Taught a user was saying it didn't happen in Nigeria and was even analysing that the picture is of a man.

Another user was also denying that it didn't happened in his area and so ignorant users dash him some likes...

While only abstinence can give you 100% protection from STDs and STIs, proper use of the co ndom can give you as much as 98% and keep you safe. But, if you do any or all of the things listed below, you only wasted your time! Using a co ndom is one of the best ways to have s ex safely – with up to 98% efficiency. Not only do they help prevent pregnancies, they protect from s exually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and s exually Transmitted Infections (STIs). co ndom use is now a norm. However, the truth however is that co ndom is only useful and effective if it is properly used. This means a person may get 0% protection even though they used a co ndom – they simply did not use it right. Therefore, if you do any or all of the things listed below, you only wasted your time:

1.You store the co ndom in your pockets/wallet. Where you keep a co ndom matters. In your wallet or pocket, it can get compromised because of the regular friction and warm temperature.


2.You used it beyond expiry date. Like every other thing, co ndoms have expiry date and they offer little or no protection after that.

3.You wear it after gen ital contact. The best thing to do is to wear your co ndom before any genital contact to protect you from other fluids like pre-c um (men) and va gina fluids.

4.You use your teeth/sharp object to open the wrapper.Your teeth can cause a tear in the co ndom. The packet should be opened with your bare fingers.

4.You use your teeth/sharp object to open the wrapper.Your teeth can cause a tear in the co ndom. The packet should be opened with your bare fingers,


5.You wear it too tight on your pen is. When you wear a co ndom, leave a small space for ejac ulation and sp erm collection at the tip. This will prevent leakage and rupture of the co ndom when you ejac ulate..

6.You wear the wrong size. The wrong size means the co ndom is either too small or too big. Neither is good because the co ndom can tear, leak sp erm, or fall off inside the va gina.

7.You touch the co ndom with sp erm. If you touch the co ndom with a hand that you have previously used to touch sp erm, you have compromised it. So remove it and wear another.

8.You do not roll up the co ndom totally. The co ndom should cover up your pen is to the base, near your scr otum. So roll it up totally, until you reach the ring.

9.You use reuse a used co ndom. Once a co ndom is taken off, after ejac ulation or after an initial attempt to wear it, take it off, and get another one. Never reuse a co ndom.



While only abstinence can give you 100% protection from STDs and STIs, proper use of the co ndom can give you as much as 98% and keep you safe. So ensure that you are as conscious about how you use it as you are about actually using it. Have s ex, have fun, but stay healthy.

SuperSupremo:
Normally girls asks us out everyday but they do it indirectly, if only you have the capacity to decode actions and inactions of ladies you gonna find out

Few will say it directly but me for instance even before you say it I'd already decoded it and will lead the way.



My decodings are so accurate so I got no wahala.


I got a lot of problems with such ladies when I was younger and it only fortified me with experience which I now use wisely

nutty you!

ButteredBiscuit:

OMG yes yes! We'll go to NewYork, we'll see the statue of liberty 2geda but ermm be going to the sun, I'll come and meet you there Baby

ButteredBiscuit:

ButteredBiscuit:
It's perfectly fine for a woman to ask a man out.

But there's social stigma

She runs the risk of be labeled and taken as everything from desperate to a hoe
**;And some men perceive her as such and take advantage of her
Or want nothing to do with her.

**And all this just because she was bold enough to speak her mind.
I feeling defiant these days though
So not only would I but I will make it my mission to ask men out.

You're on-point

The shortest verse in the King James Version of the Bible states “Jesus Wept.” The terseness of this verse gives it impetus; driving scholars to inquire the text for deeper and complex meaning such an emotional moment might be signifying. The verse spawns multiple possible interpretations, some contrived and others far-fetched. From trying to “humanise” the Son of God to thinking Lazarus’s prefigured that of Jesus
himself, the bottomline was that Jesus was overcome by emotions and he let it out. In short, public display of human feelings, especially by a public figure,
necessarily invites interpretation.
It is in this light I read the latest article on President Muhammadu Buhari by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, entitled, “Buhari:
Beyond the Iron and Steel.”

Adesina attempts to portray a Buhari that is “human and humane” and to achieve this, reached for parts of the President that starkly contrast his public image of a tough, resolute and almost impenetrable leader. He sketches a picture of a Buhari with a sense of humour by chronicling his relationship with him. He shows the
President as a man of like passions, one who can be tickled just like the rest of us mortals. Like Jesus Christ who wept because his humanity burst through
his divinity, Adesina gives us a Buhari that laughs because he is human (or is humanised by his sense of humour).
There are a number of reasons the article interested me enough to warrant this response. One is due to the simultaneous political subjectivities that are expressible through laughter. There are many reasons
people laugh. Laughter is variously inflected by multiple valences of human actions and that is why all forms of laughter are not the same. People laugh, not merely out of mirth or gaiety, but in some instances to express solidarity and even to hide dissent.

There are other reasons people laugh too and in the cases inventoried by Adesina, I found myself questioning whether those who laughed at the President’s jokes did so because they found him genuinely funny or because they were expected to
laugh because a big man was cracking jokes. Let me quickly digress to say I got interested in how people laugh in the presence of power during Dr. Goodluck
Jonathan’s time as President. From certain photographs, I observed that a known person tends to
“over-laugh” on each occasion. It was as if his laughter was not about the joke being shared, but as an expression of a made in Nigeria I-remain-loyal brand of sycophancy. When people like that laugh at jokes by their superiors, they may be registering camaraderie. That means it is unlikely they will reflect on the story and the politics of the telling.
Adesina gave an instance of Buhari using an anecdote about a German sentry to express his relative powerlessness in fighting corruption in a democratic
setting. He said the President and his guests laughed heartily. Beyond the “hearty” laughter, did they ponder
his telling of the story as gesturing towards at an underlying truth? That contrary to what he thinks, Buhari’s anti-corruption is not necessarily impeded by
the inbuilt devices of checks and balances of democracy? That the fight against corruption will greatly profit if Buhari – and I must add, his supporters – stop romancing his dictatorship past.

From the anecdote Buhari shared with his guests and his added commentary, the man of iron and steel we are invited to see unsettlingly carbon-dates to his own
first coming in the ‘80s. Also, it seems his past is some kind of glorious machine he regularly polishes with the oil of nostalgia.
In a sense, it is understandable why he would be self- righteously stuck with his old methods; even Nigeria itself has barely progressed and an objective assessment of our social evolution will show that we
have actually regressed as a people. Nothing says that a society is more stagnated than a former military ruler in a civilian rule who talks about his
abusive and repressive past, not to denounce it with a firm conviction of “never again!” but pits it against the
relative tameness of democracy. Democracy may have its own demerits but the brutal and unjustifiable tactics Buhari executed as the head of state, clamping people to jail and forcing the populace to attain a level of discipline was a useless method of nation building.
Viewed against the bigger picture of developing a national ethos or guiding philosophy, and molding a sense of citizenship, his first coming added nothing to us.

There are some of Buhari’s followers who still romanticise this period and some go to the extent of openly lamenting the constitutional constraints that prohibit a return to this past. This call for regression
to barbarism is worrisome. Adesina himself stated about this period that Nigeria was being “whipped into line.” He probably imagines Nigerians as circus
animals that need whips to get them to act. If there is any possibility that if Buhari’s WAI had managed to instil a military kind of discipline in people, Nigeria
would have functioned better, it would have been evident in the structure of the Nigerian Army itself that was charged with enforcing the so-called discipline.The military officers themselves lacked the discipline and decorum that suggested their ideas had any intrinsic worth beyond sheer cruelty. This internal instability was evident in the way they toppled themselves in coups and counter-coups.
The logic of the idea of forced discipline was curious for even its own time; so, why have they not let it go since? The endless resort to bringing up Buhari’s dictatorship past as some kind of nirvana – that was
Adesina’s language- while lamenting the impossibility of re-enacting the same due to democratic constraints is nothing but a crave for sadomasochistic pleasure.
In what universe would a government that practised some of the inhuman acts Adesina himself called a “nirvana”? Which brings me to wondering how – with all the spin and rationalisations one gets to hear these days – this period will be archived and narrated sometime in future by historians.

Will the future historians of this period overlook the various policies of the past one year that have been raising inflation and causing tremendous woes for
Nigerians? Will they acknowledge that this
administration’s anti-corruption fight is a triumph of an extravaganza of public trials over the sobriety such a process requires? Will they properly inventory the litany of failed promises and the various setbacks the nation has experienced under a leadership that did not adequately prepare for power or will they rewrite history by surreptitiously denying people’s reality?
Adesina’s piece is interesting in other ways too. He says Buhari reads the satire Nigerians pen about him and he laughs at them. I find that funny too but for its
irony. There is a reason politically disempowered people use laughter as a weapon of resistance against their leaders. The instruments of laughter range from memes to satiric social media updates, age-old cartooning, and witty captioning of moments, all of which are calculated to tell the emperor he is buck
naked. But imagine the Emperor laughing back at the people even as he prances on horseback, still naked?
The joke will be on the people and their laughter will awkwardly cease.
Adesina says when Nigerians criticised Buhari’s frequent travels, he read them and laughed since he understands that there was a point to the travelling.
For me, that attitude is one that needs to be addressed. If Nigerians do not see the point of the President’s “wakaabout”, it implies a failure of communication on the government’s part. The paternalistic condescension of Adesina and Buhari’s
counter laughter over the lacuna they created suggest they do not even see any issue to it. That is frankly troubling, not funny.

Get your facts right before you start spewing trash online

vizkiz:
Your question is straight forward but answering this is kindda complex if we put the present situation of a country into consideration.

To some 500k for school fees in a term is just too much while to some others, 5k per term is unaffordable. We are in a messed up economy bro even public schools are not fee anymore.

In ekiti state for example, you see patents owing school fees for 2terms because the economy in that state is dead already...even while the amount is below 15k they still owe and when their debts becomes unrecoverable (bad debts) they withdraw their child to a new school

So looking at my evaluation I will say if a parent can't afford to pay his/her child's school fees with ease, it is too much

5. Okpa

Okpa is predominantly consumed by the Igbos from south-east Nigeria. Again, it is eaten by everyone because of the taste. It is prepared using peas, palm oil, salt to taste and pepper. It is usually wrapped in banana/plantain leaves or nylon.

6. Akara (Beans cake)

Akara or Beans cake is arguably one of the popular street delicacies in Nigeria. You can find Akara at almost every nooks and crannies of these country. It is prepared by frying measured quantities of grinded beans in vegetable oil. It can be eaten alongside bread or pap (akamu or ogi).

These delicacies are tasty, yummy and delicious. They can easily be bought in your neighbourhood. And for first time visitors or travellers to Nigeria, your visit may probably be incomplete if you don’t taste some of these under listed delicacies. You can buy these takeaway foods on the highway. You don’t need to worry the preparations as they are prepared in a pretty hygienic environment and wrapped in a newspaper. Interestingly, Jovago.com can inform you that these delicacies are inexpensive!

1. Moi Moi

Moi moi is a very popular delicacy in south-west Nigeria. However, this doesn’t mean that moi moi is restricted to only Yorubas’. It is consumed by everybody because the taste is irresistible! It is prepared from grinded beans, steamed and wrapped in a leaves or nylon. Just make sure you buy a hoooot one!

2. Kilishi/Suya

Hausas/Fulanis from Northern Nigeria are experts in the preparation of kilishi/suya. Hence, don’t be surprised when you see only Hausas/Fulanis dominating the business in most parts of Nigeria. Suya/Kilishi is prepared from smoked meat. These raw meats are cut into sizeable pieces and fairly roasted. Today, cucumber, tomatoes and pepper are additional ingredients that makes Suya sweetest!

3. Smoked Maize with Coconut or Ube

The Roasted (or boiled) maize can easily be eaten alone. However, if you want to savour the flavour of maize it is better you combine it with either coconut or ube (African pear). The pleasant taste leaves you wanting more. You will keep going back we assure you.

4. Boli

Boli otherwise known as Roasted plantain is prepared using unripe plantain. It is not difficult to make Boli, but you have to ensure that it doesn’t get burnt. You can enjoy Boli with stew. Tell the Boli seller to add enough stew!

No matter how bad, destroying things don't cut it, people work for these things

#1. Radioactive Strontium Eye Treatment

We could jokingly compare this to the infamous clamped-eyeball psychological torture scene from A Clockwork Orange, but then was saw the radiation symbol here and realize the reality is probably worse. No matter what the intended use of that device was, this was not an era when people knew a whole lot about safe uses of radioactivity. Or cared.

The patient here is receiving doses of radioactive strontium, which shoots radiation into the eyeball to destroy tumors or whatever other sort of thing you'd hate having on your eye so much that irradiating your eye is considered a preferable alternative. This one is still used, by the way, though they're working on a much less terrifying method of just injecting some strontium directly into your goddamned eyeball.

#2. Plombage (Lung Balls)

You can be forgiven if you can't tell what you're looking at here, because it looks like an X-Ray of somebody with dozen golf balls in their right lung. Of course, that would be ridiculous -- what possible medical benefit could be derived from cramming a patient's lung full of golf balls? No, they actually used these:

It was a procedure called plombage, which was the process of collapsing a person's lungs with acrylic balls to allow them to "rest" and heal the lesions caused by tuberculosis. The drawback to this therapy was that sometimes the balls were never taken back out, which led to infection, sepsis and other serious complications related to having your lung tissue inundated with balls made of the same material used to craft RuPaul's fingernails.

#3. Violet Ray Machines

That space-bong the suffragette in the picture is shoving into her nose is called a Violet Ray machine, which were essentially portable Tesla Coils doctors gave to patients to use at home for the relief of minor pain and skin irritation (because if it's old and weirdly science-awesome, it must be Tesla). They started out as legitimate medical devices, but quickly dissolved into mass produced trinkets that could supposedly cure everything from stuffy noses to prostrate trouble.

The idea was, you plugged the machine into a light socket and then used a variety of glass or metal attachments for different parts of the body to zap away ailments with the combined might of 1920s science and medicine. The medical claims were nowhere near accurate, of course, and the FDA eventually had Violet Ray machines recalled and destroyed.

#4. DDT Delousing

Nothing mildly amuses a soldier like a woman whose hair is on fire. Wait, is he trying to extinguish the fire? Is he setting it? Is this all some kind of prank?

Don't worry, that's not actually smoke. It's just a huge cloud of bug poison that he's using to kill the lice in her hair. Lice carry diseases, and in World War II, lice were especially common among POWs and concentration camp survivors, because those people clearly hadn't been hit with enough bullshit.

The USDA discovered that DDT mercilessly destroyed lice, in addition to anyone in a physical contest against Jake "The Snake" Roberts. So, it became common practice to hose down pretty much anyone on the front lines with DDT powder, because we weren't entirely clear on what cancer was at this point.

#5. Net Suspension

"We've caught another one, boys! We're gonna eat like kings tonight! There ain't nothin' like the meat of a well-tortured human!"

That dangling torture device was actually for patients with scoliosis and other deformities, in order to "set" their crooked backs before putting them in a cast by dangling them in a net by their hands and feet. This was also back during the terrifying reign of polio, when the medical community was so overwhelmed with cases of skeletal deformity that they were a hair's breadth from just paying circus strongmen to hammerpunch people's spines back into place. Though that would have made for a less disturbing photo.

#6. Rib Resection

This is one you have to look at for a moment before you realize holy shit that guy is missing like 20 percent of his torso and cannot possibly be alive.

Don't worry, all that's happened there is ... oh, wait, it's exactly what it looks like. The guy is having his ribs resected to drain the pus out of his lungs before he drowns in it. In the days before antibiotics, this was a common side-effect of pneumonia. The ribs were often removed so the lungs could be more easily accessed for incision and draining, a procedure which killed exactly as many patients as it sounds like.

#7. Iron Lungs

This picture of mounted child heads and a bizarrely cheerful nurse was presumably taken in a wing of Willy Wonka's factory not featured on the tour, wherein he straight-up murders children without any of that candy-themed "life lesson" pretense and saves their heads for glazing.

Unfortunately, the reality here isn't much more pleasant than that -- it's a bunch of kids in iron lungs. These devices were in popular use during the first half of the 20th century to treat victims of the rampaging polio epidemic, because it isn't medicine unless it's mechanically sterile and terrifying.
Polio caused paralysis, right down to the muscles the patient used to breathe. The iron lungs were huge machines that did their breathing for them, and as such, a patient could expect to be imprisoned in one of those things for weeks, months or even years. All that time with just their head poking out, unable to do anything except just lay there, motionless and be happy to be alive.

#8. Electro-Stimulation of Facial Muscles

That man isn't actually screaming in horror -- those wires are electrodes, and he's making that expression because electrical currents are contorting his facial muscles against his will. Okay, he may also be screaming in horror.

The mutton chops on the right there belong to Guillaume-Benjamin-Amand Duchenne, a French neurologist who electrocuted the shit out of a mental patient's head meat to make him pull goofy faces, and then photographed those faces in the pursuit of knowledge. Consequently, it looks like a still from Howdy Doody if Howdy was the taxidermied corpse of a homeless man rigged with the same wires they used to make Mr. Ed speak.

Duchenne originally intended to explore the muscles of the hands, but ultimately decided that it was his scientific duty to put electrodes onto peoples' faces. He kept a detailed photo record of his study, because he knew the Internet would be invented someday.
