Looking for a post-partum girdle and all the ones I have come across just stop at or slightly above the belly button. Please, where in Lagos can I find one that stops under the bust?

I am a light sleeper and therefore find it difficult sleeping with noise. Although I have been coping for sometime with the noise, I have noticed that I am unable to sleep these days even with little noise. I am pregnant and the lack of sleep is really beginning to affect me negatively. I am therefore weighing the option of getting ear plugs. Unfortunately, I do not know where they are sold. Please can anyone tell me where I can purchase them in Lagos?

For treasury bills try ur bankers or any discount house, if you have any difficulty reach me on feelamong@gmail.com

x-fire:

How do I invest in treasury bills. Is it through the bank or through a stockbroker. Was is the mininimum amount that can be invested?

I would add "dialogue" to the list.

These guys are not arguing intelligently

This has taken a sectional direction. Most house of rep members from the south-south are supporting removal of subsidy

The comments made by some people on this topic is an indication of the level of ignorance about psychoactive substances (both the legal and illegal ones).

While one initially makes a choice to use/abuse these substances, once it becomes addictive, its use is usually impulsive and it can only take the grace of God for such a person to stop. There are a lot of reasons why someone could decide to use these substances. Some reasons are apparently valid while others are just completely unreasonable. However, it is inappropriate for anyone to be judgemental because you do not know the circumstances that led to abuse of the substance in the first instance. Another thing I want to point out is that why one person gets easily addicted to  and/or physically dependent on a substance and another person doesn't is determined by an individual's overall body make up.  Finally, I want to state that marijuana is highly addictive and has dire consequences if not stopped. For more information on marijuana, go to this link http://www.nida.nih.gov/PDF/InfoFacts/Marijuana.pdf

@LoveKing: I encourage you to go for rehabilitation. Go through the list of rehabilitation centres I posted earlier and choose a centre that suits you best. To add to what HISchild posted, research studies have shown that when spirituality (that is one's relationship with his maker)  is integrated into the rehabilitation process, the success rates are usually higher.  Note that it is spirituality, not religion or denomination. I wish you all the best in your effort to become drug free.

Desiring to stop is a good and important step. However, you need rehabilitation and the success of the rehabilitation process will be dependent on your motivation to stop. See a list of some substance abuse treatment/rehabilitation centres in Nigeria. The choice of centre would be dependent on your location, your finances, whether you have become physically dependent on marijuana or have psychotic problems. Considering that you put up this post yourself, I guess you have little or no psychotic problems and therefore may not need psychiatric evaluation. I will therefore recommend the centres that are not neuropsychiatric hospitals.

http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news/31355-my-agony-by-woman-who-lost-husband-five-children.html.

For the family of Williams Dike, Christmas was to be celebrated in a grand style – going by the preparations a week before the day. All was set for the family of seven – husband, wife and five children - to rejoice that another year was gradually coming to an end. They planned to start the day by thanking God in church and round it off with a family get-together.

It was never to be. All but the woman of the house were set for the 6:30 am mass to celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. She stayed behind when others were leaving to enable her perfect the celebration of the day. She bid them bye with a promise to be set for the second mass. And that was the last time she set her eyes on her family members.

All of them, except Mrs Dike, the woman of the house, were consumed in the Christmas bombings that ravaged the St. Theresa Catholic Church, Madalla, Niger State.

Mrs. Dike, who has cried herself to a state of stupor since Sunday, was a pitiable sight yesterday. Some family members brought her to the church when Governor Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu visited the church and victims of the blast.

She said: “I have lost my husband and my children. I have lost all. My life is empty and void. I don’t know where to go now. No husband and no child; where do I start my life? Somebody should tell me I am dreaming.”

Clad in a red and ox-blood skirt and blouse under a blue sweater, the Imo State-born housewife and mother of three boys and two girls spent the better part of the interview asking rhetorical questions. Nobody in the congregation, not even her husband’s relations could venture to answer her questions, because no one has answer for her.

When she was calm, our correspondent asked: “How did it happen?”

“My brother, I cannot say how it happened. My husband and my five children left home for early mass. I stayed behind to perfect preparation for Christmas celebration, only for me to hear a loud sound and when I inquired, I learnt it was a bomb blast in our church. I ran to the church and behold all I saw was my husband’s burnt car.

“I did not know what to do or who to ask about the whereabouts of my husband and children. All I recalled was that some people just came and carried me out of the church premises. I have been asking for my husband and my children, three boys and two girls, but nobody has been able to tell me where they are.

“Though I was told that my first son, Martins, is in Kubwa Hospital and Favour, his sister, is said to be at National Hospital in Abuja. The fact is I have not seen any of them since they left home on Sunday. Please, let the President and the Governor help me look for my family members,” Mrs Dike pleaded.

Surrounded by family members, the bereaved woman was pensive. She often burst into tears as she spoke.

“Where am I going to start from? I have no work, no husband, what is my future?” she asked her husband’s younger brothers who were with her.

When it was time to take her home, Mrs Dike, who had agreed to leave, suddenly stopped when she got to the spot where she found her husband’s burnt car. After a few seconds, she cried out in her local language, “Williams, ebee k’ino din. Darling, ebee k’ino” (Williams, where are you? Darling, where are you?). It took the persuasive power of her relations to move her off the spot.

This is terrible. What kind of life is this woman expected to live after this incident?

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to put up a comprehensive online resource centre on substance abuse with special reference to Nigeria. Please I would be very grateful if you could provide me with information on substance abuse treatment centres in Nigeria.

I have put together a few and the list can be found at http://roseazuike..com/p/treatment-centres.html. However, I know that this list is far from being comprehensive.

I look forward to receiving your responses.

Thank you
