorted.....
Dry catfish
Panla
Ponmo
Periwinkle
Pepper
Yam
Uyayak
Pepper soup spices
Stock fish

Boil your seasoned protein till it's almost tender with enough water.
Add your stock fish.
After a while, add ponmo, dry fish....
Add your uyayak and other pepper soup spices, pepper before you suspend the cooking of the meat.
Prepare the yam and cut to size, wash and boil without salt (quantity for swallow and thickener).
When the yam is cooked, pound and take out the one for swallow and put in a cooler while you add the one for thickening in the meat pot to your desired level of thickness as you resume cooking the meat.

Please be careful with salt. If you miss it, when you warm to eat after storage, it may turn out salty.

Same question I intended to ask
Which caregiver go even accept to dey arrange napkin that is stained with poo ? Because of course, she won't thrash it but will definitely keep it for the mom... hygienic it's not even proper to keep poo on napkin for too long to avoid bacteria.
Anyways just born as your hand reach because even the napkin I believe you'll be changing it from months to months.
It is well with us.

My wife prefers here but each time the parents father or mother they keep asking her to persuade to allow her come home and born.

If she has supportive hands around, it's fine for her to stay back.
I had nobody to massage me with hot water, cook for me....I gave birth during Christmas period and had to do cooking which was very stressful for me.
I hope she has done a critical review of the journey ahead and you're willing to take turns to nurse at night especially you the husband.
If it's a boy child, colic is not for the faint hearted o.
Let her go to them if you love your sleep and will be selecting tasks.
As regards bills, if it's going to be a burden if she leaves, bring MIL over. I'm talking from the point of a working wife.

She's the first daughter and besides is both the mother and father that are telling me to bring her home.

I'm not spiritual person but I'm afraid that might be something they are not telling me, because I never heard before married woman go her papa house to deliver
I delivered with my husband in Benin but ran after 10 days to Lagos to be with my parents.
E dey sweet you as it's your first but if na only 2 of you, it wouldn't be easy o.
I was happy I left as I had enough support from family.
There's a enough time to bond with the baby.

Napkin is a finer and better option,compared to diapers.just that some percentage of mother's lacks patience and sees it as work washing the nappies.
Mama, can working class nursing mothers cope with it?

Phones / Re: Opay Transaction History by Esthered: 3:08pm On Oct 29, 2023
eghuan1:



I'm an Opay staff. This is the way to go though it will be very difficult.

One is to retrieve the Sim card and login and download the statement from your transaction history.

Secondly is to use the email in that account to request for an official statement of account. This may take time sha.

SEND MAIL TO
ng-internalcontrol@opay-inc.com
ng-antifraud@opay-inc.com
customerservice@opay-inc.com
Please why doesn't OPAY process court orders against their customers.
You guys refer to the institution that sent funds wrongly to forward it to them.
Traditional banks process court orders upon receipt as long as it's established that the funds is with them.
Education / Re: Please advise Me On What To Do, I'm Having Difficulties Correcting Name On Bvn by Esthered: 8:34pm On Oct 15, 2023
Dear OP, BVN name modification differs from account name modification. Visit your bank and request to see the NIBSS page of your BVN as well as the ZF1 page which is the biometric page.
If you have confirmed that the name is changed, request for update form for account name modification.

I did a factory reset on my Note8 in July when my WhatsApp wouldn't work of which it worked afterwards. Since then I can't access Microsoft tools for my work on my phone as it says Product Key Validation Failed when I try to register my device with my organization.
I can't find Knox on my phone after the reset. What can I do?
