mimi237: My hubby & I dated a few months before getting married last month.

Phema: What age?

acidtalk: [b]I received the biggest shock this morning.....

I went to my fiancée’s place to drop off an item she urgently needed for a presentation at work.
While i was still waiting for her to come down and meet me, i met her father who complained his internet service as been down all day and he needed to send an urgent e.mail to a client before 10am.

I requested to see what the problem was and after checking his modem, i discovered he had no more bandwidth on his package.
He uses a service that is quite far from where he stays so the issue of going to their office to pay before 10am was out of it.

After thinking for a while, i offered to drop my laptop with him so that he doesn't miss out on a business deal.
i turned it on, put the password and handed it over to him. just then his daughter came down and we both strolled away as she was already late for office.

Lo and behold about 30minutes later, my fiancee called and told me where ever i was i should meet her at an eatery close to her office. i was scared and confused at the same time as this is the person i just parted with some 30minutes ago.

I rush there and waited for a while as she needed to give excuse of why she should leave the office that early in the morning.

When she arrived, she was close to tears and was accusing me of giving my laptop to her father. While i was still yet to phantom what she meant. She said her father called her and was screaming that she can't marry me on continue with the relationship because i am his biggest critic on nairaland. He said i never agree to his views and i always insult his personality.[/b]

she made me understand that since i hibernated my system, as soon as he logged on to nairaland, he saw my username and almost smashed my laptop.

I am so confused right now and scared to go pickup my laptop later today, i really don't understand why he will take this issue that far.

koolg: oga you are wrong.
there is the possibility that out of 8 children, all 8 children are SS, just that the chance of that is small

Baby mama: I am sure there are some SS people on this forum
Perhaps you need to share your personal experiences with this poster
It may be better for the lovebird to hear from the mouth of someone living with SS

Baby mama: Thank you
I said earlier,my classmate in college and her husband have three kids I believe and all of them are SS
I hope this poster is assimilating all these hard truths

Abali1: 0.25% probability in every pregnancy that may occur.

baralatie: lol
i do pray God should help in discovering a meaningful cure for al 'Ss' gen
Merry Xmas!

baralatie: let us use ur factor
what is the prob dat
+all 4 are not 'Ss'

+all 4 are 'Ss'

+only 3 'AA'

+Only 3 'Ss'

+only 1 'AA'

+önly 1 'SS'

baralatie: let me explain the probability calculation uery wel for u guys:

+'AS' wit 'As'
there are only 3 probable outcomes.i.e.
'AA' , 'AS', 'SS'
Each of the genotype has a probability of occuring at a given selection=0.33(33% that any one can happen not 0.25)

let us move further.u case involved aving 4 kids(op wants 2)

these are probable combination:

+either al 4 kids are 'Aa'

+3 Kids are 'Aa' and 1 'Ss'

+2 kids are 'Aa' and 2 'Ss'

+1 Kid 'Aa' and 3 kid 'Ss'

+4 kids all 'Ss'
that is u av 5 options.using 0.33 as a grad calculate their prob.

But poster case is 2 kids.let us see her options

+2 kids are 'Aa'

+1 kid 'Aa' AND 1 Kid 'As'

+2 kids All 'Ss'
she has 3 options.using 0.33 calculate their prob.

Please guys reconsider u stand.this is not malaria that u go and buy tablet.

greatgod2012: Where is Abali1?

Your urgent attention in needed here!

Rubyrose: We understand the implication and we also know that the chances of having ss kids are slim if you plan having less kids and we only want 2 kids. Besides is there no test to check the genotype of a foetus in the womb?

ireneidiva: she is the landlord's daugther-in-law, not the landlord or the landlord's son. If the op and her hubby want to break the house, the DIL shld leave the matter to the Landlord!

greatestluv4all: Call it security finance or minimum requirements, how much should a family man always keep for his immediate family upkeep?

Considering demand from extended family and friends due to economic exigencies, a man does not only cater for his wife and kids alone nowadays.

I earn 200k a month and could rise to between 400k to 500k with other business, hence my benchmark is 200k.

It must never go below, sometimes it's above when request are not so much.

So, what's your benchmark or do you even consider it?

yellowpawpaw: Hei, hei, hei.
Pls make una wait a minute.
We r trying to be real here.

CC, I mean one should try and maintain that figure her man met her with. Lepa or biggie biggie. Some biggies have very nice shape, maintaining it is the koko.
There r many things that r basically a turn off for men.
Third leg didn't go to school. A lot of men r what we call abali agba aka( no night w'out a woman)type of guys.

U marry such, u gat to keep it up or anything can happen. That is the way they r wired. And a lot more.
We can't pretend all these don't happen and wish them away. We gat to face them by telling ourselves the truth, do our part dilligently and if that man still want to be like a he-goat, then d door is wide open.

Tranquill: Campaign should also dwell on making the government subsidise the cost of permanent cure as well as support various researches and breakthroughs in finding easier, safer and affordable cure for the disorder.

"We Steal Because You Never Stoned Us for It" -Rivers Governor, Rotimi Amaechi"

Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi says the reason that political office holders steal fund is because citizens have never confronted or stoned them (including himself) for the act.

Tranquill: The UK NHS defines ss disease as a genetic disorder that is NEITHER THE FAULT OF THE PARENTS NOR THE CHILD. People especially at risk should not be discouraged from marrying whom they love but to go for early screening to detect a baby with ss disorder and start the various treatments from day one that will allow the child grow up normal.

Tranquill: We have had a governor in this country that is ss. Even Dr Christopher Kolade is an ss among other people that have contributed to the betterment of our society.

Tranquill: What is the guarantee that children born as aa or as will not suffer one ailment or the other? what is the guarantee that even marriage between the so calked 'compatible' genotypes will even bring forth children? If a man that has ss kid abandons his family, it is attributed to the fact that the wife has ss kid even though lots of men with no ss kid also abandon their families.

Tranquill: I feel the problem is more with the ss awareness campaigners as they succeeded in demonising ss patients and now as/as marriage instead of stressing on the need for early screening, intervention and proper management of patients that will make them live healthy and achieve their god-given potentials.

Tranquill: How can you eradicate ss in africa or even other parts of the world through promoting such idea only in Nigeria whereas it is not so elsewhere. Infact it could even be a crime in some societes not to get peolpe married because of genotype. I mean western societies.

Tranquill: The question I asked is why is it only in Nigeria and by Nigerians that you hear such things that AS/AS marriage is 'not compatible' or that someone should not marry a 'sickler'.

Mcbussy: so i'll advise u not to marry an AS,AC,SS,CC or SC.

i'll also advise u to go for a 3rd test to be sure about ur genotype.

Tranquill: Please I have some things bothering me that I want to share and will need peoples input. I dont know if I am puting it the right way as not to offend anyone. I am sorry in advance.

1. Why is it that when a person with SS disorder dies even at older age, it seem to be attributed to the fact that he or she has the SS gene whereas you still have AA and AS that die at younger age and in similar circumstances. I had a friend that was AA and died at 29. He came out of the house in the morning bought some grocerries and back to his house and that was his end. If he had SS people will tend to tie his death to it and for me it puts fears in the mind of Warriors unfaily. I also have a friend who is SC but living life and healthier than AA and AS.

2. It seems that discouraging marriage union as a result of 'incompatible' genotype is only in Nigeria and by Nigerians. Infact every article you read online against AS/AS marriage is by Nigerians and it is Nigerians that tend to put the blame of SS offsprings to the parents thereby removing the power to create man from God. Does it have to do with the economy or poverty? Some SS are far more productive and contribute to the society more than the AS and AA people. In the UK most adults dont even know what is genotype and it is never a factor in marriage same as in the US.

The good news I have is that with breakthroughs and advances in various clinics and laboratories, there will definitely be a permanent, safe and affordablw cure for this disorder within the next two years. Infact a clinical trial begins early next year for the prenatal cure. As the transfer of HIV virus from parents to unborn child is now almost a thing of the past, so I beleive this SS disorder will become too. Greetings to all the Warriors.

ssultana: Hi,my sister who is AC is planning to wed a guy who is AS by next year,my dad has voiced his reservations about d arrangement(i'm nt sure its the best match either).pls can anyone say how dangerous this would be on their offsprings?i've done the crossing myself and SC is the most extreme case.do they suffer crises too?if yes,how often?
