mamas please i want to ask a question o! sorry for derailing the thread abg.
Is networking business profitable? a colleague of mine is on my neck to register for meridian life support foundation which is #4,000. she said as i bring people my money will be increasing coz each person i bring, i will be awarded #800
hmm another one just came and said her own foundation offers #1,200 for each person you bring after the person must have registers with #7000. so she want me to register under her. That her friend is into it and she has 2 cars.
I'm not ready to throw my money into the ocean o! I'm skeptical. Do people really make money from it as they claim?

Some people swear by it but i'm not a fan of it. Its easy to get addicted to it and the profit you make might not compensate for the energy you will invest in it.

My personal take!

mum2bsoon:

babythug:
Was telling a friend of mine yesterday that Nigerian recipes just can't have measurements sha! we are a peculiar lot walahi!

Siste..... is little garri one spoon, cup or plate?? the pamoyel nko? or we should just use our gumption(as my mama go talk) to figure it out?

Hahahahahaha. My eye is my measurement cup

The garri and the oil depends on how large the soup

Whyterose:

My problem is,I have zero appetite 4food and I'm losing weight drastically. Pls mamas help me with suggestions as I sometimes take my drugs on an empty stomach. My only craving is amala n ewedu but don't knw where 2buy from. Pls mamas staying at one man village in nasarawa afta abj Shd Pls help me out on amala joint. Secondly I can't eat any food I prepare, I Jst cook 4 Dh only. Funny thing is I get so hungry n weak bt av no interest in food. I'm team Feb.

Cc all sabi mamas

Lol. Don't mind me jare.

@your food issue, buy food if you can't stand the food you prepare. Or get dh to make your meals for you.

As for me, i was buying any food i crave for. That is what wasted our money sha. You can also get cereals if you can stomach them. They dont have any strong smell.

Dont take drugs on an empty stomach dear.

nifeseun:

Hahahaha @2kg. Bras are uncomfortable sha but necessary

My God!!! Thank God for your life and the life of your babies o.
That's why its good to always check our babies every minute.

It can only be God!

goldenruby:
I don't know if it's the home or the away version of this money you people want. Take this 1k and give me owoh soup recipe please, make my fufu no waste
Cc: tyconcepts mitchyy

Owo soup with fufu?? Lord have mercy. Please don't ruin our traditional meal o.

Anyway, here is the recipe for making Owo soup:

- Boil and season your meat with just salt and seasoning cube.
- If you're using fish, wash with hot water, rinse out and pour in the pot you want to use in cooking. Add water and steam for 5mins with very little salt.
- Mix little yellow garri with water and set aside. You'll need it soon.
- Once the meat or fish is sufficiently cooked, add your palm oil and grounded crayfish. Using too much crayfish can darken the soup. So use moderately.
- There's a particular thick palm oil we use specially for owo soup. If you don't have it, use any thick palm oil you have.
- Allow to boil together for about 15mins
- Add the garri you soaked and allow to boil for another 15mins. Put them in bit by bit. This is the soup thickener. Make sure the soup is not too thick because it'll still boil some more.
- Reduce the fire a little
- Dissolve potash according to the size of your soup and add to the pot.
- At this stage, you can't walk away from the pot else it will bubble over. Once it begins to bubble, use a big spoon to fetch the foamy part up and drop it back to the pot. This technique will prevent it from bubbling over.
- Add salt to taste
- Leave it to cook and in a few minutes, you will notice that the addition of the potash has caused the prior watery stock to thicken a little. Take it off the heat and let it cool down a little.
- Do not cover when the soup is hot else it will make the oil float and change the texture of the soup
- Serve with starch, eba, green plantain or boiled yam


I nor sabi type recipe o. So manage am. It looks complicated with my many explanations but its one of the easiest soups to prepare.

olamitie:
Thanks for the welcome.... wana ask does staying away from sex the first three months really make a differences

It depends on your situation. I was bleeding in my first month so i was asked to stay away from sex until i'm 16weeks gone to avoid having a miscarriage.

cheeketo:
I have been peeping mode since, ms no let me see road, just felt better this week, but normal me is not an active participant on social media generally, i prefer to look pix and read comments of others, but i will try to make a difference here, am a ftm, 13 week + 4 days according to lmp although scan said 12 weeks + 4 days, team january, will pay my dues ASAP. @mitchy, which cong. do you associate with?

Na so I see am ooo.
I do express n give him bt I feel we can bond beta skin to skin.

You pump half of what he needs. After taking that, you transfer him to your breast. That way he will be satisfied and you won't miss out on bonding.

Iyabetajos:

and all mamas

So sorry dear teamie. Mamas have explained already. Pls talk to your doc. Hope your PCV value is okay? Let us know how far. Pele

@jazzyjazz, if you have enough cash, just hold like 30k to get the basics like fortius said.
As for me, i didnt bother buying anything tagged maternity, cus they are usually more expensive here. What i did was to get black leggings, and free tops that are some sizes bigger than my normal size.
Look for regular tops and gowns that the band is close to your bust. They'll fit your bump nicely.
Don't buy too much for now, because your bump might get bigger than you expect and then they won't fit anymore.
Remember to get maternity bras too, those ones without underwire. You can also get one or two sport bras for use at night. Sleeping and moving about without bra in pregnancy all the time can contribute to fall of Olympus.
I hope this helps.

Why dont you express it and give him in a bottle? They take in milk faster that way.

For mamas that have given birth and the ones that have packed their bags already, did anyone use a big box? I feel it's better to just put our things in one good sized box than small bags?

Hehehehehehe. Deyve asked me what i'm still doing in the toilet. I say na hard poo so its taking time to come out sleep.

I cant hear Hansel's voice again sef. Its like he has slept off

tyconcepts:
Na you get the body witchyy or sorri mitchyy if you can sustain Hansel darling on EBF, add formulae and everybody will be happy at last. BF alone obviously doesn't satisfy him properly. I almost did same with Mofe but mehnnnnn I couldn't just satisfy him till formulae came in


Goldenruby.....Just pay me $1000 and I would reveal the hidden recipes of Owoh soup to you. Witchyy/Mitchyy own no sweet reach my own.

Na to hide give am formula when everyone leaves the house. Dem nor go fit kill me on top EBF

Goldenruby, free authentic recipe and $1000 caricature recipe, which one you prefer? Hehehehehe!

Florena:
Good morning mamas!
How are you fairing?
We are 24weeks and 4 days today, did scan yesterday and it's still giving me same edd, 4th of Nov, though my doctor gave me 6th. Baby is weighing 719grams and placenta is posterior middle. And yes we are team blue!
In summary, we are doing fine except for thick catarrh, mettalic taste in mouth, heaviness at lower abdomen, body pain as a result of sleeping too much on my side. How i miss sleeping on my chest, shey if I drill a hole the size of my bump on our mattress dh will not send me packing?
#teamNovember let's show them our bump today.I will be back with mine.

No need to drill hole. Here you go...

It is official,motherhood is draining!
Oh,i cant deal. What??
I salute all mothers here,you guys are really trying,may God reward us abundantly.

But wait! Na like this man pikin go take born 4kids?dh said 5 but i know he is seriously kidding. Left for me oo,3kids is just ok for me.

Melly25,gaily04,mitchyy,enkaydewdrop,goldenruby,ginababy and all vigilante mamas,una dey see wetin i dey see abi there is a shortform/easy method? How i wish baby favour is grown now,i would ve taken him to his grandparents first thing tomorrow morning. I don tire.

Well,all i can say is IT IS WELL!

Your own is even good. What of me working, together with vigilante? I'm at my crash point.
I'm currently typing this from inside the toilet. I hid there because mil wants me to come and breast feed Hansel again after he just finished sucking 30mins ago. Make we supplement with formula, she nor gree.
So i go dey this toilet for one hour until she will be forced to pet Hansel back to sleep.

In other news, where is August cappo BritneyStacy? Mum Zaynie has been MIA all day too.

So wa okay?
