Rebuke: Well spotted. Reminds me of a classmate during secondary school exam in Bible Knowledge and one question asked us to write down the Lord's Prayer and to my amazement a classmate asked me for assistance. After the exam I reminded him that every morning during assembly we all recited the Lords prayer and to my amazement again he told me point blank that he does not know the words to the Lords prayer and he just chews his mouth every morning during assembly. We had another character in my class who was asked to define photosynthesis during Biology class and he said the following :- Plants and animals have to battle. Photosynthesis is the battle ground where plants and animals battle themselves. You can force the horse to the river but you cant force it t drink water. No be every body mind dey for school especially when they were making money legally outside school by trading or by raiding their parents safe to live large on the streets of Lagos DURING the school day. The ashawo and Igbo joints also did not help the concentration of these "senior boys" who were forced to school by parents who did not go to secondary school themselves. 2 Likes 1 Share |

On a lighter note, the guy for talk say him be Medical Student na. Medical students in Naija take REAL skeletons piecemeal to their rooms (sometimes) off campus to study all the muscle origin and insertion points etc on them. But then again if the police ask him to name a few muscles that originate or are inserted into the skull he will fail. Reminds me of someone who used a hired passport with visa to go Yankee and the passport had the occupation of the owner as Maths lecturer and the immigration officers at the Yankee end asked him to solve a simple Maths equation and the Mechanic (his real job) failed and he was promptly sent back to Naija. His dad did not let him hear the last of it and constantly reminded him that if he had studied his books instead of pursuing rascality whilst in secondary school he would not have been deported. 1 Like 1 Share |

hardbody: Not a few people in the UK suffer from a mental health condition caused by too much darkness and too little daylight. The condition is aptly called SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) and is a type of depression that comes and goes in a seasonal pattern. One of the treatments for this condition is light therapy – where a special lamp called a light box is used to simulate exposure to sunlight. One of the symptoms of Seasonal affective disorder is decreased sex drive which might explain why a lot of wives in the UK lose interest in sex over time. SAD is sometimes known as "winter depression" because the symptoms are usually more apparent and more severe during the winter. Some people with SAD may have symptoms during the summer and feel better during the winter. Overview - Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that comes and goes in a seasonal pattern. SAD is sometimes known as " winter depression " because the symptoms are usually more apparent and more severe during the winter. Some people with SAD may have symptoms during the summer and feel better during the winter. Symptoms of SAD Symptoms of SAD can include: a persistent low mood a loss of pleasure or interest in normal everyday activities irritability feelings of despair, guilt and worthlessness feeling lethargic (lacking in energy) and sleepy during the day sleeping for longer than normal and finding it hard to get up in the morning craving carbohydrates and gaining weight difficulty concentrating decreased sex drive For some people, these symptoms can be severe and have a significant impact on their day-to-day activities. When to see a GP You should consider seeing the GP if you think you might have SAD and you're struggling to cope. The GP can carry out an assessment to check your mental health. They may ask you about your mood, lifestyle, eating habits and sleeping patterns, plus any seasonal changes in your thoughts and behaviour. What causes SAD? The exact cause of SAD is not fully understood, but it's often linked to reduced exposure to sunlight during the shorter autumn and winter days. The main theory is that a lack of sunlight might stop a part of the brain called the hypothalamus working properly, which may affect the: production of melatonin – melatonin is a hormone that makes you feel sleepy; in people with SAD, the body may produce it in higher than normal levels production of serotonin – serotonin is a hormone that affects your mood, appetite and sleep; a lack of sunlight may lead to lower serotonin levels, which is linked to feelings of depression body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) – your body uses sunlight to time various important functions, such as when you wake up, so lower light levels during the winter may disrupt your body clock and lead to symptoms of SAD It's also possible that some people are more vulnerable to SAD as a result of their genes, as some cases appear to run in families. Treatments for SAD A range of treatments are available for SAD. The GP will recommend the most suitable treatment programme for you. The main treatments are: lifestyle measures – including getting as much natural sunlight as possible, exercising regularly and managing your stress levels light therapy – where a special lamp called a light box is used to simulate exposure to sunlight talking therapies – such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or counselling antidepressant medicine – such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/seasonal-affective-disorder-sad/overview/ |

nepapole: Everybody get craze for head for UK and its just a matter of the percentage of craze and that comes with forcing humans to live like robots. For example in London there is now 1 CCTV Camera for every 13 people , meaning there are now 691,000 CCTV Cameras in London and the average Londoner is caught on CCTV 300 times a day. so, in the UK your every move in public is being caught on camera. https://www.cctv.co.uk/how-many-cctv-cameras-are-there-in-london/ UK women are all neurotic and the black women in the UK have resident demons living inside them and their legion of demons gets unleashed when they are arguing / quarreling with a man. A wise woman builds her home but a foolish woman tears her home down with her very own hands. UK women with their nasty foul behaviors have spoilt the market for the tiny % of them that "might" be marriageable. 11 years ago, I was going to Heathrow airport on my way to Naija and the cab driver a Nigerian man in his 60's was narrating to me what happened to his friend some time back. His friend is also in his 60's and one day the friends wife woke her husband up in the middle of the night and told him to look at her n.akedness properly as that was going to be the last time he saw her n.aked and eventually the husband found out that she had started dating a younger man. Then, I was shocked to learn that a Naija woman at that age who is meant to correct the younger women in London is also part of the game to frustrate Naija men who are trying their best to be the head of the home in a country and culture where the man is seen by all and sundry including the laws as being at the bottom of the pecking order below children, women, cats and dogs in that order. And this is why more and more "smart" Naija men in the UK are deciding to adopt a "bearish" look on rushing into any new permanent relationships as the words "caveat emptor" doesn't even start to describe the horrors resident in falling into the trap of a "latently" angry Nigerian woman in London because with a Naija woman in London, once the initial love fades or reduces which it WILL after 1 - 2 kids, the undercurrent of PHD "Pull Him Down" at all costs directed at men by some Naija wives in London knows no bounds. 21 Likes 6 Shares |

Sonnobax15: Religious Experiences Shrink Part of the Brain A study links life-changing religious experiences, like being “born again,” with atrophy in the hippocampus The article, “Religious factors and hippocampal atrophy in late life,” by Amy Owen and colleagues at Duke University represents an important advance in our growing understanding of the relationship between the brain and religion. The study, published March 30 in PLoS One, showed greater atrophy in the hippocampus in individuals who identify with specific religious groups as well as those with no religious affiliation. It is a surprising result, given that many prior studies have shown religion to have potentially beneficial effects on brain function, anxiety, and depression. A number of studies have evaluated the acute effects of religious practices, such as meditation and prayer, on the human brain. A smaller number of studies have evaluated the longer term effects of religion on the brain. Such studies, like the present one, have focused on differences in brain volume or brain function in those people heavily engaged in meditation or spiritual practices compared to those who are not. And an even fewer number of studies have explored the longitudinal effects of doing meditation or spiritual practices by evaluating subjects at two different time points. In this study, Owen et al. used MRI to measure the volume of the hippocampus, a central structure of the limbic system that is involved in emotion as well as in memory formation. They evaluated the MRIs of 268 men and women aged 58 and over, who were originally recruited for the NeuroCognitive Outcomes of Depression in the Elderly study, but who also answered several questions regarding their religious beliefs and affiliation. The study by Owen et al. is unique in that it focuses specifically on religious individuals compared to non-religious individuals. This study also broke down these individuals into those who are born again or who have had life-changing religious experiences. Advertisement The results showed significantly greater hippocampal atrophy in individuals reporting a life-changing religious experience. In addition, they found significantly greater hippocampal atrophy among born-again Protestants, Catholics, and those with no religious affiliation, compared with Protestants not identifying as born-again. The authors offer the hypothesis that the greater hippocampal atrophy in selected religious groups might be related to stress. They argue that some individuals in the religious minority, or those who struggle with their beliefs, experience higher levels of stress. This causes a release of stress hormones that are known to depress the volume of the hippocampus over time. This might also explain the fact that both non-religious as well as some religious individuals have smaller hippocampal volumes. This is an interesting hypothesis. Many studies have shown positive effects of religion and spirituality on mental health, but there are also plenty of examples of negative impacts. There is evidence that members of religious groups who are persecuted or in the minority might have markedly greater stress and anxiety as they try to navigate their own society. Other times, a person might perceive God to be punishing them and therefore have significant stress in the face of their religious struggle. Others experience religious struggle because of conflicting ideas with their religious tradition or their family. Even very positive, life-changing experiences might be difficult to incorporate into the individual’s prevailing religious belief system and this can also lead to stress and anxiety. Perceived religious transgressions can cause emotional and psychological anguish. This “religious” and “spiritual pain” can be difficult to distinguish from pure physical pain. And all of these phenomena can have potentially negative effects on the brain. Thus, Owen and her colleagues certainly pose a plausible hypothesis. They also cite some of the limitations of their findings, such as the small sample size. More importantly, the causal relationship between brain findings and religion is difficult to clearly establish. Is it possible, for example, that those people with smaller hippocampal volumes are more likely to have specific religious attributes, drawing the causal arrow in the other direction? Further, it might be that the factors leading up to the life-changing events are important and not just the experience itself. Since brain atrophy reflects everything that happens to a person up to that point, one cannot definitively conclude that the most intense experience was in fact the thing that resulted in brain atrophy. So there are many potential factors that could lead to the reported results. (It is also somewhat problematic that stress itself did not correlate with hippocampal volumes since this was one of the potential hypotheses proposed by the authors and thus, appears to undercut the conclusions.) One might ask whether it is possible that people who are more religious suffer greater inherent stress, but that their religion actually helps to protect them somewhat. Religion is frequently cited as an important coping mechanism for dealing with stress. This new study is intriguing and important. It makes us think more about the complexity of the relationship between religion and the brain. This field of scholarship, referred to as neurotheology, can greatly advance our understanding of religion, spirituality, and the brain. Continued studies of both the acute and chronic effects of religion on the brain will be highly valuable. For now, we can be certain that religion affects the brain--we just are not certain how. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/religious-experiences-shrink-part-of-brain/ |

prittyboi: In the UK for example, health is free from cradle to grave if you get papers or acquire citizenship later on. ALL Government schools are free and of top notch quality. Parents get some form of child benefit and working family tax credit between the ages of 0 and 18 of the child. From age 18, students get generous student loans from the student loans company owned by the Govt and they don't start paying back the loan until they start working and even at that they have to be earning above a certain amount before they can be asked for any repayment and the repayments are very affordable and if they don't get a job quick enough after graduation, as long as they regularly show the Govt the steps they are taking to find a job, their FULL rent is paid by the Govt and if they are below 25 they get £311 monthly extra allowance on top of their rent and if above 25 they get £393 monthly extra on top of the Govt paying their FULL rent. That's why it is hard to see any burglar proof (fire hazard) on any UK window because unless you are on drugs and need money to fund your drug habit you will never be desperate enough to break into someones house to steal even if you are unemployed because the Govt takes care of the basics for you. Water, light, food, house according to Fela Kuti's Song - Original Sufferhead. An unemployed person who later finds work is always too happy to contribute his taxes and National insurance contributions into the Govt coffers 'cos the Govt was there for him with a SAFETY NET that prevented him from hitting rock bottom or becoming destitute when he was unemployed and it is this system of paying your taxes and NI that funds the UK social security system. Its not rocket science but our wicked leaders in Nigeria some of whom used to live in the UK will never introduce this kind of equitable system in Nigeria because that would mean that the pool of millions of downtrodden Nigerians they can pick their servants, drivers, cooks, cleaners, gatemen from will dry up and they will become demystified because no one will then be desperate enough to bow down to these Nigerian politicians out of poverty. When some people criticize Nigerians wicked politicians, its because we KNOW that there is a better more equitable system that will work into perpetuity that our wicked leaders are not introducing. It takes just 1 kind hearted leader with compassion to introduce a comprehensive system of social security like what the British introduced in 1948 in Nigeria and the servitude of the masses will end. But will our wicked Nigerian politicians listen  ?10 Likes 4 Shares |

AbujaCitiBlog: Very true. Unfortunately the rest of us men have to live by these laws IF we still want to keep living in the West. For example, in Western countries if your wife says for you to get up mid way during sex just when you are about to cross the finish line and you refuse to get up and insist on reaching the finish line a few seconds away, she can report you to the police for marital rape and you will get 8 years in jail. Also, if you have sex with a woman (wife or girl friend) multiple times in a night, you must receive her express consent BEFORE each insertion or else she can charge you for rape even if the first insertion was consensual and you just assumed that the second one was with her consent. This was what was used to nail Julian Assange when they ACTUALLY wanted to nail him for releasing the Wikileaks files. |

In those days many years before the internet when Nigerian post offices were still functional, you could send a letter to a pen pal in England from Naija and they would reply with a message that would be published in a Nigerian magazine or newspaper. And there was a time when Nigerian companies and Govt departments advertised juicy jobs with company houses in London magazines and newspapers to lure Nigerians back home to plug a shortage of skilled staff at home. 2 Likes 1 Share |

| Crime / Woman Promises Boyfriend Sex, Ties Him Up And Stabs Him To Death by Ilekokonit: 6:55pm On May 29 |
Primary school teacher promises boyfriend Sex, Ties him Up and stabs him to death and buries him like ‘building waste' Patrick Sawer Wed, 29 May 2024 at 3:30 pm BST·7-min read A primary school teacher buried her murdered boyfriend as if he was “building waste”, a court has been told. Fiona Beal had planned the killing of Nick Billingham in meticulous detail, including buying a utility knife in advance and then purchasing a spade and other burial equipment, prosecutors told an Old Bailey sentencing hearing. Beal pleaded guilty mid-trial last month to the murder of Mr Billingham, whose partly mummified remains were discovered in their Northamptonshire garden, four and a half months after he was last seen. She had earlier admitted manslaughter, claiming that she had experienced a “loss of control” when she killed the 42-year-old builder, adding that they had a “coercive” relationship. On Wednesday, the Old Bailey heard that the 50-year-old had lured Mr Billingham into the bedroom with the promise of sex, tied him to the bed with cable ties and stabbed him in the neck. She then hid his body and told friends and family that he had left her for another woman. Hugh Davies KC, for the prosecution, told the court: “This was murder and no less than murder. Whatever was or was not happening in the defendant’s relationship with Nick Billingham … nothing is now contended to justify in fact or law the defendant’s actions in killing him. “Even if the defendant was as unhappy in the relationship as she has claimed, she had multiple options to end it without violence. She could have simply asked him to leave.” But instead of relying on the support of her family and friends to find a way forward without her boyfriend, Beal “wanted the simplicity of a new life without him, the status of a victim of his supposedly running off and the house to herself”, said Mr Davies. He told His Honour Judge Mark Lucraft KC, the Recorder of London, Beal had “planned to execute [Billingham] and did, planned and delivered a false narrative as to his having had another affair, run off and ceasing to communicate”. Mr Davies said Beal had “planned for and took elaborate and sustained steps over a period of weeks to conceal her crime, including disposing of his body as if it was building waste in her garden, posed as him in communications with his friends, colleagues and family”. He added: “This was a murder with multiple aggravating features.” In a diary confession later found by police Beal, using the alter-ego Tulip 22, wrote that she had lured her partner of 17 years to his death with the promise of sex, stabbing him in the neck while they were in bed together on Nov 1, 2022. He was wearing an eye mask and his hands were tied with cables as part of a sex game when she stabbed him to the right side of his neck, cutting the right jugular vein. He was still masked and tied when his partially decomposed body was discovered months later. The killer’s journal revealed that Billingham’s last word to her as he lay dying was, “why?”. Beal’s journals recounted the murder in grim detail. She wrote: “I had smoked all day. I had a bath, I left the water in. He had been pushing for sex. I encouraged the bath with the incentive of sex afterwards. “While he was in the bath I kept the knife in my dressing gown pocket and then I had it in the drawer next to the bed. Billingham's 'partially wrapped and partially clothed' remains were found buried in a makeshift grave. “I brought a chisel, bin bag and cable ties too. I got him to wear an eye mask.” She went on: “My last words to him when he asked why was that he was not going to do to [another female] what he had done to me.” In cryptic notes later discovered by police, Beal wrote: “confession . . final farewell . . I’m not a total monster. I know what I did.” Beal was arrested in March 2022 after being discovered at a holiday property near Kendal, in Cumbria, where she had tried to take her own life. After police recovered her ‘Tulip 22’ journals giving a chilling account of how she had planned and then carried out a killing, they excavated the garden. After four days of digging, officers found Billingham’s “partially wrapped and partially clothed” remains, buried in a makeshift grave of breeze blocks, old blankets and timber filled with compost and ten 22.5kg bags of Cotswold stone that Beal had bought from B&Q using Mr BIllingham’s card, and topped off with a plant pot for decorative effect. “It demonstrated nothing but complete contempt,” said Mr Davies. During the hearing, Mr Davies read out a heartfelt letter Mr Billingham had written to Beal after he had an affair during their 17-year relationship. In the letter, Mr Billingham accepted his faults and described Beal as “kind-hearted”, “generous” and “the most beautiful woman in the world”. He wrote: “I promise to never again belittle you or make you feel rubbish again. “My body, my heart, my love has been yours since the day I met you and will be until the day I die. I love you with all my heart.” Beal, dressed in a black cardigan and pink floral dress, listened in the dock – occasionally taking notes – as the prosecution outlined the case against her. Mr Billingham’s mother, Yvonne Valentine, sat just a few feet away, in the now empty jury box, accompanied by her husband, Russell. In a victim witness statement read to the court Mrs Valentine told of the moment, shortly after the murder, when Beal had invited her to the house to wrap Christmas presents and have a drink, while her son’s body lay just a few feet from where she was sitting. Mrs Valentine said: “You sat in your front room with me, having a casual chat with me, having a Christmas drink with me and the whole time, you knew that you had killed my son and buried him only feet from where I was sat. “I felt sad and embarrassed that my son had left you, but I shouldn’t have wasted my energy and concern on you, you had planned it all and at no point have you ever given me the same consideration or thought about the devastation you caused by killing my son.” Addressing Beale, Mrs Valentine went on to say in her victim impact statement: “Nick was my first born, my beautiful little boy with a cheeky smile! Nick was so loved by his family, his friends and work colleagues. “My mother, Nick’s grandmother had to endure the news that you had killed her first born grandchild, just weeks before her own death and I witnessed the impact of this news on her, as I watched my mother’s health decline and die with a broken heart, all caused by you. “You’re a coward. You’re evil. You killed him and then spun a cruel web of lies. You showed no regrets. You wrote ‘I’m not a total monster. I know what I did’. Now everyone knows exactly what you did and they will see you for the evil, total monster you are. “You killed my son in the most heinous way. You made sure he was defenceless and executed him and watched him bleed to death.” Mrs Valentine added: “I want you to spend the rest of your life going over what you did to Nick, the pain and suffering that you put him through when you killed him and the total disregarding for him as a human being when you buried him like he was a piece of rubbish in his own back garden. “I want you to remember that he will always be loved and that he will always be missed. You have faced judgement in court and will now have to face gods’ judgement for eternity.” The court was told that expert witnesses at Beal’s trial had testified that her mental condition at the time of the murder “did not justify a finding of diminished responsibility” and that her substance abuse “may have played a greater than previously thought role in the killing”. Beal will be sentenced when the hearing concludes after hearing mitigation on Thursday. 2 Shares

That's how Stella Obasanjo wanted to look good for OBJ for her upcoming 60th birthday and flew to Europe for liposuction fat removal surgery without telling President Obasanjo. The surgery was successful but alas there is some fat that is necessary for the human body to function well and her surgery removed too much of this vital fat and after the operation she suffered an asthmatic attack as a result of the fat removed from her body and died in traffic in a motor ambulance that was rushing her to a resuscitation center. My approach to anything health is if its not broken, don't fix it. I avoid doctors and hospitals like the plague although this might be because I was a medical Student at UI for 4 years and 20% of my classmates cheated to pass exams on top of a classmate whose dad was a Prof of medicine and he used to see exam questions before the actual exam date and he would circulate same to his close knit circle of friends before the exam date and they will end up scoring 100% in the exams consistently ??1 Like 1 Share |

Surgical instrument that pierces your skin and draws blood can infect you with whatever it picked up from the last patient since even the process of sterilizing surgical instruments does not eradicate all germs / infectious materials hence why 563 UK dental patients needed HIV tests because dental equipment was not sterilized properly.

arrangee: Baba its not looking good and you should start familiarizing yourselves with LATE night Naija beer parlours in the city you live in as that will be the saving grace that saves you from being pushed to the wall to retaliate, hit and injure her and end up in prison one day and lose your job and freedom. Come to think of it, she may be intentionally provoking you to hit her and end up in prison and then she will claim to the authorities that she is an abused wife and get sympathy papers and money from the government. My ex that I took to the UK and gave UK papers to on a platter of gold used to shriek at the top of her voice when ever we had arguments so that the neighbors will call police and this is what they do when they don't want to call the police themselves but they will later do. Your wife is tired of the marriage and she is trying her best to tell you so but out of a sense of duty to look after her, you don't want to cut her loose and whilst this is noble of you, YOU HAVE TO THINK OF NUMBER ONE (i.e YOURSELF FIRST) because if one day she attacks you with an object and you hit her back (as this is the self defence instinct resident in EVERY man) and she dies or is seriously injured, you WILL lose your job and your freedom and I think that is what she wants. Worse still, what if she attacks you with a knife as you sleep and kills you in the process ??Its even better that you don't yet have kids as it would have been difficult to cut her loose with kids and in any case she WOULD have turned those kids against you anyways, kicked you out of the house and claimed single parent money from the government. There is a reason the UK is the single parent capital of UK (the money the Govt gives single mothers). Again, you have to start spending extended times away from her in the many Naija restaurants in London and you will be OK. You don't even need to leave your phone switched on or take her calls when you are in the restaurant and this gives you time to think things through. If you no sabi drink alcohol, you have to start learning how to as that is what will keep you sane and out of jail for murder if you decide to hit her back one day. It never gets better and it will only get worse with these London wives. ONCE THEY START, THEY NEVER STOP. |

8starmember: Hope Wike does not drink himself to death just to drown his sorrows with expensive ogogoro. Serves Wike right though for bringing Tinubu a well known international drug baron and treasury looter to power. |
