Isuikwuato. Pls tell me you are my nwanneukwu

hunniesuzie:
Same process as Oha. But it takes a little more palm oil. Soonest has given us recipe with egusi sef. I go try am next time

Igbo style okazi has a thickner, okazi is only the leaf added but in akwa ibom style, pounded okazi (afang) and waterleaf are the major ingredient and thickner.
I have a picture of my afang (akwaibom style) but it's dark.

belladsweet:
Wow will love to learn ofe onugbu too. So many delicacy...Dh and him people go hear am them go lick hand tire when they come visiting...

Ok if you can look up floraEC recipe for oha soup It's basically the same thing. Only that there won't be uziza and oha instead you put your well washed bitterleaf. Bitterleaf washed the igbo way i.e no shreding, the leaves will be long long.
For finger licking ofe onugbu, use ede (cocoyam) as thickner instead of achi, ofo or ukpo and of course with adequate ogili igbo, the smellier the better.

FloraEC:
Aqua Rapha Mbaka. So this water still dy

Hahahha. Yes o! Our one and only aqua rapha

belladsweet:
Wow. Can i also use bitterleaf for this?

I have never tried bitterleaf, but then it will be ofe onugbu and no longer ofe okazi.

I have many recipe but no pix to go
Nkwobi, fio fio, okpa and achicha na akidi

Ofe okazi na akpurakpu egusi (okazi soup with moulded egusi)
This soup is native to igbos of abia origin.
Ingredients:
Beef, kpomo, okporoko, dry fish, crayfish,
Achi(100naira worth)
Egusi 3 cups
Osu 50naira
Okazi 200 naira worth, thinly sliced.
Achara (optional) 200 naira worth
Oil, salt, knorr cubes
Method:
1. Boil the okporoko, kpomo, beef etc till tender
2. For the moulded egusi, i used 2 cups out of the blended egusi mixed with the osu, little maggi and little pepper. Put d mixture in a tray and mould, add little warm water at a time till oil starts coming out and d consistency is like a dough. Cut into tiny flattened bits and put in avpot of boiling water. Cook for like 20mins and set aside.
3. In your meat stock, add oil, salt and seasoning cube.
4. Mix your achi, remaining egusi, dry pepper and crayfish in a bowl and gradually sprinkle this into the boiling stock. In this way, it wont form lumps.
5. Check the consistency and add water if necessary( shouldn’t Be As Thick As That Of Bitterleaf Soup).
6. Add the achara and the cooked moulded egusi. Cook for 5mins
7. Add the shreaded okazi, 2mins and the soup is ready.
8. You can add perinwinkle if you wish when you are adding achara.
NB:
Achi thickens as it's cooling down so be careful with the consistency while its cooking.
My measurement is for a big pot of soup for refrigerating.

This is what you get for killing innocent babies.
Heartless murderer.

Together with the man that impregnated her and her family too.

Acidosis has said it all. Hardly will you find a couple with the same sexual drive, more often than none, it's adjustment and compromise from both sides that work.
Op, your wife has low sex drive, it could be hormonal or psychological. If in happy times shes like this and you swear she enjoys it when you both get down then it's likely hormonal. I dont know the solution to this, probably supplements for women's sexual health. What i do know for sure is you will need patience, lots of it. She may not really change after all said and done but you will both settle for a compromise and the situation wont be as painful as it is to you now. Some days will be better and few days bad. We all have the cross we carry in our individual marriages. I wish you the best.

Thank you sir. I guess this is the price of the steering box.

GAZZUZZ:
it is leaking. 3 possible leak locations

Steering rack

Pressure hose

Power steering pump.

Thank you very much. The mechanic today said i will have to change the steering box that it's where the leakage is. Pls does some leakages warrant changing the entire steering box?

MamaDG:
Please my baby has refused to crawl at 7months+ and some mothers advised me to bath him with Epsom salt to reduce his weight that his weight has been hindering him from crawling. He weighed 9kg at 6months. He can raise his chest with his two hands but to raise his hips up is where the issue is. He doesn't make attempt to pick anything outside his reach no matter how beautiful the toy is but he is very good on his walker. he is a very gentle and lovely boy. People's advice got me thinking because I don't really see any problem with his growth until they called my attention to it.

Jesu! Pls don't try the advice, he's okay the way he is. He will crawl when he's ready. Is he sitting?

Bloomingbud:
Hello ma'am, please I'll like to know if salbutamol tabs does same thing as Ventolin? My doc placed me on Ventolin tab 3x daily since 24 weeks and didn't tell me when I'll stop it.

Yes it's the same thing. Each antenatal visit, remind him you are still taking the ventolin. He will gradually stop it. Cheers

zimunachimdi:
Thanks so much ma. but I was wondering what if i dont need it. maybe the bracton hicks is normal and the abdominal pain might be a result of stress and some bending down i did cos i dont think i am having any pre term contraction .what do you think ma? sorry for the much questions.

mummy thotianna,thanks for the response ma. sorry to ask,what reason made you took it?

Braxton Hicks is normal and shouldn't get painful, progressive or become regular. As a second time mum, you have some experience, if you feel it was just a one off contraction/pain you may not really need it. Stress, full bladder and thirst can make BH more intense. Take care

zimunachimdi:
mummy soonest and others mamas should pls help me out on this drug-salbutamol(i Hope i got the spelling right). i complained of abdominal pain and an uncomfortable bracton hicks which made the Dr to give me the drugs. according to her,she said let baby develop well before finding its way out. how safe is the drug pls?

pls no waka and pass oo.

It's safe nne. Salbutamol is a tocolytic as well. That is it relaxes the uterus. It's used in cases of preterm contraction, to stop it. It's safe ok. Cheers

My steering fluid keeps getting short and my steering is now noisy, what could be wrong.

Luvinhubby good day. Pls can you help me with the price of steering box/steering pump for 2006 discussion continues. Thank you

Zaynie, thank God Atinuke is better.

Enque, Happy birthday to beautiful Zara and many happy returns.

Zaynie, i call for semo

Eminya:
My DD's pcv is 26%, I feel so sad. She may be admitted this evening when we go back to the hospital.
Thanks Mummy Ekene

Yes they are likely to admit her. Dont feel sad okay. She will be alright. Thank God it was noticed on time. The doctors know what to do and her pcv will come up. Cheers

Eminya:
Pls mama's what's the normal pcv percentage for an 8 weeks old Baby.

I also need to know about widal test in babies.
cc: Zaynie liftedhands soonest queensnow and all sabi mama's online.

Google says it shouldnt fall below 35%. My first son's pcv was 30% in about 8weeks or thereabout but since there was no clinical sign, the paediatrician placed him on syrup astyfer.

Then for widal, i'm wondering why widal should be carried out on a baby this young? Typhoid? Typhoid is over diagnosed in Nigeria. Pls work with your doctor, this is just my personal feeling. Cheers

4realwoman:
i am yet to feel baby kick cos we are 13weeks n 4days today n the drugs is just for IPT (preventive). Thank you.

Since it's just for ipt, pose the question to him and hear what his explanations will be

Roseey0:
This is what the private clinic I registered with at first said too. But after I clocked 12weeks and registered with the teaching hospital. The Doc i met at my first Antenatal visit who obviously looked very experienced, didn't waste time to prescribe one drug (forgotten the name). He said it was safe even for first trimester, that one must not wait till you feel kicks to treat. I didn't even waste time to take it. I had terrible MS which I suspected that malaria was the major cause. Immediately I started taking the drug, I felt total relief like 2nd trimester should be.

Malaria test result I did with the private clinic showed ++ my PCV that was 38 was down to 33 and they were still telling me to wait till I feel kicks.

4realwoman
Just work with your Doc. If it is a private hospital, ask the pharmacist before you go.

In your case you were almost down with malaria (++). Malaria or suspected malaria in preg must be treated regardless of the trimester. But for IPT (preventive), the benchmark is after 16weeks. But then there's no absolute in medicine.

My first experience at motherhood
1. Epidural - No
2. Father in room - where i see am
3. Induced - No
4. Stitched - yes, episiotomy
5. Knew gender before hand - yes from scan
6. Due date - 16/10/2011
7. Birth date - 5/10/2011
8. Morning sickness - very minimal during my first trimester 
9. Cravings - 'madam 1' amala and okro soup
10. Pounds gained- 9kg
11. Gender of the baby - boy 
12. Place of birth - UBTH
13. Hours in labour - 7hours
14. Weight - 2.6kg
Age now - 6years plus

Zaynie, pls how does the cooking stuff work? Is it just recipe or recipe and pix. Pls explain better

Happy birthday Ekene bobo, many happy years ahead.

4realwoman:
Good day great mamas in the house.
Please i have questions
1. Can i take malaria drug at 15weeks because that is when i will be saying my Dr next.
2. Which one is safe to take btw Fansidar and chloroquine

Thank you.
Cc: Zaynie, Soonest and all sabi mamas in the house.

Have you started feeling your baby move?
Are you down with malaria or is it for IPT?
Chloroquine is safe in all trimester and fansidar is safe from second trimester. Fansidar is more used for IPT.
The usual practice is to take when you have started feeling baby movement(16weeks upward) except you are already down with malaria.
