The girl has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). If she doesn't have the vascular type (that affects blood vessels potentially causing stroke, aortic dissection, etc) she will be fine.

It affects about 1 in 5000 people out there with varying severity depending on the type.

It is usually caused by an autosomal dominant gene mutation, but some cases are recessive.

I seriously doubt if u hav friendzoned a gal b4, dey don't always care abt money and so on.....dey will want u at all cost! Trust me

I do not know about friend zoning a girl but I hv resisted clear advances from girls right from secondary school. About 75% ended in the girls not even speaking to me anymore. Once they were sure I was not interested, their amorous talks, persistence, sweetness and bringing food turned to hate.

The workplace ones were quite horrible. It made working environment a bit toxic. If I do not want a girl no matter what she does, it will not make me date her. Simple.
And most women handle rejection very badly.
I wonder how much experience you have in friend zoning girls.

Beht wait oo girls to can be friend zoned... You're only on the guys' side

It's hard to friendzone a girl for a long time. Because she might still be "eating" your money and giving the cookie to others. She will not stay in friendzone without some benefits falling to her. No way. So it is a loose-loose situation for a guy. Also remember that girls will be actively "toasted" regularly by others. So she would certainly like one of her toasters a bit to succumb.

If she cannot get her way soon (if she really digs you) she might become your enemy soon or spread rumor about that you are gay. grin

In any case, even if she fancies you, she would still have a casual bf on the side to meet certain needs: financial, sexual, etc.

HeyCorleone:
You're failing to get my point.

Never did I stare that those who read less write better. It's funny with all the books you claim to have read you can't grasp simple points..

Because you've read over a zillion books doesn't make you ready to write a book. Do you actually understand the basics of story writing?!

You fail to get that writing is an art, but I don't blame you. We live in a country were engineers work in banks and all. We feel fields of the Arts and Social Sciences are for any Joe blogg. That is why we have not progressed much.

Lol. See how assuming you are. I have spent about 65 to 70% of my life outside 9ja. Moreover English is just one of many Western languages I use. Because I presume you mean writing books in English language. So I am not trying to defend 9ja system in anyway. Just telling you that you're looking at things in a rather myopic way.

In places I have lived in, a minister of health does not have to be a medic, a finance minister can be a history graduate and very many senior bankers are lawyers and engineers by training. One prime minister had no university education yet he opened access to university education than any other prime minister in their history.

As system that works simply works. It is about attitude, a set of values and desire to improve.

I know of technicians who left the West to work in Nigeria. They are leading Nigerians with several degrees in major multi-national companies in 9ja. One is even married to a 9ja girl. He works in 9ja and the girl still lives in the West.

My point is still very simple. Having many degrees in literature does not make you a good writer. People are talented in various ways. Some can just refine their skills attending creative writing courses that are everywhere.

Knowing simile, syntax or whatever does not mean you can use them to creative a great literary work.
Aside specially certified professions: healthcare, engineering, architecture, chartered status in some professions, people with proper a education can learn and excel in many fields. They have transferable skills.

Nigeria has failed for other reasons: corruption, tribalism, religious bigotry, turn-by-turn food is ready mentality, etc. Not because a civil engineer works in a bank. Engineers even has a numeracy advantage. And serious companies/Ministries train graduates to the level they want upon employment.

Lol. So you mean those who do not read are more likely to be writers? cheesy

I will give you and example of a very young relative who who got her poetry published under the age of 8! She began reading lots of kids' novels very very early.

Having a PhD in literature does not mean you are set to write a decent book either.

Literature › Re: JP Clark, Achebe & Soyinka At Dodan Barracks In 1986 (Throwback Photo) by AreaFada2: 8:56pm On Dec 26, 2017

HeyCorleone:
I get your POV.

The Achebe you mentioned studied English Literature at U.I. So I don't understand why you singled him out. The Chimamanda you mentioned also graduated summa cum laude in Communications and Political science, has 2 Masters degree in Creative Arts and African study.

Why you mentioned those 2 people is quite beyond me because it seemed you were opposing my view.

It goes beyond saying that one must at least know the basics of literature before embarking on a project in the creative arts.

Education in Nigeria is one that doesn't do well to balance things up for people. Now, ask a science student in the University when last he did Literature, he'd say JS3 or before then, and any sane person knows Literature in Junior school was crap. Now tell me how can a person understand what exactly it is to write? It's not just enough to swallow all Sidney Sheldon's books or read anything by Stephen King or any other best seller. Do you really understand what it means to write? Do you understand the stages of a story? (conflict, climax, resolution) Do you have ideas of styles and techniques to employ in writing? And you want to write a book?? LoL..

Writing, whether we like it or not, is an art, and like all arts must be mastered, otherwise you'd be a very terrible writer. One of the very worst books I've read in recent times is "The Last Days Of Forcados High". Borrowed it from a neighbour's kid, and man was I depressed. The book was lacking in content. Fine the author had a nice story, but he doesn't know how to write. The depressing thing of all is the book is JAMB recommended.

Anyways, you mentioned some foreign names.. Lol.. These are writers who did literature and took part in literary activities till Grade 12, unlike here where they split us into departments. Surely they'd be grounded in literature. And also why in university, they may decide to minor in some art course, which is quite impossible here. So why won't they make brilliant writers after mastering the art of writing.

But here you have medical doctors who don't know the difference between a simile and a metaphor, who read all things medicine for fear of getting a 'C', and who have no idea about extensive writing coming out to write books or poems.

Lol..

That is why everything in Nigeria is awful. Because we just assume any dick can do any work in the field of art or the social sciences. That is why our Journalism is rubbish, our music rubbish, and the art of governance rubbish.

Well I did science at school. But during the long " vacation" myself and relatives read around 30 to 50 novels. My cousin who is now a US-based architect used to read up 100 novels. We were are science students. One cannot generalise really. Despite the rot in Nigerian education there are versatile individuals out there.

By the way there is no record of William Shakespeare having any brilliant education. He did not even go to university. Yet his contemporaries who went through Oxbridge did not do better than him in terms of literary achievement.

Intellectuals..

People who learnt, understood and mastered the art of writing..

Not the many mediocre we see these days. Because someone can tell blatant tales to his friends he feels he's a qualified author. Someone who doesn't understand a thing about literature or the performing arts..

Imagine a medical doctor writing a novel. Terrible.

Actually doctors and medically inclined people are some of the best writers out there.

Achebe got scholarship to study medicine at University College Ibadan. He switched to Literature at UCI, now UI.

Chimamanda Adichie even began medical studies. The American Afghan writer, Khaled Hosseini is a doctor. He wrote "The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns etc". Brilliant novels and was even invited to the White House by George Bush Jnr.

If you are an avid reader you will have read books by the following medical doctors: Anton Chekov, Friedrich Schiller (one of the best German wrirets ever), Francois Rabelais, Arthur Conan-Doyle, Michael Crichton, Oliver Wendell-Holmes, Nawal El-Sadaawi, Robin Cook, and many more. And many who left medical studies half-way became brilliant writers such as John Keats, Oliver Goldsmith, etc.

Doctors get close to people, get to know all their secrets: physical, health, sexuality, employment, economic, financial, marital issues and more. Hardly anybody else gets to understand the human condition on daily basis than a doctor. At least as practiced in the West. All these are stuff of good literature.

Now in terms of ability, medical candidates typically excel in all subjects: arts/languages, social science, science, maths, etc. Most medical students have As or A stars throughout. I am again referring to the West like France, UK and others that I am familiar with. So why should they not excel as writers?

Christianity Etc › Re: What Is The Attack Behind Witchcraft Pressing At Night? by AreaFada2: 11:53pm On Dec 24, 2017*

fineboynl:
far from it. this is not sleep paralysis. i am talking of suppress someone. science cannot explain this one oh. you have a dream demon is coming then when you tried to wake up.. you find out that something like electric all over the body and a heavy weight ontop of you.

That pressing is the "chest pressure" symptom and simply part of sleep paralysis alongside being "awake, fear, immobility, awareness of surrounding, feeling presence of other, breathing diffculty, etc".

The most likely reason is that the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase of your sleep cycle is disturbed. REM is a deep phase of sleep in which your brain renders your muscles paralyzed. This is so because it is the phase in which you dream. If your muscles were not paralyzed you could act out the dream experience. Like getting up from bed and running and banging into the wall or run into a road with busy traffic!

If that REM phase is interrupted abruptly and your brain has not freed the muscles from paralysis, you get that experience of being "pressed". Because when you try getting up, you cannot. It would feel as though some forces overpower you, holding you down. Well, the only force at play is your brain!

My deduction from simple anatomy/physiology is that most likely your breathing muscles also undergo a slight paralysis but good enough to enable you breath while asleep. But a rapid need to breath faster in that state of fear causes that feeling of dread when you cannot breath as fast as you would like. I stand to be corrected.

Hmmm.Can someone pls explain to me the meaning of good sex ? Does it have to do with duration e.g 60mins, 90mins, 360mins or 24hours?

Very subjective my brother.

Duration, size, pre-intimacy, frequency, technique, energy? Who knows?
Funny thing is that many of those girls complaining of poor sex might actually be very bad in bed themselves! grin

Whether man or woman only interested in own sexual satisfaction would likely be bad in bed. Yet selfishness is very common in sex. Each focusing on own climaxing quite often.

Imagine a woman wants satisfaction but finds a certain angle too exhausting or uncomfortable or a certain act against her "religious" belief. Then she later complains in an agony aunt section in a newspaper column.

A lady with a very wide and loose below would prefer to blame a guy as having a small instrument. But has she ever wondered how her size compares to that of another woman out there? shocked

Another will complain that her man's big instrument causes her pain, abeg penile reduction surgery en vogue too? shocked

But at least that Njamaze babe is honest. Telling us what we already know. Most women like d.ick pass anything. Yet they want guys to pay for it. Whether as a boyfriend, customer or whatever. shocked

Lol.

I see watching porn as a punishment. It will just get you high for nothing, so why punish yourself that way?

Maybe some NLers with a few years on their back can relate. Way back, some cinemas used to screen blue films illegally. shocked

We were teens. So after screening normal films, they will kick out kids or baby face people/teens before showing porn. Now me and my friends thought it was unfair. We paid the same entry fee as others and wanted our money's worth. Though the first time we had no idea why kids were being kicked out. But still we resisted. Luckily most of all were quite tall for our age and we claimed to be 18 and the shorter ones claimed to be senior to the taller ones!

Then the blue film started! We were shocked. But composed ourselves. So as teens we thought sex was such an awesome thing and the woman screaming loud was the norm. cheesy

So of course the first sexual experience came as bit of a disappointment. But still seeing those porn films were our only sex education. Nobody gave us any information/education about sex.

Yup chemistry is more important. Marriage at 19? Not in this generation im sorry lool.

Lol. Many out there happening.

If I wanted to marry a girl of 18 sef, even as a second or third wife I'd have no problem getting one. As first wife is easy peasy. She might even be a Level 100 or 200 university student. Like I said only her family might object. Convince the family and you are good to go. Not bragging o. You do not even have to be rich.

I personally do not like marrying a girl that young as they can change later and feel they missed out by marrying too early. And a personal experience years back: they can be manipulated by people, the mum in particular. Everyone can be manipulated but the young inexperienced ones even more so. I cannot elaborate but spotting that likelihood quickly enough helped me avoid such a scenario. A personal experience.

Do you know how many female students and youth corpers under 25 are married? Not as few as you think. Some married ones even still mess around in NYSC camp.

Look there are things we men see out there.

The word marriage is quite magical for many girls still. At 19 or 20 the only thing she might ask for is to allow her complete her studies before having kids.

Surprisingly not all such girls come from a poor background or just want to escape poverty by marrying early.

Celebrities › Re: Daddy Freeze Replies Zack Orji - Pity Will Not Solve Tithing, Give Us Quotations by AreaFada2: 6:25pm On Dec 21, 2017*

BumbleDevil:
Let us settle this issue of tithe once and for all.

Those who preach and promote tithe succeeded to a large extent by instilling fears into the people so they won't question the rationale behind tithe and tithing.

As I have said earlier, because Jesus was not from the tribe of Levi, he did not demand a tithe. His descent from the tribe of Judah makes him ineligible to receive tithe, so why do we Christians (Christ-like) receive tithes.

The focal point of the tithe is that IT IS ONLY MEMBERS OF THE TRIBE OF LEVI who were ordained to receive tithe. The Levites in return as demanded by God were to give a tenth of that tithe to the priest (Read Numbers 18:25-28).

Modern-day pastors represent the priest in the old testament. In Number 18:1-21, God commanded the priests to take their brethren, the Levites to come and assist them in the temple with certain restrictions and he gave the priest their own inheritance of the offerings brought into the temple, of all first offspring of both animals and humans. To this end, any Pastor collecting tithe is only usurping the inheritance of the Levites because God did not authorize the priest to receive tithe. Going further, if modern day pastors receive tithes as they are now claiming ownership of tithes, then to whom did they give the 10 percent God commanded the Levites to give to the Priest.
If the act of offering animal sacrifices as commanded by God, is no longer valid today, then why is TITHE

Payment of tithe as ordained by God is to only a group of people, and only one group... The LEVITES. It is categorically stated that the tribe of Levi, one of the twelve ancient tribes in Israel, and no one else, had the authority to receive tithe. (Numbers 3:1-10,24, Number 4)

People are quick to refer to Genesis 14:20 and Genesis 28:22 when Abraham and Jacob practiced tithing. However, we should understand clearly that Abraham practiced practices tithing willingly and voluntarily devoid of any divine injunction. He also gave a tithe from the spoils of war and not from his produce. Jacob's tithing, on the other hand, was a promised he made to God if God will bless him.

Modern-day Pastors are totally disqualified from receiving tithe because there is no OFFICIAL body of men functioning as the Levites.

No one has the right to choose to whom they pay the tithe that God has ordained to be paid to the Levites. So it is not only the receiver of tithe that disobeys God, but also the payers.(Numbers 16:47-54, Deuteronomy 10:1-9) You cannot do that which God has not appointed you to do, those who tried it are severely punished, some with death. 2 Samuel 6:1-8, 1 Chronicles 13: 9-12.

Burnt offering and tithe are practiced in Judaism. So why leave out the burnt offering and hold on to tithe.

Preachers, Prophets, Pastors, G.O's should heed the teaching of God and refrain from taking what does not belong to them.

They will not listen.

Just leave them to their ignorance....and greed on the part of the god of men. shocked

Doctors in the house please help me i don't understand this statement"x-xay showed that the bullet is still resting on my lungs. Is it possible?

Radiographers & nurses will know that too. The bullet probably did not seriously injure/collapse the lung.

Technically bullets can lodge in any organ. Even brain. The problem is the damage it does to the organ. In the heart would most likely be deadly.

If the bullet injures a large blood vessel and causes bleeding then potentially deadly. Both from trauma caused and massive blood loss. But the type of gun, distance, trajectory and others would affect the impact/damage on the victim.

Some bullets lodged in some parts of the body might be too risky to extricate and can there lifelong.
