Paruz1015: Anatomy ke the simplest course in medicine Are u a doctor? Or are you studying medicine? You can't understand anatomy fully until you start practicing, in fact, until u are doing your residency in surgery. Anatomy has no particular format. I learn by knowing the "hows and the whys". You can't understand why an artery is medial to a vein in one structure and lateral to a vein in another structure. You just have to cram.I don't learn that way. Everything I know in medicine, I have reasons to back it up... |

Eledan: Stones at Tinubu and co right? This PDP ashewo girl is getting involved with politics that can easily mess her up. We are not discussing boobs enlargement here. Typical of Nigerians, this is the single reason we are not growing in this country. Attack the messenger and leave the message. Jonathan messed up, the people complained ( ipobs were against the people) Buhari was voted into power( without the supports of the ipobs due to tribalism.) Buhari has done worse than Jonathan (the zombies still support him) Now there's a protest against the bad governance of this administration (the ipobs won't join because they feel they warned others beforehand, which is baseless) When Jonathan was misbehaving prof wole soyinka and others were quick to criticize his government, now Buhari is doing worse they are quiet. Then you see someone calling them out, you attacking the person. No unity! no one voice! we will continue to be like this until we unify and speak in one voice. If not, the solution to this country remains true federalism or secession |

This nairaland doctor no go kill me. Doctor plus Kush.  She's most likely just having hormonal imbalance. A patient who has a dead baby in her womb for that long would have long been dead from disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. About six weeks after an incomplete abortion, the dead baby decays and causes serious infection. 4 months is too long not to have come down with an infection. Meaning her abortion was done completely. Hope you learnt something?  |

How would you legalise such fee? On what grounds? The claim that one won't be disturbed further after paying for foundation is laughable. Why not make it illegal to reclaim a property immediately after sale. Or better still get a cheap fixed price for the foundation fee because I trust this omonile guys. They will slam outrageous fees on foundation soon People got killed when it was illegal, I wonder what will happen now that it's been legalised. |

Drive cars on which roads!?
Let them use that money to complete roads and set up a task force to monitor the activities of the local govt arms..
Cos those people just sit there and eat all the money, allotted to their areas... No good road inlet into streets...
There is a street in my area that's gradually turnin into a mighty hole... Yet the local council representive in this district turns a blind eye to it... Saying the lagos govt has not approved money to fix the roads in in his constituency...
It is appalling that people in the majority have lost their senses in this country cos if they have not.. Why do they keep voting inept people into power...!? we need not condemn every action of the government. Whether or not the roads are fixed, Nigerians will still buy cars. Though it's not up to 1℅of the measures to be be taken in order to grow the naira which we all clamor. So therefore, it's important to allow the system work and not criticize nor fail to patronize. One thing Nigerians do not understand is that a failure of any government is a failure of Nigeria and Nigerians. |

10 Tips And Tricks To Learn Any LanguageAdvice for learning languages from a guy who speaks nine. BY JOHN-ERIK JORDAN 1. KNOW WHY YOU’RE DOING IT
This might sound obvious, but if you don’t have a good reason to learn a language, you are less likely to stay motivated over the long-run. Wanting to impress English-speakers with your French is not a very good reason; wanting to get to know a French person in his or her own language is another matter entirely. No matter your reason, once you’ve decided on a language, it’s crucial to commit:
“OK, I want to learn this and I’m therefore going to do as much as I can in this language, with this language and for this language.”
2. FIND A PARTNER
Matthew learned several languages together with his twin brother Michael (they tackled their first foreign language, Greek, when they were only eight years old!). Matthew and Michael, or the Super Polyglot Bros. as I’d like to now refer to them, gained their superpowers from good-ol’, healthy sibling rivalry:
“We were very motivated, and we still are. We push each other to really go for it. So if he realizes that I’m doing more than he is he’ll get a bit jealous and then try and outdo me (maybe because he’s my twin) – and the other way round.”
Even if you can’t get a sibling to join you on your language adventure, having any kind of partner will push both of you to always try just a little bit harder and stay with it:
“I think it’s a really great way of actually going about it. You have someone with whom you can speak, and that’s the idea behind learning a language.”
3. TALK TO YOURSELF
When you have no one else to speak to, there’s nothing wrong with talking to yourself:
“It might sound really weird, but actually speaking to yourself in a language is a great way to practice if you’re not able to use it all the time.”
This can keep new words and phrases fresh in your mind and build up your confidence for the next time you speak with someone.
4. KEEP IT RELEVANT
If you make conversation a goal from the beginning, you are less likely to get lost in textbooks. Talking to people will keep the learning process relevant to you:
“You’re learning a language to be able to use it. You’re not going to speak it to yourself. The creative side is really being able to put the language that you’re learning into a more useful, general, everyday setting – be that through writing songs, generally wanting to speak to people, or using it when you go abroad. You don’t necessarily have to go abroad; you can go to the Greek restaurant down the road and order in Greek.”
5. HAVE FUN WITH IT
Using your new language in any way is a creative act. The Super Polyglot Bros. practiced their Greek by writing and recording songs. Think of some fun ways to practice your new language: make a radio play with a friend, draw a comic strip, write a poem, or simply talk to whomever you can. If you can’t find a way to have fun with the new language, chances are you aren’t following step four.
6. ACT LIKE A CHILD
This is not to say you should throw a tantrum or get food in your hair when you go out to a restaurant, but try learning the way kids do. The idea that children are inherently better learners than adults is proving to be a myth. New research cannot find a direct link between age and the ability to learn. The key to learning as quickly as a child may be to simply take on certain childlike attitudes: for instance, lack of self-consciousness, a desire to play in the language and willingness to make mistakes.
We learn by making mistakes. As kids, we are expected to make mistakes, but as adults mistakes become taboo. Think how an adult is more likely to say, “I can’t”, rather than, “I haven’t learned that yet” (I can’t swim, I can’t drive, I can’t speak Spanish). To be seen failing (or merely struggling) is a social taboo that doesn’t burden children. When it comes to learning a language, admitting that you don’t know everything (and being okay with that) is the key to growth and freedom. Let go of your grown-up inhibitions! 7. LEAVE YOUR COMFORT ZONE
Willingness to make mistakes means being ready to put yourself in potentially embarrassing situations. This can be scary, but it’s the only way to develop and improve. No matter how much you learn, you won’t ever speak a language without putting yourself out there: talk to strangers in the language, ask for directions, order food, try to tell a joke. The more often you do this, the bigger your comfort zone becomes and the more at ease you can be in new situations:
“At the beginning you’re going to encounter difficulties: maybe the pronunciation, maybe the grammar, the syntax, or you don’t really get the sayings. But I think the most important thing is to always develop this feel. Every native speaker has a feel for his or her own language, and that’s basically what makes a native-speaker – whether you can make the language your own.”
8. LISTEN
You must learn to listen before you can speak. Every language sounds strange the first time you hear it, but the more you expose yourself to it the more familiar it becomes, and the easier it is to speak it properly:
“We’re able to pronounce anything, it’s just we’re not used to doing it. For example the rolled r doesn’t exist in my form of English. When I was learning Spanish there were words with the hard r in them like perro and reunión. For me, the best way to go about mastering that is actually to hear it constantly, to listen to it and to kind of visualize or imagine how that is supposed to be pronounced, because for every sound there is a specific part of the mouth or throat that we use in order to achieve that sound.”
9. WATCH PEOPLE TALK
Different languages make different demands on your tongue, lips and throat. Pronunciation is just as much physical as it is mental:
“One way – it might sound a bit strange – is to really look at someone while they’re saying words that use that sound, and then to try to imitate that sound as much as possible. Believe me, it might be difficult at the beginning, but you will. It’s something that is actually quite easily done; you just need to practice it.”
If you can’t watch and imitate a native-speaker in person, watching foreign-language films and TV is a good substitute.
10. DIVE IN
So you’ve made the pledge. How to proceed? Is there a proper way to go about learning? Matthew recommends the 360° maximalist approach: no matter which learning tools you use, it’s crucial to practice your new language every single day:
“I tend to want to absorb as much as possible right from the start. So if I learn something I really, really go for it and try to use it throughout the day. As the week progresses I try to think in it, try to write in it, try to speak to myself even in that language. For me it’s about actually putting what you’re learning into practice – be that writing an email, speaking to yourself, listening to music, listening to the radio. Surrounding yourself, submerging yourself in the new language culture is extremely important.”
Remember, the best possible outcome of speaking a language is for people to speak back to you. Being able to have a simple conversation is a huge reward in itself. Reaching milestones like that early on will make it easier to stay motivated and keep practicing. And don’t worry, you won’t annoy people by speaking their language poorly. If you preface any interaction with, “I’m learning and I’d like to practice…” most people will be patient, encouraging and happy to oblige. Even though there are approximately a billion non-native English-speakers around the world, most of them would rather speak their own language if given a choice. Taking the initiative to step into someone else’s language world can also put them at ease and promote good feelings all around:
“Sure, you can travel abroad speaking your own language, but you’ll get so much more out of it being able to actually feel at ease in the place you are – being able to communicate, to understand, to interact in every situation you could possibly imagine. |
