Islandlady: I have always wanted to write on this particular article about the lack of enough gap or spacing of children by most Nigerian parents!
Few months back I was driving along that Abuja-suleja road and decided to stop by to buy some roasted plantain (boli) from a woman by the roadside! But I couldn't help notice her two baby boys crying profusely, she was holding onto one while the other was on the floor, initially I thought they were twins but after looking well, I noticed that the boy on the floor was a bit older! So I offered to help her console the older child because she was obviously frustrated and so that she can be faster with my plantain so I can hit the road back!
I carried the boy to console him and I was surprised by the way the boy clinged to me and immediately stopped crying, he was still a baby who needs his mother's attention and cuddling but all was cut short becos he now has a baby brother! I asked the women for their ages and she said the older was 2years old and his brother was 1year old! I was not really suprised but angry at the poor spacing between children by most of our Nigerian parents!
I mean if she has given them atleast a 3 to 4years age gap, the older brother will be old enough to console and play with his younger brother, while she will be able do her work without getting fraustrated and depriving the older baby of the care, attention and also stopping his breastfeeding at that early stage! This lack of child spacing harbits is very common among our parents!
I just want to urge our upcoming parents, new couples and singles hoping to get married someday and give birth to please practice a good child spacing of atleast 2-4years age gap, it has a lot of benefits and also give you time to take care of the child properly and also allowing the mothers body rest and become stronger in preparation for another child Thanks for reading!

in some places , that woman will be carrying another pregnancy.
But I remember muslim brothers that died are buried by muslim community.
Some years back I met one nigerian man at tallinn mosque, he said he came from london to bury his sudanese friend that died in tallinn. He knew the guy in sudan, when he was sick he constantly phoned him to bury him in islamic way.
Mode4: I have been thinking why the few peeps I know including some of my distant uncles who spent most of their years abroad came back to Nigeria to live when they became old. Is there something awkward about growing old overseas?
Even my sister in the US, has been telling me that once she gets old, she will come back to Nigeria to spend the remainder of her life. Folks abroad, what's really going on? Is there a harsh reality for the aged over there?
NwaIdeato: Labor party collapsed its structure for APC in Ekiti, so there was no groundwork to work with in the first place, was there even a gubernatorial LP candidate in the election?
the party denied that sir, that was done by Zenith Labour party
chimhigher: Tinubu's defeat will come few hours into election day. Ekiti total number of voters yesterday wasn't even up to 400k, same as Ogun, Ondo and the likes will be on that day. He will lose woefully, the only people I dey pity na lagosians. He will use the annoyance from the loss to finish them kpatakpata
the real battle is in the north, APC will take south west, PDP will take south east
NwaIdeato: LP only became relevant 3 weeks ago (thanks to Peter Obi's influence) and anybody with half a brain would know they dont have a structure yet until the general election starts...how would you expect a party that just barely made national headlines to produce massive numbers in Ekiti over more established and popular parties like APC, PDP and the rest? Some of you reason like toddlers sha, so illogical.
calm down , at least 3 other unknown parties there scored over 1,000 votes. Labor party itself is not doing anything to popularise the party
majole: Kwankwaso doesn't need Shekarau to win in Kano. He only needs Shekarau to help increase his margin of victory and to make sure APC doesn't win a single seat in Kano. He wants to give a knockout punch to Ganduje. He also needs Shekarau to help keep hold of Kano state while Kwankwaso goes campaigning for votes all over the country
Annie001: What structure does SDP have in Ekiti to have gotten all those vote so far? People voted for Segun Oni despite how weak the structure is It's not about party anymore it's about the candidate Dyg?? So using Ekiti state lp as yardstick is quite dumb
segun Oni has established structures in ekiti, it will be a different game if segun Oni were to contest for presidency with SDP.
zadokchidi: Oga your son is a grown up guy...buy Him a foam in the night he should bring the foam to the palour and sleep..while his cloth is your room..make him to understand that one day he may be in your suatation ...to avoid story that touch the Hart...I men abomination..
I got a 2bedroom flat because the place is close to me and my wife place of work.we couldn't get a 3bedroom around the area cos that was the one we saw at the time and it was not costly.
But here is the problem I have a 19yrs old boy waiting for admission and a 16yrs old girl in ss3 but I don't know how to allocate the 2 bedroom maybe my wife and I should take one and leave the other room for my son and daughter but my girl is already a lady and she doesn't want to share a room with her brother,,am also thinking my wife should share one room with our daughter while I share the remaining room with my son but what if me and my wife need each other.
Where we relocated from we had 3 bedrooms and everyone had his room but because that was the only apartment near and less costly we had to take it.
PoliteActivist: No need to invoke US to prove they are both EXTREMELY CORRUPT. There is more than enough proof right here. See below. MPO, on the other hand, is VERY HONEST - never mind all the smokescreen by agenda people. Much of it is by people who vehemently hate him till date because he woudn't let them loot Anambra's money. It is hard to believe the man is a Nigerian. He's simply uninterested in money or status. Nigeria will be very lucky indeed if he wins.
Femi8586: Let him try it. Na small thing person dey take fuckup in a bid to please one side of people and displease the other.
Let me ask you, would Muslims accept christian-christian ticket especially those in the north? Be honest o. I'm sure your answer would be a big NO. But you think Christians should accept Muslim Muslim ticket?
No sane Christian in the north, southwest, south south, south east or wherever in Nigeria would vote for such combo.
Ginaz: Good evening house. My phone got stolen last year November. The thief cut my window net and stole my phone along with the charger through the window. I woke up around 4.a.m searching for my phone with no success till I looked at the window and saw the big hole staring at me. I was so shocked is an understatement.
I have replaced my phone but right now I wake up in the night and start looking for my phone even if I must have safely keep it.
I wake up and first thing I search for, is my phone. I open eyes, first thing I want to see, is my phone.
How do I stop this biko? Who have experienced this? Is it panic attack or what?
Femi8586: Christians are not aggressive and threatening like Muslims, especially those in the north. That's why some people easily belittle them, dare them, and under rate them.
The aggressive nature of northern Muslims is why Tinubu is scared. He might have the support of Christian southerners and northerners before, but if he dare try Muslim Muslim ticket, he'll lose almost everything if not all.
Stop this threat Femi, he won't lose with Muslim-muslim ticket. No Christian leader in the south will advise against voting him. His wife is a Christian and has some level of influence in the church also. The first lady is always more powerful than a VP. The Church can influence his government through his wife.
Favorolasupo: Yes maybe u are right..but they care about tribe..we have had enough of northern rule..but its still better for tinubu to pick his running mate from the north..i think regardless of the religion
they don't care about tribe too. Those who care are in the minority. Don't also forget that tinubu is first and foremost a southerner before his religion is factored
