Another one.

We can't just assume every assault accusation by a lady is a lie. Its best to hear from both parties before we start dishing out insults.

I agree people need to learn to respect uber/taxify drivers. Not all of them are paupers. Even a pauper should also be respected.
Some of the drivers also lack courtesy. I almost reported one this week who was almost accusing me or giving him wrong direction. He wasted 30mins of my time arguing with me and shouting that my address is not correct until he realized he didn't look properly. He later apologized profusely. I knew he will later apologize after realizing his mistake so I was calm all through.
It takes patience to deal with situations with strangers. Everything doesn't have to lead to a quarrel or a fight or an abuse.

Anyone has a neatly used 32inch LED TV in Lagos? A friend on the mainland needs one

tonia2k4:
Location is Lagos

Where in Lagos? Please always state precise location so the buyer can tell if its close to him/her or not

Late post but thanks for the data over the weekend. I decided to take the risk and trust you. And you delivered

Alvin007:
Lovely decision here. POD is best. That was how one dude here on nairaland swerved me of 6k for a used car woofer. I took the risk of payment before delivery coz I felt 6k was meager. But the pain I felt after being cheated(scammed) was worth millions...

That was very risky. Some popular sellers on NL can still scam you, how much more someone you barely know.

Buying from people around my location is my best option, to avoid issues from both end.

okirewaju:
Mrs Just Very Ok posted items for sale and I contacted her for the baby rocker.


Her initial price was 7k and we bargained to a lower amount. She agreed she was going to send it through a dispatch guy to my contact in Lagos and I pay on delivery. I had already sent the money to my contact only for her to tell me his morning to send the money to her account before she delivers.


I mean who does that in this day and time. I'm even taking a risk by paying for what I have not seen physically.

That's my experience with her.



Please if you have and rocker and bouncer for sale up to 18kg quote me.


Thanks

Online shopping is a two way thing. You could make payment and the seller starts acting up or disappears with your money. On the other hand, the seller can accept pay on delivery option, but when you get the item, you can reject it and decide not to buy again, then the seller ends up losing the money he/she used in transporting it.

A lot of sellers no longer accept pay on delivery option. That doesn't make them a scammer. The best bet is to buy items from locations close to you so you can go see the item for yourself. If you are satisfied with the condition, you pay and take it home. But if the seller is a trusted person you know, then you can decide to risk it and pay before delivery.

If a seller's payment option is not okay for you, move on to another seller. As for me, i always follow my instinct when it comes to online shopping. If I'm not comfortable with a transaction, I'll just ignore and not bother buying.

comtem2011:
August mamas, how una dey? hope we are all fine? @talltosyne, Mitchy, sayoddy.

I"m doing fine sis. Tiredness just won't let me go beyond peeping. Plus baby is playing hide and seek with me. He/she doesn't want me to know gender so I can start shopping. I don't fancy buying unisex stuff

How is our bun doing? Hope you are getting enough rest and MS isn't dealing with you?

Congrats to all those who have offloaded. To the waddling mamas, Jehovah shall make it easy for you all

TOH

Still available?

Ubiero:
How can baby wardrobe be 20k? This is supposed to be clearance sales.

This particular one is sold for 10/12k now. But all the same, used one still cant be 20k. I'm sure its a typo. This thread is not MMM for people to double their money. Let him/her come online and clarify the price.

...

comtem2011:
thanks sis, I actually returned last year, but baby said he/she is not ready to come then. But now, Baba God don release am to come and have PR with me o.

and now, we are teamie.

Anugod, do you remember me from November team 2017?

Awwwww! Didn't know

We are all crossing the finish line together. No more sad stories on this thread anymore. Good news and birth announcements all the way!

Welcome back once more sis!

mamatwiny:
@teamie,
My name now is ara gbagbuo boys.
I am naturally busty, but this Preggy made it more brestful .
I can now contest for Miss breast Nigeria.

As long as hubby loves it, carry go jare. Lol

comtem2011:
Officially reporting for Team August.

cappo kindly add me to the list.

Congrats to our new mamas in town. May God bring more joy to our families.

Whoop whoop!!! Congrats sis. Welcome to my team. The old members are returning with style

Dexterush is the real deal. Ordered for one of her quad bikes for my son and got it delivered that same day. She even went the extra mile to make sure its exactly what I would love.
Customer service and product on point!!!

temmy2103:
Gint is very good

I completely agree. Had mine for almost 2years now and its superb

Ahnie my fellow isoko mama. Sorry I forgot to congratulate you yesterday. Welcome back to your third journey.
How we gon celebrate it? Wish you a smooth and stress-free 9months journey

Fiducia:
Thank you sooooooo much
God bless you all, will try and submit a short BS on her behalf

Can't wait to read her BS and see how it went
I hope she is resting well though?

PatKing:
God bless you my Sister!!!
I am more than happy to be hated by whoever is offended by my post.

I congratulate the Mama Zaynie oh.
Once more, congratulations to Ahnie, Zaynie, and Suzy for announcing on April Fools day.

Ahnie, may the healing power in the resurrection perfect all that concerns your Hubby in Jesus name.
We await your testimony.

Seriously??

And since when is making a birth announcement on April 1st a problem?
People are pregnant and instead of us to be happy for them, we are finding a problem with the day they announced it. I bet you wouldn't find it funny if they tag your pregnancy a joke, would you? Do you have an idea if they too have been trying to conceive?
Nobody is hating on you but you were simply corrected that your post was highly unnecessary. Don't know why this is such a big deal to accept and you are blowing it out of proportion. Gosh!
Let's not spoil the love in this group pls

Liftedhands:
@patking I think it will be fair and sensible to take down that post you left up there! Zaynie has confirmed it not a joke hasn't she? Moreover you were too quick to assume and conclude she was fooling around.

Even if she were why take everything so serious? TTC doesn't mean one should loose their sense of humour or that those around them shouldn't joke about babies and pregnancy.

If you know zaynie very well you will realise she is not an insensitive person, I'm particularly hurt that you had to call her out on such a trivial issue whilst being cheered by your like-minders.


I have and still ttcing but you don't see me carrying my challenges about or being forlorn over it.

Please in the spirit of sisterhood, the love shared here and zaynies contribution to this thread take down that sanctimonious comment you left up there.

Zaynie is indeed in a good mood today cos on a normal day I know she won't let you off that easily.


To zee my padi and queen of reverse I congratulate you once more and wish you a smooth and easy peasy journey! I can't wait to behold my godchild

Walk into any bar and take one bottle of chilled wine. Tell them mitchyy has paid!

Fiducia:
Birth alert!!!

Thank you soooo much to all mamas
Baby Jay came at exactly 12pm today weighing 3.2kg

Cheeeeeeeeeiiiiiii labour no be here ooo, chai, we cried together, we groaned together, we pushed together and it ended in praise!!!

@mummy Zaynie
@mummy mitchyy
@mummy liftedhands
@ all mamas
God bless you all richly

Awwwww. Such a cutie! Congrats to your sis. And welldone for being a very strong support system for her.

zaynie:
What if it isn't a joke?

Get your facts right before you accuse someone or perhaps wait till the person reveals its actually a prank.
So because I chose today to announce you assume its a prank.

Okay let me complete the prank, my EDD is Oct 25th same as Muna's (my present last born) EDD and actual birth day.
Yup, thunder does strike the same place twice.

Yayyyyyyyy! Congratulations VVIP mama. Thank God we are pregnant at the same period o. At least you'll be very active here. Hehehehe!

NB: Not everything done in April 1st is a joke!

Fiducia:
To all the mamas that responded, God bless you all richly.

Update
We are at the hospital now
The process is about to begin
We need your prayers mamas

Mummy liftedhands
Mummy Sansa143
Mummy Zaynie
Mummy Jazzyjazz

@ all mamas

Don't worry. She will be fine and it'll end up well. Just be her support and follow up on everything the doctors and midwives are administering. Anything you are confused about, just quickly pop the question here.
Wish her safe delivery!

ebenholer:
And u think it is outrightly right for a single person to hold million people into ransom. U need to be here in Lagos and see how people trek miles to get to their destination. This is a tyranny.

I'm referring to a brand like First Bank finding humor in the issue. I never said I'm in support of or against what happened today.

And yes, I live in Lagos and was affected.

3rdeye1:
the same guy is managing their handle now.

Oh really? Didn't know. Thought he left

Their social media manager needs some coaching from that guy who handled the EFCC twitter page.

Humor gone wrong..

talltosyne:

To d FTM, u can start shopping now, avoid last minute shopping as it may be stressful.

More money to us all.

Thanks for checking on us cappo.

EDD is August 2nd. Haven't checked gender yet. Hope to do so this week though.

We will soon start shopping o. Mans got lots to do for now.

Lol @mortuary standard

I'm doing clearance sales for the popcorn and coke in my kitchen... For anyone who is here to watch this drama!


This fight and drama is highly unnecessary by the way. We all have to be careful before tagging someone a scammer.
There is also nothing wrong in pointing out a potential scam. A lot of people on NL post photos of products they have sold long ago, deceiving innocent buyers. Once bitten, twice shy. Just employ maturity when addressing issues here.

Fiducia:
Mamas that responded, God bless you all
Biko any suggestion on how to bring on labour?
Abeg o before she born for exam hall
Also any suggestions on how to increase pcv?


Good morning mamas

To increase PCV...

Garden egg leaves. Squeeze the juice from the raw leaves and mixed with malt and drink.

Ugu leave juice is also good but taken in moderation. I prefer to take it without milk cus it slows down the absorption of iron.
I currently steam vegetables and add to my meals everyday because I had low pcv due to my severe morning sickness.
I slice ugu, eforiro leaf, waterleaf, scent leaf, then add crayfish powder, dryfish to sweeten it a bit, then steam together for just five-ten minutes. I either eat it like that or add to almost all my meals for the day.

First, have you confirmed your cousin's pcv is low? Second, have you timed her contractions to be sure its Braxton Hicks and not labour since she is 40weeks already? Make she nor go born for house o.

whyworryPH:
Good evening wonderful mamas in the house.

I'm new here and just got my BFP. 4realwoman led me by hand and brought me over.

I was pregnant last year and lost it at 6 months.

My marriage will be 2 by April. I need all the advice I can get from experienced mothers here.
I am taking pregnacare original and 5mg folic acid. Is there any other thing I should be doing?

Is it too early to register for antenatal? Please do not pass me by. Thanks

Congratulations! This time, this baby shall stay and you will deliver safely.
I don't know the reason behind your previous loss, so it'll be best to register with a hospital for antenatal and let your gynae monitor the pregnancy as it progresses. I don't think you should wait till 12weeks like everyone else. You don't necessarily have to start attending antenatal classes yet but register and let your doctor follow you up from Day one. Its what my doc does.
