The FAQ Post on Stella's Blog attends to serious questions that require proper answers..... So we say ''Ask and you shall be answered'' if there is an answer.
Please no love questions here......
''Dear BVs I am thinking of starting a bespoke fashion line for corporate and trending outfits(online store on IG). The challenge is that I live in the North and my target market cuts across all states, including Lagos and the likes. Will it be possible to capture the Lagos market even though I am in the North? Also will this line of business thrive?''
Another asked....
''Hi BV doctors in the house, please what causes severe Jaundice in infants and how can it be prevented?''
I just started selling organic soap but my challenge is where to get those small white cups in 200,400 and 600 mg.Any idea anyone on how to source for it in Abuja?
ReplyDeleteGo to any chemical shop I'm sure you'll see them, we have them lots here in PH
Deletego to utako market
DeleteOk.thanks a bunch @ ijeoma PH and beebumble
DeletePoster one, let me not lie to you. It will be very challenging. Once I see that a seller lives just in Ibadan, I leave their page. I live in Lagos and I believe a good number of people are like that too. Except it’s a very scarce item. Shopping online means comfort and convenience. My attitude to you will be “don’t stress me pls”.
DeleteIf you’re ready to try, give it a go. Or maybe focus on the Abuja market.
You might not conquer the whole Nigeria at once. Know that and know peace. Focus on target markets or be a person chasing after numerous rabbits and catching none.
All the best hun.
Go to Utako market, ask people to direct you to plastic line.
DeleteAsk of Chukwudi in plastic line at Utako market, they have so different varieties and sizes of containers.
DeleteLike I always say, be good at what you do. When people see your work and are impressed, they will patronize you from wherever they are.
ReplyDeleteEndeavor to use good/quality fabrics.
Also, when venturing into this business, do not expect to sell out once or expect to make so much profit. You’ll need patience.
Be consistent and try to be spontaneous. And yes, it will thrive by Gods grace.

DeleteGudafternoon bvs, i am 5month pregnant. D issue now is am addicted to drinking cold water when am thirsty. Plz my question is will it hav effect on my baby.
ReplyDeleteMe too and soft drinks
DeleteCold water will not affect your baby.
DeleteCold water will not affect your baby please you can join askthe gynaecologist on Facebook and ask the doctors dey can answer all the questions you need during your pregnancy
DeleteI drank cold water a lot when I was pregnant. My baby was very healthy when she was born to weeks ago but she has cattarh now though which I believe is as a result of exposure to AC and not the cold water I drank when I was pregnant
DeleteNo bad effect. U crave for cold water because of the hot amniotic fluid where d baby swims in d uterus, making u feel warm inside.
DeleteDrinking cold water while pregnant, will not affect your baby. Drink on.
DeleteI drank cold water all through pregnancy and after. Nothing bad happened.
DeleteCold water will not affect your baby though my mum will always advice, once you enter your 9th month, you should cease drinking cold stuff and rather take warm water instead. You should also be taking your bath with warm/hot water. Her reason is that cold water delays labor, I don't know if this is scientifically proven but I do adhere to it once I enter my 9th month.
DeleteMy own is even block for all my children. I have one very effective flask that my husband always break block in every morning. I will eat the block all through the day and my children are healthy.
DeleteMhiz A, u are absolutely correct.
DeleteNo it won't, I drank cold water throughout and post pregnancy, nothing happens.
DeletePlease doctors in the house what can I do to help my exclusively breastfed 2 weeks old baby that has cattarh?
ReplyDeleteAsk your doctor to recommend saline nasal drops for babies. Also him if you can use rubber bulb syringe or suctions.
DeleteThanks
DeleteDon't give any thing else. Just intensify breastfeeding. Breastmilk have a lot of antibodies that will help the baby fight infections like cold, cough and catarrh. Cover baby well, especially d feets, chest and head. Avoid dusty environment, do not keep baby directly under d fan or AC. U can get eucalyptus oil and add little drops to baby's bathing water. If it persist, see a paediatrician
DeleteLike Phoenix said, get the bulb syring and nasal saline spray (I use calpol saline spray).
DeleteWhat can I do and when can I do it to get my tummy to go back to the way it was after a cesarean section birth. I had the CS 3 weeks ago
ReplyDeleteMadam don't stress yourself that much. You will be fine. Reduce carbohydrate food.
DeleteYou'll have to wait for at least 6 month, get us to drinking only warm water
Delete"Get use to "
DeleteAllow your body to go through the normal process to heal. Bodies are different, do light exercise especially kegel exercise, eat fruits and vegetables. You brought in another human so please dont pressure yourself. All the best
DeleteMadam u just gave birth take it easy first please. Firstly cut down on your carbs you can substitute it with more proteins, vegetables, unripe plantain etc
DeleteSubstitute your garri with oats if you can afford it oats helps a lot during breastfeeding then avoid carbonated drink in fact run away from it with time you will see the difference
Poster, it is still very early. Just dwell on ur joy, ur baby. After 6weeks or so, we can talk about it. Continue on ur warm water therapy (bath and drinking)
DeleteThanks all, @ pwetie I will be back after 6weeks
DeletePls who has done Ivf with a donor egg before? Did you also prepare your body before the process?
ReplyDeleteOfcause. Ur uterus has to be prepared. U'll need a balance of d hormones to carry d baby to term.
Deleteplease Doctor in the house, what can I use to cure 3year's old baby veejay. it's used to smell like rotten eggs
ReplyDeletePls take her to the hospital. Is it even possible for a 3 year old vaginal to smell talk more of smell like rotten egg?
DeletePlease visit a doctor
DeleteWho is touching her? Cos it's not possible, or is it?
DeleteYou may not need to visit the doctor just yet. How do you wash her down there?. Give her a bath twice a day. Make sure she squats, use your palms to gently wash her privates with plenty of clean water. Observe for one week if the smell continues pls visit a doctor.
DeletePoster, see a doctor in d HOSPITAL
DeleteHope she doesn’t have vaginal infection?? And yes see a doctor ASAP. That’s not good at all especially for a young child.
DeletePlease take her to the hospital ASAP.
DeletePls my people help me ooo.my son of 11year old's penis is still very small.is there anything I can do to help it become bigger like his mates?I don't want girls to use it to mock him when be is old enough for marriage.
ReplyDeleteOh please he is not a teenager yet! Some children are late bloomers. Leave his penis that way. Its rather early to put such ideas to an 11 year old. Allow him grow pls
DeleteMadam leave the young man alone. There are more important things in life then fcuk matters. Tankio
DeleteIf he inherited it, there's nothing u can do...else let him grow abeg.
DeleteHow is his father's own😒
DeleteMadam, that child is still growing. Take ur eyes of his penis because there is absolutely nothing u can do about it. Stop worrying for nothing.
DeleteThe thing is na mama dey determine size of penis
Delete@Spanish na mama dey determine size of her son penis not father.
DeletePhoenix how?
DeleteAt Phoenix, NO not always. Per google based on y(male) and x(female) chromosome, If size was entirely from the Y chromosome, men with the same father would all have essentially the same penis. But if size is largely due to the X chromosome, then it’s possible for one son to inherit penis size genes from one X chromosome, and one from the other.
DeleteIs anyone into stockfish business? (I mean whole saler) how much is a bag, I want to dive into the business.

ReplyDeleteMy baby is just 4 months and we intend travelling to Europe for the first time together to visit her father.i want to know if I need to get a seat for her seeing that she won’t need it,or how’s it done?are toddlers allowed to travel for free?
Our journey is in 3 months time...
Babies less than 1year do have special discounts and can even be free dependingon the policy. Baby will need a seat.
DeleteYou will pay a token and you will be seated at the front role with adequate leg space. Your baby will not get a seat. But you will be very comfortable through out the trip. When I travelled with my 1 year old back then on Arik to UK I carried her throughout but I was very comfortable through out. And she played while walking in the plane through out the trip. The air hostess saw something that day. She scattered everywhere. And they gave her so much to keep her busy.
DeleteMy period is late,4 days late was suppose to start on the 10th...same last month too..
ReplyDeleteDo a blood PT if its 2 weeks late..
DeleteIf you are sexually active pls run a pregnancy test. A strip is just 100naira
DeleteIf u were sexuality active within d last two/three weeks, u may be housing a baby in ur body now. If not, no need to worry, sometimes periods delay due to sudden changes in our normal daily routine, emotional States and even diet. Not to talk of sudden change in weight
DeleteBV Perxian please why were you not allowed to hug your friend that lost her baby at 6 months pregnancy? I am asking cos a very close friend had a stillbirth 2 weeks ago and I visit her everyday after work. People around give me one kind look,one of our friend told me to stop visiting her bit I wasn't worried till I read your comment.
ReplyDeleteI am heavily pregnant
Becos u are pregnant you should stop visiting her???
DeleteI dnt see anything wrong oo. I dnt know but i see nothing wrong.
I was told my presence would torture her more and might even set off grief contractions for me. This is from doctors not just random people.
Delete@perxian possible. Poster don't stay away from ur friend, she may think u feel she is bad luck and don't want to come close.
DeleteBv with child with Jaundice: It is caused by excess bilirubin in the blood-a yellow pigment in blood. Also when a baby's liver is not fully developed it will be unable to break haeme a byproduct in the synthesis of haemoglobin.
ReplyDeleteMy advice during pregnancy eat foods rich in Vitamin D, Omega 3, Fruits, legumes and vegetables.
Frequent breastfeeding of your newborn will help baby reduce excessive bilirubin. Phototherapy or early morning sunbathing of babies between 8am - 9am for 2 days is enough. Follow up with your doctor to check progress and follow tests as well. Excess bilirubin is dangerous and can affect the brain. All the best
There are many causes of Neonatal jaundice and some may not be avoided. Like in d case of blood group incompatibility. When d baby takes after d father's blood group, that is different from the mother's, it may spark up reaction, causing excessive breakdown of d baby’s red blood cell, leading to overload of bilirubin which d baby’s liver may not be able to eliminate. The high concentration of it in d baby’s body results in jaundice. My advice to mothers is that they check baby’s SB after birth. Dont always be in a hurry to go home. And if baby have jaundice, await and get it treated. Dont go and sun d baby at home
DeleteExactly, mine was caused by blood incompatibility, he took after his father's blood group. We found out on day 10 and he was given blood by his dad. This is my experience
DeleteGood afternoon my BV’s fam. Please where can get good local rice at a good price in Ajah/ sangotedo area. I usually buy from a bv at Abakiliki but lost her contact. Please help a sister Oooo ( Please Lilian if you see this, it’s me Your name sake)
ReplyDeleteGood local rice is plenty in Ajah market nah...
DeleteMine is recently I started craving for nzu..
I cant remember the last time I took that shit..
Who knows where I can buy them in any Lagos market...
This is bad!
Go to all these women that sell igbo foodstuffs they sell. It shows that there is something wrong somewhere when you suddenly start having these cravings. See your doctor.
Delete@Queen and boss. You can get nzu stone at the ebeano supermarket's village Market.
DeleteQueen and boss pls visit your doctor or do a pelvic ultrasound, craving nzu is a sign of an underlying sickness most times
DeleteYes yes and yes, dear bespoke poster, what u need is belief, hardwork, differenciation and consistency, oso kwa gi noro na sambisa, u will still make it,(eve if u operate from sambisa) just do ur thing, don't copy anybody. There are lots of clothing line on ig more will still spring up, and people are making it.
ReplyDeletePlease doctors in the house, my a year and four months old always sweat profusely. As in the sweat soaks the bed and everything around her.she doesn't put on clothes to bed and even in church or out, I have to pull off her clothes, because she'd be sweating and uncomfortable. Could this be a sign of any issue?
ReplyDeleteCould be many factors: overactive sweat glands, spicy foods, playtime, hot weather. Use lightbed sheets and remove any thick clothing or blankets. To douse your curiosity, please see a doctor.
DeleteThe weather is hot nah..
DeleteCant you feel the heat yourself?..
Nothing is wrong with your baby biko..
She need constant AC
Spicy food! I used to sweat anyhow before
DeleteDear bvs please how can I cure this constant UTI that's been tormenting my life. I have it on and off for more than six years now and it's causing so much discomfort, I'm barely able to sleep well. Please help me I'm tired of taking antibiotics and it's not sex causing it cos I've had sex in more than 4 years, neither is it hygiene or lack of it. Pls
ReplyDeletePoster go and see a doctor. And please stop self medicating. I say this everytime on this blog. Now the microorganisms will build resistance against antibiotics. Go and see a doctor. Self treatment will not help you. UTI is not something you keep to yourself.
DeleteUTI is not caused by sex. When you touch your anus & touch your vulva(urine hole) at the same time, bacteria from your anus getting there is what causes UTI.
DeleteNow, stop washing your anus towards the front, wash from the back(your bum) & wash your hands with soap & water immediately.
Secondly, repeated UTI is very dangerous.. you need to see a doc for proper treatment because prolonged UTI can lead to kidney issue, back pain, PID etc.
Got to the hospital right now & complete the dosage of whatever drug you're given!
Stop using toilet seat,
Delete@unknown, firstly throw all your panties away, get fresh cotton panties, change all your trousers and jeans too and also stop antobiotics. Chew bitter kola and thank me later
DeleteDo you wipe from the back to the front hole? If yes, please stop. A friend had same issue she wipes from her ass down to the hole, as soon as she stopped no issues.
DeletePlease see your doctor fast, constant UTI could be as a result of kidney issue.
DeleteThanks a lot guys.I appreciate your response, may God always keep everyone of your in perfect health. Thanks Stellz for this medium.
DeletePlease can a three month old baby take custard/pap?
ReplyDeleteAnd if she can.please which milk can I use in feeding her with the pap/ custard?
If you cannot breastfeed exclusively feed her formula until she is 6 months before you introduce pap.
DeletePlease don't give a 3months old pap/custard. Just get a baby milk for less than 1yr and give d baby. U can give this and also continue breastfeeding, except u are not breastfeeding.
DeleteI hate custard with a passion!..
DeletePlease dont feed your little baby that poison!..
Pap is better!..
You can start from 6 months with any follow on milk..
The only meal the baby need now is breast milk or formula!..
During my child bearing time,I used SMA gold..
That was several years ago..
I dont know if the milk is still in existence but you can ask other mothers what they use now..
Homemade pap is better, too much preservatives in custard.
DeleteYou can add Nan or My boy formula to the pap. No sugar please.
We were told not to feed baby anything but breastmilk or formula for at least 6 months because their digestive system is still developing and can't handle it. Pls don't give ur baby yet.
DeleteIf you do not want to do exclusive breastfeeding, yes, a 3 month old can take pap(not custard pls). If possible, please try and process the pap yourself as your baby is still very tender. Also, when preparing the pap, make it slightly watery.
DeleteFor the milk to use, there are many in the markets but the ones I have used are NAN and Peak 0-12. So either you buy NAN 1 or you get peak 0-12( not peak 123) ooo
All the best.
Please don't give your baby anything else apart from breast milk or age appropriate milk to avoid digestive issue till he/she is 6 month. Home made pap is even better and cheaper than custard. God will provide for you.
DeleteIf the breast milk is not enough for him, you can give the baby pap with milk no sugar o.
DeleteNo shaking.
Please, lawyers in the house.Throughout a divorce process, does one need to be present in Nigeria for the preceeding? I don't have my papers yet so I cannot leave the country I am at the moment. My Ex lives in Nigeria, but we have both decided to move on after so many years apart.
ReplyDeleteIn your case, you can give a written authority to your close relative to carry out the divorce proceedings on your behalf.
DeleteNo. You do mot. Except your lawyer insists that you have to be present to give oral testimony. If the matter isn’t too contentious and your husband isn’t contending many issues, you don’t need to be around
DeleteDear bvs, i am currently pregnant in my third trimester and i discovered i have vericose veins on my legs. Those green lookin veins that bulges out of the skin. I hate the sight of it. Doctor said its as a result of my pregnancy. What can i do to correct it or would it go after i put to bed?
ReplyDeleteIt will go after birth. It is as a result of pressure on ur lower limbs which will definitely ease up afterdelivery. U can do cold or hot compress to reduce the pain, depending on which one suits u
DeleteI think you should concentrate on having your baby first. Vein or not, you're carrying a whole human in you, many things are bound to change your body. Happy delivery ma'am! 💋
DeletePlease who is into honey business? Is there profit in it?
ReplyDeleteI also need original honey, do you sell and where is your base?

DeleteI need a speaking partner for IELTS and please how do i excel in the map reading aspect of listening. I am finding
ReplyDeleteit difficult
D secret to getting a high band score in listening is constant practicing. Know more synonyms and the different forms in which word can take. Practice spelling correctly, if possible, put off ur prediction option on ur phone, concentrate and pay attention to word limits. Short word answers are somehow similar for Reading and listening . As for speaking, practice talking about ursef to people u can talk freely with, using idioms, and words that express how u feel.d speaking test is mostly about u, and maybe trends sometimes. Know how to talk eloquently about ur work/school, environment, ur house, whether, experiences etc. When u practice offten and very well, what u will see on d exam day will be a walk over.
DeleteFor map reading, which u may not even be given on that day. Before the audio starts, note all sides of the map, that is, north, south, east, and west. Look out for labels like main entrance, door, street, 'start here' etc. Take note of the labelled places before d adios starts. Pay attention to instructions. Also pay attention to directions and relationship between two things, eg, A is behind B, etc. Just practice more, and always go back to redo the ones u didn't get correctly. I wish u success
Delete1.You need to practice practice and practice. YouTube will be helpful here.
Delete2. Make sure you identify the starting point before the speaker starts and then follow as he speaks by indicating with your pencil key locations.
3. Be careful of your village people. They come in form of distractions. That’s when you will remember the fried rice you left at home or the meat pie you are craving.
Good luck😁
You can download the app, its also useful. Ensure you go through the app reviews to make a choice
DeleteDoctors in the house please help. I don't know if I am normal. I have not had sexual intercourse before and I have a very tiny opening in my vj. It's not even possible to put my smallest finger through. And most times when I am on my period and a big blood cloth wants to come out I feel it.
ReplyDeleteYou are normal. Take hot tea while on your menses. It helps with the clot blood
DeleteLeave ur vj opening alone. U don't have to inspect it.
DeleteI had the same issue. Don't worry, the vagina is like 'pleated skirt'.it will expand when it needs to.
DeleteThank you anon and Elaine. I am relieved. @pwetie I like checking to make sure everything is ok
DeleteDon’t worry my dear.
DeleteWhen you are sexually aroused, the place will open and be moistened naturally. No matter the size of the gbola, it will enter.
Just relaz and be taken kiaruff
Testing
ReplyDeletePlease how do i get POF for visa application
ReplyDeleteI have half the amount in my account but i need extra 10m to proceed

Extra 10m? For what country?
DeleteYou can try borrowing from renmoney and the likes. Or if you have a friend or family member that can help.
DeletePls can someone help me,I have lices what is the home remedies, am feeling so uncomfortable I can't sleep at night
ReplyDeleteWell, I saw someone use methylated spirit before. She sectioned her hair and massaged it with spirit, then left it for 2 hours or so.
DeleteAfter which she washed it. She claims it worked. You can also check YouTube for other home remedies.
Google home remedies for head lice
DeleteHELP!!!! Why are accountants very stingy, penny pinching misers? Argh!
DeleteCut your hair
DeleteRetouch your hair
Use Dettol and cotton wool to clean your scalp.
Use hair dryer for your hair and comb out the eggs.
You need someone to help you.
You have lice where? Your hair? If it is your hair..Dont cut your hair. Mix Coconut oil and good old vinegar together. Oil will cut oxygen supply and vinegar will kill both eggs and nymph of the lice. Then use a nylon bag and put around your head. It must be airtight and tie a scraff and sleep overnight.
DeleteIn the morning, wash off with shampoo and use hair conditioner and leave in your hair for some minutes. Then comb out your hair by patting it into smaller sections(ask someone to help you). Rinse again.
Repeat the whole process on day 2. And its goodbye to lice.
Just relax your hair and wash your sheets with hot water and antiseptic. Dry your mattress also
DeleteGrinded camphor mixed with original sheabutter. Apply every week on your scalp, cover it with nylon or shower cap for some time atleast an HOUR!,then wash off with hot water and massage again with sheabutter only.
DeleteDo this every week for atleast a month, make sure it touches ur scalp well.
It works.
I’m a single mom of 3. I have 9m saved up and I’m thinking of relocating abroad with those kids primarily for their future. However, my siblings are advising me otherwise that I should stay back and invest the money in a viable business that in the long run, it will be more worthwhile than relocating. What do you all think please?
ReplyDeleteIf u can get a good job in a country like Canada, pls for the sake of your kids, relocate
DeleteRelocate NOW. If I have the opportunity, I can even relocate to Addis Ababa.
DeleteMY DEAR, RUN !
DeletePlease my dear relocate ,depends on the country you want to also.
DeleteMy 2cents
Why are you shouting upandan that you have 9m???
DeleteHave you prayed about it??
Anyway, my sister, forget viable business o
R. U. N!!!
Try schooling in UK with scholarship.
Try US Visitor visa (but this is very tricky because with 3 children, it will be difficult for you to maneuver your way without papers)
Continue saving but start Canada express entry now.
Go to Scandinavian countries to study for free (but cold weather and language barrier may be a problem for you).
Australia also has express entry, a sound economy and very friendly weather. It’s very good there. Google and study it and try it.
All the best but R U N!
Shave off your hair and start all over with good shampoo and conditioner every 2weeks
ReplyDeletePls if u have lice on your hair please cut your hair pls after cutting you can then relax please

Please dentist and medical personnel in the house I need your help, I am in severe pain at the moment because of hole in my tooth,I am considering a root canal tomorrow but right now I need a powerful pain relieving drug. Note I am a nursing mom and I have taken diclofenac
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone can prescribe a drug over the internet especially since you're currently nursing.
DeleteTry and gargle your mouth with warm water and salt or peel garlic and squeeze the water in the hole.
Best bet is to remove it.
Pele
Tooth pain is painful 😭😭😭

ReplyDeletePls I have a career question. I hope you respond. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI’m a lawyer of well over 5 years but I want to go into core business in the corporate world now. Starting at MBA at Lagos business school looks almost unrealistic because of the very high costs.
I’m pursuing my LLM at Unilag (just for the degree)and some other law related courses but I really want to change careers to Branding/Strategy/Business process improvement etc in a multinational.
How do I start pls???
My advice will be. Why not take up major on branding/Strategy/Business side of the Law. Check out any professional courses that also specialize on what you want to venture into since you don't wanna do MBA.
DeleteIntl professional course will give you an edge. I hope this helps. You can check certedgetrain on google for more info.
Pls I have a career question. I hope you respond. Thanks
