NEWS FLASH: AREWA MEN ARE SCUM By Mu’awiyyah Yusuf Muye

An arewa man is arguably the most difficult husband any woman can ever have. Doesn’t mean they aren’t great husbands, being difficult doesn’t equate to being a total failure, This write up is not intended to bash arewa men in general or stereotype them either, as ofcourse there are exceptions, but an average arewa man to be honest doesn’t give his wife her rights fully.
That’s why it bothers me so much when I see all these clueless women who tag themselves feminists, because to be honest, most of the time, they always miss the point, If only they fight for what they are supposed to fight for. All they go about doing is fighting for the impossible. A woman is allowed to fight for her right in Islam, feminism in my opinion is actually making them deviate from that. It’s another thing entirely.

It’s so funny that ever since the incident of The girl that murdered her husband, a lot of arewa men have been having a field day in bashing the women, the women might be all we say they are and more but it doesn’t exonerate the men either. We have our own issues. Terrible issues. The matrimonial problems in our society is major. Are some people making effort towards addressing them? Yes, are we collectively and seriously making effort to address them? No.

The problem is a general issue, it has no gender barrier. As a matter of fact, I think the women issues stem from that of men because if men do what they are supposed to do properly, there will be less problems in marriages.

This latest episode actually exposed the feminists who always shout and make it seem like it only happens to a particular gender, it has exposed their hypocrisy but it has also provided us an avenue to address these issues.

An average cheating arewa man act as if cheating is his birthright, it’s so rampant it’s sickening and disgusting. It begs the question, do some of us even know why we get married at all? I doubt. Marriage has been dumb down. If only we put half the effort we put in weddings in our marriages, our society would’ve been better off. We get married in order for us to be able to stay away from that which is forbidden to us, but it seems the reverse is the case these days.

Arewa men use the fact that Islam grant them the right to marry four wives as an excuse to cheat on their wives, until we understand that cheating on your wives isn’t the same as marrying more than one wife, then there will continue to be a problem. I believe there are proper ways to go about seeking a second, third or fourth wife in Islam, not by womanising or dating girls up and down when you have a wife at home.

As an arewa woman or any woman for that matter, you have every right to question your husband when he cheats on you, you don’t have the right to stop him from marrying another, you can’t, even if you try to, if you try to, there will be a problem, it can spiral to Maryam and Bilyamin kind of scenerio.

There should be a line between cheating and marrying another wife. And as a wife, if you know your husband is cheating and confronts him about it, and he gives you the excuse of him having the right to marry four, then take it upon yourself to make him do the right thing by making him follow the right channels, if possible, follow him to the girls house and help him ask for her hand in marriage, Get elders involved, give him conditions, he either marry her legally or you won’t accept cheating.

Yes, it’s not easily done as said but at the end of the day, put it at the back of your mind, worse come to worse, he is still going to marry her, you can’t stop it so why not be involved. It’s cheaper to bring her home anyways, if he doesn’t, he is probably spending more on her outside than he is spending on you and your kids.

Second, third or fourth wife isn’t the end of the world, like you arewa women usually say “ba a kai na zata zauna ba” there are some second, third or fourth wives doing better in their marriages than some only wives. Being an only wife doesn’t necessarily mean you will have it better than some second, third or fourth wives. Some are enjoying their marriages than some only wives.

But you know women like being lied to. If a man tells you during courtship that you are the only woman he is ever going to marry, just know that you are about to marry a pathological liar, a sincere man will never promise you that, even if he doesn’t intend to marry another, and a clever woman will never fall for that and will never box a man into promising her that too. God knows why HE said men can marry up to four wives, even with four wives, some still cheat. Even the westerners that deceived themselves that they are against polygamy are secretly polygamous because they cheat. If their laws are changed today, trust me, a lot of them will marry more than one. It’s a hypocritical law, else if people like hugh hefner the owner of playboy mansion can have Many girlfriends and even document his ways without the law catching up with him, then why outlaw the practice.

Even the stars our own slay queens try to model their lives after get cheated on. Beyoncé has been cheated on, Rihanna has been cheated on, Halle Berry has been cheated on, nicki minaj has been cheated on, it then means no matter how beautiful these stars are, they still got cheated on by their spouses, that’s because there is that polygamy in every man. They only need to legalise it for them to explore it better.

It’s common knowledge that an average arewa woman will rather her husband cheats on her with another woman than bring her home as a lawful-wife. In their little minds, as long as they are the only ones in the matrimonial home, they can put up with anything, thereby endangering their own lives by exposing themselves to sexual transmitted diseases.

The way arewa women tolerate their cheating husbands, turn the page and let it be the women cheating and it will be the beginning of World War III.
I doubt any self respectable arewa man will catch his wife cheating and spend any more minute with her. Yes, women are disadvantaged in that aspect as finding a husband as a divorcee is not really fun but if the Men can’t tolerate it, why do the women tolerate it?
Allowing your husband cheat in peace doesn’t make you clever, you are not helpless in that aspect, you just need to be smart in handling it, don’t allow your jealousy and rage take the better part of you in handling it.

I read a lot of opinion from men and women alike who believe if a woman doesn’t want disappointment, she shouldn’t temper with her husband’s phone and read his text massages, and I completely disagree with that.

I believe in marriage, the highest level of trust should be established by both parties, a marriage where there is no trust between both parties in my opinion is to some extent a sad union. You should have confidence in yourself enough that your wife can touch your phone without you having a heart attack. How many men out there can let their wives touch their phones? and then, if you can’t allow your wife go through your phone, it means you can’t go through hers either, which means there is no trust between you. Whenever I say this, people usually laugh and make it seem like I am naive in that aspect because I have never been married, but I believe you don’t need to be married to know right and wrong, it’s common sense. I pray a lot over this, even though I believe it’s something I don’t think I will ever do, I still reason with people that think I am naive and pray for Allah’s guidance. But even if I engage in it, doesn’t make it right. Wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it and right is right even if it’s one person doing it.

Couples shouldn’t have to go through each other’s phone in a probing manner but there should be trust enough for them to touch the phone without either one of them freaking out over it.
It’s true that older generation went through a lot in their marriages without protesting but we shouldn’t expect these slay queens and young bloods to tolerate same thing as long as their protests are legit and done the right way. Although I don’t support their gra gra style of protest, I do believe the men equally need to put their acts together.

Men are the leaders of the matrimonial home while the women are the custodian of it, men will have to lead in doing the right thing before they can be able to assert authority as leaders, Islam has given women their rights in marriages, and men don’t have a choice than to give it to them, even if they don’t fight for it, we often say if there is no justice in the world, there won’t be peace, so how do we expect all to be well if we don’t treat our women right?

Arewa men need to loosen up around their spouses, they need to be romantic to some extent, Islam encourages being mild and romantic towards our spouses, Although I believe the younger generation arewa men are trying to be different in that regard, even they are equally going about it the wrong way, because most of them are doing it the western way, thereby doing it unislamic way.

The issue of marriage most especially in arewa is an issue we need to stand up to look into and address. Our women are not happy in their marriages and sadly, it’s the men that are making them unhappy. Forget about the foolish women, there are million sane and ideal women that aren’t happy in their marriages. AREWA MEN, WAKE UP AND LEAD. Unless we are trying to emulate Satan, this wasn’t how Prophet Muhammad (SAW) led his matrimonial home. The key to a happy marriage even though I believe requires the input of husband and wife, I believe the man should lead the way.

During the depression of the 1930s, Onwurah’s maternal grandfather was a sheet metal worker in Tyneside shipyards. Her mother grew up in poverty in Garth Heads on Newcastle’s quayside. Her father, from Nigeria, was working as a dentist while he studied at Newcastle University Medical School when they met and married in the 1950s.[citation needed]

After Onwurah was born in Wallsend, Newcastle upon Tyne, in 1965, her family moved to Awka, Nigeria, while she was still a baby. Just two years later the Biafra War broke out, bringing famine with it, forcing her mother to bring the children back to Newcastle, while her father stayed on in the Biafran army.[6]

Onwurah graduated from Imperial College London in 1987 with a degree in Electrical Engineering.[7] She worked in hardware and software development, product management, market development and strategy for a variety of mainly private sector companies in a number of different countries – Britain, France, US, Nigeria and Denmark while studying for an MBA at Manchester Business School.[citation needed]

Prior to becoming an MP, Onwurah was Head of Telecoms Technology at OFCOM, with a focus on broadband provision.

How do u ppl want her to indentify with Nigeria.

What is all the bashing abt let her enjoy her braless years pls. Very soon grafity will set in. She has nice breast. Ppl are just jealous

North Korea Proves Your White Male Privilege Is Not Universal
By La Sha

ASSOCIATED PRESS
On the Revocation of White Privilege in North Korea
“That’s what the hell he gets. Good for him!” My mother had uttered those words in her typical matter-of-fact tone one morning as she watched the news. “He” was Michael Fay, an 18-year-old from Ohio who had confessed to vandalizing cars in Singapore, and was subsequently sentence to six lashes from a rattan cane. I was in sixth grade and all I could imagine was how horrible the pain would be. My mother was unmoved at the thought, remarking, “He earned that.”

I thought about my mother’s words a few days ago while watching video of 21-year-old Otto Warmbier, another man from Ohio who last week was convicted of subversion for stealing a propaganda banner in North Korea, and sentenced to 15 years hard labor. Just as in Fay’s case, I was shocked by the severity of the punishment. I’ve tried to imagine spending a decade and a half performing what the North Korean state deems hard labor and I can’t. But I’m not 11 anymore, and now, my mother’s callous reaction to Micahel Fay’s sentence is my reaction to another young white man who went to an Asian country and violated their laws, and learned that the shield his cis white male identity provides here in America is not teflon abroad.

As shocked as I am by the sentence handed down to Warmbier, I am even more shocked that a grown man, an American citizen, would not only voluntarily enter North Korea but also commit what’s been described a “college-style prank.” That kind of reckless gall is an unfortunate side effect of being socialized first as a white boy, and then as a white man in this country. Every economic, academic, legal and social system in this country has for more than three centuries functioned with the implicit purpose of ensuring that white men are the primary benefactors of all privilege. The kind of arrogance bred by that kind of conditioning is pathogenic, causing its host to develop a subconscious yet no less obnoxious perception that the rules do not apply to him, or at least that their application is negotiable.

Headline after headline has highlighted that Otto Warmbier is a student. His LinkedIn profile states that he is majoring Economics with a minor in Global Sustainability and is a Managing Director of an “alternative investment fund.” A man reared in this country who studies the globe as a part of his higher education curriculum must have been at least passingly aware of the notoriously strained relationship between the United States and North Korea. Surely he had read the stories of Jeffrey Fowle and Matthew Miller, other white American men arrested in North Korea for “petty crimes” who were subsequently sentenced to hard labor.

Yeah, I’m willing to bet my last dollar that he was aware of the political climate in that country, but privilege is a hell of a drug. The high of privilege told him that North Korea’s history of making examples out of American citizens who dare challenge their rigid legal system in any way was no match for his alabaster American privilege. When you can watch a white man who entered a theatre and killed a dozen people come out unscathed, you start to believe you’re invincible. When you see a white man taken to Burger King in a bulletproof vest after he killed nine people in a church, you learn that the world will always protect you.

Coming from a country filled with citizens who lambaste black victims of state sanctioned violence by telling us that if we obey the law, we wouldn’t have to face the consequences, Warmbier should’ve listened. If he had obeyed North Korea’s laws, he would be home now. In fact, if he had heeded the U.S. Department of State’s strong advisement against travel to North Korea, he would be home right now. And if Eric Garner is to be blamed for his own death for selling loose cigarettes or if Sandra Bland is dead because she failed to signal when changing lanes, then Otto Warmbier is now facing a decade and a half of hard labor because he lacked both good judgment and respect for the national autonomy of a country which has made its hatred for and vendetta against America unequivocally clear.

And while I don’t blame his parents for pressuring the State Department to negotiate his release, I wonder where they were when their son was planning a trip to the DPRK. Didn’t they impress upon him the hostile climate that awaited him? Didn’t they rear him to respect law and order? Did they not teach him the importance of obeying authority?

What a mind-blowing moment it must be to realize after 21 years of being pedestaled by the world simply because your DNA coding produced the favorable phenotype that such favor is not absolute. What a bummer to realize that even the State Department with all its influence and power cannot assure your pardon. What a wake-up call it is to realize that your tears are met with indifference.

As I’ve said, living 15 years performing manual labor in North Korea is unimaginable, but so is going to a place I know I’m unwelcome and violating their laws. I’m a black woman though. The hopeless fear Warmbier is now experiencing is my daily reality living in a country where white men like him are willfully oblivious to my suffering even as they are complicit in maintaining the power structures which ensure their supremacy at my expense. He is now an outsider at the mercy of a government unfazed by his cries for help. I get it.

GenBuhari:
Sahara Reporters are the mouthpiece of imperialist America, a CIA outfit with headquarters in New York City US.

The same imperialists that have conspired and poisoned PMB, to be replaced by their stealth imperialist stooge Viper Osinbajo, who they installed in VP position to take over when they remove the president at a time of their choosing.

Of course Sahara Reporters tell obvious truths 75% of the time, but their ultimate role is to massively deceive Africans and make us form false opinions to benefit imperialist skullduggery.

The 25% used to deceive is used after they have used their CIA intelligence information to give some truthful info and gain some confidence and trust by giving relatively unimportant facts that is can be confirmed. Then when they tell us the big lies like they are doing in this story, many will believe. Their job is to sensitise us to help form the opinion that Mr President is gravely ill and is likely to die and that imperialist are trying to save his life.

Wife of the President Aisha was probably used to help imperialists appear to be genuinely treating PMB.

Whilst she visited him they may have allowed his health to improve slightly so she will return and tell us he has improved, giving ( false) impression imperialists are genuinely trying to treat him; but the moment she leaves they would increase their dosage of slow poisoning that would eventually permanently incapacitate him (or worse) to continue as president.

you are a danger to this nation u should be locked up.

So the mother of the abused child is crying fowl now How ironic she had the change to send that women to jail but she back down. Leaving a dangerous women back into society. Nigerians needs to learn to put efforts and fights things to the core. If it was my child she did this to i would make sure i ruin her life. First is jail and then i sue her for money. She would work her whole life and Pay me.

DStv and GOtv subscribers will pay more from May 1st

APRIL 4, 2017 BY TOBILOBA FADOJU 2 COMMENTS



Multichoice has announced that as from 1st of May 2017, DStv and GOtv subscription rates will increase.The increase in the rate is by 5%.

We announced last year that we would do everything possible to hold the price barring any extreme factors. However, all our content is purchased in dollars and although we have done everything possible to hold the prices even with the price of everything else going up, we are now left with no choice but to adjust our subscription prices from May 1- John Ugbe, Managing Director of Multichoice Nigeria.

Here are the new price rates that will take effect as of May 2017.

Premium bouquet- from ₦13,980 to ₦14,700
Compact Plus – from ₦9,420 to ₦9,900
Compact- from ₦6,000 to ₦6300
Commercial bouquet – from ₦1,720 to ₦1,850
Family bouquet- from ₦3,600 to ₦3,800
GOtv Plus- from ₦1,800 to ₦1,900
GOtv value- from ₦1,200 to ₦1,300
GOtv Lite- from ₦400 to ₦450
This is not the first time Multichoice would increase its DStv and GOtv tariff plans. in April 2015, Multichoice increased its fee and claimed inflation was the cause.

In a surprising move in 2016, Multichoice set out to reduce the prices of subscription in African countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Botswana, (but not Nigeria) because subscribers were not renewing their subscription because of the unfavourable/ harsh economic conditions.

Currently, Nigeria is facing a harsh economic conditions — a recession. One would think that with Nigeria’s patronage (Multichoice has the largest number of subscribers in Nigeria), they would review the bouquet prices downwards.

DStv’s current price increase in spite of the present unfavourable economic conditions may suggest insensitivity and partiality knowing that it had given similar concessions to other countries in the past. Also, it may reinforce some people’s perception that Nigeria may not really be in recession.

Or is this a good time for Nigerians to boycott their services?

I dnt support domestic violence ,but no right thinking man will wake up and start punching his wife for no reason,something must have caused that, no smoke without fire ,
I feel joke silver and Olu Jacob need to gather all these celebrities for marriage seminar!

U just supported it.

Bollinger:
In a normal society, (emphasis on normal), guess where the parents of those kids will be right now? In jail. Parents in Nigerians don't give a phuck about their kids. They say they do but they don't. How the phuck are kids that young unsupervised for God's sake. Walk around the streets of Nigeria and you'll see thousands of children walking around unsupervised. Unbelievable. Nigeria is a phucked up country filled with weird people. Smh.

I totally agree with u they really don't care. I was in next supermarket 2 weeks ago waiting at the counter to buy Bread. A woman was also waiting with her son of i guess 4yrs old and the boy was all over the place. He even tried going into the bakery a couple of tunes. . The mother was not saying anything at all allot of adults where there and no one had the guts to scould that woman. Untill i got feddup and told her to discipline her son cause if he got burned or hurt she would affact everybody there to symphatise with her. The lady was just staring at me as if she wanted to say what are u on about. She did not see anything wrong in her son behavior.

Pls Wat Are D Symptom Of Meningitis

Cuz My State Of Residence Is Listed Above

Patient Care & Health Information
Diseases & Conditions
Meningitis
Overview
Symptoms and causes
By Mayo Clinic Staff Print
Symptoms

Early meningitis symptoms may mimic the flu (influenza). Symptoms may develop over several hours or over a few days.

Possible signs and symptoms in anyone older than the age of 2 include:

Sudden high fever
Stiff neck
Severe headache that seems different than normal
Headache with nausea or vomiting
Confusion or difficulty concentrating
Seizures
Sleepiness or difficulty waking
Sensitivity to light
No appetite or thirst
Skin rash (sometimes, such as in meningococcal meningitis)
Signs in newborns

Newborns and infants may show these signs:

High fever
Constant crying
Excessive sleepiness or irritability
Inactivity or sluggishness
Poor feeding
A bulge in the soft spot on top of a baby's head (fontanel)
Stiffness in a baby's body and neck
Infants with meningitis may be difficult to comfort, and may even cry harder when held.

When to see a doctor

Seek immediate medical care if you or someone in your family has meningitis symptoms, such as:

Fever
Severe, unrelenting headache
Confusion
Vomiting
Stiff neck
Bacterial meningitis is serious, and can be fatal within days without prompt antibiotic treatment. Delayed treatment increases the risk of permanent brain damage or death.

It's also important to talk to your doctor if a family member or someone you work with has meningitis. You may need to take medications to prevent getting the infection.

Causes

Illustration showing meningitis
Meningitis
Viral infections are the most common cause of meningitis, followed by bacterial infections and, rarely, fungal infections. Because bacterial infections can be life-threatening, identifying the cause is essential.

Bacterial meningitis

Bacteria that enter the bloodstream and travel to the brain and spinal cord cause acute bacterial meningitis. But it can also occur when bacteria directly invade the meninges. This may be caused by an ear or sinus infection, a skull fracture, or, rarely, after some surgeries.

Several strains of bacteria can cause acute bacterial meningitis, most commonly:

Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). This bacterium is the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in infants, young children and adults in the United States. It more commonly causes pneumonia or ear or sinus infections. A vaccine can help prevent this infection.
Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus). This bacterium is another leading cause of bacterial meningitis. These bacteria commonly cause an upper respiratory infection but can cause meningococcal meningitis when they enter the bloodstream. This is a highly contagious infection that affects mainly teenagers and young adults. It may cause local epidemics in college dormitories, boarding schools and military bases. A vaccine can help prevent infection.
Haemophilus influenzae (haemophilus). Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) bacterium was once the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in children. But new Hib vaccines have greatly reduced the number of cases of this type of meningitis.
Listeria monocytogenes (listeria). These bacteria can be found in unpasteurized cheeses, hot dogs and luncheon meats. Pregnant women, newborns, older adults and people with weakened immune systems are most susceptible. Listeria can cross the placental barrier, and infections in late pregnancy may be fatal to the baby.
Viral meningitis

Viral meningitis is usually mild and often clears on its own. Most cases in the United States are caused by a group of viruses known as enteroviruses, which are most common in late summer and early fall. Viruses such as herpes simplex virus, HIV, mumps, West Nile virus and others also can cause viral meningitis.

Chronic meningitis

Slow-growing organisms (such as fungi and Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that invade the membranes and fluid surrounding your brain cause chronic meningitis. Chronic meningitis develops over two weeks or more. The symptoms of chronic meningitis — headaches, fever, vomiting and mental cloudiness — are similar to those of acute meningitis.

Fungal meningitis

Fungal meningitis is relatively uncommon and causes chronic meningitis. It may mimic acute bacterial meningitis. Fungal meningitis isn't contagious from person to person. Cryptococcal meningitis is a common fungal form of the disease that affects people with immune deficiencies, such as AIDS. It's life-threatening if not treated with an antifungal medication.

Other meningitis causes

Meningitis can also result from noninfectious causes, such as chemical reactions, drug allergies, some types of cancer and inflammatory diseases such as sarcoidosis.

Risk factors

Risk factors for meningitis include:

Skipping vaccinations. Risk rises for anyone who hasn't completed the recommended childhood or adult vaccination schedule.
Age. Most cases of viral meningitis occur in children younger than age 5. Bacterial meningitis is common in those under age 20.
Living in a community setting. College students living in dormitories, personnel on military bases, and children in boarding schools and child care facilities are at greater risk of meningococcal meningitis. This is probably because the bacterium is spread by the respiratory route, and spreads quickly through large groups.
Pregnancy. Pregnancy increases the risk of listeriosis — an infection caused by listeria bacteria, which also may cause meningitis. Listeriosis increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth and premature delivery.
Compromised immune system. AIDS, alcoholism, diabetes, use of immunosuppressant drugs and other factors that affect your immune system also make you more susceptible to meningitis. Having your spleen removed also increases your risk, and patients without a spleen should get vaccinated to minimize that risk.
Complications

Meningitis complications can be severe. The longer you or your child has the disease without treatment, the greater the risk of seizures and permanent neurological damage, including:

Hearing loss
Memory difficulty
Learning disabilities
Brain damage
Gait problems
Seizures
Kidney failure
Shock
Death
With prompt treatment, even patients with severe meningitis can have good recovery.

White men treat women better than Black men, according to Serena Williams.

Serena Williams got engaged last week to Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit. Ohanian happens to be white and many are wondering why Serena chose to marry a white man after dating so many Black men.

Well according to the greatest female tennis player and quite possible the greatest female athlete of all time, of all the men she dated, the white men especially her now fiancé, treated her better than the Black men.

“When I date someone I never see color,” Serena said, “I date who I have chemistry with, but I must say Alexis has treated me better than any Black man I have dated.”

Serena has dated a slew of Black men including rappers Drake and Common. She has also dated former NFL linebacker Lamar Arrington and basketball star Amare Stoudemire.

Pica is characterized by an appetite for substances that are largely non-nutritive, such as ice (pagophagia); hair (trichophagia); paper (papyrophagia); drywall or paint; metal (metallophagia); stones (lithophagia) or earth (geophagia); glass (hyalophagia); or feces (coprophagia); and chalk.[1] According to DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition) criteria, for these actions to be considered pica, they must persist for more than one month at an age where eating such objects is considered developmentally inappropriate, not part of culturally sanctioned practice and sufficiently severe to warrant clinical attention. It can lead to intoxication in children, which can result in an impairment in both physical and mental development.[2] In addition, it can also lead to surgical emergencies due to an intestinal obstruction as well as more subtle symptoms such as nutritional deficiencies and parasitosis.[2] Pica has been linked to other mental and emotional disorders. Stressors such as emotional trauma, maternal deprivation, family issues, parental neglect, pregnancy, and a disorganized family structure are strongly linked to pica as a form of comfort.[citation needed]

Pica is most commonly seen in pregnant women,[3] small children, and those with developmental disabilities such as autism.[4] Children eating painted plaster containing lead may suffer brain damage from lead poisoning. There is a similar risk from eating soil near roads that existed before tetraethyllead in petrol was phased out (in some countries) or before people stopped using contaminated oil (containing toxic PCBs or dioxin) to settle dust. In addition to poisoning, there is also a much greater risk of gastro-intestinal obstruction or tearing in the stomach. Another risk of eating soil is the ingestion of animal feces and accompanying parasites. Pica can also be found in other animals and is commonly found in dogs.[citation needed]

ingested by a person with pica
Pica is the consumption of substances with no significant nutritional value such as soil, soap or ice.[3] Subtypes are characterized by the substance eaten:[5]

Acuphagia (sharp objects)
Amylophagia (starch)
Cautopyreiophagia (burnt matches)
Coniophagia (dust)
Coprophagia (feces)
Emetophagia (vomit)
Geomelophagia (raw potatoes)
Geophagia (dirt, soil, clay)
Hyalophagia (glass)[6]
Lithophagia (stones)[7]
Mucophagia (mucus of invertebrates and fish)
Pagophagia (ice)
Plumbophagia (lead)
Trichophagia (hair, wool, and other fibers)
Urophagia (urine)
Hematophagia (Vampirism) (blood)
Xylophagia (wood)
This pattern of eating should last at least one month to fit the diagnosis of pica.[8]

Complications Edit
Complications may occur due to the substance consumed. For example, lead poisoning may result from the ingestion of paint or paint-soaked plaster, hairballs may cause intestinal obstruction and Toxoplasma or Toxocara infections may follow ingestion of feces or dirt.[9]

Causes Edit

The scant research that has been done on the causes of pica suggests that the disorder is a specific appetite caused by mineral deficiency in many cases, such as iron deficiency, which sometimes is a result of celiac disease[4] or hookworm infection.[10] Often the substance eaten by someone with pica contains the mineral in which that individual is deficient.[11] More recently, cases of pica have been tied to the obsessive–compulsive spectrum, and there is a move to consider OCD in the etiology of pica.[12] However, pica is currently recognized as a mental disorder by the widely used Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV). Sensory, physiological, cultural and psychosocial perspectives have also been used by some to explain the causation of pica.[citation needed] It has been proposed that mental-health conditions, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and schizophrenia, can sometimes cause pica.[13]

However, pica can also be a cultural practice not associated with a deficiency or disorder. Ingestion of kaolin (white clay) among African-American women in the US state of Georgia shows the practice there to be a DSM-IV "culture-bound syndrome" and "not selectively associated with other psychopathology".[14] Similar kaolin ingestion is also widespread in parts of Africa.[15] Such practices may stem from health benefits such as the ability of clay to absorb plant toxins and protect against toxic alkaloids and tannic acids.[16]

MeAboki:
Something fisahy about the whole saga, with questions begging for answers:

1) Why is she being held under protective custody; are they afraid for her safety against her own ppl or that she may embarrass them by running away and trying to again re-unite with her lover Yunusa?

2) Why are we yet to hear her own version of events; instead these structured statements being released on her behalf, that appear to have been doctored to conform with the pre-judged positions adopted by her parents, the media and other interest groups - who had chosen to politicise the whole matter?

3) Why has the press seem to have completely lost its voice and not covering the facts emerging from the ongoing trial; especially those concerning veracity of the allegations of forceful marriage and conversion against her alleged abductor Yunusa?

LOL, yeye dey smell - the real truth, no matter how much they try to suppress it, must eventually come out.

all your questions are irrelevant the girl is a minor so hands off

I wonder why a well educated young woman want to marry a 59 yr old man too be come wife number 2,3 or even 4. She can't tell me that she cnt find a man her age.

As buhari who said abacha never stole any money.

omenka:
I have no doubt he must have soaked his brain in some of that liquid that makes it function erratically before making out this statement.

Are we to quickly forget such statements which serve as reminders of how he fought corruption like:

1. Stealing is not corruption.

2. How much did Jim Nwobodo stole that he had to be jailed? (The bold portion is enough to pass him off as a stark illiterate he is, and is typical among a particular set of people around here).

3. If you put a goat close to yams, the goat must eat the yams.

4. People will come after me if I expose corrupt individuals.

5. They can insult me from head to toe, I don't give a damn. (When the oaf was questioned about his reluctance to declare his assets).

Etc.

That man was and will remain one of the worst mistakes ever to be made by a sovereign state.

Pls u guys stop being tribalistic stay on topic. Cause if this comes to pass and i hope not we will all cry no matter what tribe u belong to.

America alerts citizens on planned terror attack in Abuja
The United States’ mission in Nigeria is sounding an alarm of a possible terror attack in Abuja, and warning its citizens residing or those who have businesses in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), to be watchful and excercise security caution.
The mission said, in an emergency message yesterday, that the information available to it point in the direction of Boko Haram as the possible attackers adding that their likely targets would be hotels frequently visited by Westerners.
Though the mission said it had no additional information about the exact timing of the planned attacks, it however said it had alerted the relevant authorities of government, who it said had given assurances that necessary measures would be activated to counter the threat to life and property.
While reminding citizens to exercise additional caution as they go about their businesses, the embassy urged them to maintain a high state of vigilance and personal security awareness, particularly in and around Federal Government facilities, diplomatic missions, large gathering places, hotels, markets and malls, and places of worship.
“We advise all U.S. citizens to review their personal security plans, remain aware of their surroundings, including local events, monitor local news stations for updates, and report specific incidences of targeted violence to the U.S. Embassy in Abuja or the U. S. Consulate General in Lagos,” the embassy said.

May God bless u abundantly

To the OP @Toksxxx

I guess this is a rebound from the "Cant marry a guy who earns N50,000" thread. It really hurts doesn't it? I've realized that guys who have absolutely, I mean zilch, zero chances with exceptional women in real life, always use this marriage subject to massage their overtly sensitive egos. Grading single women by age and hampering on how sad they are gives your ego a little relief, for once in your life you feel in charge. We can easily spot the weaklings because they obsess about single ladies.

Advice to striking women, please do not be perturbed by posts like this. The gentle man who posted this is a known wanke.r, by wanke.r I mean chronic masturbato.r, he is a sex addict, with a wife who literally threw him out.

Loosers like this get really pissed on sighting strong beautiful women who have re-prioritized their life goals, because it tends to remind them of their own failures and magnify their undignified lives. If this is the kind of speech you read to your self to help you sleep well at night, then carry on brother. It's sure better than suicide.
