Health / Re: Please How Much Will It Cost To Remove My Womb? I'm Tired!!!! by tsmith(f): 7:43pm On Mar 23
Jewessgratitud3:
Please I need to know if anyone has successfully removed theirs cos that's the next thing on my to -do list.

Now iv been considering this option as the permanent cure for the Monthly discomfort and sickness that comes with menses. After I watched a documentary on tv where a white female doc said the permanent cure for this is to remove the womb. Just don't have an idea how much it would cost but I'm sure it would definitely worth it.

I've noticed that this thing comes with different sickness each month and its always very annoying having to bear too many things at a time. Anemia, pains, discomfort, smell and sicknesses of various kinds. I don't what its doing for me. So let it just go to the gutters! I'm sick if it.! The fact that I hate popping pills to relieve pains is another thing I don't think I wanna continue with.




I WANT TO REMOVE MY WOMB AND BE HAPPY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!



looks like what you're after is a full hysterectomy, which any good doctor would consider your age, conditions and future plans before agreeing to.

I wanted same when I was having my second child at 31yrs, for me I was already having elective CS, certain i didn't want anymore children, anaemic, get serious uncontrollable weight gain for contraceptive, plus to have less places cancel can grow in the future. Like why carry organs you no longer need around. however after much consultations and persuasion, we settled on sterilisation (tubes cut, and tied) instead as a full hysterectomy will onset menopause which you may be surprised comes with it's own vices.

i however who's had a full hysterectomy in her 30s but luckily after all her kids, as her body was often growing very large fibroids that caused bleeding etc.

you know your body and the pain, see a doc and take it from there

Food / Re: Can You Cook Your Meals With Shea Butter? (pictures) by tsmith(f): 6:12pm On Feb 27
mariahAngel:
I watched a food blogger fry her eggs with unrefined Shea butter, and it looked really nice and golden, then I thought to myself this actually isn't such a bad idea, after all Shea butter is gotten from Shea nuts, rich in nutrients, and is bound to be healthy, since it melts at body temperature. Hmm! 🤔

I dare say it can even give butter (animal fat) a run for its money. 😌
Shea butter should even be considered edible first, before any other use.

If I could get freshly made food grade Shea butter, I'd be very willing to try it.

Can you cook your meals with Shea butter?
Would you be willing to eat a meal cooked with Shea butter?

Pictures' source: Google.

I remember as a child my stepmom and cook tried frying eggs with adi agbon (coconut oil) and the whole house rejected the food.

Sheabutter even as a topical cream doesn’t have a pleasant smell, i would imagine that smell will also transfer to the food and make it unpalatable.

I guess when one is used to a particular taste and expectation anything different would need getting used to. But to each his own, especially these hard times wey crayfish bend so

Ps. Paying the CS cost isn't a sacrifice for her, it's for you and the child. She's sacrificed herself to bring a healthy child to life. The least you can do right now is nurse her back to health with a lot of care and love. She may for all you know be suffering from post natal trauma.

Family / Re: That One Child That You Love, But Will Frustrate You Unintentionally by tsmith(f): 10:32am On Aug 07, 2023
Mummyfour:
There are children that would just do things to provoke you, just like some of us did to provoke our parents, some unintentionally though.

Like I have a son whom I love so much, but he can be playful and absent minded at times.

I teach my children to do chores and they really do that without complaining. My youngest son is like the onion slicer whenever food is being cooked. He is fifteen and when his sisters run away from slicing onions, he will always play the role of the super man, even if it means him screaming and slicing the onions and shedding tears while doing so. Sometimes he even runs to the bathroom, wash his eyes and still goes back to continue 🤣🤣

Last week he sliced scent leaves for me, and carefully arranged it in a plate. I carried the bowl of scent leaves and poured straight into the pot of stew without washing it and by the time I realized it, it was already cooking together with my stew.

I called my son to confirm if he washed it and all he could say was "Eeewooo!". He said he thought he washed it. I said how could he have neatly arranged it in a ready to be cooked way without washing and he couldn't answer me. I was angry. Very angry.

He is a diligent boy, always ready to help fix things in the house, but he is the type that will mistakingly pour sugar into a pot of soup, or if you ask him to cook noodles, would use all the pepper in the house and he will end up helping you to eat it, while telling you "sorry o, it wasn't deliberate" grin grin., And probably offer to help cook another one with less pepper or get you something else.(He tries in cooking for his age though)

If you have a child like that or you did that to your parents, let's share our experiences and laugh it out. Every day mustn't be for politics and tribalistic slurs gringrin

Mods please push to front page I beg

He might just have adhd! I have a 15 years son who sounds just like yours... Makes numerously unintentional school boy errors. His intention in never spiteful but he makes mistakes, forgets things etc all the time. He takes the most from.me (energy wise) but I love him regardless. As a parent you just so want to fix them so they can function as adults navigating the world

Family / Re: Genotype Issue. Please Be Rational ( I Am Not A Religious Person) by tsmith(f): 2:27am On Jul 11, 2023
Bolt458:
I am not writing this for religious people to come with their funny talks, I am just putting this out here to hear from people who might have tried this methods or who heard about this methods and still proceeded or did not. I want to hear your experience. I have been dating someone for 5 years now, it happened that I began to see her as someone I would want to spend my life with. Last year we did our genotype test and we were both AS. Now , I know some of you will say this should be the first thing you ask when you meet someone but c’mon, would you say people in university that are dating now, would ask their sef that question? That theory is only feasible when you are single and ready to get married and want to start a new relationship, then you can always ask, but we all know some of our relationships started when we no Dey even see marriage in the nearest future, all of a sudden you just see them as the right person and you take the bold step. Now, I had to meet my family doctor here in Canada, I explained to him my current situation and he referred me to a GENETIC COUNSELOR. I am trying to take the necessary steps cause I am not ready to bring in a child with Sickle cell to this world, and I am not leaving anything to faith. A fone appointment was set with the counselor and we spoke at length. She told me that in every foetus, there is a 25% chance that we can get an SS child. Now , how do we mitigate this percentage to the barest minimum I asked as I am not even ready to bring in a sickler to this world. She gave me three options, I would rather say two because the last involves test when the baby comes, and that is out of the question.

Option 1:
A) CVS: They take a sample of the fluid in the womb through her vagina, at 12 weeks to test, if it’s good then fine, if not we have to terminate.

OR

B) At 16 weeks, they take the fluid using a needle directly from her womb, and if it’s SS , they terminate. Both procedures are cover by the government and we don’t need to pay a dime.

Now, she assured me that abortion is a very safe procedure if done properly, and it is even a bigger risk that one can die from a penicillin injection or carrying a pregnancy to term than any harm during an abortion.I know many people would come here and say abortion is this and that but let us be frank to ourselves. If you were told that the child in your womb would have cerebral palsy, or Down syndrome or a neurological disorder, would you still keep that pregnancy? Is there a 100% assurance that two AA people would give birth to a healthy baby? I have come to a realization that pregnancy is just a risk that people take, cus you really don’t know how your child would turn out.


Option 2:
PGD. This is just like IVF, where they would select the genotype before they insert back to the womb. She told me the government doesn’t cover this, and it could cost between $10K- $40k. However she mentioned, just like IVf, it is not guaranteed as it can fail and your money is gone.

I discussed this with my girl in Nigeria and she said she was fine with option 1a. I then asked her, that if the first, second are SS would she still remove it. She accepted. I would not lie to you, this girl is everything I want in a woman. I am not just looking at just love because I know love fades with time, but she is a really nice person, and has a good character. She has always been like this from my days in Nigeria because I was with her before I moved outside. Now after finding out our genotype, I tried to get into a relationship with AA. The first one Dey nigeria, she is a nice person, beautiful, but I just didn’t like her or feel attracted to her. She got tire and we just free ourselves, the second one is here in Canada, I just don’t like this one . Please note, I never slept with any of these ladies because I feel it’s not fair.


Now my question is for those who knew all this and still proceeded, how did it work out for you?

I repeat, don’t come here to tell me about how abortion is this and dat. Cus I know if they tell any of you that your child would be abnormal, 90% of you will go for the abortion

Love is a beautiful thing and trials such as your genotype issues is just one of the tribulations to test your love.

I'd say go for love above all


I have a friend who also let go of her partner due to same issue but time and love brought them together again.

They did the genetic testing for both of their children and luckily both aren't Ss.

I'm your dynamic your chances are 25% AA, 50% AS & 25% SS. The odds 75% is in your favour... And thankful you don't have to worry about the cost of these tests.. So I'd say go for it and hope for the best.

You are simply paranoid/have your own insecurities.

Dearlove2me:
Have you ever been in a situation where you find it difficult to let go even when the situation is not making you happy?

Have you ever been with a partner with bad behavior and they are not ready to change and you're force to divorce and walk away, but deep down, you wish they could change for good, because you want a better life?

Have you ever been in a situation where you constantly nag your partner out of the house,but still wish they're safe. And want them back safely?

What of living with a partner where love, affection romance and all that are absent because your partner's bad character irritate you?

What did you do?

Could this emotional feeling, be a feeling that keeps people in an unhealthy marriage for the rest of their lives?
Did you walk away or did you stay even when you have no solution?

Does divorce really mean you've failed?


Not at all. It takes a whole lot of balls, self awareness and emotional healthiness to walk away from a bad situation. Things change, whatever the cause, the ability to respond healthy should be applauded

Politics / Re: Fuel Subsidy, New Naira Note Deadline: This Is Why Tinubu Is Ahead by tsmith(f): 10:00am On Jan 26, 2023
HomoSapiien:
If Tinubu was a coward, he would not voice one bit about the implication of the kind of frenzy and panic some elements in the current government are trying to activate on Nigerians.

Before the presidential primaries, it was rumored that Malami was supporting Emefiele to clinch the presidential ticket, hence we can always say, since Abba Kyari who was the former owner of Emefiele, died, Malami has taken over in putting leash on his neck and directing him wherever he so will.

Nobody is against the new naira policy but question is, why didn’t the circulate the new notes since it was printed out in December? Why is it now that it’s just barely a week to the deadline that they’re trying to compel everyone to get it from the banks, when actually they’re yet to distribute enough to the banks?

Why should they try to frustrate Nigerians, why should they cause unnecessary panic in the public?

There was no real fuel scarcity for the past 6 years, how come it’s starting now?

Now, Tinubu has shown that he’s ahead, confident and not a coward the more reason why he voiced out yesterday. If it were some Lilly liver politician, he would remain muted while these elements make Nigerians angry at him, but now that he's voiced out, expect this who thing to disappear in a few days.

The cabals (Malami and co) know quite well that should Tinubu president, it'd not be business for them as it currently is with Buhari, they're scared and they probably striked a bargain with Atiku and they're eager to work with him so they can have food on their table again.

Because you can see clearly how fast Atiku campaign team quickly replied back to Tinubu outburst. They never expected he would be bold enough to call out the cabal and they know quite well that with that outburst, their game plan is going down.

Don't forget it was until he voiced out prior the primaries before Buhari's cabal go down low, now he's voiced out again and they'd have no option that to go down low. Watch out!

Fuel scarcity has been on for ages, not once has Tinubu's campaign spoken up on the plights of suffering Nigerians, but suddenly nearer to elections he's singing foul and attempts to sabotage his victory.

GREEDY SELFISH BASTARD.

Ever questioned why he's most affected by new naira? It's supposed to be an election of the best candidate not best escobat rigger. Let your true good works campaign for you

Hi peeps,

I'm dating this babe I find appealing and I want to get serious with but I have a few concerns:

1. Her mum was married multiple times, had 6 kids for 5 men and ended single.

2. She lost 2 of her brothers.

3. One of her sisters is missing.

4. Her sister's husband slept with her in the past, though her sister never knew.

5. Her siblings and their spouses don't talk to her mom, she's the only one showing her love.

6. Her younger sister was married 10 years ago...

What do you feel guys?

Yorubas have a saying, ninu ikoko dudu nii eko funfun tin jade. (White pap comes from darkened heartened pots).

Also reminds me of the illustrations of a drunken no good father with twins. 1 mirrored the father because that's all he saw and knew and the other turned out totally opposite and was very upright because he saw the devastating dangers of alcohol on his family and was determined to change his narrative.

It's not what's happened to her in the past that matters, it's who she is now. What's her reflection and views of all these. Is she intentional about changing the narrative for herself?

Your girlfriend should also not be responsible to bear the drudge of families woes.

That been said, I'd be surprised if yourself and your entire family line is without blemish. Count yourself lucky if life has been kind 100% to you and your lineage.

Which i truly doubt, I sense you're setting a standard for her without truly reflecting inwards at yours.

2. What exactly was she supposed to apologize for? From your story, she didn't do anything wrong that would require her to apologize, so? Or do you think because she is your wife, she is then a mental illness patient that should apologize to you even when she is obviously not wrong just because she is married to you? undecided

I seriously tire ooh at the blatant entitlement and unnecessary authorDictatorship.

You ask her to suddenly change her plans, then blast off her phone like a lunatic, then complain she didn't respond to your erratic phone calls in time.

Then the person you were supposedly missing finally comes home and all you do is nag, rage and ask her to go back to her fathers house, not without reminding her she's your biggest mistake etc. Then expect 'ordinary' sorry from her for YOUR IRRATIONAL behaviour.

Now that she's granted you your wishes and gone back to her father's house, you're still here ranting, 1st i won't give them a dime, To if she stays beyond jan no marriage again to then accepting that perhaps you might just support them financially.

Oga, you're the one that needs to say more than ordinary sorry. You also need to let her know you'd be seeking therapy, but plead with her to please return because you shall no longer be demonstrating such unreasonable behaviour. She should be calling the shots on you not you on her.

And whilst you're at it learn, a civil person would show they miss their loved by telling them so. A simple phone call, text message, babes I'm missing you and the XYZ things you do. I wish you were here right now and i don't know how im gonna survive till sunday without you. Naa the babe hersef go change return date for her family or leave pikin come collect one quick one.

You started by giving her freedom

If she is reasonable, and your reason is, I don't see why you should not reach an understanding.


Agree, and an understanding doesn't have to be an apology.

Your wife is an adult, and despite your vocal preference, she also would have her reasons for going for the event.

You can't simply ask an adult not to do something and expect obidence. An adult isn't a child or an animal, and even these don't always obey commands mind.

In another thread, there was a letter presumably written by Ike to British Visa office collaborating the visa application of the alleged donor.

If the above is actually true then Ike has a strong case to extricate himself out of this legal entanglement.

This goes without saying that services of a competent legal counsel will be sought.

In all, I fear for the life of the little girl.

What I think happened here, is that the donor got wise after it became obvious that he has become useless to the requirement he was deemed to fulfill.

Having tasted the good life, he has decided to take matters into his hands to prolong his stay abroad.

However, we can keep our fingers closed and await matters unfold.

He will have his day in the court.


No he doesn't. There's still the element of paying for organ donation which os illegal in the UK. Ekerewhatever cannot beat the fact that money has been paid, or woild be paid for the kidney.

The law and advertising for an organ
It is not illegal to place an advert, for example online or in a newspaper, seeking a living organ donor providing there is no offer of a reward, payment or material advantage to the potential donor. Under the Human Tissue Act 2004 and the Human Tissue (Scotland) Act 2006, it is an offence to give or receive a reward for the supply of, or for an offer to supply, any organ or part organ. It is also an offence to seek to find a person willing to supply any organ or part organ for reward. A reward could be any money, gift or other benefits with a financial value which influences the decision to donate an organ. As such, any offer of a reward in exchange for an organ is an offence in the UK.

IT WAS NOT AN ILLEGAL DEALINGS. THE ENTIRE EPISODE WAS DOCUMENTED IN THIS LETTER, HE SENT TO THE UK EMBASSY FOR THE BOY''S TRIP TO ENGLAND.

He stated in the letter that the boy was going to the UK as a DONOR in a heart transplant for his beleagued daughter. And, not any kind of organ HARVESTING either.

https://www.nairaland.com/7193631/parenthood-tears-desperation

I HAD EARLIER SUSPECTED THAT THE PERCEIVED "INNOCENT" BOY WAS PART OF A LARGER RING OF CONSPIRACY WITH AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE UNKNOWN TO THE Ekweremadus.

The conspiratorial nefarious group with the culpable boy must be investigated and with his co conspirators should be made to face the law.

WITH A GOOD DEFENSE TEAM. THE LETTER ABSOLVES HIM FROM THE ALLEGATION OF ORGAN HARVESTING AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND OR BOTH.

Mind you all organ donations in the UK must be voluntary. Sale or compensation isnt not allowed. It's actually a crime for money to exchange hands for organ spnation and even surrogacy. Only expenses will related to the procedure is permissible to be made.

Can the defendants proof that compensation hasn't been promised in exchange of the organ? Can they establish a relationship between the boy and Sonia? Are they bestfriends, favourite cousin/sibling etc that the boy wouls just wake up and voluntary give up his kidney? Or did they find the boy from a media cry for help/kidney?

Organ donation is a life altering decision and several genetic and mental evaluation takes place before a donor is certified as a match and the operation is carried out.

it's beyond claiming the boy is 21 years on paper (possibly to avoid extra checks on consent etc). The medical testing must have established this boy is genetically 15yrs and not 21 as claimed. Also from the mental evaluation with a psychologist, as the donor is an adult this would be have done in privacy without the Ekere whatever people. If the boy is truly 15, no matter the coaching, with the kind of questioning his true age must have come through from these sessions plus the fact that compensation has been promised. Even questions like why have you chosen to do this? How do you know sonia etc

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

The law and advertising for an organ in the UK

It is not illegal to place an advert, for example online or in a newspaper, seeking a living organ donor providing there is no offer of a reward, payment or material advantage to the potential donor. Under the Human Tissue Act 2004 and the Human Tissue (Scotland) Act 2006, it is an offence to give or receive a reward for the supply of, or for an offer to supply, any organ or part organ. It is also an offence to seek to find a person willing to supply any organ or part organ for reward. A reward could be any money, gift or other benefits with a financial value which influences the decision to donate an organ. As such, any offer of a reward in exchange for an organ is an offence in the UK.

Health / Re: What Is This On My Brother's Body? (Photos) by tsmith(f): 3:36pm On May 20, 2022
hugelyendowed:
This has been on my cousin's body since December last year. It scratches him. It's located on his ribs/stomach region.

Initially they felt it's traditional stuff but after series of treatments with herbal and traditional procedures, no show.

He had to go to hospital and Even did blood culture. Yet it still scratches him and has refused to go.

Please any reasonable contributions on how to cure this permanently will be appreciated. Thanks. He will be reading.

Note: The two Labs he did at a hospital and at a lab centre all show that he is HIV Negative. So that one is ruled out totally. He is not even promiscuous.

Allergy is another suspect. He doesn't even rub creams.

It maybe impetigo, my daugther had that as a baby. If it is, the' cause is staphylococcus entering a break in the body. A dose of specific antibiotics sorted her out. Ps. As a result of our dark skin and many diagnosis specific to white skin, it was initially hard to identify

I am a fortysomething man in a long-term relationship – nearly 20 years – and have two children. For the past 10 years my partner has been having short-term lovers. These were clandestine, but more recently she has stopped hiding, called our relationship “open”, and currently has a lover who I do know about. But this “open relationship” can only be one-sided, because she is jealous and suspicious while I am basically not polyamorous. So why stay together? We get on, communicate well (other than the no-go zone of her other love life), rarely argue, are bonded by bringing up our children and are financially tied together.

However, the years of suppressing my emotions – of jealousy, rejection, insecurity, being lied to – have left me broken. Sex (which we still occasionally do have) has become stressed: if I don’t perform enthusiastically, it will justify her seeking other lovers. Also, I am expected to remain sexually attracted to her, which gets more difficult when I know she’s been with someone else recently. We had frank talks when she offered to end her extramarital affairs and be monogamous with me – or plan how we might separate without affecting our children. We were both very upset, as we are very much still in love, and wish the sex side of our relationship wasn’t such a terrible mess.

But it has occurred to me that I am emotionally and sexually broken after this past decade. If I was single again – or my partner was to become monogamous with me again – I don’t think I would be a viable person to be in a relationship with. How do I start to repair myself, inside or outside this relationship?

Any advice would be cool.

THERAPY. You've stated the fact before you can be vialable to your emotional self or someone else, you need to come to terms with all that's happened and be able to walk away from all a better person.

I've recently ended a 16yr relationship/marriage and I can identify with you on many terms.

Staying in a broken marriage without fixing the issues just lead to more broken souls. Not good for anyone; individually, as a couple or the kids. And truly there is more to life than living one below par. Be free

This makes good sense.
But no wife should ever do that without the knowledge of her hubby.... which you also affirm.

I don't agree. No human should need another human'a permission on matters that would only influences self.

So it's established and clear that the sale of eggs is basically good use of what would have been waste.

Yes it would have been nice, honest and true to have hinted the partner, but it's not compulsory. I therefore disagree with your statement - no wife should ever do that without the knowledge of her hubby.

I am happy that there is communication in your marriage, and as you said the both of you agreed to certain terms and conditions concerning her going to the market. I do have questions for you, do you have children, if yes who takes care of them when she goes to the market in Saturday? You have made a demand as the head of the family which she is to abide by despite her initial reaction towards it. If it is possible for you to visit that market of hers without her knowing so as to find out what exactly is going on there that is really making her go back every Saturday.

There is a communication, then dictatorship. Theirs sounds like a one sided conversation, the head of zoo dictates and the animals are just expected to say yes Sir yes Sir. No arguments, no alternative suggestions and no compromise.

You sound like a feminist, am the head of the house, and I take full responsibility of my familys progress, so going out is going to play or what? Everyone have their role to play, as I am playing mine, so does she. I pity whoever marries you, cos i know damn sure u arent married.

You see yourself? You've just confirmed you don't take it when other have views contrary to yours.
