crazymommy:
you don't sound like someone willing to gain more knowledge.....i guess you know it all.....how on earth will someone that is a lawyer have half baked knowledge about anticipatory guilt??*****faints****well this is nairaland though.....enjoy the moment on the thread...

And you are a lousy lawyer! Because at no point in time did I ever say I was a lawyer, which is why I was speculating my heart away whilst the actual lawyers around me were talking. And all of them are too smart to come online and be speculating but not you. And I had other info on this matter because of the working experiences of both the Edobors. But you are a dunce because you believe anything anyone says, even about your profession. I was deliberately mixing up what I was hearing. It was clear to some lawyers that I knew a lawyer but I wasn't one. Which is why they weren't jumping over my mentions like you were. The fact remains, you cannot prove Zenith Bank fired him for this case, you cannot prove he is not guilty of Assault, but your morals and ethics are so poor that a client can break the law and you cannot be objective about the case. You and Daboomb brought up Anticipatory Guilt and Wrongful termination without wondering how a lawyer will email a company about a criminal case and the company will immediately follow their orders and someone will be foolish enough to call him to say they did. Because when a lawyer writes to a company, it is not their legal team that will respond, it's a random bros with phone who works there and you will go to court to fight Wrongful Termination based on that! I'd love to see you try.

C'mon provide your name or be quiet!!! Oya, lets know how brilliant you were in school, since it is not showing here well

crazymommy:
And they were the ones that told you "anticipatory guilt??no i do not want to believe they told you that,they cannot be as dumb as that....maybe that was your own idea...

Okay, but could you help me out by signing your name to this comment so I can pass it on Pleaassseeee don't be shy, let me know who is insulting me. C'mon...

(I don't go about picking fights because I never whom may be fighting, where they are coming from, but you did, sweetie. So you have my undivided attention, you and that other slowpoke)

crazymommy:
hahaha jesus christ!!!!!!!GOD bless people like prof akinwale of the great university of ibadan oooo,see the way new generation of these days are bastardizing the law and having very myopic knowledge about the law and i begin to wonder what kind of lawyers our law schools and universities are churning out these days,i pity the future of this country ooo if this is the kind of half baked lawyers we are going to be currently seeing in this country?? Do you even understand anticipatory guilt at all??my GOD i need to see those that educated you people at the law school,they need to be sacked if truly they are the ones that passed this half baked knowledge to you and graduated you people or maybe you are still in school studying law??!like seriously??jeez the current educational system has failed!!!!you need to work under a sound legal praticitioner that should educate you more so that you can become a good lawyer in the future...but for now read more law books to sharpern your knowledge....please do not bring ignorance into law and allow people to start talking down on we legal practicitioners...jeez...no wonder many of you this new generation of lawyers have been turned to charge and bail lawyers..no person that needs correct justice phase will ever hire you except if the person is just looking for a charge and bail lawyer or the person is an illiterate or not well informed about law..

Beautiful! I'm quoting you because I wanted to remember who you said your lecturer was.

I spoke to a couple of lawyers. I dunno, but I kinda get the feeling they are more experienced than you guys (I mean, one may be a SAN, the other may have work with very popular chambers and be an experienced 20 year lawyer, one may have been a former Head of a Law school, but maybe you guys are much more experienced). Anyhoo, they kept asking me who exactly said John Edobor was fired by Zenith Bank for this case and all we could see was that the lawyer representing Ivie Edobor wrote that he sent an email to Zenith Bank and someone (some unnamed official) made a phonecall to him stating he was fired because of it. That so far, Zenith Bank has not released any official statement. One of the lawyers said that it was weird that lawyers would NOT know that a termination is based on whatever contract an employee signed with his employer and Zenith Bank cannot willy-nilly fire anyone just like that for any reason, that the Banking Union can easily take up the case of wrongful termination. So if John Edobor got fired, he got fired for breaching some part of the contract he signed with Zenith Bank as per his employment. They all wondered why you two were speculating based on unverified reports that Zenith Bank had fired John Edobor for this case. A fact I kept mentioning but you ignored. Both lawyers asked if you and Daboomb had ever studied Contract Law and one asked for your name, since you mentioned a lecturer. If you would to speak to them, please let me know: I'm sure you know better than they do and you would like a chance to argue your position

eyinjuege, oya come and hear gist. I went to listen to gossip from some people . Ivie and John are a pair and totally deserve each other. It is such a messy situation that neither of them are in any way trustworthy nor are their hands clean. All that has to be determined is who was holding the object when she got hurt. But the lies both of them have told up till this moment I agree with you, all the other receipts said "Mr and Mrs" only the last said "Mr". And read the comment section of blogs carrying this story: people who know them say she has a history of taking and defaulting on loans and he has a history of collecting huge sums of money from her to finance his responsibilities.

Good morning mamas, it's time for #Threadbabies. Please put up your pictures of your cute LOs here. It's not only when you have questions that you should participate on the thread, you gotta join in on everything.


Tojued and Zimunachimdi, please you are leading us in prayera tomorrow morning. Thank youm

Daboomb:
Did l hear someone say you are a Lawyer? I hope you are not the one that made that claim!

* Do you know the difference between "an accusation".... and "a conviction"?
* Do you know that in law, everybody is INNOCENT of any accusation (no matter how apparent!) until PROVEN GUILTY in a court of law?
* Do you know that you cannot act on "anticipatory guilt" of an accused (which means you are second-guessing the Judge as the Judge may decide wither way), to PUNISH the ACCUSED?
* Do you know that Zenith is only acting on their own, without any backing of law (Judgement)?


I see in all the gibberish you wrote up there, that you are talking like a lay-man, by mixing MORALS with LAW!
Both are not the same thing!
Court Judgements are based on the LAW (constitution), Public Opinion is based on MORALS, in most cases.

Stop moralising a criminal charge. [/b]You are too emotional in your post.

[b]But honestly, can you confirm to me that you are a Lawyer, (even a baby-Lawyer), please!

It is not anticipatory guilt, unless you read his letter of termination and it explicitly said he was fired because of this case, they can and will get away with it. Zenith Bank has been firing lots of people in the past one month, shedding jobs due to the economy. Good luck him trying to prove he got fired because of this case when others got letters of termination the same week as he did. Please go and represent him in a civil suit against Zenith Bank, please

You are the person shedding hot bitter tears about her morals and he being worried about influence on his daughters and that made him justified. Look who's being emotional and non-objective. Again, show me the law that states "hey, beat up your immoral spouse, it's totally cool'. Email me when you do.

Ahswear this thread should be retitled "Male Tears"

I wonder what will happen if they actually knew women who had gotten away with actual murder of their spouses. Good lawyers got the Murder charges dropped to lesser charges and more reasonable sentences. If Ivie gets a SAN, John is going to jail. Next time I see a wife who has poisoned her husband, I will raise funds for the best Criminal lawyer in town to defend her, just so I can watch their blood boil here

Daboomb:
There are also holes in your analysis!

First, his children live at Surulere, with their mother.
In this age of randy paedophilia (which has a high proportion of mother's Boyfriends committing the crime), the man might be worried for his daughter, seeing what his daughters are being exposed to, at an early age.
So, he has reason to go to that house, to confirm if really, some "Uncle mathew" is seducing hos daughters with Suya.
A responsible woman with three daughters should never expose them to seeing a man sneaking into their mother's bedroom overnight.


Secondly, true, she suffered a broken leg but how that translates into "attempted murder", is the work of incompetent Police men who are probably acting under some financial inducement.
Its a good thing they are even charging him for attempted murder and not Assualt because any good Lawyer will get that charge thrown out, at first attempt.
It could be an aggravated assault charge but Murder is just a stretch, a useless one for that matter.
You dont attempt to kill somebody by hitting them on the leg!
What happened to hitting them on the head, chest or other sensitive area that are very open and accessible? Nonsense.
How do you "prove" that he attempted to KILL HER?
Murder is not proved by saying he has the "intent", without solid evidence (like a knife cut to the throat or a blow to the head) that expressly confirms that the intent was to kill.... but the attempt failed.

Now, you have mixed-up the picture of the fetus at 5months (when they have limbs) and five weeks when they are just a blob.
Dont be so hasty to defend. You missed it completely.

You also goofed by saying "it was the Judge who amended the case to attempted murder"!
Judges to amend case, they decide on exactly what is brought before them irrespective of what they think.
It is only her Lawyer who can (but in this case, l think it is the Public Prosecutor, the Police IPO, who amended the charge).

Now, as per his defence, the accused, through his Lawyer just needs to show the inconsistency in her stories (lies ) indicating that the court cannot take her word for truth, show her character (like previous terminations for crimes at her former work places) to be somebody who cannot be trusted and that where there is no witness to the event, her version is not worth believing.

I am sure the guy has enough exhibit to show, even if he did assault her, it was due to extreme provocation.
How do you sleep with another man, while carrying a pregnancy for your husband... and then go abort the children just to hide your shameless act? What manner of women do we have these days?

As long as they are still legally married and his children are under that roof at Surulere house, he has all the right to be there.
The person who has no right to be there (and l really hoped it was his head that was broken and it will be legal) is that family destroyer called Mathew.
The husband should counter-sue and join Mathew to the suit.
That way, the matter will be open before the Judge, in all its ramifications

At the end of the day, the Judge will advice them to be Civil with each other or seek a divorce

Another angle to the story is that while the matter is in court (sub judice), some NGO has taken it upon themselves to act as Judge and Jury by tarnishing the image of the husband at his place of work, causing his sack.
When all these is concluded (the assault matter), if he is discharged nd acquitted, he needs to sue the NGO and sue Zenith bank, for qrongful termination and demand very punitive damages.

The assault/attempted murder/infidelity/termination of fetus without consent is a domestic issue.
It has NOTHING to do with his job or Zenith Bank because it did not occur at Zenith bank, while he was on Zenith bank's premises or duty and Zenith should not have acted, without waiting for the decision of the court.
The worst they coul dhave done is place him on temporary leave (with pay), to sort out his legal issues and then act when the court decides.

By sacking him, Zenith Bank has already pronounced him guilty, deprived him of the means to prosecute his case (financially) and acted on a matter pending in court.

I guess the Zenith payout will feed him for the rest of his life.

Employers like Zenith bank, need to understand that when shyt happens between husband and wife, it is to be decided in a family court of law, not in the office and a lot of women at taking advantage and making their estranged spouse to lose their job, in this hard times, even on trumped-up charges.

Chevron and a lot of companies will do the same to you, if you are charged with assault. Your personal life is not supposed to overcome your public life. Nobody wants to be associated with someone accused of such. What if they send him to a meeting to a wealthy client who barely survived being murdered by her husband, is she supposed to shine teeth at him? He's a liability. They will look for the first possible reason to get rid of you. And Zenith lawyers are excellent, the Head of any Legal dept in a bank is a guru, so let him try and sue that is when people will know Sugarcane no be Bamboo. When people have gotten away with murder because a SAN was representing them, you think Zenith Bank will allow their junior lawyers handle this. Or that Zenith Bank didn't review his case before allowing HR give that sack letter. Let him sue, when they are done with him, he will quietly go to his village and open a dry-goods store.

And stop being emotional, her morals are not on trial. If he hated her morals, what stopped him from petitioning for full custody during the divorce? At the end of the day, you cannot kill someone for being immoral, you divorce them. If you all keep shouting he is justified, women will start advising wives being cheated on that it is fine to feed Sniper to your husband when he cheats. If John gets away with this, expect a lot of attempted murder cases in the future, from a lot of cheated-on wives. So how many more precedents do you men want to set, you already have set the precedent that cheating is okay in marriage so your wives now follow suit. You want to set the precedent that it is justified to commit murder on cheating spouse, the population of husbands will drop drastically. I guess it's open season on offending spouses

diva90:
I agree! Cos u never know how handy all that will come.
The man's side of the story is believable and the fact that he has evidence even makes it stronger.
I just don't understand people who have unprotected sex with people who are not their spouse. Imagine killing 7 months old babies ... The woman get mind

Well, nurses and doctors here have been saying that that scan has inconsistencies in it and only shows one fetus and not twins. So, that is a point against him. They can say he paid a technician in the area to fake it. You cannot scan a single gestational sack in first trimester that miraculously becomes twins in second trimester.

eyinjuege:
They were separated. As I said earlier, let's remove sentiments and be objective.

Its not a battle of the sexes, even though I know this is NL, and there's always something to fight about.
If its not gender, it's tribe.

The man agreed they were seperated.

There's a difference pls, let's not get it wrong.
Don't be surprised that only her name is on the rental of the place.

Pls, where are the lawyers here?
Is there a difference in being separated, married or divorced. Let's hear from them.

I know there's a difference, but I'm no lawyer. I equally know when you film forms regarding marital status, there's always a column for married, separated, divorced, so there's definitely a difference in the relationships, and definitely different expectations.

2 years of Legal Separation and you can file for Divorce.

iykedare:
Jesus, did you read his own side of the story. Did you see his evidence? I expected better from you.

What a generation of women. No wonder men want women who are like half their moms.

Is he being judged on his parenting skills? No, because that is not what is on trial here. Is he trying to prove that she has a history of provoking him? Yes. Does the Law state that if your spouse is a bad spouse, you can kill him/her? NO! You are expected to divorce or reconcile, not go for a grudge match and expect the Law to support personal vengeance. After all, if the brothers of all the girls you slept with and dumped, beat you into a wheelchair, will you like the court of Law to state that they did it under extreme provocation and let them all go scot-free? Nope. Is he being judged for attacking his estranged wife? Yes. Did he go to her house at 1am in the morning to look for a fight? Yes. Did he get arrested then? Yes. Does he have a valid and justifiable reason for going to waylay his estranged wife at 1am in the morning in a house that is not under his purview? He has not provided it.

Stop being so emotional and be logical. If she had poisoned him and claimed extreme provocation, she would still be facing jail time and you guys will be satisfied that justice has been served. Unless he can explain why he went to Ivie's house at 1am without prior invitation, he is presumed to have gone there with an intent to cause serious wahala. He cannot even claim Self-Defence because HE CARRIED HIS 2 LEGS FROM AJAH TO SURULERE TO WAYLAY HER AT HER HOUSE AT 1am in the morning. He has to show evidence that she invited him there. It doesn't matter if Ivie was the she-devil, the Law expects that you as an adult, should be able to save yourself from demonic influences and flee for your own safety. If he's lucky, he will get Assault which is a lesser charge than attempted murder.

After he found out she was pregnant with another man's child. He could have WALKED AWAY and only worry about Visitation and Custody for his daughters. Or are you all forgetting pictures of him in bed with another woman are all over the internet? Ivie's lawyer can use that to negate all this "she cheated" story.

Let this serve as a warning to everyone: walk away from any disastrous situation so that you don't die or you are not provoked into making someone else die. There is no defence like "he or she pushed me to do it"...not unless you can buy yourself a good verdict or get a well-connected SAN to defend you. Instead of staying and enduring till you feed Sniper to your husband or bludgeon your wife to death, walk away and don't look back.


Now, look what you made me do, I was about to insult one nonenity but I took the time to reply you and now cannot be bothered to check his moniker. Shame on you!

eyinjuege:
All those school fees receipts except the last one had Mr and Mrs on it. The only one I can confidently say he paid was the last one posted. He insisted they write only his name on the receipt. Don't be surprised if Ivie brings out her bank records and transactions to show the money leaving her Acct to the schools acct (transfer or cheques).
I'd like to see his bank records before I can say for sure who paid the school fees. That's very easy to verify.
I say this because hardly will a man be separated from his wife, and will still be including her name in school fees receipt if he's the one paying.
Anyway, wetin consign me. I like all these civil and criminal cases.
Its just sad our police don't know how to investigate properly, and nobody bothers about forensic investigations.
The hammer in question, whose finger prints are on it? Who even owns the hammer in the first place sef? The owner must have brought it out from wherever- car boot, or house to cause havoc and nothing else.
So many questions...

That's true o. Well, let Ivie give a rebuttal by releasing her bank records for those months, if they show that she withdrew corresponding amounts of money, then there is a high chance she paid the schoolfees in parents' names to cover up a crumbling marriage and that her ex tried to manipulate evidence to make her look bad. And if that is true, no judge will believe he isn't capable of attempted murder. He will be toast. Ivie and lawyers, over to you!

At the end of the day, who broke her leg is the koko, all these are distracting and public sympathy plays.

TheArchangel:
Keep the sh!t coming pipu!!!! Entertainment galore


Meanwhile, there is no evidence of multiple pregnancy as the scan is showing Singleton gestation.

Grab your popcorn!

cococandy:
I'm lost. What's the genesis of the story?

Lagos marriages. One week one trouble.

He broke her leg. She's currently on crutches. The case got charged to court. His place of work was pressured to sack him. She took his gist to the bloggers as a deadbeat dad. He's defending.

Very boring Assault case. I've heard of much more interesting cases, nothing like a man dying and multiple kids and multiple wives. They can bring their babalawo to court

Ladies and gentlemen, if you're fighting with your spouse, save your messages. Email your Whatsapp and BBM messages with spouse to yourself. This is simple Spousal Battle Tactics 101. Everyone should know this.

Hmm, he's got enough to prove reasonable doubt. But there need to be witnesses as to the assault to say what happened. Because right now, that's his word against hers. Ivie claims he attacked her and her bf, he claims it was a 3-way brawl and she got hurt by her bf, both of them should provide witnesses. He is on trial for attempted murder of his spouse, not for not paying Child support. Though it was bad of her to lie about that to the media.

I don't buy that first marriage one, St. Dominic's is very thorough about their vetting process. So they would have announced banns in her village so that some nosy neighbour would come forward and they will stop the wedding. He would have been informed of her previous marriage to another man. Catholic church doesn't play with banns in Nigeria.

And they can subpoena her doctor in court to produce her medical history to prove a late-term abortion or not. So he should provide the name of the hospital in Surulere to the court. However, the wife says he kicked her out 2 years before the assault, the messages see her admitting that their marriage broke down 2 years before assault. How come he thought it was his? Unless they were still living together.

If one looks at the dates from the payments, August 2014, they were in school in Abraham Adesanya, so it's either they still lived close to Laura Stephens. And that payment was for 2014/2015 session. But August 2016, they were paying for 1st term in a Surulere school.
There is no 2015 schoolfees attached, so maybe she paid for that year.

Why is her scan showing single gestational sac (one baby) yet he claims she aborted twins? Na so??

He's being charged with attempted murder (the NGO scaled up the charges from assault). The Law allows that a scuffle can lead to a slap in an argument with your spouse, but punches and visible beating and any broken limbs or anything that comes to the hospital is Assault.

If he can get a good lawyer, someone that handles Criminal cases, he can prove reasonable doubt to the Judge that Ivie is a an untrustworthy plantiff so her version of the story cannot be trusted and insist on witness account around the area. Someone must have seen or heard something. If they were brawling with her bf, Surulere is not so quiet that someone won't have opened their window to peek and pokenose. Sometimes, an amebo neighbour can be a lifesaver o

There are holes in both their stories. The fact remains, he was at her Surulere residence at a time he should not have been. That is why he is being charged with Attempted Murder, the only reason he would show up at his estranged wife's house at 1am is because he went there looking for a fight. So, all this may help him but he will definitely get a charge on his head. I suspect this info dump is to sway the court into dropping the Attempted Murder charge to Assault. His lawyer is trying to show that Ivie has a history of extreme provocation towards John. So that yes, he went to look for a fight/confront her and her lover but he did not plan on things escalating.

It doesn't matter if you married the devil, you are not allowed to attempt to physically beat him up and get away with it. You are expected to divorce the devil or reconcile with the devil but not get into a fight with it.

Tojued:
I may have been part of that conversation because that was the solution that worked. The cradle cap went in less than a week, and now I wash daily. I was only sharing my experience of when I stopped washing his hair twice a day and how it led to cradle cap.

With the way my grandma embarrassed me, i'd rather risk him having strong hair by daily washing than have a recurrence of cradle cap @rofemiguwa. Thank God he's a boy self, make hair strong if e like, we're cutting it at six months.

Does hair being strong not have anything to do with genetics? as per hair type. I'm 4c, hubby is 4c, so i don't expect my son to have 2a type of hair. The guy has already inherited male pattern baldness from me self.

I believe Cradle cap is made worse by dryness. The only shampoo the dermatologist would recommend was Sebamed during that time and it took a while to work. Oil worked faster. And shampoo is drying. I have type 4 hair but I have seen so many type 4 hairs that are soft and manageable because they moisturise constantly and are using the right products for their hair. Mothers of young babies don't usually have time to deep con, prepoo, spritz daily and so much. Though I'm trying to improve.

As an aside, I really really hate when I ask those Natural Hair Gurus what products they would recommend and they smugly reply "it's different for everyone, you have to try everything and see what works". I'm usually like "Bissshhh do I look like I have the time and money to be spending buying your entire store and helping you earn money reading your blog, before you hand me a bottle of the right conditioner? What is the point of typing my hair if you won't advise me what others with my hair type use??"

kingwax7007:
next time, when u go to the market to buy mean, buy brains, lots of it.. No be only zombies dey eat brain, even folkish people need it more.

Venezuela is in recession because like Nigeria, they are all dependent on oil.. They were the top oil producers before and they are import-based country like ur yeye country..

So, next time, imagine the brain as an app and use it!!!

Sigh. You thought you sounded smart, didn't you oya clap for yourself

CHARLESTON007:
I want to thank you all for ur advice but sadly I did everything possible but to no avail as the mail I sent them was delivered but no reply tried calling them but the number was switched off and the girls was taken to the trafficker by her 3 girls all underage about to be taken to Italy for prostituting allow these agencies"naptip etc" should be dissolved Cus they are of no use

I know there used to be churches organising programs to bring these girls back and they are based in Italy. I wish I knew their contact. You cannot stop them, most of them know what they are going there for and only the ones who cannot handle the reality of it or have bad madams complain and run away and feign Ignorance. The situation is also not helped when their relatives back in Benin proudly show off their homes, cars and improved lifestyles built on the monies they eventually send back. No-one in Nigeria respects a clean, minimum income, we like flashy stuff. Try and google Eki Igbinedion, she had an NGO for this that was active.

Tojued:
Hmm but when i stopped washing daily, he had cradle cap. Was so embarrassing because none of my grandmother's offspring have ever had cradle cap. Na only me wey one come form oyinbo natural hair tins for my pikin. In short its shampoo I now use.

Anoint with oil, leave to soak in, then comb out gently. I learnt that here when we had Cradle cap. That's why I recommend the Search.

Thank you so much mama Onegai....My DD doesn't take milk expect in her cereals...I give her egg(she has started rejecting it lately), banana and other foods, also vegetable daily..What other food do u suggest...I thought only my daughter , she is so strong....something I imagine if i unknowingly give her steroid , and extremely active. Though she is a chubby baby but not over weight, am think the weight also contributes it.

Do research on the internet and check the Search function, it was mentioned some months back.

[quote author=sarrki post=51101127][/quote]Dude, don't mention Lagos-Ibadan expressway or people who ply that route will come for your head. Let me look for pictures of the road from yesterday so you can see and come and say what you said earlier with a straight face. How come most of us who voted for him cannot feel the positive effects of his governance? I voted Buhari and I can assure you, he's not getting my vote again. He got almost all votes from my family and every single one of them is completely kept quiet now. Or am I now a wailer, is that your only defence??

I don't know if anyone has seen this thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/3467558/crisis-looms-prices-drugs-increase#51097206

Basically, drugs are getting more expensive because of the Forex issue. Prices are skyrocketing or expensive drugs are not being replaced. Children's mulitvitamins were highlighted. Please we all need to be careful where we buy our medicines because knowing Nigerian factor, unscrupulous people will start cutting corners and selling expired and substandard drugs at chemists and pharmacies. I believe I trust Healthplus enough and I know a few other pharmacies around Lagos I think I trust. But let us be very careful. Also, in getting drugs from your hospital be also watchful, especially if it is all those small private clinics that is basically a one-man show. They may wish to cut corners.

I think what the researchers are saying is "don't give pap/ogi as a daily meal unless you fortify it with enough protein combos". Pap, like custard should be fine for maybe twice a week. Because people do take plain pap with milk and give their babies daily, see the child getting plump and think the child is healthy.
Nigerian food is carb-heavy because our ancestors used to trek to the farm and do strenous work under the sun all day and trek back. So they needed high-energy carb rich foods. Just like a footballer or runner. We don't live like that anymore.

So, we are about to become Venezuela...where people, including babies, die of easily treatable diseases due to lack of drugs. Venezuela is collapsing at the hands of an incompetent leader, foodstuffs are being rationed. Seems Nigeria wants to join this and already we have an expected famine and a food crisis in the North East. The governments of past could have petitioned WHO so that we can manufacture Malaria, Typhiod, Retrovirals and Vaccines here since and avoid this situation, as India does.

mumsgirl27:
Good Afternoon mamas, My 13months old daughter has bow-leg, what can i do to rectify it, am think of buying wellbaby(vitamin D drop). Advice pls

Take her to a doctor, find out if it's a serious condition (some require surgery) and if it isn't, focus on her diet changing more than convenient multivitamins. There is a lot going on in multivitamins research and a lot of paeditricians don't recommend it for their own children unnecessarily but will let yours swallow it easily. Because the parent insist on it. There are foods rich in Calcium and Vitamin D available cheaply everywhere, do your research. I'm saying that as a parent whose child doesn't drink milk and stopped since 5 months plus by herself, who has excellent bone density (no matter how many derring-do jumps she performs from the centre table, her legs are strong enough to kick painfully at night). Anyhoo, choice is yours

babythug:
Babe!!!

I just feel somewhat compelled to respond because I recall I in particular "harassed" you on the ogi matter! I didn't realize you didn't quite like it and I apologize. I sincerely was trying to be light hearted at the time. I am pro ogi even till now and would understand if anyone else doesn't like it for their children.

So friends as usual?

Was going to share a funny story with you but only after you respond to this comment!

No-one said Ogi/Pap was bad, I think the idea was that, if you are going to give Pap, either put in a lot of work to make it nutritious (that study says even pap and groundnut isn't nutritious enough) or give other healthy meals. One of my siblings call Pap and Indomie "food of death". They laugh privately when they hear parents say "Indomie is endorsed by the Nutrition Society of Nigeria and I add egg and veggies to it". But they don't tell their patients because they don't like arguing.

When my paeds met me, one didn't send me and the other was like "sure you can give your baby blah blah". When they found out they were colleagues of my siblings, they changed to "why are you focusing on giving multivitamin when you should be focusing on fruits and veggies, and you better not give Indomie, give whole wheat Spaghetti with veggies and regular spaghetti if you want her to be fat".

I'm pretty sure their public and private opinions about Soymilk will follow the same route. No-one recommends soymilk over cowmilk in general but I read differently on NL. But it's every parent's choice at the end of the day.

Why are people bleating about this? Nothing will be done, no-one cares and nobody cares enough to fight in public and in the law courts. This topic won't even get 4 pages of reasonable comments, especially once a thread about what Tonto or Wizkid or E-money wore to some event, pops up.

I'm tired of Nigeria TBH...

ApexTitan:
Not sure what you are talking about. Vocational jobs like you listed above are the kinds of jobs that are least likely to be outsourced. If anything, in this age of outsourcing and globalisation people should look to acquiring more vocational and technical skills. There will always be a need for plumbers, carpenters and such jobs will need to be performed on-site where the demand is located.

Employers, just like consumers, will always look to get the most value they possibly can. They will give jobs to those who are the most skilled at the lowest cost. What are you suggesting here (in reference to your last sentence)?

Plumbers and Carpenters are the lower end of the spectrum in vocational skills, especially in Nigeria. And almost all of them are poorly trained and are still supervised by foreign workers who are technicians. A proper trained Generator Technician, Auto Technician or IT guy is the higher end of the spectrum of vocational skills. If FG wants a wealthier populace, they would be smart to reduce University students (because over half of them are poorly trained) and focus on vocational tech training, which can attract investors the same way India attracts investors.

Has it passed Nigeria yet? I didn't see anything.

Edited: raced out to see it. Orange coloured moon. I wish the clouds had cleared for me to take a pic.

This must have happened on the island, where Marek is popular.
