This is weird

Scary

Busted

The White ascorbic acid tastes acidic with fairly medicinal smell but the orange ascorbic acid taste sweet with pleasant medicinal smell because colour, flavour and sweener was added to it to aid medication adherence in children and adult who detest the white vitamin c cos of the sour taste.

They are both efficacious.
They have the same strength.
They produce the same therapeutic result.


However, keep white ascorbic acid at home and it will linger, keep orange ascorbic acid at home and it will dissapear within a twinkle of an eye.
All thanks to sweetness and aroma.

The following conversation ensued between I and a scammer one day.


Scammer: have you heard about so so so and so flipping investment?

Me: No

Scammer : It's an investment that pays you double of what you invest in two hours. For example, if you pay 50k you get 100k. 100k, you get 200k and so on.

Me:Wow! Interesting.
But I'm penniless this era. What do I do?

Scammer: You can actually invest as low as 5k, after flipping you get 10k

Me: I still don't have.
But oga, since you are the pioneer of this great flipping investment, you must be a fat cat o.
Kindly help me invest 5k from your pocket please; when it yields in two hours keep your 5k and continue flipping for me with the amount yielded.

Scammer: It doesn't work that way.

Me: That means you are very wicked to help others even though you will recover your starting capital.

Scammer: Don't miss out this great opportunity.

Me: Cheap scammer.
I know your tactics.
I'm not daft.

I'm still awaiting the reply of the petty scammer till date.


Summary of it all:
Never allow greed to exhaust your effort to a bottomless pit in a bid to satisfy your needs; the end product is regret and anguish.

So many of them out there.
You need to be wise and smart.

So unfortunate

I was stranded in 2015 when I was traveling for NYSC from Abuja to Port Harcourt

We went through a long route from Abuja-Ajakuta to Enugu through Aba and arrived PH at 12 a.m

I wasn't having enough money to transport myself to my PPA but met a good Samaritan from Benue who accommodated me for the night in his house and provided breakfast the following morning

He was so nice that he gave me some money to transport myself to locate a nearby bank

His wife and child with his younger brother treated me as if I am one of their relative

After my NYSC , I got a job in PH and time to time I do pay them visit

Good people still exist in this country

Awwwn!
Lovely souls

Cooked beans while sleepy. I can't forget that day in a hurry. Prepped beans in my kitchen and laid on the bed to sleep. I was starving and sleepy at the same time and knew I'd have nightmares if I skipped dinner.


Not too long, my entire apartment was engulfed in smoke from the burning beans and I had no idea. I had not slept for two straight days over an exam I was preparing for and I had not the faintest idea what was happening in my kitchen.

My neighbours noticed the heavy smoke filtering from my apartment, banged on my door repeatedly, only for me to wake up drowsy, walked to the door and told them I was doing it on puporse, then went back to sleep!

My kitchen was near flames that day. I luckily got up later when the noise was much outside my apartment. My neighbours were staging a break in as they suspected all wasn't well. Strangely, I got up and went to the kitchen, put out the gas then went back to sleep.

I slept through the smoke, didn't choke or cough for a minute. I couldn't believe my eyes the next morning. The burnt beans was rock solid burnt in the pot that I had to throw the pot away.

Thank God for your life

This is wrong.
Oh no

Very disheartening

Happy to hear that.

Good move

I hope that's not the cause of the sudden mortality rate in Kano?

My mother irons my breast to make it flatten so that I will look unattractive to men - Mirabel
- April 21, 2020

Don't read this without sharing. The whole world and appropriate government bodies must know what is going on. Share on facebook, twitter, whatsApp and everywhere. For most children, their birthday is a time of celebration. But that was not the case for Mirabel when she turned 10.



For Mirabel, a Cameroonian refugee living in Nigeria, turning 10 marked the start of gruelling daily torture - having her breasts ironed with hot stones by her mother. Every morning, a neighbour from the refugee community where she lives in Ogoja, in Nigeria's southeastern Cross River State, holds her legs firmly in place while her mother takes a burning hot pestle straight from the fire and presses it against her daughter's chest in an attempt to flatten her breasts.

The procedure can be repeated for months, or even years, and is intended to either stop young girls developing breasts or to flatten them once they have. "It feels like they are placing real fire on my breasts," Mirabel says. "I have been in pain since the first day." Gender-based violence Her mother, Angela, says the pain and discomfort her daughter is enduring worries her less than the reports she has heard of teenage girls being sexually harassed or exploited by men. She is determined to focus her efforts on making her daughter less desirable to men. "I just don't want her to become a target of boys around her," says Angela. "I'm aware that many boys here like to chase after little girls."

Although many of the families we spoke to mentioned the vulnerability of young girls growing up as refugees as one of the reasons for their decision to iron their daughters' breasts, the practice has been happening in Cameroon for generations.



The origin of the practice is unclear, but about a quarter of women in Cameroon have undergone breast ironing, according to research by Gender Empowerment and Development (GeED), a non-governmental organisation based in Yaounde, Cameroon, which found that in nearly 60 percent of cases, the procedure is carried out by mothers.

The United Nations has described breast ironing as one of the most under-reported crimes associated with gender-based violence. It is thought to affect 3.8 million women globally. 'No girl is safe here' Like many other refugees in Cross River State, Mirabel and Angela fled the southwestern Cameroonian town of Akwaya for Nigeria after fighting broke out between government forces and English-speaking separatists who complain that they have been marginalised in the majority French-speaking country.

The conflict has forced some 500,000 people from their homes and created a humanitarian crisis in the region.

According to the latest figures from the UN refugee agency (UNHCR), Nigeria currently hosts more than 50,000 refugees from Cameroon, with 70 percent of these in Cross River State. Roughly half the refugees live in one of four refugee settlements, while the rest live in host communities.



Angela and her daughter arrived in Ogoja in February 2018, joining thousands of other refugees taking shelter in the Adagom and Okende host communities where women and girls have reported being sexually harassed by members of the host communities as well as by other refugees.

"These days, you cannot step out of the house without meeting a man who is demanding sex or inviting you to his home," says Queen, a 17-year-old girl who fled the southwestern Cameroonian border town of Mamfe with her parents for Adagom. "No girl is safe here." More than 12 Cameroonian girls living in settlements in Adagom and Okende told our news men that they are regularly sexually harassed by men.



"I needed money to buy sanitary pads, so I went to ask a man [in the community] for help but he started touching me as soon as I walked up to him," says Lydia, a 16-year-old girl who lives in the Adagom refugee settlement. "I ran away as he tried to drag me to him."



Worried about the safety of their 13-year-old daughter, Helen and her husband made the decision to iron her breasts after she reported that a man whose home she cleans regularly touched her inappropriately. "The harassment she faced made our decision [to iron her breasts] easier," explains Helen, who fled Akwaya and lives in the Okende host community with her family. "All we did was for her own good." But, Salome Gambo, a senior protection specialist at the Caprecon Development and Peace Initiative, which is based in Abuja but works on child protection in refugee camps across northeast Nigeria, says: "This practice just ends up harming children and putting them at risk of severe complications. Families should rather channel their efforts towards educating their daughters on sex issues." 'Survival sex' The refugee families' fears for their daughters are not unfounded. Female refugees and displaced people in Nigeria are at high risk of sexual harassment and exploitation. The UN has said it is aware of a high level of "survival sex" - women turning to prostitution out of desperation - in camps housing Cameroonian refugees in Cross River State.



UNHCR spokesman William Spindler said: "For women, the lack of work combined with the over-stretched reception facilities, creates a higher risk of sexual and gender-based violence, particularly from survival sex. So far, only a limited number of such cases have been recorded, mainly in the Amana community of Cross River state. However, UNHCR is concerned that many more incidents go unreported or are referred only to community elders." But even in their home country, Cameroonian girls are at risk of early marriage and pregnancy. According to UNICEF, in the period between 2008 and 2014, 13 percent of Cameroonian children were married by the time they are 15 and 38 percent by the time they were 18. According to the Cameroon Medical Council, 25 percent of pregnancies occur in school-age girls, and 20 percent of pregnant girls do not return to school.



Many Cameroonian families may fear that living as refugees adds an element of danger for their daughters. But for others, breast ironing is a matter of societal expectation. "It felt like I was the only one left out," says Pamela, whose two closest friends had ironed their daughters' breasts. "I just had to do it like the others did." But whether it takes place in Cameroon or refugee communities elsewhere, activists have been warning of the consequences for the victims' physical and psychological health.



"Girls who undergo the procedure risk issues like breast cancer, cysts and an inability to breastfeed, not to mention the physical and psychological scars associated with the custom," said Gambo, who has counselled a number of victims of the practice. "It's time families put an end to such abuse." What is your opinion on this? Is it right for a mother to iron her daughter's breast just to make her unattractive to men?
