Shame shame shame on u Igbos & Yorubas here being so mentally tiny u want to use every opportunity to exhibit tribalism. I realise that all tribes have both great & worthless people. d worthless people in each tribe become tribalistic because they want to get the personal values they lack in their tribe. fortunately, what matters most is YOU & not ur tribe.

Those of u criticizing Dino just for THIS, find out if u are really being objective or just plain disgruntled. Above all else, we need leaders who are socially close to the people to not only understand but also feel their problems instead of leaders who lock themselves away in ivory towers.

So dis my fainting don enter NL? **faints again**

naijaking1:
The military designed constitution gives them the right to grave anywhere in Nigeria.
Start with getting your representative or senator to join Igbos in repealing this obnoxious provision in the constitution

Pls, stick to my question: to what extent does the trespass law apply already? Does ur answer mean it applies to all else except nomads? If so how?

Pls, may I use this opportunity to ask those of us who know better: to what extent can crop farmers use the law against trespassing to save their business from nomads & ultimately save the country & d world from imminent food insecurity stemming from the recent rise in nomads' attacks? (genuine advise needed)

Good it happened in church at least.

This is it:

Ask yourself: What tasks will be required of the person who fills this position? What kinds of skills do you have that will ensure your success at performing these tasks? Think broadly about your past experience. Think about volunteer work you may have done that could be applicable. Just because you weren’t paid to do it doesn’t make the work any less real or valuable. Write down these examples. Know them. You should be able to find ways throughout the interview to talk about these skills easily and readily. Which brings me to my next point.

Also check out the picture below. Then read the rest of the above advice here: http://www.forbes.com/sites/ellevate/2011/08/03/the-interview-your-most-important-presentation/#b07db0e614b6

And never be jobless in your life.

Why is the average Nigerian so religious & yet so ungodly? Who says this reveals an attempt @ islimization when both CRS & IRS are both to be replaced? Can't u see the neutral name to be given the new subject? Why not wait till u have good reasons to think it's an islamization ploy before u so allege? I have to say if things are as reported here, then my view of Buhari as a religious bigot has changed.

CHIJIOKE1314:
I don't get, whose kitty-kat are you referring to..

Oga, u seem to think everyone on NL is sane. Do u go about responding to mad people in ur city?

johnmartus:
I will sue federal government if African traditional religion is not add to it all these strange religious that affecting our life i think its high time to speak against it

I AGREE, ONLY THAT 'JOHN' IS UR NAME - A NAME FROM A 'STRANGE' RELIGION (IN UR WORD)

Onyochejohn:
what is this one saying!

Don't u know what he said? Then, u must really be mentally challenged.

Most replies I've read stinks with sheer hatred & PHD (Pull Her Down) syndrome. All of u who hate her hate her only because you can't get where she is. Nawa 4 human race.

I was a kidney donor in a Nigerian hospital in late 2015. That gave me opportunity to interact with a couple of kidney patients, doctors (including non-Nigerians) and other donors locally. I have been thinking of sharing some of my experiences regarding this, but I have been forgetting until recently when someone was telling me about a kidney patient he knows and some problems he was having about getting help in Nigeria. So, I believe my experiences might benefit someone out here who may be having a challenge in this direction. Then, coincidentally, I just came across a passage of This Day Newspaper uploaded only 2 days ago saying Nigeria records 17,000 new cases of kidney diseases annually.

We can reduce this with more information. For example, my friend who called me was talking of the difficulty in getting a donor (he actually called me to speak to a prospective donor who was apprehensive of undergoing the surgery, being that I have passed through it). So, if you have a loved one who needed your help in this regard, you can take some points here. The point is, even if you don't have money to give, there is something better than money you can give without really losing anything.

So, talking about my experiences let me say the much I can here: I donated to a dear one. Before that, I underwent intensive medical check-up, long orientation and then, documentation. The first set of the medical check-up was to ensure that I matched with my receiver (blood group and all); the second set was to determine I was healthy enough to donate. The orientation was to ensure my decision to donate was informed. Then, the documentation included court affidavit and personal data filing.

On the day of the surgery, I was placed on anesthesia during which I lost consciousness completely (not even a dream!) until later I saw myself after the surgery had taken place (about 8 hours or so, later). For me, that was some idea about how death would be eventually.
Before the surgery, I was asked not to eat for some hours prior to it. Then after it, I did not eat anything for 24 hours (may be more) but I didn’t feel hungry because I was often placed on drip. I was in the hospital for post-surgery medication for two weeks before I left.
During the experience, I learnt so many things I could never have learnt unless I passed through it such as: 1. Pain-reliever consumption predisposes you to kidney problems. Of course, it gets to be risky only through over-consumption. So, stop taking paracetamol or panadol at every opportunity you have to. 2. It is not just anyone that could donate a kidney to anyone. Apart from matching the blood groups of prospective donor and receiver, there are a ton of other considerations 3. As the medics told me, it hardly ever happens that one kidney would have problems without the other having. So, you don’t have to live carelessly thinking ‘if I lose one, the other continues’. Also, if you donate to a loved one, you have saved a life without losing any of yours.
One thing I noticed after donating the kidney is that I have naturally become less careless in the way I live. For example, I naturally (without struggles) gave up smoking and heavy consumption of alcohol. These habits are equally as dangerous to a one-kigneyed as to a two-kidneyed person though (from the above expert views, that is).
There is nothing I could do before the kidney donation I can’t do now.
This is all I can say for now. NOTE: I’m not a doctor and so, this can’t be taken for medical advice. All I know about this is from being a donor.

It is a HP laptop with Intel Celeron CPU (N2830 @ 2.16GHz) and runs on Windows 8 (64-bits). It was bought brand new in August 2015 for N85,000 but I'm willing to sell far lower than this. You can still see some of the nylon packaging on it.

It has 2GB RAM; 500GB hard disc; web cam (15.6"; Bluetooth; HDMI; LAN; WiFi; Card reader; Full USB (3); 4 browsers pre-installed (Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Opera) and more and more.

The battery lasts for 5 hours when fully charged.

The receipt is still in tact. I have a high quality bag for it which did not come with it when bought but I am willing to sell it together.
