El-rufai is going after the churches, he wants to gag them!!!

But his plan will fail!!!

Under them our economy was run aground yet religion is their problem

They could easily registered as political party and not religious group.

What would you said if they ware sideline after thier candidate lost elections?

It would be another story entirely.

I hate when we mix religion and politics together

Abduletudaye:
Hiccups could be a funny reaction in ones body you know. Many of us would have this same question our lips ‘What are Hiccups?’

Well, that’s one of the reasons why i have decided to treat this topic in and out. Humans and most people in Africa especially Nigerians, experience this strange but normal occurence. Some may get hooked by Hiccups immediately after eating while some say it is due to lack of Water intake after eating.

Which of these reasons do we believe?
Any way i believe so much in science and i would approach it through a scientific manner.
So, What is hiccups or What are hiccups?

Hiccups is some kind of forced intake of breath caused by muscle spasm in your chest and throat. There are several causes of hiccups but the most popular is irritation of the stomach or oesophagus. and for those of us who don’t know the meaning of oesophagus, its simply a passage or tube which connects the throat and the stomach.. Imagine you with no oesophagus, after mastication, where would your chimed food go?

So Back To The Topic.

When you get hit by hiccups, you tend to make a funny noise that tend to be like a Hic sound right?
Well its just because the breath is cut off while snapping shut the glottis.

Is Hiccups A Good Thing For The Body?
Truth be told, no one really knows the use for hiccups and they don’t have any known function in the body(other than to make us look silly).
Hiccups are not useful to us at all but our ancestral lineage of four legged mammals actually found hiccups useful to them. Weird right?
They actually used hiccup as a means of swalling food that got stuck in their throats.
Things are so much better now because we have the luxury of gravity and quadrupeds(animals that walk on four legs) have to shift in an horizontal manner to get their food into stomach. This means its easier for food to get stuck in their stomach.

But….

Did you know that Dogs ‘Canis domestica’ swallow food rapidly and in huge chunks? Thus needing hiccups to force the food into their bellies..
Ok, enough weird stuff..

Why doesn’t Hiccups go away after drinking water?
The reason is becasue most cases of hiccups occur naturally and they tend to go away naturally. The worst case of acute Hiccup is just 48hrs but eventually it will stop. But it can also be cared by the use of drugs. There was a case in 2007, U.S.A where a teenager actually had hiccups for five weeks non-stop. There after, it stopped but in a case where it is prolonged in such a way, it is classified as a Diabolic Hiccups which could be a symptom to some sickness.

Now For The Real Deal: How To Cure Hiccups In 10 Effective Ways

Ok, no money to buy drugs for almighty hiccups that came naturally. One of the cures i would be listing, is sure going to take hiccups away. And if it comes back another day, simply repeat the process.

1. Stop It By Breathing and swallowing: Breathe in as much as possible without letting any out and try to swallow in the process. Repeat this process until you get tired and your forced to breathe at a normal pace. Hopefully the hiccups will stop.

2. You Also Try the Open Mouthed Method: Open your mouth wide(Don’t let flies enter tho’). When they are open and you feel a need to swallow, please do so but try as much as possible to keep your lips apart. You should swallow must especially when you feel the hiccup is about to come up. If you are wearing anything tight around your chest, kindly loosen it. Repeat till hiccups vanish.

3. Try To Stretch Your Diaphragm: Breathe in slowly for about a minute, and forcefully breathe in deeply. While doing this, you trying to stretch your diaphragm and also trying to interrupt the hiccups.
Also, you can hold your breathe for 30 seconds, exhale slowly until the lungs are empty. Repeat this four to five times till you feel relieved.

4. Use Your Ears and Tongue: All these methods are associated with breath so don’t get tired of reading and find the one that works best for you.
Inhale and exhale once slowly. As you exhale, push out as much air as possible until your body forces you to inhale again. Inhale deeply, and hold your breath for 40 seconds, stick out your tongue, stick your fingers in your ears. Exhale slowly and if you feel it aint working, do it two more times.

5. Take A Deep Breath: Take a deep breath, hold it and close your mouth. Now, begin to move your diaphragm as if your were breathing in and out rapidly. Once the hiccups disappears, exhale and inhale properly.

6. Fill Up A Cup: Fill a cup of water. Now, using a straw, gulp down the water slowly but in the process of gulping, you must plug your ears with your fingers to send hiccups away. Younger people tend to get it once or twice but elderly people should do it three times. No one really knows why this works but it looks like you are actually swallowing your hiccups.

7. Play Bartender: This one is actually funny but it works. You have to look for a bitter liquid that’s consumable(For Nigerians, use Alomo or YoYo bitters) and put some drops on one half of a lemon that has been cut in two. Then, suck deeply on the lemon. The lemon simply acts as a mix to the bitters. The taste of the whole thing is similar to someone scaring you because you are just shocked about the taste. If you don’t like bitters or don’t have, take the lemon like that.

8. Take A Spoon Full Of Sugar: This could also make the hiccups subside and eventually stop. Alternatively, you can use honey. Hold the spoon in your mouth for some seconds and follow with a sip of water.

9. Drink Water Upside Down: Fill up a glass of water halfway, lay on your bed or rug and take two sips from it in an upside down position. Don’t straighten yourself till you finish gulping. Sip and swallow very slowly. Didn’t stop? Take abit more water.

10. Stand up, Sit Down: Now, you can send away the hiccups by body movement or body alert. Lay down on your bed and then suddenly stand up like your heard the roof of your house about to crash down. You can also do it the other way round of you so please.

One of these unique ways will surely make the hiccups go away.

My dad of 80 said almost the same thing last year.

He said he doesn't enjoy anything about life again, and we should celebrate is burial like no one ever did.

onez:
The surprising thing is that professors too fell for APC scam. We must do away with APC and PDP to progress in this country

What about PDP lite?

mariahAngel:
Yet, not a day goes by without them talking about him.

This period is about them... And he's not the only one talked about

DaddyFreeze2020:
When GEJ was insulted....he still lost the 2015 General Election.

If APC is insulted today, they will still lose 2023 General Elections.

GEJ lost to a formidable party and not anyhow party who lacks adea of what they want.

GEJ lost to APC and some aggrieved Pdp members which include Atiku.

Apc can only lost to PDP, not Pdp lite

I love this concept... The next one for my street go entertain us well. Thank God one DJ dey for the street

Okay... Thanks

Why is my phone saying system UI is not responding?

Whoever loves this young man should tell him that he is deceiving himself.

Whoever loves this young man should tell him that apart from his 1st legally married wife, any other woman he is frolicking with is Adultery.

GOD'S standard of Marriage is One man , One woman. Any other thing is Woman and man deceiving themselves in Adultery and Iniquity.

IfnobeGod20:
If CAN messes up, then, what did MURIC do with this message in the poster below?
Mr. Man, CAN has done the right thing, christains in Nigeria are not second citizen and they will never be. I am sure and very much sure if it was other way round many muslims would have been at the forefront of campaigning against christain-christain ticket and the northern may even declare jihad against it. We have some videos of what they are now saying in the mosques to make the Muslim-muslim ticket work. It is the most annoyed ticket in the history of politics in Nigeria in the era where there are divisions virtually in every aspect of our daily lives. If ordinary hijab can be a concern to them, not because if they don't wear it, they won't make Aljannah but just to fulfil doctrine, how much more having a position that will point to the Islamic world that truly Nigeria is a muslim country.

They're both wrong my friend.

I have never seen a country that surcced on religious fight

CAN really mess-up by meddling in to politics by against Tinubu Muslim Muslim ticket.

It might be very difficult for us to elect our own as the president again cos they've turn it to religious war.

My personal observation thou

Let them try this in the shout yeast

See grandma them wan vote for state house of assembly wey supposed full of under 30yrs.

But na Tinubu in Federal be the problem.

I believe charity begins at home.

Anyway, RIP to the dead

I like iPhone so much, but I don't think I can do without android.

I have both but I use android almost all the time, even my android theme is that of iPhone 12.

Both devices are good and I don't think there should be debate on which is better.

LagosInter:
Help me decide please.

Depending...

Both products are good

Zonefree:
Your loss, bro.

When would you stop forcing your idea on people and respect thier choice?

Smithkafors:
I don’t get it….what is she doing in the car at that moment?. Why is she not moving the car?.

Why are there no demarcations to stop cars from crossing when a train is approaching?.

Why did the train not stop?.

This country is finished and some young people that can’t differentiate their left from their right wants to finish it totally.

If una like no vote competent leaders who is agile to move around the country and speak directly to the people. Go vote Dubai or UK unhealthy landlords.

Kido, that's not train station and train no be bike, bicycle or korope wey they our street o

Again, there was not road in that place but the residents created thier easy access to that place. I have same linked to my house, in fact, I have never use the normal road as it far but use train way.

Not every time you should criticise the country or the government, even if you vote those angels they'll also share the fault.

Jesus was never loved by all and even get killed with all his good deeds

Wake up

Fake news from the unchain.... Say Chinedu

Urgent 2k according to our brothers

JooEeL:
I work on probability. Tinubu is the oldest, and ceteris paribus, the most probable to die.

Even me fit die before am, yes. Even ur wife or wife-to-be fit die before am, yes. But the odds are lower, and I dont need to have to repeat the instances for all 3 candidates in a longer sentence to appeal to the egos of many political lunatics here on this site. Now move on. Thanks.

You said probability? What's the percentage and how did you measure it?

Yes, it's true that anyone can die at any given time cos its a debt we must all paid, but you using age to measure the next person all in the name of politics is absolute nonsense.

I don't even know what makes you reason that way at first if not hate

JooEeL:
You people are just deceiving yourselves. The question you should be asking is why are Fulanis almost represented in the top 3 probable parties either as frontrunner or VP? If APC enters and Tinubu dies and his VP takes over nko?

And finally finally, how long do you southerners think you can keep trying to dodge bullets every 4, 4 years hoping for mere luck? Luck that is lopsided against us? A wrong choice (more likely than not), and it's 4 guaranteed years of misery, pain and invasion. Some of you keep underestimating just how much 4 years are to wreak untold havoc in our regions.

You these political zealots are seriously endangering the lives of we sane ones desperately seeking for separations of regions or tribes with affiliated cultures via a referendum to safeguard our identity and race for eons to come.

Chai... God see what human has turn to all in the name of politics and hate

What if na Obi die? Won't Datti replaced him, or it been written that na only Tinubu fit die?

Even you can die any moment

Without a battery chart, no one can diagnose your problem. Post one here or (preferably) come to Telegram, @InquisitiveUniverse or Xiaomi Thread Nigeria

My Redmi Note 11 battery is dropping strangely, and this is the second time I've noticed it.
From 6:35am to 7:35am, my battery dropped to 89% from 100%. I do wake up at this time to pray with the help of the alerm and then sleep until 7:30 a.m. to leave.
Yes, I set it to turn on and off automatically between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m.
It does not drop excessively if I was using it at the time, but it does drop when not in use. Please explain the issue and how to resolve it.

Your thread is one of the best I love seeing on this page, it always reminds me of my old self...

I am now a lazy cook man

Thumb up to you

This is massive...

I love how Obi is gaining more supports daily even when I don't trust him to lead the affairs of this country, but it will gives everyone of us another variaty and I am sure more people will also have another options for 2027.

We all seek better Nigeria in different individuals which is very normal and constitutional.

#Politics no be war
#Stop bullying

PrinceOfLagos:
You said Obi don't have structure yet you can't get him off your mouth. Leave us with our Obi and market your Thiefnibu in peace na

Na for election that we will know who is who

At least he did not abuse Obi like how most of you people do to others.

He only ask where he and Atiku are during the struggle of democracy. I believe its not too much to ask.

Penguin2:
The Labour Party Candidate finally released his Manifesto last night. It is a 72 page document containing what he called his “pact with the Nigerian people”.

For the benefit of those who have read it, and those who might never read it anyways, these are the few revolutionary takeaways from the document as itemized by this Twitter user.

1) Every life will now be sacred. One life, two lives, or hundred lives, no Nigerian life will be lost without swift and deserved punishment. It will be an end to the scenario where an entire village will be massacred in their sleep and not single culprit is arrested to face justice.

2) Uninterrupted Power supply in Federal Universities and Federal Teaching Hospitals.

3) Power Revolution through investment in Solar Systems and Wind Turbines.

4) Implementation of the Orosanye Report to cut cost of governance.

5) Introduction of Hourly Rate Salary Structure as opposed to Monthly Rate Salary Structure and the criminalization of non-payment of workers by both public and private institutions.


6) Introduction of Football and Basketball Leagues in all the States of the Federation through partnership with state governments, to provide employment and for development of talents in those field of sports.

7) Traditional Rulers will be legally recognized as part of a level of government with constitutionally recognized functions.

8] Our Policing System will be restructured into Federal, State and Local Government Police.

The document is a realistic one with most things in it very achievable and expected to be funded by either the Private Sector or through a Public Private Partnership which removes, to an extent, the question of funding.

I am not an Obi fan and will never be, I don't know if that will change after 2023 election ó, but I love those bolded and it is what I desperately want to see happen in the country... I don't trust Obi to carry it out. (Please, no abuse, as this is a personal opinion and interest)

I hope whoever becomes President of Nigeria adopts it.
