COULD THERE BE FUTURE EFFECTS? I am a mother of five kids, at the age of 49 years I still see my menses, I meet with my husband as he desires but go more than a round anytime we copulate. We meet once in a week or in 10 days but I’m afraid, so dat I would not be in pains later in life, I need your advise because he always assures me that there is no problem. But I’m scared.

What do I do? Zainab, Kano There is no problem at all. Sexual intercourse with spouse that does not give problem immediately or within few days does not give problem later in life.

Part of the immediate problem include dysparuenuria which could be superficial or deep. Superficial means pain during penetration while deep means lower abdominal pains during intercourse. Other complications could include infections. Luckily enough you do not have any.

So I will suggest you relax and not to worry.

AVOIDABLE TREATMENT FOR KELOIDS I am an avid reader of your educating health column in Tambari. I am battling a lot of keloid scars on my chest and other parts of my body which itches badly and has negatively affected my self-confidence and inherently getting me depressed. I have tried different treatment options ranging from the use of an oil derived from snakes to the spraying of nitrogen on the scars at a clinic in Wuse, Abuja.

While the spray of nitrogen is very painful, it has not really helped in getting rid of my keloid. Please sir I need you to connect or introduce me to a dermatologist or an effective treatment that you know will be of help to me. Furthermore, as a teacher, my source of income is limited; hence, I can’t afford some treatment options I have read online such as radiotherapy. Moshood. Abuja.

I empathize with you actually but let me encourage you to avoid loss of self confidence.

Great men, great achievers have risen above their personal challenges to leave unbeatable legacies.

They rose above self defeatist attitude to make a mark in their generation.

Keloids are hard benign growths that form scar tissue. Risk factors include African, Latin

and younger than 30 years. Some have predisposition to it.

Treatment include corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation, freezing the tissue to kill skin cells, laser treatments to reduce scar tissue radiation to shrink keloids.

As a low or middle income earner use of triamcinolone injections it is not that expensive.

Since you are in Abuja I will suggest you go to dermatology department of the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital Gwagwalada or National hospital.

CAN TOILET INFECTION PREVENT PREGNANCY I’m worried about my inability to get pregnant again. My child is 5 years old. I have treated toilet infection over and over again but yet no result. Please what do I do?

Maryam.

You are having what is called secondary infertility. Treating infection will not solve the problem. Several people have wasted money and time on treating staphylococcal infection among others.

You and your spouse should go to a gynaecological clinic. Investigations to be done include seminal fluid analysis for your husband and HSG for you. Follicular Tracking is also important.

Bridging societal gaps Educational background attended primary school at Our Lady of Fatima Private School in Jos and finished in 1978. I then went to the Federal Government College, Jos, and subsequently to Narakuta Secondary School, also in Jos, where I finished secondary school in 1984. I then went to Usmanu Dan Fodio University and started off with Business Management before switching to English Language. While at the university, I was part of the Students Union Government (SUG).

I was vice president at a time and after that I was the whole female hostels chairlady. So I happened to have friends in all aspects: everybody was my friend.

I graduated with a degree in English language1990. I was more on the heady side because I didn’t take nonsense back then. I had several courses and after that I started working with Afribank Plc. Career background I did my NYSC in Port Harcourt with Afribank. That’s where it started. It was a very enlightening time, getting to meet people of different languages, backgrounds and orientation. It was a really nice time, unlike the experience youth corps members of nowadays complain of.

Immediately after the completion of my NYSC, I continued working with Afribank.

I worked with them till 2000. It was hectic because then I had children that were in their formative years and it entailed doing school runs and running other home errands too.

But we made it work.

After Afribank, which I left willingly to take care of my children, I managed my father’s bakery because then he had retired.

My family and I then relocated from Jos to Abuja. I then found myself working at the National Orientation Agency (NOA), which was an entirely different ball game because it was not like the banking sector. Right now I have reached the position of the Chief Programme Officer. It entails a lot of sensitization. The country as a whole needs that. It entails going to rural areas and telling the people what government policies are.

This involves meeting with royal elders, chiefs and the like, so that they call the people and tell them these are people they should listen to.

As for Harteez Global Concepts, it is my baby actually, and it is more of a passion of mine that entails talking to young ladies and gentlemen that are about to go into marriage, with the high

divorce rate everywhere, especially in the North. My intent is to work with the government and work with royal fathers.

I plan on going to meet other royal fathers to discuss this issue and reduce this massive divorce rate. Doing this, both parties will know what they’re supposed to do and their rights also.

There are certain things as northern mothers that we don’t discuss with our daughters; especially where it comes to sex. We see it as a taboo and such leads

I WAS MORE ON THE HEADY SIDE BECAUSE I DIDN’T TAKE NONSENSE BACK THEN. PAGE 30 TAMBARI SUNDAY, JULY 23, 2017

CO V E R // AMINA KOLO to things like sodomy.

Growing up I grew up in Jos. My grandfather was the first ‘DubaGari’ in Jos and my parents were all born in Jos. My uncles were ambassadors and my father was one of the big time permanent secretaries and then he was the Chairman of the Federal Mortgage Bank for eight years. My dad was a very cheerful person. There was a lot of travelling out.

Aside from that, our house was filled with big rocks so we played with those a lot. Apart from that I did a lot of reading.

Challenges Challenges always come. They’re part of life.

In fact if you don’t come across challenges then you’re not living. I’ve had some, health wise, work wise, marriage wise, with siblings; losing two, with friends, but I have always come out much stronger.

Life lessons So far so good, life is too short so make the best of what you can. Be happy, have good friends, enjoy yourself, enjoy your health and your children as they mature from kids to teenagers to adults.

Most rewarding part of my career I have actually had so many rewards. I’ve learnt patience, tolerance and how to relate with people.

Aspirations growing up You’ll be ticked if I tell you what I wanted to be when I was growing up. I actually wanted to be singer because I had such a nice voice then and my father used to say, “ah my singing canary!”

Fond childhood memories My father, my mother, my siblings that passed on and my home place, Jos. I miss being there: the weather, the fruits and so many other things about Plateau State.

My typical day I wake up in the morning, pray, take a nap and then when I get up I head out to work. Since my kids are all grown and are all doing their own things, I then take care of home runs afterwards.

I then watch TV, I love watching Universal Channel, and then I stay up late to gist with my kids.

My most cherished gift(s) My children: I cherish them so much and life wouldn’t be life without them. They’re solidly by me and we have always stuck together.

Top five on my wish list I want to be a minister. I would have said president but I don’t think Nigeria is close to being ready for a female president. I wouldn’t mind being a senator either, even though I’m not into party politics. I would love a big fat contract, but with age, I’ve slowed down a bit, so I wouldn’t mind going to a nice place like Monaco or Mauritius on a yearly basis and I would love to go for Umrah yearly.

Favourite music on replay I love all genres of music except reggae. I have a 20-year-old daughter, so I listen to what she listens to and if you challenge me, I can do the dance steps too (laughs).

First app in the morning/bedtime WhatsApp: in the morning and at night too.

Favourite fashion item(s) I love perfumes and my lipsticks.

Flats of heels?

Flats Most expensive fashion accessory I just go for anything that I like or that fits me.

I don’t regard the price tag but I do love silver.

What I wouldn’t be caught wearing A mini skirt

MY DAD HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT FIGURE FOR ME. BUT I CAN USE MY FATHER’S ADVICE IN PLACE. “ALL THIS THAT YOU SEE, I WORKED HARD FOR IT. YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD FOR YOURS.” Favourite travel destination estination I love Dubai: Mostlyy because my kids are schooling there, so I go o there often.

The buildings there aree awesome.

I can’t fathom how they ey put them together. You leave ave and come back after two weeks to find something new.

How I relax With my friends, driving out and going for weddings to dance and d watch others dance too. o.

Favourite quote Life is too short.

Favourite food I hate rice. I love potatoes, boiled, though gh when I really need to cut down on my weight, ht, but mostly fries. I lovee Lebanese and Chinesee food too.

Definition of style e Wear what you’re comfy in.

Favourite designer er perfume, shoes and bag Perfume is Esteè Lauder, uder, bag and shoes; I don’t really have any.

Mum’s advice thatt has stuck over the years I really didn’t know my mum. She died when I was about six or seven, so my dad has always been that hat figure for me. But I can n use my father’s advice in place. “All this that you u see, I worked hard for it.

You have to work hard d for yours.”

Favourite sport, colour and weather I don’t mind taking walks. My colour is purple and I love the type of weather in Plateau State: cool and d calm.

Favourite day of the he week I love Fridays because se it is the end of the week!

Beauty routine Nothing much: I use my powder, lipstick and eyeliner. I don’t go into creams and all that. I just use Vaseline.

Role model(s) Myself, because I know I have been through a lot in my life. Despite the downs I have always got back up much stronger.

What I would tell a younger me That would be my daughter. So I would say a younger Amina should enjoy life more, travel more, select a few loyal friends that will always be by my side and be loyal to them too. Be hard working, be a truly spiritual person and love your creator more than anything.

Korea’s first black Consequences of eating South model is a Nigerian heavy and late dinner T F Stories by UCHE EZE

or most people, eating late and heavy has become a norm due to their busy schedules and late closing hours, but that doesn’t make it right. At night, the body automatically begins to rest from the day’s work. The recommended time for eating dinner is 7pm latest, but even if you exceed that time, you should not consume heavy foods.

Eating late and eating heavy have severe effects on your health.

Heartburn and acid reflux Acid reflux is a common condition in which stomach acid moves back up into your oesophagus after eating.

According to Mrs. Tabitha Adebayo, a dietician with Centenary Hospital, Lagos, d acid reflux is often accompanied n your by heartburn or a burning pain in nd lower or mid-chest. Eating late and ng heavy at night and thereafter lying down can trigger acid reflux and other symptoms.

Sleep effects Eating heavily at night often affects your sleep, especially if you head for bed after such heavy meals. Most times, you feel heavy and stuffed and uncomfortable. This is

because the digestive process is slower at night; and that is why you must eat early and light for proper digestion of your dinner.

Weight gain This is worst for people who eat late at night even if they have had dinner. People like that often resort to treat foods in the night hours, such as ice cream or chips. Since these foods are dense in calories and low in nutrients, this can lead to excessive caloric intake and residual weight gain.

Protecting yourself from bacterial infections during rainy season

I

n most places, there is a heavy downpour daily, leaving the weather damp and wet. Under these weather condition, bacteria is most likely to breed and spread around, causing infections like sore throat, stomach infections, running nose and so on. It is important to protect yourself and family from infections got from these bacteria. According to Dr. Amadi Ikechukwu of Federal Medical Centre, Abuja, germs and bacterial infections can escalate into diseases that may have long term effects on the immune system.

Wash/sanitise your hands frequently: The hands are exposed to bacteria from surfaces in the

home and work environments. Bacteria thrive on the little things around us. Hands should be washed and sanitised as often as possible.

Disinfect your home: Use products with strong disinfectants and clean as often as you can, especially if you have pets around the house. Also, air the clothes in your closet whenever you can.

Clothes gather mould after a while and this can cause bacterial infections.

Be careful with your food: Storage and preparation of food must be done carefully, as a bacterium in food is dangerous. Refrigerated foods must be covered and stored properly. Refrigerated and frozen foods should not be left out for more than two hours. During the preparation of food, you must also be conscious of hygiene.

Handle pets with care: Especially for pets that stay outside, avoid having close contact with them. Wash your hands after any pet exposure and do not allow children to place their mouth on the pet. Disinfect animal food and water dishes every day when the pet’s food is prepared.

KIDDIES MORALS Easy ways to involve kids in house chores with UCHE EZE

I

t can be tasking for parents to come back from work and still have to attend to house chores. Most children mess up their rooms and leave it just like that.

Rarely would a child consider tidying up. This is a very bad habit that must be stopped at its early stage. Kids can cultivate the habit of cleaning and helping around the house, but they need to be taught. Here are some easy ways to get your kids interested in house chores.

Start early: Habits take a while to set; therefore, start to teach your child the importance of personal hygiene from tender age. Start small, like asking them to make the bed in the morning, dropping their worn clothes in the laundry basket and not on the room floor, assisting you in the kitchen and so on. With this, the child grows up knowing that dirt is unhealthy and unacceptable.

Motivate them, don’t bribe: Teach your kids that housework is everyone’s responsibility and not something to do just because they get something in return,

like pocket money. Instead of giving out monetary or physical rewards after a chore well done, try praising the child; this will serve as encouragement to do more.

Turn it to fun time: Children love to play, so combine work with play. Play some music and dance around with your kids while cleaning so they associate housework with fun instead of boredom.

For the younger kids, this is very important; try turning as many chores as you can into a fun game.

Make it easier: Another reason why kids avoid chores is because most cleaning materials are not kid-friendly.

The brooms are too long, the sink is out of their reach and the like. Try making things a little accessible for them-get shorter brooms, get a tiny stool for them to stand on at the sink. This will show them that you actually want them to participate in doing the chores.

Chic and covered

ashion is a distinctive trend in which someone dresses. Looking fancy is more assured with a modest look. Fashion is still embraced with modest clothing.

You can be covered yet look chic, stylish, and splendid. Covering up can be empowering rather than repressing. While living in the fashion world, it is also important to appear in clothes that are comfortable and define your personality.

If there is a reason to be covered, remember that you can still look fabulous. Fashion comes in different dimensions so far it meets the trend and style. To be covered is still an advantage because style is not far away to perform the magic. Try a cover up fashion and see the dazzling look.

Bathroom essentials for every woman

By UC UCHE HE E EZE ZE

T

he bathroom is the starting point for the day and where you spend the most time preparing for work or an outing. As a woman there are certain basic things that should not be missing from your bathroom. Here are a few essentials that you must have in your bathroom cabinet at all times.

1. Shower caps Shower caps are highly essential for every woman.

These caps protect the hair from getting wet during shower. Unless you are washing your hair with shampoo and the likes, water should not be anywhere near your air; especially the roots, as this can damage your edges.

2. Baby powder Baby powder boasts of an impressive number of uses, from making stinky shoes smell better, to helping heal a rash, to making your eyelashes look longer, to serving as dry shampoo; it is something you need in your bathroom. There’s also the use of baby powder as an aftershave. In fact, there’s always a need for baby powder 3. Coconut oil It’s no news that coconut oil is the new magic wand for beauticians; that’s because it really does have some amazing abilities and uses. You can moisturise your hair with it, make homemade shampoo with it, use it as a moisturiser on your skin, take your makeup off with it, use it to make your teeth healthier and whiter, and so much more. You’ll be surprised at how often you reach for it.
