nice idea @mama zaynie; but i support mama ifyalways's idea of keeping everything open. i.e no account opening because oftentimes, our good

intentions get misjudged and we get hurt by the very people we show love to.

i'm really sorry to refer to this but remember what happened to sunday selfie in ttc thread. if something like that can generate so much hostilities,

how much more when it involves money?

btw, mamas corner sounds cool

Noted
And there was zero hostility from my end.
I was cool, calm and in control all the way to the end

in other news, i need help ASAP before my hair turns grey from worrying. my son has graduated. he now eats only eba and okro soup. every

other thing is a no no for him. dh says it's ok since he eats atleast but my worry is how does eating eba every day supply him the nutrients his


body requires? please help me cos right now, i'm at my tethers end

of course. the situation got 'handled' subtly

Mama ifyalways' point is very valid

I was also just wondering wat the sharing formula will be. If dere is say 20k in d account, and someone has a 30k need, will dere be a standing rule dat a beneficiary cannot be given more dan a certain percent of d account balance? A lot will have to b considered.

I support openness. Specific monetary needs shld b communicated and persons who are led can donate freely.

Good idea ma.
But I think a thread should be opened for it to avoid overcrowding of the new born thread.
I pray it works out well.
Thanks.

thanks a million for this reassurance. i don sick for the matter sef. #hugerelief

abeg, lemme disturb you again (oliver twist ) eba, semo, or wheat, which one is more nutritious?

If possible let us buy what they need n gv them.in so doing it will eliminate ppl who will try n open biz on d good intention of d group

Not much difference btw the 3 but wheat has high fibre that can help with digestion

zaynie, I like the idea!
Name suggestion; Be happy charity!

zaynie:
Alphahandmaiden, I trust ya.
If you didn't write an epistle I would have thought your account got hacked .


I've noted everything you put down.
Thanks

I want this to be an e-yard sales.
Pictures and specifications would be put on.
Location and last price will also be attached. (no negotiations)
Once the sale is over, all transactions stop. Payment might still continue behind closed doors but if you've sold it off, you need to modify the picture and comment GONE.
I proposed monthly cos of those who might need things urgently or for the lazy ones who would take forever to ransack the stores (I'm guilty of this ).
Don't put mama Zaynie o, you want my mentions to burst ni?! . Someone suggested Mama's Corner, I think that's a good idea. What do you think?
If we take it to facebook, I have a feeling more people would crawl in here and deprive our people of the help. , unless we make it a secret group. But then people would have to reveal their identity and profile on FB.
Payment is between buyer and seller. Each should shine their eyes which is why i put a sort of bar on any new joiner. Only an unserious conman would put up a farce over a sterilizing unit for 6m
I won't be doing this alone, I wan die ni? You sef you're joining. I would like it to be a 12-woman team from active moms on the Preggy, newborn and ttc thread with at least 3 domiciled in US or UK.
Joint account, yes oh yes. Very important. We would need an accountant too.




Oya turn the light bulb on, let's do this

Great initiative Zaynie! With the truckload of wise mamas we have here, I'm certain this will be a success.

Can a separate thread on NL be created for this then? For privacy sake and because of those who are not on other social media platforms.

I can't wait to contribute in putting a smile on someone's face.

Many people say wheat isn't as healthy as we're made to believe.
Fortified semo is fine.
Eba is made from fermented foods
You can alternate. Semo today, eba tomorrow

I think u just write the address of the post office. Oshodi Post Office, Oshodi Road, Lagos.

Happy birthday Naomi14

myrygurl:
Just a suggestion zaynie
I think since money is involved, in other to be sure the donation goes to the right hand, it will be better if any means of identification can be provided b4 giving out e.g ID card, Int pasport, etc...to avoid people with 2-3 Monika's receiving double share..

Very intelligent idea...

Good one zaynie.

zaynie:




Great idea!
But remember also a new account can't receive any money until 6 months of active service

When u say 6 months of active service, do u mean NL generally or jst dis thread?

Thanks ma'am

Happy birthday Naomi14

ifyalways:
Having worked with Tehn and some NGO's offline, I suggest no bank accounts. The pros at this stage far outweighs the cons, bureaucracy,
Trust issues involved and all.

Let's keep it open here. You post your financial need here or to be discreet, email to Zaynie who will post here. Whoever is led to give will contact you directly or through a third party.

Some of us are old generation (me, myself and i) and are not on Facebook, Instagoom or whatsapp so ejor, updates on the activities here on nld is important.

Seconded @ no bank accounts.

Zanyie mama twale for u. Your idea is amazing. By the next time Buhari is choosing ministers, u will replace minister for women affair . God job dear.

I second the name mamas love corner

Hey, how is your baby now? I hope the temperature has come down with the pcm you gave earlier.

Ensure he is stripped down to just nappies or at most a short sleeves vest to cool him down

You could also use a damp cloth to wipe him down as well. And try and wait it out till morning.

If you dont see any improvement with the pcm or he gets progressively worse, please take him to the hospital as a precaution.

Pele!

AlphaHandMaiden has said it all. Just checking on you guys. It is well with Ilan and his dad

How's he doing now?
Has the temperature reduced?

How's baby Ilan this morning. Please take him to the hospital regardless of the temperature coming down.
Let them do testing to know why it went up in the first place. Even dh too should go. They will be fine! Take care eh
