you are above 45. indimime generation can't those names.

I just checked on my ID and it's exactly 45..Lol

MyAmericandream:
Do you hate usher this much that you forget to put him on this list? Even Jennifer Lopez I no see.

It's true I am not an Usher fan but dude has been consistent. I read he recently received a life time award . I agree both Lopez and Usher should have been on the list. So is Eve, Aaliyah, Alicia Keys, Brandy, Christina Aguilera, Melanie B...Lol

Honestly it could take forever to make a list of the 2000 musical greats. After publishing then I remembered Fabulous should have been there too..Lol

THRASH LIST

You need to include joints like -

*Fill me in,Seven days,Rendezvous or Walking away by Craid david.

*Luv you better by LL cool J.

*My Boo by Usher.

*I need a girl Pt 2 by P diddy.

*Differences by Ginuwine.

*Gangsta lovin by Eve.

*This i promise you by NSYNC

*You know that i love you by Donell jones.

*Crazy by Kci and Jojo.

*Fallin by Alicia keys.

That's a good add on. Truth is it will take an entire day to compile a comprehensive list. I just downloaded I need a Girl part 2 and frankly it is the most interesting part. Diddy a music exec then was good with tactical flows and gentle jump giving a shine to these videos.

I made a list of my own too and forgot Alicia Keys one of my favourite musicians..I love the master stroke of her album Dairy but Falling was popular and far reaching.

Kci and Jojo now a shadow of their once vibrant self had some good hits. Usher though not my favourite is a true giant from his , You remind Me hit. He recently won a life time achievement award. Dude has been consistent..

There is also the late Aaliyah who was a force with her Resolution hit. Eve and Queen Latifah who later went into acting were two great female rappers. One could never make a complete list in just one article. You'll remember some talents like Brandy, TLC girls, Christina Aguilera, only after you have published the article..Lol

Major7:
You’re sure a music lover that have taste. Missy Elliot was one of my favorite but I consider her freaky at times😁. You’re old as well mehn😂

Thank You..I definitely do have varied taste in music some as old as the 50's with genres spanding, Makossa, Rhumba, Soukous, RnB, Salsa, Afrobeats, Disco, French Blues etc.As for my age I am between 40 and 45. These days it is too risky to have a single age..Lol

waice6571:
You must be that crazy DJ that unforgettable night... Jamz althrough.

Nelly ft Kelly Rowland.... 🔊Dilemma🔊 will continue to live on rent free on our minds.... FOREVERMORE

I'm just a music lover with a varied taste that includes "Water no get enemy of Fela", Take A Message to Mary by the Everly brothers of the 60's, Mama Mia of the Abba's in the 70's, Daddy Cool of the Boney M of the 70's and Barnabas of Kiss Daniel of this era..Lol

Dilemma of Nelly ft Kelly Rowland brought Kelly to the front stage after being overshadowed by Beyonce all through her carrier days at Destiny's Child. The airwaves were heavy. Nelly was already an A list established rapper often ranked as the best those days.

Willie2015:
Try an give credit to Shaba ranks...
B/4 Shaggy take the stage ..

Shabba Ranks was good even winning a Grammy for best reggae album in 1993 . I still have his Mr Lover Man and Ting a Ling a Ling, Chaka Demus and Pliers too were good defining Jamaican music with the dancehall reggaeton offshoot. However these stars had their glory days in the 90's and thus couldn't be talked about in a 2000 piece

hotwax:
genZ wont understand a single line in your writeup.

I still feel music has left the planet...thank God for Afro-hiphop thats bringing the vibe in a little way they can, american music is dead..thanks to their woke, dreadlock gang crying on microphone in the name of singing...

once they lace their teeth with metals and dreadlock hair, they feel they know how to sing..

and you must now look ugly so people can believe you know how to sing a.k.a seyi vibez...

As for me, I stick to my old school songs, if u come visit me or you attend my party, thats what i play..if u don't like get out...

my car is loaded with rkelly, Joe, Puff daddy and mase...

Each time I watch a YouTube video of an American classic the comments remind me of Cry the beloved country.. You can feel the pain of every commentator in regret and shock at how American music has degraded as good old memories float the air..

In the past ten years I have listened to very few American songs done after 2014. In my huge repertoire of musical collections I only have Bruno Mars's Smoking through the Window alongside Leave the Door open and that's evidently cos they are sounds reminiscent of an era..

Little wonder Taylor Swift is being worshiped cos there is nothing in the name of quality to match her songs I suppose. Not like I know any of her songs..

As much as I am not a big fan to most Afrobeats I still enjoy Kiss Daniel and several big hits to the teeth gnashing of the sagging trousers and tainted teeth American newbie hip-hop stars

Chazzyboy:
where's Awilo

He is in Longomba..Lol

Bros Dem di talk romantic songs you di talk zaiko..Lol

The will never be an era like the 90's and early 2000's in R&B and music in general. Back to back hits were the norm with strategic rhymes and beats to match..It was a magical moment in Western urban music..

In addition to your list,

Craig David's album Born to do it, smashing tracks like I am walking away,Seven Days, Fill Me in was a hit of it's own class amongst Africans

50 Cent, In Da Club took Hip hop to a different level

Beyonce after a successful pompous carrier as the head of the Destiny's Child paired up with Jay Z to bring to air Bonny and Clyde and a host of other hits

Shaggy's wasn't me brought other Jamaicans that forever defined dancehall with greats like Kevin Little, Wayne Wonder, Rupee, and Sean Paul etc..

Rihanna's master stroke Umbrella ft Jay Z, brought another star to behold..

R.Kelly after a successful 90's carried the momentum to the 2000's with his critical acclaim TP2.com album of salacious hits. Fiesta Remix was the bomb. Ignition, Chocolate factory, Trapped in the closet, You saved me, Happy People..

If you grew up as an African teenager and didn't know Joe Thomas then you weren't on planet earth

Akon brought his own style in the mid half of the 2000's featuring with almost every A list artist

Sisqo after a successful career with the group Dru Hill unleashed the dragon in 2000 with a tinted hair and style to match

Timbaland, Timberlake, Missy Elliot, Katy Perry, Nelly Furtado, Black Eyed Peas...It's a never ending list of good music..We should talk about the 90's sometime so greats like Keith Sweat can be celebrated too..

Bill Clinton was a republican president.


Biden really messed up in the eyes of the youth with how he handled Israel Gaza. Trump is surely coming back

Tell us more about Clinton's Republican status

Disrespect, hoodlums, lies, violence, sexual assault, marriage and a tale of a bittered daughter who allegedly doesn't want to be corrected.. Sounds like a poorly script Nollywood movie featuring Destiny Etiko as the fifteen years old daughter, Tony Umez as the swollen eye step dad, the late Stella as the girls mother, the late Ernest Isuzu as the head of the thugs..

zealousayo:
Thank you very much sir.
I went to a private hospital. The doctor that attended to me (over 34 years experience) also did not recommend losartan like you said. I was given an injection (don't know what it's meant for) and six different drugs. I think Relodipin is the only antihypertensive among the drugs. He also said I will take the injection for three to four days.

I am glad to hear you took an alternative path. Losartan is a very good medication but not a first line for moderate hypertension that isn't compounded with other issues like diabetes and left ventricular hypertrophy. It's biggest gain is in diabetic nephropathy where it helps improve kidney function for people with diabetes...

Relodipin is an Indian Pharmaceutical brand of the active ingredient Amlodipine and it's a very effective antihypertensive. Don't forget to cut down on sait, eat plenty of vegetables and fruits and stay active ...All the best

Don't forget to put a bit of cow dung into the coke before gulping...Lol On serious note you mentioned low blood pressure without giving your blood pressure numbers.

Low blood pressure referred to as hypotension literally translates to blood pressure that is below 90/60 and carries the risk of insufficient blood flow to important organs like the heart, brain, and other parts of the body.

Even at that most experts agree only in the case of symptoms can one truly be described as being hypotensive..

I do a lot of free street blood pressure monitoring in my community and do meet people whose blood pressures are 80+/40+ that are perfectly fine and can't be said of being hypotensive (Common with the female gender). The typical symptom of hypotension is dizziness ( feeling as if you will faint).

To be able to better guide you let's know your blood pressure numbers. Where did you get your readings? Do you feel like you will faint? Are you drinking enough water? Do you have any other health issues?


This is the last reading she got, 62. She is in her late thrites and a mother of 1. As at this morning, the only complain is light headache, pains in the legs and tiredness. Any idea of what to do

In the absence of pictures of her reading, just do well to state her blood pressure in the systolic/ diastolic order
As you can see from the picture I attached, that's my blood pressure reading this morning which includes my systolic, diastolic and heartbeat rate (pulse). At such my blood pressure this morning is 106/67 and my heart is beating at approximately 78 times a minute.

Hypotension has a bucket of causes and in instances where there is pronounced symptoms that affects the individual, treatment is based on diagnosing the root cause to appropriate treatment. Different causes are dehydration, blood loss, pregnancy, emotional stress, certain heart diseases, internal bleeding like ulcers that causes blood loss, certain medications etc..There is no need to panic, let's start first by ascertaining there is hypotension in the first place.

Blood pressure comes in two numbers. The systolic which is the pressure exerted on the arteries when the heart beats and the diastolic which is the pressure exerted on the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats.

Where has she been monitoring her BP? In a health unit or at home? If it is at home can you send a picture of her last reading that includes the BP monitor.. If it is at home have others used the monitor too without low results? So many questions cos I want to first ascertain on the validity of the BP machine used especially if it's a home unit..

I lost an immediate sister twenty years ago to diabetes. She was just 19years old. At sixteen one of my sisters already had blood pressure as high as 200/110. Then one morning, 8 years ago, I got up to a blood pressure of 260/154. Today My BP is 115/65. It has been a journey of faith, commitment, discipline and grace..It is safe to say I come from a family with genes that are prone to endocrine disorders.

Essential hypertension happens to most people as they get older. For teens and younger persons hypertension can be caused by different reasons. It could be primary as seen in obese kids or secondary as aresult of hormonal issues, kidney problems etc..

Looking at your prescriptions, Amlodipine a calcium channel blocker is a good first line. However I am a little surprised it is being associated with Losartan an ARB instead of a diuretic like HCT which is a recommended first line for blacks . I don't know the specifics of your blood tests so can't question your doctor's choice.

However my honest opinion is that you see a specialist for consultation. An Internist or Cardiologist would be better choices. They would start by running a comprehensive blood tests to check on your kidney fuction, lipids, electrolytes etc. Based on your specific symptoms he might want to check on hyperaldosteronism which causes an excess production of aldosterone that shoots the BP, hyperthyroidism that produces excess hormones that fasten metabolism and stiffen the arteries etc..

Wishing you all the best..

First things first the conclusion to that research is one that ascertains that there is not enough data to support the generalization of paracetamol and risk taking cos the conclusions were presented without acknowledgement of the limitations of the study.

In this day of social media traffic, monetisation, subscribers etc, media articles often always dramatise these findings. In the case of this research presenting the potential correlation between acetaminophen and risk taking as fact. It is unfair to readers to sensationalise the associations seen in controlled experiments in an attempt to generalize the study’s findings.

Every scientist agrees the discussions and conclusions presented in publications appropriately highlight the limitations of studies at such must work to assure that the public does not sensationalise preliminary and limited research results...

Acetaminophen alias paracetamol is safe at the right dosage for what it is intended to treat anytime anyday. Period

Good evening my fellow Nairalanders . How y'all doing? Hope y'all had a great day..

Well, health they say is wealth,but little did I know what that saying meant,not until I found myself on a hospital bed, screaming for help.

Just last week,I thought I was gonna exit this world,prior to how I mistook my health for granted and how it almost later cost me my life..........Last Week's Monday, precisely on that fateful night,I made my toilet my bestie as I frequented it almost every single minute of the night...... Vomiting wasn't left out as well..... Honestly,I thought that'd be the end of my journey in life,cuz that was certainly the first time I experienced the symptoms and Pains that came along with it

The following morning,all I could remember was that I found myself lying helplessly on a hospital bed..

A female nurse was the one in charge and after running few tests on me,she later broke the news to me that I was suffering from cholera .
"Cholera? Like WTF? Like how did I contact cholera? But then I had to calm myself down, immediately I remembered it must had been the constant kunu,zobo and sachet water which I've been drinking recently that must had resulted to it.

Then I remembered how the news of cholera outbreak hit Nairaland's Front page but most of us took it for granted.......But little did I know I was gonna be it's victim........

Please dear Nairalanders,the cholera out break is real and it has claimed many lives just like we were told by doctors and nurses..... please let's be mindful of the kind of water and other liquid stuffs that we're consuming.......

Dominique.

You concluded your write up with the name Dominique. I take your name is Dominique or you suspect you were infected by Dominique..Lol

Unlike you many haven't been lucky from the devastation of the Vibrio cholerae bacteria that causes cholera. I am glad to hear you made it and is able to spread a word of awareness..

There is an effective oral vaccine for cholera that offers as much as three years protection. In Cameroon, my country of origin there is a pilot exercise that targets vulnerable areas.. However epidemics do occur.

The last was three years ago that devastated the coastal city of Limbe. I know a few prominent persons that died. However since then the source of the epidemic was traced and appropriate measures taken to prevent recurrences.

Mounting evidence gives about three years of immunity when you recover from a cholera infection. Stay safe though
