    1. Some airlines don't allow red oil and anything fish or the likes;but if you wrap it well with old newspaper and seal tape,they won't know and it would go through..

      For others yes,just check it in and you are good..any other thing,don't make them transparent,wrap it cos they are mostly too lazy to start unwrappingπŸ˜€

      Some will unwrap and still stylishly ask you to "see" them and if you do;they would pass everything so long as it's not contraband like "powder" and the likes.

      Hope this helps.

    2. For palm oil, the agric people at the Nigerian airport don't allow it if they site it, they'll seize it, so you'll need to conceal it very well.
      Some countries allow it, some don't, you need to check what your destination country allows.
      You are good to go with all the others on your list as long as they are in powder form and we'll labelled.

      Delete
    3. It’s all possible. I know a lot of airlines do not want to transport oil because of the fire hazard. Maybe try for a smaller container and don’t declare it, 5 litres is a lot.

      Delete
    4. Most of the foods you mentioned can be packaged well and sent (not too large quantities). But palm 5l is much o...and palm oil is considered an hazard (aside fire, it can cause damages & stains to documents, clothes & other valuables). So it's likely you're advised to send through cargo (airlines for goods)...

    5. I can ship for you through cargo. The palmoil will pass.

    1. Enter any bus going from Surulere to Berger/Ojota.
      From Berger or Ojota, you'll get a straight bus going to Mowe/Ibafo, tell the bus driver/conductor you are going to OPIC, that's all. Once you get to Berger, you are 2 bus stops away from OPIC so shine your eyes so they don't take you beyond your bus stop.

  9. Pls how can 1 save money? I live apart from DH because of work but he sends me monthly stipends. I do Osusu to pay School fees( bulk money) January this year he had about 700k and he has finished that money apart from salary. He's not that great with his finance(saving wise) and I am not that great either.
    If I ask him to send money let's save together, he'll ask me to remove from the one he sent me to save for him. I just started 20% saving this month and God help me but I need help pls. I have 2 kids. Buying food stuff in bulk affects my savings. Like buying bag of rice/gnut oil. Pls how can I save without touching it.

    1. Your bank will have variations of savings account you can use for this purpose, one where you can periodically send money to and it stays locked for a certain time of your choice, ask at your bank.

    2. There are You Tube channels dedicated to this topic. There are also many books out there. You have to be committed and stay vigilant. You both need to be on the same page.

    3. You're doing well, don't pressure yourself much. Buying foodstuffs in bulk actually helps you save money, it does for me. I don't know how much your hubby sends you but you can increase to 40% so you save more. (pls don't go & starve because of savings o, good health 1st) Lol.

    4. Look for the book: "The Richest <am in Babylon, by George Clason.
      A Classic and one of the best book on money saving and management.
      Very low priced too (should be between N500 to 2k max). So, do not allow anybody to cheat you on it

    1. All kind of hairs you can think of in this Nigeria is being sold there.
      Human hair,synthetic,blended,Single Drawn,Double drawn,Bouncy,just mention anyone..

      Just bring out your time and check the stores,hold your money tooπŸ˜‰

      They are the distributors of your distributor.

      There is no online vendor that can beat their price,trust me,because the major wholesalers don't even know Instagram or Tiktok marketing;they just started opening eyes😊 recently when they "heard" the profit margin Instagram vendors were making per hair or wig sold.

      Hope this helps.

    7. Occasional drinking that is truly occasional will not affect fertility unless you consumed excessively on those occasions.

      Eat more eggs, avocados, okra. Your husband should be drinking onion juice to increase sperm production. Cut out sweets. Cut out all soy products both for you and your spouse. Soy is known to cause temporary infertility. Try to keep away from things in plastic containers, some plastic chemicals can be hormone disruptors. After ejaculation put a pillow under your hips and stay in that position for about half an hour to allow the sperm the best chance of meeting the egg. Know your cycle and when you are ovulating. Most of all pray. Don’t let it take over your life, don’t become obsessed with conceiving. Take it easy breezy

  19. Good afternoon BVs.
    Please, what places in Abuja can one reside in? I am a female, single, an educator and planning to relocate to Abuja
    I would love to know places that are okay for one to stay. Places the rents and cost of living are not outrageous.
    I would love to know the above and any other information before I take on some given job offers.
    Thanks.

    1. Gwagwalada, Karu, Kuje, Pyakasa

    2. I think you should first consider proximity to your place of work too oo, cos cost of transportation in Abuja too now is outrageous
      But places you can get from 400k for a nice self contained apartment are: Kubwa, Dutse and from 250k, Mararaba, Nyanya, Bwari, Karu, Deidei

      You can also look for Abuja groups on Facebook, then type the type of apartment you want, you will get an idea of the prices

      Delete
    3. Your place of work determines where you will stay. I will advice you relocate first then people around you will advice you better or show you places.
      Most offices in Abuja are in the central. In all you do, please avoid Gwagwalada, suleja or bwari. Living in these places means spending all your salary on transportation except if your office is located there.

    2. Yes is possible that it start from that 13th day beacause sometimes your period will even change from 29 to 28 or the other way round it must not be exactly that 29th of every month like wise your ovulation it will be between 13 through 15 days that's it hope you understand πŸ™„

    3. Will you live together, if you live together will you have your own room? does he expect seck, and what type of seck does he indulge in? will you have to pay him any money upfront? Does he expect you to cook a meal daily? What are his expectations on financial contributions from you into the household? What does he truly do to earn a living? These are the type of questions you have to ask him, even if he says no conditions. Men are not the most honest creatures on the planet. Marriage is a legal thing and he will also be taking on a risk by doing it. Most men operate on a risk reward system, if they take on a risk they expect to have some reward. So if you are considering the business marriage route you have to know what you can handle and willing to give and where your boundaries lies. It’s a risk and once you leave you will be away from all you know and you are familiar with.

      Do not feel pressured to make any quick move. This is your life. Ask all the questions and take into totality his being, upbringing, family of origin and decide if it’s worth it. No matter how much you want something it is perfectly ok to say no if it doesn’t feel right. Always trust your guts.

    4. I hope that guy does not show you shege banza!! Remember you are going to be at his mercy for the first year or two (before you get your residency/spousal visa sorted), or even traffic you because I don't trust this Greek gift.
      Why does he not want to marry you for real? Is he married to someone else? Most people who offer this will require you to pay some money, so you need to find out what his hidden motive is, make your case no be from frying pan to fire.

      The complaint at that time was that there had been no light for weeks so work was suspended, it might be better now though, can't really tell.
      All the 3 different occasions I had to get my transcript from that school were filled with maximum rogbodiyan and all the contacts turned out useless and dragged it out for months.

      Do you mean hair protein? If yes, it's advisable to visit the salon to get it done professionally. You might end up breaking your hair if you use the wrong hair products or if you treat it yourself the wrong way

    2. Most ppl use Aphogee or ORS. Old school women used to mix a stale beer with an egg and even mayonnaise to make a at home mask, put it on their head, cover with a shower cap and do that for half an hour or so. All protein treatments can be drying, so do not do it often and always follow up with good moisturizer.

      Fumigation, also ensure that the environment is always clean.

    2. Fumigate with sniper and seal every hole around you.

    3. My mom spray with insect spray but I always prefer a creature to live their life. I had an entire gecko family living in my bedroom that came out at night, I got used to them and left them alone, eventually they moved on. If you can handle it try to shoo them outside or let them be, only use the fumigation as a last resort.

    5. Stop it anon..lol. I will cohabit with grasshoppers and moths, had some around the place for a while, anything harmless. Both cockroaches and rats can spread diseases and my mortal fear of snakes make those all in the hellz NO pile. But when has a gecko ever hurt anyone, I am fine with spiders too as long as they are not poisonous.
