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

That's what they use in Benin. Audi, VW and Benz.

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.

You're obviously the sentimental one here. One who believe there is no other brand in the world other than Benz.

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.

We should be comparing Benz to Toyota sef. Check out their latest Highlander and rav 4. Its a beauty to behold. Even the venza series is NP walkover. Forget about Benz bro. There are cars. Moto dey. E nwere ụgbọala

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.

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.

Stop cementing your stupidity duckling. You should be listening to "if we no buy the Benz wetin we gain" instead of showing the whole world your stupidity.

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.

It's not a crime to be ignorant about something but a continuous display of ignorance when knowledge abounds everywhere around you is sheer folly.

You know nothing. The brain in your head needs to be replaced with noodles.

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.

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.

Travel / Re: Abuja - Dubai Trip Advice Needed by billionman: 4:15pm On Oct 21, 2018
NwaAmaikpe:
shocked


I'd advice you suspend the trip and reschedule it when you'd have saved enough.

As a first-timer to Dubai, I'd also advice you fly Emirates,.
It's quite hassle-free and a good deal for kids plus in 7hours you're home and dry.
Family comfort supercedes whatever "apririko" price difference other airlines offer.

Considering your budget too.
Unless you want to stay in shabby hotels like Gold Plaza in Deira or in Bur Dubai and be using the metro lines or trekking with your family of 3 all through your stay there as the cost of cabs may make you less enthusiastic about exploring fun places.

I also haven't mentioned your tours? Dubai will not be memorable if you can't at least make tours of the Safari, visit the Burj Khalifa, or a boat cruise in the Marina.

You can't afford a quality memorable trip at this time of the year, unless you don't mind window shopping around the Dubai Mall with your family looking like a bunch of almajiris.
Try it some other time when you're ready.
Good luck with that man.

Maybe mods can help you reach out to others who successfully made the trip on a very low budget.

I use to think you're just a clown. Obviously, you've got some good stuff in your mind. Kudos bro. Love your style.

As for the OP, whatever is what doing at all is worth doing well. YOLO
