ekitimanalways:
Go on Tuesday 10th of June 2025.
Shortly after you capture or enrol you will begin to notice changes.

I applied for passport last week and its still showing waiting for approval till now. Meanwhile i selected Monday 16th for capture. Don't know what to do since its still awaiting approval.

ekitimanalways:
If you're lucky you should receive an approval email within days. Should you not receive one a day or two to your enrollment day, you can go to the SERVICOM office for assistance. SERVICOM is a government office that handles complaints about poor service, unreasonable delays, mistakes, etc.

Hi,

Since yesterday been trying to apply online but it's keep flagging the passport attached that the lighting isnt bright enough despite how quality the picture is. Any advice?

LadyG05:

thanks alot

Bringing premium BS gist soon.

Scan EDD:Feb 18th,weight 4.3kg

God's time: Feb 2nd and birth weight 3.9kg
Modified :
This is going to be lengthy...I dont even know where to start from self.
I am using a state hospital and based on recent strike issues, hubby and i decided that I would go to private to avoid stories that touch. Against my appointment date which was 5th, I went to do the tests I am to submit and also use the opportunity to check out the private hospital I intend to switch to. So on Friday 2nd after I finished the tests(scan, Pcv, urinalysis) before heading to the private hospital. Thank God I am learned and know couple of stuff. The scan I did that morning was conducted by a white man, it's meant to be my last scan. All appeared to be normal but then I saw the recorded heart beat on the report given me was 164bpm Hmmm this to me is quite high for the baby at this stage. So after I left the diagnostic something struck my mind to branch the state hospital (it's same street) and see doc. I was hesitant at first that I would wait till Monday for my appointment day, then my mind told me but hospital is just adjacent na, enter and recheck the heart beat.

So i eventually went in,met with the docs and asked they use doppler to help recheck my baby heart beat. They said why? and I told them my scan showed 164bpm and I know thats not normal. One of them asked me to bring out the scan result, I did and they all screamed that madam you are having your baby today and now because he is distressed and even too big for first timer( measuring 4.3kg). The hospital only allow 3.8kg max weight for first timer.
I was shocked that hanhan baby today how? Just check the heart beat for me na and let me go. They refused and asked I go get my file from the office so they can admit me. I was shocked, sad, disturbed, unprepared to say but tried to stay calm to avoid high BP. It was around 1:30pm and the docs told me to decide before 2pm otherwise I am on my own and they will refer me to UCH to go have my vagina delivery since that's what I wanted.
The pressure from the docs was so much that I could barely think. I called my husband to update him, meanwhile the docs were shouting behind me that they told me something and I am still making call... Yelled back at them to calm down, this is so sudden and fast, I just came to check heart beat and you told me something else entirely that I am not prepared for and you want me to enter theater like that without telling my husband? Hubby asked if I wanted the operation in the state hospital and I was like seems there is no time anymore for the private considering situation of things. So I told him to bring baby things.. Lol which of course wasnt complete self cos I was to do final shopping this week.

I went with them to the labour room to be prepared for threater. There they then used the doppler to check for heart beat Hmmm non found, they used the plastic one they put hear on still no heart beat found but in all I tried to stay calm and kept telling myself my baby is fine and my journey or 9months won't be in vain. They kept trying but no heart beat found. Eventually the doc tried one last time and he said it was faint and they need to get the baby out in less than 15mins. My heart sank, I was just like how is all this happening so fast. The docs and nurses were all scared that things could Go south. They told me to keep praying. That it's not their fault oo, I was the one that delayed too much that I was making call...

After they finished prepping me, i was wheeled to the theater and Anasthetic injected into my spine was cut open and blood everywhere only to hear doctor screamed ah it's placenta previa(when placenta is blocking the cervix) . How come?! All my scan from day one till 9months were anterior placenta(front placenta) even the one conducted that morning by the white man was anterior. This really came as a shock. In like 5mins the baby was brought out and immediately he was pulled out he cried even without beating, tear rolled down my eyes. The docs and nurses were so happy he was fine and alive.
Honestly, anytime we feel something isn't right we should take action. Who would have thought placenta was previa? What if I didn't branch hospital that Friday And that's very dangerous if I had refused the cs and went home instead. Anyone with placenta previa is never meant to fall into labor, it's very dangerous to baby and the mother, as the mother can bleed to death. All in all it ended in praise

Don't be quick to assume there was a struggle for the phone, this aboki thieves are ruthlessly senseless with daggers.

very ruthless.
Same way I was attacked with machete In 2016, my head wasn't spared. It was only God that's all I can say.

Atarakpa:
Chaii. I keep telling people don't argue, fight or drag with criminals. Just obey them give them what ever they want and stay alive or injury free. Few days or months or year or years you will get all back once there is life.

Even when you didn't struggle, some are very mean and heartless.

emijo:

greatmutt64:
Please I have an issue I need answers for. I went for scan yesterday I was told my baby is breech at 27 weeks. Please what can I do to turn the baby before the due date am afraid already. Please help

Relax your mind. It's too early to be worried, you still have enough space for baby to play so let baby enjoy for the time being. Moroever you still have grace till 36weeks.

I am sure your baby will take right position when the time is right.

omooba969:
The fact that you were caned in 2ndary school doesn't make it right. I think using a cane on a fellow human is an abuse, as you're literally inflicting pain on the other person.

Abuse is an abuse!

your call. Bye

omooba969:
That's not cool.

oh please
Few strokes abt 2 or 3 is fine.

Not like I wasn't caned while in secondary school too. So dont see cane as evil only see the degree of its use as the evil.

asmovic:
I am a teacher. A principal officer. What kind of brutality is this? These are the principals and teachers that are painting us bad. Justice for the poor boy that was murdered in a citadel of learning. The principal should be handed the maximum sentence. He killed an innocent soul, he deserves that too.

not just the principal but all teachers and prefects involved!

Cos I don't know how twisted their minds are, how can fellow students also join such barbaric act... Tueh

E be things

Few strokes is okay with large portion of land to weed that's enough punishment.

He didn't deserve to be punished like a thief, 105 strokes with sticks that's barbaric.

All those involved should be given time 2 portion of the strokes before take to court and sentenced to death period!!!

FOOTSOLDIER2:
A* A* A* horrible...

thanks

A horrible way to die

LKO:
Madam, please can pregnancy at the early stage cause cold? My woman is always complaining of cold, cant bathe ordinary water. Her midwife says no issue.

Yes very normal.

Same was I Btw 5-9weeks, I was always very cold. I dreaded bathing cos I hated cold water touching me Infact me and water weren't friends. So I bathe 2days intervals with hot water.

It will soon subsides, be understanding as much as u can.

Lannyjoe4u:
I never said I'm female. I even put my gender in my statement Ma

You didn't have money for less than 500 naira condom but you could think of sex? Very funny

Lannyjoe4u:

Similar thing my hubby did 3nights back around 11:30pm.

I was in the second room, went to the toilet ensuit to pee. All lights were turned off prior to sleep mode, Upon return I just saw someone creep out of the wardrobe all of a sudden.
I screamed my heart out, no one told him before he drew close to calm me down cos the shock ehn I never expected him in the bedroom though cos I actually thought he slept off in sitting room or still watching movies.


Just that he is used to my own standing behind door scare so still thinking of my payback

Na rich person dey queue to buy fuel now o.

God bless mukaila the bike man

Timitoyo:
Pls help;

What can I put inside mt baby's wardrobe, I saw a small cockroach inside but heard camphor is not good for babies.

Go to any of farm store (where they sell farm equipment and herbicide) sometimes they hawk it in market.
Ask for cockroach powder, it's just 100naira per sachet, buy according to the coverage area. Pour by the edges of your wardrobe or any other place cockroach is seen. If you have to put in ur wardrobe don't forget to put newspaper on top as a barrier so it doesn't come in contact with ur babies clothes.
Its potency is abt 3weeks /1month. You can always add more powder monthly.

ananne:
Wify and I too have an agreement. We want just two kids. We have in already. We already discussing tying her tubes as opposed to family planning. We will make a decision before the CS is carried out so it can be done during the procedure.

If it's not possible, I will use a condom till I can do a vasectomy. I don't want wify to do family planning because of what it does to some women's bodies

God bless you for this.
If only Nigerian men can be more open to this and not always think it's only the woman meant to do FP without considering how is further distort our bodies

Lastanza:
Don't mind him. He doesn't know what he is saying. You would have to update your phone application to get new updates let alone ordinary meter. Any adjustment only occurs at the point of recharging

exactly

fergieboy:
I mean weather you bought at old rate or new rate

From today your prepaid meter will start reading at the new tarriff

How is that possible? The meters are not online now, so how can such be controlled other than decrease in obtainable unit value.

FeelGoodAlways:
Don't be carried away by drop your account. None of them has sent a kobo.

Reno keeps giving opps punchlines back to back. I lowkey wish my beard turns white like Reno's when I hit late 40s.

I dedicate “We Up” by Black Sheriff to you Reno. I'm one of the few who know you're on Nairaland. I just won't drop your pseudo username.

you can dye it white if it doesn't

Chem2020:
The worst part is that this person may have voted for APC

Even at tht,I am Sure everyone that did are realizing their mistakes. We all should just help one another survive this trying times.

FeelGoodAlways:
Times are definitely not nice to Nigerians. The streets are not smiling. People are not happy. You could see from their sad faces.

I am an undergraduate working as a security guard at night to help myself financially.

So due to fuel situation and the economic effects, I have been trekking to and fro the place, because no money and the transport is very expensive now. Today, I didn't feel very strong to trek back to the place due to malaria seriously holding me down. I approached my neighbor who is earning over 100k+ salary, minus side hustling to help me with transport fare to go to work. Guess what? He started by laughing cheapishly. When he paused, he narrated how he trekked back from work on Friday, trekked to and fro work today being Monday and not sure how he'll get back to office tomorrow morning being Tuesday. That the new transport fare has eaten deeper into his small earning that even before middle of the month, the salary had long gone. Last night, the children drank Garri to go to bed and this morning, the children left to school drinking only Pap and he put only N100 Akara for each in their lunch boxes. Sad story. He added that due to the economic impact of fuel subsidy removal, retrenchment letters for 3 of his colleagues in the office are ready to be served by the end of the month, and more to go.

Who will rescue us, we don't know? Sad truth is that the money that will be generated from this subsidy removal will not be put to use to the benefit of the commoners. It's just a plot to generate more money for the elites/thieves.

Could you believe that nobody could borrow me N500 in the whole compound? Incredible.

Well, even when I wasn't feeling strong to trek coupled with all I'm passing through financially, I just had to trek which I did.

I picked up this job because instead of sleeping freely at night and when the rent expires, the landlord would come after me + plus all the bills heaped on me, I could rather spend the nights here reading my books, sleep (even though not as recommended) and still earn some money no matter how small.

Finally, I would say do well to help people when you can. People are going through a lot. Not untill the start falling in the street.

*In mama P. voice* - "God will see us through".

God bless all hard working Nigerians no matter the tough times we face.

This is something I ponder on everyday and it's quite saddening. It's just as if the government is hell bent on making average Nigerian poorer and the poor becomes pauper...

May God ease our pain
