7 Facts about babies nobody ever tells you before you have one
Parenthood is a challenge that most new parents can’t wait to conquer.
For new would be parents, any advice from veterans in the parenting game is reverently picked up. And veteran parents are all too happy to share what they know.

For new would be parents, any advice from veterans in the parenting game is reverently picked up. And veteran parents are all too happy to share what they know. Some veteran parents can be all doom and gloom but most tend to give really great advice. But even with all the sound advice, here are some things about babies that you can only know when you’ve had one:
1.Baby voice recognition powers
Dads, does your new born cry when you’re trying to calm him down by singing? This is because a baby recognises its mother’s voice right from birth. If you want to calm the baby down, speak in a falsetto. Many parents don’t realise this till they have spent months with their kid.

2.Baby No
Babies may lack the capacity to speak but they have ways of letting you know. When your baby is full during feeding time, the baby will move its head away from the food. So, pay attention so you don’t overfeed your precious bundle of joy.

3.Every baby is different
Some babies are frequent criers, others only cry when they need to be fed or changed. Nobody tells you this till you have your own baby. After months of awful stories, you will find your baby is different from all the stories you’ve been told.

4.Babies have personalities
People often think babies are just little cute bundles that just poop all the time and smell nice. Babies have personalities and will require stimulation like every human on the planet. So, new parents should be ready to get to know the quirks of their tiny human.

5.Come closer
Does your baby cry even when hearing your voice right in the same room with them? Babies are nearsighted, they can only see 8-12 inches away from their face. So when your newborn is crying even though you’re in the room, just come closer so they can see you.

6.Frequent diaper change
Nothing prepares new parents for a number of diapers they have to change daily. The average new born urinates every 20 minutes. By the time your baby is 6 months old, this figure will drop to once an hour. Get ready to change diapers often.

7.Sensitivity
Babies are very sensitive and can within a few days of being born be able to differentiate between the bristles of different fabrics. If your newborn starts crying even after being fed and changed, you should try changing its clothes and blanket. The bristles may be too hard on its delicate skin.

Raila joins Catholic Church in opposing tetanus vaccine
The opposition on Monday re-ignited an unresolved controversial topic when its presidential candidate Raila Odinga claimed that the government administered tetanus vaccine secretly laced with a hormone said to cause infertility in women.
Mr Odinga claimed that the government deliberately sterilised thousands of women and girls in the guise of tetanus vaccination.
He further claimed that four credible institutions had conducted independent tests on the vaccine, which showed that it had compounds with high amount of anti-pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) that would render the women and girls sterile.
CHURCH
Mr Odinga said the Catholic Church was right in opposing the jab, which has allegedly caused infertility in women between 14 and 49 years.
Mr Odinga said the Catholic Church was right in opposing the jab, which has allegedly caused infertility in women between 14 and 49 years.
“Tests results in our possession indicate that some of the women who got this vaccination have since sought further tests and obtained results indicating that they can never carry a pregnancy unless a process of reversing the effects is initiated,” he said.
But in a joint statement last evening, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nation Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) expressed “deep’’ concern on what they said was misinformation in the media on the quality of the Tetanus Toxoid vaccine in the country.
“The allegations are that the tetanus vaccine used by the government of Kenya and UN agencies is contaminated with a hormone (hCG) that can cause miscarriage and render some women sterile.
“These grave allegations are not backed by evidence, and risk negatively impacting national immunisation programmes for children and women,” the agencies said in the statement signed by WHO representative in Kenya Dr Custodia Mandihate and Unicef Kenya’s acting representative Dr Pirkko Heinonen.
TESTING
They said the agencies had taken note of test results claiming to show hCG levels in samples submitted to some clinical laboratories, noting that testing for the content of a medicine such as TT vaccine needed to be done “in a suitable’’ laboratory and from a sample from the actual medicine/vaccine obtained from an unopened pack and not a blood sample.

“Who and Unicef confirm that the vaccines are safe and are procured from a pre-qualified manufacturer,” the statement read.
But Mr Odinga said analysis of samples used for the tetanus vaccination from highly regarded institutions on matters of health such as agriQ Quest Limited, Nairobi Hospital Laboratories and the University of Nairobi indicate that it had high contents of beta human hCG that causes infertility.
“Today, we can confirm to the country that the Catholic Church was right.
“Thousands of our girls and women aged between 14 and 49 will not have children because of the State-sponsored sterilisation that was sold to the country as tetanus vaccination,” Mr Odinga said.
PREGNANCY
Addressing the Press at his Capitol Hill office in Upper Hill, Nairobi, Mr Odinga challenged the government to publish the list of all people who took part in the vaccination and apologise to them.

“This was a deliberate action on the part of the government and it should apologise to all those who were vaccinated and explain to them how it intends to reverse the damage,” Mr Odinga said.
According to the opposition leader, at least 500,000 women might not be able to bear children based on the vaccination, though he said the figure could even be high as the government has not released the official number of those who were vaccinated.
BOYCOTT
However, Mr Odinga said all was not lost for those who were vaccinated, saying medical experts have assured them that enforced sterility can be reversed if victims show up for emergency interventions.

Mr Odinga’s claims have rekindled a heated debate over the vaccines that the Catholic Church had rejected in 2014 and asked its congregation to boycott the nationwide campaign.
The Church claimed that the vaccine was laced with a hormone said to cause infertility.
CONFLICT
But then Health Cabinet Secretary James Macharia disputed the claims and told BBC that the vaccine was safe.
“I would recommend my own daughter and wife to take it because I entirely 100 percent agree with it and have confidence that it has no adverse health effects,” Mr Macharia said.
The tangle between the church and the government began on March 2014 when bishops became suspicious about the vaccine, which was targeted at women in the reproductive ages of 14 to 49, and excluded boys and men.
RESUIT
The controversy culminated in the formation of a joint committee of experts from the government and the Church, which was co-chaired by Prof Fredrick Were from the ministry and Dr Stephen Karanja representing the Church.
But months after the joint testing, the company hired to test the samples —Agriq Quest Ltd — in a damning letter claimed that the ministry through its then Principal Secretary Nicholas Muraguri wanted the results altered
11 Things a man must have the guts to say
.
“I am taken”
There will always be women trying to lure a man especially when he is taken. A taken man looks presentable because there is already a woman/wife in his life making him shine. A weak man will not let an opportunity to taste new waters of new women pass. But a great man will turn down their advances, remain loyal to the woman who has stood by him all this while, and have the guts to tell those opportunistic women “I am taken. Keep off!”
2. “I am my own man”
People will put expectations on a man, “Why can’t you be like your dad?”, ‘Why not follow the footsteps of your brother?”, “Why are you not as rich as so and so”, “Why don’t you venture into this business/ career?”, “Why don’t you talk like so and so”… a great man is firm in his identity, he chooses his own path and walks it. He tells his parents, his uncles, the world “Yes, there have been and are many great men, but I wasn’t born to copy. Let me find my own direction, let me make my own mistakes, let me be my own man, and find my own greatness”
3. “God, teach me”
A man must humble himself and come to the realization that he needs God, he cannot make it on his own. That he asks God for wisdom, how to be the best man/ husband to his woman, how to be the best father, how to live an honorable life.
4. “Count me out”
Friends can be destructive, they can mock a man that he is spending too much time with his woman/wife, “Amekaliwa na bibi”, they can organize for a strip show with prostitutes, encourage unfaithfulness, make you waste your money, dare you to be a man by doing wrong, dare you to drink and drive or try out retrogressive lifestyles. A great man knows his values, priorities and boundaries. He is not swayed by peer pressure. Yes, it is good to have friends and those friends must be good friends; but when friends suggest a wrong plan or even when good friends are demanding too much time away from your family or responsibilities, a great man has the guts to say “Count me out”
5. “How shall we do family planning?”
Family planning should not be left to the woman alone. The man should have the guts to ask the woman how they shall do it, settling on what works best for them both. After all, don’t men say they are the head of the family?… the head has to plan.
6. “I will raise our child”
Whether a pregnancy is planned or unplanned, the man should have the guts to declare “I will raise our child”. He shouldn’t be the one to advocate for an abortion, the one to leave and run but the one to stay and rise up to the role of fatherhood. There are some fathers who accept the child but distance themselves from the child and when the child errs, they are quick to blame it on the wife. Fatherhood is being active in the upbringing of the child.
7. “Honey, don’t you dare beat yourself up”
The man’s woman can sometimes feel low, she can feel sorry for herself and harbor negative thoughts. A great man has the guts to counter his woman’s negative thoughts and keep her from losing hope and slipping into despair and laxity.
8. “I was wrong”
It takes guts to admit failure, defeat or a mistake. A great man is open to correction and the process of learning.
9. “I love you”
True love is for the brave. A courageous man will not just love but declare his love for the woman. The same way he prides himself in his achievements, he will take pride in loving and being loved by such an amazing woman.
10. “Will you marry me?”
It takes guts for a man to propose to a woman. His heart is on the line as the power to say “Yes” or “No” lies with her. But when a man is serious about loving a woman, he will want to keep her officially and in the right and transparent way. He will want her official consent to spend the rest of his life with her. He will make her his wife to demonstrate how serious he is.
11. “Mum, respect my wife!”
Sometimes the man’s parents or siblings try to undermine his wife. They try to manipulate him and control the man and his marriage. But a great man has the guts to stand up to his own family and defend his wife and household, shooting down any attempts to attack or frustrate his wife.
Nigerian govt approves concessioning of Lagos, Abuja International Airports
The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, on Monday said the Federal Executive Council, FEC, has approved the concessioning of the Lagos and Abuja International Airports for better management.
Mr. Osinbajo said this in Abuja at the fifth Presidential Quarterly Business Forum aimed at improving the ease of doing business in Nigeria. He, however, did not name the concessionaires.
“We are working hard to make the airports more passenger friendly, but then we have several issues.
‘Infrastructure is in a terrible state and we know that public sector has a poor record on maintenance of facilities.”
He said the airports needed to be overhauled as they lacked basic facilities as most of the available ones were dilapidated.
He said for the economy to be improved, the private sector needed to be involved in many ways.
“Partnership with the private sector is not only a policy, it is the most sensible thing to do and our approach is to engage, work collaboratively to take criticisms and suggestions seriously and to respond.’’
He said a lot needed to be done in the whole process to ensure that what needed to be done was done to guarantee change and improve the economy.
He, however, said change was always slow but that the nation must remain focused to achieve the required objectives.
Mr. Osinbajo said the readiness to confront the covert and overt resistance of a system accustomed to rent seeking and gratification were also important.
“The private sector is also used to a system where there is constant gratification and rent seeking and in order to reverse and stop that, it involves calling out public officials who are involved in such.
“So, it means the private sector cannot say because I want to do my own business as quickly as possible I will not call out anybody who is seeking gratification or bribe.
We have to do this thing and if we do not we will not solve the problem,” he said.
He said the regulators of all the sectors of the economy should ensure that they were facilitators to the ease of doing business initiative and not obstacles to the growth being sought for.
Okechukwu Enelamah, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, said the progress made in the business community so far had helped the economy come out of recession.
He said some of the successes of the federal government were tied to the responsiveness and engagements from the private sector.
“Forums like this help strengthen the engagement between the private sector and the government and we have used the feedbacks to improve our policies and interventions.
“In many respects we are becoming more and more of a responsive government and we are mindful of the challenges that businesses face, particularly the private sector and incoming investors.
“We would like to understand some of these issues better and proffer solutions.
He said there was continued concern about what appeared to be an adversarial relationship and trust deficit between the private sector and government.
He added that there were several complaints about multiplicity of taxes and agencies that collect various levies at the different levels of government, adding that there was also the issue of coordination between government agencies.
He assured that some of these issues were already being worked on using the executive orders that were issued on fast tracking businesses for both the local and foreign investors.
“I know that we are beginning to see improvements in the registration of businesses, in getting credit with the enactment of new bills on credit and collateral.
“We are continuing to simplify the procedures for paying taxes and progress is being made with regards to visas at the airports for entry and exit of people.’’
The forum was focused on enabling business environment as it pertained to government regulators, was aimed at sharing the views the current regulatory environment users of government regulations were confronted with.
It also served as an opportunity to give an update on the current Ease of Doing Business initiatives and the current impact on the regulatory environment.
Player gives West Ham’s Bilic birthday cheer
Pedro Obiang and Andre Ayew scored to give West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic the perfect 49th birthday present as the Hammers beat Huddersfield Town 2-0 in the Premier League on Monday.
Obiang got the opener via an enormous deflection and Bilic then pumped the air in relief as much as delight when Ghanaian star Ayew pounced to add the second as West Ham claimed their first points of the season.
Defeat to Huddersfield would have left the charismatic Croat in real danger of becoming the second managerial casualty of the season, after Frank de Boer was fired by pointless Crystal Palace on Monday.
“We started with three away games (they couldn’t play at home until the London Stadium was re-adapted after the World Athletics Championships) and three defeats and this was a must-win game,” Bilic told Sky Sports.
“I feel the pressure for a whole year now. It is maybe not logical for me to be under pressure after three games but it is modern football.
“It is my birthday today and this is a great, great present for me.”
For Huddersfield it was their first reverse — and the first goals they had conceded — of what has been an impressive start to life among the elite.
A match big on commitment but poor in quality had seen West Ham, with Andy Carroll back in attack after a thigh injury, go close twice in a first half they dominated.
Mexico striker Javier Hernandez was denied by the crossbar while Jonas Loessl got down to smother the ball on the line from James Collins’ header after 22 minutes.
However, the hosts deservedly went ahead 18 minutes from time with a piece of luck that had deserted them in their previous three league games.
Obiang’s shot looked to be going wide but took a significant deflection off Mathias Jorgensenand gave Loessl no chance, the goalkeeper desperately trying to make up ground but left flailing at the ball.
There was no luck involved in the second as Ayew, who had been sent on as a substitute, took advantage of a Huddersfield defender failing to clear the ball from a corner and tucked it away.
Huddersfield responded gamely with Tom Ince hitting the crossbar but they never threatened to spoil Bilic’s party.
