Religion / Re: If God Truly Forgive Us Our Sins, What Then Is Karma? by IDERAWOLE(m): 11:13am On Mar 31
MadeINchenzen2:
The complete chapters of the Bible gave no insights or notes about 'karma'... Though the term 'karma' is from the Janism, Hindu and Buddhist religion, but everyone believes in it strongly... Maybe the Bible insinuated it when Christ said "He who kill by the sword, will die by the sword"... " What a man sows, he reaps"...

If we all agree with this (karma) why then do we ask God for forgiveness?

Can one commit a sin and be completely forgiven by God and free from consequences?


Kindly help me with your insights. Thanks

Thank God you confirmed that the Bible mentioned nothing about Karma.

The Bible is recognized as two dispensations; Before Christ and After Christ.

The Bible is better appreciated and understood along these dispensations. Without these distinctions of the two dispensations, the Bible will be at best historical book and the more you read the more confused you become.

Before Christ; what you sow is what you reap.

After the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus; what you sow is not what you reap. There's forgiveness in Christ Jesus; not just because you begged for it after commiting any sin, but because you have a lawyer who's perpetually standing for you when you have committed any offence.

Now, this is where a lot of people get confused about this Grace in Christ Jesus, and you also expressed the same confusion in your question at the end of your post here.

"Will God continue to forgive sins forever"? The answer is Yes. How? You may ask. When Christ becomes the Lord of your Life, your mind, the seat of your decision-making no longer yields to the devil as before or it's no longer under the control of the devil. You may make mistakes, consciously or unconsciously the Love of God overshadows your errors.

The followers of Karma philosophy don't know what we are talking about.

If you believe in Karma, you'll get Karma. If you believe in Grace, you'll enjoy grace.

Romance / Re: Man With One-inch Penis Opens Up About Life With A Micropenis by IDERAWOLE(m): 7:13am On Mar 24

Ant Smith revealed that he has been ridiculed over his small penis, but is now encouraging people to be happy with their endowment

Erroneously, many don't realize that what gives pleasure during sex isn't what you're doing by yourself essentially but the reaction of your partner to whatever you are doing.

For example look at the boobs of a lady that men loves so much; by any of those actions: looking at it, touching it or sucking it, the pleasure you derive from any of those actions is the response you getting from the lady.

Imagine covering the whole head of the lady, after about two minutes of any of those mentioned actions, the man will be put off.

You need to be seeing how she's enjoying the actions before the man move into the real emotional enjoyment of the action. Or your partner just lie down there like a log of wood, no talking, no moaning, nothing. Nobody will tell you that you're wasting your time even if dick is 12inch.
A penis at 1in size when not erect looks like the person doesn't know what one inch is, at one inch, you won't even see it at all.

People who talk about the size of their genitals are always exaggerating it, too small or too big.

For real and extreme enjoyment, the tip of genitals; vagina or penis is the game changer.

Romance / Re: My Woman Loves Me Less When I Treat Her Right. by IDERAWOLE(m): 2:21am On Mar 21
phemyhalaby:
My woman seems not to like me when i show her love.Whenever i bought gifts she just say,"thank you,"briskly,no gushing,no wowing.And then she starts misbehaving throughout the day.In the event that i needed to be intimate with her,she plays hard to get or even declines outrightly.
On the other hand,when ever i treat her bad,she doubles her regard for me,becomes more submissive and brings the intimacy unbeckoned to me,on a platter of gold.
I don't like to treat her bad as i observed it takes a toll on her physical and mental health but she seems to like/enjoy it anyway.
Even,when she thinks that am showing her love,she just deliberately initiate a fall-out or fight.Am just confused.
What can i do?

That's her love language.

Balance it up and the rest of your life will be full of fun.

Family / Re: After 18 Years In America, A Guy Gifted His Friend 12 Dollars And Hes Not Happy by IDERAWOLE(m): 2:35pm On Mar 07
Jewessgratitud3:
A neighbor of mine called me on Saturday and was complaining bitterly about his Bossom friend.

He told me his friend travelled to the US in 2008 and after a few calls they lost contacts. Last week his friend messaged him and said he's aware of the hardship in naija and asked him to send his account details. My neighbor did and after a while he received an alert of 20k. I said wow!.. that's a miracle. but he hushed me and said I should let him finish.


He said immediately he did the conversion it came to 12.8 dollars. He now said after 16 years it 12 Dollar the friend could send to him that that's an insult.
I tried to make him understand the friend may not be doing well over there but he said the guy is doing well that he's weighing the naira value of the money and feels 20k is big money. He said he feels insulted. Me I just carry my two long legs Waka leave my ungrateful neighbor.

Is my neighbor right and did his friend do wrong by sending that kind of amount? 12 Dollars...

To me the friend did not do any wrong but my neighbor feels he could do better.that 12 Dollar is like 1,200 hundred naira to them over there.

Guys what will you do if you were my neighbor?

Your neighbor is right.

However, hunger will teach him plenty lessons very soon.

How many people has he given 5k to in Nigeria here?

Interestingly, apart from the fact that the guy in America knows that 20k is a chicken change in Nigeria now, I can bet it that he just wanted to test the seriousness of his friend in Nigeria.

I can also tell you for free that anybody that is a giver will always appreciate any amount of gift he/she receives.

Your neighbor failed, the guy in America knew his attitude already because I'm so sure he never said thank you to the guy, all he was busy doing was punching calculator to know the amount in dollars.

Na you send the guy to America?

Your neighbor failed the test and he's not getting shishi from the guy again.

It is this spirit that has spoilt Nigeria; entitlement mentality.

Family / Re: Mum Rejects My Babe Cos She Is Not Fine by IDERAWOLE(m): 5:09pm On Mar 06
sammymax:
I seriously need advice as I really don't know what the right or best thing to do at this time. Please elders in the house be kind enough to suggest what I could do.

I did not think something like this can still happen in this era but this is what I have to deal with. So my mum flat out told me she does not like the girl I took home because she is not fine. About 3years ago when we went home together she told me this but I just disregarded it like when I'm ready she won't have a choice but to accept her as she is. To be honest she is not fine at all but she gives me peace of mind which I feel is the ultimate.

She was involved in an accident with my dad last year and we lost my dad in the process. During the burial I went home with my babe again and my mum still made her displeasure with the girl show.

The thing now is that I went home again to see how she is doing and she called to speak me again after stating that I had disobeyed her by not breaking up with the girl she said is still not having her and if I insist she is the one I should count her out of the marriage. She can never come visiting or even call her. She will not attend the wedding. Now I am 32 and she is 30

How do I navigate this situation. I plead for good advice. Have you been in a similar situation how did you handle it.


What is the comment of your babe in all of these? If I have that piece of info; I'll let you know which way to go.

Lol funny but sad.

Your Mom reminds me of my Moms family that are particular about the beauty of a girl or handsomeness of a man you're bringing home. As in.. they will tell you this one you bring dudu nyanya come hope you're not planning to have something with him/her?
I'm talking about my grand aunties those days, which was why they selected a very handsome oyinbo looking husband for my Mom. Others who came were rejected until fine boy Lagos (my dad) now came. grin.

See she's your Mom and you need her consent and support in your marriage and if she says she doesn't like who you're bringing, let her go abi? This one you're claiming peace of mind, wait until you marry her. Let me tell you some girls can pretend just to enter especially if they know they are not so attractive but after they enter na that your mama she go first slap.

Abeg let her go. Prayerfully look for another girl and stop making it look like we wey fine na pain in the neck.. we too dey give peace of mind but if we do small shakara una go say we no give una peace. If woman no do shakara for her her husband who she go do am for?

Abeg leave her and let mama have her own peace of mind too. No be only you want peace of mind grin


You sure say you dey fine with this your shakara?

Romance / Re: My Mother Keeps Rejecting All My Suitors Because A Prophet Said So - Naija Lady by IDERAWOLE(m): 9:35pm On Feb 29
DyshApp:
A Nigerian lady has cried out online regarding her mother’s attitude of constantly rejecting her suitors, claiming that her husband is to come from a faraway country.

Sharing the plight she facing anonymously she revealed that she is always having dreams about her mother preventing her from getting married.

Her post read;

“Mommy’s in the house help my life o. I’ll be 24 years old in a few months. I noticed that anytime a suitor comes for my hand in marriage my mom would turn them down, saying a prophet told her my husband is not in Nigeria and that he’ll come from a faraway country. I didn’t take it seriously then cos I wasn’t ready, but now I’m ready, through with service I’m working and also a tailor. A man came for my hand in marriage my m said no o, that he’s not my husband that have I forgotten that my husband will come from a faraway place? Most times I see my mom in my dream telling me I will not marry. Pls help me o, what should I do? I really love this man o he loves me too, and for the past 2 years we’ve dated he’s been the best. Please, I need your advice o. My friends are telling me to do court even people that know my mom advised me to do court o. My dad no kúkú get say. What should I do? I’ll be I’m the comment section. Thank you [sic].”

Are you sure the prophet is not eyeing you?

On a serious note, it also connotes some spiritual dimension if you've been seeing your mom in a dream telling you that you won't marry. I'm suspecting your mum to be involved in some diabolical activities.

If you're not spiritually fortified yourself you can't dare your mum o.

She's a principality and I don't intend to frighten you.

To dare her you must have a higher power and that can only be found in Jesus.

If you're not born again, you had better know that there's no marriage for you.

If the prophecy is from a Pentecostal prophet, just ignore it and surrender your life to Jesus, confirm from the Holy Spirit if you should still marry your sweetheart. If the answer is positive, go ahead.

How do you know if it's positive, both you and somebody else who is not even aware of what you are going will also tell you that you should go ahead.

When you surrender your life to Jesus, things are smoother than many can imagine.

Religion / Re: Can You Give Your Tithe To Your Parents Or Christians In Need sometimes? by IDERAWOLE(m): 12:07pm On Feb 25
Corrections:
In Christianity, the importance of tithing can not be ignored. God instructed Christians to bring 10th of their total income to his storehouse or temple.

However, in today's modern world, people no longer give animals or material things as Tithe (not that it is forbidden) but instead all have been monetized.

One may wonder and ask the following questions:

* Why do Christians have to bring their TITHES to God's storehouse or temple?

* What is God's understanding of a store house or temple?

* Can one give his/her TITHE to parents or people if they are in need?

WHY DO CHRISTIANS HAVE to bring their TITHE to God's storehouse/ temple?

Malachi 3:10

New Living Translation
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test.

Just as it is written in the scripture, we give TITHE so that there will be enough in the temple or store house of God.

WHAT IS GOD'S UNDERSTANDING OF STOREHOUSE/ TEMPLE?

The scripture gives us a clear idea of God's understanding on what a storehouse/ temple is. In the scripture we can classify God's understanding of a storehouse/ temple as the following:

* Store house/ temple view by God as a Physical man made structures.

* Store house/ temple view by God as a human body (that is spirit with a soul)

STOREHOUSE/TEMPLE VIEW BY GOD AS A "PHYSICAL MAN MADE STRUCTURE"

Here God views a temple or storehouse as a structure built by man. It is always physical in nature.

Ezra 1: 3

New International Version
Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the LORD, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem, and may their God be with them.

1Chronicles 28:3
New International Version
But God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for my Name, because you are a warrior and have shed blood.’

Here we can clearly see that God is referring a house/temple as a man made structure.

STOREHOUSE/TEMPLE VIEW BY GOD AS A HUMAN BODY (THAT IS SPIRIT WITH A SOUL)

Here, God does not view a storehouse or temple as a physical man made structure but rather he views it as a human body that has a soul and a spirit.


1Corinthians 6:19-20 (ESV),

He asks, “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”

John 4: 21-23

21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit (the spirit is inside the body) and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

Here Jesus was trying to tell us that our body will be the temple where God will be worshipped which confirms that God also sees our body as a storehouse/ temple.

Matthew 12:43-45

43 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says[b], ‘I will return to the house I left[/b].’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there (because they see it just as God sees it as a house too) And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”

Here, Jesus is referring to human's body (that has a spirit and a soul) to be a house where demons could dwell or live. It opens our eye to the fact that God who is a spirit also sees our human physical body as a temple/house.

CAN ONE GIVE HIS/ HER TITHE TO PARENTS OR PEOPLE IF THEY ARE IN NEED?

Now, that we understand how God sees or defines a " storehouse or temple", we can now proceed to answering the question. The following are the 3 reasons why you can give your TITHE to your parents or people if they are in need.

* Jesus says in mark7:11-12

Mark7:11-12
New international Version
11 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)— 12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. 13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

Here, Jesus was telling the people how wrong they were when they refused to help their parents with things (including tithe) they had dedicated to give God when they were seriously in need. If your parents are in serious need of money and you could help them with your tithe (because that is what is left to help) but told them "you rather give the money to God as tithe than them", Jesus says you are wrong.

* Your parents/ people are temple or storehouse (spirits that live in body with soul) of God by scriptures.

Corinthians 6:19-20 (ESV),

He asks, “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!!

This article is written to let us see from scriptures (bible) view that while it good to take our tithe to physical house of God we should not also condem the fact that humans body is also seen by God as a temple or storehouse in which we can invest our tithe in if they are in need of it after we have given every other things.


Meanwhile,, Jesus is waiting for you because jesus is the messiah the world is waiting so connect with him today! !!!


HOW TO CONNECT WITH JESUS

Your body is the house of God is it clean or dirty? You can make it clean by connecting to Jesus today.

John14:6
Jesus told him ' I am the way-
Yes, and the truth and the life. No one can GET to the father (GOD) except by means of me (JESUS ).


Say lord Jesus am sorry for the sins have committed and today I accept you as the son of God and as my lord and personal savior. Help me to follow you now and for ever more. Amen!!!

The greatest injustice anyone can do to him/herself as believer in Christ Jesus not just as an attendee in church services is not to understand that the book of Hebrews said if there's no fault with the old testament there would've been no need for the new.

So, what's the new testament saying about the tithes? Find out.

What are the places in the new testament where tithes are mentioned? Pls bring them out so that can look at them. Until then, saying anything about your questions will only be academic exercise.
Career / Re: This Happened In My New Work Place. Please advice by IDERAWOLE(m): 9:28pm On Jan 13
Jackanda1:
I recently applied to work in an organisation.

After passing the interview and checks, the management was impressed and decided to hire and give me a major role in the company.

When i asked about the payment for my position, they threw me a popular question;
HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD PAY YOU?

I gave them a figure in mind, a little above what i got in my former job. Their facial expression was 'WoW'.

I started work on tuesday and after making friends and chating the secretary, i found out that i earn twice less than the staffs in the company in the same position.

Infact, i earn a little more than the gateman and cleaner. The secretary even earns more.

Its my fault, should have done some checks on the strength and salary structure of the firm before applying.

I feel discouraged. With this information, i won't be able fuction properly. Plus this secretary with her loud mouth will spread the news in the company, making me feel worst.

Anyone with this experience? Please console me.


Justify your current pay, prove to them that you're indispensable and thereafter ask for twice what you're earning now.

However, if the only thing you're after is salary, resign and look for another job.

UYEMDO35:
Why does my stepmother keep ruining my life, manipulating the people around me, and keep doing things that hurt me and my siblings?
Life has been so unbearable ever since she came into our house.....
She constantly seek to destroy the good relationship that I have with my father and When she notice that am not around she start condemning me infront of my father and pretend to be nice when she sees me.
And dis woman already have 2 children that are upto my age but she doesn't talk much about dem but instead prefer to gossip us to my father..... My father on d other side is not even responsible as a man but instead prefer to sit with her and download all our past life to her in which she now later use it against I and my siblings.
My experience with dis so call people call family wasn't a child's play. They made my life look miserable for me
after graduating from school so i decided to come home to stay with dem pending till when my results will be out but instead dis people use my eyes see shege. My unknown step mother wan suffer me with food and I nearly die of hunger.
I just couldn't tolerate their attitude anymore so I decided to purchase Army form when it came out online.
And God saw me through the screening process and I made it to the final list in which we will be going for training soon.

Once everything goes well for me I intent to ghost dem cuz dis was never my plan to join the military.


I wanted to yap you before seeing the conclusion of your story.

Thank God that you've gotten a plan in the pipeline.

Your family situation is the norm; anything better than your story anywhere is an exception.

You'll soon understand what it means to come in between a man and his wife. Bedmatics doesn't know "my children" o.

Most women are dumbs, thinking that they're smart. What will she gain by putting a wedge between a man and his children? It's simply just stupidity and dull brain of the woman in question.

For you, be patient and encourage your siblings to be patient too.

Very soon, you'll all be out of that house. While you're still there with your father, maintain a cool headedness. She will soon regret her retched life.

As soon as you are out of NDA now, get a house for you and all your siblings and move on.

All the best.

No he copied the acct no. And sent the money (to another person, the wrong acct. No. I provided)....

Now we had a discussion which lead to analysing the situation and I told him we both have blames on this transaction, but he doesn't want to acknowledge his fault.

Now the main question is
If you sent money to a wrong bank acct, who is to blame


You're both wrong.

He's more dumb.

How can you copy only account number without confirming with the beneficiary number?

Useless bank too. How can you process payment without the combination of both the account numbers and account name?

Family / Re: Broken Marriage, Please Advise me by IDERAWOLE(m): 8:36pm On Nov 14, 2023
NdubisiCharles:
Good day pals, I have a sister whose husband abandoned for the past 8 yrs now,
with kids, male and female, the boy is now 9yrs, while the girl is now 8 yrs, my sis was abandoned after giving birth to the little girl.
She single handedly took the children far away and keep raising them up till date, now this is happening.

Yesterday, I received a call from my young sis, saying that her forgotten husband just called and was pleading for her return, that what will she do, that she needs my advice as senior, for me not to fall into conclusion I gave her 48 hours to reply to her, .....

Today I called the man (husband) he sounds so calm, "he said he need them back, he told me that he never chase my sis away, that it was my sis that carry her bag and left his house. Ran away with the 2kids, that he paid my sis bride price, he has visited my family for reconciliation but sis said she ain't going back that hunger is in the house, he admitted that then he was broke, "that he is not a drunker, womanizer, fetish, or never lay hand on my sis, and that he is God fearing man" only that he has no money when asked my sis she confirmed it.

Please friends advice me on what to do

You don't give advice in the circumstance except you are equipped with the skill to read people. You need to invite the husband to your place with his wife and let him repeat what he's requesting from the wife.

While he's talking you can make a good assessment of his genuine intentions or otherwise.

The following should be a guide to assess his readiness for a new start. It's never too late to restart:

1. Does he have a job or earning any income now?

2. Does he have accommodation for the family now?

3. What new thing has he learnt about marriage in the last 8yrs.

4. Ask your sister what made her to pack out the last time.

5. What's the assurance that she is going to stay now irrespective of the condition in the family.

6. Is she ready to assist her husband this time around with her own resources without insulting him in case things are not going smoothly.

By the time you are done with these questions you should be able to say go back or stay where you are.

Family / Re: Support For New Mothers by IDERAWOLE(m): 10:06am On Nov 03, 2023
Creating a safe and stimulating environment for your baby is crucial for their growth and development. Here are some tips to help you achieve this:

Safety:

1. Baby-Proofing: Childproof your home by securing cabinets, electrical outlets, and sharp corners. Install safety gates at staircases and keep small objects out of reach.

2. Crib Safety: Ensure the crib meets safety standards. Use a firm mattress with a fitted sheet. Remove pillows, stuffed animals, and blankets from the crib to reduce the risk of suffocation.

3. Supervision: Always supervise your baby, especially when they are on a changing table, bed, or any elevated surface.

4. Secure Furniture: Anchor heavy furniture to the wall to prevent tip-overs. This includes bookshelves, dressers, and TV stands.

5. Safe Toys: Choose age-appropriate toys that do not have small parts that can be a choking hazard. Regularly inspect toys for wear and tear.

6. Baby Gates: Use baby gates to keep your baby out of areas that haven't been childproofed.

7. Burn Prevention: Keep hot beverages and foods out of reach, and use stove knob covers to prevent burns. Set the water heater temperature to prevent scalds.

8. Safeguarding Bath Time: Never leave your baby unattended during bath time. Make sure the water temperature is comfortable and test it with your elbow to avoid scalding.

Stimulation:

1. Tummy Time: Encourage tummy time to help your baby develop neck and upper body strength. Place colorful toys within their reach to make it engaging.

2. Visual Stimulation: Hang mobiles or colorful pictures near the crib. Babies are drawn to high-contrast images.

3. Talk to Your Baby: Babies love to hear your voice. Talk, sing, and read to them regularly. This helps with language development.

4. Play and Interaction: Engage in interactive play, like peek-a-boo, and provide toys that encourage sensory exploration, such as soft toys and rattles.

5. Rotate Toys: Introduce new toys and rotate them regularly to keep your baby engaged and curious.

6. Explore Outdoors: When your baby is old enough, take them for walks or to a safe, outdoor play area to introduce them to new sights and sounds.

7. Music and Lullabie[/i]s: Play soothing music or lullabies to create a calming environment and encourage auditory development.

8. [i]Stimulating Environment
: Make the nursery a stimulating place with colorful decorations and soft, comfortable items.

9. Routine and Consistency: Establish a daily routine. Babies thrive on predictability, and a consistent schedule can create a sense of security.

10. Physical Interaction: Cuddle, hold, and carry your baby. Physical touch is vital for bonding and emotional development.

Remember that each baby is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Pay attention to your baby's cues and adjust the environment and activities accordingly. A safe and stimulating environment will provide a strong foundation for your baby's development and well-being.

Certainly, here are some breastfeeding basics, tips, and techniques for new moms:


Breastfeeding Benefits:
Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for your newborn. It provides essential nutrients and antibodies that protect your baby from infections and diseases. Breastfeeding also promotes bonding between you and your baby.

Get Comfortable:
- Find a quiet and comfortable spot to breastfeed. Support your back with pillows, and use a footstool to raise your feet if needed. A relaxed posture is crucial.

Proper Latch:
- To ensure a good latch, make sure your baby's mouth covers as much of the areola (the dark area around the nipple) as possible. This helps your baby get a good amount of milk and prevents nipple pain.

Frequent Feeding:
- Newborns feed frequently, about 8 to 12 times a day. Follow your baby's hunger cues, like rooting, sucking, or hand-to-mouth movements.

Breastfeeding Positions:
- Experiment with various positions, such as the cradle hold, football hold, or side-lying position, to find what's most comfortable for you and your baby.

Empty One Breast Before Switching:
- Allow your baby to empty one breast before offering the other. This ensures that your baby gets both foremilk (watery and thirst-quenching) and hindmilk (rich in fats).

Watch for Swallowing:
- Listen for the sound of swallowing, which indicates that your baby is getting milk. You should also notice your baby's jaw moving.

Stay Hydrated and Eat Well:
- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and maintain a healthy diet with a variety of nutrients. What you eat can affect the quality of your breast milk.

Nipple Care:
- Keep an eye on your nipples. If they become sore or cracked, use lanolin cream or breast shields for relief.

Seek Support:
- If you're experiencing challenges with breastfeeding, don't hesitate to seek help from a lactation consultant or a healthcare provider. They can offer guidance and support.

Pumping and Storing Milk:
- If you plan to pump and store breast milk, invest in a good-quality breast pump. Follow safe storage guidelines for expressed milk.

Nighttime Feedings:
- Be prepared for nighttime feedings. Keep a dim light in the room and use a comfortable chair. It's a good idea to have a water bottle and snacks nearby.

Stay Patient and Persistent:
- Breastfeeding can be a learning process for both you and your baby. It's okay to ask for help and be patient with yourself.

Remember, every breastfeeding journey is unique, and it's okay to adapt techniques and strategies that work best for you and your baby. Breastfeeding can be a beautiful and rewarding experience, but it can also be challenging. Seek the support you need and trust your instincts as a new mom.

Many wonder why women get on the edge after having a new baby, particularly their first child.

If you're a parent, you'll agree with me that it's not a teaparty to become a mother as sweet as that can be.

The job of parenting is one for two people, but we all know that mothers are the direct workmen in this. So these information should help mothers appreciably.

In the next couple of days, mothers can check out here for fresh ideas, products that can make this journey quite enjoyable.

Nnamdi Kanu is different from this guy. MNK is a genuine freedom fighter unlike this political noise maker. If Nnamdi Kanu has jettison his idea of BIAFRA since, he would have regained freedom.

MNK would prefer to die in prison than abaddon BIAFRAN agitation. Nnamdi Kanu is the Mandela of our time. Fact

You got it right!

The Mandela of our time.

By the time he leaves the prison, he'll be the same age Mandela too left the prison.

As a Christian, a bride is officially yours to wife after paying the bride price to the parents and there is an agreement with both of you and the respective families. Wedding or not isn't compulsory (traditional or White). That's the biblical instructions. Thanks


Someone pls help me with any amount for foodstuffs please. I'm Soo hungry and no work comingcry

From the comments you made here about what constitute a marriage, you're more than qualified to be a content producer on the social media, that can earn you good amount of money regularly. Rather than be begging for food money, go learn how to monetize this knowledge that you have.

No excuse of not knowing where to learn that. That phone in your hands and internet connection, there are so many sites that can teach you how to start a business with little or no money at all.

Check out an app called Shopify and learn how to make money with it.

All the best.
Family / Re: The Woman My Husband Left Me For Is Pregnant And I'm Not Handling It Well by IDERAWOLE(m): 4:45am On Sep 12, 2023
Mille:
I came across this post on Reddit and it's triggering.

Anyone in the woman's shoe can say all manner of things.
Surely you didn't handle it well. You allowed the latest news from the diagnosis to take the better of you. It's very natural.

Unfortunately for you, you're asking for help too late. This is what you should have done the moment the news came.

Your husband will be highly frustrated knowing that the weakness is from you. What he was asking for is exactly what you might have demanded for too if he's the source of your inability to conceive.

Sorry, you broke down on hearing the news. You ought to have played the game of selflessness by asking him those offers he gave you. The truth is that you're selfish.

Having gotten to this low point, your next move is to calm down and see what he's going to do next, thereafter make your move. The worst scenario is to divorce and both of you move on.

You can still have a baby depending on your age now. Even at that, there's still life to live. A new partner is still ahead of you. Only drop your selfish attitude. Live for others and you'll be shocked how this life can be a field of fun.

You're not here just to have babies, but to touch lives. Real life begins from there.

My husband is not the same man I fell in love with.

My husband changed totally after wedding day, in fact, it started on the wedding night and its giving me a lot of concern.

It's not that he is not talking to me or we are fighting, but he is not the cheerful happy person anymore.

After months of trying to get what the problem is, he finally opened up to me and I don't know what my fault is, I think he is overreacting.

My husband works in an insurance company and he is just a junior staff, he earns 150k per month, so he is not doing that bad.

When we wanted to get married, my dad wrote the wedding list and everything he would bring, when he saw them, he fumed that they were too much and they should reduce it but my dad insisted that he won't collect it twice, I also told him if he really loves me, he would provide them, he could get help from his family too, it is called bride price and other things, and it is once.

We had little issue then but he later resolved it.

He brought everything they ask him for

During the wedding, my parents told him to buy a cow, rent a hall and decorate it then they'll take care of other things. He said he didn't have money for a big hall and he would prefer a field ground but my dad insisted that rain could disrupt things and he has many people coming.

That almost cause issues too, I had to support him with 50k to get the hall because I know who my dad is, he won't back out.

I didn't know how he did it, he took the hall and designed it, he bought cow too.

His family brought food and everything went fine and that was it.

I don't know what was keeping him moody until he spoke up.

He said I couldn't fight for him, I was there supporting my parents and watch them extorting him, did I even know he had to collect loan to pay for those things?

I got angry because he used the word 'extorting'.

He was the one that wanted to have my hand in marriage and if he cherish me, he should do all they wanted since he is not paying twice.

After I said this, he stopped talking in the house, he comes home, eat and go to bed.

I tried talking to him but he would listen but not talk, he is cold to himself and prefer his privacy.

Have I said something wrong?

I don't like whats happening. My marriage is too young to be going through all these.

I am tired, I don't know what to do.


keep enjoying his moody attitude sister now. Why are you complaining now?

Good afternoon Nairalanders, pls I need your advice. I’m married 28 years, no children yet. Newly wedded, I have a problem. I don’t last long on bed. I cum very quickly and it takes a long time like 4 hours for me to get another erection and most times it’s not very hard like my first erection.

I was told the nitric oxide in my body is low. Pls I need help. How do I boost my nitric oxide in my body or if there are any supplements let me buy.

I’m afraid if I don’t do anything now my wife might eventually cheat in the future. I no longer have my morning erection like some guys do. I have exercise, did ginger, garlic, bitter Kola nothing seems to be working.

What can I do to remedy my situation. Pls no talk of hospital health wise I’m very okay. No diabetics or anything no infection pls help me so I can save my marriage and my myself.

Be sure say you no get any infection o!

Saw this on Facebook and it really got me, masturbation has really destroyed a lot of people embarassed



https://www.facebook.com/100081915090915/posts/pfbid0TEseqPX5ef8o4vvKHEyLm9Jb84qaecFGKL4MU45jrK7EHB2Km5EcfXGiWR8qxNAMl/

Many a times wives drive their men to resume their masturbation.

You're surprised that you had to beg him for sex most of the time, if another person should ask your hubby why should his wife beg for sex, the response will be a surprise.

There has always been this lie out there about genders drive for sex; men can have sex in 30 seconds, whereas it will take a whole day to prime a woman for sex. This is the lie that has been destroying the sex and other areas of lives of couples in recent times. Men too have moods, not only women.

Those moments when a husband will be looking for cuddling from the wife and all you get is, pls leave me alone because of one thing or the other, no matter how genuine the woman's complaints may be, You need to realize that this is what causes what you're talking about now.

Just sit the man down and talk things over, and not that grandstanding of "I'm disappointed in my husband" that you're speaking all about.

Let me tell you, it's not going to be an overnight solution, because the guy has found solution to relieve himself when you PROBABLY are not there.

All of what I said may not be applicable to you, but please come down from this high horse of "I'm disappointed".

Family / Re: Men Are Afraid Of Successful Women. by IDERAWOLE(m): 6:49am On Apr 20, 2023
Rokiat:
This is a great topic with many layers to it.


The problem is that many women lead with their achievements. They achieved and believe oh well
I’m a high achiever I don’t gotta clean for no man I don’t gotta cook for no man infact I don’t need a man. That’s the issue right there.

I have said it before and I will say it here again, men don’t give a damn about a woman’s achievements. Maybe your home girls will clap for you but this is not all a man is looking for. An uneducated woman who’s broke and never been to college don’t work but can cook, have good nurturing skills, a good mother, fine as hell, good in bed, will always get the better man than a woman who’s hella accomplished and is totally out of touch with her womanly side and roles.

Fun fact as you are off to work, he’s fu..cking that unemployed woman that truly makes him feel like a man.



Also many of these women achieved and start shouting it at the top of their lungs, a big turn off to many men. A man’s would love you to leave space for him to come in and be a man, provide for you, get you that car that house for the family etc but if you buy yourself all
Of these things and claiming to be an independent strong woman that has everything and the only thing you need is a man well my sister you will stay long waiting for that man.

The truth is bitter, but a successful man is treated like a big baller in society but you as a successful woman well sorry but many men don’t care. And the issue is that many successfully women wants the accolades, the praises, special treatment and to be exempt from their womanly duties simply because they are successful in society. It’s just as bad as men wanting special treatment and better positions because they look good. Lol that’s funny but imagine a man thinking because he looks good so he will get a higher position…rarely ever as in ever. A woman looks yes that matters but a man? Nope not really because that doesn’t impact on his ability to provide or protect. Women have to stop thinking just because they are successful and high achievers they don’t gotta do what a man’s requires of a woman to
Make him feel like a man.


And this is for the women that wants lasting and happy relationships. If you want to be a strong independent woman that don’t need no man kudos to you, do you but you can’t have your cake and eat it too.




If you have this mindset Rokiat, and that picture I saw in your profile, then your babe is living in heaven right here on earth. You rock! Kudos lady.
