Somx he wud say ' dis isn't d best time 2 do any formal intro' @ over 30yrs ooo. Dre was a time he acquired sth nd believe mi every oda person in his family had known abt it bt he neva said anythn 2 mi until we had a quarrel nd he was lukn 4 ways 2 pacify me so he told me abt it(after like almost 6mths). In fact d tori long I no fit write am finish,

doris4u: Pls nairalanders i need help,it seems am loosing my mind,i find it hard to concentrate at work.I and my boyfriend started dating from 2009 when i was in year 1 in the University while he works.In march 2012 he started acting strange,he hadly picks my calls giving excuses of being busy,around April 2012 he broke up with me saying that he needed space.i found it difficult to concentrate in my exams,i fell sick.In June we made up and he told me that he wanted us to reduce they way we had quarrels over his constant late night calls,he told me that they were friends and business partners.By June this years i saw a pix of a half cast on his fb wall i asked him who the person is and he told me that the girl is the cousin,he has over 10 of her pix on his fb wall.He even said that the girl lives in Germany and sometimes last year he told me he would travel out.3 weeks back i called him and asked why he is making me feel sad by uploading the pix,he told me i should stop asking him since he has tld me who she is.I have been so unhappy since then,cry almost every day,i have made a decision not to cal him anylonger since he doesnt cal me.i have never cheated on him,pls fellow nairalanders,how do i overcome this trauma because this is the only guy i have truely loved.i doubt if i can ever love again

My darling, it may b hard 4 u 2 let go because I guess u rily nd deeply luv d guy....bt walking out of the relationship is ur best option otherwise u have just started. I'm sorry 2 say dt bt its true.

lrguru: OP, there's nothin wrong if he goes to his sisters place in calabar and stays for a month, cos my female cousins do come over to my place and stay longer during the semester break and I see nothin wrong there. They just love coming over cos of the lively environment n how nicely I treat them. Ur BF might just love travellin to Calabar, n the only place he likes stayin is his sisters house. And BTW u said he only stayed there close to a month, n it was courtesy of the ASUU strike. If my GF is like u, thinkin I have somethin to do with my sister, I would have booted her out of my life for conceiving such thoughts. U really need help, n pls grow up

she neva said dre was anythn btw them, I think 1 of her fears is, her bf might get entangled wit one of his sister's friends or sth.

Nice 1 Op, thatz so true. My bf says he luvs me, in fact I think he does but u knw wht, numbers 4,5 and 7 are like no nos to him. He doesn't carry mi along wt his plans @ all, bt he does carry his ppl along nd he says he wants 2 get married 2 nd av kids wt mi. I av complained abt dis severally.......I can neva ask him 2 stp carrying his ppl along bt if he indeed wanna get married 2 me he shud @ least carry mi along too wt his plans. 4yrs + in d relationship he hasn't taken mi home and officially introduced mi 2 his parents, he always givs 1 excuse or d oda.

Have you been experiencing frequent pains in the
stomach? Does it feel like you have wounds in your
belly?
Experts say if you have been using pain relief
medicines for stomach pains for more than six
months without relief, you may have developed an
ulcer.
Professor of Gastroenterology at the Ege University
School of Medicine, Turkey, Serhat Bor, describes
stomach ulcers as open sores that form on the inner
lining of the stomach, because of increased gastric
acid in the digestive tract.
He notes that when this condition is not detected
early, it could lead to severe damages to the
stomach.
“An ulcer of the stomach occurs when there is
excess acid in the stomach, which eats away the
protective mucus lining, leading to a sore.”
In addition to eating away your stomach lining,
stomach ulcers cause a lot of discomfort and pain
which could reduce one’s quality of life .
To effectively treat ulcers, the professor says that
one must know the factors that trigger the
conditions in the first place.
Ege says unlike before when its causes were not
really known, new researches now show that 20
per cent of all cases of ulcers are caused by
bacteria , Helicobacter Pylori, which live s and grow
s within the mucus layers that protect the tissues
lining the stomach and the small intestines.
“ In most instances, these bacteria do not cause a
problem, but sometimes they could disrupt the
layer of the mucus leading to an inflammation. The
inflammation in turn could cause the acids in the
stomach to rise. It is only a specialist
( gastroloenterlogist) that can diagnose these
cases .It is important that you see a doctor first ,
then you can follow up on his/her advice,” he
states.
If you’ve been swallowing pain reilef medications
frequently, you may want to watch it. Abuse of
analgesics could increase one’s risk of getting
ulcer. Ege states that these over-the-counter
medicines are taken frequently. They could
inflame or irritate the lining of the small intestines
and the stomach leading to sores.
“ If you don’t want to have ulcer, you need to be
very careful with over-the-counter pain medicines.
Remember: No drug is risk-free. It is very important
to discuss the use of over-the-counter drugs with
your doctor.” he adds.
Stress has been linked to aggravating the stomach
lining. The professor notes that stress, which
increases acidic levels in the stomach, could result
in stomach ulcers.
He explains, “There are different health problems
that occur because of stress, acidity being one of
them. If steps are not taken to control the levels of
stress in the body, the acidity could lead to
stomach ulcers. “
The loss of a good night’s sleep could do more than
make you yawn – it may trigger stomach ulcers.
Research published by scientists at Newcastle
University, UK shows that good sleeping habits
result in better production of a protein called TFF2,
which repairs tissue damage in the stomach and
keeps ulcers at bay.
It also confirms that eating late is bad for you
because it suppresses the same protein. The lead
researcher, Dr. Felicity May, said the study backs
up the idea that stressful lifestyles are more likely
to lead to ulcers.
“These findings show the implications for ulcers
for those whose daily routine does not allow them
to get a good night’s sleep. If you don’t get any
sleep it would mean lower levels of the protein.
This would suggest that those who get too little
sleep and often eat late are more at risk of stomach
ulcers.”
You have probably heard ulcer patients reject spicy
or peppery food, diet could heighten or lessen your
chances of hurting your stomach, says consultant
gastroenterologist with the Lagos University
Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Dr. Funmi Lesi.
To show the importance of diet, Lesi says a study
carried out among 400 medical students who took
coffee and kola nuts during their examinations
showed that 26.3 per cent of them had symptoms
that could lead to ulcers within one month while
another study among 688 residents in Mushin,
Lagos, revealed that 15.5 per cent of them had
stomach pains after their meals at least once in a
month.
The experts note that since all foods consumed by
a person have an effect on the body, one way or the
other, it is absolutely essential for all to ensure
that they eat the right food to avoid stomach ulcer,
especially if they are prone to the problem, suffer
from acidity on a regular basis, or have a family
history of ulcers.
They note that people who are undergoing
treatment for this condition should follow diets
which have a positive effect on the ir stomach
lining by eating the right food forto speed up th ier
recovery process.
Home made remedies for ulcer pain
If you have an ulcer, you need to avoid any foods or
medicines that will make your condition worse.
Following are some of the best natural remedies for
healing and soothing stomach ulcers:
-One of the very best home remedies for ulcers is
eating raw cabbage. Juicing the raw cabbage will
make it easier to take and mixing it with carrots in
the juicer will make it better tasting. Drink half a
cup before each meal and at bed time and make
sure that it is fresh. Your ulcer may be gone in only
a few weeks.
-Eat at least three bananas a day. These fruits
contain an antibacterial substance that inhibits the
growth of ulcer-causing H. pylori. Studies show that
animals fed bananas have a thicker stomach wall
and greater mucus production in the stomach,
which helps build a barrier between digestive acids
and the lining of the stomach. Eating plantains is
also helpful.
-Cayenne pepper is wonderful for healing ulcers as
well as dulling the pain. It is a bit strong and may
take some getting used to at the outset. Start with
one-eighth teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a glass
of water twice a day and work up to a quarter-
teaspoon. You can also take cayenne capsules that
you can get at the health food store. Take three a
day immediately after meals.
-The bark of slippery elm soothes the mucous
membranes that line the stomach and duodenum. It
is often taken in powdered form. Some herbalists
recommend taking a teaspoon of powdered slippery
elm bark added to one cup of warm water three
times a day.
-Colloidal silver helps kill the H. pylori bacteria and
helps heal injured stomach tissues.
-Raw honey soothes and reduces inflammation of
the lining of the stomach and is good for healing as
well.
-Garlic’s antibacterial properties include fighting H.
pylori. Take two small crushed cloves a day.

Ordinarily, the man, being the head of the family, is expected to provide accommodation and other
basic needs for his wife and children. But these
days there are wealthy women who build houses on their own. Saturday PUNCH asked people if it was proper for men to live in houses built by their wives, expecially without their consent.

It is not proper
John Adeshina

No, it is not proper for a man to live in a house built by his wife without his consent. The husband and the wife are one and that alone means any decision that concerns the home is to be taken by the man and his wife. In this case, if she builds it without the husband’s consent, then I will say a big no to that. But if it is with the husband’s consent, then I think that is not bad. But for me, I will not agree to live in that house because for a woman to do that, it means she has no regard for the husband and she can even do more harm to him. So, I don’t agree with this.

Men generally are the jealous type
Bunmi Quadri

Normally, the husband and wife are meant to do
things together because they are one. If this is not respected, they are bound to have issues between them. But as regards the question, it is not right for a man to live in a house built by his wife without his consent because it shows there is no love. If this happens, it can lead to divorce, because we all know that men generally are the jealous type. For me, my husband will know before I build any house.

It doesn’t sound well
Nosiru Lateef

We are generally bound by our culture. A Yoruba
proverb says that a man who lives in a house built by an in-law is actually living in a bin house. To me, it doesn’t sound well but because our culture has been mixed, things like this are bound to happen. If the man knows, she can go ahead but if he doesn’t know, then I don’t agree. To me, there should be sincerity and if the sincerity is violated, then it is wrong for her to build, not to even talk of living there, I will not stay there. A woman should normally tell her husband everything she does.

She has no right to do that
Deborah Olanrewaju

The woman has no right to build a house without
telling the husband because the man is the head of the home. A man should not live in that house
because it is right for the wife to make known all
her intentions to the man. For me, I can’t build a
house without my husband’s consent.

I can’t live in house built by my wife without my contribution
Ayilara tunde

There should be a touch of sincerity in every
husband and wife relationship. If she does that
without my consent, then I will know she is up to
something. I can’t even live in a house built by my wife without my consent. In short, I can’t live there because if she is sincere, she would let me know.

The woman should not hide anything from her
husband
Omolola Ajibise

No, it means there is no love because I see no
reason why the woman should hide things from her husband. To me, that is not right and it also means there is no trust. A man should not live in a house built by his wife without his consent. I can’t build a house without my husband’s consent, it is not proper at all.

The man should be responsible
Babalola Saka

In my opinion, I don’t think I can do that because
the man should be capable enough to take up the
responsibilities of his wife and kids. I should be
responsible, not my wife. Not that I won’t be happy for her, but I can’t live there because as time goes on, there will be problem.

Men can never tolerate that
Victoria Osigwe

It is not right. The husband must know because if it happens, the man will be ridiculed by people
outside. Men can never tolerate it because of their ego. It can even lead to divorce. So for me, my husband and I must agree before I build anything.

It is not acceptable
Adebisi Muftaudeen

It is not acceptable for a man to live in a house built by his wife without his consent, because it will be difficult for the man. The man, should do this not the other way round.

It is not acceptable in yoruba land
Funke Lawrence

In Yoruba land, this is not acceptable because the
man is the head of the family and he should be the one in charge. In my own opinion, if the woman seeks the approval of the man to build a house and he agrees; then there is no problem with that. But if he doesn’t know, then I will say this will lead to disagreement and there will be no trust at all. My husband must know before I do anything.


Culled from Punch

So dear NLers whatz ur own opinion?

dayleke: L O V E it is!!!!

Such a cute boi

Meet the parents who tattooed insulin pumps on their bellies so their diabetic son would not feel different...

Awww.....so much love

Simply put "vanity upon vanity" I had the same thought too when i saw d pic

utumunta: That picture of Steve Jobs really got me asking; "what is man?".
We struggle to be everything and acquire all goodies and in death, we are made equal with those that did nothing in their lifetime.
God make to be contented and hunger for a better world instead of my pocket.
NB; this is not saying Jobs was a man after his pocket! Just reflecting on the ugly finality of death.
