Lol I just want the weight off jere.I recently gained it and some of my clothes aren't extra-yansh proof. Jogging? ^groans I don't want to do any wo-ooo-rk.Lemme try the watermelon first.

Platinum you also NEED to arrange for and put the BANK ACCOUNT NUMBERS of the mother or father ON THIS THREAD so people resident in Nigeria may donate to it. There's been a constant request for that account number here.

They can put irrelevancies like how to make moimoi on the front page, but not something like this? What's the matter with these people? Not everyone visits the Politics Section, and people who might help won't know about this boy unless it's on the front page.Seun!

Why would the mods be deleting your posts about Josh? That would be insane. Checking out the website. So nice of you!
Typo with 'receipt' and it should be 'Joshua's Surgery'.I'm so proud of y'all!

platinumnk:
thanks

Thanks.

Ps. u are so cute

Are you putting together some account for NLanders to pay into? Mebbe we should do that; have a Nairaland account for something like this,so we can throw our financial weight behind things like this. Amounts we spend on luxury shopping in a day is the difference between life and death for someone else. Nothing wrong with indulging ourselves but we're here for other people as well.If you doubt the story visit the boy at the Teaching Hospital in Enugu, or send someone there, and let us hear word. The mother's number is still 07031370650. Enough jaw-jawing about scams. Iyen o kan e. Se nkan to ba fe se.Platinum since you've been talking to Linda as well perhaps you can persuade her to open a savings account, so one pay into that directly? Enough talk. Let's frigging DO something already. Time is going naw.

@akwuakana
All these products are at amazon na. I either order them online or buy several months' supply when I'm out the country. When you find them locally they're usually unnecessarily expensive. A friend of mine has a service that buys products from the US and delivers to your door. It takes about a week to get anything you want to you. Website www.palemilion.com If you can't find them locally and you're in Nigeria, just use the service. 

@yjay
After all the creams and lotions that have been posted on this website?lol Try the Dove Richly Nourishing lotion on the previous page. It's specially for Dry Skin and moisturises wonderfully.

Any advice on how to get rid of 10lbs on my thigh, tummy and bum areas? Painlessly? I don't know where they came from.

Stillwater wants a good deodorant/antiperspirant.Recommendations?

That's your IG's idea of being slick. He doesn't give a damn about enforcing the law. People with half the brain of a flea are running things, they make good-looking laws they don't enforce. They don't give a rat's ass about your life, even if you're ten thousand times more valuable than their useless behinds they won't think twice about dispatching you with a bullet over some imagined slight.

The police recruitment methods are full of holes big enough for a whale to swim through. Dumb, mean rats that have failed at everything in life turn to the Police Force and find themselves at home. It's time they reevaluate the selection process, and reign in those dumb, black-wearing slimeballs before they murder half the country.Give a man a little power and the first thing he does is abuse it. We all do it. There should be something to check police excesss, and punish it severely. It will stop kia kia.Oloriburuku incorporated.

LMAO! Only me? Wetin I do na? And after the aspirin wax and the dog house, y'all go back to watching Emily Rose and shaking in your boots, abi? The frigging thing wasn't horrible, what do you want me to do, pretend to be scared? Infamous aspirin wax. lol. Ika. It was mask.

Lol I meant the 'patently obvious and empirically verified' quote proposing 'scientific solutions.'

bawomolo:
umm there are actually attention whores who do such things. especially women claiming to be bi.

Women who claim to be bi? Look how smug you sound, like you've been a woman before and overcame, and so know all about it. Bawolomo. J. Freud

@Gamine
Whose pompous quote is that in your previous post.Not everyone wants a kid.But those who do and aren't 'straight' generally don't have sex against the grain to get one. There are sperm banks, surrogate motherhood,adoption,etc. Nature ke? What's that?

And Please don't forget to add OLAY REGENERIST DAILY REGENERATING SERUM to your beauty regime. It'll be one of the best things you ever did for your skin. You won't be sorry. You can apply just that to your face, or apply your regular moisturiser on top of it; they won't 'disturb' each other and each will work just fine.

I'm switching from Philosophy Hope to DERMA E HYALURONIC ACID NIGHT CREME.I hear it's fantastic. And Avon ANEW LUMINOSITY for day cream (face) and Neutrogena Visibly Even (Body). I can compare three products that way and see what works.

I asked and these are the two most consistent answers:
REVLON SKINLIGHTS INSTANT SKIN BRIGHTENER.spf 15
Yes, it's foundation. the colours are Warm Light, Natural Light , golden light and Pink Light. It's scarce though.

BARE MINERALS FOUNDATION. It comes in many flesh-toned colours and apparently is 'simply marvelous', and 'the best foundation there is'.

For uneven skin tone, one of them suggested you use any of these two.MELADERM did not work for her hyperpigmentation. She says she used FIVE jars with ZERO results. For such a high-priced product it's a 'bad product' for so many and works for so few.

NADINOLA EXTRA STRENGTH FADE CREAM
It will remove hyperpigmentation in 1 to 3 weeks, depending on skin type. STOP using it soon as the skin is clear.

AVON ANEW LUMINOSITY ULTRA ADVANCED SKIN BRIGHTENER SPF15
Didn't say what it did, only that you won't stop using this once you see how wonderful it is. Suitable For long term use? Yes.

Lol the tiny dagger's a great touch na. Mebbe, after some disastrous make-up session, to kill oneself with. 

I don't use foundation. And once your skin's back to being smooth and even,you don't need it. Ever wonder why women's faces seem to age faster than men's? Or why your facial skin seems older than, say, the skin on your upper arms and tummy? For one, the sun isn't getting to those areas, for another; years of daily make-up is stressing out the facial skin, clogging the pores and producing tired, older face skin. Did you know that not cleansing the face properly ages the skin? There's moisturiser, sunscreen, foundation, powder,etc, on our poor little faces everyday, and instead of washing it off thoroughly with a good, mild soap, many of us use cleansers that not only NOT clean the face well, but deposit more layers of debris.

Soap is still the best way to cleanse your face. Steer clear of all those cleansers with additives like olive oil, aloe vera,glycerin, perfume, etc, Those things are deposited on your skin, defeating the purpose. Forget those fancy 'cleansers'. Just use soap,  baby soap or any mild soap with NO additives whatsoever. They do the job.Foundation clogs the skins pores, though I hear they're making ones that don't now. Less is more with make up. You're not supposed to look as if you're wearing any. For a dewy, natural look I use translucent powder, any good brand, or NARS bronzing powder in Casino. I sometimes forgo it entirely and just apply eyeliner and lipstick/gloss. If you absolutely must use foundation please make it the non-clogging types. I could find out a few good ones from friends if you like.

Razor bumps,black spots and ingrown hair from shaving? Can't give a rating on these products as I've never used them, but I hear they're great and for best results, use all three. They're for men in the main, but women can use them as well for bikini lines. They came highly recommended by guys. I use a Tweezerman for my eyebrows and guarantee its quality.

PRINCE REIGNS INGROWN HAIR GEL
TEND SKIN
TWEEZERMAN STAINLESS STEEL INGROWN SPLINTERTWEEZE

Male Models use Prince Reigns and Tend Skin for bumps and ingrown hair, for smooth shaves and blemish-free facial skin. The Tweezerman item has directions, including disinfecting its tip in alcohol before and after use, and wiping the treated area with hydrogen peroxide to disinfect skin.

Lol it's Spikie and JS in The Wuss Club.
Saw The Godsend
Robert DeNiro, Greg Kinnear, Rebbecca Romijn-Stamos, Cameron Bright.
A young couple lose their only child in a terrible accident. Life is bleak,until an elderly,mysterious Doctor makes them a strange proposal: He can bring the child back.
Run of the mill, formulaic thriller, nothing special at all.

URBAN DECAY LIPSTICK AND LIQUID EYELINER
5 STARS

This is some fabulous lipstick, lovelier than the overpriced NARS range. It feels good, it looks AMAZING and tastes great. Unique design; a half-buried dagger at the base that made me guffaw when I opened the package. There are dozens of wonderfully decadent descriptive colours, from Apocalypse to Love Child to Buzzkill to Indecent and Wicked and Deviant.Just fabulous. 

URBAN DECAY LIQUID EYELINER.

I hated liquid eyeliner. If they don't smudge, like Mary Kay's, they give you raccoon eyes in hours. But URBAN DECAY liquid eyeliner is simply PERFECT, no smudging or smearing, it stays fast, lasts forever and your eyes look fabulous. I bought it in Perversion and Oil Slick and felt perverted and slick. Fantastic make up range: Once you go Decay you don't go back!

I'll give it a try.
Not Clinique. L'Oreal is the most useless cosmetic company,churning out pricey,useless stuff. Ashwarya Rai and other Faces of L'Oreal don't put the gunk on their faces I bet.
Clinique has a few good products. I have THIS in my bag right now:

CLINIQUE ALMOST LIPSTICK
4 STARS

I bought it in Black Honey. It's like crosssing lip gloss with lipstick, with understated shine, so it's just right. It goes with almost everything and looks good on just about everyone. Since I like things simple and don't take more than 8 mins to apply make up, this works wonderfully for my lazy ass.

A scrub using aspirin and honey. Tres weird. Does it work better than regular scrubs?
Might look for other home made beauty remedies and post here.

Never heard of such a thing before.She's mad. But then it's the US; psycho heaven.

FL Gators:
Have you tried Nivea products? Your view?

No I haven't. Do you recommend any? Something to keep up my skin tone and add luminosity. Jergens has a smell? There are many many many Jergens products, some are scented and some not. I've only used the Skin Smoothing lotion and the Vitamin C lotion and they were okay.

Yjay, a small tube? By the time you apply it all over three times the thing is finished.

Abi o. But why reject the apology?Someone with PR finesse would never have done that. The whole thing is just a charade from SONY, but we're geting the apology at least. It's only in Nigeria that someone who doesn't have a background in health or aviation would handed the health and aviation ministry. What's Dora's business with Information and rebranding? The woman is out of her depth and using agidi to do the thing. She's treating a global company like a recalcitrant child. You didn't tender the apology well; go and rewrite it.Ah-han.

Spiked, I saw a thread devoted to your hubby Zac Effron in the celeb section. Go dia kiakia and pay homage.

@yjay,
I'm going to give the Soy and Vit C one a try jare. Neutrogena rarely disappoints. But everything I put on my face goes all over my skin as well. Skin is skin and it doesn't stop at my neck. I hope there is something tangible in that container. It looks small.

browncocos:
@madmax does olay regenerist even out skin tone?
i hate to spend almost $20 on something that might not work?
i have slight blochiness on my face due to my preg
i hear it moisturises so well is that true?
yea the philosophy hope in a jar is eeeewwww dem no try at all but when u get used to it,its a very god

OMG spill the formula for the aspirin mask already. Olay regenerist is Olay's best product. I can't say about evening skin tone, since I already use stuff for that. But you'll notice a change in your skin after using it a while. Your skin just loves it and drinks it up. Eii-yahh. I know pregnancy causes hormonal imbalance which plays havoc with skin and hair,but my skin never looked as fabulous as when I was pregnant! Every single blemish cleared off, it was blazing with health and glowing like a beacon.And all I was using was Johnson's baby lotion and sunscreens. Meladerm will clear that blotchiness right off, or the glycolic acid peels. There has to be other products that work as well or better than Meladerm, it's too pricey and so tiny ehn. 

The mother's name is Linda and she can be reached on 07031370650. Perhaps she may be persuaded to open an account, send it,so it may be posted here like aysometin suggests. If she trusts the uncle then by all means let's use his account. You can call or SMS either she or the uncle from whichever country you're in, and do some fact-finding yourselves. It's all true, it's all real.

I called one of the numbers and spoke with a Dominic, who says he's the uncle. Full name Dominic M Chilemo. I insisted on an account owned by the family and he promised to send that. He did, and it turned out to be the same ones in this story, owned by him. he's a brother to the boy's father and his surname's different? It might mean nothing but I'd rather donations go the family DIRECT. I'm going to call again later and ask to speak to the mother, collect the mother's phone number. Others here can do that too and give us her number. That would be real progress. If we can't contact the mother at the end of the day then maybe we should consider donating to the Uncle's account. The boy's the ONLY important consideration here.

@browncocos.
Olay regenerates and keeps skin young. I don't wait for problems to show up first; with skin, prevention really is better than cure. I just LOVE Philosophy products, and use Hope in a Jar for a night cream. Didn't the smell make you gag the first time you opened it? I tried Elizabeth Arden products but they did nothing for me. Clinique is the most useless and overated cosmetic company.But mebbe I chose their 'bad' products, since you like them so.

@tpia
These brands churn out so many products that choosing the one that will actually work for you is often a matter of luck. Neutrogena's sunscreens and winter creams are the absolute BEST.

@FL
Jergens made me realise quality has nothing to do with a price tag when it comes  to cosmetics.I used Jergens Skin Smoothing lotion. Not only was my skin smoother, my sister in law stole it and it treated her dull, patchy skin. It cost all of $6.But these cosmetics companies make five dozen products; how is one to know the magic ONE that will work? Luck mostly.

@yjay
Olay Regen and the Visibly Even have diff ingredients. I don't think you can subsitute them. Why would Neutrogena pull a great product?I haven't even tried it.Mebbe I'll console myself with the Soy and Vit C product.

I see Karma's rubbed off on you.

@soki2ng
Mebbe they thought you were going to make bootleg copies and start distributing.

He provided contact phone numbers. He can be contacted and asked whose account number that is. The mother can be advised to open an account and forward the information. The monies can be paid directly into the mother's account.No one but the mother needs to know about it. NLders near their location can furnish progress reports, or provide guidance to the mother and steer them clear of organisations, if they really exist, that feed off human anguish. Please don't let us just talk and do nothing for this boy at the end of the day.

Why isn't Visibly Even on amazon like every other normal cream na?Not even on the Neutrogena website? I've got my eye on it to squeeze between Philosophy and Olay Regenerist.
Spikie yours is the first negative words I've heard about Neutrogena products. Only the sun and heat darkens the skin,as you very well know. Along with Jergens, they consistently give value for money and don't do the monkey business other cosmetic companies engage in.They have dozens of products for different skin types; I hope you didn't choose something unsuitable for your skin.

Tpia what does oatmeal and dudu osun do na?I tried a Dove Richly Nourishing Body Beauty Moisturiser and it moisturised my skin WONDERFULLY.But no space to squeeze it in.

spikedcylinder:
the cast of Burn After Reading is cool. I like to watch anything with Tilda Swinton in it and I liked the general theme of the movie - much ado about nothing. Great!

You never jam. Awon aye followed Emily Rose to the last letter T. It was scary o, haba. 3.00am every morning with minions of Lucifer on the prowl and you were not scared?
I think the actress that played that part did a good job though, I think she was also in Quarantine? Plus, the lovely Shoreh Agdashloo was in it as well.

Haba. I even watched that movie at night, expecting to have the socks scared off me.The minions of Lucifer? It was just courtroom drama with a few not-so-scary scenes where the demons were displaying their skils. It wasn't scary. And someone was saying THIS is scarier than THE EXORCIST? Not in the same scare league by a looooong shot. Real horror is The House on the Left (original Wes Craven uncut edition), The Thing,The Omen and The Exorcist.
The girl plays Dexter's sister in DEXTER na.

Well I'd heard so much about the horror. It isn't horror; more of a courtroom drama. Doubt those particular demons would inhabit one single person;a-han, who she offend na?I heard there were no visual effects in the girl's contortions; she made those faces and twisted her body like that for real!

Just finished The Exorcism of Emily Rose.Horror. It's just an interesting drama, Not bad at all. Hope it isn't really a true story.
