The husband just about sounds like the personification of a nasty ogre

Its low-lifes like this that give men a bad name.

OK so how about an early dinner for a hungry man.

  i own a PS2, not thinkn of buying a PS3 until it'sd hacked to play pirated CDs.

eGuerrilla:
I understand there is an element of partisan politics at play here, but this is not the central issue.
Much as I do not agree, I accept the ruling party is quite within its right to indulge in this pastime.

The question is where you draw the line with this celebration of mediocrity.
Why must the FGN continue to appoint undistinguished individuals as Nigeria's highest ranking diplomats (abroad)?

Are you telling me the PDP does not have more suitable candidates in its ranks?

Goes to show how sincere the ruling party is about transforming the country.

georgee:
YES!!!!
PES 2012 and FIFA 12 are new games. i own a PS2, not thinkn of buying a PS3 until it'sd hacked to play pirated CDs. i cant be buying game Cds for 5k, 10k , 15k,

Somebody is stuck in 2005.

Viju Milk Chocolate flavor isn't bad at all. I enjoy drinking that alot.

I nominate Firearm and Wendybaby

Lets hope that diners here will have their meals served on time and not be delayed by all that hanky panky that plagued the last kitchen

Inherited memories aka cell memories and organ transplants. These issues lie at the boundaries of modern science. It is amazing what lies ahead to be discovered.

Yeah I’ve been playing solo, the co-op mode is mighty fun but no broadband at home. The most I can hope for is split screen but that’s on weekends when I’ll have the time to invite a buddie over. It is gaming season, man, I wonder how I’ll even manage to get anything done what will all the offerings available. U3 is next on my list but there is NO way I’ll finish that anytime soon. U2 took me many months to complete and I don’t see U3 being any different in that regard.

[quote author=Natasha,, link=topic=807787.msg9673836#msg9673836 date=1322773743]hmmmmmmmm all right than btw we can digress I want to know more. I don't agree with you on the part of the soul seprating from the body being quick for some and not for others, how is that so? considering the fact that the soul is not flesh,  it's the flesh that has strong affiliations for earthly things [/quote]Warning; we digress here and some will argue that this discussion should be taken to the religion section

Earlier I said that the process of separation of the soul from the body will happen differently for everyone. It all depends on the spiritual condition of the soul i.e. how the person has lived his/her life. Everything is guided by Natural Law. The soul which is the covering of our innermost core the spirit is “conditioned” depending on how we live our lives. It assumes a luminous and, if you want, heavenly appearance if the individual concerned has lived a life directed by goodness or righteousness and upon death will be quickly drawn to places in the hereafter that are of a similar nature. On the other hand the soul of the individual who has lived a bad life or acquired a marked earthly propensity will assume a dense heavy appearance/consistency. When death occurs for such a soul the transition tend to be longer because he has tied himself (so to speak) to the earth. When his soul does eventually leaves his body after perhaps a prolonged death struggle it will be drawn to places in the hereafter that are of a similar nature with his soul.

Back to topic

Currently the medical consensus is that a person is said to have died when brain death occurs that is, when the brain suffers irreversible damage and shows no signs of electrical activity. The other body parts may still be kept “alive” through technology i.e. ventilators and other life support equipment even when brain death occurs but only for limited time. Science does not take into consideration anything to do with the soul because it is outside its scope and so relies on brain death concept for organ transplants. What may be in reality happening is that someone who is not really “dead” but is brain dead may be subjected to more pains during the transplant!

I am not with all this saying that organ transplants should be stopped. But people who sign up for this should be made aware that there is more to this than meets the eye, they should not think that death is a uniform immediate occurrence for everyone when the time comes!

I nominate tboy1. His thread on BF3 was quite interesting

Seems I'm the only one here who plays the spec ops.

Anyways I made it to level 23 last night in the Underground map. My current rank is Lieutenant II.
So far I've been using claymores to take out Juggernauts, the only problem is that this method takes a long time. You have to set the claymores in the path of the 'nauts but they mustn't see it otherwise they shoot it up before they get there. I can't wait to unlock the Barretta .50 Cal Sniper rifle, I have since MW2 found it be an effective weapon against Juggernauts but it can only be unlocked at level 28

^^

Tell them they should see an eye doctor ASAP.

Accepting his past mistakes makes gowon greater than many other so-called founding fathers of nigeria who we idolize as saints, but in the end, they are humans and prone to mistakes necessitated by circumstances. pple like awolowo, tafawa balewa, ahmadu bello, ojukwu, azikwe , although great, and did a lot of great things for the country, yet they were the architect of the problem of ethnic distrust we have in the country today, and sadly, they (until death) would never admit to this. how can the country correct the mistake of the past, if we never even admit to it. on this, i'd say - thumbs up gowon

I just had to start this thread being the Spec Ops junkie that I am. I’ve had the MW3 for about one week now and I’ve only made it to level 22 in the survival mode.

How are other NLanders faring? What strategy do you use and how do you guys take out those hell-awful riot shield juggernauts?

Please share any of your Spec ops related experiences here.

haha. na wah. do we need to borrow even to build rails? ok! GEJ is endearing Nigerians to patronize "made in 9ja". why go far away to loan when we have billionaire$ in this country? according to forbes Dangote is worth over $2billion. $5m to help his beloved country that made him wont cut his sleeves.
recently, a top woman bought an estate in europe worth $20m. cant we seek loan from her? as well as 6 other nigerians who made the billionaire$ list this year
at least the interest rate will reduce or they may afterall forfeit the money as a give-back to fadaland.

Post of the month.

Jesus

What kind of question is this? Use my body for kini ?

Where was science when my mother was putting me to bed in pains?
Where was science when i had to start school using chalk and slate ? sometimes i ate chalk in class sef
Where was science when I left school after studying Engineering and was looking for Job all over? until help came my way
Where was science when Niger Republic commissioned a refinery when an Agbaya Nigeria is still subsidizing ?  
Where was Science when all our leaders travel abroad to treat headache, constipation, pimples, tucks and cramps.?
Where was science when a one time minister of Mines & science in Nigeria said we have coke and fanta as mineral resources?

I can go on and oh.
Please tell Mr Science that my body will not be available for Him and if he dares touches me, I will haunt him die!!!!!

Yours has to be the weakest rebuttal ever to the topic under discussion  

Was it not science that guided the doctor or midwife when you were born?
Was it not science that provided the foundation for the engineering degree you got?
Is the refining process at the refinery in Niger Republic not running on scientific principles?
Didn't science provide the means for your leaders to travel abroad and eventual cure/solution for headaches constipation and cramps?

If it was based entirely on the points you raised then Mr Science completely owns you  

[quote author=Natasha,, link=topic=807787.msg9663393#msg9663393 date=1322659838]hmm Baws wetin na?   why are you confusing me?  
when you're dead, you're dead, that why you're dead   true the organs are needed alive but it doesn't change the fact that you're dead at least its medically confirmed. [b]How long does it take for the soul to leave the body?  what ever happens to your body here or earth cannot affect your soul, If it can are you then saying those who were burnt alive their soul died with them? or their soul didn't leave their body?

BTW are you a doc or something?   [/b][/quote]The time it takes for the soul to leave the body varies for each individual. Generally for the soul that is without propensities for the earthly the separation from the body is quick, it has nothing holding it back. That is not so for the soul with strong affiliations or propensities for earthly things. But we are digressing from the topic at hand.

True, organ donation is based on the concept of brain death - a condition that was agreed upon in 1981 by the Commission to Study Medical Issues in the US. But I think that brain death may not be the time when the soul leaves the body for everyone. Unfortunately I cannot present the reasons for my opinion at this time.

At this point I must state that I respect the wishes of those who have made the decision to leave their bodies for science when they die. For me I prefer my remains to be left alone.

Our discussion is turning towards the philosophical

I, like any sane-headed individual, am for the progress of science and medicine but as it stands now I am not convinced that the gains from organ donation (where the donor is deceased) is wholesome. By wholesome I mean both the recipient and the donor are not shortchanged. Just because I want to help some other person doesn't mean I should expose myself to undue (and in most cases undisclosed) harm. The body parts that are needed for transplant are needed alive yet I must be dead first then add to this the uncertainty of the true moment of death and you see the horror that many unknowingly sign up for.

musKeeto:
NO, the crux of the issue here is 'When you DIE, would you want your body to be used for science'? Not dying, or deading. JUST DEAD/TH

You appear to be letting semantics cloud the issue. Give the matter some more thought and you will see that the question requires more than a simple yes or no answer.

^
The crux of the matter here is the time in which "real" death is said to occur, i.e the time when the soul has completely left the body. If after many weeks or months the remains of a dead person is eaten by dogs or even the process of decomposition sets such happenings will(hopefully) be immune  to the soul because that connection between body and soul no longer exists. But should the dying person still be alive when such things happen then you can be sure that the pains and effects will be felt by him/her!!!

Many of us imagine that the process of death is immediate and instant but that is not always the case. And this fact poses a serious problem for 
organ donations. Who can say for sure that death has completely set in and when exactly should the organs - that are needed alive!!- be taken from the body and given to those in need? Talk about grey areas.

Thanatology is a relatively new science and many of us will do well to read up about it.

musKeeto:
So if your innards are eaten by dogs, how will that affect you after you're dead.

When I die, I lose possession of my body. I won't even get to attend my burial.
So while it's mine, if it could do something after Im gone, wth? Feel free scientists.

No one wishes for a violent passing but can one say with 100% certainty that the dying person is unaffected by a such a death?

A deep question there as it appears we are discussing matters that require deep knowledge.

[quote author=Natasha,, link=topic=807787.msg9650445#msg9650445 date=1322505031]@ Highland and Bawss1 what exactly will you do with your body when you die? isn't it better to donate to science? like donating body parts to help someone else live longer, it could be you wanting an organ, so many people are in need of body parts for surgery but most times there's none instead of letting your body to rotten in the grave isn't it better to donate it? to make someone else live longer or for more reaserch to be carried out and more solutions to unsolved problems? [/b][/color][/quote]It all sounds noble to leave one’s remains to science or donate it to those in need of organ replacements. A well intentioned move no doubt but like I said earlier the entire process of death is not fully understood by science and so there are many questionable and ethical practices involved. If you are of the view that during death the union between soul and body is severed then certain questions arise in the case of organ donation. Who decides when death has occurred especially because not everyone (even scientists!!!) agrees when "death" occurs. Does it happen when the heart and lungs stop, when the entire brain ceases to have activity, or just when the "higher functions" stop? This is an important issue, because no one wants to take organs from someone still "alive," but waiting for "whole brain death" can leave many organs unusable.¹

Another question that no one asks is whether this has any effect in the aforementioned process of severing of the union between body and soul. We are seeing this process only from this side but is the soul which may have not transitioned completely be affected by all of this meddling? It is for these reasons and others that I prefer that when the times comes for me I should be left to die in peace -and not harvested for my body parts.

Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, who gave the indication, yesterday, in Awka said that Odumegwu-Ojukwu listed where his body would be taken to before burial.

I didn't see this earlier.

To each his own.

Of what use is this tour to the soul of the man who has passed away? We should do away with things that have no bearing in the real scheme of things - indeed that might even be an obstacle in the path of the one concerned.

registry weddings are for naija women what prenups are for western men

its all good to be starry eyed and in love and all, but if it all goes south - you are screwed without those documents

check most of these society big men who grew up poor, esp those military administrators - their official wives are the second wives, who are married in the registry. the first wives are fked over

without a registry wedding, if the man decides to take a second wife, nothing for u. she is the LEGAL wife. never mind if she is a thieving biatch

anyway its like this in cold harsh terms

women should push for the registry wedding , men should push to avoid it

Why would I want to such a thing? Registry wedding all the way!
