I have been to both university and polytechnic. put differently, I have both HND and Bsc certificates. Please dnt compare the two. If you attend a uni like UI, you won't think of comparing uni wit Iree poly where I had my HND. Brilliant professors, robust discussion in the class unlike poly where most people who thought me were poly graduates wit little or no exposure. Some of them didn't even proceed. Even when you have PHd grade in your Msc, your Hnd certificate will deny u dat grace to proceed with your Phd. Howvwer, what you become after becoming what you want to become that matters regardless of your degree.

Ogbeni, so u dey naira land? I don catch u. Lol

Ndi Anambra: I am sure this Amaechi media hype is for those of you who do not leave/stay in Rivers state. For those of us who who had been leaving here for over a decade and till date, we know what we pass through to power our homes with energy from our generators because there is nothing like improved power supply in Phc. We know what we pass through in the hands of government "touts" sticker guys who their activities stampede business growths in Rivers state. We know what we pass through when we drive through the roads and streets of woji and many other areas in Phc. We know what we pass through during rainy season in this state. The schools that were built are heavily under utilised, no chairs and no committed teachers. How can they be committed when the 13,000 teachers Rotimi employed are yet to receive their first salaries after over 4 months they were employed!!! You cant find teachers in the class rooms of Phc public schools on wednesdays, I mean the popular oil mill market days!!!! We know what we pass through during the rainy season in Obigbo and Iriebe areas in Port Harcourt. Rotimi, please stop and rethink!! You have not performed any wonder, no you have not!!! I have visited "poor" Enugu state and I can see the magic of sick Chime with no oil money. I have been to Uyo and I can see Akpabio magic. Not in Rivers, not by Rotimi Amaechi. God bless Nigeria!

Tpia or what is your name? But I said I only want matured/ married people to comment. You don't hav to remind me of availability of the info everywhere. Obviously u are still a kid. Don't worry ASUU ll soon call off the strike.

[quote author=Efemena_xy]Yeah, I remember your post.

Congratulations mami and papi!

In addition to all that's been said:

~ Make sure madam eats a healthy diet. Cut down on excessive sugary / fizzy drinks as it's all too easy to acquire pregnancy induced Diabetics. Make sure she eats a lot of fruits and vegetables

~ Avoid eating liver - it's excessively rich in vitamin A

In addition to that, if you can afford any of the below, encourage your madam to eat the following:

Carbohydrates - wholemeal (brown) bread, pasta, rice and cereals are better than white bread, cakes and biscuits

Fruit and vegetables - try to eat five portions a day, bearing in mind that the more colourful the fruit or vegetable, the more nutritious it is.

Protein - you can get the protein you need from meat, fish, eggs, pulses and beans.

Milk and milk products - these contain lots of calcium, which is important for bone development

Fat - try to get your fat intake from vegetable sources like olive oil, or oily fish like salmon, herring or mackerel


[i]Foods to be wary of, or better still, avoid them for the duration of her pregnancy:[/u]

~ Raw eggs and raw or undercooked meat or shellfish: These may contain salmonella or other organisms which can cause food poisoning

~ Unpasteurised dairy products, liver or liver pâté and leftovers: These foods can contain Listeria, which can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth.

~ Liver/liver products: These contain high levels of vitamin A, which may be harmful for a developing baby so should be avoided.

~ Vitamin supplements NOT labelled "For Use in Pregnancy": Vitamins and other supplements should only be used if it says on the container they are safe to use in pregnancy. This is because some vitamins, if taken at high levels, are extremely dangerous for the developing baby. It is important to take folic acid as mentioned earlier, so either buy this as a single supplement or buy a supplement designed specifically to be used in pregnancy.

~ Be careful with medication: Discuss any medication you're taking with your doctor, let the pharmacist know you're pregnant if you need any over-the-counter medicine. Even simple remedies like decongestant nasal sprays can contain ingredients that should not be used when pregnant.

~ Be aware of toxoplasmosis: Unwashed vegetables, undercooked meat and cat faeces carry the risk of toxoplasmosis – which can cause miscarriages, stillbirth or damage to your baby. So always wash fruit and vegetables, only eat thoroughly cooked meat and wear gloves when you're gardening or emptying cat litter trays.

Hope this helps and congrats once more!

*** I love reading happy stories on the Family Section - be sure to let us know when Junior arrives, make we follow una celebrate! ***

Thanks bro, I shall do just that.

Thank you my sister, I ll act accordingly. God bless you.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate. I ll keep you posted as the baby grows till my wife delivers. Lest I forget, madam is denying me access to 'SHOW' adding that until she sees the doctor for advice.lol. Whatever the situation, man is ready to sacrifice.

Hi nairalanders,i came on this forum to seek for your advice sometimes in October over the fact that sperm usually come out of my wife after ejaculating and some of you counselled me that there was no cause for alarm. God has done it! My wife went for preg test today after missing her period whc was suppose to come last sunday/monday and the result showed positive. The last time she saw her mestruation was 5th of Nov. My wife said she read it in everywoman that scanning canbe done in the third month to knw the sex of the baby. My question is at what stage can we see the doctor? Should we allow the pregnancy to clock one month or two months before doing so? In other words, what step is expected to be taken @ this early period of pregnancy?. Pls I need responses frm married/matured people in the house. We just married in Oct and we have no experience in this regards. Thanks.

My friend and I are currently preparing for a professional exam due to be taken in a couple of days and we have being arguing on one simple question. The question is: there are 8 organisational activities whc are performed to achieve organisational objective they are:
1 setting goals and objectives
2 making and implementing decisions
3 measuring results
4 hiring and developing staff
5 dealing with customers
6 negotiating wit financier and suppliers
7 producing the product
8 interacting with regulatory agencies
The question is how can I group these into daily, weekly,montly,occasional and annual activities? Eg hiring and developing staff- occasional. Thanks

Having been married only a year and a half, I've recently come to the conclusion that marriage isn't for me. Now before you start making assumptions, keep reading. I met my wife in high school when we were 15 years old. We were friends for ten years until…until we decided no longer wanted to be just friends. I strongly recommend that best friends fall in love. Good times will be had by all.
Nevertheless, falling in love with my best friend did not prevent me from having certain fears and anxieties about getting married. The nearer Kim and I approached the decision to marry, the more I was filled with a paralyzing fear. Was I ready? Was I making the right choice? Was Kim the right person to marry? Would she make me happy? Then, one fateful night, I shared these thoughts and concerns with my dad.

Perhaps each of us have moments in our lives when it feels like time slows down or the air becomes still and everything around us seems to draw in, marking that moment as one we will never forget.

My dad giving his response to my concerns was such a moment for me. With a knowing smile he said, “Seth, you’re being totally selfish. So I’m going to make this really simple: marriage isn't for you. You don’t marry to make yourself happy, you marry to make someone else happy. More than that, your marriage isn't for yourself, you’re marrying for a family. Not just for the in-laws and all of that nonsense, but for your future children. Who do you want to help you raise them? Who do you want to influence them? Marriage isn't for you. It’s not about you. Marriage is about the person you married.”

It was in that very moment that I knew that Kim was the right person to marry. I realized that I wanted to make her happy; to see her smile every day, to make her laugh every day. I wanted to be a part of her family, and my family wanted her to be a part of ours. And thinking back on all the times I had seen her play with my nieces, I knew that she was the one with whom I wanted to build our own family.

My father’s advice was both shocking and revealing. It went against the grain of today’s “Walmart philosophy”, which is if it doesn't make you happy, you can take it back and get a new one.

No, a true marriage (and true love) is never about you. It’s about the person you love—their wants, their needs, their hopes, and their dreams. Selfishness demands, “What’s in it for me?”, while Love asks, “What can I give?”

Some time ago, my wife showed me what it means to love selflessly. For many months, my heart had been hardening with a mixture of fear and resentment. Then, after the pressure had built up to where neither of us could stand it, emotions erupted. I was callous. I was selfish.


But instead of matching my selfishness, Kim did something beyond wonderful—she showed an outpouring of love. Laying aside all of the pain and anguish I had caused her, she lovingly took me in her arms and soothed my soul.


Marriage is about family.
I realized that I had forgotten my dad’s advice. While Kim’s side of the marriage had been to love me, my side of the marriage had become all about me. This awful realization brought me to tears, and I promised my wife that I would try to be better.

To all who are reading this article—married, almost married, single, or even the sworn bachelor or bachelorette—I want you to know that marriage isn't for you. No true relationship of love is for you. Love is about the person you love.

And, paradoxically, the more you truly love that person, the more love you receive. And not just from your significant other, but from their friends and their family and thousands of others you never would have met had your love remained self-centered.

Truly, love and marriage isn't for you. It’s for others.

Guys, what do you think? I really don't know if the "Dad" was right. Please share your thoughts.

You guys should stop trading words and argue intelligently. Moreover your school does not guarantee you automatic job. You will still compete with other graduates in the labour market whether you finished from Ife or Akungba Akoko!
