For most people the Black Jack plant is an annoying weed, that grows fast to overshadow their crops. For others, their black seed is a weapon fashion against their clothing, when they use a bush path. As kids we attached the green empty holder of the seeds to our eye lash for playful amusement...

If you have been attacked before by the elongated black seeds of the black jack, it takes patience to pull them out from their hold on fabric. That though is their biggest mode of dispersal to propagate..

Widespread across the globe, but more so in the tropics where the heat serves for rapid reproduction, the black jack is now finding its place in the archives of scientific herbal medicine.

In Zimbabwe where it is known as Mutsine, the black jack is a nutritive vegetable and a part of a healthy cuisine, that extends to other countries of Southern Africa..

Packed with over 200 compounds it is extremely rich in Vitamin A and C, Fibers and Flavonoids, which gives it a both nutritive and medicinal value.

In Cameroon, Brazil and Venezuela, the liquid from the leaves serves as a potent astringent for healing of wounds..

Scientific research on its different parts now places the black jack as a potent medicinal source for hypertension, malaria, diabetes, diarrhea, Arthritis, Migraine, Cancer and Skin Care..

Instead of pulling off to rubbish the black jack from your farmland, turn it into a tea to reap of its amazing medicinal value...

What does owomowomo mean?

You seem to have relatives everywhere.

His great grand father had 86 wives.. Do you Gerrit?

kenex4ever:
You have to go look up the meaning of brag. Then reply again

You just did again..Lol

kenex4ever:
May be this is what you would have done if she was from ur tribe.

You are projecting urself.

How many times has Igbo bragged about winning miss Nigeria even though they have won it a lot of times??

Your people are even more tribalistic than south africans

You just bragged about it, and that's where the the SA problem is..

EmekaBlue:
South african black men are real savages... I haven't lived with them but I can imagine how wicked selfish and envious they will be. Tufiakwa

Yet you haven't lived with them..

God1000:
Better for her mental health and sanity


A society that still worship White people and always in moral panic when it comes to fellow Africans.

Can a South African compete as a Miss in Nigeria? That's the question you should ask yourself before battling with your keyboard

Bleep you and your prophet

That was harsh but definitely needed..Lol..A lot of these folks can be very annoying. The wound pass for the biblical Pharisees anytime, anyday. For rebuking him, go to any Palmi joint and get a bottle on Nwaimaikpe's bill..Lol

Egoat:
Does he need crowdfunding?
Why does it need to be made public?
You lost a child and the first thing that came to your mind is announcing it on social media.

I don't think any father would celebrate the loss of a son, not even if that son was a reincarnation of Anini. Duru is a media personality and his announcement for the most part calms the rumours that could swirl in such instances..

From his write up I wouldn't say it was a brief ailment. Looks like the little champ battled for a while before giving up. May God give Duru and his family the fortitude to sail through this time of pain.. RIP

RickyJesus:
Are you guys okay? You have every right to live your life as you deem fit but as long as it has a negative impact on your community/society that's where the line is drawn.

Why are there various agencies that are there to make sure that society adhere to certain rules? Why do you think those agencies are doing that? Some of you just support rubbish just to sound woke without applying common sense and logic to a discuss. What a waste.

Are you guys OK is the rhetorical question that should be shot back at you. How does Bob's lifestyle affects your erection at night? Is he breaking any laws of the land? Arguably no.

Would I want my son to be like Bob? Definitely not. Would I sacrifice him on the alter if he did turn out like Bob, definitely not.

Bob made his choice, one that doesn't break the law, give him a break and stop the "you people" holier than thou attitude..In Nigeria even a murderer and rapists think's he is morally upright to Bob.

RickyJesus:
We are beginning to act like this is normal.

His life, his choice, waytie concern you

Kaczynski:
All those are bs courses


Let her do electrical engineering, mathematics or computer engineering

Thanks for your input...She already went for the ICT course. The registration delay was yesterday

airsaylongcome:
No BSc Computer Science?

That was initially her first choice, but I think it is too mathematics centric. I would rather her get involve in an IT field that offers a diversification to stray during a Masters degree.. Mildly put I think she has the aura of a Business managerial role as opposed to a sit all day in front of the computer to mouse joggle with softwares..

tarboshi:
A specialized course like BSc in Computer Networking and Security or BSc in Computing Information Systems, will sale more than a generalized course line ICT.

She will gain more specialized skills in those courses than in ICT.

Thank you for your input..That's a good line too. My worry though is a specialized course at BSc might give little room for adaptation at MSc, in this era where a good job position comes with a Masters.. I also think the ICT might offer an air of business managerial courses like Digital Marketing, etc as opposed to specialized courses like CNS.. I would like to see her get an IT degree that gives her leverage in Marketing, Business Administration etc

janedonez:
Bsc ICT is all encompassing, she should as a matter of fact learn from other fields not captured in her main course, it puts her ahead of her peers

Good Lord. I had to double check if this came from me. Lol While responding to stainzvill's post I used the word encompassing to describe my little research on a B.Sc in ICT. And lo, your post was an explicit summary of my epistle. Thank you for the input

stainzvill:
My 2seconds thought...Bsc in ICT . she can specialize afterwards and carve a niche for herself

Thank you. Exactly my thought. Although her University website doesn't have a laid down module of courses offered, my research on ICT from other University websites, Quora etc, shows ICT is encompassing. Offering a bit of every module in the IT sphere. With a B.Sc in ICT, she could carve a niche in Masters based on her exploits in BSc..

MissKudoswrite:
Both are good

Thank you. I really want it narrowed to just one. Lol I want a path that offers a better route for self employment and entrepreneurship. Computer programming and expert web design and development inclusive. I might be wrong but Computer Networking and Security seems not to offer much in that sphere

My daughter is passionate about IT, and as an Entrepreneurial Father I owe her a duty of support. Having scored excellent grades in the GCE Advance Level Sciences, I would have preferred a carrier in Pharmacy which is connected to my field of expertise..

However as the world continues to massively shift to IT, the success of my business still heavily depends on computer based solutions. Consequently in the future I stand to benefit too from my girl's passion.

On my own research I found out the IT field is broad. However her prospective University has five distinct courses in IT. Narrowing down we are left amongst a BSc in Computer Networking Security, BSc in Information Communication and Technology and a BSc in Computing Information Systems.

To the geeks in the house, which of the three would you recommend as a promising carrier, for a well spoken and smart lady in her late teens..
P.s We live in Cameroon

Where do they get their gun powder and uranium and other elements used in producing nuclear weapons from?

Why do we have terrorists in selected areas in Africa where those elements are common there?

All students of history knows that this has France written all over it.

It's has long been a pattern. If you chase out France from any of her French colony especially a lucrative one, then prepare for a coup d'etat or state collapse from insurgency.

Since staging a coup will most likely be difficult due to the presence of Russian troops. What's the best way of starting a new round of insurgency in Niger than to begin by releasing captured harden terrorists.

Niger should get ready for a long ride.

A typical average African mentality. Someone must be put to blame and that person offcourse isn't he who is to blame...

Keep a plan B in place just incase....
