| Politics › Re: In 2015 I’ll Vote Like A Scientist... by ashson(op): 4:12am On Aug 01, 2013 |
Now apply this to PDP vs the Opposition: by voting the PDP we get more of what we have been getting since 1999 (corruption, insecurity, fuel price hike, collapsing infrastructure, etc.) i.e. you don’t stand to gain anything. Voting the opposition on the other hand will mean either they turn out to be like the PDP in which case we lose nothing or they will be different in which case we gain something. It is that possibility, that teeny tiny little chance that they would turn out to be different that makes voting them a more sensible option than voting back the PDP. * * * So on Election Day in 2015, after collecting my ballot papers from the INEC guys, I’ll make my way to the polling booth and as I stand in front of the ballot box, I’ll think deeply about every single vote – if it doesn’t make scientific sense, then it’s not worth casting. |
| Politics › In 2015 I’ll Vote Like A Scientist... by ashson(op): 4:06am On Aug 01, 2013 |
In 2015 I’ll vote like a Scientist I am a scientist. The kind that is yet to invent anything but nonetheless, I was trained as one and therefore think like one. If you ask me, I think everybody should think like a scientist regardless of whether they are scientists or not because science is the only field that relentlessly marches forward and never turns back. Every generation gets born into a world that is more scientifically advanced than the one their parents were born into. Not so for other fields; religion for example is designed not to change. It can accommodate changes no doubt, but its essence and core values are meant to be static. Art is another example. It goes forwardand backwards. And for the past few centuries it has been going mostly backwards. We have moved from Leonardo and his angelic depiction of the Last Supper, to Picasso and his gibberish paintings that nobody really understands although many like to flatter themselves by pretending they do. What I am trying to say in essence is that if we want to kick-start this country on a relentless forward march to progress, then we have to start thinking, acting, and voting like scientists. What has science got to do with voting you may ask, well…this is precisely the purpose of this post. To show you how to vote like a scientist and in the process show you how science could help you make better choices. I’ll do that by telling you what I (a scientist determined to vote like one) will be considering on Election Day in 2015. * * * The day will be hot and sunny like other election days before it. I’d wake up very early convinced that after that day, Nigeria will not be the same again. I’ll have a light breakfast and then go to do a preliminary check on my polling station to see if the INEC people have arrived (that would be around 9:30 AM). I’ll return home shortly after to bathe and do other stuff until about 11:30 AM when I’ll leave home again, this time to cast my vote. But before then, knowing the way my mind works, a thousand thoughts would’ve flippedpast. What follows are some of those thoughts that would occupy my mind… Newton’s Law:This is one of the first things they teach in Physics and it’ll be one of the first things I will be considering on Election Day. The law states that a moving body continues in a state of motion until it is compelled by an external force. In other words, if a ball is rolled across a floor, it will continue to roll in the same direction until a force aside from the one driving it, acts on it (like a wall, or the wind, or the friction between the ball and the floor). Take Nigeria to be that ball and the PDP the force currently driving it. It is no news that things have progressively worsened in the last 14 years that the PDP has been running this country. We are literally on the brink of self-destruction. We are staring Somalia squarely in the face. So according to Newton’s Law, the only thing that can stop our steady march to perdition is when a force different from the one currently driving this country acts. This I think, answers those who think salvation can still be gotten through the PDP by simply replacing Goodluckwith Lamido, or Tambuwal, or whoever. The change, like the force that stops a rolling ball, must come from outside of the PDP. The PDP simply has too many vested interests that are too deeply entrenched in its soul to render any leader (no matter how good his intentions) ineffective. The Uncertainty Principle:This is from the realm of particle physics (quantum theory). Without going into any complicated details, the principle simply talks about how when you know one property of a sub-atomic particle, its other properties become uncertain. If you know its mass then its velocity is uncertain; if you know its velocity, its mass is uncertain. I will be applying this principle thoroughly on election day and I likeit a lot because it deals a knockout punch to those annoying and patronizing politicians who cannot put up a simple poster or billboard without adding Muhammadu Buhari’s face. According to the Uncertainty Principle, if we know one, then the other is automatically uncertain (questionable). Since we know Buhari to be a man of integrity (why else is his image used so indiscriminately), it automatically means the other face on the poster is of questionable integrity. Since we know Buhari to be upright, then the uprightness of the other fellow must be uncertain. The fact that the guy needs to hide behind someone else’s integrity, is proof that he lacks integrity of his own. For that alone I will not vote for such politicians...

Don Pedro Okojie wrote: I RESPECT PROF TAM DAVID WEST....This is what he says of GEN. BUHARI. The Man Buhari by Prof. Tam David West. "Buhari is one of the cleanest men I have ever met in my life. If anybody wants me to dislike Buhari, such person should give me an example of his corruption. I will run away from him totally. But right now, there is no evidence. On the contrary, the more they attack him on this issue of corruption, the more they are making him Gold bier. I will give two examples. One, Babangida thought Buhari was making a lot of money on counter trading, so he set up two independent bodies to investigate counter trading. One of the bodies was headed by J.K. Randle, while the second was headed by Prof. Aboyade of blessed memory. None of them found anything against Buhari. None. I attested before the two bodies. Great Aboyade commission was digging into Buhari’s counter trading, J.K. Randle, who’s still alive, did the same thing. But both of them produced reports that showed that counter trading was so clean and was making so much money for Nigeria. Then two, soon after Obasanjo was sworn in, there was a social function for him in Lagos or so, then surprisingly, some people tried to praise Buhari, Obasanjo said: ‘don’t praise him, I have not probed him.’ It was after that incident that Obasanjo set up Dr. Haroun’s probe panel of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF). Haroun probed PTF inside out. Buhari was discovered to be as clean as snow. You know, why he agreed to be the head of PTF was not to condone what Abacha was doing then, but he saw it as a way of serving the country and he did well. I have the record. Haroun came out and said PTF account was audited every year while Federal Government account was not audited in 36 years. You know Babangida detained Buhari for 40months after he overthrew him. Buhari’s mother died while he was in detention and as a Muslim, I expected Babangida to rise above politics and allow Buhari to go bury his mother. If he was released, I am sure he wouldn’t have run away. Buhari was not allowed to go bury his mother. But in the night after the woman was buried, Babangida released Buhari. His son died, the same thing happened. Anyway, after Buhari came out of detention, he told Babangida to tell the world about his corruption. The records are there. The same thing happened with the PTF. He told Obasanjo to publish the report of the panel, but Obasanjo could not publish it because it was a certificate of honour for Buhari. If that Haroun’s report had any page in it that indicted Buhari, Obasanjo would have used that to disqualify Buhari from contesting against him. Buhari is clean. He is not corrupt. To show how Buhari loves Nigeria, he doesn’t like spending Nigerian money frivolously. When he overthrew Shehu Shagari, Buhari never changed any chair or curtain in Dodan Barracks. Buhari used what Shagari was using until he left. As minister, our total pocket money under Buhari was N200 per month. You could spend less than N200 without accounting for it, but anything above N200, you must account for it. When he increased the money to N250, we clapped for him at the executive council. Now, as a former governor of the defunct north- eastern state, former minister of petroleum, former head of state, former executive chairman of PTF, Buhari has no house in Abuja. If he goes to Abuja, he stays in a private hotel. He has no house either uphill or downhill, apart from his house in Kaduna." ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- MY TAKE: It is very glaring to every discerning mind that those who are corrupt and are enemies of the masses will never like the man Buhari. They have seen how CLEAN he is. They know they can't stand him being President because he is never one to condone their "lootocracy" and has never been. They devise ways and means to discredit him. The best tool to use is religion and ethnicity to deceive the gullible minds via lies, lies and more lies. The best man to use is Reuben Abati who has since been rewarded for doing a good job while throwing away the ethics of journalism and all he has been preaching and writing about in his Guardian Newspaper and on TV for years. Many Northern leaders and lootocrats that have no love or concern for the common man and their counterparts in the South know fully well that a Buhari Presidency means END of THE ROAD for them. No wonder they are all gathered in one club. No wonder their hand works are all we keep seeing that still keeps our compatriots divided, hating and fighting each other. That is exactly what they want. For as long as NIGERIANS are divided. They cannot FIGHT for one CAUSE! I rather be among the minority that stands honourably on the side of truth, honesty and nationalism. 2 Likes |

| Islam › How Parents Can Help Kids Make Friends But Resist Negative Peer Pressure by ashson(op): 11:06pm On Jun 07, 2013 |
How parents can help kids make friends but resist negative peer pressure As a child leaves infancy and approaches toddlerhood, one of the tasks parents face is introducing the child to the peer group. To be sure, parents are interested in their child's earliest interactions with peers, but in time, parents become more seriously invested in their children's ability to get along with playmates. Getting along has different meanings for different parents, but in general, parents want their child to enjoy the company of other children, be liked by them, be well-behaved in their presence (for example, share and cooperate with them), and resist the influence of companions who are overly boisterous, aggressive or defiant of adult authority. How do parents help their child become a socially competent, well-liked playmate who is not too easily influenced by ill-behaved peers? What do we know from research literature in this area? Inasmuch as peer relations is only one of many social relationships that a child must master, it is not surprising that research on parenting styles gives some helpful insights into development of social skills in the peer group. A number of investigators, such as Diana Baumrind, Martin Hoffman, and Martha Putallaz, have made significant contributions to this topic. The connection between parenting styles and peer relations The research of Diana Baumrind is particularly noteworthy. Baumrind has published a series of studies on the relation between parental child rearing styles and social competence in children of preschool and school age. Data on nursery school children were obtained from observations in a school setting and in laboratory test situations when the children were approximately four to five years of age. Data on the children's parents were obtained through home observations and interviews of both mothers and fathers. Three kinds of parenting Three contrasting parenting styles were identified by Baumrind: authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative, each of which has implications for the child's social competence with peers and adults. The three parenting styles differ particularly on two parenting dimensions: the amount of nurturance in child-rearing interactions and the amount of parental control over the child's activities and behavior. Authoritarian Authoritarian parents tend to be low in nurturance and high in parental control compared with other parents. They set absolute standards of behavior for their children that are not to be questioned or negotiated. They favor forceful discipline and demand prompt obedience. Authoritarian parents also are less likely than others to use more gentle methods of persuasion, such as affection, praise and rewards, with their children. Consequently, authoritarian parents are prone to model the more aggressive modes of conflict resolution and are lax in modeling affectionate, nurturant behaviors in their interactions with their children. Permissive In sharp contrast, permissive parents tend to be moderate-to-high in nurturance, but low in parental control. These parents place relatively few demands on their children and are likely to be inconsistent disciplinarians. They are accepting of the child's impulses, desires, and actions and are less likely than other parents to monitor their children's behavior. Although their children tend to be friendly, sociable youngsters, compared with others their age they lack a knowledge of appropriate behaviors for ordinary social situations and take too little responsibility for their own misbehavior. Authoritative Authoritative parents, in contrast to both authoritarian and permissive parents, tend to be high in nurturance and moderate in parental control when it comes to dealing with child behavior. It is this combination of parenting strategies that Baumrind and others find the most facilitative in the development of social competence during early childhood and beyond. The following discussion describes specific behaviors used by authoritative parents and the role these behaviors play in fostering social development. Nurturing behaviors of parents that can indicate the child's social competence include: affectionate and friendly interaction with the child; Example: Jaber(r.a.) narrates that he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) crawling on his hands and knees while Hasan and Husayn were riding on his back. He said, "The best riders are you and the best camel is yours." consideration for the child's feelings, desires and needs; Example: Al Numan(r.a.) reported that the Messenger(PBUH) of Allah said, "Treat your children equally, treat your children equally, treat your children equally" (Ahmad, Ibn Haban, and the Sunan). interest in the child's daily activities; respect for the child's points of view; expression of parental pride in the child's accomplishments; and support and encouragement during times of stress in the child's life. The advantages of high levels of nurturance in fostering social development have been confirmed again and again in studies of children. These advantages begin in infancy, when maternal nurturance facilitates a secure attachment which, in turn, can indicate social competence, and continue throughout childhood. High levels of nurturance in child rearing virtually assure more positive adult-child interactions than negative ones in the day-to-day operations of family life. This, in turn, predisposes the child to return love to the parent and to enjoy spending time with the parent, thus increasing the possibilities of significant parental influence throughout childhood. Parental nurturance also motivates the child to please the parent by striving to live up to parental expectations and helps to keep the child from hurting or disappointing the loved parent. Because children more readily identify with nurturant than nonnurturant models, the children of nurturing parents are more likely to incorporate parental values, such as considerateness and fairness in interpersonal relations, into their own lifestyle. One would also expect these children to resist peer group values that are clearly different from family values. If there is a downside to high levels of nurturance in child rearing, it is the risk that nurturant parents might be more lax than other parents in challenging their children to measure up to developmentally appropriate standards for behavior. This risk would appear to be reduced, however, by the authoritative parents' inclination to combine moderate levels of parental control with nurturance. The case of moderate control Nurturant parents who maintain at least a moderate level of control over their child do not give up their right to set behavioral standards for the child and to convey the importance of compliance with those standards. Give the reasons behind the rules To facilitate compliance, and as a courtesy to the child, authoritative parents offer reasons and explanations for the demands placed on their children. Evidence suggests that such a practice increases the child's understanding of rules and regulations, eventually making it possible for the child to monitor his or her behavior in the absence of the parent. Use positive enforcers Parents who use authoritative child rearing practices often use positive reinforcers, such as praise, approval, and rewards, to increase the child's compliance with behavioral standards. The success of positive social reinforcement in producing desirable behavior is legendary. A parent's positive response to good behavior may be the most powerful tool the parent has for increasing child compliance and decreasing the need for disciplinary action. When misbehavior does occur and discipline is deemed necessary, authoritative parents show a preference for "rational-inductive discipline," in which both sides of an issue are stated and a just solution is sought. These parents also prefer "consequence-oriented discipline" in which children are expected to make up for their wrongdoing. Martin Hoffman points out that this disciplinary strategy has the advantage of focusing the child's attention on the plight of the victim rather than on the child's plight at the hands of an angry parent. Avoid harsh physical punishment The Prophet said: The best of you will never use force to deal with their families (Abu Dawud) Finally, authoritative parents try to avoid the more extreme forms of punishment in rearing their children. They do not favor harsh physical punishment or put-downs, such as ridicule or negative social comparison, which attack the child's sense of personal worth. Although the harsher forms of punishment can be effective in the short run, they often generate resentment and hostility that carry over to the school and peer group, reducing the child's effectiveness in these settings. In parenting, as in other endeavors, nothing works all of the time. It is safe to say, however, that authoritative parenting works better than most other parenting styles in facilitating the development of social competence in children at home and in the peer group. High levels of nurturance combined with moderate levels of control help adults be responsible child rearing agents for their children and help children become mature, competent members of society. The children of authoritative parents should enjoy more than their share of success in the peer group. Taken from soundvision Courtesy: www.everymuslim.net |

| Islam › Story: The Best Career (mother): by ashson(op): 10:27pm On May 02, 2013 |
Story: The Best Career (Mother): A woman named Amina renewing her driver's license at the Transport office was asked by the clerk to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain as how to classify herself. "What I mean is," explained the clerk, "do you have a job, or are you just a housewife / mother?" "Of course I have a job," snapped Emily. "I'm a Mother." "We don't list 'Mother' as an occupation ... 'housewife' covers it," said the clerk emphatically. I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation, this time at our local police station. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised, efficient and possessed of a high sounding title like, "Official Interrogator" or "Town Registrar." "What is your occupation?" she probed. What made me say it, I do not know ... The words simply popped out. "I'm a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations." The clerk paused, pen frozen in midair, and looked up as though she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly, emphasizing the most significant words. Then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire! "Might I ask," said the clerk with new interest, "just what you do in your field?" Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heard myself reply, "I have a continuing program of research, (which mother doesn't), in the laboratory and in the field, (normally I would have said indoors and out). I'm working for my Masters, (the whole bloody family), and already have four credits, (all daughters). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities, (any mother care to disagree?) and I often work 14 hours a day, (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money." There was an increasing note of respect in the girl's voice as she completed the form, stood up and personally ushered me to the door. When I got home, buoyed up by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants - ages 10, 7 and 3. Upstairs, I could hear our new experimental model, (a 6 month old baby), in the child development program, testing out a new vocal pattern. I felt I had triumphed over bureaucracy! And I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable to mankind than "just another Mother." Motherhood ... What a glorious career! Especially when there's a title on the door. Does this make grandmothers "Senior Research Associates in the field of Child Development and Human Relations", and great grandmothers "Executive Senior Research Associates"? I think so! I also think it makes Aunts "Associate Research Assistants". Be proud to be a mother. As our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has said, "Paradise lies under the feet of a mother." 'Raising children properly' requires stay-at- home parent. When you're raising children, you don't both go off to work and leave children for somebody else to rise. |
| Islam › Benefits Of Marrying A Virgin by ashson(op): 10:08pm On May 02, 2013 |
Benefits Of Marrying A Virgin It is also recommended that she be a virgin because a virgin is more loving towards her husband. Furthermore, she would safeguard the rights of her husband more and be more pleasant to him. In a hadeeth, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said to Jaabir (razi Allahu anhu): ... “Why didn’t you marry a virgin, so you may play with her and she may play with you (and you may make her laugh and she may make you laugh)?” [Bukhaaree&Muslim] Thus, the Shariah encourages the marriage of virgins. As far as those who have been married before and become single (either because she got divorced or became widowed) and those who are not virgins, then they are not pleased with little because they have already experienced men as opposed to the virgins. Thus, virgins are pleased more easier than those who are not virgins. [Taken from"The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) At Home"by Shaykh Muhammad Moosaa Nasr, p.14] |
