searchlight: How many women are like you? Just about 10% or less. How am I sure that I could get your kind? Most women go into marriage with the mindset of living on the man's sweat and frustrating the man in the process. You can if you search and knowing what to look out for not ephemeral things like boobs and axx |

searchlight: So i must treat my mom equally to my mother-in-law? Never. In my life. If my wife thinks otherwise, she should do that with her own money. Marriage is a scam to me I must say. It's not a scam. It depends on the parties in the marriage. My husband has lots on his hands and told me he wouldn't be doing anything for my parents and I told him not to bother as myself and my sister had sent money to her to stock the house for the festivities. I made sure to follow up that he does something for his peeps. I as his wife supports his family's ministry monthly and I told him I can't do extra this season as I have lots too. |

SamuelAnyawu: Lol 300k not on the high side oh 
I have spent 200k on baby items and I'm not through yet. Never new expecting a first baby is this expensive ooooooh It is well sir. Things are very expensive. Pele oooo. I remember then my cost drivers were diapers and formula. I was buying formula in carton especially at 3 to 6 months when baby drinks more than 120 ml 4 to 6 times daily. If your woman can do exclusive breastfeeding, it's WAY cheaper. I didn't lactate well. |

greatmutt64: Where are January mama and our February mama. Let's share how we feel. The thread is dry my people. Am due late January. I'm late January too. I'm tired lately and hoping baby comes early. I'm packing my things and realized my manual breast pump is not good anymore, coupled with outstanding things to buy. |

Acidosis: See what this vendor is offering for 290k (promo price o) with just few clothes. No food, bed, or brea$t pump, etc. These are basic/essential items according to the vendor, but of course, I know it's possible to improvise.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C04RWowo3Ra/?igsh=M3F4aG83OGg5YzF0 Things are very expensive. I spent about 150k in 2021 being a first time mum. You're right, with inflation it can get up to that and more. No baby drawer, bathtub......among what she's offering o. |
Family › Re: We Are Expecting A Baby But My Wife Wants Me To Buy Christmas Rice For Her Mom by Esthered: 9:17pm On Dec 23, 2023 |
Acidosis: 150k? Is it for ewa or garri? Please don't have a baby with this mindset. You're clearly not ready. We are in 2023 not 2020.
For peace of mind;
Baby things - budget 300k upwards Another 300k-1m for emergency or elective CS. 300k for baby things oga mi? I think it's on the high side sha o. Only if they're buying the consumables in bulk. |

blowjohn: 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. |

OVB123: 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. |
Politics › Re: Benin City Is A Hellhole by Esthered: 10:31pm On Dec 11, 2023 |
DeOTR: 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. |

Esetim: 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. |

AyodejiSugar: 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. |

mariahAngel: I prefer unripe plantain pottage by itself.
I enjoy beans and plantain pottage better when the plantain is well ripe and sweet.  In fact, I enjoy the very sweet pete-pete type.  I'm not a fan of unripe plantain pottage even with beans sef but na my oga like am and doesn't like ripe plantain with beans pottage. You see that Pete-Pete is heaven on earth. I LOVE IT but dey say preggy need unripe  |

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. |

Dear OP, you didn't mention unripe plantain and beans pottage. It's common among calabar people. |
Food › Re: See Different Ways Plantain Can Be Enjoyed. (pictures) by Esthered: 1:47pm On Dec 03, 2023 |
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. |

Windblown2much: Somebody should please describe the procedures on how to cook whitesoup and the ingredients that I'll need🙏 Thanks! 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. Add periwinkle, seasoning and salt to your desired taste. Please be careful with salt. If you miss it, when you warm to eat after storage, it may turn out salty. |
