It was indeed a great day for us in MokolaCommunity as we celebrated our 2021 OpenDay on 18 July 2021 at St. Gabriel’s Catholic
Church, Mokola Ibadan. Every member of theCommunity together with the President of Friendsof St. Louis, Mokola - Mrs. Adebayo participatedwith great zeal. Speaking during his homily on this day, Fr.Emmanuel Eseola, the Asst. Parish Priest of St.Gabriel’s Catholic Church, spoke on the theme“Sent on Mission”. According to him, not manyChristians are aware that ‘Mission’ is part of theirduties as Christ’s followers. As Christians,everyone must stand up to their duty by becomingmissionaries and this was expounded in thegospel reading. To answer the call to be goodmissionaries, he added, we must, come to Jesus,be ready to be sent out and collaborate with others. After the Communion, Sr. Theresa Olaniyanconscientized the people about the Charism of theSisters of St. Louis and their apostolate. So also,the president of Friends of St. Louis, Ibadan, spokeon who the Friends of St. Louis are and what theydo. The thanksgiving was a joyful one!

generous, kind, lovely and caring. I learnt opennessto formation, flexibility to the will of God and to begood in all way round.
Maryam Balla Francis: I feel inspired by hersimplicity and I which to imitate this. She treatedus as her beloved Sisters despite the fact that sheis a mother. The little experiences she shared withus were full of moral lessons.
Augustine Faith: Her calmness and willingness toteach inspired me. I have a better knowledge of theSpirituality of the Sisters of St. Louis through her.
Ovie Patience Ogheneyonre: A simple and openperson. She was willing to share knowledge withus. I learnt the importance of openness andhumility.
Akobi Carine: I am impressed with herhumility and I ask God to help me to behumble too.Michael Martha: She was patient

What Is Bladder InfectionBladder infection is one of the urinary tract infections.You need to know the parts of your urinary tract andwhat they do to understand this topic as we go on:Your kidneys clean waste from your blood and makepee. Your ureters are thin tubes, one for each kidney,that carry pee to your bladder. Your bladder storespee. Your urethra carries pee from the bladder tooutside your body.
Causes of Bladder InfectionsThe main culprits are bacteria, usually E.coli. Thesebacteria live on the skin and in the intestines and mostof the time, they’re not a problem. Everyone has them.But if they get into the urethra, they can end up in thebladder and cause an infection. The infections cantravel up the ureters to the kidneys and cause moresevere problems, so it’s important to treat them rightaway. Other factors that can increase the risk ofbladder infections for both men and women. include:
advanced age immobility insufficient fluid intake surgical procedure within the urinary tract a urinary catheter urinary obstructions which is a blockage in the
bladder or urethra urinary tract abnormality, which is caused by
birth defects or injuries urinary retention, which means difficulty
emptying the bladder narrowed urethra enlarged prostate bowel incontinence pregnancy Diabetes
What are the symptoms of bladder infection?The symptoms of a bladder infection vary dependingon the severity. It starts with changes during urination.As the infection progresses, pain also occurs.
Some of the most common symptoms include: cloudy or bloody urine urinating more often than usual foul-smelling urine pain or burning when urinating a frequent sensation of having to urinate, which is
called urgency cramping or pressure in the lower abdomen or
lower back
Bladder infections can also cause back pain. This painis associated with pain in the kidneys. Unlike muscularback pain, you might experience pain on both sides ofyour back or the middle of your back. Such symptomsmean the bladder infection has likely spread to thekidneys. A kidney infection can also cause a low fever.
Lifestyle Changes That May Reduce the Risk ofBladder Infection.
Drink plenty of liquids, especially water, to helpflush out bacteria
Urinate often, especially when you feel the need Wipe from front to back after urination or a bowel
movement Take showers rather than baths Gently wash the skin around your vagina and
anus daily using a mild soap and plenty of water Use other forms of birth control other than a
diaphragm and spermicides Avoid deodorant sprays or scented feminine
products in the genital area

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT:CAUSES, BENEFITS, EFFECTS ANDALTERNATIVE METHODS TOUPHOLD THE DIGNITY OF A CHILD—Theresa Olaniyan, SSL
Continued from last edition
In traditional African society, corporal punishmentwas and it is still a very acceptable mode ofcorrection for children. In spite of the infiltration of
European culture of parenting, corporal punishmentremains widespread in Nigeria: in institutions andorganisations such as schools, homes and the law andeven some religious organisations.1https://endcorporalpunishment.org.
Unlike the western world where parents could spanktheir children hidden from public view, Nigerianparents and caregivers still do so at the slightestprovocation anyway and everywhere.
WHY DO PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS SPANK ERRINGCHILDREN?In Nigeria, corporal punishment is rarely perceived asan abuse. The inherent premium placed on childrenbreeds the need for their holistic acculturation ofsocietal norms and proper integration of values tobecome well-behaved and responsible adults(omoluabi). In interactions among the Yoruba, a highpremium is placed on respect and submission to theseniors and those in the position of power. Thus, thisapproach to parenting and educational style,perpetuate itself from one generation to the next withauthoritarian style of rearing children.
1. Beating children out of benevolence is a method that aims to inculcate the value of obedience in children who do not comply with education and invariably serves as a deterrent to the would-be errant with undesirable behaviour.
2. Corporal punishment imprints into the consciousness subconsciousness of children, the values of obedience and respect for their elders and teaches children to value and follow their words and traditions to avoid punishment.3. The cultural aim of beating and punishing a child is
done out of a belief of protecting and securing thechild’s future and inhibit the child from becominga truant in society.
4. It is a tool to bring some sanity and order to theculture and to the society, to instil good moralupbringing in the child and avoid bringing shameby dragging the name of the family in mud.
The countless elements of punishment in Africa cannotbe exhausted, some of them are as follows: hitting anyparts of the body of children with hands or objects (withpot, spoon, slippers, stick, koboko etc), punching,kicking, burning, scalding, biting, putting pepper in theeyes and private parts (e.g vagina), starving…
BENEFITS OF SPANKING CHILDRENOne of the goals of strict parenting is to keep theirchildren safe from all harm. Their children, havingimbibed a culture of safety, know how to obey rulesand protect themselves from the dangers of peerinfluence and always ensure that they arrive at the rightconclusion using their best. The children learn:1. how to plan their lives from their parents.2. how to work punctually.3. to achieve their life objectives and to be successfulin life.4. learn to follow rules strictly

‘Sint Unum, the basis of Turkenstein pactWe are making a prayer each time we say thosefew words, “Sint! Sint Unum!”’ – Sr. ClaraAzubuike
Wednesday 25th August 2021 was quiteeventful as Sisters of St. Louis, NigeriaProvince Teachers and Administrators
Mentoring Services organized a two-day workshop forEnglish Language teachers of St. Louis GrammarSchool, Mokola, Ibadan. Organizing this workshop wasin a bid to foster unity between the two schools and theboarding house which is fully run by the Sisters of St.Louis, Nigeria Province. The Principals of both theJunior and Senior Schools with 13 teachers from theschool and two neighbouring schools were inattendance.
The workshop which took place at the mentoring centrewas quite interactive as we discussed the variousaspects of English Language tested in the West AfricanSenior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). Inall, we had at least eight hours of elucidatingdiscussions about content and pedagogical skills thatimprove teaching and learning of English Languagewithin a learning community. In addition, we hadenlightening conversations on issues relating tochallenges students face in learning English Languageas a second language. Some of these challenges includeweak foundation in the initial acquisition of thelanguage;; poor reading culture;; inadequate supportfrom the local society where spoken or written Englishis largely substandard;; students’ learning disabilitiessuch as dyslexia, dysgraphia, imbalanced teacher-student ratio etc.
At the end of this highly engaging workshop, theparticipants evaluated the workshop as having beeneducative and rejuvenating with most of them askingfor more of such joint refresher workshops. We hope tofurther strengthen the unity among the two schools byorganizing joint assemblies. Since it ended on the feastof St. Louis, we all shared a meal of jollof and chickenas an expression of our unity. Indeed, ‘we are makinga prayer not only each time we say those few words,“Sint Unum”’, but also whenever we embody them.
