LordCenturion:
That book is full of jagons,,


[s]When @GEJonathan signed antigay law, @davidaxelrod, @BarackObama's advisor,began helping APC #FactsVFictionGEJYears[/s] trash


After Obama support APC, buhari don approve gay law?

APC also scammed Obama. They knew they could delay it until Obama leaves power, just 18 months into APC regime.

Osamor is hot.
Congrats to them.

Even at 48 years old o.

No regard for health & safety.

No wonder the large number of victims during mishap in these climes.

Priapism.

Pastors sabi sexual things o.

And infections are killing people anyhow.

You mean it should have been physically challenged people doing that?

FG just made him popular. And Arewa Youth doing a great job for him.

FG messed up big time.

thank you so much sir.... I will surely go for Echo and that was what exactly the doc told me to do.... But I really want to ask if it can be controll or cure or does it have to be like that?

You're welcome sir.

For now do not worry about it. Get the echo done first. That will show the full detail. And the possible cause.
Typically it is about preventing it worsening (like treating underlying condition like high BP) & possibly control symptoms as appropriate.

Then lifestyle advice might be added.

But be very frank to your doc about all your medical history, family history of any cardiovascular conditions (ask your parents & siblings about any heart conditions), medications if any and so on. Remember if any close blood relative died of sudden death (God forbid), died young (aside accident) even if long ago.

I hope your doctor is a cardiologist, not just any doctor. A teaching hospital is the best place to find one.

uncleFola:
thank you so much OP. But I want to ask something, there was one time like that I was having palpitation and very strong one and the doc told me to go for ECG.... Which I did, but in d result there was this "left Ventricular Hypertrophy"... Which I took back to d doc and told me to do another test on d LVH. But have not gone for the test.... Pls I want any doc in the house to explain to me what's LVH all about... Here is a picture of the test

Sir I suppose echo is the test you have not done yet. Try and do it soonest.
Echocardiography is a better test not just to confirm it but to search for possible cause or causes of it.

LVH means that the left chamber that does pumping of blood around the body has a thickened wall. Although it naturally has a thicker wall than the right ventricle but it still indicates that it is working too hard over time.
In older people the major cause is high blood pressure. Especially if diagnosed late or is poorly controlled.

It can also be due to congenital abnormality of the heart in younger people mostly.

Echo can detect a cause like aortic valve stenosis. Where the aortic valve if stiff and the heart has to work harder to pump blood through it. Echo can also measure the actual wall thickness.

If they were in 9ja people will be saying the boys are in their 30s.

Nigerians: their own worst enemies.

Is yahoo now punishable with capital punishment?

RIP.

A lot of people do not want to hear the truth. Tell them the truth and they call you envious & frenemy.

Very many people are ingrate. They naturally do not value what you do for them. They think those who are there for them are mumu.

Once they progress a bit, they do not care. They only remember you if they ever need your help again.

Just do good and expect nothing in return, not even being appreciated or valued. That way just be happy with yourself.

Makes sense.

It is no news that majority of women are not that generous with money. 99% of Gfs and around 80% of wives (who have the means) can never reciprocate the economic generosity they feel entitled to from men.

It is the single biggest barrier to emancipation of the African woman. Willful economic dependence on men.

1.2billion naira monthly deductions.. Lets do a brief calculation
Estimated return date 2035
Fayose got elected at d tail end of 2014
Lets ignore d 2014...
2035-2015= 20yrs
1.2billion naira monthly deductions for 20yrs
1.2*12months=14.4billion
14.4billion *20=#288billion.
Question Raised
What did Fayemi do with 288billion?
Or is Fayose deliberately lying to lay d ground for his own looting spree?
Or is dat a deliberate exaggeration just to score political point?
According to data from Debt Management office of Nigeria, Ekiti has a debt profile of #52billion as at December 2015..

Well, people completely ignored that bit.

Our youths have no time for important details. Only tribal stuff and bigotry. Yet they complain why the have no chance in politics like Chi Onwura & other Nigerians in diaspora.

Can Fayose just make up such a huge deduction? At least it should be possible to prove such deduction easily if Fayemi protests it.

We all know many extra states should never have been created. They are not sustainable. Instead, LGAs should have been given more powers within the old states. We didn't need the extra expensive executive, legislature & civil service of new states.

RIP.

That's not my problem with the topic. My problem is acting as if Nigeria ever did sth for these people. Nigeria has failed its youth so no need pretending that they would have the same chance if they were in Nigeria. It's the British society which made them who they are today not the Nigerian!

Besides most of them are women, how many women are into politics in Nigeria. When they have already been drilled into that marriage is the number 1 goal every woman should achieve. It's more likely to hear Nigerians shut a woman up if she talks about politics because of the "what does she know" mentality.

Everyday I see British or Americans with Nigerian heritage doing great but then Nigerians acting like they achieved those goals BECAUSE they are "Nigerians"

I understand your point. Actually the reason why Western societies began to progress visionary leaders began to ask themselves what they can do for their country, not what they can get from it. With time the society began to benefit everybody.

Their heritage played a big part in it. Their parents knowing fully well that you must fight hard, passed that mentality on.

Considering the high level of education among UK women, 200 female MPs out of 650 is not that high in my opinion. This is a parliament that is centuries old.
Just maybe the diaspora 9ja doing well increasingly will finally make youths understand that our system as it is run us the problem. And maybe start to wake up.

Amazing.

So even Arewa Youth are now "codedly" supporting Biafra. Maybe not in good faith but nonetheless.

Mr Unongo should code that the future belongs to the youth. Northern youth included. If the youth want no unity, then it is serious.

And that the killing of 3 million people should never have happened. Because considering the country we have now, it is double tragedy that so many had to die. Only to achieve a failed country 50 years on.

The make-up na die.

Just too much.
That is why I still admire Agbani.

Proper black beauty.

lovelygurl:
They are NOT Nigerians but their parents probably are. Most of them might have just been in Nigeria 3x in their lives

But still, they carry 9ja torch brighter than most ugwu or ewedu-eating locally based Nigerians.

Those who do well are mostly those who grew up with the never-say-die determined attitude of their 9ja parents.

It takes resilience and proper adjustment to an environment where you are of minority ethnicity to navigate the system.

If you have suck kids, you will know that if you raise them to be proud of their heritage, they will be first to shout their "Nigerianness", while immigrants Lukmon & Chinedu are busy faking accent to mask their own.

Meekmind:
Hhmmm...that was how my gf (now Ex) left me on the spot in a public place without any issues or any offence from me & went with a guy in a car right in my very presence...Though she has been behaving very strange & funny giving me needless attitude hence the reason for going over to her place to find out what problem really was & resolve it, not knowing i'm the one still dating her & that she has moved on...To say it was painful is an understatement, I went back home, ruminate over everything, cried & moved on...
Thank God i went over to her place sha, i wouldn't have known there is more to it...ALL THIS HAPPENED WITHIN THE SPACE OF A WEEK

NOTE: This is a girl that was always begging/pleading with me not to jilt/Cheat on her all the time, the tin sef don turn her personal anthem, she monitors & investigate pass F.B.I...who would have thought she would be the one to err, she was not even remorseful...MAY 24 a day i'll never forget

I have downloaded some anti-shocker
Life is full of shocks-Mum's advise

Expect anything from a woman. Those who plead not to be cheated on are the real cheating experts themselves.
Times are economically tough now. A large number of ladies would move on if the other side looks much greener over all after considering many aspects.

Be prepared for anything including your "gf" suddenly announcing her wedding to another guy.

A woman chooses a man and also chooses the father of her children both within and without wedlock.

Sadly Igbo have too little "lebensraum" in the SE.

It is not a coincidence that they travel a lot.

A consensus should be sought quickly.

Igbo control many aspects of trade across Nigeria and have become invaluable.

Sugarcious:
That dude is responsible for her death. The drinks have been poisoned.

Only autopsy & toxicology results can show cause, before even working out who could (without any doubt) have possibly be responsible.

Pure evil everywhere.

Na wa o.

Pure evil.

Nice.

An open secret.

Lol.

vicadex07:
Its between Mariam Babangida and Stella Obasanjo. Both were top notch classy women.

Patience on the other hand na agbero. She was uncouth and unladylike. That made her popular for all the wrong reasons.

Mama peace was notorious, not popular.

If she isn't throwing grammatical bombs and bullets today, she will be busy bullying one governor or the other.

But we are talking of popular, not class.

You can be educated, polished, fine and all that but not popular or capture popular imagination.

Maryam IBB was the pioneer of that. The first visibly audible FL, even before social media came. She combined beauty & grace with all those. There was really no first lady office before her. And she began all that in a very austere military barracks (Dodan Barracks).

It's a tie between Dame Pat & Stella Obasanjo. Because even without much sophistication & affluent family background like Stella, Pat still did not come in with timidity or inferiority complex. That is quite an achievement in a male dominated society where women are expected to know their place.

Great stuff, congrats.

Good.
But there was a thread last night about a guy who hired his former secondary school teacher.
In 9ja case things are not always on merit or CV. Tribe, religion, long leg and such play a major role.

Equiano:
This is only theoretical, it's not practical in our society

The guy just dey break grammar. When you are surrounded by poverty. Does he know how much many people spend assisting relatives and friends in dire need?
