Selfish Nigerian Woman

The Selfish Nigerian Woman Chronicles: Rants of a Burned-Out Woman Waking Up My vibe is: raw, real, relatable. I'm documenting the dismantling of old systems: marriage, motherhood myths, Nigerian expectations, capitalism, internalized guilt. I'm burning shame in public so others don’t burn in silence.. Not perfect. Just real ... mature, honest, occasionally funny, always liberating. Think Nigerian Aunty who's had enough

Why I Thought I Was Cursed — But I Was Actually Healing

I used to think I was being punished. For the things I’d said. For the things I’d done. For the people I’d hurt, including my kids. For the regrets that followed me around like a shadow. I thought maybe the universe, the planets, or God was keeping score, and now I was paying the price. I looked around at my life and scattered dreams, lost time, no money, a heavy heart, and it was easy to believe the worst: “Maybe I ruined everything.” But lately, a new voice has started to whisper: “What if this isn’t punishment? What if it’s just pain… and pain is part of healing?” The Truth About Me I have said terrible things. I’ve had moments I’m not proud of. I’ve been harsh, angry, loud. I’ve sabotaged, numbed, avoided, lied. And yet I still desire more. Not just money. Not just freedom. I want peace. I want softness. I want to know myself without all the shame. And maybe that’s what healing really looks like: not some perfect version of me, but the messy middle...

Voice of a Wise One (Voice of Reason:)

hey sis, replying to what u wrote on my prikbord, I think like 85% of people dont know who they are so you arent the only one, it's a social problem. I think everyone is still searching, i know i am. Sometimes i am naive and blind to certain things. I even have confidence problems at times even though i know im my own man. I think in these bodies we can never be perfect and its only the search that will show us what we really are. Trust me you are not alone. The way i try to figure things out is by mapping out some kind of planning. not very detailed but very well laid out but my plans are also very vigilant to change and adpatation if you know what i mean. I feel life isnt certain so we always have to adapt you know, things to tend to go wrong at times but thats why i love the way i plan things because i know there is always a way to get back on track.

Omugwu: After Childbirth Who Should Visit Mother Or Mother-In-Law?

Omugwu: Who Should Visit Mother Or MIL? Let mew first explain to you what Omugwu is an age old tradition in Nigeria where after a women delivers her baby, her mother or mother-in-law comes and takes care of her and the newborn until she is completely healed. I'm sure most cultures practise this ancient tradition. What i want to know is who do you think should assist you after childbirth? your mother or your mother in law? I would much prefer my mother come and aid me after childbirth because i know her and she knows me. I've lived with her for a huge part of my life and i know she won't take what i do or say personally read meanings into my words or actions. Women Get Wahala! A lot of women complain about the lack of relationship they have with their mother in laws. on this popular group i joined on Facebook, Some have complained that their mother in law will come and not do anything, just bath baby, while the just delivered mother will take up all other house...

Guidelines to an almost safe stay in China

A Couple of things you need to know before coming to China: What prompted me to write this? I was on nairaland.com and read this piece on a guy who was studying in an Ivy league University in the States. His story was when he first got to the states,his relations whom he relied on to pay his school fees bailed on him and he thought since the university already gave him admission, they would, in his own words “cut him some slack” (dude musta been in la la land or something!!). They didn’t! DUH! Instead they hounded him and even proceeded to withdraw him, but by HIS grace, a church member loaned him the school fees! Whew! Right? nuh huh!! Mr. Stupid only came with living expences from Naija, which he said didn’t get him anywhere because he thought going to the States would guarantee him a study/work visa. He was allowed to work, but only for a couple hours per week. Long story short, he’s out of the storm through working double shifts and paying back the couple who loaned him the mone...

New Mother Had 19 Miscarriages In 6 Years: She took every herb, drug, and concoction available, Yet

New Mother Had 19 Miscarriages In 6 Years. A new mother who recently welcomed a baby girl has told of the hardships she passed through while seeking the fruit of the womb. Sandra Harrison said she was diagnosed with fibroid, tilted fallopian tubes, and hormonal imbalance. Doctors tried all they could but nothing worked. She tried herbalists too but it yielded no result. Her condition saw her go to different places in search of a cure. She took every herb, drug, and concoction available, yet, nothing happened. She said she got pregnant multiple times but suffered miscarriages 19 times. To make matters worse, the hormonal drugs were making her put on so much weight and people will constantly comment on her weight and ask her to watch it, unaware that she had no control over it. Eventually, after 6 years of marriage, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Read, make your comments and contributions and share with friends on all social media platforms.

No more Drama- MJB

As Mary J B once said, No more Drama, and seriously though, i'm done with that. Especially girl on girl, high school drama. It's suffocating when you've meet new people in a new city from different countries cos you don't know what to expect and you have to be careful what to say, when to say what, how to say it, cos you don't wanna offend anyone by saying something that could jeaopardize your new found friendship, cos everyone's got their own cultures and morals and shit! But the things is, it's 2010!! It's the effing 21st century, you'd expect people to not be so principled, and guarded and acting all morally like they better than you and shit! That ain't cool. Take some girls in my school for example, i don't wanna name any names. When i arrived in Shenyang 3 months ago, we all used to hang out pretty much everyday, they'd invite me for lunch, we'd go shopping, clubbing etc... but towards the beginning of September things started...

Golden Morn finally responds. Should You give your baby/toddler Golden Morn? This post was first published on Mama Bear Naija, 2018 Doctors advice that your baby can start solids from 6 months of age. And there are m any moms who are clueless on what type of solids to feed their 6 month old babies, especially when the baby does not fancy pap. Golden morn responds, says not an infant meal This question has been asked over and over again on different forums, Facebook groups et co. And we at Frank Naija Momma exclusively have the answer. “Doctor, can I give my baby Golden Morn?” Over the years this question has been frequent for many Nigerian mothers and Nigerian paediatricians. And we can see why. It’s affordable. For just a pack of 500 gram of Golden morn you can spend less than 400 Naira. It is also simpler to make. However, Golden morn says their product is not for babies. I, FNM, your favorite mummy blogger and investigator, took to Facebook messen...

Congrats on the 40th Sino-Nigeria Diplomatic/Business Relationship

On February 10th, 2011 Nigerians, Chinese and well-wishers gathered in Abuja, FCT, Nigeria to celebrate 40 years of China, Nigeria relations. That should be 40 years commercial trading, diplomatic relations and development of friendship. It should be forty years of establishing an already effective means for us (Nigerians and Chinese) to build up a productive relationship. Before I start to criticize the Chinese government for their lack of interest in Nigerians living in provinces all over China, I would like to point out the help that the Nigerian government has given to the Chinese, in terms of finance, trade and business. Chinese companies like SINOMA AND CCECC have, respectively been given contracts to help build a three turn-key cement projects and also a Lagos-Abuja light railway. In 1971, a couple of after a Sino-Nigeria relationship began, we stood up to outside pressures and fully supported China in restoring its legitimate seat in the United Nations. There are currently 1...
