INSIDE THE MIND OF A WOMAN GOING THROUGH MOTHERHOOD.




Years ago when, I was learning tailoring, I would feel joint pain for days. It was on and off, I was on a lot of painkillers I would miss classes for weeks on end then go back again because of this, I kept on changing tutors. Then one day I was feeling feverish I woke up and I couldn’t move my knees at all they were very stiff and painful I felt so much pain on my lower back that evening, off I went to the hospital I got x-ray done and I was told it was osteoarthritis, I went back to the doctor he prescribed a lot of medications for me and asked me to use them for a while that by the time I was through I will be cured.

I kept on using the drugs and I wasn’t feeling any better and after a while I started experiencing a lot of health issues from uterine bleeding to migraines and all manner so I told a friend about the health issues I was having and she recommended a specialist to me when I saw the specialists he asked for the drugs I had been using and my previous record and I told him .

He screamed at me and asked me if I was educated, I felt insulted and I said yes and he asked why didn't I read the leaflets in all the drugs I was using.

 I was surprised, it never occurred to me. He brought out all the leaflets asked me to read them when I did, I realised I was using different brands of the same drug it's like using Panadol, paracetamol, tramadol and ibuprofen together so I was experiencing the side effects because I was overdosing.

 This was what was causing all the health issues I was having, he told me to always seek second opinion and read about drugs and drug interaction before I use drugs.

He told me medically there was no cure but it can be managed . I was given some supplements to use and I got better over time but when I was pregnant with my first, I stopped feeling any symptoms and I stopped using my drugs and was only using antenatal vitamins.

Years later I started feeling pain in my knees and new supplements where prescribed for me. I was informed about the importance of using supplements as addition to my diet since the typical Nigerian meals are lacking and our cooking style destroy a lot of the nutrients.

Since then I've been taking my supplements and also giving my children supplements the importance of supplements cannot be overemphasized but the major thing is that they have to be prescribed by your doctor.

Do you know that deficiency of vitamins B and C in the body can lead to depression. It is also important to understand drug interaction for example iron supplement should not be used with green tea.

Vitamins such as vitamin D and vitamin C should not be used with others vitamins with higher doses. Some supplements should not be used before meals some should be used after meals .

One should ask doctors all these questions and these supplements are quite affordable and I feel every family should add supplements to their diets.

Very educative write up...I learnt something.. Thank you

WHAT A BLOG VISITOR DID FOR MONEY

Good day Stella.
I saw the post on things people do for money late, so I thought to send you a mail.


When I was in my 2nd year in the higher institution, I had everything going well for me, I had a laptop, a blackberry phone(it was in vogue then) and I was a big girl...the world practically revolved around me.


My childhood friend was getting married and she was selling her asoebi for 10,000.
I initially did not want to buy the fabric because I felt it was unnecessarily expensive, but I wanted to support her.

On my way back from lectures one day, I met a guy who kept toasting me, he wasn’t my type at all so I did not give him any attention but he did not relent, he kept toasting me at any chance he got and was always showing me plenty cash.


I wasn’t moved at first, but later, I thought about what his money can do for me, I can comfortably buy my friend’s asoebi and do lots of things with the remaining money...he was offering me 50,000 to sleep with me...naive me!!!

I finally accepted and we set up a meeting in a hotel very far from town, outskirts of the city.

I left my hostel and went to the location on that Saturday morning, I was very scared at first, but I told myself that by the end of the day, I’ll be 50,000 naira richer, that consoled me.

We met at the hotel bar and we had drinks and grilled meat.
He paid for the room and we went in, this man pleasured himself with my body(I insisted on a condom) and after the do, he slept off.

I went into the bathroom to wash up immediately, coming out, I did not see him again...it was like magic.

I looked around for my phone and wallet, I couldn’t find them...he stole it.
I had 6,000 naira cash in my wallet and my blackberry.
I couldn’t even cry, I got dressed up and went to the reception to complain, the receptionist said she did not see him leave.


They had to call the hotel owner, he asked they re-play the cctv, they did and surprisingly, the cctv did not even capture when we entered the hotel or when he left, I still do not know how he did it.

I felt like the worst fool on planet earth. The manager later gave me back my cash but I lost my phone.
I couldn’t even cry.

This incident helped shape me, because if I had succeeded at this first runs attempt, I would have become a confam runs babe.




Chei, that means he pretended to sleep....  

He might have also planned with the hotel cos i dont know how they will say they did not see him....

FROM FRIDAY SPONTANEOUS POST

''Good morning my people. I want to rant. Is it right for hubby's friends to have access to my kitchen. One of hubby's friend has accommodation problem. When ever he comes late and we have had dinner, he goes into my kitchen to help himself. I think a lady's kitchen should be respected''




I don't see a big deal with him entering the Kitchen to help himself out at alll... which one is a Lady's kitchen should be respected? How did he disrespect it? With this your statement, how will you feel if you are told a woman's place is in the kitchen? Abeg I don't see anything wrong that he has done....change your mentality.

Be careful so you dont cause friction between your hubby and his friend with this your mindset oh.

Just my two cents!

BEFORE DRAWING A CONCLUSION, QUESTION EVERY STORY.

First Story:

A relative of Bongos Ikwue lived in my neighborhood in Maryland, US. The man worked for the IMF and lived with his wife and three children two streets away from mine. One day, he invited me because he had a special guest. When I got there, I met his guest and relative. And that was Bongos. I was so pleased to meet Bongos because I grew up enjoying his music. 

From that moment, Bongos and I became good friends, and we had many personal meetings and sharings. He even invited me to the opening of his hotel in Benue State. One day, I asked Bongos about Miriam Babangida. I had heard the story of how Babangida snatched Miriam from Bongos. 

When I asked the question, Bongos smiled and told me that he had never met Miriam in his life. Shocking!

Second Story:

As a university student, I heard a lot about one Igbo money-miss-road who became a Muslim, so he would get contracts from Nigerian government and that the man became so rich from that. They said he was not educated and that he was just an Alhaji with money and no sense, that his name was Alhaji Abdulazeez Ude. In 1991, I finally met Alhaji Abdulazeez Ude. 

I discovered that he had his First Degree from Oxford University and Masters Degree from Columbia University, that he had a publishing company in the US, that he was Economic Adviser to President Sekou Toure of Guinea, and that he converted to Islam long before returning to Nigeria. Abdulazeez eventually became my adopted father and mentor and one of the most sophisticated and most polished men I've ever known in the whole world. And he sponsored me at Harvard University.

You will hear stories about me, too. I am happy about that. But, listen, if you want to be a great person, you must question every story you hear about people. Little people always peddle rumors and superstitions. Try not to be one of the little people.
