Neither of you is correct. It is a Fawn.

asha80:
that's not impala as impalas are not found in west Africa..that is a bush buck(west African variety)That is a bushbuck and it is not threatened as they can survive heavy hunting pressure.
Kudus occur in southern and eastern Africa not west africa

No. It is a fawn that is why it has those spots Deer don't have those spots.

hajlat:
Neither antelope nor gazelle, this is DEER. The male has horns.

No it's not sir.

OdenKelechi:
it's called an impala...i've seen it severally on nat geo wild

It shows a lot of people don't know what they eat. That is not yet a deer. It is just a fawn.

Deepfreezer:
Its a deer. Cute and sweet meat.

It's a Fawn. Just a baby. That is why it has the spots.

mollode:
I think the animal name is deer.... stand to be corrected tho!

I assure you this: YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEY BACK. If you don't, call me out here.

If she had read this just last week, she wouldn't have been affected by the acid like this. see: http://laffhub.com/blog/what-to-do-if-someone-throws-acid-at-you[quote author=missNGLatest post=46161749][/quote]

Okay will do that.

logica:
You can write a test for "R" and "L" factors too while you are at it. Also test for the "A" factor; you know some people tend to pronounce words like "name" like "nem".

One method is, since you are aware you have the challenge, slow down your speech a couple of notches so that you can track when such words come up.

Krasid:
How? Note, I do not use L in place of R like most Igbos do, but do not pronounce the R in words and am forced to repeat myself.

That is easier to train

Krasid:
Mine is the 'R factor'.

It's mainly due to how you learnt the words. Some teachers can scatter a child's vocab.

BuyNaija:
How can we train ourselves and why don't I have the H factor.
I doubt if we care about such things in this part of the world , I guess it's genetic.

Did you pass the test?

viqueta:
yoruba people and H factor are like APC and propaganda.......na joke o, before all my yoruba friends go vex for me like say na me make economy hard

H-Factor is when someone has trouble pronouncing words that have the letter H in them or pronouncing words that do not have the letter H in them as having the H sound. You can test yourself and check your H-factor-compliance by reciting aloud, the sentence below in 5 seconds. If you have difficulty reading it out aloud correctly, you have the dreaded H-factor. But not to worry, at least you now know and you can retrain yourself to lose the H factor. Cheers.

It is advisable to have someone with you to monitor your compliance. Have Fun! courtesy laffhub.com.

No, I disagree. We are own worst enemy. The reason people are violating traffic laws is because there is no enforcement of the laws. Abroad, nobody will violate because they know they will be caught and would pay heavily for it. Back to the soldier guy that is breaking mirrors today; tomorrow, it might be your turn and you actually didn't do anything wrong but he would beat you because he gets away with it. Let's support the right thing always even if we dislike the people doing it.

symbianDON:
exactly!! Nigerians are archaic and that is why many of them violate the simplest of rules and regulations hence they receive punishments meant for archaic people. if only to 'reset' their brains to normalcy, I support not only breaking the side mirrors but also having them flogged sir!

Read and learn. http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/elephantiasis.aspx

Uchemus you are right

Yes, you are right. Malaria is very dangerous. The writing pattern employed here is to bring attention to the evils mosquitoes can bring in a tragicomedy way.

JustHere2Observ:
Smh. The same malaria you are praising kills every hour. Kills pregnant women, causes miscarriages, kills children and some adults too. I lost a cousin to malaria, another survived but it gave her partial deafness. Malaria is dangerous and not to be taken lightly.

Diethylcarbamazine reduces the microfilaraemia But is not a cure for Elephantiasis.

Uchemus:
, it can b treated with a drug diethylcarbamazine, nd pls i dnt expect u to go about treating people. evryone shuld see his/her doctor.

For mosquitoes, I advice you prevent them getting into your abode in the first place with all your means.

oseod:
The child tho....the worst is the damage cannot be undone.....
*sighs*..
The mosquitoes I have here now have grown resistant to mortein and sniper....infact sniper is like apple juice...anytime I use sniper in my room, its like they grow bigger the next day...and because they're fat and overfed they can't even fly properly...I have go through the tedious process of eliminating them manually

What is the cure sir?

Uchemus:
pls get ur facts right b4 u come here to mislead the general public., Elephantiasis has a cure, and not all encephalitis are caused by mosquito.

This is tragicomedy literature. I thought you would notice it.

bodeoni:
Nice write up OP. I get what you are saying but I am not comfy with how you are making malaria a small issue. None of the other mosquito borne diseases are as problematic as malaria. Malaria kills over 400,000 persons annually, most of which are children. Responsible for over 150million clincal cases. Malaria is one of the reasons Africa is poor.

Join the fight against Malaria.

Unfortunately, they are.

Omolola1:
Wow, just wow .

I'm guessing those kind of mosquitoes are not in Nigeria

You most certainly have seen them before. In traffic, those pesky people with huge, swollen extremities begging for, as they put it, ''money for treatment'' and you most likely shrugged them off or even more drastically, shooed them away thinking goodness knows how they got that. “They must be from a certain part of the country” You mutter to yourself. They must have drunk dirty, muddy water or something. You think to yourself as you try in your head to justify shooing them away.

Have you had malaria before? I’m assuming you were treated and you were up and doing in a week. But next time you have malaria, pause to think about these facts. You were bitten by a mosquito and you got malaria.

That pesky individual we just talked about earlier was bitten by a mosquito too. He was just unlucky to be bitten by the wrong mosquito. – Look at what he got.

What afflicts the aforementioned individual is called Lymphatic Filariasis A.K.A ELEPHANTIASIS and he got it from a mosquito bite.

In fact, it seems the “best” disease you can get from a mosquito right now is MALARIA.

Other diseases spread by mosquitoes include:

Elephantiasis: Characterized by extreme swelling of body parts including but not limited to- Legs, Arms, Head. This disease has no cure and you just have to cope with it. Many people in Nigeria have it and it affects over 120 million people worldwide. Pictures below.

Yellow Fever: This name is widely used in Nigeria to mean something else but the real yellow fever, spread by mosquitoes, is very deadly. What makes this a dreaded disease is the way it damages the liver. It also causes bleeding in the mouth, the eyes and the gastrointestinal tract, making the victim to vomit blood.

Encephalitis: There are different types of this disease, all caused by the mosquito. It is cruel as it is a disease that affects the brain. Different types of this disease present with different symptoms including: complete paralysis of half of the body, mental retardation, weight loss that will not be regained again, neck rigidity, disorientation, coma, tremors, occasional convulsions and spastic paralysis.

Zika: You must have been hearing about this disease in the news lately. This is a disaster of a disease and even scientists don’t know all the effects it has on both adults and children yet. What we do know is that in adults, it causes Headaches, Red eyes, Joints and muscle pain, Fever and Rash. If a woman is in the early trimesters of pregnancy gets the Zika virus, her unborn baby most likely would get it too and the effects on the unborn are devastating. In unborn babies, the virus “eats” up the brain making the child have a tiny brain and a very small head. This condition is called microcephaly. The baby will have several brain related disorders. No vaccine or treatment is available and in the US and several other countries, pregnant women that have Zika virus, are usually counselled to have an abortion as they won’t like the kind of baby they will deliver. In El Salvador where there was a recent outbreak of the disease, women have been advised not to get pregnant till 2018 when the virus might have been brought under control- It’s that bad.

Pictures of a Zika baby below.

So the next time you get malaria, just think deeply about what it could have been and you would want to give a hug and a kiss to that kind mosquito that gave you ''just'' malaria.

It's a nice thing for Nigeria but that red car is an aerodynamic nightmare. The car would be using like 60 % of its power to overcome drag.

QuotaSystem:
Nope, its because that was his signature project. Take a look at his more recent projects.

In a petri-dish, yes but on your skin, no. The base that you talk about can burn your skin on its own eg. lye. What you are doing with the water is not neutralizing it, but diluting it to nearer to PH 7.

chinchum:
You need base to neutralise acid, water wont work as well as a bar soap. I learnt that in my chemistry class, grab a soap ( toilet soap) it has got base in it.

My mischievous chemistry set it as an objective question many many years ago.

No, as long as you keep the water flowing on the affected area.

olanrewajumi:
am lost kind of..all I know z that acid should be added to water and not d other way round..becos adding water to acid could produce a volatile effect..won't this affect the
face of the person the more?

No one needs to know all that but how it feels- It feels like fire.

stevups:
Thanks for the info. But not everybody recognises acid or how it smells, so far the enemy might not come with its bottle. We need to be enlightened in this wise too.

The skin is not the right surface for an acid-base reaction. Might completely destroy tissue.

Raydos:
i thought water will make matter worse!! my teacher said "BASE" is the only solution - water will react with acid very badly which will increase the rate in which the victim face will be damaged -- just imagine pouring a drop of water in a bucket of acid, that will borne out an horrible reaction ----- nobody is perfect anyway, maybe my teacher is just joking sha!!!!!

Yes. Water but not just water, but lots of water. You should be under the tap for long like 30 mins and above.

Lamasta:
The reason why WATER is the first thing needed by an acid attack victim is because what acid does to the body is to first of all DEHYDRATE the victim i.e remove or dry up all the available water in the body and then start the attack on the individual by burning and damaging most vital organ in the body that it has contact with....
This acid might be STRONG OR WEAK ACID, STRONG ACIDS are HCL (Hydrochloric acid), HNO3 (Nitric acid) and H2SO4 (Sulphoric acid) while weak acids are CH3COOH (Ethanoic acids), Hypochloric acids etc
If You come accross any acid attack victim first thing to do as the OP rightly advises is to run under a running tap or quickly take an emergency shower or wet yourself with any available water nearby, what this water does is to reduce the concentration of the acid if it is a STRONG ACID so that the effect or damage will not be much so the more water you pour on the affected area the less injury sustain by the victim......Weak Acids have less effect unlike strong and concentrated acid.......The victim can then be taken to the Hospital for proper medical check up......Never mind my grammer typed it a hurry, From an Industrial Chemist

It is just too common nowadays. One was reported yesterday in Nigeria again.

Yuneehk:
I just wonder what would make a sane person pour acid on another person.

Yes, the smile is lovely. I pray you don't have to smile in such a lovely way though.

Cutehector:
Aww wat a lovely smile
