Have You Heard Of Kangaroo Mother Care(KMC)before, As It Relates To Birth? Meet A Man That Did It.
~1.3 mins read
If you don't know what Kangaroo Mother Care(KMC) means before now, don't feel ashamed because you are not alone. I just learnt of it today. Follow me, let me tell you what it means.
According to available information, Kangaroo Mother Care(KMC) is a pattern of care as it relates to birth in preterm infants. It is mostly done for premature children in replacement of incubator. This pattern of child care in premature children involves infants being carried, most especially by the mother, with skin-to-skin contact(that is, the child's skin with be directly connected to the skin of the mother). This guide is meant for health professionals who are in charge of the care of low-birth-weight and preterm infant childrenGuess what? This method of child care is to last at least 20 hours per day for maximum and effective results.
As challenging as that may be, a man did it for the child. While taking a stroll on my Tweeter news feed, I saw the Tweet on one Tweeter user by the name, "AttahGlobal". On the tweet, the following words, "How it started, how it is going" were written. The pictures revealed a child that is fixed on the belly of a man who from the look of things is the Father. Although it wasn't indicated on the tweet, it is likely to be that, the mother is incapacitated to go through the stress. So, the husband had to do it.
Although the identity of the man is undisclosed on the tweet, this unsual care by a man to his child attracted loads of reactions. In the reactions, some people who are ignorant of what the picture connote felt the man is a gay who had the child through surgery procedures. Others who know what KMC mean applauded the man and wish to have a caring man like him as a husband.
The language of the heart is different from that of the mouth. The heart speaks endlessly and continuously as long as one lives. As a matter of veracity,the mouth has no word of its own without the heart.
"Out of the abundance of the heart,the mouth speaketh."
The communication of the heart is mild,gentle,slow but with an inexplicable force. If the heart can speak out as the mouth does,no ear can withtstand its vibration;its sound could `deafen' ears.
It's not an easy thing for something to speak countless miles away and still be heard. Indeed,when two hearts beat as one,their sounds can travel countless miles.
If the heart can be heard from afar,how much more when the people are sitting side by side;inches away!
When we yell at each other,when we shout from the top of our voices,when we scream, a message is always sent; it means our hearts are far away from each other,it means there is a vast distance between the hearts.
No normal human shouts at the receiver of a message when the receiver's auditory part is not impaired. It's so with the heart;yelling,screaming,shouting define DISTANCE.

The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development (FMHDSD) today on her official Tweeter handle made a tweet concerning the monthly allowance of the Federal Government Initiative Empowerment Programme(N-Power) volunteers.
Recall that the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development was established 21st August, 2019 by the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, His Excellency, Muhammad Buhari GCFR at the Inauguration of Ministers for the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Ministry is under the management and leadership of the Minister, Minister Sadiya Umar Farouq.
The tweet which carried the following words, "Re: Monthly Allowance of NPower Volunteers" was made to address the issue of the monthly N30,000 stipend of the volunteers of the programme, as there has been some series of irregularities amongst some of the beneficiaries even in the last July, 2020 batch "B" beneficiaries of the programme.
Check below for the verification of the tweet:
"Re: Monthly Allowance of NPower Volunteers - https://t.co/vRNHD1xqm1"
In a bid to express their feelings concerning the irregularities in the payment of the N30,000 monthly stipends, some of the affected beneficiaries seized the opportunity to express their concerns and dissatisfaction on the lack of smooth management of payment from the Minister, Minister Sadiya Umar Sadiya.
The Ministry believes that all affected beneficiaries who are yet to be paid their backlogs have done the needful.
Is there any batch "B" beneficiary reading this content that is yet to be paid his/her July stipend? If yes, drop your answer, the category (N-Teach, N-Agro, N-Health etc) as well as the State in the comment section.
Before You Get Committed In A Relationship With Him/her, You Should Consider These Things First.

Before you get committed in a relationship with him/her, you should consider these things first.
It's very crucial to set out relationship goals before starting one and not allowing the feeling of love alone to set goals for us.
Every man needs to ask himself some questions and providing sincere answers to them;
1. What do I need in a relationship from a lady?
2. What are those things I can't do without in a relationship?
3. What are those attitudes that I can't manage in a relationship?
4. Will I be able to handle a materialistic and excessive demanding lady?
5. Will I be able to cope without sex from her?
Those are some of the questions that every man needs to ask himself before starting any relationship even before the emergence of the feeling of love. That will act as a guide to continuing it(relationship) or ending it as early as possible without necessarily leaving everything for the feeling of love to handle. Don't deceive yourself and start what you can't finish!
Similarly, every lady should set out some goals of her ideal relationship expectations before jumping the gun when the feeling comes;
1. Will I be able to be in a relationship with a man that can't stay without sex?
2. Can I be able to cope with a man who can't provide most of my material needs with his little stipend without a lucrative job?
3. Do I need a relationship primarily because of the financial assistance I need from a man considering where I'm coming from and going to?
The above questions will also help you decide whether to continue or let go devoid of the feeling of love.
Starting a relationship one readily knows one can't endure with the situations surrounding it is self deception.
Naturally, as long as a lady wishes to get married someday, that automatically qualifies her to be a wife. However, not all wives are mothers. Wife status is for every lady that is married but a whole lot of responsibilities and duties need to be exhibited before such a lady can get admission into the world of mothers.
We have wives all over but mothers are few in the list. What distinguishes them is not far-fetched from the following.
1. A wife is just a change of status from singlehood but a mother changes both marital status and responsibilities/duties.
2. A wife is just a woman in a man's life but a mother is a home-maker and a caretaker of the home.
3. A wife gives birth to children and neglect her motherly role in their lives but a mother takes the bull by the horn, watch every step of her children, bring them up in a moral way, exposes them to the difference between good and evil, diligently carry out her motherly responsibilities in the lives of her children.
4. A wife is just a woman in the house of a man but a mother is endowed with full display of hospitality to strangers with or without the husband's presence.
5. A wife sleeps deep with a heavy snore when there is trouble in the home but a mother stay awake all nights until the problem is solved.
6. A wife keeps ungodly friends but a mother selects friends who can help in building up the mother in her.
7. A wife wait to be told before making moves to repair a fallen home but a mother is familiar with the signs of a falling home as well as the solutions to rebuild that which is about to fall.
I can't exhaust the differences. It is not hard to identify a wife and a mother in a lady if only the man can pay attention to things that are relevant to home making in her disposition.
Ladies, ask yourself, who are you? Are you a wife or a mother?
The children of a mother call her blessed and mother,her husband blocks her ears with praises and compliments. Marry a mother and you will be glad you did. Your unborn children will be glad to have her in their lives.
Marriage: He Or She Can Be These 9 Things And Still End Up Not Making A "good" Husband Or Wife.
~4.2 mins read
The success of every marriage is an intentional and deliberate thing. It is more of compatibility between two souls who have different upbringing, languages, religion, culture etc. It has little or nothing to do with the religious standing and activities of the parties involved.
He or she can be the following and still make a terrible wife or husband.
1. He/she may have a permanent seat in the church..
2. He/she may be able to quote the Bible from Genesis to Revelation verbatim.
3. He/she may be able to speak in tongues.
4. He/she may attend church regularly.
5. He/she may belongs to more than one unit in the Church.
6. He/she may not be able finish a sentence without quoting the Bible;
7. He/she may dress decently to church;
8. He/she may be a Pastor.
9. He/she may be a preacher.
That he/she is the aforementioned does not automatically mean that he/she will make a good husband/wife.
The success of any marriage is hinged on the personalities of the two people in question ; it is more of personalities BLENDING.
The last time I checked, those things are just activities that we carry out voluntarily or involuntarily. They have nothing to do with our personalities.
So, don't forget to do the needful - take your time to study him/her; have facts finding communication from time to time; observe his/her actions and inactions while you are in a dating relationship and don't be carried away just because he/she is involved in those things.
I have said it before, and I will say it again. THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS.
He/she can be those things and still end up becoming a terrible husband/wife. You can go and ask your pastor's wives and husbands. You can go and ask your Deacon's and Deaconess' spouses. You can go ask your unit leaders ' spouses.
I am not saying that it is IMPOSSIBLE for one to make a good wife/husband when the person is the aforementioned. No, don't get it twisted. The focal point is, those things alone do NOT automatically qualify one for that position.
So, you must be as wise as the serpent...
I am sure that, if we can be sincere with ourselves in certain things as well as do the needful timely, "wrong" marriages can be avoided. There will be a reduction in the level of problematic and life draining marriages.
Besides, marriage is not a suicide mission. Marriage is meant to be enjoyed and not to be endured.
