Lagos Catholics never seem to take processions and Feast days seriously. That's something I like about Eastern Catholics

[quote author=orirebaby post=51227427][/quote]Sebamed will work. It's the go-to line recommended by Dermatologists when there is a skin issue, no matter where.

He had all the time so he got bored I guess.
The poor woman has just been relieved of catering for a paralyzed man.She has her kids to face.

Lai lai. No-one wants an extra mouth to feed in these times, especially a mouth attached to medical bills and requiring 24 hour care. His family and friends will descend on her with all the Pastors and Imams in this Nigeria, armed with enough Emotional Blackmail so that she forgives and keeps him with her. By the time they are done with her, they will have her crying and pleading for him to forgive her for neglecting him, which is why he cheated. They will convince her that it is the will of God, that to send him out is to condemn her and her kids to an awful life and hellfire. All to avoid having her pass the buck to them.That's the Nigerian way

Hello sweet mums,pls welcome me...am new here...

Welcome to the group! Congratulations on your LO and we hope to meet your baby on #Threadbabies fridays.

Ahn ahn, why did he wait till after trad before realising he didn't love you??

Belle.

See, Nigerian boys and girls grow up in a Nigerian Family, surrounded by Nigerian Society. Just imagine all what you have heard and seen about Marriage in Nigeria, what percentage was good? But whilst girls are taught to accept, manage and deal with the situation, 75% of boys are taught nothing positive. So the girls and boys grow up and when Adult, Marital and Parental responsibilities rear their heads, the boys usually go fleeing. Their flight usually coincides with "She's pregnant for me".

I'm not bashing guys, it is a guy that explained this to me. He said no matter how much a Naija guy claims to love a girl, once she is pregnant and they have not wedded fully, the guy goes into panic mode. Because he has not spent his life preparing for Marriage, he spent it preparing for How to Make Money, Buy Car, Build House in His Village, etc. My friend did the same thing to his wife. My hubby would do the same and judging by so many tales on NL, so would 75% of Naija boys.

I haven't met a single one of the other 25%, you know, the "my bf heard I was pregnant, stepped up to the plate instead of panicking and taking out his fear on me and fully supported me till this moment as my husband". I'm really hoping to meet one soon.

OlawunmiPraise:
Ma, hope the bill won't be higher than the aforementioned because the ways things are panning out I will continue using native medicine and continue praying..Thank you so much.

How can DELSUTH, a govt Teaching Hospital, be more expensive than Vicah Clinic (which you mentioned earlier), that is private? Let us check and see first.

Acidosis:
DELSU teaching hospital is at Oghara, not Abraka.

Still not far from Warri. Max 30-40 mins, even better. Unless DELSUTH is on strike but let me confirm.

OlawunmiPraise:
Thank you for your suggestion.

Should I make some phonecalls on your behalf, so that if you take your bro there and they verify everything, they can give the bill and people can help?

OlawunmiPraise, why haven't you tried DELSUTH? Abraka is not far from Warri and it will be cheaper there as it is a Teaching Hospital. Plus there are consultants and surgeons. They won't let Resident Drs do the surgery by themselves. Abraka is 1 hr 15 mins max from you. I know GH Ekpan is one-kain but DELSU is better. Or Federal Medical Centre, Asaba? Farther off but they're really good and it won't cost N150,000.

Which way Nigeria??

Remember that article about drugs running out due to lack of forex? Just went to two different Healthplus Pharmacies to fill out a prescription and not only could they not fill it, they had empty shelves with no medicines. They aren't sure when they will get imported meds. What they had had quadrupled in price. If you have anyone coming into the country this December, ask if they can bring in your drugs for your family.

Tsoye:
I get it already. @invincible enemies.
Thanks for the advice.

You have no invisible enemies. On one account, advertise job placements and identify as male, on another you're a carefree female singleton. Both sound like a University graduate. Yet here you are, a desolate mother of 2 who never had a chance to attend higher education, can't find a job and strangely refused all offers of employment or financial help from corporate sources but wanted free money. This is not about having multiple accounts (no-one truly cares), this is about your multiple personalities which don't add up to the you presenting yourself today. All the best, sha. Maybe someone will still give you money.




What eye does Madam Ifyalways have, for Pete's sake and how can I get it??

Tojued:
Good morning everyone. Let's pray (it's Saturday morning already)

Father thank you.

Thank you for the life of everyone who has ever and will ever be a part of this thread. Thank you for all our families. Thank you that we have deemed it fit to officially invite you into our thread every Saturday.

Be glorified in who you are, mighty God.

We pray that our Saturday prayers will just be the first step of us all living to glorify you. That our faith will transcend this page, and we will truly live lives which honour you. That you be God in all we do.

Dear God, I lift us all into your mighty hands. I ask for your continued blessing on us.

Even as you've given us our los, please provide for us especially in wisdom so we can provide for them.

That whatever venture we and our spouses set our hands on will be blessed.

That you bless us and all our families with fullness of health and length of days.

We ask that on this thread, there will always be rejoicing. Please father, spare us any mourning. We use all our babies who were ill recently as a point of contact, thank you God for healing them.

We beg you for wisdom and common sense. Please keep using each and everyone of us as mouthpieces to help our fellow parents who need our advice. Also prompt us to realise when something is beyond our knowledge and experience.

We specially ask you to bless all those who are waiting on you for children. My father, please fill their quiver with arrows. We all know that children are a gift from you and you alone.

Please bless the land we live in, especially Nigeria. We pray for our country because you've told us that is where we'll find our peace. We declare that Nigeria will be better for our children.

Thank you God, for you are God and there's none like you.

We pray in the name of Jesus Christ.

(Amin, Amin, Amin... Oruko Jesu Amin)

Shalom.

Amen.

thorpido:
Lol

Eh, I was mad that night. How can you do something wrong and take me to the police station to have me accused of an even bigger crime? And you are there, trying to be emotionally manipulative to my mum, playacting Confraternity of Christian Mothers when your plan backfires?? Nigeria can run a sane person mad.

If they had taken that boy to the station, 5 days later he would be back on the street. I don't support Jungle Justice, but I understand where it is coming from. We as a people and the govt must strengthen our Judicial and Justice system. Almost the entire Police Force don't even know Nigerian laws. If you cannot trust the police, you will take the law into your own hands. Until it consumes you one day.

thorpido:
Onegai,you be waffi?

I married one, a fake one. He's so polite and mild-mannered I am a very quiet, good girl, don't mind my noisemaking

cococandy:
People have been fighting me on nairaland since yesterday for talking against jungle justice. I can't even say how scary it is that some one who interacts with me here is capable of such or would support it. Who's safe then?

We live in a jungle, sometimes you do not have the luxury of being civilised all the time. No matter how much you want it.

Abeg be careful with urine oh.... if you must, it has to be yours and you should be in otherwise good health.


My mum told me of a story that a man used his urine for his wife's eye and she went blind as the guy had gonorreah and the urine was infected with the virus abi na bacteria!


True story! The woman in question came to the opticians my mum consulted for!

(carefully places down the cup of fresh urine and backs away slowly from it....)

iomoge2:
My 3weeks plus old baby has chesty cough. She wasnt coughing but u could hear it in her cry.
Then she couldn't sleep all night n coughed this morning.
I did d sugar n oil remedy and she instantly started sneezing it out so i have been extracting mucor.

By the 3rd dose of d sugar n palm oil, she let out the phlegm like vomit. Very plenty.
Now its stuffed nose
The cough has gone. Or should i say reduced. But her nose.
I cant see mucor but she has difficulty breathing. She is even using her mouth.

No one has cough or cattarh at home... dunno how it came about.
Please help with how i can decongest her nostrils so she can even suck n sleep well.

Can you use a bulb or gentle, very gentle mouth suction? I'm still not sure about Eucalyptus oil used neat.There is a baby balm like Rubb, but it was N1200 months ago, so it has probably gone up in price. I'd be scared of using hot water to steam under a towel. But if you can do a big bucket of very hot water and sit in a small bathroom, seal all exits, the steam should be enough and it won't be too close to her and you can suction easier. Or maybe Saline drops? Try the search, people have described what they used for newborns.

See how your house is neat!

Daboomb:
Okay, case closed!

Now l understand why you run your mouth the way you have been doing since yesterday!
Though l think it is out of shame that u are doing a U-turn.

You are not a Lawyer and you are unintelligent, to boot!

Now scram joor.

Thank you very much. Please submit your name so you can go teach my "charge and bail" lawyers. Don't be a chicken. You can do it! It's not be to running mouth anonymously, you are all equals na. I want to be able to say "so-and-so says he will school you in legal matters". Before someone who read your words and may have an issue with his company, takes your advice and sells his car to sue his former employers fighingt a case he has no chance of winning.

1a. List the types of water
Pure water
Bottled water
Dispenser water
Boiled water
Tap/water board water
Rain water
Well water
Meruwa water

1b. Define mai ruwa water
Mai ruwa water is thé water (ruwa) that is fetched by the water man (mai ruwa).

He fetches plenty water from a place we don't know into plenty jericans which he then pushes about from place to place for people to buy.

Please you people should score me!

Hmm, you sound like someone that used to set Common Entrance questions. And I have bad memories about that exam, there were so many questions I couldn't answer...I don't think we should be friends anymore

Comtem2011, mehnnn see how Jesus did it for you o! Water from unknown source with cup shared by several people. Abeg I will thank God on your behalf.

This Tojued's answer reminds me of those Questions: " X walks 5km in one direction in 45 mins, Y walks in another direction 8.3km in 34.5mins, calculate blah blah". Please what did we ever use that thing to solve in our real life because I still don't know how fast it takes me to get to the market from my house Don't worry, I too came first in class just like every single one of us.

comtem2011, the issue is how sensitive they will get the more you continue to refuse their offers of help. You have to tread carefully so they don't say you think you are better than them and that is why you refuse their offers of help. Mehnnn...what is meruwa water, or is it something I don't want to know the meaning

Gerrard59:
Which is why I say most times, that Asians (Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China) are more organised than Westerners.

About the Jamb-like exam, I will say it's cultural to a great extent. The Asians believe how one performs academically prognosticate one's future. The economic history of most modern day Asian nations is riddled with investments in QUALITY education and the Asian Tiger moms. Today where are they?

On the other hand, Africa has similar culture, but undevelopment and bad governance has made academics look unprofitable and undesirable to most young folks. People do say (even on Nairaland), why become an engineer who might become unemployed or underemployed when Davido, Pantoranking and Wizkid are making it big (no disrespect intended) without the academics?

But the South Koreans took it far when compared to the Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese and my favorite Singaporeans. Because of the excessive pressure, Singapore did some changes to her PLSE (our common entrance examination) when students were reported to be committing suicides if they fail even by a mark.
But the culture still remains (Tiger Moms).

I will say that Africa has a lot to learn from Asian nations..

Nigeria is a weird place. We don't really like people knowing too much. Infact, too much education is seen as a hindrance most times here. It is crazy but I don't know any other country where an average doctor and nurse cannot afford to pay their bills without working 2 or more jobs whilst even PA to a Commissioner is balling.

How's your sister? Please let her start her Athletics, remember, opportunities...

MamaOO:
#Threadcuties. Someone was tired of me always taking pictures of him

His bassinet is super-cute. How is Obodo Trump?

Gerrard59, I saw this yesterday and it reminded me of this thread and your love for South Korea.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/nov/17/south-korea-grounds-all-planes-so-students-can-focus-on-college-exam

I mean, talk about Organisational skills! But that is a lot of pressure for a JAMB-like exam.

eyinjuege:
I tire for their wahala. I need to go back and start reading the pages on this thread, it seems to have suddenly gotten interesting .
People like too much stress. Life is too short to spend it chasing after someone that doesn't want you. Its not worth it at the end of the day.
Violence has never resolved issues, especially love wantintin matters.

You know the crazy thing? In 15 years' time, dem go reconcile and be reunited and feel sooo good. People who know them frankly hope they both go to jail because they are awful, he's a manipulative liar and she is a pathological liar. I've heard a worse story than this (also required some legal finessing) from two equally crazy people and they so reconciled a decade in happiness.

comtem2011:
mamas, pls let's be careful of where we keep hazardous things like kerosene and stuff o. One 13months old baby was on admission because she drank snipper.

OHHHHHH JESUS!!!!!

Is she okay?? Ahhhhh!!!! This is why I have never bought sniper till now even though we need it, some chemical analyst chick said that Sniper should not even be sold in the market. Sniper killed our pet chicken

AlphaHandMaiden:
In fact i gave pap for the first time like 3 weeks ago. Now my dd eats well and takes almost everything but she absolutely hated it. so i dont understand why so many people recommend it

Rofemiguwa, let me make a confession to you: almost all the mothers didn't give pap because their babies refused it. I tasted the pap-soy-crayfish-milk version and I gagged, it was so nasty-tasting. So we stopped trying to make her eat it. A lot of the mums I asked, would mention pap because that is the expected answer to "what is a good local weaning food?". We only drank pap after 1, when i added some sugar and milk and served with akara.

slashypexy:
this morning when he woke up he noticed that he his temperature is a little high.

I think you should take him to the hospital. That looks bad and he's running a temp.

babythug:



Beht why those words lol

Because it is a lovely phrase and it felt nice to drop it right there. It is good to sound biblical from time to time

comtem2011:
Kidco, u need to pay commission to onegai o, she brought the idea of these books and the mama that mentioned you.

If they are not ready to collect, I will do so on their behalf.

How is your LO? Is everything okay now?

crazymommy:
K

You believed what Ivie Edobor's lawyer wrote about his termination, which made no sense to even a non-lawyer like me. How is it possible that such could happen? That should have been your first line: "this guy is a joker, which bank's legal team will make such an error and leave the bank exposed to a lawsuit later?"

Anyway, me, I don't want to fight. I have stuff to do and I'm sure you do too. Have a good weekend.
