Annihilating the Anopheles mosquitoes population by making them sterile will alter the natural ecosystem. They serve a purpose in the ecosystem but trust Nigerians to destroy any other living creature perceived to be an "enemy". Live and let's live 2 Likes |

Autos / Re: Why Are Most "Okadas" Without Mirrors Anylonger? by billionman: 11:48pm On Nov 25, 2018 |
They remove them because they don't feel comfortable with the side mirrors and also because of easy manoeuvrability in traffic. |

Health / Haemoglobin Genotype And Somethings You Need To Know by billionman: 9:30pm On Nov 17, 2018 |
Earlier on there was a post concerning haemoglobin genotype and it was observed that there is need for some clarification. Refer to this link https://www.nairaland.com/4850814/genotype-combinations-possible-results-educate Firstly, what we commonly refer to as “genotype” in terms of AA, AS, etc is correctly referred to as “Haemoglobin Genotype” shortly written as Hb Genotype. Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. Hb genotype is the genetic makeup of the haemoglobin component of the red blood cells. The normal hb gene is hbA. There are over a hundred abnormal hb variants including S, C, D, F, H, etc. The common ones are the S and C variants. F is found in newborns but could be found in adults and children above 9 months in some disease conditions. Biologically, an offspring can only inherit one of the hb gene from a parent. That is, if a father is AA and the mother AS, the child can inherit one A from the father and either an A or an S from the mother resulting to either AA or AS hb genotype. Hb genotype should not be confused with blood group which is a different subject entirely. Possible inheritance pattern from the common hb gene A, S and C combinations (AA, AS, AC, SS, SC and CC) are as follows: AA x AA = AA AA AA AA AA x AS = AA AA AS AS AA x AC = AA AA AC AC AA x SS = AS AS AS AS AA x SC = AS AS AC AC AA x CC = AC AC AC AC AS x AS = AA AS AS SS AS x AC = AA AC AS SC AS x SS = AS AS SS SS AS x SC = AS AC SS SC AS x CC = AC AC SC SC AC x AC = AA AC AC CC AC x SS = AS AS SC SC AC x SC = AS AC SC CC AC x CC = AC AC CC CC SS x SS = SS SS SS SS SC x SC = SS SC SC CC SC × CC = SC SC CC CC CC x CC = CC CC CC CC NB: These crosslinks and possible offsprings are probability per birth. So there is a 25% probability of giving birth to any of the four possible offsprings per crosslink. So a couple who are both AS can give birth to four children and all of them will be AA or AS or SS. The C gene is the less common of these common hb genes. It is not a recent type of hb gene. It has clinical similarities with the S gene. It can easily be confused with S gene in the laboratory, but with a proper QC in place, a Medical Laboratory Scientist can give the right result. NB: Though hb genotype can help determine paternity to some extent, paternity testing is better done using DNA analysis. Especially in this era of growing cases of paternity fraud. I advocate putting an end to Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) by ensuring that carriers of the SCD gene (S and C) don’t marry fellow carriers. There are different schools of thoughts to this though. There is currently no cure to correct abnormal hb gene yet. There are gene therapy researches currently ongoing. The best form of management we have now is bone marrow transplant which could be expensive and not readily available to the ordinary citizen. 3 Likes |
Health / Re: Genotype Combinations And Possible Results. Educate Yourselves by billionman: 5:48pm On Nov 17, 2018 |
Reading through all the comments, I can see a lot of us here don't actually understand the basic inheritance pattern of the hb genotype. I'll try to put up a simple-to-understand writeup here in my spare time. |

ChiefAzubuike: I don't share that sentiment. There are other good brand of cars. It depends on what you want. But comparing a benz to a jap all things been equal is not being objective. 3 Likes |

ChiefAzubuike: I thought this your sentiment will end in the other thread. Why expose your ignorance continuously? What will you say about someone who just bought a highlander but would rather prefer his old E class to the highlander? Highlander is now for wifey while he is planning to upgrade to an ML. Once you taste of the Benz savour, you would rarely be pleased by any Japanese brand. 2 Likes |

ChiefAzubuike: Your hatred for anything Benz will not help your sense of judgement. Quote one comment above where someone "insulted" Benz. Moreover, the writeup ain't deep and comprehensive enough. E.g A W202 or W203 C180 will save more fuel than a regular 3.0 ltr Japanese car all things been equal. 4 Likes |
Autos / Re: Why The Sudden Madness For Benz Cars? by billionman: 8:46pm On Nov 14, 2018 |
ChiefAzubuike: Interestingly, I had to listen to the song after I saw you quoting it repeatedly. You are promoting the song on his behalf and you seem to love the song. May God bless your hustle so you can own one of these your favourite cars someday. As for us who choose the Mercedes over your favorites, let us be cos we know better. To each his own. As for your childish obstinate rants here, you have only succeeded in letting nairaland know how shallow minded "ChiefAzubuike" is. |

ChiefAzubuike: I've been reading all comments on this thread from its inception. What you have succeeded in doing with this thread of yours is to expose your abysmal ignorance and lack of class. Class not in terms of cars or whatever but in the way you respond to comments here as you continue to keep us amazed at the extent of your ignorance. Just to add to the topic, Mercedes is the only car brand I know that has something for everyone irrespective of your pocket size and need with vehicles ranging from small economy cars like the A class to super cars and even cargo trucks and trailer heads. 7 Likes |

I sighted a low flying aircraft around Ijebu Ode axis this evening and called the attention of few people around to it. It was flying very low and we were just looking. It suddenly changed trajectory and returned back to Lagos. I suspect this was it. I told the people to watch out that this will be on the news. Here we are. Thank God for safety. 2 Likes |
