I can not provide a contact , but I had a question,

are you giving gifts for partcipation in the programme? or gifts for not being HIV + after the check?
Are you including an abstinence encouragement program with this? I know sec students are active, but i feel such a programme should also be careful not to create the impression that its alright as long as you get tested.

Not sure you will be able to find a private enterprise that will do this for free . chances are better if you get a grant and then look for providers willing to subsidize there services for doing this

took the Lagos BRT recently . most say it makes the trip to the island very stress free , just have to figure out getting to BRT and getting from last BRT stop to location on island . Otherwise great improvement over navigatiing the traffic yourself or taking regular Danfo buses

your friends case is one of "ignorance can kill the cat". there are regular birth control pills that are more effective and will be no more expensive than her Postinor popping habit.

i agree with tuba , you need to see a GP , insist on service dont just allow the stomach prodding . do your research and be ready to ask how they have ruled out conditions like fibroids or infections

if you truly believe you have a heavy period I will advise you see a doctor. there are several causes that range from diseases to just what is normal for each individual.

go to the nearest pharmacy and get a pregnancy test kit for her.

Hmmm , later on you will wonder why you are having problems conceiving . Postinor 2 works by confusing your body by preventing ovulation it is mean't for emergency use . If you are taking it frequently for birth control know this

1. It is proven to be less effective than withdrawal method for birth control

2. Only God knows how you are messing up your cycle, i dont even think the drug makers tested its long time effects on someone abusing the drug . It is simply not intended to be used that way.

If you are in a monogamous relatiionship where pregnancy is not the goal of intimacy please see an MD for proper birth control methods there are several cost effective ones.

poverty correlates to lack of education, lack of education usually means lack of access to family planning information , and the ability to tie financial planning to family planning .

Its a Vicious cycle

Poor people give birth to several children, they have no money to educate the children who equally grow up to be poor adults who give birth to several future poor adults

  MEN DON'T WANT WOMEN THROWING THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS AT THEIR FACES!!!AND LIKE IT OR NOT.MOST CAREER WOMEN DO.

while it is never nice to boast , If i worked hard to achieve something I will like to be able to talk about it with pride . Afterall men are ever to happy to talk about their achievements . But, when a woman does that she is pushing it in a man's face. It is equally distasteful for a man or woman to always talk about their achievements or bring it up in every context . However, it is very acceptable for a man to blow his trumpet , but just seen has crass for a woman to blow her's

Men push their achievements (no matter how meagre) down our throats all the time and we pamper, encourage and rejoice with them; so if career ladies throw theirs at their faces they should learn how to deal with it! [b]It's all about guys feeling insecure around successful ladies, they want ego boosters around them all the time and do not care to boost a lady's ego once in a while. Achievements take a lot of hardwork and should not be swept under the carpet to make a guy comfortable![/b]I always encourage sisters to reach for great heights and at same time hold on to that good man who is confident enough to encourage her, wise enough to know that her talk about her career is not being boastful and smart enough to know how to handle her achievements. Unfortunately such guys are rare in Nigeria and I am sure this is what keeps career minded ladies unattached in Naija but believe me career ladies often end up with the pick of the pack! In school brilliant girls are dreaded/avoided by guys, at work career women need to work hard to be recognized as serious and called names when they do well and in relationships the guys get intimidated by them. It's all part of the plan to get the ladies back to the kitchen but it's too late we have been enlightened and empowered by education! Let the guys live with it!
I am not a feminist, I just believe in people doing the right thing and helping one another, our Naija brothers need help

Very good point . I thank God for my man who belives that  I can do more than even I think I can . Career encouragement is a give and take exercise , thats why it is advisable to look for and marry a likeminded person , He gets it when you tell him you want to study for yet another certification, Not - whats all this book you are studying sef

I agree , NL needs to determine what direction it wants to go , rubbish treads on the front page because they attract traffic , or threads that invite intelligent conversation.

NL determine the clientele you want to serve . This is crap

@topic
Most Naija guys are intimidated by well educated girls and girls with good career prospects and this could be reason some ladies do not find partners easily. Most Naija guys would rather date students so they can be lord and master in the relationship. The same guys will still come back complaining about money spent on recharge cards and free meals for their gfs.
Anyway, a girl embarking on building a career should be wise enough to juggle both career and love life at same time so she can enjoy the best of both worlds; it's possible, the key is to stay focused and know a good guy when he comes around.

and we might have a winner!!!!

  not interested in ladies of their ilk

ok we are getting somewhere now , and what is wrong with ladies of their ilk?

isnt there something wrong when higher education makes you untouchable in the 21st century? is there an underlying issue in the society, that needs to be addressed ? are we failing to train our women to both handle a career and a family or are we failing to train our men to handle sucessful women?

the fact of the matter is that education is not the issue , its sucess outside the matrimonial home . Married women who become sucessful after marriage ( and child bearing ) are seen as productive and a crown in a husbands cap , but if you are sucessful before then its " approach with caution"

yeah thats an option.

before someone comes to tell you they are an agent

I am waiting for it to arrive. All i will say is find out if you need to renew it to travel home . I am still getting mixed messages on if you can still use the old passport or not.

the trip to NY is not cheap , especially when the yeye people only ever give an appointment a week away from application, even when i hit the reschedule button the website just gave me the next date a week away.

Ummm very tempting , but na him go chase me comot for house when i start climbing the walls

nothing wrong ,

waiting for the old ovaries , she will age faster , she will be your boss people ( Sauron ) to come and unleash their theories

dont know how long it takes to get a new passport in naija, buts its best he/she gets a new passport . No need to complicate things when they can be very easy. Had an indian friend in the states go through the same problem . he called the US consulate in his country and they advised that he booked the appointment with the passport in which the visa will be stamped. Dude had to expedite a new passport before scheduling his visa interview in Pune

most of the career women I know of, don't lack for suitors.

But many of them are rather picky and some prefer to go after married men.

so I'd say a certain percentage limit their marriage prospects themselves

hmmm a different perspective , picky i expected to hear , married men I did not .I would think that age , education and financial stability would kick against that kind of desperation,

picky maybe to some extent ,but then when people are trying to introduce you to, and get you engaged to every single man around once you cross 26 , sometimes you get labelled as picky by default

Another good advice: there are no rules in love that can fit everybody. Make your own rules (with your partner), build your own relationship according to them. Don't follow other people's example (even if their marriage is great), it might not work for you

love this ,
best

No third parties
Trust him , dont go by the theory that all men are dogs

worst

Dont let your husband know everything
Hide some of your income
Your husband needs to listen to the voice of elders -

if i am travelling alone , i will stay with family, if with my hubby I will stay in a hotel.

ummm this woman that accepts you for who you are , what does she know about you ? your wallet ? You want to leave the wife that stuck through everything for someone else and start having kids again after twenty years ,

are u thinking seriuosly you must like wahala . two wives , young kids at 40 + i see you dont intend to live a long peaceful life
goodluck

kiss your three kids and their mother good nite for me .

I am just exhausted to write the same points over n over again. The topic has been done to death.
Men now know it's suicidal going for a career woman. A man run a higher risk of having a rocky marriage. While everyone knows that marriage can be stressful, statistics have showed that professional women are more likely to get divorced, more likely to cheat and less likely to have children.
And if they do have kids, they are more likely to be unhappy about it.

Many factors contribute to a stable marriage, including the marital status of your spouse's parents (folks with divorced parents are significantly more likely to get divorced themselves), age at first marriage, race, religious beliefs and socio-economic status.
And, of course, many working women are indeed happily and fruitfully married. . . .it's just that they are less likely to be so than nonworking women.
And that, statistically speaking, is the KEY.

For our purposes, a "career girl" has a university-level or higher education, works more than 35 hours a week outside the home and makes more than $30,000 a year. If a host of studies are to be believed, marrying these women is asking for trouble.
If they quit their jobs and stay home with the kids, they will be unhappy. They will be unhappy if they make more money than you do.
A man will be unhappy if they make more money than you do. A man will be more likely to fall ill and even his house will be dirtier.

Kai you are dinosaur , dont know where you are getting your stats from , i just read that nearly 27% of men are marrying women who make more than they do , and especially with a recession where more men have lost there jobs than women. Women are now more and more the bread winners of the household. So if you will prefer a wife who will help you cry and wail if anything happens thats fine . but if you prefer one that says baby iv got this and keeps things going thats up to you o

  My career is very very important, I just hope marriage prospects do not suffer as a result

nothing wrong with that , hopefully there are still men who appreciate a working woman , I strive to a career woman, a yummy mummy and the best mother and wife that i can be , it just requires that my husband be supportive of my dreams

Intel!!!!

hah so while your wife is poping dem babies you are busy chasing Vs when she is on hiatus

  lol artillery fire from left and right.

take cover pitt  

my dear na so i see am o , ask a simple question and get attacked , yet nobody as even provided a reasonable answer to the question.

no one is yet to correlate higher education to marriage prospects, and even provide any advise on avoiding the pitfalls , all I am getting is old ovaries , when i stated clearly that sample set in question graduated at average age of 25

I am Jihadist. . . .I only do Vs.

do you have a V radar that allows you to detect who is and who is not

 Well if you are female which I doubt from the tone of this thread then you will not be saying the things you have said thus far.

I am female , what have i said against females so far , please point it out specifically

U can do better than this.
25-29 is 5 years. 25 is inclusive.
25-26-27-28-29(5 YEARS).

ok my math is wrong , i still pity your wife sha

You'd know  

No you would know , you are the one that has been testing several . I have not had that pleasure
