Waspy: Pls stop distracting, i'm trying to count the stars

Which stars?

Is it just me or are more female members uploading their pictures ever since the 'Like' feature was added to our profiles?

In those days when you click girls nairaland profile, you find out that only 40 percent of them have pictures in their profile but nowadays after the 'like' button was added, it is not so and many girls have pictures in their profiles

Maybe am wrong about it and there hasn't been an increase in the number of profile pictures or maybe my observation is true.
I don't know.
Has anyone else noticed this?

phiszo: The only VALID reason girls date married men is MONEY. The only VALID reason married men date young girls is SEX.

True talk ojare my brother.

rudedough: But on a serious note. What's with all these letters in the 21st century? What happened to emails? Mehn these Ol' School Politicians need to give way for the youths to take over.

What the fvck is a letter in the 21st century?

They are just seeking attention.

Funny old men.

Oxone: I think its the unavailability of the guy that makes him more appealing than most. Everybody wants something somebody has already got.

The exclusivity increases the appeal. Ever wonder why "limited edition" items are always more expensive and sells out more than the normal edition of same item even though nothing is different?

I remember back when i use to wear a wedding ring just for the fun of it. Ladies for me then were a dime a dozen! one day 2 beautiful classy ladies walked up to me in a shopping mall and gave me their numbers. They were fascinated that a young guy like me was married and flaunting it too. That was the day most of my single friends got themselves wedding rings

That period taught me a very valuable lesson and that's why I'll never tell a girl I'm interested in that single . its always "I'm in a very serious relationship I'm not willing to end". That gets them every time because they don't expect it. makes me wonder though

See lie first

Good day all.
Please when is clearance exercise for admitted students going to start?

My brother got admitted into Engineering and he doesn"t know when to go for the clearance/admission process in uniben?

Thanks for replying.

ACM10: Fixed!

I ignore this fo.ol and move on

LOL

Next time make sure there is no enlightened person close by before attempting to denigrate Optometrists with your lies

ACM10: I agree with you.They can be professors of optometry. But that does not give them the license to toy with people's eye or to exceed the area of competence.

What the hell? They are Doctors of Optometry! When they go to the University and get an O.D degree which means 'Doctor of Optometry' degree, Then they become doctors, DOCTORS OF OPTOMETRY, NOT MEDICAL DOCTORS BUT EYE DOCTORS.

Optometrists are licensed to treat eye diseases, they are not toying with anything. Your ignorance is embarrassing, go bury your head in shame.

ACM10: If you an an optometrist, permit me to debate you on how one can truly make a diagnosis of glaucoma.

I am not interested in your debate. You can shove it.

Sir you are misinforming the general public with the bolded and I will not allow you to get away with it. An optometrist is not a medical doctor! If you did not bag an MBBS, then you are not a medical doctor. However an optometrist can attach Dr to his name after he has acquired a doctorate(Ph.D) degree in optometry. I decided to post an internet resource that could be of help to you in resolving your area of conflict.

ARE YOU BLIND? ? ?

WHERE DID I SAY THAT AN OPTOMETRIST IS A MEDICAL DOCTOR?

I NEVER SAID AN OPTOMETRIST IS A MEDICAL DOCTOR, STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH!!!

I NEVER SAID MEDICAL DOCTOR, GO AND REREAD WHAT I WROTE AND STOP PRETENDING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I WROTE BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO ADMIT YOU ARE WRONG.

Dumbass.

In short let me place the information here because you might still come to this thread and insist that you are not spreading misinformation and that Optometrists are not Doctors.

From Wikipedia;
Optometry or Doctors of Optometry is a health care profession concerned with the health of the eyes and related structures, as well as vision, visual systems, and vision information processing in humans. Optometrists (also known as ophthalmic opticians outside the United States and Canada are trained to prescribe and fit lenses to improve vision, and to diagnose and treat various eye diseases. In the United States and Canada optometrists are Doctors of Optometry and are held to the same legal standards as any physician

ACM10: No sir/madam! I am not an ophthalmologist and can never be one. I did not feed anyone wrong information.

So what exactly are you and what makes you think you can authoritatively declare that Optometrists cannot diagnose Glaucoma?

ACM10: Mind you that it is wrong for an optometrist to play doctor.

AN OPTOMETRIST IS A DOCTOR !
Are you deliberately trying to cause misunderstanding or are you truly this ignorant? I would advice you to google 'Optometrist' if you don't know what the profession is about.

An Optometrist is different from an Optician.
Maybe you are confusing one profession for the other. Google whatever you are not clear about. Stop spreading misinformation.

ACM10: You are yet to answer my question. Gradual loss of vision is one of the symptoms of glaucoma. There are many others. Keep gradual visual loss by the side, how can someone make a diagnosis of glaucoma from the other signs and symptoms? Since you are not an optometrist, I wouldn't want to push you further. I would have loved to have this debate with an optometrist. But I will put a stop to it here.
The optometrist who referred you to an ophthalmologist is worthy of emulation. I salute his professionalism. How I wish other optometrist could copy him. Most will toy with the patient until the very end before referring to an ophthalmologist. Please follow the instructions of an ophthalmologist strictly. Be compliant with your check-up visits. All the best.

LMAO.
Something tells me you are an ophthalmologist

Abeg abeg abeg, ACM10, you can be a good ophthalmologist without trying to drag Optometrists' name through the mud kwanu? Medical practitioners need to stick together and work hand in hand in order to further the standard of healthcare in the country. No need for the unnecessary snubbing.

Your earlier statement that Optometrists cannot diagnose glaucoma was very wrong and instead of admitting it you tried to change the subject to a debate about glaucoma.

I just hope you are not feeding people wrong information like this in real life.

Abeg wetin be that thing wey them take the tatoo draw? E resemble crocrodie.

ACM10: That area is an exclusive reserve of ophthalmologists. [size=15pt]An optometrist cannot even make a diagnosis of glaucoma[/size] So how can he jump to epidemiology when he cannot make the diagnosis of the disease in question? We should learn to separate the job of different cadres of health workers. No need to introduce this unnecessary confusion.

What is this rubbish?
Optometrists are primary eye care providers meaning that they are the first doctors that deal with any patient with eye problems before either prescribing drugs/glasses or referring them to another specialist.
How will they prescribe drugs/glasses or refer when they cannot diagnose eye conditions? What is this nonsense you are saying?
You'd better shut up instead of misinforming the public with wrong information.

Designed by the Mitsubishi Heavy Industrial Group and opened in July 1993 at a cost of 200 billion yen ($2 billion), the pool has yet to turn over profits, despite catering to daily throngs of tourists.

This is very sad indeed.

johnsluv: Am new here....you guys should welcome me!

Welcome to Nairaland.
Such a lovely and fun place.

You can logout anytime you like.
But you can never leave......

I won't be surprised if our useless police try to shove this case under the carpet because their former colleague is involved or because one of the buyers bribed them.

pato405: How many Nigerians know who an optometrist is let alone knowing where to undergo vision screening.

Lol. True talk.
Some people are only hearing about Glaucoma for the first time on this thread.

[quote author=Mr_Anony]Actually I know of an old illiterate woman in a church I attended when I was back in Enugu who only speaks Igbo and cannot speak a word of English but whenever she prays in tongues, she prophesies in English.[/quote]Hoax, the woman is paid to pretend

I have also heard the testimony of a muslim who came to Enugu for a conference and while the church was praying, a particular brother was praying in tongues and speaking in Hausa and this muslim (now ex-muslim) was listening to him and asking questions in his heart while the brother who was speaking in tongues was giving him direct answers to the thoughts in his heart. That is how the guy got saved from Islam and came to Christ. Mind you, the guy that was praying did not know how to speak Hausa at all.

Hoax again, the 'Muslim' and the guy speaking Hausa were paid to attract people to the church.

I can tell you about the first day I spoke in tongues. I remember consciously trying not to speak but whenever I opened my mouth, the words came bubbling out. I remember going down on my knees and crying because I was a skeptic and it had only been about a few weeks since I came to the knowledge of Christ but the Holy Spirit chose to give me an experience that cleared all doubt for me.

Although no other African National Congress leaders were seen at the event, Zuma joined Zulu warriors in traditional dances as thousands of his relatives prayed for him to retain his position of ANC president.

Zuma was reportedly given a shield and spear to defend himself from other contenders for the ANC’s top position.

[quote author=m.k.o2005]Pls no hate words here! Just ask around,muslims pay tithe at the end of the year according to their abilities ! Pls just ask arround. Though that shouldn't be the issues here !
God bless us[/quote]You lying Christians will tell any lie to implicate Muslims.

Who told you Muslims pay tithes? Muslims DO NOT pay tithes, there is nothing like tithe paying in Islam, please look for another excuse to justify the thieving ways of your pastors.

makaveli1: Shatttap ya mouth if u don't have anything reasonable to say, the fact that imams dont buy private jets doesn't mean they can't afford it...

What if Imams can afford jets?
Are they buying it form the money their congregation gives them? NO!!!
If you see any Imam buying a jet, then they bought it with their own money that they worked for, not money that was scammed form brain dead congregations of foolish church-going sheep.
Imams work, they have jobs outside of preaching unlike your thieving pastors that sit back and quote bible verses while you morons throw your tithes at them to feed fat on.

Do u know how much a particular mosque realize from Friday prayer offerings they even make more than churches sometimes FYI... The fact remains that every religious institution in this country MUST be taxed if ordinary citizen can pay tax then theirs shouldn't be a different case Because they can afford it!!

The money realized from Friday offerings are
1. Not compulsorily taken from the congregation, it is voluntary.
2. Given to charity.
3. Not given to the Imam for his personal use.
And how dare you compare Friday offerings to the payments churches get?
You people collect tithes, first fruits and whatever foolish dues your church associations charges the members coupled with offering from your Monday to Friday church programs. If it is not youth meeting offering then it is Bible study offering.
