Sorry nothing is out yet .... the site still have 2017 on nothing like 2018 yet

You are right, just checked now and nothing. Called their customer service line and they told me to check again in the evening.

We'd wait I guess....

Nice post. We need to start creating the awareness before this gets out of hands.
I, for one, am considering vasectomy, pity there’s no known specialist in Nigeria.

Try Marie Stopes International and DKT International, they offer a wide range of contraceptive services.

We should also look at the socio cultural factors that encourage people to have more kids that they can cater for.

According to the NDHS 2013, over 90% of men and over 80% of women respectively are aware of at least one family planning method, however, in a twist just about 15% use a contraceptive method. This shows a huge disconnect between knowledge and uptake of this service.

So what are those factors that make men and women not to use contractive stuffs despite being aware of them, socio cultural belief, access to services, availability of services ? I don't believe it is religious because taking a look at some other equally religious countries like Egypt, Arab countries, they have a far less total fertility rate than Nigeria which is estimated at about 5.6 children per woman and even as high as 8 per woman when disaggregated by states.

I also believe that a high level of very younger girls getting married has contributed to this population explosion.

We currently have a population of over 180 million and with a current growth rate of about 2.6% , we need to act and fast otherwise we would have a huge demographic disaster in our hands!

They couldn't even spell 'Members' correctly. 'Memebers indeed!!

MTN be like 'Arsenal fans should send 'STOP' to '59001' to stop Bayern Munich from scoring more goals'...

@ Chief Sweetus,

It's really good to hear from you, just recently a friend who also is a nairalander and myself wondered where you were- good to know that you are fine.

Your acts of kindness is as touching as it is really inspiring -really heart warming to know that in the midst of this whole madness individuals with milk of human kindness still exist.‎

About Musa,‎ while waiting, hopefully, for the social welfare unit of Lagos state, can inquiries also be made about NGOS that can take care of him. The Social Welfare unit even if on their own can't do much, they can certainly recommend NGOs that can take in Musa.

The things we take for granted though.........‎

During my last baby d percentage of protein in my urine was high but thanks to d hospital and d Docs on duties. but a friend told me that she use to have her baby by herself at home, she said going to hospital is a waste of money

Your last point is also a great contributor to the high Maternal mortality we have here in Nigeria. A project I once worked in recognised this and went ahead to sensitize leaders of Religious institutions on the dangers inherent in this act. Also women were sensitized on some of the danger signs of pregnancy and to seek medicare from skilled birth attendants urgently.

In some communities in the North and Enugu state, the issue of permission by mothers in law/husband also was a factor whereby a woman will be in labour and because these people were not around, she can't be taken to a health facility. To curb these we made advocacy visits to traditional gatekeepers to make a rule/law whereby once a pregnant woman noticed any danger sign of pregnancy she can be rushed to a nearby health facility without waiting for permission (we call this standing permission)

Traditional birth attendants also need to know their limits and when to refer to proper health facilities.

ANC is very important in a pregnant woman's life and should be encouraged to do this. However, health workers should improve on their interpersonal skills(be more humane) in order not to discourage pregnant women from attending.

Above all, massive sensitization/outreaches using multipronged approaches religious gatherings, markets, motor parks, IEC materials, radio announcements, during ANC sessions to let women know about danger signs of pregnancy and the need to go for help (make informed decisions about their health) in the nearest health facility (access) with skilled health workers (quality).

God bless our women

Aero, First Nation, now Arik. Isn't it getting interesting? We 'd soon be traveling on horses and donkeys.

ME BEFORE YOU 2016...Phew! I had anticipated a world class romantic drama, but then again it needed patience and time to see it all d way,cos if u watch d first 10 mins you'd almost feel bored. But I persisted with it and it turned out good as d movie continued to d very end. I love d numerous dialogues though, which is typical of most drama+romance Genres. 6.5/10.

Please assist. I have downloaded some movies on the link you provided earlier. However, the movies don't play till the end. They play around 24 mins and stop. How can i download the complete files that can play on both tv and laptop to the end. I was just watching 13 hours,it ended just about 24 minss, then God's of Egypt same thing.

How do I get to know the file/movie link that is complete?

fellis:
The few good roads we have left

and how many are they. What his route falls in the majority of the roads-bad ones?

fellis:
Nice one OP. I wish more Nigerians rode bicycles.

Biko, ride bicycles on top which road?

MadCow1:
Small Tyres (in terms of surface area).. Less resistance and better speed.


Comfortable seats.. Make blister no full your yansh after 1 week.

8 - 12 speed gear system.

Some form of suspensions to cushion the impact of Nigerian bumpy roads.

Blinkers and reflectors that work.

A bell or alarm system for horns.

A platform at the back for carrying light small stuff.




Buy a Rosary and a Bible and say your last prayers everytime before you ride.

Also take out a life insurance for yourself so your people go see profit in case you die.

Buy PPE (Helmet and Neon Reflector jacket) for safety.





ALSO buy SURE deodorant carry join body and Body Spray to use after every ride to work make you no use body odor deplete the ozone layer for your office.


Best of Luck.

Tithing is a scam....period

I'd rather give my 10% to charity than give it to any pastor.

Hahaha. Hello Uzo

Ponponkon:
Yes it will be built.

Okay, any timeline in plan?

Ponponkon:
By August God willing. But let me correct one impression, Enyimba didn't loose to Zamalek because of playing in PH. We have won so many games outside and within the country. Just have to admit that Enyimba had always struggle against Egyptian teams. Recall that Alhaly of Egypt had beaten us twice in Aba. So Enyimba are not a team to depend on home advantage

Ponponkon,

Please what's the status of the new site for Abia polytechnic. Will this still be built as planned?

You can imagine the shock....i've. never experienced anything like this before.

Why make such decisions on our stuffs without consulting the passengers first, we would have at least made a decision on which of our items to take along.

Mods, I usually don’t do this but we need to make this go viral so that service providers would seat up-especially airline Operators.

We were scheduled for an Aero 11am flight from Lagos to Owerri today, 26th March, 2016. We didn’t leave till 1:15pm (from 11am!!) after the usual nonchalant apologies for the crew of Aero...

We got to Owerri and were waiting for our luggage at the baggage claim, after about 45 minutes, some people got their bags and some of us to our shock were told by the Aero Owerri Ground manager Mr Ignatius Omone that the pilot decided to leave some of our bags in Lagos!!! Excuse being that luggage were too much!!

Imagine the shock, why weren’t we asked in Lagos so that we can make a decision which bags to take or leave, or if we wanted to check in our luggage.
Some of us included a couple and a baby who had a wedding to attend in Awka, no change of clothes even for the baby, some of us don’t stay in Owerri or Imo state. Others don’t have any change of clothes, even underwear… (Affected also included Victor Osuagwu-Nollywood actor). A woman has been on the air for about 72 hours from abroad only to get home and realise that her bags were left in Lagos.

Aero are not offering to deliver our bags to our houses, that we should come back to the airport again tomorrow (27th March, 2016), please note that some of us stay outside Imo state, Awka, Umuahia, Aba, Mbaise…please mods do the needful, this impunity must stop!!

My brother, we are neighbors. I stay in amac/ACO... No light for many days now. If u even see it it may be a few minutes duration every two days. But now it's been over four days we have not seen anything. I hear federal housing lugbe even has light. We at ACO are suffering like mad. So sad when u see figures that absolutely don't commensurate with your situation, despite the unfair billing. So sad.

My brother, I actually feel like weeping. In Trademore Estate, they just flash it for half second like 4 times a day. Fuel, 200/250 per litre at black market as petrol stations won't agree to sell fuel in jerry cans. The worst part is no hope in sight.

Biko why does Borthwick-Jackson run like that?

Ponponkon:
Governor Ikpeazu together with the former rector Prof Uche Ikonne who is now the new VC of Absu laid the foundation for Abia poly's new site at Osisioma Aba. That was 4 months ago and work is ongoing there at the moment

Wow, good news. It seems Governor Ikpeazu is doing much more than people who aren't privy to such info or resident in Abia know. Information dissemination should also be focused on

Ponponkon:
Even the blind knew that Ikpeazu won the election.

(1) Isiala Ngwa (62,355 registered voters)
PDP – 19,798
APGA – 6,853
(2) Osisioma Ngwa (88,867 registered voters)
PDP 42,111
APGA 1,017
(3) Obingwa (128,000 registered voters)
PDP – 82,240
APGA – 1,952

The record is now before the supreme court,let's see why the 3 LGAs was cancelled by lagos zone appeal court judges. Don't worry over that irrelevant verdict. Even Ahamdi Nweke the so called star and gulder witness messed up on AIT today because he couldn't even explain what the olowole judges called verdict

What's Gov Ikpeazu's plan for Abia state polytechnic.Does he plan to get a permanent site, it's current location doesn't seem to contain them very well and may very well need to be decongested.

FrontPageLawyer:
Good luck

Hi FPL, Justwise, Oreskid, just another update. Picked up my passport today, visa granted.

Many thanks for your support on this

FrontPageLawyer:
OK. I was able to remove it after several attempts. Good Luck

Many thanks FPL for your kind assistance all through this period-really appreciated. By way of update, I made the appointment yesterday and paid for the priority service, by today I got the update that UKVI has received my application. Hoping that a favourable decision is made in time for me to travel on Friday.

FrontPageLawyer:
Don't understand what you want me to take down.

Thanks

FrontPageLawyer:
Yes, make use of your salary and savings account. Your pay slip will play an important role because it shows your monthly tax deductions from your salary except your have the tax card then you can include it.

If you're working in a blue chip company, you'll need a letter of sponsorship addressed to the British High Commission, but for an SME or smaller corporation, you'll need the company's statement of account and Tax clearance Certificate attached to your application.

Fast Track doesn't guarantee visa and you might still experience additional delays as there are usually longer waiting time obtaining visas at peak periods and holiday seasons, reason why you should have submitted earlier.

Do a hotel reservation at www.booking.com; attach copy of the confirmation to your application or did you not fill where you'll stay whilst in the UK?

You're asking some questions at the wrong time.

Best of luck.

Thanks

Many thanks Frontpagelawyer, well, from what you've said , I'll just keep my fingers crossed. The timing is just not so ideal.

Yes, I did fill out the name of the hotel I would be staying in, it's also in Bath.

I deduce from your advice that priority service might not be affect anything , needless going that route moreso because of the timing again.

Thanks for you best wishes, I'll surely need it. I will give this my best short anyway and be ready for whatever comes out of it not without learning my lessons/gaining experience.
