Symptoms can include painful intercourse, lower backache, urinary leaking, a chronic urge to urinate, constipation, and hysterectomy. This is a condition which makes many women feel like their insides are literally falling out, while others feel like a bulging lump or simply a heavy feeling of pressure in the vagina and pelvis.

Dr. I Cohen, Psychologist Gezondheidscentrum Hollendrecht

There was a song on radio many years back which says "I wish I'd never grow old." But, that is of course just wishful thinking.

The uproar caused by the flowery effigy of Nelson Mandela, made by primary school children in Amsterdam Southeast and unveiled during the inaugural renaming of the Bijmer Park has not quite really died down. Residents still have an opinion which they wish to express on the matter and so in our next broadcast we are providing the platform for this expression. As you probably know, the lawsuit over the Zwarte Piet affair has yet to be fully and legally resolved, so the citizenry in principle are free to air their concerns and opinions.

his excellency ambassador Jean Pierre Karabaranga of Rwanda

Very often people who are abroad and outside are usually excluded from the politics of their home countries.

And still others wonder: do the say and vote of Nigerians in the diaspora matter? These and more issues we would be exploring during the political segment of our next broadcast.It promises to be another hot session. Our guests comprise of a broad spectrum of Nigerian leaders in the diaspora; a chief, a lawyer, business and political actitvists.

hon. Collins Nweke, a local councillor (Oostend, Belgium), Ms. Augustina Osei,(PvdA( and Okuns Obahiagbon (OZO)

One lingering question that keeps coming up from time to time is: are people in diaspora effectively capable of contributing to the social and economic empowerment of their local communities through involvement in local politics? When we speak of integration and building social cohesion, but where does it all start? Furthermore, how may we inspire the first and second generation children of migrants for political office, with a perspective to helping improve the lives of their people here (and may be, in their home countries too)? Joining us to discuss the above matters will be hon. Collins Nweke, a local councillor (Oostend, Belgium), Ms. Augustina Osei,(PvdA) and Okuns Obahiagbon (OZO) both local politicians.

Frank Willems, WSRW (Western Sahara Resource Watch)

Today, we are putting the spotlight on Western Sahara, which is a sparsely-populated area of mostly desert situated on the northwest coast of Africa. It was a former Spanish colony, and then it was annexed by Morocco in 1975. Since then it has been the subject of a long-running territorial dispute between Morocco and its indigenous Saharawi people, led by the Polisario Front. Although under the administrative control of Morocco, the status and sovereignty of Western Sahara remain unresolved and numerous direct talks have failed to break the political deadlock. The Saharan Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), declared by the Polisario Front in 1976, is now recognised by many governments and is a full member of the African Union. (Source:BBC) Also, at the root of the problem is the phosphate reserves and rich fishing grounds off its coast, Western Sahara is also believed to have as yet untapped offshore oil deposits. Our guest today is Frank Willems of WSRW (i.e. Western Sahara Resource Watch) a platform connected with events in that area.

Pastor Eddy Lont

One of the key disciplines in the pastoral ministry is counselling with church members (and at times, with leadership). The importance and sensitivity of this discipline is often underestimated and as a result some ministers have committed avoidable blunders. In this segment, we host an experienced minister of the Gospel with a specialised background and skill in counselling for many years. We invite all ministers (young and old) to partake in this essential session. It will be an interactive and fulfilling session for all; ministers and believers alike.

Panelists; Pastor Ibrahim Abarshi (top), Rev. Dr. Moses Alagbe

In this segment we continue the powerful treatment of the above topical issue in our church community. Due to the diverse interpretations to God\'s word has created much confusion and various standards. These days we all appear to have itchy ears for what sounds best in our hearing, but that notwithstanding, ministers of God are still expected to \"rightly divide the word of truth\". Due to much permissiveness, the concepts of repentance and restitution today have lost their true and original meanings and interpretation. During this forum, we will be discussing these two and their relationship with one another believers as far as believers are concerned.

Pastor Alfred Arrindell

Transition (change) is an unavoidable part of our natural lives and hence it must be so with our spiritual lives too. Change inevitably affects every aspect of our lives; for instance, we transition as new-born babies into children, then into youths, adulthold, old-age and finally out of this world. What about transitions in one\'s calling as a minister? Does that also happen and are we very conscious when it\'s on? Are we often prepared for it and do we even accept these transitions? In this broadcast, we would be hosting Pastor Alfred Arrindell from Zwolle whose ministry and calling has gone through notable transitions.

Pastors Gabriel Kasakula, Sunday Igbalaloju and Sam Abeka

The subject of \\\'witchcraft\\\' is a serious matter. In the (migrant) church community frequent reference is made this subject during preaching or in exorcism (deliverance) services. Witchcraft as a craft has several and different interpretations adding to some of the confusion about the subject matter. There are also horrid tales and experiences which sections of the church community have in the past recounted (and still do) over their encounters with people possessed by or operating by witchcraft spirit. What is factual and what is fictional about this topic? What can be objectively proven and when is it purely someone\\\'s own subjective feeling? How is the child of God protected from the spirit of witchcraft? pf panel Panelists: Pastor Gabriel Kasakula, Apostle Larry Dorkenoo (host), Pastor Sunday Igablaloju, PAstor Sam Abeka Join us with our panelists to discuss this subject.Tune in to this powerful discussion from about 07.00 hrs.

Pastor Suzzie Nyarko, Rev. Louise van de Sloot, Apostle Hans Oudhoff & Rev. Nana Baiden

Most people are asking: \\\"Why pastors/ministers in the city are not really together?\\\".

In this forum we want to analyse some of the factors hindering our unity, how we can correct and what benefist awaits us.

Pastor Isaac Kamara (CRMI, Zwolle) & Pastor Bright Antwi (Cross-Fire Ministries, Almere

In this forum our panel will be discussing the controversial topic of \\\"Salvation\\\". There is one school of thought that once people are saved, no matter how they live afterwards, they still will make heaven. Others are of a contrary opinion; that is to say, our salvation is progressive and is dependent on one\\\'s state of righteousness at the point of death (or the rapture of that person - depending on which happens first). This promises to be a very inspiring forum and you cannot afford to miss it.

Rev. Nana Baijden & Rev. John Owusu-Agyeman (Teacher)

In this forum our panel will be discussing the controversial topic of "Salvation": There is one school of thought that once people are saved, no matter how they live afterwards, they still will make heaven. Others are of a contrary opinion; that is to say, our salvation is progressive and is dependent on one's state of righteousness at the point of death (or the rapture of that person - depending on which happens first). This is part two offering another perspective on the topic.

This discussion takes a retrospective look at the life, growth and aspirations of our local church community in Amsterdam and in the Netherlands as a while for that matter. The discourse aimed at reviewing the past and also to strategically try to perceive the direction we all heading from this point on.

(L-R): Samuel Walumbinga, (Sympathy religion, Adam, Imam Ryan Dilrosun (Islamic Anjumah, Amsterdam),Pastor William Poh (House of Refuge, Deventer)

The Brussels terror attacks strongly indicates that our young people are being radicalised and brainwashed right under our noses. The individualism in our modern society is partly to blame for this trend of affairs (among several other factors). Given this trend, are we all going to be depending on state security apparatus to shield our youth or are we going to become the 'ears and eyes' of our communities? In this programme we are going to be discussing these issues and how we can all be a part of the solution. We will be tackling this segment from a religious perspective.

Rev. Dr. Moses Alagbe (Amsterdam), Pastor Rotimi Adu (Eindhoven), Pastor Harrison Elekwa (Cotonou)

We have heard that the church’s relevance in today’s modern day Western European society is either very limited or almost non-existent. At the same time there is a massive boom in church growth in Asia, Latin-America and in many African countries. What is wrong and how can we fix it? At the same time in Africa (and especially in Nigeria), there is a new “wave” preaching about Jesus Christ which is driving hordes of people into Nigerian churches. Is there any possibility of using the “Jesus” message to transform the religious landscape of this and other European nations? This is the subject of discussion on thi Pastoral Forum.

Glenda Magloire, president and founder of Foundation Community Building International Network Netherlands (CBINN).

Today, and more than ever before in human history, women are being pressured to perform to earn raises into positions of prominence and honour. Over the years, they have been given the idea that they are not good or powerful enough. The male folks have also made it more difficult by not accepting women and giving them easily the credits they deserve. This twisted perception has largely retarded women's progress and social status in general. The truth, however, is that women already have much of what they are still striving and working hard for today. To unveil more of this empowering facts, we encourage you to tune in to Monday's broadcast with our guest, Glenda Magloire, president and founder of Foundation Community Building International Network Netherlands (CBINN).
