donroxy: Tafa Balogun wouldn't have gone to Jail in this administration !!!

On Point.

simpleseyi: EFCC's chairman is waiting for Jonathan to give him a list of unloyal Governors and citizens to prosecute, the same way Nuru Ribadu got his list from OBJ. EFCC is an institution set up by government to fight its enemies. Jonathan's enemies are just unfolding; so EFCC investigation/prosecution list is currently being compiled. If you criticise Jonathan too much on this forum, Seun Osewa's name will be on the list; his offence according to EFCC will be stealing a pencil when he was in primary 2A. Is that not corruption?

I doubt Jonathan will want to use a guy like Lamorde for his dirty works.
Lamorde is on sale to the highest bidder

when Lamorde was appointed EFCC chairman, I new that GEJ and his team of Anti-Corruption crusaders were just a bunch of jokers.
Unless you didn't know who was really behind graft in EFCC during Ribadu's time, will you trust Lamorde to fight corruption.

YOU CAN NOT SEE MY SCD BY JUST LOOKING AT ME.
I MAY LOOK A LITTLE TIRED BUT THAT COULD BE BECAUSE OF ANYTHING.
YES SCD IS A INVISIBLE ILLNESS BECAUSE IF WE DON'T SAY "I HAVE SCD" YOU MAY NEVER KNOW.

peppy luv: i dnt trust seun nd his gang they wil .....the money

Then try to get the correct account number. 'millions of get well soon' will not do this guy any good. But money can actually save his life.

no dullin: Is dat OJB's real name
who da heck got dis acct nos

I copied it from a post earlier on this thread.... I guess in page 2 of this thread.
Someone should confirm if that is the account we should pay into. Before I make a mistake.

He needs money and not all the millions of 'get well soon messages'. If the NL family can pay in as little as =N= 500 or =N=1000, it may actually make a lot of difference.

I believe that Love is more of Practical, than theory. I don't care how much of wailing that may go on about OJB, but if you want to help him do so without minding if others helped or not.
Your =N=500 or =N=1000 for recharge card, can help. If you are moved by his story, then no amount is little.

A =N=500 or =N=1000 donation from half the people on Nairaland will go along way. Instead of wailing and lamenting that his fellow stars are not helping, our widows mite may shame someone into action.

If you have been ill, if you have been at that point where you think everything has come to an end, but somehow God turned events around for you, then you will b moved to donate something no matter how little.
I have never met this guy OJB, but I have always heard his name from way back in school when some of friends where aspiring musicians though non made it to full time music career.
I copied this account details from the other thread, correct me if it is wrong.

Thank You.

berem: Since you don't know the meaning, i pray you will have a child who has Hydrocephalus, then you will run to Google and find out what it is!

berem,
That was a bit harsh. As you may already know, many Nigerians don't know about some of these things.
Hydrocephalus, as the name implies, simply means "Water in the Brain". This is the Layman's understanding.
It is a type of condition where excess water fills the brain of an infant, to the extent that it affects his/her cognitive abilities. It can also lead to the baby being unstable (e.g. the baby may be standing but will be wavering, or walking and wavering like someone who wants to fall). It can also make the babies head to swell abnormally.
I believe the condition could be managed by implanting a shunt, in the baby's brain to drain the water.
That is the little I know.

Grahamjnr: I used to vent my anger on my mum during d early years of my crisis. But wit years, I've learnt 2 bear d pain, agony, fear of d unknown as a sufferer of Sickle Cell with hope of eternal bliss some day!

Hey brother Warrior, can you send me a P.M........abiaaba4@gmail.com
I need to discuss with you in private.
Stand Firm and fight on.

I may not really like GEJ very much, but I really don't see what shaking hands with a Hezbollah personnel has to do with the allegation that GEJ has ties with the Terrorist wing of Hezbollah.
I think these guys (the lebanese) just want to drag GEJ's name in the mud (sometimes this President don't help his image).

mikedore: Gudday poster,i just came across ur post. Am a sickle cell sufferer,i have passed tru many challenges and i thank God 4 good health. I wil lik to meet other sufferes. Do we have a union. Pls reach me on cal or text. 0813xxxxxxx God bless.

Tried calling your number but it seems not to in use. why not email me at abiaaba4@gmail.com

RIP, Fausat.
so because of some suspected smuggled bags of rice, the custom officer was willing to Kill....

funshiba: Thanks alot....My ex was a former beauty pageant and a former Ms Lacasera, she defines beauty and a great heart....if i were AA i will go ahead and know i have to bother about keeping my wife alive and stay strong but, battling with the kids genotype and waiting till we get it right? No i dont want to put her through such, How many DandC WILL I SUBJECT HER TRU?

She is a strong woman and hardly fall ill except for Ulcer due to the strong pain killers, I wish i can make a difference


The truth is we knew bout our genotype from the beginning, but she is a lady with a great heart you will be a stone not to fall in love with her....I wished I could be strong for her, I wished I could be the one to make her happy...talking about it now makes me sad and tearing apart again...

A friend once told me that the way we can eradicate the ss Armenia is people stop crossing the s.... that was the point I tot i could make a strong decision for us... LORD PLEASE MAKE HER HAPPY AND GRANT HER A GOOD HOME...SHE DESERVES IT

Like I said before, you took the best decision. Believe she knows you took the best decision, but it is really hard to let go. I have been there, and I can tell you that she will find Love again and you will also find Love again.

standfirm: Wow!! I never knew that dis is possible cos am a carrier an my girlfriend is also AS and i hve told her we cnt get married bt she refuse 2 understand bt with dis, i cn go along with d relationship. Tanx.

WOW!! there is a way to go around not having SS babies...... Congratulations for this new insight you have just gained.
But I will urge you to go through my posts and think it through. If it were your sister, will you want her to go through D & C anytime she discovers that the child in her womb is SS? (when she could have avoided it)
Will you really be happy to know that you are healthy enough to have your own biological children but you chose to adopt not because of your love for kids, but because you damned scared of bringing forth a SS child with your wife?
How much do you think you love can really with stand?

pappilo: You are the slowpoke and you are extremely stupid. I know people that have died from complications as a result of SCA.

I doubt you can comprehend. Where in my post have I said people should have SCA children. I clearly stated there are ways around that. How do you legislate for the thousands of SCA children born out of wedlock? Awarness of SCA Cell shouldnt be about telling people who or who not to marry but about how to avoid having children who will suffer from the condition.

I apologize on behalf of the poster you quoted.
The ways of going around having a SS child are CVs and adoptions. I already stated why those ways are really not the best for couples who will wish to have their own biological kids.
For instance one of the uses of Condom is to protect you from getting infected with HIV, and other STDs and of course pregnancy.
Papillo how many people in Nigeria will willingly sleep with an HIV infected person using Condom? Even with the awareness that they will be protected by the condom.
Most will not risk it, because condoms are not 100% fail-safe.
Then why should some people who are both AS willing copulate(I wrote copu.late) without protection, knowing fully well that there may be risk of bringing forth a SS child.

Like binte said, join us on facebook Naija Sickle Cell Warriors.
I ve ur phone number now, so you can take it down. I wouldnt want somebody exploiting you.

jp philips: Awareness is a form of campaign no doubt but i doubt how much results it produces. If not for the roman catholic church, many carriers still go ahead to marry themselves which i find very absurd.

the churches care about HIV but pay little or no attention to Sickle cell, Dr oni(not real name) has sickle cell kids, how do you explain that? a doctor? what other awareness does he need, well educated folks have sickle pro genies.

forgive me to say but i don't subscribe to your campaign, sickle cell organizations should lobby the National assembly to make it a felony for any parent/parents who has sickle cell progenies. This is man's inhumanity to Man and spouses are not ready to listen.

Having an SS child should carry the same sentence as willfully infecting someone with HIV because i see no difference.

my sickle cell campaign is simple, if you are SS, shoot your father in the Head, and there should be Amnesty for any child who adopts this noble medical Jihad

Oga Jp, please calm down. It has not gotten to "medical Jihad" as you put it.
We will get to the stage where we don't have to lobby any National Assembly before they do the right thing. We will get there.
The Sickle Cell Campaign all over the world lacks Prominent voice to give it teeth unlike HIV or Cancer. But we will get there.

pappilo: One of a thousand and one reasons so why would you advice 2 carriers not to marry just because of one reason out of a thousand?

If 2 carriers 'truly' love themselves then there are ways round having SS children e.g. Adoption, CVS.

Why stop at asking 2 carriers not to get married? Why dont we campaign that people shouldnt marry carriers AS/SS so that the trait can be eradicated in maybe a generation or two. Should we also campaign that relationships where one or both partners is HIV positive, shouldnt lead to marriage?

I am not trying to put down your efforts and I would be lying if I said I can feel your pain but your campaign should be about educating people about the disease and not telling them who to marry.

Regards

CVs, Adoptions are ways to actually get around not having a SS baby. Agreed.
You are a Nigerian, how many couples do you think actually have the means to carry out CVs?
Even when they have the means, how many women do you think will like the option of Aborting their babies anytime it turns out to be SS? (Knowing they could have saved themslves the stress by opting for someone whose Genotype is compatible with theirs)
I actually like the option of Adoption. But Nigerians are yet to get to that level where many see an adopted child as their own legitimate child.
Even when the couples accept the child whole heartedly, what of the extended family relations? Especially the man's family who will likely think that the wife has Jazzed the man and pushed "their son" into adoption (when he could have easily had his own 'biological' children). How many people actually practice SELFLESS LOVE.
I am being practical. Think about these things and tell me that you still want to encourage AS/AS marital relationship.

pappilo: Marriage is not for procreation. Procreation only takes a minute or 2 and you sure as hell dont have to be married for that. Marriage is between 2 people who want to spend the rest of their lives together and not because of bearing children, sharing the mortgage/rent or any other stupid reason.

ONE OF THE REASONS for marriage is procreation.

ooua: You said you are a sufferer, how come you married an AS to have a child that is SS, not trying to blame just want to know. Also talking out adoption I have seen couple who adopted only for the child to be SS. Dont know if we have the medical equipment to know if a new born is SS just for those planning adoption.

Am back with my original ID.
Maybe you didn't really understand my post. Am yet to be married (but soon).
Now if you have to adopt because you & your partner are both AS/AS, is not common sense that you have to do test the child to know if S/he is SS.
About having the equipment, the Hospital or Welfare or Motherless babies home should be able to help you, so that you don't make the mistake you are trying to avoid.
Your last point is quite remarkable (whether we have the medical eqquipment to test a new born child). But you can avoid that by adopting a 3 or 4 years old baby.

myGoddey: Wat i meant was AA will treat malaria almost every time whether exposed unduly to mosquitoes or not but AC stays 3 to 4 yrs at a stretch without malaria treatment also when AC is unduly exposed to mosquitoes, malaria is usually more deadly cos the symptoms they manifest when they have malaria is usually very scary! guess u understand now? am talking from experience cos i am AC

ok

[quote author=T.swaggs]I love her so much [/quote]Are you sure that you Love your li'l sis or you just feel Pity for her.
Reading your post I feel that people like you will only end up making your sis have a Low Self Esteem. She is already battling with Pains almost every other day, does she really need the Pity?
What do you mean she hates AF?
