Romance › Re: On Nigerian Women And (lack Of) Future Ambition by KMB: 12:55am On Sep 23, 2014 |
safarigirl: If you're one who has stayed within the female hostel of any Nigerian University, you'll find that most of it's occupants share similar hopes and dreams- and no, it's not to excel in their chosen career paths.
One of the lecturers in my school aptly described women as 'a waste of education'...no, it wasn't an insult, it was just stating the obvious. You find a woman who has hustled through primary, secondary and University education. One who looked set to be a force to reckon with in the world of business or law or medicine, I mean a female with straight A's and you think Nigerian women may be getting things right, only to follow her back to her hostel and hear these heart-breaking words:
"Omo, after school na to find husband marry remain."
In the real sense of the word this is translated to:
"After school, I'll fling my degee inside one iron box in my dad's storeroom, find a perfect mugu that will put a ring on my finger, buy me a car, set up a boutique/beauty saloon for me and all I have to do to get this is spread my legs for him and push out little people with his DNA"
Nigerian women view marriage the same way hustling Nigerian men view the US Green Card- an avenue to escape life's troubles. So in the same way you find 23 year old Nigerian men marrying 56 year old American women, you find young, promising women relegated to some man's priority list.
I don't think most Nigerian women realise that nobody wants to get attached to a leech. If you allow some Nigerian women, they would even want their husbands to carry the babies and birth them as well. And when you ask why they don't want to build wealth with a man, you hear:
"I've already suffered in my father's house. I don't want to continue suffering in my husband's house"
Now unless you're getting married to a no-good leech like yourself, there is no reason why building wealth with a man should be termed 'suffering'
Even on Sun Newspaper's 'Beauty Of The Week' it's the same thing.
Future Ambition: Getting Married And Having Kids
If you think God put you on this earth to make a liability of yourself, you need to think again. There is more to life than being someone's baby mama. There is a purpose for getting an education that lies beyond being able to speak good english whenever you and your man attend social functions
Nigerian women need to sit down and re-evaluate their lives. God sent you to assist a man, not to add to his problems. Men appreciate women who can think for themselves, who want to contribute to the family (and I don't mean churning out kids). There is nothing more endearing than a smart woman who views men as companions rather than money bags.
Don't waste the education your parents worked so hard to provide for you. Break the stereotype, Nigerian women should be more than gold-digging leeches. If the likes of Oby Ezekwesili, Joke Silva, NOI can be successful career women as well as wives and mothers, then we all need to dust up our certificates and CVs and have proper future ambitions.
God Bless You...and don't take this the wrong way  It's a shame but so true |

Crown him ye martyrs of your God, who from his altar call: extol the stem of Jesse's rod, and crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all!
Ye seed of Israel's chosen race, ye ransomed of the fall, hail him who saves you by his grace. and crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all!
Hail him, ye heirs of David's line, whom David Lord did call, the God incarnate, Man divine, and crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all!
Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget the wormwood and the gall, go spread your trophies at his feet, and crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all!

Celebrities › Joan Rivers Fashion Police Dies At 81 by KMB(op): 9:27pm On Sep 04, 2014 |
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2744030/BREAKING-NEWS-Joan-Rivers-dies-age-81.htmlLegendary comedienne Joan Rivers died in a Manhattan hospital today, a week after she went into cardiac arrest during a routine throat procedure. In a statement, her daughter Melissa said the 81-year-old passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family. The legendary comedienne was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital a week ago after going into cardiac arrest during an outpatient procedure on her vocal chords at another clinic, which is now under investigation. She has been at the center of American entertainment since her breakthrough in 1965 when she broke through on the Tonight Show. The mother of one, daughter Melissa, and doting grandmother to Melissa’s son, Cooper has most recently hosted Fashion Police on the E! network. 'It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother, Joan Rivers,’ Melissa Rivers said in a statement released to the press Thursday. ‘She passed peacefully at 1:17pm surrounded by family and close friends. My son and I would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff of Mount Sinai Hospital for the amazing care they provided for my mother. ‘Cooper and I have found ourselves humbled by the outpouring of love, support, and prayers we have received from around the world. They have been heard and appreciated." ‘My mother’s greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon.’ A funeral for Joan Rivers will be held Sunday at Temple Emanu-El. Earlier in the day, the New York state Department of Health revealed it is now looking into Yorkville Endoscopy - the clinic where Rivers had the ill-fate surgery. State officials said they are reviewing the case, but have yet to launch an official investigation. Spokesman James O'Hare said Thursday that the department is looking into 'the whole matter.' He declined to discuss specifics |

Ishilove: Okay I've checked. That's true, but who has stroke in their 20s?? It is also not recommended for people who are about to have surgery because it would mean being sedentary for a prolonged period of time. Bottomline is if you want to take tranexamic acid, make sure you are living an active lifestyle. Any age can have a stroke and moreover tranexamic can increase your chances of having one. It resolves the issue of heavy menstrual flow but there is always a risk. Read this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2177766/Jennie-Cosh-Student-20-suffers-shock-stroke-dinner-parents.html |

jennykadry: Have you checked yourself for fibroids? Ask your doctor to prescribe you some tranexamic acid tablets. You only take those when you are on your period beginning from the moment you spot the blood(first day of menstrual flow) until the last day. You will bleed less very less...like normal.
Also get yourself some iron tablets....and most importantly get your doctor to give you a referral for a full blood count. Most heavy bleeders suffer from iron deficiency
All the best. So true. Your iron level needs to be maintained, to avoid fatigue. |
Family › Re: Please Advise! Heavy Menstrual Period!!! by KMB: 8:28pm On Aug 20, 2014 |
Ishilove: LaShawn, have you tried Tranexamic acid? It works wonders. You can google it.
Also, did your doctor recommend an HSG for you? I have a colleague who was/is facing a similar issue. Her bleeding was so terrible that she could soak through 5 pads a day. Well, she went to the clinic and did a pelvic scan, nothing came out. Not satisfied, she moved to a gynaecologist who sent her to do an HSG, which is an xray of the interior of the uterus. It turns out that she has fibroids. Fibroids cause such satanically heavy flows, but I pray it isn't your portion. It could just be your hormones acting up. But for the heavy flow, I suggest you ask your doctor to prescribe Tranexamic acid. It works in about 80% of menorrhagia cases. You are right it works but the side effects are not exactly wonderful. |

LaShawn: Please this is not for the squeamish. If you are, kindly click on your back button. If you also don't have a positive comment, you don't have to leave any.
I posted this here Because of the mothers who I know might have one or two advice. If You're about to suggest I visit the health section, I did more than that. I visited a hospital.
I started menstruating when I was in SS2. I'm an only girl, so there wasn't any other person to compare blood loss volume to. The first time, the blood stopped on the third day, and over time, I was pretty much able to manage things well that my roommates thought I hadn't started menstrual periods. It was light, convenient and I didn't have to do anything outside my daily routine.
Fast forward to today. I was at a meeting and stood up and I felt blood gush out so much that I had to collapse back on my seat, paralyzed with the thought of it seeping through my pants and running down my legs into a bloody puddle at my feet. Actually, that has happened before, just that nobody was around to see it.
It was/is that bad and has been for some years.
Immediately one period finishes without any serious accident, I find myself thinking of the other one to come, wondering if that would be the time of disgrace.
I am honestly tired, physically and emotionally. I went to a gynecologist who placed me on birth control which he said would reduce it a good 60%. It didn't work. If anything, I started getting cramps which I normally don't have.
I have done scans-Twice. The doctor said there isn't anything on the result that should be making me bleed so. One of the result had a functional cyst, which was Because I was ovulating.
I have done high vajay swab twice. All they found were normal epithelial cells.
I was supposed to go back to the doctor and give feedback, But I moved to another.
I'm seriously thinking of having sex, Maybe it will afford me the opportunity of being able to tame this issue with tampax/tampon. Ive never been able to do that because ive not had sex before. Because as it is,.I feel like I'm running out of options. I don't want that day to come, that I would have to run for the bathroom with blood dripping all over. I'm just tired. And sick.
Like today, I soaked through my menstrual padding, through my pant, and then my khaki short short that was under my skirt.
