natasha: Usually you are monitored during pregnancy and [s]the delivery always has to be done via CS[/s] to reduce the risk of transmission.. the final hurdle is you are [s]not allowed to breastfeed the child either.[/s] As long as you follow the instructions and recommendations of the Healthcare professionals, the virus wont be passed to the child

Joe Mosco: In the first place, why shouldn't a lady know how to cook......
Infact a woman's inability to cook is an indication of alot of other inadequacies........ She will lazy, careless.... Etc

polokor60: don't mind him jare,i became an excellent cook at the tender age of ten,i was also buying cooking ingredients from the market at that age because we used to reside close to the market,my mum made sure that the cooking routine was for every child of the family irrespective of your gender(if u like claim say u be boy pilkin or senior,that one non concern mumsy,u must enta kitchen wash plate n do d cooking).every individual should be able to learn how to cook at a certain stage in life.my verdict for anyone that cannot cook is ''you are a very lazy lazy lazy lazy lazy and lazy folk irrespective of your gender''.

Zediccus: When you say your wife shld be a housewife, they say its not for 21st century women. O.k, you say they shld work, then i shldn't expect her to cook ? @op, i started cooking(the basics) at 12 so it wld be a disaster to marry one that cannot.

fellis: Seun do and remove anonymity from NL. Am tired of reading fallacious claims on this site.

Mynd_44: Yes I can. I did not marry her so she can cook did I? Cos If I wanted someone to cook for me, I will move back with my mum or hire a cook.
I will marry because I want to spend the rest of my life with the woman not because of food

Ademiro: DR. SIGN FIREMAN ANSWERS CRUCIAL QUESTIONS

Many people feel that your claim that you were called at the age of three is impossible.
Well, many people are so deep in the flesh that they don’t know the timings of the Spirit! They refuse to accept some people’s early relationship with God because of their late relationship with Him! What they think is not the yardstick for knowing whether it is possible or not. It is the Bible that is the final authority on that. And the Bible tells us it is possible. Samuel was called when he was still very small. Jeremiah’s is even harder to believe: God said that he ordained him while he was in his mother’s womb! (Jeremiah 1:4-5). Although my claim may be rare, the Bible is so clear that it is possible.

There is a handbill on the net titled: ALL THE HOT GIRLS IN LAGOS ATTEND FIREMAN’S CHURCH. It caused a stir. What was its actual purpose?
In the Body of Christ today, people grow their churches from other churches. But true evangelism is reaching out to those who are not saved at all! This is the type of evangelism we pursue! Around the time of that handbill, we had a project: OPERATION TAKE CALL GIRLS OFF THE STREETS. By call girls, we meant harlots plus all the young girls who live their lives looking for a man to sleep with and get money. We sat down to think of how to reach them. We considered that you couldn’t walk up to them along the road to preach to them without their acting crazy. So we came up with the idea of the handbills. The intention was to present a title that would attract them, and get them saved and changed once they came. It was an innovation! We pursued it. Many came and were saved! After their salvation, to keep them saved, we went further to rent apartments and relocate many of them. We also gave money for starting business to some of them. In addition, today, some of them are married! Considering these facts, we call the operation a huge success! That is true evangelism! The Body of Christ has to wake up to the fact that the only way to reach out to the world today and save them from the innovations of the devil is by Christian innovations! This is why our church membership rose from zero to over seven thousand in two years! What we did may be controversial today, but we are only pacesetters of what churches will be doing in the near future! We are the future of Christianity!

canuck: Chief Obafemi Awolowo, a lawyer, economist, and lawyer, was legendary in Africa for his unassailable exploits in education.

The establishment of mandatory FREE education in the Western Region of Nigeria laid the solid foundation of development in that part of the country.

Naming former University of Ife after him was a no-brainer as most of the school's Professors, and a whole generation in that part of the country (and other non-Yoruba residents) traced their successes to Chief Awolowo's legacy in education.

Chief Moshood Abiola, accountant, publisher and businessman, was legendary the world over as a seducer of women and philanderer. The female anatomy attracted him, enchanted him, mesmerized him and ensnared him. He lacked an education development pedigree, except for pretense, to put young, poor and innocent girls in the family way.

A female hostel, in line with his prowess and exploits among women, should have been built and named after him. Chief Abiola looooooooooved women. It would have been a fitting honor. From poor unlearned girls/women to PhD holders, Chief Abiola had them all.

Chief Abiola's other exploits, in the last phase of his life, was politics. The recognition should have been in that area, not education, but GEJ is obviously too insecure to recognize Chief Abiola politically.

So for those saying, "Why should a university be named after Awolowo and not Abiola?", this is my opinion. Let's hear yours.

secnelly: It was soooo funny i even forgot to laugh. I just hope UNN wont be next in line to be renamed.

PhysicsQED: ACM, in that response on the other thread, what is it that you mean by 'the center'?

Are you just engaging in a game of semantics or are you really telling me that you don't understand that the decree requires input from all the regions before virtually anything of significance can be done on a nationwide level?

If you can't even admit that, there's not really any point in us discussing anything further.

PhysicsQED: The difference between Aburi and decree 8 is that the former abolished the unitary system, made the federal government heavily [s]/totally dependent on the regions AND effectively divided Nigeria into 4 countries almost fully without properly/explicitly saying so[/s]

PhysicsQED: while decree 8 abolished the unitary system, gave several independent powers to the regions

PhysicsQED: while still maintaining one country and made the federal government heavily, if not totally dependent on the different regions.

PhysicsQED: The truth is that there is no modern country anywhere that practices 'states' rights' to the point of granting states full autonomy.

PhysicsQED: The Americans fought a brutal civil war in the 1860s that quashed such claims in the U.S. but it's unfortunate that Nigeria had to do the same because I don't think standing up for that principle was really worth all those lives.

PhysicsQED: @ ACM, 'Ejoor's troops' that Beaf for whatever reason called them were not sent to Nsukka. The troops at Okene, Kogi state that were sent to Nsukka were put there and later sent to Nsukka by Gowon. Second, of the few soldiers in the Midwest, they didn't actually retreat. There had been a kind of 'coup' inside the Midwest by Igbo officers and the non-Igbo soldiers didn't fight in any significant number because they had little to fight with.
As for Beaf, he comes from an entirely different world than Enahoro so I doubt very much that he's embarrased. Enahoro was one of Awolowo's sidekicks, Beaf doesn't have a high opinion of Awolowo, Enahoro didn't care for Midwest state creation, Beaf does, etc. Enahoro had no standing whatsoever in the Midwest after 1963 but he was later pardoned by the federal government under Gowon and suddenly he became the leader of the Midwest's politicians? Does that make any sense to you? Beaf does have a point there.
Anyway, honestly speaking, in an ideal world, Enahoro's perspective is factually correct. All of the best nations in all times have had a relatively strong center ( I don't want to derail the thread by bothering to argue this out though). Even the U.S. had to replace the problematic and weak 'Articles of Confederation' with something that would strengthen the center considerably. But we don't live in an ideal world and the peculiarities of each country have to be taken into account.

Beaf: Chief Anthony Enahoro might have been a Midwestern, but he did not represent Midwest interests, rather he was a federal minister representing the federal govt.
The mix-up you've made is dangerous. There were many Igbo's representing the FG too, but nobody would conclude that they represented the Biafran position.

Beaf: There were no federal troops stationed anywhere in the Midwest. I will repeat again that Ejoors troops were all sent to Nsukka.

Beaf: It is accepted fact that the total absence of federal troops is what led to zero resistance to Biafra's invasion of the Midwest.

Beaf: Dude, I have no time for your accusations, I have come to see your type as bullies and cowards who prey on smaller groups. Thank God your views are an inconsequential minority among the igbo's.

Go and read Decree 8 thoroughly. If all soldiers had returned to their states of origin, what authority did the federal military govt possess?
Expert civilian advice was either absent or overlooked.
It is possible that Decree 8 breached an agreement, if so, I want to know how. Further, I want to know why Decree 8 was not used as the weapon for secession instead of bullets. Something went seriously wrong.

Decree 8. Section 71:
Gives the Supreme Military Council power to take appropriate measures against a Region which attempts to secede from the rest of the Federation, or where the executive authority of the Region is being exercised in contravention of section 86 of the constitution (functions in the exclusive list)

Beaf: 5. Gowon declared Decree 8 which contained 95% of Ojukwu's demands

Logic Mind: You lie again. Decree 8 did not grant each region sovereignty. It granted judicial powers to regions but put executive and leglislative powers to the federal military govt.

Beaf: Decree 8 had granted each region sovereignty already. The Midwest could be neutral based on the contents of Decree 8 which effectivel made Nigeria a confederacy - I hope you will take time out to read it in full.

That renders all your above arguments basesless.

naptu2: At that time, the Supreme Military Council was composed of the Head of State, the Chief of Staff and Regional Governors (that is, at first, Ironsi, Ogundipe, Ojukwu, Katsina, Fajuyi, Ejoor and Mobolaji Johnson, later on, Gowon, Adebayo and Wey).

During the first republic the regions had considerable autonomy. This continued at the beginning of military rule. For example, the military governor of Mid-West Region, David Ejoor, could declare his region neutral and state that he didn't want Federal or Biafran troops in his region. No military governor in the subsequent regimes could make such a declaration. He would have been sacked and detained, that is if he isn't shot.

PhysicsQED: [s]It may be incorrect to call decree 8 a confederation rather than a loose federation but it's absolutely ridiculous to call it unitary.[/s] @ ACM, I don't think you understood what the smc represented. When you find out what it was, you should reread the document.
