Was any test done to determine the soil's load bearing capacity

It looks like they wanted to emulate the winner's chapel edifice at Ota but they've forgotten that bishop oyedepo is a trained Architect.

Look at the walls isn't that just block and cement? No steel beams to support the overhead steel work

Those boys will be back for you. They will want to teach you a lesson for having the effrontery to give them a fake pin.

Nigerians will never learn.

Greedy people everywhere looking for any means possible to make money.

After the nospectro, sefteg and pennywell fiasco of 2007-2008 and also the commandclem paint rubbish, they are still "investing" in Ponzi schemes.

You do not need my 'gangster technique' for your toddler jare . Kwentinue breastfeeding him.

Dear mamas in the house, Happy Sunday o. This thread has been informative & educating. Kudos to all the mamas in the house.
My breast milk supply isn't enough for my baby, I have done everything I read here, got little result. My baby(6wks old) has been crying for the past fews day. I'm always feeding him day and night yet he isn't satisfied. Pls advise me what on the formula I can introduce to him that won't make him to have constipation but make him gain weight as he hasnt gaining much weight since birth. Pls help me, I haven't slept or rested for the past 5days. I'm getting frustrated already

Pls help all sabi moms. I need all help and experiences I can get.
Thanks

helovesme,

He's crying because he is hungry. Kindly introduce formula. There are several brands in the market but personally I stick to Aptamil.

You also need to rest, relax and be happy as this will also help your milk production. Introduce formula, this will fill him up. Try and sleep whilst he's sleeping. In between feeds or when you are relaxed (for example while watching tv), keep breastfeeding him.

To avoid constipation, you have to give him warm water at least once a day. I also go a scoop less than the recommended guide on the tin. For example, if 6 scoops of formula is recommended for 200ml of water, I use 5.

Don't forget that hygenine has to be top notch with bottle feeding. Bottles, teats, et al must always be sterilised. Use a separate sponge (not the 'general' kitchen sponge) when washing them and make sure the sponge is kept separately to avoid any mixup. Always use boiled water (irrespective of whether or not it's bottled water from a reputable brand). Left over milk must be discarded. Bottles must be washed with soap and water and sterilised before the next use.

JUMAYIN:
thanks mama,juat arrived from d Hosp. His weight was taken he is now 4.2kg at 5 weeks, was adviced to burp him well after each feed then, his temp was taken as well n it was 36.8 was told its normal, blood sample was taken too, d result wud be out tomorrow...was given pcm.

What was his weight at birth so that I can check a weight chart for you to see how his weight has progressed in the last 5 weeks? Did the doctor say anything about his weight?

JUMAYIN:
Good afternoon mamas, D's pukes out breast milk almost all d time, I was scared this afternoon when he pukes a large quantity of it n started running lil temp afterwards.... What cud be going wrong?

Cc: all mamas

Jumayin, I think this is the second time you are mentioning this issue of your son constantly vomiting breast milk. I think you should take him to see a doctor.

most importantly, he needs to have his weight checked to see if he's adding on weight in line with the weight percentile for his age. since he keeps vomiting breast milk, it means he is not retaining much and this can affect his weight. puking in large quantity is worrisome and I believe a mother should trust her instincts. For you to be scared and worried is enough reason to see a doctor. the rise in body temperature might be because of the vomiting.

have you tried formula to see if he takes that without puking?

he might be lactose intolerant and might need a special formula. please take him to see a paediatrician who will suggest on what best to do.

comtem2011:
He is 14 months o, he is so found of breast.

ok. does he understand simple instructions like 'no' and also when you 'shake your head' to express displeasure at any mischief he's up to?

Savage

Zaynie. Welcome back

Ovems. Pele. I can completely relate.

All the suggestions and much more given by all the mums here, I tried them all and my son didnt budge. There is nothing you will offer my son at night that he will take apart from breast milk - even formula. I introduced milo when he clocked one, introduced heavier meals but he would still wake up at night to suck (not once, not twice). At the height of desperation, I bought robinson's fruity shoot, caprisonne but he would refuse them all.

At a stage he would pull my top up and be dragging my boobs from my bra. Once he's back from nursery, he won't even wait for me to take off my coat before he starts crying to be breastfed.

I finally had to take the bull by the horn and adopt a 'gangster' technique last week Saturday and today is the 9th day and we are breastmilk free.

For the first time in monthssssssss, he slept all through the night on Friday.

Phew !!!

Now when he wakes up at night, he eats any snack I offer - sandwich, oats, plantain, etc, he drinks water, we watch "wheels on the bus" for 5-10mins, and he sleeps off. Tonight, I will be reintroducing him back to his cot. No more co-sleeping as he enjoys placing his head on my chest.

I will suggest you endure till he's 12 months old. If at 12months, he fails to self wean or you are still adamant on stopping him from breastfeeding, mention my username and I will share my 'gangster' technique.

Alphahandmaiden

Leave him to continue agruing ignorantly.

The link I posted is so detailed. The medical staff go as far as taking medical pictures/diagrams of the circumcised klit. That's to show how serious they take the issue.

Too many ignorant people on nairaland.

5minsmadness

This is for you. I couldn't help but show you that I have facts to back up my post. You should only argue/sound confident on an issue you are 100% sure of to avoid a situation where you come across as

Every western country has their own policy for all their maternity units.

5minsmadness:
I didnt want to continue arguing the point.

However I have a little free time on my hands

Anyone telling her the reason women are asked at antenatal if they are circumcised is so they can "get used to" or "come and observe" a torn up vagina is 100% wrong. Its medically unethical to begin with. And i doubt anyone in the western world would ask doctors and nurses to "come and see oh! " vis a circumcised vagina. There's a term we use "no emotion", or emotional aloofness. You cant be exclaiming or viewing your patients hoohaa or any other part of the anatomy for that matter for any reason other than medical. U could get sued.

As for the second part of putting them on a "Watch-List", lol, I'll ask. Its the first i'm hearing of it, but i'm hard pressed to understand exactly how they will be on hand to prevent the mother doing same to her own daughter: will they be sleeping in the same house with her until the baby is 5yrs? Will they keep raising up the little girl's skirt anytime she comes to school until she's grown up? Highly improbable.


For the mild case of female circumcision two cuts are made on the surface of the clit like tribal marks. It has no real debilitating effect on the clit long-term if done properly with a sterile blade and is sometimes advocated for in cases where diplomacy is required e.g a woman who is hell-bent on circumcising her child cos its tradition. We cant protect the child 24/7 and we dont want the mother to cut of the clit and the labia majora and minora and goodness knows what else. Some people argue that this method of marking the clit is a safe and acceptable alternative in extreme cases.

Oh yeah !!

The same way I have it utterly amusing that someone who claims he/she is a "medical doctor" is of the opinion that it's okay to apply hot/warm water on a baby's vagina to reduce the size of her klit !!

Anyway, it's the Internet. Anybody can claim to be anything.

The fact that you have such opinion alone makes it a complete waste of time backing up my post with facts.

I really doubt this story.

Tunji Ariyo is not one to involve himself with such.

ahnie:
Goodnoon mamas pls help my lil zino.she alway cries when passing out poop.and the anus area z very reddish.

I have administered coconut oil to the affect part,but its not improving.pls help with names of drugs to apply to the anuz

Cc onegai,soonest.readentist and the rest.

Try Vaseline.

Apply generous amount of Vaseline around the affected area.

Give her lots of fruits (oranges, etc and not juice) and also lots of water before and after her meals. Cut down on carbohydrates for now and give her more of vegetables and protein

Sweet Mary Joseph

Sorry I had to laugh

Dearie, this isnt the reason they ask. Circumcised females are more prone to having vaginal and perineal tears during delivery cos circumcision leaves scar tissue in the vagina that doesnt stretch like it shoukd during labour. Bleeding from such tears can give rise to what we call post-partum hemmoraging. The woman literally bleeds to death. Its one of the common causes of death /mortality during childbirth.

This is why they ask.

I'm only relaying what I was told by my midwife when I questioned why she asked.

If there are other reasons like what you've mentioned, it only further justifies why a baby's vagina should be left alone.

I'm glad you mentioned this. Maybe this will convince those parents that are still contemplating going down the circumcision route to back off the idea of mutilating their daughter's vagina.

I wonder what took her so long to speak out.

The fraud happened in 2002.

Well, I guess she must have explored all options to recover the money and it failed hence the re purse to the courts.

She must have a plausible explanation on how she came about the funds she used in setting up the business. I think she's from a wealthy family

Father in the name of Jesus, we want to thank you for giving us the grace to see another day. We thank you for our lives and those of our family. We ask oh Lord that you continue to watch over us, be our strength, be our shield and that you continue to deliver us from evil in Jesus name. Amen.

We commit our children into your hands, oh Lord. Continue to be with them and protect them. Grant them good health at all times, let them reach and exceed all their milestones. We pray that they continually be a source of joy and blessings in our lives in Jesus name. Amen.

Father Lord, we know that being parents entails a lot of hardwork. We ask that you give us the strength, grace, wisdom and patience to raise our children in the way of the Lord. We pray that you give us all the financial resources we need to meet all their needs in Jesus name. Amen.

Dear Lord, we commit the widows and widowers in our midst into your hands. We ask that you continue to comfort them, meet them at the point of all their needs and that you grant them their heart desires in Jesus name. Amen.

We also commit all expectant mums into your hands. We ask Oh Lord that you grant them safe delivery and give them every cause to rejoice and testify. We also commit mums and dads in our midst that are looking up to you for children. We ask Oh Lord that you hear our prayers and bless them with the children they desire in Jesus name. Amen.

Father Lord, we ask that you bless us individually. Bless the work of our hands and let us continue to excel in our chosen careers and businesses in Jesus name, Amen. We also commit all our individual needs and heart desires into your hands. Only you Lord knows our innermost heart desires and what we are trusting you for. We ask that you hear our humble prayers and grant us all we desire.

Thank you Lord Jesus for all the answered prayers in Jesus name we pray. Amen.

SalomonKane:
You know now. I'm that naughty.

That's the plausible explanation. Cos hey, if not that she watches... then I won't wanna believe any female will openly allow her see their veejayjay, except she and them are...

That's the problem.

They watch such movies and assume the klit of female porn stars are the same as all uncircumcised women. Ignorance at its peak.

EfemenaXY:
I'm disappointed you of all people would ask this question.

No, actually I'm annoyed with you. The fact that you even mention it and think circumcision would make her clitörïs look better means you must have considered it deep down in you and that's worrying.

Your aunt sounds very old school and I'll advise you NEVER to leave your daughter alone with her.

That abhorrent act was instigated by folks from the olden days to subdue the girl child. Apart from the complications that ensue, it puts the child's life at risk.

I will be honest too. I'm shocked such question came from her. She always came across as well enlightened

Applying dusting powder on a baby's vagina (even on an adult's skin, dusting powder stings how much more on a baby's vagina), massaging it or whatever with hot water is nothing else but wickedness and abuse on a child.

Already circumcised women are going through some kind of "stigmatisation". Now one of the standard questions in a western country which women originally from Africa and other "circumcision hotspots" are asked while registering for antenatal is "have you being circumcised"? Their reason for asking and adding such to a circumcised woman's health records is so that all the doctors, midwives and nurses that will be attending to her on the day of delivery/throughout her pregnancy will be well aware of this fact as it's always a shock to them when they see a mutilated vagina during intimate examination/labour/delivery.

They also ask so that you are added to a "watch list" and they ensure such woman does not do same to any daughter she might have. They are aware it's a cultural/generational practice that tends to be passed on from grandmum to mum to daughter, etc.

babythug:
Come and see something here oh!!!!!

I'm just weak.

Is she aware that talc powder has been linked to cervical cancer.

I'm sure they use very hot water to 'massage' the poor girl's vagina.

I just hope they do not carry out the circumcision behind the mum's back.

One of my 'friends' at uni was circumcised as a baby in nigeria and na she f**k and change boyfriend pass. She's the first and only person I know to admit owning a Dildooo !!!

babythug:
Overheard one woman talking with the cashier at hospital once of how they realized one battery you know those tiny ones was missing and asked their toddler if she swallowed it and the girl said YES. So they rushed to hospital I think they even got ambulance sef and dr ran tests and did all but battery nor gree show up!

Only for the maid to sweep the next day and guess what turned up??

God help somebody with this children......

*sighs*

They did the right thing though by taking her to the hospital.

I watched a report on tv a few months ago on a toddler that swallowed a watch battery. The battery eroded her throat and she had a very long stay in hospital with doctors battling to save her life and carrying out surgery to fix her osephagus.

The programme went further and carried out an experiment. A battery was placed on a piece of ham and water was poured on it. In few minutes, the battery had literally burnt a hole through the ham.

After watching that programme, I binned every single watch battery I could find in the house.

Hello wonderful mamas.From when my son was 6 weeks old i have being using general hospital for immunization .He is presently a year and 1 month and he is due for the next stage of immunization which is from 12 months to 15 month and consist of MMR1,chicken pox1,pneumococcal congugate4,MMR2,chicken pox 2.I went to the general hospital for enquiries and the nurse at the immunization center said they dont give all these vaccines instead they would give only vitamin A for that age and i was like wth but it is wrritten in the card.The nurse insisted that the vaccines are listed is not so neccessary and other children that hasnt been given hasnt died.Mama please is the nurse right? Am contemplating on going to a private hospital for it.

Secondly my son had never been given Pneumococcal congugate since he was born but the private hospital i went to make enquiries for these vaccines above said that he should take the Pneumococcal congugate 4 which am having second thoughts about.Please is it right?

Sorry for the long
Thanks to you all for the good work

Chai. That nurse deserves a big slap. Child mortality rates in nigeria is one of the highest in the world which isn't surprising when for example a nurse that should know better is suggesting that very important vaccines should be ignored.

Please go to the private hospital and take all the vaccines listed for your son's age.

Later today, I will post all the vaccines my son has received so far. Maybe that will help some mums know what vaccines they still have outstanding.

Surely, things can't be this bad in nigeria.

Fantastic result.

Jimoh Ibrahim is nothing but a corporate fraudster.

He has ruined so many companies and now he wants to extend his hands of destruction on Ondo state.

In sane climes, he would have been in jail for corporate fraud, barred from holding any managerial role in any company in nigeria and also disbarred from the Nigerian Bar Association

There's absolutely no way Jimoh Ibrahim can rule Ondo state. Absolutely no way.

If only the justice system in nigeria really works, he should be in jail and disbarred by the Nigerian Bar Association.

He's lucky EFCC does not have his time at the moment. They should beam a search light into his fraudulent acquisitions such as Virgin Nigeria/Air Nigeria, Nicon Airways, Nicon Insurance, etc.

mydreams25:
Good morning to all mothers, pls I need suggestions on how to mix fruits to make natural fruit juice for my almost 2years old son he takes caprisome to school everyday and he is already getting used to it. I want to start blending fruits together to replace the daily caprisome and don't want to combine rubbish to avoid him rejecting it.

Hmmm. Caprisonne habit can be hard to stop with kids and that's why it's best to introduce it as an occasional treat and not an everyday thing.

Do you have a juicer at home? Without a juicer to remove the pulp, it might be a little tricky making juice in a blend/consistency that he would accept. If you do have a juicer, then pineapple juice might work. Orange might be a little tricky as it can have a ting of sourness.

Pineapple + orange is another mix.

You can actually mix pineapple with just about any fruit (because of its sweetness). Combos you can try include pineapple+apples, pineapples+water melon, pineapple+Banana, etc.

Another option is to prepare smoothies using a blender or a smoothie maker. However, to get the best results, you have to add milk to any combo of fruit of your choice. You might also want to add a lil bit of lemon juice or lime just to ensure it's well preserved till lunch time for your son.

Fruits in its natural form is better/healthier than juice. So gradually replace juice or caprisonne with fruits he might like such as pineapple chunks, apple slices, bananas, etc.
