I'm about to complete the application for an epassport and one of the questions is Nationality. I became a US citizen a few months ago and I'm assuming I am a Dual CItizen of both countries. What should I put there as my answer?

thxs

p.s can't i just mail the form and other information requested like i did when i wanted to re-new my old passport and just pay to have it mailed back to me? I believe the Atlanta office mailed my passport back to me

2 years ago the Lord decided it was time for you to go home. It was hard letting you go but who are we to fight God's will. As each day goes by, I miss you so so much and my heart still hurts. Your children miss you greatly. I agree that where you are now, there is no pain and you are with your first love, Jesus,  and also daddy; but if wishes could come true, I'd wish for both you and dad to be back here to enjoy the fruits of your labor, to enjoy your grandchildren both born and un-born. I wanted you to be there for when I had my first child, i wanted you to be there for so many many great things that have happened in my life and is still happening. You might not be here physically, but you are forever in my heart and i carry your memory with me wherever I go. I carry your laughter, your radiant joy, your beauty, and your dynamic presence with me all the time. I know you are watching over all 5 of us,  thank you for that mom. I love you with all my heart.

p.s. Your mom (our sweet wise granny) is being well looked after. This was  a promise I made to you and is being fulfilled. She misses you so much  too.
Your daughter,
Uche

Good morning everybody. May this week bring good news to all of us yearning for one  .
Today is CD 28 for me and still no sign of AF or signs of pregnancy. The only thing out of place is that i woke yesterday with a terrible stuffy nose and it has refused to go away no matter what i do.
I had a slight temp. dip this morning. I know the experts say if you have a spiked temp for at least 15 days or more after ovulation, you are 99% pregnant. Today was day 15 of my temp spike but it dipped ever so slightly so we'll see. I will not be using any HPTs until after CD 31 just in case my cycle has gone wack on me again and AF does indeed show up.

Baby dust to y'all! 

Hi, i'm not sure this is the right place to post this but here it goes!  I want to send a suitcase or 2 full of clothes to family members back in my village in time for the holidays/Christmas and i don't know the best way to go about it. Should i contact an airline that flies from the US to Abuja or what?. I'm based in South Jersey. Please if anybody has any ideas, kindly share!
Thank yous

pslm23,
As u were despoiled, I do not see that you comitted any sins.

Are ensuring that you baby dance near the time of your ovulation?

I'm pretty sure hubby and I are bd'ing on the right days up to the extent that my husband now feels like a piece of meat because of my obsession  with baby dancingonly at certain days of the month according to my OPK results. I use the MaybeMOM saliva testing microscope to predict my ovulation and it has always been right. I also chart my temperature and as of today CD 26, my temp is still spiking. usually around this time, my temp starts coming down.

Aladunni:
^^^ God does not punish for confessed and repented sins, so if you ave forgiven yourself then put your mind at rest and BELIEVE that faithful is he that has promised. Also if your doc is a good and reliable one who is passionate about his job and more importantly you, then follow her instructions strictly and then pick tips from this thread too and wait, it must surely come to you. Take your time to surf dis thread one page after the other, its actually loaded. Take care of yourself.

your words are true and i have long forgiven myself and the pervert who put me in that position in the first place. Like i said, i tot my childlessness was God's way of punishing me but i know better now.The doctors say i have secondary infertility but i reject that word with no known cause just that it isn't happening. Oh well,  today is CD 26 and still no sign that AF is coming or that i'm evening preggy. My body is just as it usually is when i'm not going through hormonal attacks. 
Baby sprinkles and dust to all of us!

For those that achieved pregnancies after trying for a while, what were the early early signs you had before you missed your AF? was there anything different you felt in your body?

For a while i've been following this thread like an addict and all the stories here are so touching and heartfelt. MyPeace, do not worry, your tears will be wiped away in due time. My motto is "When God says it shall happen, it shall and no man or weapon can stop it"
I've been married for 8 years and since then i've been ttc'ing. When I was 12 i was raped and it resulted in a pregnancy that i didn't even know i was carrying until i was almost 5 mths. I was staying with my paternal grandma in the village, who upon finding out, dragged me to some place to have it removed. That was 24 years ago and today I'm struggling to achieve a pregnancy. I've prayed, cried and begged God to forgive me if He is punishing me for this, my pastor tells me that our God is not a vengeful God and in His time alone I will concieve.
Each year that goes by, I fret becos my bilogical clock is ticking.
I have had 3 IUI's and nothing happened. I've been checked out from head to toe and I'm healthy with no blockages, no thyroid problems, my reproductive system is functioning very well. My husband has had his count checked out and his numbers are good and his swimmers excellent. So what cld the problem be?
Right now, I am just relaxing and believing God. I've decided not to spend so much money on IUI's anymore. My Ob/Gyn wants me to start on Clomid and she currently has me taking Prenatal Plus plus folic acid which i've been on for over a month. AF is dure tomorrow and so far, i'm not having any of the usual symptoms that signal her coming. who knows, she might not show her ugly head this month
In God's time it shall happen, this i believe and i want all women struggling to conceive to also believe this.

i remember when i use to make a living from facebook posting ads in usa cities before they introduced the phone verification stuff. we already have a site similar like cl available at nairalist.com .

I didn't know there was a site like CL in Naija! cool!  i have to go check it out and see what it's all about. Thanks for the info!

Most of you probably have heard of craigslist.org and some haven't.

Craigslist is like a trade by batter deal but with cash involved! In other words, if you have something like a car, furniture, clothing, books, jewelry, computer stuff, etc. that u no longer use but is still in good/fair condition, u post it on craigslist at a super affordable price and anybody interested will contact you and buy it.  There is even a section  for guys and gals looking for romance.

Ghana is the only West African country listed on craigslist and I think Nigeria should be too. Here's a link to the site:

http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites
http://craigslist.org/

So my question again is, do you think this site will be received well in Naija?

There's nothing wrong with it. My husband is 17 years older than me. We've been married 8 years and the love is still as strong as it was in the begining or even stronger sef!

Our society thinks it's alright for older men to marry younger girls but if an older woman tries it, she will be called "cougar, sugar mummy etc" Here in the USA, it is normal to see "cougars" everywhere with young men on their arm.

are you trying to say that her new job frowns upon pregnant women? wouldn't that be construed as discrimination? I do not think that anybody that responds to your post will give you the kind of response you are looking for because morally what u 2 r planning on doing is wrong. Think twice or more b4 doing this. If you guys didn't want this pregnancy, u shld have used protection.
Karma is a b-i-t-c-h so better be careful. The day will come when she really wants a child and she will be unable to have one.

mdsocks:
You have to consider, gene, food types and sometimes the climate might be a contributor to why Some Nigerian women can give birth at 40 and above years while some in other places cant,


just typing out loud!!!

do you think a gril born in Nigeria and raised there but moved to lets say the US as an adult will be affected by food and climate changes? I think so. I was told after I moved here that the beef and chicken here in the US has some kind of steroid in it. I was never a sickly child but a month after i got here i started suffering from all kinds of illnesses and at one times the doctors told me i was suffering from depression and put me on a weird mind altering medication that made me want to kill my husband. I go to buy chicken and the thighs are bigger than my own. So i asked around and was told that when the eggs hatch, the chicks are injected with steroids to make them grow faster

How come Nigerian / African women can get pregnant at age 40 and above and give birth easily without complications but in the US and other European countries, doctors tell women that after the age of 35 their chances of conceiving and carrying a child to full term slims down considerable?
My girlfriend just turned 36 and she's an emotional wreck becos she's been trying for over a year to get pregnant and it hasn't happened. Her doctor scared her even more by telling her that her chances are slim becos after 35 her eggs start depleting or something like that. Now she's considering going in for IUI or IVF if the IUI doesn't work.
I try to remind her that she is Nigerian and that her own mom had their youngest at 42. As far as I can remember women even in their late 40s back home have sucessfully carried belle and born the pickin no problem!

In this day and age parents should have learnt to butt out of their children's marriages. If your husband loves and listens to you, tell him your worries and how his mothers actions and attitude is affecting you and now your health. Let him be the one to talk to his mother and if that fails to work, next time she harrases you, just tell her to butt the hell out of your life and leave you and your husband alone. Change the damn locks on your door and lets see how she will get in when you guys are out!
You are still a new bride for crying out loud!! If she's like this now, i wonder how she was when you 2 were dating

these moderators sef! why did the change my word to "excrement"? that even sounds worse and dirtier than my innocent "s" word

Ok. I'm here to vent. I live in the US but right now I'm on edge becos of the terrible tragedy that one man is about to inflict on millions of Christians world wide by his purely selfish act of wanting to burn the Holy Quran on 9/11. I'm sure a lot of you have heard about this but has anybody really thought about what the outcome will be and the impact on Christians that live in volatile countries where there are muslim extremists?
The muslims do not joke with their Holy Book (remember the Gideon Akaluka saga ??). Now this man comes with his radical views and wants to stir the hornets nest!
I'm a Christian and I thank God I grew up in Nigeria because I learnt how to be tolerant of other religions and cultures. Some of my best friends today are from the Arab world. If this pastor goes ahead and does this dastardly deed, how many lives will be ruined? Does he not realize that not only is he signing his death warrant but that of other innocent Christians world wide?
Christians were'nt the only ones who died on 9/11. Muslims, Jews, Hindus etc. were affected too and I don't mean the useless muslim men that actually caused the tragedy but the men and women who were going about their daily lives when wahala came calling.
Nigerians be on your guard. If this sh*t goes down on Saturday, Christians will feel the wrath of the muslim world not just Americans.
Our religion teaches us Peace. This man is teaching hate! Because a group of people practice violence doesn't mean we have to do the same too or bring about something that will shed blood. He is ruining the true meaning of Christianity

googles:



i think you should just ignore her. . . . if she continues to taunt you without you responding she will realize her stupidity

if you do anything to her 'twill only bring you down to her level and trust me she will come stronger on you

its not the skin dat defines a person.

You are right, but it is easier said than done and it is so hard to ignore her stupid snickering behind my back. She thinks i don't know she and her cronies are whooping and giving each other high 5s becos they think they have won!  This morning she was all chirpy when i walked into the office and I just felt like wiping that smug look off her face!    I'm no trouble maker and I like to mind my own business but that doesn't mean that i will take any crap from anybody especially ignorant people like her. I'm praying that God stills my heart, mouth and hand! Amen

abi oh!  ignorance is a big sin!

Wow pslm23, that is some "growing up"!!

I was a wild child growing up. Spoilt to the core and ready to fight if i didn't get my way! I wanted to be a boy so bad becos i envied how my brothers used to play rough. My poor mom was constantly praying i would come out of that phase, i did, i'm no longer wild but i still wish i were a guy

[Some people even add "jara" to it by adding naughty person at the end Ashawo naughty person, ashawo kobo kobo . Where did this word even come from?
[quote][/quote]Just for the records, the moderator changed a word i wrote to 'naughty person" WTH is naughty person? the word i used something a fatherless child is called. The "b" word! What is so bad about the "B" word?
Now my post looks like that of a retarded person  with no meaning!

ok, i have heard this like a million times, 2 women or young girls fighting and the main name calling used is ASHAWO! why?? that word has been so over used that it no longer stings like it used to. I remember when growing up, calling me ashawo while we were fighting would result in me fighting like crazy. the end result would be bite marks, bloody lips, missing patches of hair etc.

I've even heard some mothers screat out "ASHAWO" to their daughters. Waz up with that? Some people even add "jara" to it by adding bastard at the end; Ashawo bastard, ashawo kobo kobo . Where did this word even come from?

I'm all for divorce. Domestic violence is getting out of control in Nigeria and around the world. Women are not punching bags for these spineless men. Any man that raises his hands to beat a woman is nothing but a COWARD
Divorce his sorry arse ojare!

I swear i have never laughed as much as I just did in my life. This thread is off the hook! kudos to the person who started it.

I remember right after i got married, my husband while cooking, cut himself pretty bad, and me being a typical Nigerian, immediately started saying "sorry sorry" . He looked at me like i was crazy and said "why the heck r u apologizing? u didn't cut me! and i told him, well, where i come from, if anybody hurts themselves, we always say "sorry" to them to help ease the pain! He then said, well here in America, we laugh our arses off! so now, even if he is bleeding to death I my butt off and keep my
