In comparison here in Nigeria, we embrace, praise, celebrate, amnesty, defend, red-carpet, kow tow to the looters of our common wealth. Little wonder Lagbaja called us Mumu-Nigerians.

Just look at the arguments supposedly educated people base their voting decisions on in NL and elsewhere - all primitive, all nearthandal!

Where is our rage as the few oppress the many and steal them blind? Hosaai!

Really, walking mental prisoners abound in this geographical space, though free men walking.

God save Nigeria.

YOUR A FOOL. GOOGLE FALLING OIL PRICES AND ITS EFFECT ON OIL PRODUCING COUNTRIES AND STOP COMING TO DISPLAY YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND STUPIDITY. STOP DOING COPY AND PASTE WORK OK. AS BIG AS SHELL IS DO YOU KNOW HOW THIS FALLING OIL PRICES HAS AFFECTED THEM GREATELY. IF A BARELL OF CRUDE OIL GOES BELOW $36 ALMIGHTY SHELL WILL SHUT DOWN . GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT , DO RESEARCH AND STOP SPREADING LIES LIKE APC

Guy, go get an education on this fast before advertising your blatant ignorance here.

If GEJ's government had saved up some reserves during the good times instead of the mindless looting and 'ordinary stealing' going on, we would have had enough money to defend the naira when oil price went south. No reserves or little reserves means naira can't be defended sir.

This is how it works for an oil-based economy like ours:

No boom savings = No doom stability
Boom savings = Doom stability

L.C.M = GEJ mismanaged our economy.

How could he say that?

A president lacking in integrity... No scruples, no vision, no wisdom, no values, no tact, no competence, no sense of leadership. A blind man leading a mighty nation, promoted way beyond his level of competence. SMH.

We should judge his statement, "Ordinary stealing people are calling corruption" as a window into the real nature of his mind. Forget the cover up in the Presidential Media Chat- his spin doctors had taught him how to right his shame.

Another 4 years too long... to tolerate this guy, sentiments, bias, religious and political leanings aside. I say this because most people voting for GEJ are just tolerating him... Or are allowing the fear of the unknown to stifle their reasoning...

Another 4 years too long...

God save Nigeria!

Mmadukaku:
God please give me the cluelessness of GEJ if this is what clueless people do.

Cluelessness is being unaware, not knowing the implications of ones actions and behaviours. Cluelessness is not knowing how to use power for the good of the majority. Cluelessness is GEJ's actions bringing Nigeria to it's knees and doom. Cluelessness is one man chasing aku(money,glory, position) by sacrificing mmadu (human beings, Nigerians) through his ignorance, the reverse of your name Mmadukaku.

Ask God to forgive your first prayer son!

Sanusi's speech is a metaphor of the why and his role in revealing the mindless stealing going on in this callous government.

Sir, we understand this stealing teacher-slap parable! E make brain die!

Mehn see TKO! Soludo does not not fight fair. He pulls no punches and holds no prisoners. This is point and kill, o tugbuo orie! Lion in the jungle. Madt!!!

Chai, 'Messiless'! Ewoooooo!

Seriously, this is what Nigeria needs now - an Intellectual Revolution... If NOT, then the people's revolution will be inevitable.

so because she's lifting your own words means her account has been hacked.
Hmnnn


Interesting

My own words? Have u ever heard me supporting either of the sex's excesses? What is bad is bad. I picked aisha2 out because for a long time she's been a voice of reason on NL and has earned my respect.

Men cheating and patriachialism, in all its forms are bad. Women cheating and feminism, in all its shades are equally bad. Two wrongs don't make a right. I am for order, mutual respect and love in the home. There should, therefore, be a code of behaviour and a moral compass for the family for a society to thrive. Any other thing is anarchy. Lose-lose.

It's the reason many people don't take feminism seriously. You don't correct a wrong with a wrong. You make things right by coming to equity with clean hands and creatively demanding for justice, balance and fairness.

Any other thing is chaos. The family, as a collective, will not survive the aftermath. Look at what is happening in other climes already. Is that the result you all want?

Many ladies/girls and guys come to NL to read your posts to learn what's right, form their own beliefs and be educated. We, therefore, ought to be mindful of what we post here, shouldn't we?

aisha2:
Why dislike me? Shebi you want to break a home hiann. The man should not listen to home breakers oh, oga husband keep ya home oh

Indeed, someone has hacked into aisha2's NL account!!!

aisha2:
Na who wan scatter family unit? No be this man go dey share pisures of him darling wife? Marriage is for better for worse in cheating and in ashewo the man must make his home work oh by fire by force
He should thank his God that its only one man at least she respects him

I really dislike this aisha2. It shocks me though some part of me feels u are being sarcastic. OR have u decamped? Hurt again?... Forgive me but it beats me...

tit:
i have posted a snap shot of ip addresses using PAT on page 1.
Look at it, it has five "octets" and the fifth octet has funny numbers like "1445".
Without a closer look at the technology the APC voting hacker is using to perpetrate this fraud,
it would be foolish for anybody to conclude that since normal ipv4 address are eight binary digits, that one cannot get a dotted decimal number above 254.
((in the fourth octet, 255 is for broadcast)(this is so gbenga will know i know a little bit)).

Nne, google Gbenga Sesan's profile pls! He's both a locally and globally recognized geek. I will stop there. I won't take him on in a debate if I were u. Just a piece of advice.

Lots of love.

Dedicated to all the shady politicians.

E be like say dey wan to tell us another story again o

Banks all over the world lose billions to technology-related fraud yearly. Ask any banker in this country. With all the technological sophistication in bank security billions of naira are still lost to tech-fraud in Nigeria alone.

Makes u wonder how this President hopes to achieve a corruption-free country with technology alone as he is saying. Send corrupt people to jail! Is that too big for Jona's mouth? Mtcheew!

Artistree:
I've not found a cure yet, I had another bout on Monday and presently out of work.
Pls check ur inbox, I sent u a pm.

Hi Artistree. Having some network challenges accessing the yahoo mail now.

preshuzpearl:
By the way. As a follow up on this post, I started seeing a doc at general hospital and they prescribed some drugs for me as well as therapy. I've been on medication for about month now and I think it's working. The only bad thing there is that I seem to be dependent on the drug now. If I don't take it I will not enjoy my day.

I read through your thread and I can't believe some experts and some peeps here were telling you there was nothing wrong with you!

Your words, thoughts and reactions on this thread alone suggested there was something very wrong with you. Your thoughts about children, parents, having a family, lesbianism, suicide, killing and depression were screaming alarms! You were depressed- very much so. Fact.

Happy you are seeing a doctor. It's a good step to recovery.

I also suggest u get to the roots of what's troubling you, if you really want to lead a normal life or find your authentic self. Drugs won't heal or cure you. But it can help, though there will be side effects.

What u really need to be FREE is to also see an Emotions Therapist that'll go to the roots of your problem and release them. Take this advise seriously. Let me know what u think.

Have u found a cure yet? If not, and u are interested, then let's talk. You can PM me.

Merry Christmas!

evil999:
u killed Ur wife...why not take her to a better hospital mtcheeew
Indian doctor my @ss

Nigerians and their knack for blaming the victim. Smh.

Do you know how deep or empty his pocket is? Also, who says it's not one of the 'better' hospitals in the area? And why is government allowing quacks thrive in our land? Is it not their responsibility to make sure that quacks are obliterated off our lives?

JeffreyJamez:
Last time checked the militants didn't kill Civilians, it was the all knowing soldiers who raided villages and killed civilians in the name of "flushing out" the militants....and oga Tompolo didn't kill for fun you hear...... boko haram kill for fun...... stop sitting in your houses and drink what the media tell you.....the militants fought for justice, not for fun.

Before MEND, there were local tribal wars like the Ijaw and Itsekiri wars and later cult wars all over the Niger Delta. Before MEND and during MEND many civilians in rival camps were killed. Many kidnap targets and victims were wasted. Guess who became a cult hero in the aftermath? Your man, Tompolo.

Yea right, they fought for justice. Seems more to me like they were fighting for their pockets. They are today obscenely rich and have cornered the juiciest contracts in the Niger Delta and the people they were supposed to have fought for are now worse off. Where is the justice in N. Delta today?

Abeg...

JeffreyJamez:
Smh.. the rate of illiteracy on NL is becoming alarming, very alarming even the so called educated ones.Most of you didn't even read the story,just the headline before commenting with your politically bigoted minds. Someone Owns a security firm that is under contract with the FG to protect the waterways and bought weaponry for that effect you people are ranting about war and this and that... like say if una see war una go fit stand... mchew rubbish.... the sooner you people start thinking with clear minds absent politics and sentiments the better for this entity called Nigeria.

That someone protecting our waterways also happens to be be the ex-leader of a group that once took up arms against the Federal govt for years. The hardest, meanest and the most fearsome of the 'ex-militants', who is reputed to kill for fun. The same Tompolo that has sent many soldiers and civilians to early grave...

Before you mount that your all-knowing, intellectual, and highly literate pedestal think again bruv. Think again. This time slowly.

Mcbussy:
Yeah

Ok, best wishes. Nice talking to u.

Mcbussy:
Not yet done with MSW.I still have some months to go... So I'm not yet practicing professionally. For now its just field practice and its mainly about assisting people on how to cope in their environment. In some cases, I deal with marriage, child and conflict intervention. Any case that requires social work intervention.

Ok, great. Are u doing the MSW here in Nigeria?

So sorry ma'am. May God strengthen and comfort you abundantly. May you always find good memories you both shared to cheer you up and celebrate his life.

Mcbussy:
that's great...keep it up

Thanks man.

And you, great combo - psychology and social work. What does your work entail??

Mcbussy:
Well, I guess that is ur finding...I have never really worked on d subconscious mind. I am a Psychologist and Social worker.

What kind of therapist are you?... if you don't mind.

Ok, cool. I'm a Mind/Emotions/Health/ wellness Coach & Therapist

Mcbussy:
Okay,I get ur point...nobody can be too sure,but so far,nobody has ever come out to prove he has his parents memories. No scientific finding has proven it. If there's any,then u can please share d link cos I would love to learn new things.

I have never seen and recognised my parents childhood friends without an introduction from my parents. I have never had flashbacks of events that happened to my parents b4 I was born. I don't know about u,but for me,I didn't inherit my parents memory.

Well,I don't think u can relate cognitive functioning to memory. Its more like a processing power, its more like intelligence,and its quite different from memory.

The exact memory "tabula rasa" is about is the child's own experience. Not the ability to reason very critically or the fast thinking that's usually passed from intelligent parents to their offsprings.

Like I told you earlier, I agree with most of the points u made, it was just that small point... It was too general for me.

Also, while we may not remember our parent's memories that way, I believe we subconsciously remember a lot of things in some form:life lessons, trauma, things that hurt our parents, limiting beliefs, empowering beliefs and perception. The similarities in family traits, patterns, compulsions, addictions, dysfunctions can only mean that some sort of memories are 'remembered' and passed on.

I believe children carry memories/pain of their parent's or grand parent's trauma in some form. I see this in therapy every time. I am a therapist.

Our body has records of these things in some form. Our body is a biographer.

Mcbussy:
Op,nice job....but I'm gonna argue about John Locke's tabula rasa.

Truly,cognitive traits and capabilities are passed from parents to offspring. But what John Locke was saying is dat a child comes to the world with a blank slate (tabula rasa) i.e blank mind...the child's experience in life is written on that slate and therefore is one on the key factors that develop d individuals personality.

If you look at urself. your childhood experience, the kind of environment u grew up in helped shape who you are today. Every individual responds to d world according to his own experience, views and perception.

Definitely, parents can't pass their own life experience to their ofsprings through the genes. If that was the case, every Jew born in present day would naturally hate Germans even without hearing the world war 2 stories. African Americans would still be feeling the pains of their slave ancestors... Lolz

So I think the scientists that related genetics with "tabula rasa" must av had d wrong perception of what John Locke meant. Memory and perception cannot be passed by genes. It is possible to pass cognitive capabilities and patterns.

While I agree with most of your post, I have an issue with you making a categorical statements like "Memory and perception cannot be passed by genes." How can anyone be sure of that? Even the best scientists are still tring to make sense of the world.

You say memories and perceptions cannot be passed on, whereas it is possible to pass on cognitive capabilities and patterns?

Capabilitiies and patterns and other abilities and proclivities, dysfunctions annd diseased that are passed on are still some form of memories aren't they? The brain 'remembers' the habit/pattern/capability, even though it's mostly subconscious, right? To me that's memory. Same thing with perception, if we 'remember' then what is remembered affects how we perceive things (perception) and what we believe and ultimately our behaviour. Also, if memory, perception and beliefs cannot be passed on then what is the essence of heredity? Is it not to help the succeeding generation survive and thrive and learn from their ancestors?

I have no doubt that they are transferable, even though there are still many grey areas in our knowlegde of the process and modalities of what is 'remembered' and what is not.

My 2cents.

Hi Kanwulia/KanwuliaJara,

I'm so page-25 late but because you asked for our opinion about you, I will oblige you.

I may be wrong, but you may be in the manic arm of bipolar/ manic-depressive disorder. You are smart, you are intelligent, you are daring, you are humorous but something is missing - you have no boundaries and you respect none, sometimes at great risk to yourself.

Here are some info you can read up, perhaps it may help:

Bipolar disorder is also called ‘manic depression’. Manic-depression: Alternating moods of abnormal highs (mania) and lows (depression). Called bipolar disorder because of the swings between these opposing poles in mood. A type of depressive disease. Sometimes the mood switches are dramatic and rapid, but most often they are gradual. Bipolar disorder is often a chronic recurring condition.

What types are there?

Bipolar I

Some people with Bipolar I will have only manic episodes, although most will also have periods of depression.

Bipolar II: milder than bipolar I

Mania

Mania is an extreme sense of well-being, energy and optimism. It can be so intense that it affects your thinking and judgement. You may believe strange things about yourself, make bad decisions, and behave in embarrassing, harmful and - occasionally - dangerous ways.

Like depression, it can make it difficult or impossible to deal with life in an effective way. A period of mania can affect both relationships and work. When it isn't so extreme, it is called 'hypomania'.

If you become manic, you may notice that you are:

very happy and excited
irritated with other people who don't share your optimistic outlook
feeling more important than usual. 
full of new and exciting ideas
moving quickly from one idea to another
hearing voices that other people can't hear.
full of energy
unable or unwilling to sleep
more interested in sex.  
making plans that are grandiose and unrealistic
very active, moving around very quickly
behaving unusually
talking very quickly - other people may find it hard to understand what you are talking about
making odd decisions on the spur of the moment, sometimes with disastrous consequences
recklessly spending your money
over-familiar or recklessly critical with other people
less inhibited in general.
Euphoria
Inflated self-esteem
Poor judgment
Rapid speech
Racing thoughts
Aggressive behavior
Agitation or irritation
Increased physical activity
Risky behavior
Spending sprees or unwise financial choices
Increased drive to perform or achieve goals
Increased sex drive
Decreased need for sleep
Easily distracted
Careless or dangerous use of drugs or alcohol
Frequent absences from work or school
Delusions or a break from reality (psychosis)
Poor performance at work or school


If you are in the middle of a manic episode for the first time, you may not realise that there is anything wrong – although your friends, family or colleagues will. You may even feel offended if someone tries to point this out to you. You increasingly lose touch with day-to-day issues – and with other people's feelings. 


In a manic episode - these will tend to be grandiose beliefs about yourself - that you are on an important mission or that you have special powers and abilities.

Other symptoms:
Depressive:

Low or 'depressive' feelings of intense depression and despair

Silent treatments (the bad kind) are subconscious habits learnt from dysfunctional homes, drama-filled homes and homes that have poor communication skills. Most people that use the extreme kind of ST, learnt to use it to survive overwhelming pain, abuse, confusion, threats, danger in their childhood - situations where you are better off silent, where speaking would bring u punishment, pain or ridicule.. Most times it is a coping mechanism for some people that had tough/intimidating/dysfunctional childhood experiences.

Sad thing is, they learnt to use it to survive danger or pain in childhood, but continue to act as if that old threat is still there when provoked or triggered in adulthood. In essence, they are not just responding to what you did or said. You triggered something deeper.

Nice one OP.

Here are my own lessons:

1. That only a bad workman quarrels with his tools.

2. That for a good carpenter, half-inch nails are no excuse for bad workmanship.

Goke7:
I am also of the opinion that keshi should go but not only him, some players as well including the likes of uche, emenike, onazi, ambrose, omeruo [until he improves], echejeile. We think these guys are very good players but sorry they are not, if the next coach continues with these players, nothing i tell you will change. We need to inject younger players especially from the local league who are hungry for succes.

We've been deceiving ourselves, we longer have quality players abroad even some of the players people feel keshi left out are not as good as we think. Having a home based super eagles is the way forward.

I agree with the essence of what you said viz that we build a new team. I also think that about 7 players in the present team be retained to fight for shirt in the new team. Get a good home based team purely based on merit and hunt down our best players in the world and bring them into the team while we develop our league and solidify and nurture the youth teams. Plus, we need a great coach.
