  6. Please I want to know if it is bad to give people you know your old clothes/shoes (that still look good, not worn out ones o). I am asking because I have given a number of people my old clothes and shoes and I have never seen any of them wearing it. So something told me that they must have thrown it away.
    And these are people I know that need these things because I see the clothes they wear, and the ones I gave them are much better.
    I was doing this to help because I feel they may not have the finances to buy. One is my mechanic, another a dispatch rider in my office, another an in-law who is jobless and single, and some relatives who were still job hunting.
    Was I wrong in trying to help them with what I have? Not that I have too much, just thought I was helping them.

    1. Anon 13:28 I feel they might be selling it in form of okrika, everything is possible these days, if not ehn I see no reason why they shouldn't wear those clothes given to them or better still they might decide to give it out too because the clothes might not be their body size or their taste rather.

    2. You can do something with good intentions but the reciepient will see it as an insult;or read an ulterior motive to that act .

      Things like clothes, missionaries and the likes will appreciate more when you pack and send to them for the homeless/less privileged;but someone you know might think it's a ritual you are trying to do;or an insult to them,or more like "so you didn't see new clothes to give them;it's now this one you have been wearing"...

      Just so many reasons;so next time,either gift them money if you can so they get whatever they want,or you gift the clothes to missionaries where you will be prayed for and appreciated..

      Italian cavani.(best luscious cream fabric).

      Irish;
      Cotton
      Wool

      Buy the ones they call STOCK.

      For best stripes; choose Lana.👌

      Delete
    5. @ XP... There's nothing like Cashmere 300. We don argue this thing tire, only to find out that people just gave it that name, welu ya n' egwu ndi mmadu wayo. It's main market Onitsha people that started it. Ask importers, it's only 180 and 220 are the main cashmere.

      Stock is very ok if you can bend down and get quality ones.

      Delete
    6. Nnukwu...what?😭
      Ndi Aba na ndi Tinubu Lagos di egwu.
      I'll call thereafter ask for some refunds then, kai, hope it's not too late o. I used to buy plenty. 300 and Irish cotton was my best bet.

      Yeah stock it is, if you have exotic taste and time.

      Delete
    7. Ndo Nne!
      Don't cry, the matter don tey naaaa. There's another one we call "jonkoso", (it's pure stock) it's very fluffy and shiny like Cashmere 220 but if you don't know, they will sell it to you in place of cashmere. I recommend it for my customers too but I must tell you what's up because it doesn't last like Cashmere. I can't come and spoil my name and handwork by myself.

    8. @nnukwu,you're so right.That Cashmere 300 is for wayo.Nothing like that.

      Look, Martins and so many others won't reply because;
      Most gift card sellers are scammers, nobody wants to soil his or her reputation recommending those guys.
      The dollar market is crazy now.

      2. You have a good card, Amazon yeah but figure is too low, remember they'll deduct their charges,how much will be left?

    1. Please,check Google for plenty recipes on soyabeans.

    2. Add it to your Pap or custard just like you do with sugar or honey..

      Or add to your Garri if you want to soak it with groundnut😉..

      @MARTINS

      Delete
    3. Clean your soybeans and then wash with clean water...Spread on rice bag to dry (thank God for harmattan)

      Then get a clean pot, then fry your soybeans like your groundnut...Continue to fry until it is golden brown or brown tan colour. Then pour on newspaper to cool off...

      Continue till you finish frying the whole batch..Once done, you take to your local mill to grind or if you have Buchymix blender...Put your already fried soybean in the blender and blend till powder form..

      Pour the blended powder into an air tight jar or container...Use for your tea, pap, cereal e.t.c...Great to introduce to your toddler's diet...

      Enjoy

    6. You can do soya milk,soak overnight and wash to remove the back like beans for moimoi, grind and sieve like akamu, put on fire to boil for like 30 mins, add vanilla flavour and sugar. Serve cold .

      Or use it to do awara (tofu) grind like I stated above, but add alum or lime/ lemon, it will curdled after sometime, sieve it and drain the water with akamu clothes, add Maggie, salt pepper onion and tie very well to make sure all water is drained. Cut into desired size and fry. Growing up that used to serve as our meat

  10. Please recommend what can be done, I noticed that if my bf does not talk or after a whole activity his breath changes. Once he brush the breath will feel okay.

    I love yo kiss alot than anything but I want to always be with him with fresh breath. We have already done our introduction and our trad will be coming up in three months time. Is there anything we can do to help him have a fresh breath each time, .

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. He should brush his tongue properly.
      Use mouthwash
      Stay hydrated and always have anything minty in his mouth from time to time.
      Then,lastly he should see a dentist for proper checkup.

      Delete
    2. He has a dry mouth so he needs to be rehydrate and drink enough water to freshen his breath...Dry mouth is a conducive environment for bad bacteria...

      Also he should use sugarless mint flavoured sweets or chewing gum to help

      Finally, he might need to detox like 3 days fruit detox with cucumber and water melon will help a lot...

      Delete
    3. He should see a dentist
      We all should
      I try to go at least once a year
      Sometimes what you’re observing might be a symptom of something else
      How long is his mouth closed before the bad breath?

      Delete
    4. After brushing in the morning,it leaves you with fresh breath. After eating, try to take water or something to refresh it till you get home and freshen up again. It depends on what you eat .

      Delete
    5. He should chew gum, and suck on mints.

      Delete
    6. His teeth may have where food particles hide in such that he may not be able to get them out even after brushing. When the hidden food particles decays, it starts smelling. He should use mirror and check his molar(inner teeth-last teeth) if some things go stocked there or if there is a hole in the teeth where food get stocked. People neglect this but it really causes bad breath. Again he should brush properly, also ensure that the smell is not emanating from the stomach.

      That inner teeth's own is very important. Use mirror and phone torch to check both front, back , inner inner , etc

      Delete
    7. He should use his finger to search if there is hole around his teeth. Finger will help him trace it better.

    1. According to them, they said it is a gradual migration to the new Showmax app so I think that is why you are affected. I think the whole migration ish will be concluded on the 10th or 22nd February.

      Please exercise a little patience...

      Delete
    2. Download a VPN and switch your country location to Nigeria;or any other country for which region showmax is available..

      Another option is to use "Xender" app to transfer the app from someone who already has the new showmax;then install in yours..

      If you have a friend or family whose app store is Nigeria,you can also ask they help you install it in their device;then send it through you via WhatsApp Via "File Manager"..

      Hope this helps..

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Have you tried to know the cause of the miscarriages, spiritually and medically? Adoption is good but you need to be in an excellent frame of mind to adopt a child that isn't yours. It also takes time. Go on a three-day fast with just one question: "Why am I always miscarrying my children when the Word of God says none shall be barren or cast her young?"
      You will get what you are looking for.

    2. You need to speak to a good believing pastor who can see vision to help you out and avert the miscarriage story.
