@Agaba,, tnx for the response, actually i tried gym b4 but was not meeting up, so i got some Aerobic DVDs i use at home,, i want to know if its effective to workout at night? and how can i go about it?, pls also help me with some guide to workouts and diets( good foods), tnak u so much.

You can work out at night. It does not matter when you work out. If going to the gym does not clash with your other schedules, then not meeting up is not an excuse as you will need to be committed to lose weight.

About your diet, I cannot suggest specific food that's why I gave the above summary. You know what vegetables are.
Proteineous foods include but not limited to meat (too much red meat not good), grilled chicken or chicken without the skin etc.

May be you tell us what you normally eat and we can see if it can be modified. Every food is good if taken in the right amount.

Guys this is politics

Ekweremadu was lobbying for senate president

Emeka ihedioha lobbying for house speaker

Some unelected persons lobby for Igbos to accept SGF in the hope he wud hv the chance to be appointed.

Ohaneze keeping mute while demanding to know the "total package" .
Is a refinery coming to an Igbo state?
If not, is a petrochemical coming ?

If not, will an Igbo man b getting d third national telephone carrier- as Adenuga got the 2nd?
If not, FCT minister- to compensate thousands of genuine Igbo victims who lost their houses from mallam erufai ethnic cleasen?
If not,

Wud he - GEJ, set up a commission to negotiate n seriously lobby for the release of nigerians in foreign jails - vietnam to kandaha, kum lumpu to Cambodia and SA ?
If not,


Then we will insist on senate presidency.

Why should he do that to appease Igbos? Na only Igbos dey jail? Whether you are Igbo or not, if you commit offence serve the sentence expect when it can be proven that you innocent.

GenBuhari:
ok, if you say so

I hope now that your super sulk with modath is over

We can all move on now.

You did not answer my question. How was your exercise today?
You know I am not sulking.
I have always moved on. Come on just ignore those talks haba. Is that why refused to exercise?
My CAPM exam is soon so I have learnt to apply risk preventive measures. Can't understand?

Bia make una argue like bros. The info here is informative. Criticize but no fight.

GenBuhari:
@modath
Abeg,  leave this poor boy aga-Buhari alone, stop being so unfair and wicked to him



@aga-Buhari


My heart bleeds for you

what should we do about that wicked woman called modath who keeps picking on you?

sorry ooo!!

In all seriousness,   modath never called you a pig, if you re-read what she posted she was making an analogy.

I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive and forget and take up her offer of letting bygones be bygones

Sharrrrrap there, she does not pick on me. I am the one who pick on you so do not try to turn the table

General peanut how far what happened to your exercise today by the way?
In the moslem world, a pig is a sign of a deep hatred or anger

HourGlass1:
^^ c'mon sharap and go ahead to shake hands, you think outstretched hand is part of exercise? Lets just 4gerrabourrit and move on, there is more to gain here than holding grudges. 123 when you were liku how do you feel when you loose a game and someone is laughing beside you, even now. I know your type,  . Thanks for asking modath, am ok jare, should be starting medications when i get back to ma base 2moro and thereafter share with you guys what is wrong with me, and if you are not a physician or have a first hand experience i would rather have keep quiet o, if not i will hold grudge with for the next 4 years when another election is coming up. Catcha

If it is my friend I will chase him. he will run away and we will laugh it and my friend will say the same. It is a game after all. He will never react with violent disgust at me. Even if he did he will apologise. That's my kinda friends!

Like I said, I bear her no grudges but I am too loose with my mouth so I need someone with general peanuts tolerance level. He can understand me.

modath:
Why oh why,seems you've forgotten about labelling me and the General ''LOSERS'' what do they say about glass houses and stones!!!i dont bear grudges and find it difficult to understand why people do.!!!!Anyway i dont roll like that so let bygones be bygones.can we shake on that?

This was my statement which was playful

Happy sunday my people.

Well done babs and Hour G

Some people are afraid of starting some procedure that does not kill. HG I am not talking to you anyway but there is no point postponing the evil day.

All

I think it should not border you when the weight refuses to move down further. It is better it goes down gradually and you are able to maintain it than rush it down and gain it back. Continuity my friends! keep at it bu do not forget to increase your challenges a little at a time.

[size=20pt]BTW can someone extend my sincere sympathy to General peanut and baroness 30dayshred. Losing is not easy
[/size]

agabaI23:
Now this is not the response I expected.

Apologies if you were offended!

Tell me where I called you a loser? I even apologised for whatever.

I personally do not roll like that as well. I do not bear grudges either. I am just being wise and applying risk control measures which work well when someone has mountain ego.

GenBuhari:
@Pig aga-Buhari,

Oh , look who has become touchy all of a sudden  

So sorry your feelings has been hurt  

lol lol! I made a statement that day. You don't want to fight with a woman do you? So if you are playing with a lady and she misunderstands your jokes for a fight, just steer clear, it is my principle.

You cannot hit a woman and you cannot win her on a war of words so why go there .
I was actually surprised at her response so would try another.

And btw I was not being touchy, I am on applying wisdom.

if you think I will give your some space, go and drink asoky, you are not getting any

Today's log

300 bicycle crunches (need to improve on this)
200 seated oblique
100 reverse crunch

modath:
@Agaba,
Methinks you've been avoiding me since the election fiasco

yea course I wouldn't want to be called a pig when I am joking and meant no harm. 'Avoid' is a risk control measure.

jaula:
hi,, pls i weigh 84kg and am 5'3 in height. Am in my early 30s and need to shed weight fast,, pls wat can i do? I eat breakfast 4 out of 7 days a week and cant exercise at morning cos i have to leave home early for work. Kindly help me out with a realistic guide to shed at least 20kg in the next 3 months. Tnx.

You sure need to lose weight but the best way is not to miss your breakfast and starve. Except you are fasting as a religious obligation eat your breakfast but eat healthy.

You have to reduce the amount of high carb food you eat. Eat more protein and vegetable, eat less of high carb and processed food.

You can eat one full lunch-emphasis on vegetables and protein. You will get full faster with less calorie.
For instance, 4 chicken drumsticks will get you full more than 4 fist sized doughnuts and yet the latter has more calories and will not satisfy you at the end of the day.
NB: carbohydrate is not bad. You need it for energy. Every food should have some carb in it but not excess.

Remember that you may already have eaten the amount your body requires before the feeling of fullness comes
Eat and drink a loads of water.

Finally eat because your body needs food, do not eat as a hobby or for fun.
Exercise:
Start gradually and build up. You can register in a gym if it is available and affordable if not let us know the exercises you want to start with and we can make suggestions.

In America, Nigerians' education pursuit is above rest
Whether driven by immigration or family, data show more earn degrees
By LESLIE CASIMIR Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle
May 20, 2008, 2:11AM

ERIC KAYNE CHRONICLE
Nigerian David Olowokere, chairman of TSU's engineering technologies department, says the goal for his children is to do "as good as us — if not better."

Complete coverage of immigration issues
For Woodlands resident David Olowokere, one of Nigeria's sons, having a master's degree in engineering just wasn't enough for his people back home. So he got a doctorate.
His wife, Shalewa Olowokere, a civil engineer, didn't stop at a bachelor's, either. She went for her master's.
The same obsession with education runs in the Udeh household in Sugar Land. Foluke Udeh and her husband, Nduka, both have master's degrees. Anything less, she reckons, would have amounted to failure.
"If you see an average Nigerian family, everybody has a college degree these days," said Udeh, 32, a physical therapist at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center. "But a post-graduate degree, that's like pride for the family."
Nigerian immigrants have the highest levels of education in this city and the nation, surpassing whites and Asians, according to Census data bolstered by an analysis of 13 annual Houston-area surveys conducted by Rice University.
Although they make up a tiny portion of the U.S. population, a whopping 17 percent of all Nigerians in this country held master's degrees while 4 percent had a doctorate, according to the 2006 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition, 37 percent had bachelor's degrees.
In comparison
To put those numbers in perspective, 8 percent of the white population in the U.S. had master's degrees, according to the Census survey. And 1 percent held doctorates. About 19 percent of white residents had bachelor's degrees. Asians come closer to the Nigerians with 12 percent holding master's degrees and 3 percent having doctorates.
The Nigerian numbers are "strikingly high," said Roderick Harrison, demographer at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a Washington, D.C., think tank that specializes in researching black issues. "There is no doubt that these are highly educated professionals who are probably working in the petrochemical, medical and business sectors in Houston."
Harrison analyzed the census data for the Houston Chronicle.
Stephen Klineberg, a sociologist at Rice University who conducts the annual Houston Area Survey, suspects the percentage of Nigerian immigrants with post-graduate degrees is higher than Census data shows.
Of all the Nigerian immigrants he reached in his random phone surveys 1994 through 2007 — 45 households total — Klineberg said 40 percent of the Nigerians said they had post-graduate degrees.
"These are higher levels of educational attainment than were found in any other , community," Klineberg said.
There are more than 12,000 Nigerians in Houston, according to the latest Census data, a figure sociologists and Nigerian community leaders say is a gross undercount. They believe the number to be closer to 100,000.
Staying in school
The reasons Nigerians have more post-graduate degrees than any other racial or ethnic group are largely due to Nigerian society's emphasis on mandatory and free education. Once immigrating to this country, practical matters of immigration laws get in the way.
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 made it easier for Africans to enter the U.S., but mostly as students or highly skilled professionals — not through family sponsorships, Klineberg said.
So many Africans pursue higher levels of education as an unintended consequence of navigating the tricky minefield of immigration, said Amadu Jacky Kaba, an associate professor at Seton Hall University in South Orange, N.J., who has done research on African immigrants in the U.S.
"In a way, it's a Catch-22 — because of immigration laws you are forced to remain in school, but then the funny thing is you end up getting your doctorate at the age of 29," Kaba said. "If you stay in school, immigration will leave you alone."
Although Kaba, who teaches Africana Studies, is not from Nigeria (he is Liberian), he said he, too, found himself pursuing a master's and then a doctorate to remain in this country legally.
But not all Africans have to go this route. Some say their motivation is driven by their desire to overcome being a double minority: black and African.
Take Oluyinka Olutoye, 41, associate professor of pediatric surgery at Baylor College of Medicine. He came to this country already as a medical doctor but decided to pursue his doctorate in anatomy to help set himself apart.
"Being black, you are already at a disadvantage," said Olutoye, whose wife, Toyin Olutoye, is an anesthesiologist at Baylor. "You really need to excel far above if you want to be considered for anything in this country."
Family expectations
All this talk of education creates high expectations for children of Nigerian immigrants. The eldest child of David Olowokere, chairman of the engineering technologies department at Texas Southern University, for example, is already working on her master's degree in public health in Atlanta; the middle child is pursuing a bachelor's in pre-medicine. His youngest, a son, attends The Woodlands High School. He already has aspirations to go into engineering, just like his parents, Olowokere beams.
"The goal is for them to do as good as us — if not better," he said.
Oluyinka Olutoye put it another way.
"The typical saying in a Nigerian household is that the best inheritance that a parent can give you is not jewelry or cash or material things, it is a good education," he said. "It is expected."

We are not lazy, we are brainy. We are achievers. We compete and we do not give up.


Please say something good about Nigerians.
We know we have our faults and what nation does not have. This thread is not the one to list those faults. This is where list the reason why Nigeria is good and why Nigerians should be respected.

I never force you to buy my opinion. This is a forum where people say their views, not a place for insult. Please, keep your Ill manner behavior with you.

Apologies if you were insulted . I just said the idea is rubbish. I did not say you are rubbish so where is the insult anyway

hbabe:
Come into my inner chambers let me start your conversion classes.

@OP
It is obvious you and your girl have different taste in clothes/style but her constant complain/nagging about your choice must be very annoying. Love is supposed to make us accept our partners as they are and not try to change them into what we think is ideal.
I suggest you talk to her and let her know how he attitude makes you feel; and if the doesnt change her behaviour I think it will be time for you to change your girlfriend.
Goodluck, bro.

Youself. Where is your inner chambers. I will quickly run in

@ Spyder880: the land is table flat! The foundation is 4 couches high. See Picture for the current stage of building. More pictures later.

In Delta State we don't have problem with building boreholes. I know in places like Abuja and even Enugu you will struggle to hit the water table with N500,000 but not in warri. As we say in warri "Borehole na water"

Wow that's cool but not surprising

If do yim, i can have a chat with you lets see what is possible.

ypad:
Most times when we dress we do not know how we look except the front view we do see looking at mirror, you need someone close to you to give a sincere complement. At times people are not sincere in complementing.

When you want to buy new wears for yourself ask her to follow you. Most women goes for men that dress very cute. There is nothing wrong if your inner wears are white, it shows how clean you are. Ask her to match up shirt and trouser for you.

The girls have converted you if you are a man. Rubbish!

toyemz:
^^^^^
she has a point there though
men should wear white underwears
lol
what colour underwears do you wear then?


on the  other hand,she seems to be taking this thing too far, up to the point of disrespect.if she feels that badly about your mode of dressing
she should be able to buy you what she thinks would look good on you
you are not her doll for her to dress up
and yes while some men have no sense of dress code, she shouldn't put you down over this
she needs to be more diplomatic and discreet that's all

Says who? Even though it benefits the scrotum if you wear white underwear because it does not absorb and retain much heat, there is no reason why a man or woman should be stuck with white under wears. What I may discourage with a man is frequent black underwear if he is interested in procreation anyway.

It is only in Nigeria that girls think that wearing white panties means you are clean and trendy. get a Nigerian babe a sexy coloured lingerie and she will just manage to say thank you and may never wear it. I do not know where that
idea originated from.

Now this girl wants to impose her 'feminine  ideology' on her man. They even extend the 'wear white stuff thing' to sucks. You see a man being influenced to wear white gym sucks as a dressing sucks. It sucks. I have seen two guys who brought girls from Nigeria suddenly fancying white sucks which they were not using before.

One was wearing two different sucks (puma and Nike) on different legs marching majestically (looking ridiculous) along with her proud wife.

No reason for a white under wear.

@poster,

You have no reason to have skid marks. If your reason for hating white boxers is because of skid mark then the girl could as well roast you.
Why should you have skid marks? Clean your behind well after defecation and do not use any boxers more than once especially if you fart aloud

I mean just  about 8 pieces of boxer shorts would do that for you and it won't cost you an arm and a leg.
I use coloured boxers but you will never get a skid mark on any.

No excuse on skid mark mate. Don't be lazy

I cannot comment on your other dressing modes since I have not seen how you dress but going by this white underwear rubbish, I think your girl may be one of those masquerade like dressers.

BTW does she ask you to wear white sucks also with your blazers?
