WILL IT BE OBVIOUS ONCE MY BABIES ARE BORN
If your twins are a boy and a girl, you'll know for
certain that they aren't identical.
But if your twins are of the same sex, and each
has their own placenta, they may or may not be
identical.
You may discover that your twins are identical at
the time of their birth, after your doctor has
examined the placenta closely. You can also ask
for blood tests to be performed on the umbilical
cords of each baby. The placenta may be sent
away to establish whether or not your twins are
identical, but usually only if there's a medical
reason to do so.
After your babies are born, other signs may be
used to determine if they're identical, such as:
blood group
eye colour
hair colour
foot, hand and ear shape
the pattern of tooth eruption
But if you want to know for sure whether your
twins are identical, a DNA test is the most
accurate way of finding out.
The test (zygosity determination) will establish
whether your twins are identical (monozygotic)
or fraternal (dizygotic). It involves sending a
small swab of cheek cells to a laboratory. These
cells are taken by sweeping a cotton bud along
the inside your twins' mouths. |
HOW I WILL KNOW IF MY TWINS ARE IDENTICAL Your sonographer will look at your babies and their placenta or placentas during your first trimester ultrasound scan . This should take place before you are 14 weeks pregnant. Your twins may be found to be: Dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) Each baby has their own placenta and their own separate inner membrane (amnion) and outer membrane (chorion). This is the case for one third of identical twins and all non-identical twins. So DCDA twins may or may not be identical. Monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) Both babies share a single placenta and one single outer membrane, but they each have their own separate inner membrane. This is the case for two thirds of identical twins, so is the most common type of identical twin. MCDA twins are identical. Monochorionic monoamniotic (MCMA) Both babies share a single placenta and one single outer membrane, but they also share an inner membrane. MCMA twins are extremely rare and only account for one per cent of all identical twins. MCMA twins are identical. HOW ACCURATE IS THE SCAN If your sonographer is unsure whether your twins share a placenta, she will perform a second scan and may seek a second opinion. Ultrasound scans are generally an accurate way of determining whether or not your twins share a placenta. However, there's no certainty that your sonographer will be able to tell if your twins are or aren't identical. Sharing a placenta may be a sign that your twins are identical, but the placenta itself isn't a guide, as the placentas of non-identical twins can fuse together. As they carry the same genetic package, identical twins are genetically identical and so are always of the same sex. So you can expect either two girls or two boys. |
You'll probably want to know as early as
possible in your pregnancy if your twins are
identical. Apart from curiosity, knowing that your
twins share a placenta (monochorionic twins)
helps your doctor and midwife to adapt your
care to any potential complications .
If you are pregnant with identical twins, you are
more likely to experience complications in
pregnancy. Though most monochorionic twins
are born healthy, up to 15 per cent of twins who
share a placenta experience twin-to-twin
transfusion syndrome (TTTS). This abnormality
of the placenta means that one twin receives too
much blood while the other receives too little.
If you are found to be expecting monochorionic
twins, your pregnancy will be closely monitored
and you should have more frequent antenatal
appointments and scans . |
Now, my dear friends, prepare yourselves, because
the worst of it is coming! As you read, treat the
exposed information as counsel on how to be
better, not as demeaning. Ask yourself, would you
put up with yourself if you were your own
husband, fiancé, or boyfriend?
So, take a deep breath and read about 15 things
that make men want to disappear, along with
what the woman says to do so:
1. The Trouble Makers
Most readers will agree with this one. A man gets
easily annoyed when a woman cannot let go of
the things she does not like. Men do not like a
woman who tries to solve problems by arguing
about it in front of everyone.
To onlooker: “What you looking at? Don’t you see
that he is got someone already?”
2. The Drama Queens
The dramatic women love to create a storm in a
glass of water. Crying helps them seem more
convincing.
“That outfit is awful! I’m not going anymore! You
can go by yourself, if you like!”
3. The Jealous
Among the worst complaints are against those
women who are almost neurotically untrusting.
“Who is that woman in front of us? She’s looked
in the rear-view mirror twice now!”
4. The Yellers
You have no clue how annoyed a man gets with
shouting.
YOU DON’T EVER LISTEN TO ME! YOU WOULD
MUCH RATHER TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS!”
5. The Fault Finder
She is the type of woman that finds faults in
everything. Nothing is the way she wants it.
“It would have been better had you done it my
way.”
6. The Bad-Humored
Are generally straight-faced and smile very little.
“What you laughing at?”
7. The Madonnas
These women do not like the fact that men have
freedom of choice. They believe that men do not
know how to use their agency well or even that
they do not possess the maturity to do so.
Generally, they act as if they were his mother.
“You are no longer allowed to use that shirt! It is
horrific!”
8. The insecure
These women do not think they are worthy of
their companions. They always question
themselves about their feelings and the man’s
taste in women.
“You think that she’s prettier than me, don’t you?
I bet if she looked this way, you would totally go
after her and leave me behind.”
9. The indecisive
Single boys have a lot to say about this attitude.
They show interest in a girl and she shows
interest back, but she soon acts distant. Boys feel
very confused with this type of attitude.
Those men that are no longer single also have
their own two cents to put in. Not being able to
pick which clothes to wear, which place to go,
and other similar decisions leaves men impatient
and irritated.
“I don’t know, what do you think?”
10. The Subjective
These are the women with the inability to be
direct or state what they want. They think that
men have a crystal ball attached to their brains.
Not only do they hope that the man will guess
what they are thinking, they hope that he
deciphers the “woman code,” which is given
through looks, small gestures, a nose scratch or
any other similar signs.
“You just don’t understand me.”
11. The Overly-Attached
Emotionally dependent women are a burden to
men. They do not understand that men need to
breathe, have some personal time, and
demonstrate total dependence on their love.
These kinds of women are similar to gum on a
shoe.
“You haven’t even left yet and I already miss
you!” “Without you, I would die!”
12. The Sloppy
The greatest complainers are married men, since
single women don’t usually make this mistake
during dating times. Men like having a good-
looking woman by their side!
“People need to stop worrying about the small
details.”
13. The Digger
Think more about the things that she can obtain
by relating with a man, than the type of person he
is.
“What year was your car made again?”
14. The Vulgar
Women like to fish for attention at whatever cost,
including being revealing in their attire.
“My body is beautiful, so I’ll show it.”
15. The Liars
They do not like to do things openly and do not
feel comfortable exposing the truth. They prefer to
omit a fact or two to telling the truth.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
Well, there you have it, women. These complaints
do have a foundation, don’t you think? So, don’t
get angry about it. But fight the stereotypes and
make a few changes to improve your
relationships and yourselves. |
Enugu State Governorship Election Petitions
Tribunal on Friday upheld the election of Governor
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in the April 11, 2015
governorship election.
The tribunal dismissed the petition filed by the
governorship candidate of the All Progressives
Congress in the state, Okey Ezea, on the grounds
that it was frivolous, lacked merit and was an
abuse of court process.
A cost of N150,000 was equally awarded in favour
of each of the respondents in the petition.
Delivering the judgment, which lasted over three
hours, the chairman of the tribunal, Justice
Kwajafa Hildad, held that several paragraphs of
Ezea’s petition were earlier struck out for being
imprecise and vague.
According to Hildad, the petition equally contained
criminal allegations against people who were not
made parties to the case.
He added that the petitioner’s allegations of
overvoting and non-accreditation, through the
manipulation of the card reader machine by the
Independent National Electoral Commission and
other respondents, were not sufficiently proved as
it was only the voters register that could
determine the number of people that voted in an
election.
He maintained that the petitioner failed to provide
the voter registers to prove his case.
The tribunal also noted that the petitioner only
provided six witnesses drawn from only six polling
units out of the 2,958 polling units in the state, a
figure which was seen as insufficient.
Continuing, the tribunal held that the six
witnesses admitted that the governorship election
was free, fair and peaceful “with minor
irregularities, which were not sufficient enough to
cancel the election”. |
Going by the prediction of the World Health
Organisation (WHO) on the World Cancer Day
on February 4, 2013 about 84 million people
may die of the disease by this year.
The National Cancer Prevention Programme
(NCPP) said that no fewer than 80,000
Nigerians die from various forms of cancer
annually, with an estimated 10 people dying
from cancer every hour.
Some prominent Nigerians who have died of
the non-communicable disease include
politicians, celebrities and others.
Former President, Alhaji Umaru Yar’Adua fell
victim of the disease in May 2010 after years
of battling that kept him away from his
constitutional duties as first governor of
Kastina State and then President.
Second Republic Senate Leader, Dr. Olusola
Saraki, also died of cancer as confirmed by his
youngest son, Olaolu, who admitted that the
political giant of Kwara politics “had been
battling with cancer for about five years”
before he breath his last on November 14,
2012.
Maryam Babangida, wife of former military
President Ibrahim Babangida also had her life
cut short by the dreaded disease on December
27, 2009. She had to leave behind her pet
project – Better Life Programme for Rural
Women – which launched many co-operatives,
cottage industries, farms and gardens, shops
and markets, women’s centres and social
welfare programmes.
The doggedness with which renowned activist
and social crusader, Chief Gani Fawehinmi
fought successive and oppressive military
dictators was not enough to survive the
monster called cancer.
He lost the battle to lung cancer on
September 5, 2009.
For two years, ace broadcaster, Yinka Craig,
who made his name with Nigerian Television
Authority (NTA) battled to stay alive until
September 23, 2008 when he died at the Mayo
Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, United States
(U.S.). He received treatment for cancer of the
immune system.
Yusuf Jibo, former Zonal Director of the
Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), also died
of colon cancer on December, 2010.
For Sonny Okosun, one of Nigeria’s great
musicians, the music stopped playing when he
died on May 24, 2008 at 61 in the U.S. after a
prolonged battle with cancer. He had gone to
seek medical advice on his deteriorating
health.
Clara, the wife of labour leader turned
governor, Adam Oshiomole was also said to
have died of cancer on December 8, 2010,
eleven days to her daughter’s wedding. |

Who will be the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) chairman?
The question became more pertinent at the
weekend, with more officials leaving the
agency.
Of the 13 National Commissioners, only four,
including the Acting National Chairman, Mrs.
Amina Zakari, remain in office.
But of the four, two (Mr. Chris Iyimoga and
Amb. Mohammad Ahmad Wali) will complete
their five-year tenure today.
Zakari and Nwuruku will be left to run the
commission.
Also, about six of the 37 Resident Electoral
Commissioners (RECs) have finished their
terms of office.
The development has heightened the lobbying
for the commission’s chairman.
The Presidency is shopping for credible
candidates as INEC chairman and RECs.
No fewer than 10 candidates are jostling to be
chairman.
Some of those being speculated are: Mrs.
Zakari; two former National Commissioners
(Lai Olurode and Nuru Yakubu); the Director-
General of INEC Electoral Institute, Prof.
Abubakar Momoh; Mr. Festus Okoye ( a
human rights activist); Mr. Mike Igini and
three unnamed candidates.
A retired Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice
Muhammadu Uwais, who was the chairman of
an Electoral Reform Committee raised by the
late President Umaru Yar’Adua, has been
suggested for the job, but there is a snag: his
age.
The top contender for the coveted seat is Mrs.
Zakari, a princess of Hadejia, Kano State in
the Northwest.
Besides coming from the same geopolitical
zone with Jega, Mrs. Zakari is the first woman
vying for the Chief Electoral Officer.
It was gathered that there were issues on
whether or not the President should appoint
the INEC chairman from the North or the
South.
The last occupant of the office, Prof. Attahiru
Jega, came from Kebbi State in the Northwest.
The North-South dichotomy has placed a
burden on the Presidency and made the race
to succeed Jega keener, The Nation learnt.
The geo-political breakdown of past INEC
chairmen is as follows: Chief Eyo Esua
(1964-1966)—Southsouth; Chief Michael Ani
(1979)—Southsouth; Justice Victor Ovie-
Whiskey (1983)—Southsouth; Prof. Eme Awa
(1987-19890—South-East; Prof. Humphrey
Nwosu (1989-1993)—Southeast; Prof. Okon
Uya and Chief Sumner Dagogo-Jack
(1994-1998)—-Southsouth; Justice Ephraim
Akpate (1998-2000)—Southsouth; Prof. Abel
Guobadia(2000—2005)—Southsouth; Prof.
Maurice Iwu (2005-2010)—Southeast; and
Prof. Attahiru Jega (2010-2015).
A source said: “Of the six geo-political zones,
only three have produced INEC chairman. The
zones yet to produce one are: Northeast,
Northcentral and Southwest. This is why
ethnic or geo-political politics is beclouding
the lobbying.
“The decision will be tough for the President
because his predecessor, ex-President
Goodluck Jonathan, opted for a Northerner as
INEC chairman. This is a template which
cannot be ignored. Jonathan might have
copied the template from former President
Ibrahim Babangida, the late Head of State,
Gen. Sani Abacha; and ex-Head of State Gen.
Abdulsalami Abubakar.
“Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo however
jettisoned the template when he appointed
Guobadia and Iwu from the Southsouth and
the Southeast.
”From the meticulous method Buhari has
adopted in making appointments, merit and
incorruptibility might be his yardsticks,
irrespective of geo-political zones. Some of
these candidates have started lobbying for the
plum job. The search is, however, difficult by
the standard set by Jega.
“As for geopolitical zone, as long as Buhari
gets a competent hand, he can still appoint a
new INEC chairman from the Northwest. If you
look at past successive chief electoral officers,
a Southsouth candidate has replaced another.”
Mrs. Zakari appears the aspirant to beat.
Those backing her, mostly gender advocates,
are flaunting “her rich career experience,
devotion to duty, grasp of the electoral
process and her tutelage under Jega”, a
source said, adding that: “these feminine
advocates have taken their agitation to some
UN organisations and embassies on why a
woman should lead INEC for the first time.
“But the reservations about her include her
past service under a former FCT Minister, who
is now a governor, her continued service in
INEC after the expiration of her tenure on July
21, alleged illegality of her appointment as
acting INEC chairman; opposition by PDP and
mudslinging by some of her co-aspirants.”
A Presidency source said President was yet to
discuss his nominees for INEC.
“So far, there is an acting chairman and
contrary to some insinuations, the choice of
Amina Zakari as acting chairman is legal.”
Section 318(4) of the Constitution states that
‘The Interpretation Act shall apply for the
purpose of interpreting the provisions of this
Constitution.’
“Section 11 of the Interpretation Act empowers
whoever can make a substantive appointment
to appoint a person in an acting capacity. It is
misleading to say that there is no provision for
any acting capacity in INEC.”
As of press time, it was gathered that the
President would need to consult with the
Council of State before appointing the next
INEC chairman.
“This means, President Buhari must do his
homework very well in appointing the new
INEC chairman and RECs. By Monday, only
two National Commissioners will be in charge
of INEC. Also, about six RECs are left
nationwide,” a former National Commissioner
said.
“Section 154(3) of the 1999 Constitution
empowers the President to consult the Council
of State before appointing INEC chairman and
National Commissioners.
The section reads in part: “In exercising his
powers to appoint a person as Chairman or
member of INEC, National Judicial Council, the
Federal Judicial Service Commission or the
National Population Commission, the President
shall consult the Council of State.”
Also, sections 14 and 15 of Part 1 of the Third
Schedule of the 1999 Constitution states: “The
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) shall comprise the following members
(a) a Chairman, who shall be the Chief
Electoral Commissioner; and (b) twelve other
members to be known as National Electoral
Commissioners.
“A member of the Commission shall be (a)
non-partisan and a person of unquestionable
integrity (b) be not less than 40 years of age
in the case of the chairman and not less than
35 years of age in the case of the National
Commissioners
“There shall be for each state of the
Federation and the Federal Capital Territory,
Abuja, a Resident Electoral Commissioner who
shall (a ) be appointed by the President
subject to confirmation by the Senate (b) be
a person of unquestionable integrity and shall
not be a member of any political party and (c)
not be less than 35 years of age.
“The Commission shall have power to (a)
organise , undertake and supervise all
elections to the offices of the President and
Vice President, the Governor and Deputy
Governor of a State, and to the membership of
the Senate, the House of Representatives and
the House of Assembly of each state of the
Federation.” |
former Governor of Anambra State in the
defunct Third Republic, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife,
has said President Muhammadu Buhari’s
appointment of Dr. Ibe Kachikwu to head the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation was not
enough to satisfy the South-East.
The President had on Tuesday relieved Dr. Joseph
Dawha of his appointment as the Group
Managing Director of the NNPC and appointed
Kachikwu to replace him.
The new NNPC’s GMD is from the Igbo-speaking
part of Delta State.
But in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH on
Saturday, Ezeife insisted that the appointment did
not undo the alleged lopsidedness of President
Buhari’s appointments so far.
He said, “It is not atonement for the many
neglects and insults that have happened with the
National Security and Civil Defence Corps, the
Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety
Agency and other agencies. How would a
President appoint people into key positions in
Nigeria, yet none of them is Igbo? What kind of
thing is that?
“On merit, we have the best people in Nigeria and
that is not boasting. On motivation, it is the same
thing. If Buhari wants to ignore federal character,
we are not begging him for any appointment.
“And it is good for us to know where we belong
and make appropriate adjustments. It is not a
matter of whether Nigeria appreciates us or not.
If they think we have done enough and we should
go, there is more where what we brought to
Nigeria came from. It came from God and we are
not going to throw it away. If we go away, we
leave with it. We like Nigeria, but one cannot
insult and treat a group as if they don’t exist.”
The Igbo leader also described as unfortunate the
ethnic segregation in the country. According to
him, if a person from one region disagrees with
another, there should be a less vindictive way of
expressing it.
The elder statesman further decried the
development in the House of Representatives,
where every region except the South-East got a
principal position.
“I have found that only a very insignificant
minority of the Igbo people are saying that they
have packed all their eggs in one basket; voting
or no voting for any person has not been of
consequence to our people. They went for
elections and voted as they should and they are
proud of it; they can repeat same tomorrow,” he
added. |

Osun State Governor, Mr Rauf Aregbesola
weekend for the first time spoke on the death of
the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade in public
since the reported death of the monarch in a
London hospital.
The governor disclosed that the last text message
he received from Oba Sijuwade was touching and
promised to share the content of the message
with the people of the state at the right time.
Aregbosola
Speaking at a Special sitting at the Osun State
House of Assembly to mark the 50th birthday of
the Speaker of Osun Assembly, Hon. Najeem
Salaam, the governor explained that he discussed
the message with the Ife Royal Traditional
Council during his meeting with them in Osogbo.
Aregbesola maintained that a traditional ruler
does not die in Yorubaland and prayed for long
life for all the traditional rulers present at the
Assembly to felicitate with the Speaker on his
golden jubilee birthday Anniversary.
Describing the Speaker in glowing terms,
Aregbesola said Salaam deserves the prayer of all
as he turns 50, saying Osun at this stage needs
quality leaders to steer the state to the desired
level among states in Nigeria.
“The effective leadership we have provided in this
state with the massive delivery of people oriented
programmes could not have been without the
appropriate cooperation of the House under the
Speaker.
“It is therefore pertinent to note that the Speaker
has been a major factor in the delivery of good
governance and this we are optimistic will
continue.”
Aregbesola commended the Speaker for providing
effective leadership for the House of Assembly
through passage of various laws and other
oversight functions for the smooth and
unhindered progress of the state. |
