at her age she's not sure of her career but she's talking about marriage and a job, oh well, someone must have made an impression on her or mummy's raising an independent woman...

Wow,sad ....May God comfort your family.

Studying these diseases is actually very different from being the patient involved. Well, this is a very good way to sensitize the public. Whoever said pregnancy isn't a big deal Well what you must know is the Embryo acts like a cancer i.e it invades, feed & protect itself by the mother and then decreases immunity against 'itself'. So, its your responsibility to take care of yourself during this period. There are so many things to take note of during pregnancy but today, i'll stick to PIH (Pregnancy Induced Hypertension) is one of the major causes of death in maternal mortality, so let every woman out there take extra precautions. I will list below some of the risk factors and tests to make sure you get done when pregnant;

Risk Factors:

Nulliparous women influence by Parity, race, ethnicity, genetic predisposition

Chronic hypertension, multifetal gestation, maternal old age(>35 yrs), obesity, African, African-American ethnicity

Maternal weight and the risk of preeclampsia is progressive(try to control your weight during pregnancy)


Tests (or things to check):
- BP ≥ 160/110 mmHg (confirm with Roll-over test)
- Proteinuria 2.0g/24hrs or ≥2+dipstick
 - Serum creatinine >1.2mg/dl unless known to be previously elevated
  - Platelets < 100.000/mm3
  - Microangiopathic hemolysis (Increased LDH)
  - Elevated ALT or AST (Liver tests)
  - Persistent headache or other cerebral or visual disturbance
  - Persistent epigastric pain
- Persistent Edema/swelling


Minimum Criteria
  - BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg after 20 wks gestation
  - Proteinuria ≥ 300mg/24hrs or ≥1+ dipstick

I do not mean to lecture here tho' but this story touched me so much and I feel I should at least contribute in a little way to help someone out there. Btw, I have to state here that 'Salt Restriction' does not work in THIS CASE, if at all its recommended it's for Placebo. Lastly, to Doctors out there, any patient in such situation should please be given Magnesium Sulphate in addition to the other drugs, its not just for the treatment of Seizures in Eclampsia but it's very good as prophylaxis in Preeclampsia. I really hope this little information helps someone out there.

Moderator, pls post it it the appropriate section

This video reveals operations of some Nigerian scammers in Malaysia and how they tricked a 51 years old lady out of her life savings, promising her love.

The video is touching, watch it above:

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease with 3 major types which are:

Type I: Insulin-dependent DM: the body can't produce Insulin on its own due to failure of the Insulin producing cells in the pancreas. This can only be treated by injecting Insulin

Type II: Insulin-Resistance DM: which can be due to low Insulin secretion or defective response of body tissue to the Insulin that's produced. This is the most common, which can be treated by Diet, Lifestyle modification, drugs etc but eventually will also need Insulin.

Gestational DM: resembles type II, but occurs only in about 5% pregnancies. It can disappear after delivery, its fully treatable under medical supervision but about 50% of affected women later develop type II DM.

So depending on which one the person has ofcourse there are drugs, herbal therapies etc to help/improve the immune system to delay the onset of Insulin therapy. But in Type I, I know the patient must start with Insulin therapy from the moment of diagnosis.

Nursing is way better than being an anatomist esp in Nigeria.

Y was dis shifted to Religion is it because 'Pastor' is added to the name or bacause it was preached in d church? He was making political statements, so let it remain in Politics

Pastor Tunde still remains a man of God tho' cos d gifts and calling of God are without repentance, but he needs to deactivate his political life. Its not helpful

THE General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly and running mate of Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) during the April 16 presidential election, Pastor Tunde Bakare, declared that it would be fool-hardy for “any bastard and the son of a concubine” to assume the leadership mantle of the Yoruba.

While preaching in his church in Lagos on the topic: “It is time to speak”, the fiery cleric said: “Look at the madness going on in Yoruba land. slowpoke, nincompoop, people without family background causing problem because of money, ill gotten wealth. If a town or settlement is at peace, the bastard there is yet to grow up.

“If you are a bastard, there is nothing you can do to cover up with money. Where is your father’s compound? A bastard pretending to be a patriot. We are proud of our heritage because we have goodly heritage. There are those who call themselves nobles who are under the influence of Jezebel. Until they drink kainkain, they cannot function. They pretend to be larger than life,” he added.

He likened the person angling to take over the leadership of the Yoruba to the Biblical Abimelech who forcefully took over a kingdom that did not belong to him and was eventually destroyed.

The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) Vice Presidential candidate declared further: “If you are trusting the son of a concubine to deliver you, you are in trouble”.

On the 18th anniversary of the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election won by the late Chief M.K.O. Abiola, he said: “I warned Abiola not to contest election but he wouldn’t listen to me. I said in one of my messages that was there no elder left in Abiola’s home to warn him not to contest? When I gave the message, Sunny Okosun stormed my church that I got it wrong this time around. I also told them what God said concerning both the National Republican Convention and the Social Democratic Party that the two parties would fail but nobody listened. I foretold the annulment also and Abiola wrote me after that asking: “What is God saying now?” and I replied: “Unless you ask Him”. The Yoruba leaders who said MKO Abiola would not stay in prison, that it would cause a serious crisis in the country, it turned out to be an empty boast. The same Yoruba leader who said Nigeria would go to blazes if he died in the gulag didn’t do anything when he was brought in a sack to Lagos for burial, instead their sons and daughters were made ministers”.

On President Goodluck Jonathan’s victory, he said: “Those who colluded with Jonathan to rig us out will suffer the consequence. After three years, the truth will unfold. If Jonathan’s victory was without rigging, everything will be well but if they rigged and are trying to cover up, the truth will soon unfold. The thing that will destroy the government is with them. Why did they allow the data capturing machine to capture us? One of our prayers at the presidential election petition that they should subject all the ballot papers they used in the South-South and South-East to a forensic text has been answered. “We learnt that Jega’s office got burnt the same afternoon the judgment was given in our favour. We pray that all the ballot papers are still intact. To me, all that we desire to happen is what June 12 did to the military. April 16 will do same to election riggers in Nigeria.
“In a particular ward in Calabar, only 6,468 people registered but they recorded over 70,000 votes for Jonathan alone during the presidential election. All these irregularities will not stand. They blamed the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) for the violence after the election, what brings violence is corruption. The crisis that has erupted in Nigeria before, was it by Buhari also? Why did it take six days for the President of Nigeria to talk about this issue? Is he not the Chief Security Officer of Nigeria?

“Let’s not give a dog a bad name to hang it. General Buhari is not responsible for what happened in any form. It happened in Egypt, it is happening right now all over the world. The people deprived are fighting for their own survival and challenging the power of incumbency that is what has happened in our nation. I thank God it has been curtailed. I ‘m not interested in bloodletting, I have never being a violent person”.

On the detention of the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, he said: “I don’t have the details about the corruption allegation preferred against him. If by tomorrow, he tells me that he is guilty, I will tell you. But let them treat him anyhow, he will spill the beans and you will know that it is kleptomaniac that is going on in Nigeria. They are all thieves, government by thieves. Because if they jail him, he will name others who are involved in shady deals too. It is a systemic failure. They are all the same. What is the difference between the ACN and PDP? ACN is not different from PDP at all. There is no difference between ACN and PDP. In fact, ACN is the other side of the coin of PDP.

http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2011/06/12/lagos-alerts-on-e-coli-epidemic-outbreak/

Against the backdrop of reported cases of the E-Coli infections in parts of Europe, the Lagos State Government has called on the appropriate authorities to mount surveillance at the nation’s borders to ensure that the deadly disease does not spread to the country.           
The term ‘E-coli’ is an abbreviation for Escherichia Cole.  E-coli is a bacteria that causes severe cramps and diarrhea as well as severe health complications and had so far killed scores of people in Europe.           
Director General, Lagos State Safety Commission, Mrs. Odebunmi Dominga said at the weekend that though the outbreak had not occurred in Nigeria, there was the need for governments at all levels to mount surveillance at the borders to ensure that vegetables such as lettuce and others imported into the country were tested to ensure that they were free from the disease.           
Speaking at the weekend in Lagos, South West Nigeria, Dominga stated that the disease could be very deadly if not detected on time and called on Lagosians to be on the alert if they observe certain symptoms associated with the diseases.
            According to her, the symptoms included nausea or vomiting, watery bloody diarrhea, cramps and fever, adding that the infection comes mainly from eating uncooked ground beef, drinking contaminated water, drinking unpasteurised milk, working with cattle and lack of hygiene.           
She stated that the origin of the outbreak remains unknown, but said the current spread of the infection was from Europe, Germany in particular, while caseshad been recorded in the last few days in India, meaning that the infection was transcending the continent of Europe.           
Dominga quoted Mr. Segun Ekundayo, an official of the Nigerian Institute of Food Science and Technology, NIFST as saying recently at an event that there was the need to focus on prevention of diseases and poisoning from processing of food from farms and that there was a need for implementation of strategies to regularly review and assess the situation.           
“Though it can be a serious health problem, it does not require any special treatment except drinking a lot of water and watching out for complications.           
“Unless prescribed by a qualified medical doctor, do not take medicines to stop the diarrhea.  This medicine, if taken without proper medical advice, might keep the intestine from getting rid of the E-coli germ,” she said.           
“Members of the public are hereby enjoined to watch out for any of the symptoms and report suspected cases to the nearest hospitals.  In all, attitudinal change towards personal hygiene is vital in preventing any form of disease; it all starts from home, work place, market and other places where we interact,” she added.

Fellow Nigerians: On behalf of my husband, His Excellency Dr. Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan, I want to thank you all for answering my call to please pless ya hands on the umblera everywhere and every time. My fellow widows and fellow shidrens, this has been a long journey.

From the market stalls of Abakaliki to the farmsteads of Zungeru, you listened to my voice and voted massively for my husband irrespective of your nationality. We are truly grateful. God is on the throne and it is well.

Now that we have finish election, I congratulate Professor Attahiru Jega and all the members of INEC for their success. The enemies tried but Nigeria has finally done it. Even all the international people who came to watch the election to make sure we do it properly, I am sure that when they report back to all the people that send them here to come and watch the election, they will say that Nigeria has carry third position in the business of democracy in Africa after South Africa and Ghana. This is a big ashivment my fellow Nigerians because it is not easy to carry third in democracy in the whole of Africa. Irrespective of my nationality, I am proud of Nigeria and Nigerians. If we continue like this, we will carry forst in 2015 by the special grace of God.

As I have told you before, my husband and Sambo is a good people and they will always deliver the dividends of this new democracy that you have awarded them. To all the faithful PDP members who voted umblera irrespective of your political affiliation, I say continue to have faith in our great party. To members of other political parties who did not vote for us irrespective of your political affiliation, we shall try to earn your trust and my husband will try to be the President of all of you. To the millions of youths who answered our call to come under the umblera, God will reward you by making you leaders of tomorrow. And if you have not already done so, please go to Facebook and like your President so as to move Nigeria forward with him. I am pleased to inform you that we are going to do raffle draw on Facebook for young friends of the president. The youth that carry forst will get to stand behind Chief Tony Anenih, Chief Bode George, and Baba Obasanjo on the presidential podium during inauguration ceremony on May 29, 2011.

To all my fellow Senators and Reps who also won election, remember that you were all once a shidren like the President so don’t go to the National Assembly and be making life difficult for him again. We need your cooperation to move Nigeria forward. Sometimes, the National Assembly will always be sitting on the budget for a long time and the president will not be able to do dehvehlopement projects. They will then carry rumour and talk opata that he spent excess crude money if he tries to look for another money to spend for dehvehlopement projects. I appeal to you to cooperate with him in the coming dispensation.

I also appeal to my fellow brothers and sisters who have just been elected Governors or declared Governors by tribunal especially in the rascality states of the southwest. Even if you are not umblera Governor, it will be good for you to cooperate with Ebele in the Governor’s foroom so as to move Nigeria forward. Do not do like Bukola Saraki who turn himself to president one time like this just because he was chairman of Governor’s foroom. As for our eminent stakeholders like Dimeji Bankole, Bode George, Iyiola Omisore, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Gbenga Daniel, Bayo Alao Akala, Iyabo Obasanjo and so on and so forth who lost out to the rascals in that part of Nigeria, let me assure you, my brothers and sisters, that Ebele will try to find something for them, maybe Ambassador or Minister or board chairman, so that they can carry their experience back inside government and uphold our beloved Baba Obasanjo’s legacy as the founder of modern Nigeria.

I want to seize this opportunity to appeal to all the people that are fighting and killing in the north to accept the results of this election and let us build Nigeria together. They should remember that the life of every Nigerian is precious and we should not be killing ourselves to become widows. The killers should remember that it was a woman who born them. They were once a shidren and now adult now they are killing women and children and making some children a widow all over the north. I appeal to them to stop the violent.

Finally my fellow Nigerians, I wish to remember you all that we need to start working for 2015 as from today now that you have given my husband his first term so that he can carry second term in 2015. We all know that only one term will not be enough for all the big big dehvehlopement projects that he wants to do for great country.

Pless ya hands for progress!
Pless ya hands for unity!
Pless ya hands for the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Yours Sincerely,
Her Excellency Dr. Dame Patience Jonathan, JP, NTA, CSSP, NGO
First Lady, The Federal Republic of Nigeria

Gamine, ure welcome!

All this survival tactics, we all have them inside and y'all will naturally adapt & fit into it. . . . But anyway y'all r standing on the shoulder of those who have not only gone ahead but those that have succeeded with the principles they taught y'all. Trust me its better u follow ''principles with proofs'' (d likes of Papa- their principles have not fail them yet), &i want 2 believe y'all have been imparted with what is needed to succeed in life.

@all doz talking about the poor etc. . .not everyone in CU is from a rich home, some are priviledged to be on scholarships based on academic excellence
by organizations, individuals& even Bishop himself.

@all, lets celebrate success when we see/hear of it. Ur opinions honestly don't matter, in cases like dis.

1LUV!!!

roflmao @ Joebo's last post!!!

CU grads. . . .Congratulations again! Y'all have made us proud and my prayer 4 y'all is dat y'all will continue 2 be d envy of ur peers.

@haters/''destructive'' critics . . . it takes little/ nothing to say ''Congrats''. 1st Class ''might be a biggie &worst still from a private uni esp CU'' but some made it, so wat would it cost u 2 'imagine' they deserved it afterall u dont know them all. And whether they are prepared for d real world or not, its not for you 2 decide. . . .they'l survive whicheva way innit.

BTW, it's a new yr now. . .hopefully, more stories will surface

WOW!!!!! Beautiful, Wondaful,Very nice thread. . .just saw this 2nite. I'm sure il v a nice sleep dreaming of 'marriage'!!!

2 all doz who lost loved ones , God is the reason u'vnt lost everything & doz facin tough times . . .it is my prayer that God will put smiles on ur faces.
w/o God, it'ld v been worse!

I luv,appreciate &pray 4y'all . . .IT IS WELL!

I really feel this topic. . .I know some1 wit a similar situation but the difference is the guy in dis case has a drive, a vision,a dream. But still, nothing seems to be coming out of his efforts. It's like as he tries something, almost at its peak, it crashes again. D girl on the otherhand, has tried her best to help the guy wit alot of things. . .I mean both of them have really tried everything possible (prayer, fasting, investing, sowing et al) same stories, nothing happens. They love eachother and believe in his future, but for how long can they eventually wait it really saddening and breaks my heart, if God will just turn situations around 4them.

I know God hears and i believe in patience, but my dear, in a case where one (man/woman) lacks a drive/vision (@least something to hope on), d best u can do is forget every form of relationship and help him find himself, help him 'retrieve' his childhood aspirations . . .be patient with him. U might eventually move on but leave him a better person!!!

All d best. . .1luv!

@Toyin, seriously the way she described it was really funny. . .d disgust was very evident!

E-baby:

I know u guys might think am exaggerating, but am not oh, it's just the truth, you should have seen the way the officer doing the visa was using style to cover his mouth since he could with stand the horrible smell

My dear, I feel u! Just dat d way u xpressed d disgust was really funny. I couldn't help but laff

E-baby:

@topic

Why am I not surprised at all since majority of Naija men and guys breath stink expect my love off course. For example, I was at the Nigeria embassy with Islander on Monday morning, oh my gosh if you see how this so called Naija men/guys polluted the air with their smelly mouth, I felt like vomiting right there, the smell was so unbearable that I begin to wonder if their so called wife/girlfriends kiss them. There was this particular guy sitting close to me that his breathing smells like stinky anus mixed with rotten eggs and onion.

They need to see the dentist, because no amount of mouth wash or gem can cure that horrible smell.

Am sorry I will not even have a chat with someone with a mouth odor no to even talk about dating the person, kia that is the biggest turn off for me

lmao

Funny thread! lmao

youngmayor:

PLS NO FLASHIING BECAUSE IT KILLL MY BATTERY

I miss Home/ Xmas@ Home

They also appealed to residents not to regard them as robbers. “This is to inform the people in this community that we are not robbers but we just want to come and collect our Christmas presents from you without molestation.
