Food for thought...

A few days ago, I stumbled upon the story of a 25-year old married woman with three kids. She lamented being not taken care of. She is a full-time housewife and here are the two things she said:

1. The failure of her husband to keep his promise to help her further her education.
2. Marrying early enough because her parents are poor.

I had mixed feelings for her: one, I sympathized with her over her ordeal. Second, I said to myself "What's even wrong with some ladies these days?"

However, I would like to advise the single ladies.

Ladies it's high time you came into marriage with some level of financial strength. That's what I have always advocated for because should the husband not live up to the responsibility of providing for the family or decide to divorce the wife for God only knows what, she won't suffer so much. Some men are something else these days. Please be wise.

Secondly, I have said it times without number that the training of a child in school is the parents' responsibility. No lady should ever blame her husband for not helping her further her education. Of course, a lover or husband may help if they choose to, however, should they be unwilling to do so, the wife shouldn't be angry at him. The persons to be angry at are her parents.

However, If you are a lady whose parents could not send to school or help further your education due to financial challenges, that's okay. You're not alone in that. However, here is my advice: get something to do, save money and send yourself to school. Many ladies are doing just that without the help of their parents or a man. If you parents were unable to do that for you, shouldn't you do it by yourself?

Thirdly, I have said it also countless times that marriage isn't an escape route from poverty. It's not poverty alleviation. No lady should marry because she is from a poor family or because she can't feed herself or because she would like to further her education. A lady should marry because she wants a husband and she is ready for marriage. Do you understand that?

As a lady, if you come from a poor family, no problems. You're are not alone in it. There are millions of African ladies from such families. All you need do is to get a life first and not a husband.

Sometime ago, I met a young lady from a poor family who married a man earning around a monthly salary of 70,000. In that marriage she forced her husband to cater for her parents and siblings also. My question is: what's the value of that sum of money? Each time the husband failed to meet up with that extra responsibility, the wife made the home a living hell for him.

Now, is it a bad idea for the husband to cater for his wife parents and siblings? The answer is NO! The issue here is that the income is too small to do so. What the wife should have done was to get something to do and help augment the family's income thereby making sure her parents and siblings are also taken care of.

Dear friends, if you are a low income earner, these days it's unwise for a wife to be a full time housewife. That decision will only make matters worse for your family. Can you see what the cost of living in Nigeria these days has become? Can you see the hike in the price of goods and services?

I hope you have heard me very clearly!

Umbilical cord is the cord that attach baby to the placenta when the child is still inside the womb.

The placenta is the only source where the baby gets nutrients, oxygen, and all the basic things needed for survival for the nine months.

That same placenta is where the baby removes his waste products so that the mother's body can remove it because the child is 100% dependent on the mother.

All these nutrients pass from the placenta through the umbilical cord to reach the baby. The cord is like a pipe connecting both mother and child.

When a baby is born the birth attendant cut this cord and clamp it to avoid bleeding because that cord has connection to the heart and the baby can bleed to death from there.

The baby is said to be separated from the mother once this cord is cut and that baby is now ready for independent life of his own.

The part that is remaining is supposed to dry and fall off within 5-14 days.

📝 HOW TO CARE FOR THE CORD
All you need do as a mother or care provider is to clean with spirit or a chlorhexidine gel.

These are drying substance and it will make the stump dry and fall off on his own.

But no, I heard people are irritated by it, some said it is supposed to fall within two days like how? hence the reason they put salt and other corrosive substance there to bring it down forcefully.

Imagine salt in something as fragile as the cord, the salt eats it up and it fall off by force but the navel of the child will still be sore or will be bleeding because they didn't allow the cord and navel to dry up and close.

As this marvel is not closed because of how it fell off before time, the open wound is exposed to infections of different types and this child start running fever and other problems.

The child cry unnecessary and you don't know the navel is the problem.

Some go as far as forcefully dragging out the cord when it won't fall off.

Cord that is supposed to fall off even 14days after childbirth, but so many harmful traditionally practise have taken over the correct practice.

That your mum did it doesn't make it right. The right thing is to:
** clean the cord with spirit whenever you change your child's diaper.

** clean with chlorhexidine gel( when using spirit you can't use the gel and vice versa)

** Don't stuck in the cord inside the child's diaper, urine and faeces can make micro organisms to grow in it leading to infections.

** Allow air to the cord, it aids drying.

** Stop using excessive hot water to massage a child's cord, it will only make the blood vessels to start bleeding.

** Don't put any corrosive substance like salt, toothpaste, leaves on the cord, that cord will be infected. Even tetanus can affect the child's from there.

** Only if after 14 days the cord don't fall then you can take the child back to the hospital. Funny enough it is very rare for it not to fall.

** whenever you notice abnormal offensive smell oozing out from the cord, take the child to the hospital for examination.

The child is not going for a beauty pageant where he or she have to show their navel, allow the navel fall at it own time.

There was confusion on Saturday at the Great Salvation Christian Centre, aka Father’s Church, on Ako Aro Road, in the Ifako-Ijaiye area of Lagos State, after a man, Iberemu Osadebe, disrupted an ongoing wedding in the church.

He claimed that the bride, Gloria, was his wife.

PUNCH Metro gathered that Osadebe had a traditional wedding with Gloria after they had a son togther.

He, however, became sick for about five years, during which time he sold most of his property to seek a cure.

The Imo State indigene was said to have later travelled to his hometown in Isiala Mbano, where he continued the treatment.

Our correspondent gathered that he was on the sick bed when he received information that his wife of 20 years would be getting married to another man on Saturday, August 29, 2020.

The 43-year-old was said to have developed high blood pressure, which affected his speech.

He returned to Lagos on Friday, a day to the wedding, and reported his plan to disrupt the wedding at the Agbado Police Station.

Upon arriving in the church around 11am, some of the church leaders, who recognised him, appealed to him to let the matter go, which he rejected.

Some members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, who were said to be colleagues of the new groom, identified as Henry, were also invited to mediate.

Our correspondent, who witnessed the occasion, noted that the church adjusted the wedding programme after sensing the building tension.

Fervent prayers were offered against intruders and plots to interrupt the wedding.

The church’s pastor was about to join the new couple when Osadebe’s family members marched to the pulpit and revealed that the woman was already married and could not be joined in holy wedlock.

"I got married 8months ago, my hubby earns 70k monthly while I am yet to get a job, during our wedding ceremony, hubby spent about 580k on the list given to him for the trad wedding, I persuaded my parents to reduce the list but they said it is a must and a tradition.

He was able to raise the Money bag as I wasnt working and I couldn't help financially. After marriage I suggested that he should be sending something monthly to my parent as he do send to his parent too, but to my surprise the reply he gave me was that he didn't owe my parent anything..
..that they have collected all they are entitled to from him, initially I was not angry about that until my younger brother wanted to get married and his bride family gave him list of things for the traditional wedding which is amounted to 400k.

My dad then shared the expenses and told my husband to contribute 120k towards my brother's wedding but to my surprise, my husband said no and told me that my family has collected all they wanted during our wedding and they shouldn't come to him for any financial assistance..
...this got me angry and I told him that he is not responsible. Ever since then we have been living like strangers in the house, he doesn't talk to me, he has just been keeping to himself, and I have never seen him this way before not even in our 2yrs of courting..

Please our mummies and daddies kindly advise me on what to do to savor the situation, I am in between my husband and my family."

THE AMERICAN POLICE KNEELS DOWN TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS OVER GEORGE FLOYD'S DEATH.....
SHOULD THEY BE FORGIVEN?????

Since the death of George Floyd, there have been protests involving burning of houses and properties to plead for justice for Floyd. Social media has been flooded with tags such as and .
It seems our cry has got to the ears of the security personnels as they have openly knelt in front of protesters to accept the fault of one of their own and to ask for forgiveness.
This act has been warmly welcomed by protesters. We hope it is a step in a direction towards ending hate killing of blacks,
We hope this means an end to police brutality against black on "white" soil.
What do you also think of their act? Is it genuine? Are they worth forgiving? Or they did it to calm down the anger among protesters.
