 Food / Re: Oats Meal Is Amazing by zenatta: 2:19am On Sep 07, 2010 |
^^^ regular consumption ( oats consumption in any form) helpful in cases of nervousness, fatigue, mental exhaustion and insomnia. also depression. Oats are uniquely soothing food for the nerves, gorgeously high in potassium magnesium and calcium and lots of B complex vitamins |

michelin89: yes there is, " known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world": she refused to register the bad report. As far as the mother was concerned, none would be barren in the land. Pure emotion, pure force, pure violence in belief! shikena |

Olumogun: yes there will be a revolution, a bad one because when a people are pushed to the wall continuously, but bear it because they are unarmed unprepared and uniformed, one day they risk the little they have to fight back. Its going to happen. People will not always grin and bear it. One day, NAJALYN: the courts would prosecute a wrong done a long time ago, methinks. I don't have ten years to give such an underhand deed, I have here and now and the press, international to boot, and IBB's referedum. Remember the white woman who reported the case of a Nigerian who was selling wild life, a monkey or so along the airport road in Lagos. The Nigerian Television ''carried'' the news, Thats what I need. So great, she got the names of those involved. Like our politicans who behave like agberos in the house, I would like to see the faces of their children Role model, my lastest! |

@ poster I buy jergens ultra healing and original for my daughter. Its great. The shea butter darkens you. I use the ultra healing when I run out of my own cream and it works for me cos I have dry skin however I have to dab a lot, layering . In Nigeria as with most things beware of fake products. I only buy from reputable department stores. good luck on your product search |

gem70: a mon avis, make sure you are one of that ''few' cos it is really , Inked_Nerd: lonely without children and a man. I tell myself who needs those men, truth is I have had enough, but sometimes the Internet is what it really is, faceless and cold and the books I love love love reading will end one day abi, and my daughter will one day go off to perform her own life and the Bible? does disown my lifestyle, ''it is not good that But truth, I am taking all I can take selfishly now, cos when a broda eventually invades my life (ok, a better less hostile word), occupies my life its going to be all about him, ''have you darned my socks'', ''where is my food'', ''come and clean my poo'', and on and on. I can still wait abeg 2 Likes |

thanks reptyle Knotty you may not know it but no one suffers the pangs of the green eyed monster more than the Nigerian women in uniform. You wan try them, ,the police O and those ones in the customs who search you at the airport when you are traveling, any woman in uniform even the air hostesses, useless most of them all. beware of them if you have anything of value that their ancestry would never boast of! |

knotty hi, nothing stops you from suing the police precinct involved. Forget the nonsense about Nigeria being above the law. Do it. Do it for the heck of it. Do it for the humiliation you as a Nigerian suffered in the hands of those who are paid to protect you. when I was much younger and very hot headed I bulldozed people in authority who behaved as if no one would ever dare question them. This was the reason I refused to be a journalist cos I knew deep down that Nigeria was not mature yet and going by your story is still infantile God save this beautiful country I am so so sorry for the brutality you suffered in your 'sister's' hand. Thank God for instant camera. Thank God for brilliant Nigerians like you. I refuse to hate this country |

On my way to work, I could not help but notice the serenity of my neighborhood. The tree lined streets was a sight to behold at all times, I waved delightfully to Mrs Randama who was talking excitedly to out new neighbor in the street. Mrs Ra as she was fondly called was rather a busy body, the street's informant but she was still everyone's darling. I drove out of our beautiful street into the adjoining one where the mother of one of the state governors lived. This street needless to say, was a picture, with terrace houses and pretty gardens. Rent was very expensive here and it influenced the rate landlords asked for my street. Security was good so I tended not to worry. Besides we had a free view of the creme of the politicians who daily thronged the house of mama as the governors mother was referred to. As I hit the highway it was as if I had forcibly entered a nightmare. Horns were blaring everywhere. It was pandemonium as a careless accident had occurred that time of the day 'Here we go again', I muttered as I rolled my eyes and got ready for the go-slow. So much for my one hour free time to get to work! |
| Forum Games / Re: A Story Written By 1000 Authors by zenatta: 6:31pm On Aug 25, 2010 |
sleep was far from me that night. I tossed and tossed in my bed all through. I was slipping. Richard had informed me in the middle of sleep that Jenny's birthday was not until the day after. What was I thinking. Conveniently I blamed the confusion of days to the fact that I had not been at work for two days. I had taken a couple of days off that were due me If I did not get good sleep tonight it would spell disaster cos I had a very important high level meeting in the morning. This was the reason I had taken the days off to make research and to rest as I was getting burned out. Sleep must have come because I overslept, The house was quiet which signified the children had gone to school yet again without my being there. Fine mother I was turning out to be. I dragged myself downstairs for a cup of coffee and toast. Luckily I had about an hour and a half to get to work The company I worked was only about an hour from the house but there was something I knew I had to do. I would go to Jenny's school, I was no longer playing the pretend- I- don't -know- its -your birthday-game! |

As I slowly put on my night gown I noticed the shopping bag from the mall. "Jenny' I exclaimed. I had completely forgotten to give her present. In the morning, I did not have a chance to give her my best wishes because when I oversleep, Risi, my very wonderful helper gets them all ready for school. Because I had wanted a surprise for Jenny I pretended to forget the days before but now something was horribly, terribly wrong Had I forgotten my daughter"s birthday and if I had, why was I let off so easily with no fuss from the children. Risi would not know anything about a birthday because she was new, so I hurried to Jenny's room. I should not have bothered. she was fast asleep. Stunned by the whole thing, I kissed her and pulled the cover over her. I had to go to Richard and Eric's room. the word bad mother was reverberating in my head |

Their joy at seeing me was heartrending. I hugged them closely, held on to them for more than was necessary. The more they tried to wriggle out of my grasp, the more I held on. Much later, laughing at thier stunts, I released them to go change out of my clothes. As I made dinner I could not help but reflect on the events of the day. I stole a glance at Richard. He seems to be a well adjusted child. What was the matter then. However I could not dwell for long on this cos my three musketeers needed my attention. 'Children' I mused, 'always looking for attention' Dinner was a boisterous affair as usual with everyone pitching in. I cleaned up as the children trudged upstairs to their bedrooms. I decided to retire early to my room for a much needed sleep. As I locked up everything I found I was still in a pensive mood. What was eating me up. I decided to shake it off and think of our holiday. |

| Fashion / Re: Would You Let Your Teen Become A Fashion Model? by zenatta: 4:45pm On Aug 24, 2010 |
tpiah: tpiah, can't seem to catch you online. Ba magana, maybe one day. I am a single parent ( how I hate that label). My baby is eyeing Cambridge (its her school putting that idea in her head. Last year she was on a holiday trip to Norfolk England which has convinced her more than ever, So to help her momma, she feels she has to model. Wish it were that straight forward. model, make money and off to college. how about the brad pitts of this world who may hit on her. My preference is Clooney and he can hit at me anytime. Back to subj (did you notice i digressed)?. Pet eng is da bomb but she is a civil person all that measurements and constructions. Did you read the fountain head Ayn Rand? |
| Family / Re: My Husband Spends Money A Lot by zenatta: 4:15pm On Aug 24, 2010 |
my heart goes out to you, but truth is your husband is one of us, spendaholics. It is an illness a mental one that cannot be nagged or wished away. he needs to realise he has a problem and take it from there. Even after prayer he takes action, good intentions don't help. He will need you, a lot but if you arbitrarily take over the management of your finances be ready for a fight and him turning against you because you see we always feel we can contain the situation. Lie. One day you will wake up and no money for food. I am not telling tales by moonlight or have a desire to scare you. Be weary cos he would say sensible things concerning money yet he has no ability to maintain. He just cannot, cos he is horribly handicapped. |
| Family / Re: As A Parent, Can Your Teen Date? by zenatta: 4:02pm On Aug 24, 2010 |
Nope MRbrownJAY: I have educated my soon to be 16 teen but I still say no. When a boy and a girl date in this age what exactly do they do, Homework? What with cable and the sex campaigns.If she is adamant, bobo might want to explore. Why let her loose in this jungle. When she is older, ok. I won't even let her go to parties, ah don't shoot me. Boys will be boys and girls wil be compromised albeit foolish girls. |
| Family / Re: A Born Again Guy Beats Up His Fiancee by zenatta: 3:40pm On Aug 24, 2010 |
once a woman beater, perpetually so. Even the one who yielded only to an altar call. Why, some pastors beat their wives. Any man who beats wont stop except he undergoes a change better still spiritually. I loved a man once who dared. History now, love flew cos my mom had schooled me. I wont let you abuse me anyhow even if it is within the submission order. Wetin,! I know my rights. Love me first, serve me first before I submit |

| Family / Re: She Bedwet At 26 Years by zenatta: 2:54pm On Aug 24, 2010 |
there is underlying physiological problems that has to be dealt with. There is no smoke without fire. a bladder problem yes but not an infection. this is incontinence. I aggree with psychological because we are deep, very deep beings. Dr. Ogaga says St John's wort will do great help. and let her cleanse herself figuratively spiritually and mentally. Spiritual fasting is great for embarassing problems. she should try this too. but first aid, do not eat/drink after six pm. the comfort she would feel would be overwhelming. food is sometimes the culprit. so watch her food, run away from diuretic foods |
| Family / Re: My Sister's Husband Has A Secret Wife - Should I Reveal The Secret? by zenatta: 2:41pm On Aug 24, 2010 |
duh!, she is your sister for goodness sake. I would never advise this if she were unrelated to you but you have every right to protect your sister. This is more than hurting her feelings. This is huge, colossal, massive. The other woman may know her and may constitute a danger to her Aloy_Emeka: If she heeds your advise, and I am her sister, I would, may never forgive her. Her sister is her business! |
| Family / Re: Can A Woman Steal From Her Husband? by zenatta: 2:32pm On Aug 24, 2010 |
last time I checked its called stealing when one takes without permission and has malicious intent. only this morning my friend wanted me to defraud her husband. just a small amt really but good for me I just prayed early this morning to desist from sin and I had done this some years before, helping another friend lie to her husband. it was all so innocent in those days but I never felt calm about it. I was going to steal from my husband, it was the in thing, and it even had a fun name but that was then, I was a child. Now I am no longer a child. |
| Family / Re: I feel A bit depressed by zenatta: 2:09pm On Aug 24, 2010 |
@ POSTER just saw this post for fear of sounding condescending, I hope this is real. Cos if it is I will truthfully tell you that it would get lots worse before it gets better, Once suicide has been contemplated then you are far gone. I have not read the other posts. I would like to so give me time. I am not an expert but do qualify as one cos I am nay was a sufferer. Its like I wrote that post, I wish we would talk, I promised to help anyone in this position, where I had been and had been damaged seriously . I really would love that we talk but cant give my no. here, cos some who don't know the gravity of your problem would call and pester me. Do not give up on prayer. Talk candidly to God. I'd love to speak with you. Don't kill yourself ok |

watchme: [b]Ye![/b] I used to sound just like you until fire catch my ny----coal. Warfare prayer demands that you shout, charge at the enemy. Thank God our weapons are not carnal but God told David to bestir himself. That was when my deliverance came. Of course I hate praying to disturb my neighbour, I'm self -conscious when I have to sing praises out loud so early in the morning,though the Spirit 's been kinda warning me about this my too good behaviour. Howbeit there are periods when you have to tell principalities to keep off cos of your anointing, that enough is enough. Thats when you shout. And Mr busy body listens Recently I stand up to pray. Before this my bed would do, thank you very much. but I ask myself if the enemy were before me now would I lie down fighting? Again, when I want to lovingly speak to my Father, I lie down or kneel. no shouting. Its a love thing. I find real swell things to say to Him, no fighting or charging no foul language just big love between me and my creator. |
| Religion / Re: Listening Into Others Prayers In Church. Good Or Bad by zenatta: 1:22pm On Aug 24, 2010 |
@POSTER For effective prayer there must be a connection. You know when you have connected. Your soul, spirit knows it. And that is when peace comes. When I get to this level everything around ceases to exist. Its just me and the God who dwells in heaven. I don't seriously approve of loud prayers except in bursts of warfare but if I must pray loudly and the unserious person who left home to play busy- body in church is listening, then ,too bad because pray I will. I am not going to condescend to correct his bad unholy behaviour. Wait, till he has a reason to pray,really pray then he will understand the reason why people solicit God. sheilman: abi o |

@ POSTER loved her dearly, stuck to her even to my detriment, believe in her even when I know this could be futile, got angry when my daughter's Ghana teacher bashed Nigeria, got angry with Ophrah, a woman I also love, when she said uncomplimentary things that I knew deep down were true, really hope that all those who give this country a bad name could do just one thing, s t o p . and am not fully Nigerian |
