Jokes Etc / Naija Policeman And Dog Encounter by truehope: 4:37pm On Feb 27, 2015
SUNDAY LAUGHTER...***
I was driving down a street along Alausa, having just finished answering a call, when a policeman, suddenly, opened the passenger door, entered and jam-locked it.
(The door lock is faulty)
As usual, he wanted 'something' from me for calling while driving...
Suddenly, he saw the big Rothweiller dog, Jackie, at the back seat of the car, with tongue stuck out, spittle dripping and fangs barring, staring fiercely at him.

Policeman: (Shaking)
Ah! You carry dog?

Me: (I bone face) Yes, I carry dog. Dat one na offense?

Policeman: (Feeling uncomfortable)
Na where una dey come from?

Me: From hospital.

Policeman: Ehen! you sick?

Me: No, na person wey the dog bite we go see. The person almost die sef.

Policeman: (Terribly shaken by now)
Ehen! But why the dog dey shake head like that?

Me: Na so im dey do if e wan bite person.

Me: Yes nah, no be my dog?

Policeman: (Sweating)
This your door, how you dey open am?

Me: How you take enter?

Policeman: Abeg! Na since I dey try open am, but e no open.
(The dog was now getting impatient and gave a small growl, its tongue almost touching the policeman's left ear).

Policeman: (Now sliding forward)Oga, I take God beg you, open the door for me make I comot. I no go collect anythin from you.

Me: How much you go pay me?

Policeman: Ah! I neva hustle anythin since morning. Na only N1,000 dey wit me.

(I looked back at the dog).

Policeman: Ok ok ok ok ok, e reach N2,000. The oda N1,000 na my wife own, but I go give you join.
(Now, close to tears as the dog was becoming really impatient)
Oga, I be......g, Oga, sorry. Take the N2,000 make you open the door plssssssse!

Me: Oya, bring am. (I collected the N2,000 & allowed him out of the car)

Policeman: God punish you. Idiot, e no go ever better for you and your yeye dog. Wicked man!!!

Culture / Re: Is This What Happens At Nigerian Bridal Showers? by truehope: 12:57pm On Jan 07, 2015
Naijasinglegirl:
In my course of 'blogwhoring' some entertainment and fashions blogs, the images I see from bridal shower events aroused my curiosity.
Photos of happy ladies holding pink balloons, wearing crowns, blushes, cakes etc.

It seems this western trend has become an important segment in the series of Nigerian pre-wedding events.

Last year, my colleague that was about to tie the knot kept pestering one of her 'daddies' for money to host her bridal shower party.
I thought this was the responsibility of the groom-to-be? Or maybe the groom-to-be is not into western culture? Or the bride didn't want to feel left out?
She made it look like a do or die event.

I had questions to ask but I didn't want to come across as jealous so I had to keep my mouth shut.






A few weeks ago, a friend told me to accompany her to the market to buy items she needed for her bridal shower party. When we got there, I was surprised to see her buying egusi, vegetable leaves, palm oil, goat meat etc. Why would she be buying stuffs like that when this was more of a western thing? I needed to be at the party to see things for myself but alas, I wasn't invited.

The only solution to satisfy this curiosity was to gate crash a random bridal shower since NSG friends/colleagues didn't deem her worthy enough to send an IV.

Finally, I had the opportunity last weekend. I went for a book launch in a hotel and on getting inside, some ladies dressed in skimpy clothes walked past me with balloons to the left wing of the hotel.

I didn't know when I aborted my initial mission and followed them.

''You are here for Esther's bridal shower right?'' one of them asked me.
'
'Yes'' I replied

I couldn't believe my luck.

I was led to one of the mini-suites where I met about 18 other unfamiliar faces including the bride. I had to act cool to avoid suspicion.

The bride-to-be was looking more like a widow than a bride and she wore her crown like it was a crown of thorns.
It was more like she was forced to host the party.

Other females were dressed in bum shorts with the exception of me, the uninvited guest.
I sat at the far end of the king-sized bed looking like an election observer.

The party better be worth it, I prayed silently.

Forty minutes gone and the party was yet to start. I was getting impatient! Were these people awaiting the arrival of Toke Makinwa or what?

Every time I made a decision to leave, the party inviting cake seemed to tell me 'loser, don't you want a bite of me? and then I'd find myself replying ''ok, ten more minutes."

Finally, the MC, one slim girl with the driest sense of humour arrived.

The first thing she said was ''Because your name is Esther and you are bleached does not make you established.''

All the bush girls were laughing hysterically at this 1967 joke except me. (These girls need to read my blog. Lol)

She continued cracking more dry jokes.

The only thing that made me laugh with them was the MC's face. Her hideous makeup was funnier than her jokes.

Afterwards, we were called out one after the other to give a one minute speech about the bride. I was the first and the MC refused to take no for an answer.

''Esther is a good and nice girl, she's getting married and I'm so happy for her'' I blurted out ignorantly.

At least I got her name right, thanks to the girls I followed in.
Afterwards, we were called out for truth&dare game. Me, being the first once again.

I was dared to call my boyfriend on speaker to tell him I miss kissing him.

I just stood in front of all them scrolling my contacts. I saw my daddy's number, I saw my friends boyfriends numbers, I saw my brothers number. I got to letter Z and no boyfriend number.

Then it hit me! I am Naija Single Girl without a boyfriend. I didn't have the strength to explain that to these daughters of Eve so I hurriedly dropped my N1000 fine. Literally, society charged me for being single. *sobs*

After the other girls had played the game, it was time for refreshment.

One of the girls started sharing hot coke and cabin biscuit of all things.

See, I don't know about you reading this but the amount of cabin biscuits I ate while in primary and secondary school are not less than 3781 pieces (yup! I kept count).

''Is this all you have?'' I asked the girl that handed me the biscuits with boiled coke.

''Ehen'' she rudely replied

''What of that cake over there?''

''We are not cutting it! Its for the wedding!!''
I was pissing her off already.

Huh? What were these yahoo girls telling me? So the cake was a scam too? It was just a decoration in the room??

You broke Nigerian girls need to chill!

Bridal shower is not by force!

The pain I felt was so painful. Lol

The hot coke was beginning to burn my throat. Before I could think of a way to 'steal' my N1000 back from the truth & dare container, the sad looking bride-to-be had already pocketed it.

Literally, I was the chief sponsor of the cabin biscuit and these minions won't even give me my change which amounted up to N590.

They were no male strippers like it happens abroad, just some a-cups girls on low cut dancing azonto while we cracked our cabin biscuit.

I regretted not going for the book launch.

Is this what happens in a Nigerian bridal shower or did I miss my way?

Family / How To Protect Your Children From Sexual Abuse During This Christmas Season by truehope: 2:47pm On Dec 12, 2012
How to Protect Your Children from Sexual Abuse during this Christmas Season

‘Strangers are not the greatest danger to your children so parents protect your child from child sexual abuse’
As a parent, it's natural to worry about your kids. After all, you want to protect them from the evils of the world. Chief among those evils is sexual abuse. But, how can you talk to your kids about safety without scaring them to death? And what's the best way to protect them from sexual predators?
We have seen cases in which children have been sexually assaulted every day. From big, shocking, headline-making scandals like the one fueled by Cynthia Osukogu’s painful demise to the one-off incidents in which teachers, coaches, and other trusted adults take advantage of innocent children. We gasp and are outraged, but most of all we worry what if that was our child.
More importantly, however, we must ask what we can do to lessen the odds that our children will be victims. While there are no guarantees that we can we can keep them safe, there are some steps we can take to help do so
The festive season is a time of celebration and sharing of good times with family and friends. There might be more parties, more friends and more family in your home. You might be traveling and staying with people you do not see every day.
The down side of this wonderful time of year is that the risk for child sexual abuse increases. Children love the Christmas season. So do child predators. Many parents relax their vigilance during the festive season, routines change and children are allowed more freedom of movement. Add to this a greater exposure to (sometimes) little known family and friends and adults who tend to consume more alcohol and it makes for an ideal hunting ground for sexual predators looking for child victims.
Statistics say that up to 90 percent of child sexual abuse is perpetrated by family members or family friends. How do you protect your little ones during this time of greater risk, without spoiling anybody’s festive fun?
The first step is to be aware of the added danger. By being awake and watchful (you do not have to be paranoid) you can often prevent bad things from happening. Keep an eye on your kids during festivities. Know where they are and who they are with. Remember, just because somebody is dressed as Santa, doesn’t mean he/she is safe! Talk often with your child and set a tone of openness. Talking openly and directly will let your child know that it’s okay to talk to you when they have questions. If your child comes to you with concerns or questions, make time to listen and talk to them.
Trust your instincts when it comes to friends and family. If somebody makes you feel uncomfortable in his/her actions or words towards children, do not let him/her spend any time alone with the kids. The same goes for anybody with a reputation for inappropriate behavior towards kids. Abusers almost never stop abusing kids without help.
Remember older children can also sexually abuse little ones. Keep an eye on teenagers who want to spend all of their time with little kids. Most sexual abuse happens when there is one on one contact between the abuser and the child. By limiting the time your child spends with adults and older children to people you really trust, you can decrease the risk of abuse.
Teach your child key safety principles. For instance:
• Teach children the names of their body parts so that they have the language to ask questions and express concerns about those body parts.
• If your child is uncomfortable or if someone is touching them, s/he should tell a trusted adult immediately.
• Let your children know that if someone is touching them or talking to them in ways that make them uncomfortable that it shouldn’t stay a secret.
Limit the amount of alcohol that is consumed when there are children around. Many cases of child sexual abuse happen when the adults responsible for looking after the children are drunk. Parties like that are not appropriate for children.
Speak to your kids about personal safety. This can be done in a way that is not frightening to kids at all. Teach them to trust and develop their instincts by not insisting that they kiss and hug adults that make them feel uncomfortable. Speak up for them if you see somebody acting inappropriate. I know this can sometimes cause offence, but people who value your child’s safety will understand. Enjoy the festive season, but remember that kids cannot keep themselves safe. That’s your job.
Your child should know that s/he has the right to speak up if they are uncomfortable, or if someone is touching them. It’s okay to say “no” even to adults they know and family members. Try and monitor your child's online friends but do it with respect.
Educate yourself about the warning signs of childhood sexual abuse. Know what to look for, and the best way to respond. Visit www.cornucopiaebooks..com for more details or www.cornucopiaebooks.com/images/CSA.pdf

How to Protect Your Child from Sexual Abuse in Nigeria

[img][/img][url][www.cornucopiaebooks.com/images/CSA.pdf]

As many as one in three girls and one in seven boys will be sexually abused at some point in their childhood, according to "Stop It Now!"

With growing public awareness in Nigeria that child sexual abuse is far more prevalent than previously believed, many parents are wondering how to protect their kids from sexual predators. As many as one in three girls and one in seven boys will be sexually abused at some point in their childhood, according to "Stop It Now!," an international organization that aims to prevent sexual abuse of children by "mobilizing adults, families and communities to take actions that protect children before they are harmed."
"Parents must be aware of the fact that most sexual abuse cases involve a person the child knows, strangers are not the greatest danger to your children,” says, Chidinma Stella Onuoha, a lawyer and author of the recently released e-book, ‘Protect Your Child from Sexual Abuse in Nigeria’. In this book, the author focuses on both preventive and corrective steps toward fighting the child sexual abuse scourge in Nigeria. The effects of childhood sexual abuse can be debilitating and long-lasting," says Chidinma. "It can result in major psychological, emotional, and physical disorders including substance abuse, depression, sexual dysfunction, eating disorders, and an inability to have healthy, happy relationships."

The reality of Child Sexual Abuse is a terrifying concept - but it is something that every parent needs to face because knowledge is power! The fact is that nearly every incident of sexual abuse is preventable, with simple steps that parents can take. Though parenting is the toughest job out there, it is also the area where one gets the least expertise. What makes it particularly challenging is the fact that society looks forward to entrusting every child's safety and protection to the parents. Thus, parents should know first-hand how to deal with any kind of child problems and issues, including sexual abuse. Parents should have a plan for protecting their children!

There is a plan of protecting your loved ones which is embodied in an e-book, ‘Protect Your Child from Sexual Abuse in Nigeria’. This e-book will show:
•The harsh realities of child sexual abuse in Nigeria, •the pain that child sexual abuse causes and the false beliefs that child sexual abuse create, •how to recognize the warning signs •How to keep a child safe from sexual abuse •who sexually abuses children? •How and where abusers gain access to children •Steps to healing where sexual abuse has already happened •Celebrities that have survived child sexual abuse • the nongovernmental organizations in Nigeria (and their addresses) that can help you deal with child sexual abuse when it has happened

Parents Are Funny and they're so funny about believing that child sexual abuse can only happen to the "other person’s child". It doesn't! Do not take things for granted; it is better to be safe than sorry. Child sexual abuse has many harmful and devastating effects on its young victims - physically, mentally and spiritually -- leaving scars that can last a lifetime. Please think about it.
