This 3 week old Nigerian baby can already feed herself!!!

At just 3 weeks old, baby Amara Chiedozie can hold
her feeding bottle...and her mum, 20 year old
student Onyi Chiedozie, claims she's been doing this
since was just three days old. How is this even
possible? Her mum explains;
'When we were feeding, she started shaking, then
she just grabbed the bottle. She was holding it by
herself. We couldn't believe it because babies
don't normally do it that young. I'm so shocked
that I have been documenting it every day. It's unbelievable.
"When she doesn't want it she will push it away.
She isn't strong enough to throw it away, but she
does push it, like she does with her dummy. If she
is really hungry, she starts shaking. Then she will
just grab the bottle as you give it to her.'

Onyi, who is a single mother and lives in Essex, UK,
says she makes sure she is always watching her
daughter when she is feeding herself.
'Sometimes I hold her or sometimes you can prop
her up with a pillow and give her the bottle. I'm always watching her – I don't let her out of my
sight.' she said.

According to UK Daily Mail, Amara weighed 6lbs 3oz
when she was born on August 3 at Queen's Hospital in Romford. Onyi said her baby's progress astounded medical professionals.
'Even nurses are really surprised. When my health
support nurse came, she was shocked as well. She couldn't believe that this could happen. Whenever we go to appointments, we take pictures of her
doing it. The midwife and even the doctor we had
an appointment with on Saturday were actually
amazed. They couldn't believe it.
Onyi, who also breastfeeds Amara regularly, said:
'The breastfeeding is better now – it's comfortable. It used to be painful and sore before
but it's good now. When she breastfeeds she is
touching and holding on to me. It's a really nice
experience and way to bond.' Babies are usually
able to hold a bottle unaided from around six months.
Meanwhile there's a warning against letting babies
feed themselves. Parents' charity NCT warns;

'If you give your baby a bottle, always hold the
bottle and your baby whilst feeding. It's not safe
to leave babies to feed themselves or to prop up a
bottle; if they choke they won't be able to push
the bottle away.'

The charity also warns that babies can choke on
something as small as a grape and should not be left
alone while feeding or eating.

"Hon Adeyemi Alli" Best Candidate For Mushin Federal House of Rep (Constituency 1)

It is basically undeniable that the best brains and most successful politicians and leaders are those whom have successfully graduated from the grass root of their locality and constituency into State or Federal Governance.‎ Aremo Adeyemi Alli who started his political carrer since his 20s as the General secretary of SDP far back as 1990 (during the Babangida era) is a big testimony to this fact. He had his elementary education at ojuwoye public primary school and proceeded to Arch Bishop Aggey Memorial Secondary School, Mushin for his post primary education. Hon. Alli attended Nigeria College of Administration Badagry for his tertiary education. Few years later he became an Associate Member of Chartered Institute of Administration ACIA.

Village girls should be the best choice for marriage - See why

Stumbled on this piece about what a guy wrote, advising guys on the choice of a lady for marriage; especially in the recent economic situation of Nigeria. Read what he wrote: In this new world of rising dollars, it is only normal to take certain austerity measures in areas of our lives; marriage is one of those areas. No one will subsidize a wedding for you, so you need to start acting smart in your choice of a partner. As a fall out of our crashing currency, the economy needs to be expanded, and we are now been encouraged to buy local products in order to grow the Naira. Getting involved with a city girl is pretty expensive, the only way to go local is to pick from any of the good village girls. The cost of maintenance is small compared to a city girl. The average village girl does not know how to club, she won't even ask you about it. She doesn't eat chocolates and Sharwarma. She's never heard of Sushi and never been to Shoprite. Her hairdo is never beyond N200 b
