I have been using fresh tumeric in food before it became popular. I used it quite a lot in sauces. The day I tried the powder, I hated the food. The powdered taste is very different from the fresh one. You must have used other spices in overwhelmingly quantity before I can eat the food.

Mariangeles:
What food did you use it in?
You probably went with the hype and used too much.

When it comes to tumeric, a little goes a long way because it's got this herby smell that is not too pleasant, and its colour can be strong.
A hint of it can give a beautiful colour to your foods without imposing its flavour. Including eggs.

Dry herbs and spices usually have different aroma compared to when they're fresh.
I like them dry.
I don't like the smell of fresh turmeric.

Are you picky when it comes to food? You seem so.

Buhari can as well bomb us to death.

The first time I used tumeric powder in food, I binned the food.

With herbs and spices, if it is not fresh it can't be better.

Mariangeles:
You can use tumeric for your yellow rice (turmeric rice), Nigerian fried rice, fresh tomato jellof rice (not party jollof).

For your rice, use dried powdered one (the aroma smells better) and use it sparingly too because a little goes a long way.

Nigerians can be classisst sha

Old age + desperation. Agba ti n de.

I disagree. People are not stupid. Modern day is beginning to take esteem issue way too far with the excuses.

Everyone has one or two things they are insecure about. It doesn't mean we are not going to use our God given brain to undergo BBL in Nigeria.

Mariangeles:
How insensitive.
If only you know how she felt on the inside...

Nobody who feels good about themselves will risk that sh!t.

I am happy for him . It was a long battle to get this win.

By norm, do you mean that 1 in 10 Zimbabweans has cut off a big toe?

35k monthly but about to buy a land in this Buhari economy

This is either not the full story or you have a bad wife.

That is not the only reason for bleaching but it is a very good reason to stay off bleaching

Enskynelson:
The difference I mean is, are they not all signs of low self esteem? The only reason I will ever take for someone not to bleach is if it will affect your health. Every other reason seems weak as most people are guilty.

A massive difference. You can always take those off and unless you are buying from an unregulated market, they don't have a long term effect on health.

Enskynelson:
But what is the difference between them and those that fix nails, fix eye lashes, fix bum, wear high heels, wear wigs? They all belong to the same category and that means virtually all women have low self esteem.

Bleaching is not a way of correcting sun effect. Good gracious, that is not what goes on their minds. There are a million documentaries on bleaching, there are people we know that bleach. Their reasons are everything we suspect minus sun effect.

Babies don't retain their natural colours even in the abroad. They get darker as they grow older.

Enskynelson:
Bleaching: Another Perspective

I am a lover of naturalness and I advocate seriously against skin bleaching. But a perspective people are missing is this. Many Africans were not born 'that black.' Many when they were born were fair-skinned until the Sun came and turned Mary into black Maria; the once-fair skin became charcoal overtime and before you know it, we have nothing natural left of our colour. At this point, all people remember about your God-given colour is the Sun-flaked skin and your shaded look forgetting your God-given colour is the one you were born with.

The truth of the matter is, a naturally dark skin can be good and enviable if kept away from the harsh rays of the Sun because it is a very delicate part of the body. My little exposition should help all those criticizing bleaching just because they feel it is a way of not being contended or proud of your 'natural look', because there is nothing natural about a Sun-burnt skin afteral. Remember, a child when born is not this black in Africa and if we were to grow under a more conducive weather, many will not think of bleaching.


All I see about most reasons from anti-bleaching advocates is hypocrisy. And here are the reasons. You first of all ignorantly call a Sun-shaded skin ‘natural’ and it doesn’t just end there. You claim they are not proud of their natural colour, yet you fix hairs, eyes lashes, fix eyeballs, fix bums, and you do make-up that make you look unnatural. Bleaching, toning etc could be a way of correcting the effect of the Sun on the skin and reverting it back to the natural way but what’s up with scraping all your eyebrows and using eye pencil to draw a line, what are you trying to make natural with your outrageous makeup? What is natural about the hair and nails you fix?


My suggestion is that, instead of just standing up to criticize bleaching all because it makes you feel people are not proud of their 'natural' colour, please do more research so that we can prevent more babies from being blackened by the tropical Sun.

Finally, for all of you bleaching guys, you better start sharing this on your wall and Whatsapp groups. At least, I have finally given you a reason to beat many blasting you for this.

Please let them continue o. Let all of them continue.

What was she expectibg when she married him?

@onojaintegrity,

I hope you suffer agonising death and rot in hell. You are very stupid to be writing lame propaganda for Yahya Bello. Poverty stricken beggar!

Have you ruled out postpartum mental health issues?

Why will you use everything when you could have just gone to the hospital?

Cakkie:
Pls what should be urgently done, ma. I've tried my possible best and used everything within my reach?

Cakkie

You are going to ruin your life and you will wonder why you didn't go to a teaching hospital sooner.

He can walk away from it. There are people who have walked away from that life forever. It is difficult and statistically the odds are against him but he can do it.

Calibrator:
He is only taking on the appearance of someone who wants better because he is broke.... Let him lay his hand on a little wads of cash and see he revert back to his old lifestyle.



Habits and lifestyle patterns especially rough street vibes coupled with the use of drugs are not things a person can ever walk away from.... Unless they are opportune to leave the country and gain a whole new level of exposure.


This is why I am eternally grateful for the fact that though I am street through and through, I don't drink, smoke or take drugs.... It is quite easy for me to blend in with cultured and posh crowd even at that, one minute everywhere burst, the street vibes will come up to the surface.


Realty can often be disappointing!

A skill. If he ants to got to school, he can get himself through it with support and encouragement from you.

Where do you live?

GENES11S:
I no go lie u, the thing pain me wela. Worst of it was that some Muslims in my area where rejoicing about it. If you think you are angry seeing people online supporting the murder, wait till you see them face to face boasting about it.

I just try to focus on those of them condemning it and calm myself down so I don't go towards evil part.

I hope one day we all will understand that we share humanity together. Humanity should come before religion and ethnicity.

How thoughtful

White or stewed.

I can't bear onions and tomatoes.

Her decision to stay doesn't make her a better woman than the women that left.

Frankly, she is not doing her children any good. This is the point she will have to choose herself and her kids or her marriage.

pharmaking:
I had a family friend ( my father's age grade) some years ago.

He was doing well at work until the addiction became worse.

His wife and daughters would hide alcohol he brought home, yet he would search and locate them.
He was fired from work.

On many occasions, he boarded bikes to come to joints and look for alcohol with just boxer short on, I mean shirtless.

The wife stayed of course, u know our mothers, she was determined to raise her kids and make them useful in life.

Someone said they used his hobby (that is drinking) to destroy him, village people side of the matter.

Today, he is very dead.The children are settled and doing well.

I don't know what to tell u, but if u are staying, that road is promisingly rough, make I no lie u.

I met that man myself one afternoon walking aimlessly and shirtless.So when my friends said they sighted him shirtless, I believed them.

If u are staying, u need to be ready to spiritually fight it.

Kai, I wish you well o.Your kind of woman is not common again.

What I read hear every time is women giving their husbands ache.

Rarely see the one that wants to make marriage work.

God will strengthen you madam.

Augustwife

You can't force treatment. It is a decision he will need to make for himself. No one can make him change. It is his choice to make.

Your responsibility is to support him but at what cost? Your financial stability? Influence on your kids because you can't say until they are older if they are going to turn out like him or sit up and want different? Your future?

It is your decision to make.

Kobojunkie:
Your husband has an addiction problem and you have to have him checked into rehab so he can get treatment he needs for his addiction?

No amount of starvation-dieting, what you all call fasting, will fix your husband or your marriage. Alcohol addiction is a behavioral problem which indicates a mental illness so send him to get treatment for what ails him while you work towards getting your own mental healed.

You look at the Western countries and you still believe what you have written?

I am not condemning the Catholic church. Religion or churches shouldn't have to fundamentally change for people when they go into the church.

Vinnie2000:
Hehehe! This is funny!
The Catholic church will even be the Lastman standing!.
These teenagers wearing Rugged jeans, short gowns, doing dreadlocks, spraying dier Hair and going to Pentecostal churches will EVENTUALLY CRASH THOSE CHURCHES!
You cannot expand God's kingdom with Unrighteousness and waywardness!

The Catholic church won't survive if it doesn't adapt.

Omo ale

Lmao. How do you see yourself and people in authority?

remigreat:
My advice is try and be diplomatic about it because he might actually be testing your patience. Who knows he might be a good boss tomorrow who could recommend you to higher positions. Don't let the event of today becloud your chances of meeting a destiny helper. My 2 cents bro

At what cost? Sounds like the traders lost a lot more than the bike riders.

Puskas:
Aboki and their reckless driving have caused the death of the pregnant woman. But Igbo guys gave it to them hot hot. Aboki thinks this is mile 2 where they chase away their hosts to Benin Republic IDP
