ItsModella: Exactly. Alcohol has its benefits, it lowers the risk of heart disease and also lowers insulin levels thereby preventing diabetes.

Those are the ones I can think of off my head.

All that matters is moderation.

Never write such cr.ap again!

Man red: How ?

Drinking lots of water helps with the fever.. When you feel feverish, you perspire a lot , loosing lots of water and electrolytes in the process. This can lead to lots of complications , including death. It's always advised to drink a lot of water.. But I always advise people to go for sports drinks. They replenish the electrolytes in the body. If you can't get the sports drinks, add salt to the water. Hope this helps.

solidbroda: Doxycycline, tetracycline are antibiotics. I'm confused here. Why should I combine antibiotics with anti-malaria drugs? Doctors in d house, shed more light pls

Use of antibiotics are mainly for prophylaxis(prevention), but in the case of combining with antimalarial drugs, it eliminates the parasites in the blood and helps build a robust immunity and a long one at that against subsequent infections. Hope this helps...

eggheaders: pdp guys are bunch of coward nitwits.and to attairu jega it a disgrace how cheaply you selling your hard earned integrity.

All your problems must be caused by PDP... If a man runs mad, you will find a way to connect it to PDP.. It's a boring cliche already... Find something new...

pareto: The truth is that no matter how stingy some people may be, they cannot drop #20 if they have more. Most are poor. They cannot drop more cos they do not know how to get the next meal.

I think that this poverty thingy about Nigeria is overly sensationalized ... Even in my village, most people i know eat 3 square meals daily... What N20 can fetch you, it's equivalent in $ can never do so.. likewise a ton of other developed nations.. My opinions tho...

GOZILLA: Jude agbaso is innocent. This is a gang up against him. Rochas wants to disgrace him and his family name. We will see how dis patters out. But one thing I know is this- Rochas will pay for his treachery b4 his tenure runs out.

lol... no be una carry am for head vote for am? Anyhoo, I don't believe that this is all... There must be other internal wranglings btw Jude and Okorocha

engineerd: Is that a trick question?

Depends on what your brain can decipher or deduce from the question...

engineerd: dude or whoever started this forum...all you had to do to save your wasted MEGA SEGA BYTES was to post YORUBA WEDDING........and the rest! The rest part could just be summarized as -ve sophistication as you travel further west of africa -ve*5 sophistication further north, -ve*10 further east....using Yoruba wedding as a refernce....the rest aint worth mentioning! ODUDUWA FOR LIFE!

Are you sensible at all?

danjohn: The 40 laptops are fighting in full force. Buhari spoke the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Isn't the 40 laptop crap joke getting too old already? Find something new...

Eko Ile: He's too dull and incapable of emulating anything because he's visionless and void of credible and sane ideas.

He is the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Who the heck is your father?? A nobody... !!!

I can't remember you @op creating a thread when thousands are killed by terrorists... mtchew.. talk about misplaced priorities.. wasting some brain cells... Isn't she human?

I will continue to support Nigeria till i loose my virginity.

dgb4: Your guys should be specific! Mba means NO in igbo language



First goal by Mba

Mba, this time around, means to shout in a warning mode/form... dunno how to put it better

Mee234: the SS in that team is about 50%. And please grow up abeg stop being a tribal champion

You are the one that needs to grow up. SE means SUPER EAGLES... You are the tribal champion, since that is all you could fathom out of the sentence... Only thinking along tribal lines... Amu agwo nwuru anwu ka i bu.

phreakabit: [size=18pt]NO! NO! NO! NO!

We are Igbo's we aren't Jews. I don't know where this crap came from. It won't add anything to us for crying out loud. We are Igbos and should be proud of who we are. You can't claim to be the son of any man if he believes you aren't. [/size]

That is the spirit! I am IGBO! nothing less.

baysol: Delusive people no be them say they are Lagosians with 90% population. These peps yeye die, They a the epitome of the symbol that represents corruption. The Ijebus that have some links don't even Flaunt it. Much less the cockroach tribe of Nigeria that no one want to associate with for their crime, 419, yahoo yahoo,drugs name it. Mchieeew.

Your father represents the highest level of imbecility ..

kheart: Hehehehe so ibos re new breeds of jews afterall, but d diff is dat d real Jews use deir sense in tech while ibo jews use theirs for criminality. Smh

You never disappoint me with your enormous level of stvpidity. I think that this mo.ronic attitude runs from your maternal blood line.

Selasie_D: Nothing God makes is "wogggly", remember that!

I am a Nigerian, but I really admire your sense of maturity in the face of these embarrassing provocations. At the end of the day, you should see all these as just mere childish banters ... We are all Africans. Don't take them personal. One love

Abrantie: crooks vs hard workers

skin bleachers vs natural beauty

lol.. what a nice comedian...who dash you beauty? Ghana and beauty do not ever meet in the same sentence... If na lie, ask your mother... kidding oo..

hadbak: ur acusations are malicious. ur just beefing d arabs. Arabic is d language of d quran, its not just an arab thing, that's d angle u shld look at it from. Islam supercedes any culture or tradditn, Its language is arabic, take it or leave it.

NB: u shld imbibe speaking arabic in ur day to day life not English/yoruba..LOL!

I am no muslim, but what you are saying in essence is the allah will not understand you when you speak in other languages, apart from arabic?. This is the height of ignorance and complex issues. The Op is spot on IMHO. This also applies to Christians! I don't get the logic in bearing alien names. I was laughed at in my high school days because i have no English name.. What happened to our pride ? God created all mankind equally. That is the beauty of diversity. Don't you ask yourselves , why God/Allah didn't make us all a single race? This is the beauty of his creation.. DIVERSITY.. Never forget your roots!

Dignitary: Albeit the footages and images are interesting to watch, this cannot be said to be Nigeria's history!!!

The narrator started so well but in the middle of d flick, he allowed emotions (obviously motivated by his love for a particular tribe) to over cloud historical facts!!!

For instance,how on earth can the narrator contend that Awolowo betrayed Ojukwu?

The narrator also said oil was discovered in the east prior to the civil war? Is Niger Delta part of the East ? And this was even after the narrator had stated that the mid west region had been created in 1962! I can go on and on....



*I enjoyed watching the video tho'... But when will Nigerians choose objectivity over ethnic sentiments? Apart from d obvious ethnic bias,it was well put together.

Oil was first found in the east, hence shell camp being first situated in Owerri, Imo state.

DOD.:
Since I've been watching SE's match, this is the first tym I did not jubilate upon their goal. Why, cos I c dis whole selection of keshi as d continuation of d conspiracy amokachi started in USA 94. He's stil there as d ass coach n his influence is telling. Hence d selection of their own ethnic group alone n dropping of players that are still very relevant from other ethnic group. Shame on keshi

You my dear friend, do really have an enormous and incurable problem.. Are you daft? This is Super Eagles of NIGERIA... !!! Don't be a mo.ron .

I sense a lot of bitterness and acrimony towards doctors here. Someone said here , that it takes longer years to to be a nurse, or something like that... hmm.. the reason why they were called dunces I was a nursing student for 3 years.. no be nursing school o, but it was at Madonna university. Agreed, the stereotype is a wee lie, but many of them, are not so brilliant. Agreed too that some doctors are arrogant, but they don't compete with nurses. The doctor is the head of the medical team, anywhere in the world! Disregarding that, is tantamount to living in denial of that fact. They are symbiotic professionals . MBBS and Bsc are not on the same class. I respect nurses, but you've got to respect the doctors too. It is way easier to study nursing , when compared to medicine.. Have you nurses asked yourselves, " why are doctors paid far more?"

Kslib: No matter how professional the doctor is,him body must still sweet am.. Abi no be human being the doctor be.. Na robot..
It's like saying "you can train a professional bee to hate honey"... Better allow female examine you,or better still a gay doctor,ie..if you are female..

It's not true. when we go in for surgeries, as a student, I've seen countless girls and women being operated on and i feel NOTHING. unless you are a pervert.During auscultations and percussion, i feel ZILCH . That's what being a professional is all about. it's no big deal.

OMG!!!! the pictures are traumatizing !! can't even imagine myself in such conditions. Gosh, my heart goes out to them. The government should fix up this mess...

I'm optimistic too, but it seems i'm losing faith.

trekkie: surprise! another church bashing thread.
not really
everyone is entitled to believe what they want withougt having their faith bashed by non adherents.
@ poster while your comments reveal your ignorance, i understand where your heart is. i however will advise you to stop being the debris trailing the comet and use the time you obviously have on your hands in more constructive pursuits. faith bashing is ugly.

I am a christian i.e Christ's follower. Agreed, the bible advocates honoring our pastors, but you and your ilk have turned it into worship. You may call me ignorant, it's your opinion and i respect it, I also have mine, so should you. The bible states that we should call a spade, a spade. Our church leaders or most of them are crooks and do not teach the right things. Attack the post, not the writer. If you have a different opinion about any point, list your objections.

Copied from a friend on fb...

Provide snacks for Children Sunday School classes. This will help you save a little cash. Buying snacks by the church gate for kids before taking them to their classes? Shouldn't the offerings these kids give be used to make their classes more fun? I used to frown at Birthday celebrations that take place in Children classes, but not any more. If not for these celebrations, there will be no form of entertainment for kids apart from singing, clapping and dancing.

Stop telling little Kids who haven't started earning any income that not bringing offering is a sin. The parent's Tithe and offering covers them too.

Stop making members feel like God is some kind of magician who calculates the amount you give him and instantly makes you rich when you give big amounts. God is no magician, he works in mysterious ways.

Tell the congregation that God is interested first in you as a person. I am yet to see where God says that if you need a big car, you have to SOW your property or a huge amount of cash to get it. Tell the people that he is not a God of " The more you give the more you get"

Teach members that loud singing and clapping by 5am, Use of microphones early in the morning and late at night in residential areas can be classified under noise pollution.

Teach the congregation that Christians who are not members of your local church are also recognized by the creator.

Use part of monies invested in big Businesses for charity.

Provide for the needy from the purse without necessarily raising an offering every time help is to be rendered.

Build and buy musical instruments from accumulated Tithes and offerings without tasking members .

Build orphanages for the poor.

Build good health care centers in rural areas and even towns.

Build schools that are affordable. Schools where the offering payers and pledgers can send their children without going into debt.

Build low cost houses to reduce the number of homeless people on the streets. Some people go to church from uncompleted buildings.

Provide Scholarship for children of struggling members.

Care for orphans and widows in a physical way apart from giving them daily doses of spiritual food. Provide physical help aside from praying that God provides for them.

Pay the junior pastors well because they buy from the same market as other members of society and also have to care for their families and pay school fees.

Pay church workers. Those who dedicate all or most of their time singing while offerings are collected or serving in the church deserve to be paid a little something. I know students who spend most of their pocket monies on transportation to church on a daily basis. They have to be there because it is either that they are playing musical instruments for an event or teaching others to sing and play. When their money is exhausted, they either starve or begin to trek long distances to perform these duties at church pending when their parents send money to them. These students and even job seekers who are also church workers, is it scripturally wrong to pay them something?

Organize Christmas parties for kids without necessarily asking these kids to pay and get their receipts if they want to attend.What happens to children who cannot afford to raise money for these parties? They stay at home while the "rich kids" go and have fun in the house of the lord.

Organize holiday camps for students without collecting Registration fee from them. Churches over here are very rich and can afford to camp a few students without asking them to pay. That is what Jesus would have done. Is everything in most of our churches being monetized or what?

Provide portable drinking water for some rural areas where people have to trek long distances to get drinking water. This is a possibility. No single church can handle all the projects alone. However if every Big church did just a little that they can. This Society would have been a better place for us all.

Teach that it is not only members who should be giving to pastors, that Rich and Very comfortable pastors can also provide financial help to church members in need of help aside from prayers.

Teach that Tithing is not the way to heaven, Jesus is. Give sermons that will make the congregation realize that paying Tithe from ill gotten money does not guarantee blessings from God. Many members rush to pay tithe after "runs" and lying to obtain money because what they are taught is that only tithe payers are recognized by God. That, if you do not pay from every dime, you will either fall sick and spend that money at the hospital or get robbed. Some even teach that if you pay tithe, then you cannot lack, be in need or fall sick. So, does that mean every sick person has defaulted in tithe payment at some time in their lives?

Provide free transportation to church,i e for members who cannot afford it. Considering we are a developing country, there are many who really want to go worship in a church, but cannot afford even the subsidized rates.

Have a kind of giving back by way of providing even a free couples night a year, free Valentine's Day celebrations, or even a love feast sponsored by the Church. This is also possible. Who says a local church in Nigeria cannot organize a get together for it's members without members contributing or raising funds for it.

Make church books, audio and videotaped messages cheaper and affordable. These are quite expensive compared to other reading materials we get from bookshops outside the churches. Teachings on Modesty and Godly living are fast fading away. If only the churches can teach a little bit more on Modesty and Contentment, it will go along way in reducing corruption in our Country. What do you expect from a society where what you hear most Sundays is "Money Sermons" Money, Prosperity and a good life are what we all need, YES! But should that be the major Sermon Topics we listen to all the time?

I remember commenting today that when I was a child growing up, Children Sunday School was so much fun. Parents just bring their kids without having to bother about putting snacks in their hands. Kids were so well taken care of so much so that when you come back to pick your child after service, s/he just refuses to go home. Snacks and drinks are provided by the church for the kids on a weekly basis. These days, only very few churches still do that. Even the offering given by these kids is taken away. The only time you meet your kid taking a snack is when another child celebrates birthday at church. Any parent who forgets to get biscuits or a drink for her child, will come back and may be meet that child still crying, bored from just singing and clapping. waiting impatiently to be taken home.

I look forward to a time when we will see a few good roads built by churches in my country Nigeria.
I look forward to a time when charity projects will take the place of outrageously expensive suits, Very posh automobiles, Very expensive schools for children of the rich...
I pray and hope for a time when church leaders will begin to see that preaching prosperity does not completely delete the poor and needy from among us.

We know that the church is not the Government, so, what happens when the church begins to grow richer than the Government? Shouldn't it do a little something too?

Teach that the Israelites were commanded to Tithe, to give 10 percent of their income to God. The New Testament **doesn't repeat that command,** it teaches that ...
A. Giving is a privilege (2corinthians 8:4)
B. You are free to decide how much to give. (2corinthians 9:7)
Can you think of other areas where "The Church In Nigeria" can touch lives apart from prayers and sermons?
