This is the problem with Nigeria. Any attempt at making progress in whatever form is always seen as anti-North because the north is always a clog in the wheel of progress.

- Stop killing fellow Nigerians in the name of religion and politics, Northerners say it is anti-north

- Take Polio vaccines to reduce the statistics of children with Polio, Northerners said it is anti-north

- If we attempt to thrash mediocrity by scrapping federal character and zoning and enthroning merit, northerners would not be able to compete for positions on merit and they will say it is anti-north

- Let there be resource control, Northerners say it is anti-north

- Let there be constitutional conference, Northerners say it is ant-north

- Let us restructure the country, Northerners say it is anti-north

They only need encouragment, not discrimination.

Identical twins are a random event that happens in about 0.3% of pregnancies throughout the globe. Fraternal twins, on the other hand, are a different issue. Incidence rates vary from region to region and average to about 2.3% in the world.

That number is higher in the West and will probably keep rising due to the advent and increasing use of fertility drugs and in vitro fertilization, both of which raise the chance of double or even multiple ovulations.

Also, the recent trend of older moms has increased the rate of multiples.As women age, their pregnancies are more likely to yield twins. Older women have the FSH hormone present in their bodies due to natural changes that come with age.

There are many different reasons why a couple might want to have twins. Some women only want to go through one pregnancy so having twins gives you a full complete family all in one shot. Some women have trouble conceiving, a twin pregnancy may likely be her only one. While some people like me are just simply fascinated by twins. If you are one of these women you might want to get a yam cookbook.

I’m no genetic scientist, but I say it’s worth a try if you really want multiples. At least consciously incorporating more yams in your diet does you no harm, and besides it’s better than some dangerous tips advocating progesterone creams, and the prescription drug clomidto conceive twins.

Obviously this is not a fool-proof way to try and have twins as nobody knows how much yam one has to eat. Also, it’s uncertain whether the effects of eating yam on a woman trying to conceive are immediate or cumulative. Most importantly, nobody has provided any specific explanation or medical evidence that could prove that yam consumption can cause multiple births.It’s pure speculation.

While eating a plate full of yams every day may be just plain silly but at least it has no real negative effects, and there is no harm in trying. You may just get lucky.

By Bimpe Adea
If you are a woman of a certain age, better think twice before you down those plates of yam, or you may get pregnant with twins. Did you know that [size=18pt]a small town in Oyo State called Igbo-Ora has the highest number of twin births in the whole world?[/size]

Population experts say that the small town of about 100,000 people in the south-west has the world’s highest twinning rate. In fact, on the road going into the town there’s a large stone plinth which welcomes visitors to “the land of twins”.

While recent accurate figures are basically nonexistent, a study conducted by a British gynecologist, Patrick Nylander, between 1972 and 1982 recorded on average of 45 to 50 sets of twins per 1000 live births in the south-west. A more current survey estimates a twin birth in 1 of 22 births; this rate is about 4 times higher than anywhere else in the world.

This is quite a remarkable phenomenon, but nobody seems to be quite sure why this town should be more twin prone than anywhere else on earth. However researchers have long speculated that it’s the diet that can help explain this statistics, specifically the daily diet of yam!!!

What?!! Yes, yams. Apparently it contains phytoestrogen, an estrogen compound that increases a woman’s Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), and may induce a higher rate of ovulation. This chemical component is concentrated in the peelings from yam, and it has been linked to a hyper ovulation—the release of more than one egg, which usually leads to twin pregnancies.This theory has me completely baffled.

Obviously yam is a staple in every Nigerian home, but yam is central to Yoruba people’s diet. We eat it boiled; fried, roasted, pounded, and dried yam is grounded to make amala.So can yam really be attributed to the high rate of twin births in the south-west? Many scientists believe so, and women trying to conceive in western parts of the world are desperately looking for yams in order to boost their chances of having twins.

Double pregnancies occur either when a fertilized egg is implanted in the uterine wall and develops into a zygote which splits into two embryos, in which case the offspring results in “identical twins;” or when two eggs are produced and fertilized and implanted in the uterine wall separately, in which case the offspring results in “fraternal” or “non-identical twins.”

insects are very rich in protein and iron.... research.



[size=18pt]but op.... hmmmmm

where or when did the UN(F.A.O actually)refer to 'starving people'[/size]?

Ok sir, a word is enough for the wise.
With over 6years experience and wealth in active trading and investments like this(local and international), i can see that indeed you have a good intention to empower your clients, also you have found a presently highly profitable programe. Kudos bro
I just want to caution that only less than 6% of investors gainfully profit in the longrun, from programs as such. Please dont forget to emphasis this to every client buying your stuff. Wish you success and goodluck to the clients



Note: take down that image, its actually a link for the internet gurus with deep insight.(blame it on google)

Below is a caption from the ranking website you use.

Its not proper, all nigerians have freedom of movement nationwide, u are voilating the constitution. Fulani's just like everyother nigerians have freedom of movement. Delta shouldnt start what they cant finish. A typical herdsman isnt a criminal. Yes, there are those that habour criminals, that shouldnt justify bannishing an entire set of people. It is wrong approach to a serious problem.

Turai Yaradua once led Nigeria to the global nuclear summit in Geneva. This is time for "chop-i-chop" governance. Please, others should wait for turns. It's called national cake. Too bad

You are paid 40% daily yet you still want to hustle N1,500 from other folks? HmHmmmm
ebook things

Okay

people are playing politics

what i said is President jonathan has only stabilized the N/Delta, not found total peace, and this vital peace enjoyed, should be supported by all means for it to continue

[b]"at no point did i mention of any dire consequences if the president isn't re-elected".

"the president has not come-out in anyway to say, he will run for 2015"

"if he has done well, he like any other Nigerian deserves the right to seek re-election, no statements or continuous intimidation from any body or group can stop him, this is a democracy, the absolute power lies in the hands of voters".[/b]

Kingsley kuku(S.A to President Jonathan)....

i did not in anyway say what was reported in the papers

[quote author=eagle,eye]My dear, please can you list those sustainable developments?[/quote]Take a tour of SE/SS regions, and take note of all the facilities and institutions that were established since the resumption of civilian rule in 1999. do u still hear shouts of marginalization? fine, this govt isnt doing the best for now, but go and ask people on ground, what are the noticeable difference between this era and that of 3 decades of northern military oligarchies. my dear, it was 3 decades of dark ages for the SE/SS. LISTING THE ITEMS HERE WOULD ONLY GENERATE UNNECESSARY/BIGOTRY ARGUMENTS. ITS TOO EARLY FOR THAT. JUST TAKE A TOUR.

[size=20pt]middlebelt governors over to you now, Nigeria must break the chains of fuedal oligarchy forever. Cast away the born-to-rule cabals, who are holding us back[/size]
This isn't about Jonathan or ethnic politics, it's all about sustainable developments . Don't get it twisted,

Give them grazing reserve

Its a fact that this geopolitical region is the reason nigeria is still united as a country.
However, with the upsurge in religious and tribal wars in the region, can we say that block voting and politiking is over now?
The mutual trust between the northeastherns, northwesthernerns and that of the middlebelt, is it threatened to the very foundations?
Can a berom, eggon, tarrok, idoma, tiv, igala, or all southern kaduna tribes men ever vote for an hausa/fulani muslim candidate?
Can we say thesame of the taraba, nassarawa or adamawa indigenious xtian people? Do we still have one north?
Would there be peace in the north again if any christian from the region emerges as president?
Can cpc or APC ever present a christian northerner as presidential candidate?
Then can someone explain to us what one-north is all about?.
With all these ethno-religious mistrust amoung the north, can hausa/fulani ever have power back without the usual military coup?
Now that the middle is wiser, the southsouth bolder, the east re-empowered and the west calculating what next, , will any military coup not lead to another unknown event?
Are these the very reasons why some people blindly say that Jonathan must do two terms for peace to reign?
What were the C.I.A analysing before forcasting doom for 2014?
Do we remember the US proposed trainning nigerian army for counter-insurgency in 2010? Long before all these voilence? Can president jonathan lead this nation out of this looming crisis?
Whatever the answers maybe, the unity or disintegration of this great nation lies in the activities or inaction of the geopolitical north, thats my opinion! But is the one-unitied-northern nigeria still available to save this nation again?

13volts brain

We talking abc, you are explaining xyz

ckkris: These terms are not always practical. Elections are by AK 47 if you really want to win. Even the American Supreme Court also rigged in President George Bush, two times. That is after flying voters vote first in Virginia, cross the potomac river by ferry, and vote again in Washington, DC. Political theories are just that. Germans say REALPOLITICS, & some brilliant students say poliTricks.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]Plateau should be on the list because it is the epicentre of the violence in Nigeria.[/quote]I live here, 95% of towns and LGAs of plateau have peace and tranquility for a long time now. Dont be cowed by armchair journalism. Similar to benue too.
Its not logical to grind down the govt and economy of a state just because of less than 2000 voilent cattle normads, who dont concur to modern governance or cultures. Forget about state of emergency, support and regulate fulani actlvities, then peace will reign in middle belt

searay: bros you've violated the 21st commandment.
I'm not saying that the man is guity but judging from what I read that Enugu had a sticker in his Hilux is enough reason he should be anihiliated. Please don't forced me to violate the 2nd commandment ooooo. This is my opinion.

U need to go and study the book 'better
grammer' persistantly bro, its never too late

[size=20pt]what is benue and plateau doing on that list?[/size] see executive nonsense >:

Lol. CONSPIRACY THEORIST >>>>

dailywealth1967: Hey,this is a perfect setup by Hausa/Fulani cabals."Ombaste" doesnot exist.Hausa/fulani militias actually attacked these policemen,SSS and other operatives.Nigeria Police force is into a massive cover-up.Please,could the names of NPF killed be published.Lets,know who were killed and from which tribe.

coconut head: Majoority of guys on NL are bunch of mofos. How else do u expect the suspect to just willingly confess to his crime without the use of some brute force.mtcheeeew

The greatest of such 'mofos' are those coconut-heads that still foolishly believe 'brute force' is best for gathering evidence. They are too ignorant

to understand simple things as HUMAN RIGHTS or FORENSIC INVESTIGATION.

Poster, run for your own good, ita a very dangerous deal. I am sure your friend has no govt lincense to operate a loan scheme, if that defaulter makes a case, police will fleece you dry and your car held as exibit, its a lawless country dear

The nigerian police is just about to messup bigtime, more than the cases of gov. Oshiomoles P.S, mohammed yussuf and others, they better handle this differently cos the world is watching

searay: Anybody where get mind to betray this number of people to death no be human. So no human right is violated.

What proof do have that he betrayed his colleages? Dont jump into conclusion after seeing signs of torture.
