This is what happen,when you can present your speech by yourself, You go School thru back door, don't know what is wrong,can't a president speak in orals without reading, on what's on ground?
All this copy and read or pesin assisting to write a read up for you,is a total BS.. Be free with your own speech and the people will understand you better.
1 of the reason we are still living in poverty,because we keep copying other nations, let's leave them and do our own thing as Africa. We are far more better than them. Themselves know that.

Ok...Now this is getting way out of hand! The first page of every thread on frontpage is always the worst! Must you comment? Maybe the mod should wait until the first page is completely or half filled by interesting comments before they move it to the frontpage. What is wrong with all these silly spacebookers?

Seun please disable that Nairaland notification app for BB and android. It seems that is the problem, jobless trolls now easily get notified of any new topic on frontpage and they rush in with their ridiculous comments.

An ECOWAS official has died from Ebola in Nigeria, the West African regional bloc said on Tuesday, taking the total number of deaths in the country from the virus to three.
“The ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) Commission announces with deep regret the passing of a staff member of its Lagos Liaison Office, Mr Jatto Asihu Abdulqudir, aged 36,” it said in a statement.
“Mr Abdulqudir, a protocol assistant, was among those who assisted the Liberian delegate to a regional meeting Mr Patrick Sawyer, who died from the Ebola Virus Disease at a Lagos hospital on 25th July 2014.”
The official had been quarantined since Sawyer was confirmed as having Ebola, which has killed more than 1,000 people since the start of the year, most of them in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
“The Commission wishes to use this opportunity to express its gratitude to Nigerian government authorities and others who contributed to managing the late official while under quarantine,” it added.
“The Management of the Commission wishes to commiserate with Mr Abdulqudir’s family and colleagues and prays for the repose of his soul.”
Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday branded Sawyer a “madman” for bringing Ebola into Nigeria, despite his sister having died from it and that he reportedly displayed symptoms before getting on a flight to Lagos.
A nurse who treated him died of Ebola last week, while tests last weekend confirmed that another had also contracted the virus.
As of August 9, the World Health Organization (WHO) said there were 13 probable or suspected cases of Ebola in Nigeria, including two deaths.
The Nigerian government had a lower figure of 10 confirmed cases, including two deaths, as of Monday, with more than a hundred people being monitored for signs of the disease.
Sawyer was to have attended an ECOWAS meeting and Abdulqudir escorted him to hospital in the Ikoyi neighbourhood from Lagos airport, where he arrived on a flight from Monrovia via the Togolese capital, Lome.
It is understood he then returned to the ECOWAS offices on nearby Lagos Island.
The offices have been closed and disinfected as a precaution while staff have been informed of preventative measures to take, including seeking prompt medical advice in the event of illness.
ECOWAS on Monday warned that the outbreak threatened West Africa’s social and economic progress and has sought the support of all member states and partners to tackle the spread of Ebola.

F......k all

I have been using Marijuana 4 or 5 times a day for the past year and a half and have been using the drug in general for the past 3 years. Overall, I would say that cannabis has definitely had an effect on my life, but surprisingly enough to many I would say it was for the better. Because of my marijuana use I am able to unwind easily in stressful situations, I am able to take a new perspective on a multitude of situations in order to come to a suitable solution for my problems, I have become astronomically more social, and I even feel as though I have expanded my intelligence. I have always been a decent student but after the summer that I started smoking in "high doses" I did the best I ever did in school, getting a 4.4 GPA on a 4.0 scale, and I even relaxed about the famed ACT, earning myself a solid 33 out of 36. I am on my way to a university I would like to think is prestigious and am about to major in biochemistry, hopefully attending med school in 4 years to start my path to heart surgeon. Now tell me, has pot ruined my life? I think not. The people I've met, the boatloads of friends that I've made, the experiences I've had, they've all made my life worth living. And just to let everybody know I'm not advertising, just sharing an aspect and part of my life. Read this and do with it whatever you will I have no expectations of any of you. Peace and love to all! Stay up!
Yes. Brain cells are killed with the respiration of carbon gases. Inhaling anything that is the product of burning does this; marijuana is no exception.



I beleive my own experience with the drug provides evidence that there are no long-term adverse effects to brain activity. I've smoked marijuana heavily, many times per day, for many, many years. I began smoking marijuana daily at the age of fifteen. However, I graduated from college suma cum laude with a 3.9 GPA, obtaining two degrees in Finance and Accounting. I finished in the top 3% of my class. I currently have a 4.0 GPA in a masters of professional accounting. I accomplished all of this while using marijuana multiple times per day. I don't know of anyone who has used, or uses the drug more than I. However, I not only have had no trouble, but am quite exceptional in demonstrating cognitive skills such as logic, reasoning, memory, and perceptual aptitude. I scored a 700 on the GMAT, which is higher than 94% of people who take this graduate admissions exam. I admit that the drug causes short-term memory loss, however, this is only applicable while under the influence of the drug. Basically, don't try to study while high. Otherwise, there are absolutely no harmful effects to brain activity.



"The most celebrated study that claims to show brain damage is the rhesus monkey study of Dr. Robert Heath, done in the late 1970s. This study was reviewed by a distinguished panel of scientists sponsored by the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences. Their results were published under the title, Marijuana and Health in 1982. Heath's work was sharply criticized for its insufficient sample size (only four monkeys), its failure to control experimental bias, and the misidentification of normal monkey brain structure as "damaged". Actual studies of human populations of marijuana users have shown no evidence of brain damage. For example, two studies from 1977, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed no evidence of brain damage in heavy users of marijuana. That same year, the American Medical Association (AMA) officially came out in favor of decriminalizing marijuana. That's not the sort of thing you'd expect if the AMA thought marijuana damaged the brain."

I think Thommy is dead wrong. I think its completely psychological... you become what you expect to become. I never bought into any of the crap about it changing you and making you dumb and lazy and awkward because I was never shown substantial proof.

I started using it occassionally as a teen, and into my early 20s I became a heavy smoker. I was a straight A student all through high school, & getting high did not change that. I went to college and got a bachelor's in CompSci...I was high most of the time but never slipped on my work. I was also in a band & working & dating & maintaining a good relationship with my family as well...always able to balance my life, no problems.

I then became a successful software professional at a multi-billion dollar company (obviously can't specify where, but I wish I could--they drug-tested me but I beat it). I'm making great money, I'm a leader, I'm well-respected, well-liked, always positive, personable, hard-working, dependable. Basically I'm the exact opposite of everything you've observed, Thommy. And I'm no different than I would have been if I weren't a stoner.

To those of you who have such negative opinions of smokers, guess what... its easy to find stoners that live up to all your stereotypes, they announce it and speak freely because they can blame their shortcomings on it... but there are also a lot of very NORMAL people doing it right under your nose, but you'd never know it because we're SMART and don't trust most people enough to let them catch on.


I'd have to agree with John Doe's answer completely. The studies purporting to show cannabinoid induced brain damage have long since been discredited as agenda based junk science. As for the strong anti-alcohol comment below stating that one standard drink kills 10,000 brain cells, I cannot agree. Studies have shown that mild alcohol consumption (on the order of 1 to 2 drinks per day depending on sex and body weight) actually improves cognitive functioning as well as long term brain and cardiovascular health. Additionally red wine has been found to contain a powerful polyphenolic antioxidant, resveratol, that has been shown to have highly beneficial neural and cardiovascular effects of its own. Beer, particularly darker beers, have been found to contain a polyphenolic antioxidant compound, known as xanthohumol, as well. Mild to moderate alcohol consumption dilates the blood vessels (I believe this is mediated by the direct effects of acetaldehyde and the indirect effect that alcohol has on tissue adenosine levels) thereby improving circulation and oxygen delivery. It also tends to slightly raise HDL (good cholesterol) levels. Undoubtedly excessive consumption of alcohol (3 or more drinks per day for years) causes long term brain and liver functioning problems. Much of this damage is mediated by the depletion of the essential B vitamin Thiamine from brain tissue that occurs with excessive alcohol consumption, the increase in oxidative stress as a result of alcohol metabolites like acetaldehyde and the upregulation of cytochrome p450 2e1 activity caused by it, and the increased bacterial permeability of the intestines (thus exposing the liver to higher concentrations of gut bacteria and promoting inflammation and scarring) as a result of excessive alcohol consumption. Having said all that, it is utterly false (and was no doubt done for dramatic effect in making the comparison of marijuana to alcohol) to assert that one drink will permanently destroy 10,000 brain cells. What we need in the world is more scientific fact and less dramatic propaganda.

Well weed makes me feel peaceful and content which I need in this mixed up world with people who don't want me to be able to feel that way because there are so many hateful and selfish nosey people who try to run everyones lives by trying to tell them what they need and don't need,and what should be legal or not legal. They should open their eyes and look around them and see what drugs are really harmful and deadly,instead of trying to make a big deal out of a plant that has never caused a person to do harm to anyone but is good enough to be used for medical purposes. They can't say that about tobacco or alcohol that is legal and very deadly. They can't even be put in the same catagory as Marijanua. Get rid of the people in government who downgrade this plant,(the hypocrites) lets vote them out and then we will have a better place to live and live in peace.

No, I don't think so.

Though I smoke occasionally, it has let me gain the confidence I need for school and for myself.

I wish I could smoke it in a Vaporizer though, but it's cheap to make a Gravity Bong, all you have to do is get a coke bottle, poke a hold in the bottom (or saw the bottom part off), get a bucket of water, get a cork, get a little funnel, put a little weed on it, let it smoke the bottle up, and whola!

Now that im into weed, I use YouTube to do some independent research on the subject, and it amazes me more than anything I've ever seen.

If marijuana kills brain cells than I must have more to spare than usual. I too was a pothead during college and yet graduated with a double major and over a 3.5 GPA. One of those majors was a foreign language that I learned to speak more fluently than any non-native speaker I have ever talked with. I then got a job at a bank where all employees were given a drug test (I cheated on it to pass) and strictly prohibited from having any drug metabolite in their system at any time. I also got a perfect score on their math and language aptitude tests while I was applying for the job (and was currently smoking pot). The worst thing that happens to me when I get high is I feel tired, hungry, and paranoid. Oh well. That's nothing compared with feeling dizzy, nauseous, stupid, and overconfident after drinking alcohol (and let's not forget that nasty hangover) Even after a night of heavy pot smoking and going to sleep very high, all I have ever experienced the next day was sleepiness and a hard time concentrating on things. And, these effects diminish to almost zero when I smoke daily. So then, I would say perhaps that marijuana may temporarily ALTER brain cells, but it does not kill them like alcohol (many people are surprised when I tell them that just one standard drink of alcohol quickly and permanently kills 10,000 brain cells) That may seem like nothing considering we have billions of them, but a heavy drinker can actually KILL BILLIONS of brain cells over several decades of drinking (do the math and you will find that I am right). But what do I know? I've only been smoking pot for 4 years now. I tell you what, how about I post another message 36 years from now (I will have been smoking pot for 40 years) and we'll see if I can write an ensightful, coherent argument. Something tells me that many of those hardcore drinkers out there won't even still be alive to tell their tale....

What do you know about your Laptop Battery?

Every laptop has a certain battery life and we notice that down the line after some months of usage, battery life reduces and sometimes dies out and some users claim that the laptop brand is not good because of that. I for one have always believed that the way you use your laptop matters because as an electronic device, you need to optimize the usage to get the best out of it. Sleeping on that, i stumbled on Thomas Mikaelson article listing five ways of doing that and an interesting info graphics from batteries.com you should see.

Screen Brightness:
Screen brightness is a top juice draw, and most users have their brightness turned too high. The reason for that is that the manufacturers and retailers jack up the brightness to make them more attractive on display. But you don’t need it that high, and chances are it’s contributing to your eyestrain. By turning brightness down to the minimum usable level, you can make yourself more comfortable and extend the per-usage life of your laptop batteries.

Use It Or Lose It:
A big mistake that many laptop users make is that they leave their laptop plugged in while the battery is connected. This causes a constant drain-charge cycle that slowly decreases the capacity of laptop batteries. Instead, remove the battery from the laptop when connecting it to a wall outlet, or only connect it to the wall outlet when it requires a charge; the latter is an excellent way to maintain long-term battery health.

Beat The Heat:
Heat diminishes available power in two ways: It causes power to drain less efficiently, and it forces the fans to run more and at higher speeds. Manage this by keeping vents clear and clean. Watch for obstructions, such as laps and seating, and consider a laptop cooler, which can often cool your laptop more efficiently than the fans alone.

Beware Of Accessories:
Attaching, including charging, accessories via USB is a great and inefficient draw of power on laptop batteries. Never charge your cell phone via your laptop unless it is an emergency. Likewise, avoid using external drives and similar accessories whenever possible. Instead, wait to use them until you have an electric outlet available.

Keep It Dry:
Using our laptops on the go, accidents are bound to happen. At some point, you will spill coffee or some other liquid. When a spill happens, go the extra mile to dry it. If it’s a substantial spill, even if there’s no apparent effect, take it for repair. Spills often cause corrosion on contacts, and although that corrosion may not prevent the laptop from operating, it will cause power usage to be inefficient, and over time, that inefficiency can be significant.

why not.when dey is ni string attach again.but be 90% sure if u both keep in contact there's every proof u both will be tempted....(is a feeling of d past that u can't earse)but u can only prove stuborn 4 d early stage,but ask urself how long will it take.coz we r all human's.
Best advice if u dont want to fall back to his/her hands again.dont keep contacts.just be yourself

funny enough i've never used liqour or detergent to wash my car for the past 3yrs plus.the the Ash piant colour is it gomouring and shining.
Secret is i use ordinary water to wash and clean my benz 230E. my papa dash my.and i learnt that from my daddy.
Note plz....not colour Well water.but nomal clean well water.

girls r just say.that dere can't fight with other girl at the point of action:...wait untill u caught ur lover with another beautiful and well curve body lady.na that time ur head go spian like nitro.....
some girls jelous die.their cant tk it...kia...

the FG gave out the money to each state govt.
So if u dont see any in ur state,u kn ur govonor don....:

but under inflated tyres is good to roll in deserts.
