Good day Mamas,I'm a first time mom looking forward to sharing and learning experiences.
My 11 day old baby cries and strains before he's able to pee. Have taken him to the paediatrician where his blood and urine samples have been taken. We're waiting for the result. Anyone with a similar experience please?

My LO(BBB) came out at about 5:20pm yesterday. He was shouting abi crying even before he was fully out. Started having pressure like discomfort(not pain since on Sunday night whenever I pee, woke up Monday afternoon to a slight discharge lightly tainted with blood. I was 40 wks 1 day as at Monday. So called my doctor and he said labour is about to start, and that I should wait for pains either in the lower back or tummy before proceeding to hospital. By 12 midnight, na so labour start, I was doing match past(left, right, left, right). was having irregular contractions throughout the night, couldn't sit, lie or stand in one place. Had to go for a warm shower at a point for almost an hour. And all this while I decide not to wake DH up. He woke up twice and asked what's wrong and I said nothing. Decided that since he usually leaves for work at 7, I'll wake him up at 5 and he'll first drop me at the hospital and then he can proceed to work.
Reached the hospital and met the doctor on call, checked and said I was 3cm dilated and I should be admitted for further observation, to be rechecked after 4 hours. Meanwhile my gyne comes at 4. At 11, I was rechecked and the doctor said I was 6-7cm dilated and it's progressing, that hopefully by 2 I should be done with the delivery process. Meanwhile I was smiling and lying down all through out that the doctors and nurses thought I wasn't in labour. One doctor suggested elective CS and I turned down the offer which I kind of regretted later but happy now that I rejected that offer. By 2, she rechecked me and said I'm 8-9cm dilated and she will help rupture the membrane so that labour progresses fast and in 30 minutes, I should be done having my baby and then she signed out. My gyne came at 3 because of me thinking that I've already delivered only to find me smiling and chatting. He checked and said that they've deceived me, that I'm just around 5-6cm and that he's got to augment the labor process with drip. I pleaded with him not to because of all the stories I've heard but he's not just a good doctor but also a good counsellor, so he was able to win me over and that he must deliver that baby before he goes at 6 and that was how I knew what real labour was because of 3 drips. Before the end of the 3rd drip, he(LO) was out. DH was by my side all through save for when I was in the labour room. All thanks to Allah.

try cloves. Chew around the area. You can also soak the cloves in water and be rinsing your mouth with it. Google for more info.

Sickle cell kills
But only if God Wills
Some say it has no cure
But none of them is sure
There's no sickness on earth
That lacks a cure except death
Oops, less I forget there's old age too
But treat that by being a young @ heart boo

There is medicine for sickle cell in Kano by a Trado-
medical doctor. His name is Khamis Kibiya and his place
Sangarib Trado-medical Center is located along Zaria
Road opposite Gidan Glass, Gyadi-gyadi Quarters. His
numbers are 08033499827 and 08028349463. Please
call him and make arrangements to visit him in Kano.
This is for all Sickle Cell patients world wide. He has
cured my 2 children of the sickness. One a boy, now in
JSS 3 has not had a crisis in the last 11 years. For
the first 2 years of his life, it was unimaginable pains
for him and for us. His sister is just about 2 years
now and since we discovered she was SS too, we took
her to him and as Allaah (God) Wills, it has been close
to 8 months now without her showing any more signs
of the sickness. Please if you care for yourself or
your loved ones suffering from the traumatic
disease, take the chance and verify for yourself. You
never know this might be the end of that unending
hospital visitations.




Someone asked if he has cures for other ailments?
That I can not outrightly vouch for. But, as far as
the dreaded sickle cell anaemia is concerned, may
Allaah SWT bear me Witness. I decided to inform
because people are dieing due to the disease as Allaah
Willed in the belief that it has no cure, but indeed
there's a cure for it. My two kids are living proofs.
So, if you know or anybody knows of someone who is
a sickler patient, they should please and please
contact him.
It is taking away so many more due to ignorance.
Nasir El-Rufai just announced the death of a
daughter from their family yesterday on facebook. I
saw the post today and it made me decide to let the
world know that THERE'S A CURE FOR SICKLE
CELL ANEMIA IN KANO, NIGERIA!

We surely need to inform the world about this and we
will. But, this is for those who have already
committed the "mistake" of marrying sickle cell
carriers and so likely to have sickler offsprings. Just
to let them know that all hope is not lost.

2012 news..... The question is : Will IBB still say the same thing now?

okirewaju:
How do you peopl drink this ish


Its not smooth in the tongue

It can be very smooth pending on how you cook it. But Cereals are not meant to be smooth as pap or custard if that's the type of smoothness you're talking about.

soak it for like 2 mins in water and then slowly bring to a boil on low heat while you keep stirring until you get the consistency you want(some like it thick enough while some like it watery). Then add milk(either powdered, evaporated, fresh or any one of your choice) and sugar. For richness or preference, you can top it with any fruit of your choice especially bananas, kiwi, berries etc. Some substitute sugar for honey.

Second option is to use the milk instead of water when cooking it.

Note: Taste as you stir it for the texture you like. Some like it a bit chewy while some like it very soft.

And there are many other recipes with oats that you can find on the internet.

Have you tried 'Imodium'? It comes in a cream/white and green pack. It's a tablet.

The law of diminishing return will apply to it eventually, that's what I'm hoping for. I'm no economist by the way. And this one we're all screaming dollar, what do we genuinely need(not want) it for? The common man on the street doesn't even know what it is.

Educative thread.
I'm also due in March. It's my first pregnancy and I thank God it's been a wonderful experience all this while with not even the slightest headache, morning sickness or any of the things usually associated with pregnancy. If not for the baby kicking, I'm as good as not pregnant.
Congrats to all those who have successfully put to bed and sorry about the loss of some members. Wishing all of us safest delivery and a quick recovery to all those who've got post natal issues.
Cheers.

There are only two muslim holidays that get public holidays. Mohammed's birthday is never one of them.

So stop your pathetic lying

What would you say about this;
https://www.naij.com/56218.html

http://www.informationng.com/2014/01/eid-el-maulud-fg-declares-tuesday-public-holiday.html


http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/01/eid-el-maulud-fg-declares-jan-24-as-public-holiday/

I can understand if you say you don't know that Maulud is celebrated as Prophet Muhammad's birthday but to claim that FG has never declared such a holiday is mischievious.

This is as far back as 2007:
http://allafrica.com/stories/200703300583.html

Just save yourself the mischief and do a simple google search.

All those claiming not to know that about the public holiday declared by FG on the occasion of Maulud, are you for real? Have you been living in Nigeria or is it just the harmful hatred that has deeply eaten into your hearts that you fail to know that Nigeria has been celebrating this day by declaring a public holiday year in year out? It's a pity....

Great but nothing on earth will make me be a passenger on that plane if the situation present itself.

Hello ladies in the house,
Please I'm looking for reviews and opinions on this hospital for those who have gone through child delivery in this hospital or if you know someone who has.
Thanks as I anticipate your responses.

Nigerian Media is becoming something else..... From both the producers and consumers.

I'm a woman and wouldn't vote for a woman nor asked to be voted for.

old and recycled letter. Being seeing this for years now.

I like this. What do we need the dollar for. If it's for importation, it's time to look inward.
The ordinary man on the street doesn't even know what dollar is. It is just the few that need it that panics when it rises.

This news is incomplete.
Public holiday will be three days to include Maulud holiday, Christmas and boxing day holidays.

It is incomplete because the news ought to have stated who made the statement on behalf of the FG, which typically is the office of the ministry of Interior but the news just told us what we already know not even knowing that there's going to be Maulud holiday on Wednesday or Thursday preceding the Friday of Christmas.

If you are interested to know more about the Shitte
Muslim sect, you need to read this article written by
Dr Abdussamad Umar Jibia and it was addressed to
President Buhari when he was the President-elect.

One thing I have learned this night is that we have
two Major Muslims sects in Nigeria. Sunnis and Shitte.
We have the smaller sects but these two dominate the
Muslim population in the land
So read and learn for yourself about the Shitte sect
who are currently trending in the news:

Hear the Doctor as he speaks:

However, my reason for writing you this letter is not
Boko Haram. It is something worse than Boko Haram.
Yes worse. It is a sect more dreadful than Boko
Haram that has established itself in all strata of
Muslim Ummah in Nigeria. They are in the civil service.
They are in business. Their members have deliberately
come close to several unsuspecting politicians of
note. It is Shia.

As a Muslim, you don’t need someone to tell you about
Shia. But for the benefit of those who do not know, I
would say the little they need to know. Shia is about
the oldest sect in Islam. After the death of
Muhammad (peace be upon him) who was both a
messenger of Allah and a political leader, the Islamic
faith continued to grow under the rightly guided
Caliphs. It was during this period that the present day
Syria, Iran, Iraq, Egypt and Palestine came under the
control of Islam.

However, the Jews who were expelled from the city of
Madina by the Holy prophet because of their treachery
and were watching these developments with agony
decided to react by sponsoring some of them to
pronounce Islam in order to have the license to cause
confusion among Muslims. It was these ‘converts’
under the leadership of one Abdullah bn Saba that
succeeded in sponsoring the rebellion against the third
Caliph, Othman. They first articulated his
shortcomings, amplified and disseminated them around
the Caliphate. Thereafter they called for his
resignation; when he refused to resign they killed
him. The Muslim Ummah chose Ali, a cousin of the Holy
Prophet to lead them after Othman, but these very
people, who now called themselves Shiat Ali (the sect
of Ali) frustrated his efforts to track and punish the
killers of Othman. They now made Shia a symbol of
love for Ali and other relations of the prophet and
hatred for the other caliphs and the rest of the
prophet’s companions whom they claimed betrayed the
trust of the prophet.

Shia was embraced by Persians because they saw it as
an opportunity to distort a religion that destroyed
their kingdom and culture. After the Iranian
revolution which was led by Shiite scholars, the
government of Iran set an agenda to spread Shia to
other countries. In Nigeria, this task was to be
carried out by one Ibrahim Yakub Elzakzaky. The man
Elzakzaky devised several strategies to achieve his
mission. First, he banked on the gullibility of some
Muslim youth who could easily be misled by slogans like
‘Islamic revolution’, ‘establishment of Islamic state’,
‘total change’, etc. His group, who initially tagged
themselves as Muslim brothers (meaning, of course,
that other Muslims are not their brothers) organized
lectures and several demonstrations in their first
phase. In those days in the 1980s he told everyone
that he was not a Shiite, his group was not out to
promote Shia and that what they wanted was Islam
and nothing else. The other methods used by
Elzakzaky to introduce Shia to his followers were the
same methods that Shiites have used over their long
history. One of them is women. Shiites legalize
temporary marriage. In Shia it is possible to marry a
woman for two hours. Many people find it difficult to
understand why young men and women who are
supposed to be in school would trek from cities like
Kano, Gusau and Katsina to Zaria, spending nights
along the way in order to listen to Elzakzaky. This is
the secret. It is an open one because the Shiites do
not deny they do it. What they may deny is wife
swapping, which many people accuse them of doing.
There is plenty more on Shiites and their doctrine.

What, however, would be of major concern to your
Government is their notoriety in dealing with
Government and fellow Nigerians. Way back in the
1990s, the Shiites constituted a major threat to the
public in Kaduna state. For a period, any Islamic
preacher who dared to criticize Ibrahim Elzakzaky or
Ayatullahi Khomaini in his preaching was attacked and
beaten in his house in the presence of his wife and
children. Infuriated by their actions, the Government
of Col. Hameed Ali staged a clampdown on them and
most of their leaders were arrested and prosecuted.
This made them to change their strategy for a while.
The main activities of Shiites are demonstrations
which they organize on specific occasions like the
Quds and Ashura days. During these demonstrations,
they block main roads in cities across the North and
intimidate the public including the Police whose
permission they do not seek. Last year, this type of
event led to a clash between the Army and the sect
members leading to the death of several people
including three children of Mallam Ibrahim Elzakzaky.
In addition, these heretics organize an annual
pilgrimage to Zaria for which they trek in large
groups from certain points to go and meet their
leader. In the process of this long trek, they block
major highways and create a lot of havoc for
travelers. This is watched by the security agents and
nothing is done to stop it.

Like the Boko Haram of Muhammadu Yusuf, the Shiites
have no regard for any rule, no matter how harmless
it is. For example, after a series of bombings in Kano
metropolis, the Government of Kano state banned
riding motorcycles after six o clock in the evening and
carrying passengers on same. The public complied and
defaulters were openly arrested and punished. The
only group of people that did not comply were the
Shiites. Even when the implementation of the ban was
at its peak they rode motorcycles in the night on
major roads in Kano sometimes carrying more than
one passenger and none of them would be arrested. A
friend of mine once stopped and asked the Police why
they were not arresting Shiites. The answer was, ‘Ai
su yan kungiya ne’, meaning ‘they are members of a
group’. The Police was obviously afraid of triggering
another crisis, but at the same time giving the
impression that some people are above the law.

The Shiites are well connected. Since most of their
leaders including Mallam Ibrahim Elzakzaky himself
are graduates, it has been easy to fix themselves in
all sectors of the economy. Although they publicly
condemn the Nigerian political system and do not
participate in partisan politics, the group may have
been enjoying the support of certain politicians. For
example, a former civilian governor of one of the
Northern states patronized a Civil Engineering firm
controlled by professionals belonging to this group.
The group activities were allegedly sponsored by
proceeds of the many contracts he awarded to them in
addition to whatever little might come from Iran and
other wealthy members. Ordinarily there is nothing
wrong in that since they are also Nigerians, but the
fact that some of those professionals involved were
dismissed from public service for alleged breach of
peace raised doubts about the action of that
governor.

Mallam Ibrahim Elzakzaky lives in affluence even when
most of his followers live in abject poverty. Added to
these is the large number of guards that accompany
him wherever he is going. These guards who are
mainly unemployed youth also man illegal checkpoints
on roads leading to his house in the Gyallesu quarters
of Zaria. In addition to open display of weapons,
these guards subject people living in the area, their
families and visitors to constant harassments. Even
after registering series of complaints to the police
and Zaria emirate, nothing has been done to come to
the rescue of these innocent Nigerians. Only last
week, there was a widely reported clash between
Shiite guards and residents of Gyallesu that claimed a
number of lives. Yet, there was no response from the
Government.

My advice for your Excellency is this. If your promise
to tackle insecurity is to be a reality you must cut
Shiites down to size. To do that effectively you have
to look around you and make sure that no member of
this group occupies an important position in your
Government. It would be a monumental scandal if
Nigerians come to realize that a member of such a
lawless group is very close to you and/or holding a key
position in your Government. This is regardless of the
intellectual prowess of the person. One would then
wonder what would be the reaction of your
Government when there is a clash between security
forces and members of this group. The millions of
Nigerians that voted for you do not include Shiites.
Nigerian Shiites do not vote unless they engage in
taqiyya which is a kind of hypocrisy allowed in their
religion whereby a person can pretend to be what he/
she is not and act accordingly in order to achieve a
goal. Secondly, no member of the public including
politicians, traditional or religious leaders must be
allowed to use his followers to harass the public. If
Mallam Ibrahim Elzakzaky or any other leader wants
additional security for himself he should be allowed to
employ trained private guards who would not harass
his neighbours. Finally, there should be no double
standard in dealing with different groups.

I wish I had a direct access to you to give you this
advice without making it public. Although I know a few
people around you, I am not quite sure that a
message sent through them would get to you at this
time. And since office-seeking Nigerians have been
sending in their CVs, any document dropped in your
office, no matter its contents is very likely going to
be treated as another CV in disguise.
I wish you Allah’s guidance.

The real sponsors of the Boko Haram menace are being exposed each passing day.

'dodon kodi' in hausa

Islamic law is to be effectively enshrined in the British
legal system for the first time under guidelines for
solicitors on drawing up “Sharia compliant” wills.
Under guidance produced by The Law Society, High
Street solicitors will be able to compose Islamic wills
that refuse women an equal share of inheritances and
discount non-believers entirely, the Sunday Telegraph
reported.
The recommendations can also prevent illegitimate
children, as well as those who have been adopted,
from being included in an inheritance.
Nicholas Fluck, president of The Law Society told the
newspaper that the document, which would be
recognised by Britain’s courts, would promote “good
practice” in applying Islamic principles in the British
legal system.
But some lawyers have described the recommendations
as “astonishing” and campaigners have warned that
the move marks a step towards a “parallel legal
system” for Britain’s Muslim communities.
Baroness Cox, a cross-bench peer leading a
Parliamentary campaign to protect women from
discrimination authorised on the basis of religion,
including from unofficial Sharia courts in Britain, told
the Sunday Telegraph it was a “deeply disturbing”
development.
And she pledged to raise the issue with ministers.
“This violates everything that we stand for,” she
said.
“It would make the Suffragettes turn in their
graves.”
The guidelines were quietly published this month and
distributed to lawyers in England and Wales to “assist
solicitors who have been instructed to prepare a valid
will, which follows Sharia succession rules” while
remaining valid under British law.
In one section it is stated: “The male heirs in most
cases receive double the amount inherited by a female
heir of the same class. Non-Muslims may not inherit
at all, and only Muslim marriages are recognised.
“Similarly, a divorced spouse is no longer a Sharia
heir, as the entitlement depends on a valid Muslim
marriage existing at the date of death.”
And in another section it suggests amending clauses
which define the terms “children” or “issue” to ensure
that illegitimate or adopted offspring are excluded
from the inheritance.
The guidelines also suggest that many Muslim clients
may wish to have a declaration of faith at the start
of their will, which can be worded appropriately with
help from the local mosque.
Currently, Sharia rules are not formally recognised
or included in British laws.
But a network of Sharia courts has emerged to deal
with disputes among Muslim families in Islamic
communities.
A few are officially recognised tribunals, operating
under the Arbitration Act, but many more unofficial
Sharia courts are in operation.
Keith Porteous Wood, executive director of the
National Secular Society, told the Sunday Telegraph :
“This guidance marks a further stage in the British
legal establishment’s undermining of democratically
determined human rights-compliant law in favour of
religious law from another era and another culture.
"British equality law is more comprehensive in scope
and remedies than any elsewhere in the world. Instead
of protecting it, The Law Society seems determined to
sacrifice the progress made in the last 500 years.”
The new guidelines are one example of the practice
notes that the Law Society issues for the use and
benefit of its members.
These documents represent the Law Society's view of
good practice in a particular area. Lawyers are not
required to follow them, but doing so makes it easier
for them to account to oversight bodies for their
actions.

Thank you.

please how can I get this job? any link or how to go about it please. Where to apply please.

Imagine this Prof telling us that history is no more taught in schools today. I was already surprised when the Senator asked about lack of civic education and history been taught in schools as done before only to be angry that a potential minister of education doesn't know that also.
Unilorin peeps, don't you have history department in your school or doesn't he know know that civic edu is been taught in primary schools and history in sec schools?
He's just boring and not promising.
