the ideal way to loss weigth it to burn more calories than you consume i.e. eat less and exercise more.
However you see a lot of ladies (the most culprit) taking the easy way out i.e from drinking all colors of tea (green, black, brown etc, ) to swallowing all sort of wonder pills, all because they don't want to do what they have to do. and in the end they still remain fat.

One should ask the sister if she is naturally fat of if her fatness was as a result of her lifestyle.
In America and Canada, also everyone owns a car and would drive from the 'toilet bowl' to the 'bathtub if it were possible. most of them sit in front of the TV eating extra sized pizza, having a big Mac and drinking soda a.k.a. coke. then with a chocolate bar for dessert
They put anything edible into their system without looking at the side effect. then to cap it all, they hardly exercise, not even moderate walking. so ppl should not bring God in their predicament.

Would the sister be happy if the brother tells her all is well, but still goes for outtings with some other sister who is trim?


Kudos to the brother for being honest, and thumbs down to the sister for crying wolf instead of taking some good advice.

P.s. where is the girl?
she should tell your her BMI, and paste a pics so that we could know if she is okay.

Nicely put.Let's taq marriage out of the equation for a second,wldn't the op want to loose weight for herself & look good?Not neccessarily slim but  ok,Kate Hudson did it,Missy did it and a host of others.All that weight is so uneccessary,and pls spare us all that hogwash abt having weight issues,you can work on it & control it if u're determined.Most ladies are just plain lazy & at the same tym insisting we accept them the way they are,all under the pretext of 'love'.

While millions of Nigerians are scattered all over the world seeking passports of developed nations,people from other parts of the world are working hard to earn the green passport.The irony of life


FEC grants Nigerian citizenship to 82 foreigners

The Federal Executive Council on Wednesday approved the granting of Nigerian citizenship to 82 foreigners.

The approval followed a memo from the Minister of Interior, Captain Emmanuel Iheanacho.

Out of the 82, 38 were granted citizenship by naturalisation while the remaining 44 received citizenship by registration.

Fifty-four other foreigners, who also sought to become Nigerian citizens, were however not successful as their applications were stepped down due to what FEC described as “inappropriate clearance reports.”

The Minister of State for Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, who made this known after FEC’s meeting in Abuja, also disclosed that the council also approved the provision of project management services for Abuja Rail Mass Transit Project (lots 1 and 3) in the sum of N1.2bn.

The project, which has a 48-month completion period, is to be handled by Transurb Technirail Consult Limited.

Maku explained that the council made the approval after considering a memo by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, Senator Bala Mohammed.

According to the minister, the FCTA is embarking on a progressive development of a rapid-based commuter system in line with the Abuja Master Plan.

He said that the rail project had been divided into six lots in order to facilitate its phased development.

Maku further explained that based on the earlier conceptual design and study done by Messrs CPCS Transcom of Canada, Messrs China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (Nigeria) Limited had earlier been awarded the contract to design and construct Lots 1 and 3 at the cost of N841.6m.

The council planned that the rail project would minimise the difficulties currently experienced by commuters in the FCT.

Another contract approved by the council was the direct procurement of 63 Peugeot Expert Teepee G9 ambulances and accessories for use in rural areas in 20 states and the FCT.

The states are Bauchi, Benue, Borno, Cross-Rivers, Delta, Enugu, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa, Kano, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Ondo, Osun, Rivers, Sokoto, Taraba and Zamfara.

The contract, which has a delivery period of four weeks, was awarded in favour of Messrs Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited at N458.4m. The unit cost is N7.23m.

Maku explained that the contract was approved following a memo from the Minister of Women Affairs, Chief Josephine Anenih. The minister had sought the procurement of the ambulances in order to convey pregnant women to health care centres in the rural areas.

The ambulances are expected to accelerate the country’s efforts at meeting the Millennium Development Goals target of reducing maternal and child mortality by 2015.

The first phase of the scheme, which covered 16 states of the federation, was launched by the wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, in Abuja on July 9, 2010.

Maku said, “Maternal mortality in Nigeria is extremely high when compared to other countries, and is one of the country’s most significant development challenges.”

FEC also approved the ratification of optional protocols to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict; and on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography.

The two optional protocols were adopted by the UN General Assembly in May 2000 to strengthen the protection of children from armed conflict as well as the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography.

Nigeria signed the protocols on September 8, 2000 but is yet to ratify them.

Before the meeting began, Jonathan swore in his new Chief Economic Adviser, Prof. Mrs. Precious Garba, and advised her to blend her academic and theoretical knowledge with the practical realities on the ground.

Until her appointment, Garba, a Professor of Economics, was the Dean, Faculty of the Social Sciences, University of Ibadan, Oyo State.

Garba replaces Dr. Tanimu Yakubu, who served as Chief Economic Adviser to the late President Umaru Yar’Adua.

Yakubu quit the job on his own volition after Yar’Adua’s death. Jonathan told Garba that the job of the economic adviser to the President was a “ “challenging and strategic one.”

He, therefore, mandated her to bring her knowledge to bear on the economy, in order to help Nigeria get out of the woods.

Jonathan said, “Now you have been called to come and serve the government and we believe that you will bring your knowledge to help in strengthening the economic team.”

“The office Chief Economic Adviser to the President is a very strategic one, because you will work hand in glove with the minister of finance and you will be involved in a number of policies and programmes of government that have to do with her economic development and growth as a nation.

“That is quite a challenging job and we believe that you are very competent to handle these various responsibilities. You should know that your responsibilities are quite strategic and useful.

“So we believe that you will bring your knowledge and wisdom to bear and serve your nation, not Mr. President, to make sure that we get out of the woods and our economy turns.

“You know we have a dream, a vision and an aspiration that by the year 2020 Nigeria should play big amongst the committee of nations and you have been brought in to play a role in that part.

“You will blend the academic and theoretical knowledge with the practical realities on ground and I believe you will succeed.”

Phone user ‘killed by his exploding mobile’

A man has been killed in India after the mobile phone he was using exploded, according to reports.The victim, named as 23-year-old Gopal Gujjar, suffered serious injuries to his right ear, neck and shoulders.

There were no witnesses to the incident - but it was assumed he was talking on his Nokia when the blast happened in the northern state of Rajasthan.

His body was found along with the remains of the phone and battery near his farm in Banda village, Kota, reported the Times of India.

Police believe he was killed by the device after discovering pieces of the Nokia 1209 handset, a basic model released in August 2008, scattered nearby.

The victim had gone into a forest to tend to his grazing cattle around noon and his body was recovered later that night.

The Times of India said it was probably the first incident in the country where a mobile phone had exploded while it was not being charged.

In January this year, a 27-year-old housewife in Kadapa was killed while she was talking to her husband using a Chinese-made mobile and charging it at the same time.

Deaths due to mobile phone explosions have been reported in countries such as China, South Korea and Nepal.

However, the South Korean incident was later exposed as a hoax.

Vicjustice:
You should shut up! You should know English enough to understand that the poster made remark about himself, his wife and his children. . . So, doesn't it occur in your mind that you're referring to a full man?
Well, as a Nigerian, you're supposed to have been trained on how to respect your seniors, and i don't know if hiding behind your computer keyboard gave you the courage to throw moronic insults at your seniors.

When people like these 'infest' a thread,you know it is time to move on

@ Ohsisi i think the ticketing officer must have had a 'Steven Slater' moment.Haven't flown AF before & judging frm the responses here,i don't think i'm willin to try.Stick to my Lufthansa & haven't had any cause to regret

Dayum,that girl's action was bang out of order!Still surprised how she wasn't lynched,imagine is this scenario took place in Kano.My christian brothers & sisters shld apply caution,tact & wisdom when preaching the gospel

Happy Sabbath

Happy Sabbath to you too

As an Adventist myself,i'v been musing over this for some time now.Ohter countries i'v been to hold elections on weekdays;why do we insist on holding it on the Sabbath day thus disenfranchising millions of Nigerians.It makes no sense at all

Wow some serious ish going down here.While you guys are at it,the Californian court has decided to put same sex marriage on hold till the 18th of this month to deal with some issues from the Prop 8ters

This game is so boriiing,i have had to catch myself frm dozing off several tyms.If this is the shape of things to come,then i dare say the EPL has lost its flavour  

The truth is you've been 'looking down' for too long,you need to look up for once.This dude is playin ya for real

Yep,i'd agree with the fact that TI went beyond looks to tie the knot.Just hope it lasts though

The truth rests on you studying the bible for yourself.But i guess that would be too tough a task for you considering your mind is already made up.

twindude:
Does this slowpoke ever think before he talks? First he said in the 70s poor men should not use telephones; now hez blabbing bunkum about, fukk$$in !!!!

In the 70s u say?that was as recent as the 90's man.The dude obviously got some screws loose upstairs.

@ jencejyd,it's a sad thing he waz murdered but he's definitely not in heaven,neither is he with God,he's in d ground full stop.Pls stop spreadin falsehood

ElRazur:
Who let the dogs out? Seriously this is an insult to million world wide suffering from AIDS. It is also an insult to the intelligence of scientist and technicians working their butts off to bring about a cure.

I am sure muppets like you existed during the dark ages, and repressed every form of knowledge.

Instead of writing this off as another bozo ranting,why don't you take his argument to shreds with your well heeled analysis as a lab tech of repute.

I keep saying Kobo has hit an all time low.Her views used to be refreshing,in fact a thread was not a thread until kobo made her analysis.Now her views are as stale as it gets.Kobo take my advice,go into another hibernation and re-invent yourself.Bring back the old kobo.

semid4lyfe:
Another one from the stable of mama-gee!

  mama gee your continuous use of so,so,so distorts the message you're trying to get across.Why not try conjuctions like,however,nonethless,be that as  it may etc.It would help your write up a lot.Just trying to help.

^^^ these folks neva cease to amaze me.Continually swallowing up all diz washed up conspiracy theories bein bandied about by the so called evengelical party.

makajibbz:
dun mind dat foool, so he's even in u.s.a and he doesnt knw watz up. their's sumtin spiritual goinon behind d physical.

Young man where exactly do i come in here?Do u read properly before retorting?

^^^Was it not the same Christ who said in 1st John 3:2;'beloved i have come that you may prosper just as your soul prospers.Are you now saying Christ contradicted himself or is it you that is contradicting Jesus?Are you trying to tell us that nobody that ever rose through the ranks did it genuinely but had to run to satan for help.If that is the case,then what is the whole purpose of being a christian?To wallow in squalor and impoverishment.Or to just remain in the middle class until Christ comes?What about Job,Abraham,Solomon,etc?

;DHaha, i no fit shout,kobo no go kill pesin.You're the one with the inflexible and rigid personality,refusing to bow to a superior argument even when it is very obvious your argument have fallen thru,you still hold on to it tenaciously like you lyf depends on it.
When was the last time you conceded defeat in any debate,what is wrong in saying;'ok you were right & i was wrong'?Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn.

@Tonye,so based on this ytube video by an anonymous lady you have already concluded that 'Obama must be a satan worshipper'?

Tonye-t:

4 For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers' minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God. AMP
lets embrace the light bro!

Did they not say the same thing about Jesus,that he was not the messiah they were waiting for, that were waitin for another yet to come?

Kobojunkie:
But I never made the claim either nor did I ask for that albeit useless bit of information from you. Again, if you do not understand the point to a post, it is ok not to respond. Inject some useless bit of info, unrelated and unnecessary does not help your case. And this not another US vs THEM debate as anyone reading would easily grasp the point I am getting at here by now.

And what exactly is your point from all the rambling you've just typed?How can you prove that 'this is just another typical made in Nigeria product'.The greatest ignorance is to reject something you know nothing about.And nothin in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and a concientious st*upidity.

@ zaza,it is not on the borderline of paganism,it is PAGANISM,pure and simple.Don't be too feeble minded to say it as it is.

Tonye-t:
^^^ give obama a break. . .ok! so at the expense of his massive deceptions. a break indeed!

What deceptions,so you xpect me to bliv all these crap about satan worship?Even if it is true does that negate from the fact that he is doin an awesome job?

Kobojunkie:
Bull! Not all product issues are to be blamed on maintenance  . .  please READ and understand the post before responding.

If you bought a low quality TV from a Chinese manufacturer, no amount of maintenance will make it a better TV, so please cut the bull and move on!

This is just another of your directionless arguments.Who said all product issues should be blamed on maintenance.I only reiterated the fact that maintenance issues have  always been the bane of the Nigerian society.Same China you quoted have become technically the 2nd largest economy in the world with their substandard products,while we continue to put down ours cuz we bliv we can neva get it right.

Kobojunkie:
That things break down is NO REASON for anyone to want to settle for low quality goods or service, wasting money, in this case the people's money, in the process. So, my question is how did that partnership work? Was it the usual  "we bought it, it crapped . . . everything breaks down so we will continue to settle for what we know or believe may be of low quality"? Or was it "we bought it, it worked and we got our money's worth at the end of the day"? Which is it?

You missed my point by a mile.The point is even if they travel to Germany to acquire Mercedes Benz products,without regular maintenance,these products will eventually pack up.Besides there's no proof the products are below par.This is just the same rethoric,that everything made in Nigeria must be below standard and even if they are,i still recommend they buy them,How did the so called asian tigers got to where they are today?

As per your question on the Zenon thing,i dont know how it panned out,eventually

OLAADEGBU:
This seems strange but could it be true?  A woman took up this challenge and investigated this claim.  The clip below shows how she arrived at her conclusion.

Young man what is your fixation on Obama?Give the young man a break & stick to your own neck of the woods,Jheeze!!

^^^ the crux of the matter is not the longevity of the products but the poor maintenance culture inherent in the country.Everything breaks down,eventually.
