Sammy07:The NAF is presently running Operation Rattle Snake 3 against Boko Haram and ISWAP, and they have recorded massive success so far. Their fighting bandits does not mean they are also not fighting Boko Haram and other terrorist elements. |
If you check the comments in the OP, you will find Yorubas, Igbos, and Hausas agreeing on a common good cause. That is how the country should be. Now, no one cares if she is Igbo. All a good Nigerian sees is a selfless woman. Even before 7am, Mrs Obiagelli was already waiting for her pupils, all of whom I am sure are Northerners (and mostly Muslims). She didn't care for her own life or for inordinate pecuniary gains. As far as she is concerned, those pupils are her children. Nothing like tribe or ethnicity here. Just pure humanity. |
Cakephp:Overall, the World Health Organization says condoms have a 2% failure rate when used perfectly and consistently. https://www.webmd.com/sex/birth-control/news/20120224/condom-misuse-common As you can see from the above link, condoms are highly effective, but they can fail to prevent STDs or pregnancy, even when used consistently and correctly. The failure rate is low, but there is a failure rate, and those who are accounted for in the 2% might have contracted HIV even while using condoms correctly and consistently. The only practice that is 100% safe against contracting HIV through sex is abstinence. |
belzieee:No. If there is HIV in her saliva, the concentration would be too low to pose a threat to you. |
Onozboy:This is not set in stone. What determines how long HIV survives outside the body is what type of fluid we are talking about here. Concentration of HIV vary from fluid to fluid. For instance, there is higher concentration of HIV in semen than in vaginal fluid, and blood seems to carry the day when it comes to HIV concentration. And the rule is that the higher the HIV concentration, the longer it would take to reduce the quantity to a negligible amount. So, HIV could live for up to 10 days even in dried blood, at least according to some studies. And they may live longer when unexposed to the element. For instance, blood in a syringe can keep HIV alive longer than 10 days. |
Cakephp:This means that it can happen. So, you shouldn't have written that the guy was passing wrong information. Although very unlikely, one can contract HIV through kissing if both partners have sores in their mouths. The saliva makes the mouth very hostile to HIV, but for there to be a case regarding kissing and HIV infection, it means it can happen, maybe once in every 1 million kisses. But, it can happen. And as for condom being 100% effective, that is a big lie. Only abstinence is 100% effective. No matter how hard you try to correctly use condoms, it is still not 100% effective in preventing HIV. It is not even 100% effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy, let alone a virus. |
akpoguma1989:The risk of HIV is not dependent on whether you come in contact with a vaginal fluid. It depends on so many other factors: 1. Is your partner infected? 2. Was HIV present in large quantity in the fluid that you came in contact with? 3. How long after the condom was exposed to air did it come in contact with the burst boil? HIV does not remain active for long outside the body. Once exposed to air or water for a short while, HIV becomes inactive and incapable of infecting. So, the secret is in the quantity of HIV in the fluid, not the fluid itself. A fluid with a negligible quantity of HIV cannot infect you. That is why you cannot get HIV from kissing. Because even though HIV might be present in saliva, it is in negligible quantity, and so cannot cause an infection. HIV can become inactive (regarded as dead) when exposed to the element, especially water. When exposed to air, many of the viruses may die, and the remaining quantity would be unable to infect. And the rule is that the higher the quantity of HIV in fluid, the longer it would take to reduce their quantity to a negligible quantity. So, supposing your partner is HIV positive and has been taking her medications diligently, it is very possible that the HIV in her fluid would be negligible, in which case they would be unable to infect you. But supposing she is HIV possible and has never had medications, it would still depend on the quantity of HIV in the fluid that came in contact with your burst boil. If the quantity is high, your risk of contracting HIV is also very high. All in all, the only way to be sure is to see a doctor. HIV is still largely mysterious, and there are still many myths passed around as facts even by medical practitioners. |
tobicool:Biafra is not an Igbo word. It is believed that a region known as Biafra once existed in what is now present day Cameroon. But the Republic of Biafra was named after the Bight of Biafra, an open bay. If you check a map of Africa, just below Nigeria (perspectively), you will find the Bight of Biafra. It was this bight that Ojukwu named Biafra after. |
missimelda01:It is better than 19,800. |
luminouz: ![]() |
luminouz: ![]() Anyway, I did get another master's degree from that same university, although from a different faculty. |
Kingrefreshed:Even Boko Haram make statements freely, and may move around as long as no one can identify them. Let these cowards come together that day and identify as IPOB, and see what would happen to them. Remember that they are no longer just a mere group of miscreants. They are now terrorists. So, they shouldn't expect light punishment such as swimming in potor potor. They should expect something worse should they fail to use their brains. |
Citytrend:They are just chest beating as usual. You ought to already know. For instance, they said more than this before the Python danced in their land. They were so emboldened then that they said any soldier who dared to come into their land would not leave in one piece. They even formed their own state security department, and said they would enter Lagos and nothing would happen. They didn't know that a pig can never pose any sort of problem to a Python. When Buhari returned from London, he asked the Python to dance for a little while. Just small dance, and Kanu went into exile, and has never been seen in the country since then. Now, they are no longer just a band of hooligans. They are now a terrorist group before the law. So, they should rather use their brains or the soldiers might just use them for target practice. |
Kingrefreshed:Yes, we all remembered what happened. Python danced small, and Kanu ran away like the coward that he is. His followers were proscribed, and they all went into hiding. The unfortunate ones who refused to use their brains were made to swim in potor potor water. |
Bukasint:The average Nigerian lecturer is misinformed about his/her position. There was a time, during my master's, when I went to see my supervisor. I met a PhD student/lecturer there who was initially respectful to me until he knew I was a master's student. He began to be rude, and impatient. I felt like giving him a piece of my mind but something just told me to let it go. Because the idiot could somehow find a way to cause a delay in my project. After convocation, I made sure to look for the arrogant dolt. He was taking a lecture. I called him out and gave him a piece of my mind. I let him understand that the university belonged to the students, and not the lecturers, and that without students and the money the students pay, the lecturers will be absolutely nothing. The students were cheering me, and it was obvious that he wasn't a lecturer that people liked. |
This man is obviously incompetent. They keep mentioning security breach but are yet to tell us what security had been breached by these Okada operators. As for ensuring safety, banning Okada should not even be an option. All the government needs to do is to enforce all the traffic laws to the letter. Taking people's source of livelihood from them without providing an alternative is nothing short of madness. |
I don't trust him to perform. He is a good player but he is not a player for big moments or a big club like Manchester United. So, signing with clubs like Norwich City, for instance, would have been better for him. But with Manchester United, I don't see him performing at all. |
ProudDick:The Kano State Police Command on Thursday said it had defused “a high-calibre bomb” discovered at the Dawanau International Grains market, Kano. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/173175-police-defuse-bomb-kano-grains-market.html Did you see them in any anti bomb gear?So, you expect the Anti-Bomb Squad to hang around for a picture after their job had been done? How is that even a bomb to you?That is an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). It is homemade. Hence, it might look crude. It is not commercially made. So, don't expect it to look like a grenade or a bomb produced to be dropped from a warplane. |
ProudDick:What do you mean by ordinary police? This is not the first time the police have defused bombs. Even the NSCDC up North have had their own share of defusing bombs. Every security outfit serving in the North have active Anti-Bomb Squads. |
miketayo:How can you tell that Boko Haram truly kill for Allah, and not for personal reasons? Remember that their leader, Mohammed Yusuf, was extrajudicially executed by the police. And they obviously began their terrorism to avenge Yusuf's death and to make people pay for their mosque that was pulled down. That does not sound like killing in the name of Allah. Hitler's antisemitism is hard to explain. But the fact remains that Christians began the antisemitism. Christians began the hatred against the Jews because they regarded the Jews as Christ-killers Hitler might have had personal hatred for the Jews, but he covered it up with the antisemitism that was rife in the world at that time. We may never truly know why Hitler hunted down millions of Jews, but we may also never know the true intentions of Boko Haram. All we know is that they are claiming to be Muslims who hate Western education and influences. What if Boko Haram is a political tool which is using religion as a front to hide its track? Just like Hitler might have used Christian antisemitism to hide his own personal hatred for the Jews. |
Caregiver053:Jesus Christ was neither a Christian nor a Muslim. He was irreligious. His contemporaries think of Him more as a teacher, a wise man, a preacher who went from town to town preaching and performing miracles. If anyone wants to give Him a religion, then it would be safe to say He tried at least to follow the ways of Judaism. He also got into trouble with the supposed custodians of the law because Jesus Christ had very liberal views. There is no how anyone can say Jesus Christ was a Muslim or Christian. The word Christianity existed before the word Islam and yet the word Christianity did not exist until sometime after Jesus's death. So, how could Jesus Christ or the other prophets have been Muslims? |
ganja06:Why is this question necessary? |
Ejide is not a bad goalkeeper. What caused him to begin to play second fiddle to Enyeama was his lack of composure. While a very young Enyeama was full of confidence even against England that had the likes of Beckham, Scholes, Owen, and Heskey, Ejide could not control his nerves against even lowly rated teams. The same problem he had is what Akpeyi is having presently in the Super Eagles. Akpeyi is not a bad goalkeeper too, but his constant stage fright has caused him to play second fiddle to a number of goalkeepers such as Vanzekin (in 2004 U-20 World Cup and 2008 Olympics) and to a much younger and inexperienced Uzoho (2018 World Cup). I am sorry to say that Ejide has had his chances, and failed to take any of them. Enyeama saw his chance and took it with both hands and history will remember him as one of the greatest goalkeepers out of Africa. |

nervorum:A prophet of God my foot!!! None of them saw the coming of Boko Haram nor its end. None of them has heard anything from God on how to put an end to this madness. This is not the first time Oyedepo is laying a curse, and yet Boko Haram remains relentless. The first time he laid a curse, Boko Haram got even deadlier after that. When prophesies and curses from a supposed man of God fails so consistently, then you don't need anyone to tell you that he is a false prophet. In the days of old, it was one major prophet at a time, and kings were scared of them. But today's so-called prophets command no respect except in the eyes of their followers. |
YoungLionken:Very irrelavent list. The news article states that this man was offered freedom but refused. This shows that he didn't accept Islam cowardly. He didn't accept Islam to get his freedom. He accepted for reasons not stated in the article. If he dies for his belief, then your list will be meaningless because he would be a martyr just like the ones you listed above. |
Abusadiq01:There is no beauty in forcing people to convert to Islam. Even your Quran states that there should be no compulsion in religion. So, this cannot be the beauty of Islam except Islam is indeed a religion of violence (a belief I don't subscribe to). |
