[quote author=Elantracey]op I just hope you're ain't mistaking self confidence for pride[/quote
Wen self confidence gets into the head,it bcomes pride! Dnt u tink so? ]

MrsBreezy: Which I did read through thoroughly.

And I am also sharing my views. It's unfair. Maybe just the females you've met are such. And we've all encountered that kinda girl. But honestly there are a lot of humble intelligent females out there.

Ok tanx, i aff yea

MrsBreezy: That's a bit unfair. You can't judge all intelligent ladies on the couple you've met.

But that was just a caption! U coudnt just conclude on a caption! If u take ur tym and read through,u wud see i ws only sharing my experiences and was open for ideas and views! A "what do u think" thing! So relating ur own idea(s) or even experience wud be received with ano open arms! Winks

ibnjarir93: May be you misconstrued their self- confidence for arrongance. Suggestion?

Wen a gul tell u no man can control her,wat do u call that? Or wen a girl tells u "u cant teach me" is that not pride?

Osarieme415: There is one I know.... Brilliant girl... First class student. She said no man can control her

Thats wat am talking about!

BreezyRita: Not all intelligent girls are proud. And at times it could be its not pride! If her IQ is higher than a guy's, its only natural if he feels she's proud or showing off............. A lot of people have said that to me. I like challenges. A guy who can outwit me will always have my respect! Its not pride! Its knowing who you are. I know it could get to the head, though.
@ op, you've not been lucky.... There are still intelligent girls who aren't rude, saucy or proud.......... Just keep looking
Or you could settle for someone with a lesser IQ, you know
Good luck in your search!

Its not bad to knw who u ar and confident, but i bet there are mur humble ways of showcasing intelligency than waiting til a man outwits one! Like u sd,"...it could get to the head" and wat apens to the lady if it gets to her head? Thats pride,arrogance and the lots and remember it is said that ,pride goes bfore a fall of a man! I pray dey dnt realise their mistake wens late!

psucc: I read a thread on NL that to beat the expiry date one has to continually top up.

You may confirm from others.

Thats reasonable! But wias the moni for continual top up. Chei.

ifaoni: gud.

Oga pls tell me hw to go bout it nau

Can anyone pls help out on hw to go bout data transfer as a business. Buying in bulk and selling in bit! The challenging aspect is the expiring date of the data transfered or sold. Is there how one can extend the date to start counting the day u transfered or sold it. Ideas pls.

chidyhels: There is tendency of being proud if you find ur IQ more superior. It takes a superior to humble you.

Op. Try dating gals with same or lesser level of intelligence.

Dating a gul wit lesser IQ woudnt solve it my dr! If one is proud,no two ways,she is proud!i have a vry close male frnd,he is almost a genius,but so humble that he dosnt seek notice at all and wen u come in contact with him,no matter who u ar,he stoops to ur level. Hes in finland for further studies.

Naavah: Why can't u overlook that side if she does other great things. No one is perfect my brother.

No one is actually perfect, but looking away at her pride might turn out to be wat i wud regret to live with in time to come! And dont forget,pride has many sisters and brothers,even cousines that accompanies her!

Ivanspring: Sorry dear, i don't match-make. I think experiencing that adventure is necessary and also good for you. It will enable you appreciate better that 'special woman' when you finally find her.

Oh! Was that hw i sounded? I neva meant it dat way of "match - making" ! I know its a quest and finding her is a mata of time! Thanks anyway.

Addict000: i hav met a few intelligent ones i must confess dey ar rare dis days..............but fortunately nd unfortunately i hav had dem has really close frends nd never dated any respectively. atleast neva dated those dat quite challenge me nd kip me on my toes. Buh i knw dem well.......or i wuld i assume i do, i discovered dey ar great conversationist cos we tlk abt evrting.......from literature to history to mathematics to science to politics....d list is endless. Buh dey tend to switch off on u. The muslim ones i hav meant ar always mostly alhajas.......so i wuldnt wanna spoil em*winks*. B patient dude......twuld turnup

I do hope u not a player o! Thanks anyway!

MrIknowAll: Go To LIteRaTurE FoRUm

Ok thanks

Luckygurl: I really don't think this is general although it might be true with some.
If ever there's an atom of pride in an intelligent lady, believe me, she'd be humbled when she comes across someone that thinks more clever than she does.
It ain't only a ladies thing sha.

You have point,i quite agree with u,but on the contrary, proud and arrogant ladies from time to time would always remind you that dis vice is an inbuilt and dis might just get me irritated! Believe me,am humble and my attitude frowns at pride the reason am findin it a wholesome task to accomodate anyone wit pride!

Ivanspring: @op, you were only unfortunate to meet the proud and arrogant ones. There ladies who are very beautiful, very intelligent and yet are still humble. Not easy to find, but they do exist.

Can u pls assist in reducing the stress of my adventure by helping to recommend one! Who knows, u may just be a God sent!

IAmBhijay: Never generalise bro. there are many humble ones.

If its so,that means am not yet fortunate to meet with them! I will get her very soon.

MrIknowAll: THERE ARE sO mAnY hUmBlE aNd iNtElLiGeNt bABeS OuT ThErE EvEn ON nAiRaLaNd

Will you show me some?

This thread is not a mere thought,but am sharing from a personal experience!
Naturally,am usually drawn to intelligent people that are humble and dont play to the gallery,but withdrawn and dislikes with passion,anyone who is intelligent but proud and arrogant,male and female alike. With this in view, i felt i will be happy, dating and having an intelligent lady as a wife. And the journey started!
After my higher institution and during my service year, i was attracted to one for her intelligency, but moving closer to her,i realised she was having this vice in her,and i had to withdraw,after telling her why we cant be. After my service, i came across this beautiful lady, she got evrything i ever needed in a lady and moving closer,i was not dissapointed in her level of intelligency. She confessed also of never ever coming across someone like me. A dream come true i said to myself! But After about our tenth month of relationship,this vice reared up its ugly head! The more i tried playing it down and pretending like its not there, the harder it became for me to handle it! I now realised she has been pretending all along. Gosh! Marrying a Laddy i know i cant cope with will mean managing her, and that could be suicidal cux you dont manage ur partner in marrige! I quit our being!
I had other experince with yet another intelligent lady but still thesame result!
Now does it mean its really true of intelligent ladies or i was just being unfortunate? Your ideas and contributions pls and no insult! I stand to be corrected pls

I LOVE THIS SONG BY JOHN LEGENE, DEDICATED TO THE LADIES IN THE HOUSE!

"All Of Me"

[Verse 1:]
What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

[Pre-Chorus:]
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, ohoh

[Verse 2:]
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you

[Pre-Chorus:]
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, ohoh

[Bridge:]
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, ohoh

DEDICATED TO THE SWEET LADIES IN THE HOUSE!
Have I ever told you
that if I sit really still and silent,
sometimes. I like to think
I can hear your heart beating
in time with mine?

Have I ever told you
that when I watch you speak to me
through lines and cords,
and bytes and ram,
I imagine
your voice,
whispering into my ear?

Have I ever told you
that I wait out each day
in anticipation,
wanting
only an hour or two,
just a second in space and time,
to feel close to you?

Have I ever told you
that there has been times,
when I ached for you,
ached for you so badly,
that the emotions overwhelmed me..
and so I sat and cried?

Have I ever told you
that sometimes,
I will reach out,
touching your name
on this cold screen before me,
wishing
I could reach in
and pull you to me?

Have I ever told you
that after the first time I heard
the sound of your voice,
thousands of miles away,
I sat up all night,
turning the conversation over and over
in my mind,
examining it,
like some newly discovered species of flower?

Have I ever told you
that I would give everything up,
just for one night
to be able to lay near you,
to feel your chest rise and fall
with each breath you take,
just to know that you are real?

Have I ever told you
that I dream of you often,
I dream of you reaching out
and touching my hand,
simply to let me know
that you are there,
and everything is okay?

Have I ever told you,
have I still yet to tell you . . .
that I love you?

So which is their recent and pocket friendly plan?

THAT WE MAY NOT FORGET – DR AMEYO ADADEVOH & JUSTINA EJELONU!

There’s a statue in Yaba, Lagos, of a man, whom many in Nigeria have forgotten. His family never have. And now, we all have a chance to remember him, and in a way, to honour him. He is the man on our one Naira coin.

Herbert Olayinka Samuel Heelas Badmus Macaulay, had a daughter, Sarah Idowu Abigail, who would get married and give birth to a son, Babatunde Kwaku Adadevoh. Babatunde would grow up to become a doctor, and have kids of his own. One of these children, Stella Ameyo, became, like her father, a doctor.

She would go on to work at a hospital in Obalende, Lagos, First Consultant Hospital, not very far from where her famous ancestor was once imprisoned by the British.

It was to be at that that place of work that Stella Ameyo was to perform an act that would save the lives of possibly hundreds of thousands, and sacrifice her own in return.

On July 20, 2014, a patient was wheeled in from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport. Patrick Sawyer, the patient, had shown signs of high fever during his flight from Monrovia, and was taken straight from the airport to the hospital. By the next day, his condition had deteriorated, and he was immediately placed under observation, while his blood sample was taken, and sent for tests.

That same day, Mr. Sawyer insisted, with the help of officials of the Liberian Embassy, on being discharged. Stella Ameyo, as supervising doctor, stood her ground that he should not leave the hospital. It was at that point, while reinserting his needles, that she came in contact with him, and in effect signed her own death warrant. One of her junior colleagues, Justina Obi Ejelonu, who had the day before when Sawyer was brought in, helped in checking him, also assisted in placing him back in care. Like Stella Ameyo Adadevoh, Justina Obi Ejelonu, has passed away.

There is no other word to describe the actions of both women, and indeed their entire facility. In preventing the escape of this patient who had insisted on leaving, in his condition, for Calabar, 750 kilometres away, both women saved countless lives. What if Mr. Sawyer had decided that the best way to go to Calabar was to go to Jibowu and take a bus? Even if he’d chosen to go by air, which would have made his fellow passengers that much easier to trace, the potential damage is incalculable.

The most tragic part of the passing of both women is that they cannot even be buried decently, and with all the respect that their sacrifice demands. The very bug that cut them down is so virulent, so unforgiving, that even that honour, will be deprived them.

The sacrifice that Dr. Adadevoh and Nurse Ejelonu have made is the highest form of sacrifice that any man, or woman, can make for his, or her, fellow human being. It is said that there is no greater love than to lay down your life for your friend. Both women, and their colleague, put their lives on the line for 170 million of their fellow citizens, many of whom do not even understand the concept of what it means to be a citizen. The very least that Nigeria can do in appreciation, is to honour them.

I have a suggestion for such an honour, and not some meaningless title or coin which will soon fall out of use. Nigeria should declare August 19 each year a national holiday, and in the names of both women. That way, some Nigerian child in six decades can ask his parent, “Mummy, who is Stella Ameyo Adadevoh?” And the parent can reply, “That woman saved my life, and the lives of all of us”. It is the least we can do. It is the least we should do.

Nigerian scientist develops trial Ebola drug, 'Nano Silver' for the treatment of Ebola Virus Disease

The Federal Government is to receive Nano Silver trial drug for the treatment of Ebola Virus Disease patients, it was learnt.

The drug is from a Nigerian scientist living in the diaspora.

Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu said yesterday at a Press Briefing in Abuja said it has been used experimentally for many things.

A Nigerian contagious disease expert, Dr. Simon Agwale, had said that Nano Silva had proven effective against viruses, bacteria, and parasites. “It may be also a source of a cure” for Ebola patients, Agwale said.

Nano Silva oral, according to www.indiamart.com, is a dietary supplement providing nano (10nm) scaled silver particles in pure hydro solution.

Reports confirm that Nano Silva Oral kills the deadliest bacteria tested so far.

US major universities like UC Davis, Kansas, UT have proven the effectiveness of the product in killing thousands of strains of Staphaureus, T.B, Strepaureus, E. Colli, Salmonella, yeast and even anthrax spores and so on.

Nano Silva Oral is the only non-toxic product-proven to kill anthrax spores. Test reveal successful efficacy of Nano Cell Silver in combating malaria, bird flu among others.

Nano Ag+ ruptures and penetrates the cell wall membranes and interacts with sulphur and phosphorous compounds of DNA, inhibiting the replication of bacteria.

The strong positive ionic charge of silver enhances additional bactericidal effect, thereby killing the bacteria totally.

The other well known experimental drug is ZMapp, which was given earlier to two Americans infected with virus.

WHO opened the door for experimental Ebola drugs earlier this week, after a panel of ethicists it convened condoned such treatments because of the challenges of controlling the outbreak that has killed more than 1,000 people.

The Health minister told journalists in Abuja that Nigeria had so far recorded four Ebola deaths. The four are Sawyer, who is the index case, two nurses and an ECOWAS protocol officer, Jatto Abdulqudir .

Chukwu said, “Out of these, four have died and six are currently under treatment. It is important to note that the number of confirmed cases remains 10 as of today (Thursday).

“The fourth death recorded today (Thursday) was a nurse, who participated in the initial management of the index case(Sawyer).

“The total number of persons under surveillance in Lagos is now 169. These are all secondary contacts as all the primary contacts have completed the 21-day incubation period and have been delisted to resume their normal lives.”

He added that Enugu State has six persons under surveillance because 15 out of those quarantined after complete evaluation were found not to have had any contact with a nurse who allegedly disobeyed medical advice and travelled to Enugu.

He said the nurse, who was “a primary contact of the index case who became symptomatic and tested positive and is one of the 10 confirmed cases.”

Chukwu said,” The nurse who had been placed under surveillance in Lagos disobeyed the Incidence Management Committee and travelled to Enugu.

“At the time she made the trip, she was yet to show any symptom and did not infect anyone on her way as transmission of the disease is only possible when a carrier of the virus becomes ill.

“However, she has since been brought back to Lagos. Before her return journey, she had become symptomatic and had to be conveyed to Lagos with her spouse in special ambulances.

“The husband is not symptomatic neither is he positive for the EVD but he has been quarantined given the intimate contact with her while in Enugu. It is therefore important to emphasise that there is no EVD in Enugu State.
