dahmie2013:
Please tell me what solution your so called "pragmatism" has provided. Autism has been with us so long, yet ur "pragmatism" has not brought any solution.

Op, your solution lies in Jesus. God created that child, him alone can cure him. God is the manufacturer and he has spare parts for everything he created.
That's a good question. In Nigeria and some parts of Africa the probability of even reaching such diagnosis is scarce and even if such a diagnosis is reached it's never on time. I know of several Nigerian families that their children were given similar diagnosis when the kids were well into their early teens. If I may throw ur question back to ur face, why then did their religion fail them?
Ur comment and I quote "God created that child, him alone can cure him. God is the manufacturer and he has spare parts for everything he created", true as it maybe is very myopic and misleading.

Autism spectrum disorders does not have a cure, atleast not in the sense of that word. Pls I don't mean any disrespect, but U should educate urself more about an issue before u come to comment and show ur ignorance. Google really explains ASD very well, u should do well to research it.

Don't get me, I am also a believer but I don't believe blindly. I believe with reasons. Besides Bible says and I quote "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead"- James 2; 17.

Pls lets be pragmatic with information and reasons. Bringing religion and God into this discussion will only complicate the topic. Let's keep it simple cos blind belief would not solve the issue. There are parents suffering cos of this and children who are not getting their needed therapy because of lack of information. Thank you again.

Please you don't have to quote me cos I didn't reply you. You should learn to respect people's opinions and views without looping into it. Give your own suggestions and let others be. This is what I believe in and I own you no explanation on why I should hold this believe. So please, stop quoting people unnecessary. Proffer your own solution and move on. I am a Christian and I believe in the power of prayers, which has been working for me and my family, so if you don't believe in it, that is your business.
U can keep ur beliefs without attempting making others swallow it and the topic in question is more important than your beliefs.
Besides, replying ur words comment for comment will derail us so pls let's move on. Cheers!

Mcslize:
Read the write up and understand it very well. The op is simply saying, ladies should not always have that mindset of "it is a wealthy, already made man" they must marry as most ladies have already conditioned their minds.

He is simply saying, if our entitlement kind of ladies of our days see a hustling guy who is being able to fed for himself and has a hustling spirit, they should wait no further to start a life with such a man.

All already made men are wise now because no already made man or wealthy man will just accept a girl and marry her straight up cuz many had be gold dig by ladies.

And any lady that is coming closer to them displaying all form of niceness, they will sense it from afar as a gold digger. They will believe that it is because of their money they are flocking around him. He will never marry any of such girls that flock around him.

That's why our ladies should learn how to start life from scratch with a man not always looking for already made men who have wise up.

An autistic child and a child with down syndrome, which is worse?
I do understand the question but the word worse is rather harsh here. U won't understand till u are in the situation. It depends on the grade of autism or how much the child can concentrate. There is no worse or better of the two cos they both have their own issues.

He didn't talk till age 5 plus.
However now he is on a regular schol and his IQ is above average.
It was a long battle.
Please start by using the teaching aids that interest him.
People criticised me for letting him so long on the computer but that was the way i wsd able to reach him initially.
I have made a video where I spoke about my journey.

Don't worry your child will definitely grow out of it. From experience, just ensure your therapist is a good one and make sure you confides in the class teacher so that they can gently follow him up in class and also to avoid harsh reactions towards him as a result of him not coping faster like his mate in class. Remove sugar from his meal and follow up with folic acid. But most importantly, call upon our God who alone can correct every anomalies in our system and I believe he will heal your child and make him whole in Jesus Name amen!
Do not be afraid, encourage him, get him a lesson teacher also from the school. Surround your house with educational materials, so as to enable him constantly see them and memorise them gradually.
PRAY AND CONTINUOUSLY PRAY TO GOD AND BEFORE YOU SAY JACK, YOUR BOY WILL BECOME THE BEN CARSON OF OUR TIME. GOD BLESS OUR CHILDREN IN JESUS NAME AMEN
It's good Nigerians are religious but pls let's be pragmatic about this and discuss this issue without complicating it with religion. Thank you.

Thanks but there’s nothing to correct. The keyword is “rarely” and “almost never”. I did not say there are no black doctors in Germany. If they are scarce and very few, then it constitutes the “rarely”. I appreciate your opinion though.
Yes I noted that rarely u used hence my comment. In the hospital I am currently in, there are around 5 black healthcare professionals I have seen so far and it's a small hospital. Anyways, thanks for the reply. I do follow ur posts sometimes. I saw some of the stuffs u mentioned in Frankfurt, that was some years back.
Anyways cheers!

I don’t even think @drnoel is in Germany. Compared to blacks population in Germany how many are in professional (degree wise) jobs let alone a highly regulated field like medicine.
I really didn't make the observation I did so I can come here to confirm or not confirm ur suspicion. U have every rights to ur opinion. Pls leave me out of it. The fact that the OP hasn't met many doesn't mean there ain't or there are few. Berlin is a big city, probably the biggest in Germany. I doubt the OP has gone to every regions of Berlin to be able to say for sure. My brother worked in Berlin once and did say he saw a few, this was like 4-5 years back. Anyways, it doesn't matter how many there are. My apologies to the OP for derailing his thread.

Danielhouston:
I studied Economics (master) and I currently work at Zolando (a fashion and lifestyle company) in Berlin. That’s where most foreigners in Berlin work because you can work with English. Most jobs in Berlin are English speaking and international because there are many start-up companies here. Most people in Berlin work in IT.

I have done menial jobs like working at DHL, Amazon, Volkswagen, Edeka and factory work. The best were Amazon and Volkswagen. Even as a student you can get paid up to €2000 a month working there. They usually offer short term contracts to students and especially in Christmas season when there are high demands.

The first company I worked for was an agency that was recruiting for big factories. The manager was very racist and rude. Most black people working there did not have a choice because they don’t have papers or couldn’t find a better job. The Germans usually put Russians and Polish people as supervisors in those kind of companies because they are racist and can treat black people like slaves. Very hard job to carry heavy equipments. I quit on my first day. All the black guys I saw walking there could not stand straight.

After I quit, I filed a complaint about the company and promised to expose them and get the press involved. I hated the way they treated us. They eventually closed down the agency and reviewed the working conditions.

I also worked at Frankfurt International Airport. They scrutinized me for that job, including requiring a police report from Nigeria because it’s a high level security job. The experience was great, I met lots of travelers and got good tips but the salary was small as a student.

Many blacks here usually do “Ausbildung” (vocational training) that qualifies you to work in a specific field. Most of them work as nurses, at the airport, at a car company, or working with old and disabled people. It mostly the refugees that do this. Some with German passports do it too.

You will not find a black person working in the bank or at the front desk of a hospital. You’ll rarely and almost never see a black doctor. The day I went to a dentist in Berlin and my dentist was a black woman, I cried. She was smiling and crying as well. You rarely even see a black bus or train driver. Only a handful.

Berlin is an art city and most black people here are Black Americans who are artists and on a freelance visa. You’ll also find lots of Black Brits. A lot of black people in Berlin have professional jobs and are well paid to the standard of Berlin. Most working in IT or a start up company.

A lot of blacks here are refugees as well and most of them depend on “Hartz iv” (government benefits). They just sit at home and receive money from government every month. They receive from €600 to €800. It is an obligation of the government to support the non-working class. You’ll need to be refugee or German citizen to qualify for that. Also need to prove you’re unable to work and you’re trying to get a job.

In summary, you can get a professional job after you study. Just don’t sit in one city. Try other cities. I discovered that mostly Africans don’t like to change cities. They become comfortable getting their chicken change instead of moving to a better city where life would be better. Also try to learn German.
Lol, pls let me correct this. Yes, black doctors are scarce but they are a few. I don't know about Berlin though but I can say for sure we are quite a few wink. We just tend to hide a lot and we don't go telling people what we do. Cheers!

Dear Experienced parents and child development experts,

I have a 4-year old child suffering from mild autism which was discovered when he was two. As a concerned parent, i have taken steps by spending a lot in hiring speech and behavioural therapist, and seeing a development pediatrician with some success achieved at least in getting him stable to be able to absorb what he's being taught in class.

With diagnosis done confirming the mildness, i was encouraged to allow him do things regular children do which will help him grow out of the disorder.

Now i noticed that he has memory challenge in terms of ability to retain and recall information especially in his study which is a big concern to me. He also dislikes reading and writing but enjoy visual-based instructions.

In light of above, i need help from parents who have gone through this challenging phase with such kids and also autistic child development experts on how I can help my child over come the short term memory problem,repetition of words, writing and reading.

Please help!!!
U are already on the right track. Don't relent. I know ur pain. My son was also given the same diagnosis. He has speech difficulty, is active and doesn't concentrate in school. Then again we are not taking the diagnosis just like that, we are always in contact with his paediatrician, his child psychologist, his speech pathologist and many other colleagues involved in the whole thing. Just continue what u are doing right.
Family › Re: Autistic Child: Please Help by drnoel: 2:52pm On Aug 13, 2020
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior. Although autism can be diagnosed at any age, it is said to be a “developmental disorder” because symptoms generally appear in the first two years of life.

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), a guide created by the American Psychiatric Association used to diagnose mental disorders, people with ASD have:

1) Difficulty with communication and interaction with other people
2) Restricted interests and repetitive behaviors
Symptoms that hurt the person’s ability to function properly in school, work, and other areas of life.

Autism is known as a “spectrum” disorder because there is wide variation in the type and severity of symptoms people experience. ASD occurs in all ethnic, racial, and economic groups. Although ASD can be a lifelong disorder, treatments and services can improve a person’s symptoms and ability to function.
The above is copied from American mental health.

In Nigeria this spectrum goes undiagnosed in most cases. One would ask why it is so easily arrived out in outside the shores of Nigeria. Is it due to better knowledge of the spectrum because more cases are seen there or overdiagnose?
In Europe this diagnosis is immediately given to every active child. My son to was given this diagnosis to my greatest discomfort. The only thing here is that I am knowledgeable of certain facts of the disease being that I also work in the health professional, though psychiatry is not my area.


This epistle is in reply to @MrsC143 statement about parents in Nigeria taking their children for testing. I don't mean to state a contrary opinion to hers here and do agree with her as regards the testing. But I do shy away a little from taking to much faith in whatever impression they tend to arrive at in Northern America and Europe. I say this cos I know from experience that some impressions they make are not true in all totality. I mean as parents we ofcos want the best for our children but we should be ready to contest a diagnosis that may not completely cover the interest of our children without bias.

I have seen studies that stated in clear terms that this diagnosis is reached to quickly.
It would be nice we discuss this issue here, who knows we may help someone shed more light on what he/she is experiencing with their children.

PS: MrsC143, I actually tried reaching u directly but couldn't. So I decided to highlight this here so u can see it and comment.

ok first, ARE YOU YOUR FRIEND?
because if you are a THIRD PARTY... then this matter does not concern you o.

Your post shows you lack details on what transpired or you just refuse to share.

also... A MAN WHO RECEIVED MESSAGE FROM HIS WIFE THAT SHE IS LEAVING... SHOULD NOT BE SHOCKED IF HE COMES HOME AND FINDS THAT SHE HAS LEFT.

LASTLY... it will be very very improper for any of us here to judge this matter without hearing from BOTH PARTIES... your assumption that they LOVE each other that they can die for each other is a TOTAL LIE....

To judge a matter by hearing from ONE PARTY is really not right, but to judge it by hearing from THIRD PARTY(you) will be very unfair.
They have parents and relatives... pls allow them sort it out and keep it out of nairaland.

PEOPLE SHOULD STOP BRINGING PRIVATE MATTERS TO THE PUBLIC. The public didnt choose their marriage for them... public opinion is not usually right.

ARE THEY NOT MUSLIMS OR CHRISTIANS? The cleric/pastor who joined them together should also help if both family's relatives are failing to correctly resolve the matter...


Your post is too VAGUE for any counselor to help or interfere. If you are not the spouse and its truly your friend, pls leave this matter and keep the internet media out of it.
Details is not necessary. We don't need details, cos it's an internal issue. Doesn't concern us. The reason is cos 3rd parties are usually regarded as enemies of progress after a couple settle an issue. If they love eachother then this won't break them. But one person has to play the fool for peace to rein. Elders that said "In marriage there is no pride", knew what they were talking when they said it. Once u marry a wife and start having children by her, both of u have to learn to throw pride outa da window.

iTearHerToto:
OK first of all I need y'all to close your eyes and imagine this. Rosy a non-virgin is your girl you been smashing for six months and you have lost counts on how many times you have fvcked her. Right? You smash her pussy from left to right and north to south. Now even with a gun on your head you literally can't give specific number of gallons of cum you have deposited in her pussy those six months y'all dated. Right?

Now let's move on. With your eyes still closed. Do not open till I say so

So you broke up with Rosy or lemme put this way: you got tired of her pussy cos its width no longer excites your dick then you migrated to another fresh tenacious pussy. Now Rosy is heartbroken cos she just got used and dumped. Now she hates men and transmuted into an embittered feminist thereafter. No no no lemme trash this part it's gonna confuse souls. Now with your eyes still closed let's assume this paragraph is excluded from this write up. So Trash it!

Now let's do it this way briefly. You banged Rosy for six months then you guys split. Rosy then meets Tom and the pussy gets widen more for another six months. Then otunba shows up and so men and so forth till she's worn out then passed unto to some unfortunate nice guy to wife. Right?

Now ask yourself these few questions.

1. You lost counts how many times you came in Rosy right? Yes

2. Number one implies that Tom, Otunba and other subsequent men that smashed the punna most probably lost counts of how many gallons of cum they have poured in her now-agape-punnanni as well. Right? Yes

3. Now let's say she's 28 and ready to settle down and she be fvcking since she was 17. That's 11 years of gallons of cum in her punnani. Right? Yes


OK lemme not go further but by now I think someone should start seeing the answers for themselves cos we just arrived. Now open your eyes.

Take my word. Virgins are scarce tho but you got to find one else you end up with one of these cum tanks. It's either I stay unmarried than marry a non-virgin girl. I just get to be fvcking these non-virgin hoes till they are worn out then I pass them to these nice guys. Cos that's what they are meant for. Wife no hoe man you can only make them baby mamas and that would be you doing them some great favor too.

However, if you got a golden heart unlike me you should go try marrying one of these cum tanks and tell me how that works out for you. Come tell me what it feels like swimming in a cum factory for the rest of your life. Just try!
As for me and my entire household we will rather snatch a virgin wife from a nice guy and wife than settle with a non-virgin for a sec. Am I communicating?






NB: Non-virgins should steer off this thread for their own good. Move move move

U are a child and have no idea about anything. Ur epistle says it all. U should be flogged for wasting our time with this trash. I pity adolescents who grow up with this rubbish mindset. They don't make them anymore like they used to.

First of all, I never thought I would be part of those seeking for emotional help here but I just need answers. So there is this girl I met few months ago. She's based in Ogun state while I'm in Lagos. We met in school. We both attend Funaab but I'm a final year student. We started the friendship with fights because we never agreed on anything. Soon enough we started understanding each other and getting closer. She has come to Lagos to see me severally. We talk almost everyday. She calls me, gives me green lights and leads me on. Inorder not to waste anytime I asked her to officially be my girl and she told me that she doesn't like me as much as I like her but she's willing to give it a try. That felt weird for me because relationship is supposed to be about both parties having mutual feelings but she said she would grow to love me since she already likes me already, I'm someone she can love and she's new to the guys liking her more than she likes them at first... Thing is I really love this girl so much but I don't want to go into any thing that would make it seem like I'm forcing myself on her or she's dating me out of pity. So my question is can she grow to love me as she said. Note: she's not a gold digger. She's probably richer than me, and I'm not doing bad too. Should I go on or just move on?
Please I need answers quick and pardon my typos. Thanks
This is just talk. Ladies have a way of misyarning things they never would have said if they had thought about it on a good day. There are many examples that I have come across in my little experience, I will post the most hilarious I have heard so far;

1) A lady I knew told her hubby, then boyfriend that he was too small for the people she normally associated with. shocked shocked

2) Another one told the guy that came to marry her that she knew he couldn't perform in and outside the bedroom from just looking at him. shocked shocked The guy was smallish around 5'2 ft. But his JT was almost 12 inches shocked shocked. The coded nickname we used for the guy was "horsepower". Ladies didn't know why we called the guy that. Lol, I can confirm that the day horsepower had his chance with her, she ran out of the room clutching her pants grin grin. We had landlord tenant meeting for days after that incident.

3) Another one told her prospective MIL, my aunt that she had met men better than my cousin that came to marry her. The question was then why did u agree to marry her son. Wedding was postponed ooh. Come and see family intervention. The lady in question refused to walk back her words ooh. If not for the doggedness of my cousin and the pressure I placed on my aunt. Then cos I knew the lady, I explained to her how she bleeped up. She still no free she messed up but her MIL had written her off by then. Anyways, fastward to few year ago, lots of fights and family problems from MIL and then fastforward again till now. Lady in question finally agrees she messed up big time, that her hubby is the best of the best. That she got a goldmine. The hubby, my cousin just dey smile cheapishly. He loves her like mad and I know she does him too. But that misyearn could have costed her her happiness.

4) My Wifey once told my mom that she doesn't like how she popnoses into our matter. This was before we even said "I do". Ofcos my mom didn't take it lying down. It took, several white chicken, white goat plus palm wine and kolanut to settle the issue. My mom didn't talk to her for months after then grin grin. U women can keep malice eh!

These are a few of then I remembered from the tip of my finger. This epistle is getting long so let me conclude.
OP, don't let what she said worry u. U Just have to be sure about her and if u are then slowly try to make her see she misyearned and apologize for the silly talk.
Cheers!

nnadychuks:
I don’t think I need to explain much. Whenever I Remember the conflicts that arise between my uncles and my dad, I begin to wonder if their relationship started from childhood.
They should be friends just like I and my siblings are right now, but every time they’re either having a land dispute or money argument. I perceive there’s not much love between them.
Some years ago my dad was involved in a fatal accident which I believe is the cause of his Parkinson’s disease.
While sitting quietly in church last Sunday I was called by the man of God to see him after service.
He made mention of the exact date my dad had the accident and that one of his brothers was the reason behind it.
I’ve not been myself this week, I even wonder if I and my siblings will live happily after we’ve All gone our separate ways.
What causes the hatred between themselves is what I don’t know, but I’m willing to avoid by all means.
I’ll accept views from all angles because a family issue should be handled with care

The reality is, with the settings of governance then, Igbos thought they will rule Nigeria forever.

The initial setup was actually designed to favor Igbos.
Modified:
Azikiwe (an igbo man) stood against secession by any tribe even when leaders from other tribes wanted it in the constitution.

Azikiwe teamed up with the north instead of Awolowo because he thought they can be easily manipulated.

Ojukwu (another Igbo man)foiled Adaka Boro attempt to secede and ensured he was jailed.

Aguiyi Ironsi (also Igbo) returned the country back to unitary system.

But when they realized that the political system was no longer in their favor, and their soldiers were relegated in the Nigerian army, they wanted to secede and take other minorities along with them in Biafra.

They are both young,my guy is 28 and she 25.
So if he starts rooting large bills from an unrealistic woman now it might mar his dreams a lot.
So he wants to know what she earns possible so he can judge If she is self sufficient first or not.Shey you understand?
That's always the problem Naija men have. This fear to approach a woman that is already established, be it from self effort or otherwise.
He is already breaking his head to answer questions he can't even before he has met the lady in question. Why don't he approach her first and speak in clear terms with her, hear her answer then decide. Na wah ooh
Romance › Re: A Lady I Was Toasting Insulted Me Because Of My Height by drnoel:
MRAKPORS:
Hmm

I am 5'2 and financially ok
I proposed love to this lady who should be about
5'1 but she turned me down saying I am too short

Please is 5'2 also short? I am tired o
Nothing new there. I know of a lady who insulted a friend of mine that came to toast her. Let me call that friend of mine "X".
Those days in the past before we all settled down, I was interested in her friend but this lady was always busting in on us disturbing, cutting into our conversation and alone time. It was obvious she was very jealous of her friend and was prepared not to give me and her breathing space or the chance to get to know one another.
So I got my very good friend involved, my wingman. Nice guy, very friendly and animated when one gets to know him, he was a ladies man and loved women like crazy. But this lady never even gave him a chance to strike a convo. Her problem from the start was his height, he was 5'4 ft. I couldn't understand her problem to say the least, she too was not tall. She was 5'6 ft. But no, she was a living hell for the guy all the time we were there. Used his height to make his live miserable. He only stayed cos he wanted me to atleast score before we left. On our way home I asked him why he didn't come to interrupt me. He said "guy, I didn't mind being miserable but las las let my man achieve him aim". We guy no get stress!

So fast forward some years later. Lady I was into then was wed, married someone else. We were at an event, precisely "X" trad wedding. Since we knew the ladies, we kind of kept in touch. I was opportuned to sit close to them.
That one that kept insulting "X" was so pained. U could see it in her face, I wonder why she even came if she knew she couldn't take it. I then overhead her say to her friend quietly "how could I have been so blind, now he is marrying someone else". Her friend replied her, "we kept telling u not to compare other people with ur ex. Sit down there and take it. Just don't cause any scene". I did tell my friend about it like an "amebo". Told him at the wedding immediately. My guy was even so belovalent enough as even to walk up to her while he was dancing with his bride and asked her to join him on the dance floor where he introduced his wife to her. After she left the dance floor, she locked herself up in the bathroom and cried her eyes out saying and I quote "this could have been my trad". Yes, when I didn't see her sitting with her married friend, I sought her out and found her crying in the toilet. That was then, I was young and mischievous.

brother, why would you say it means nothing? It means everything mehn. There's no friendship and love between them anylonger and you say it's nothing. It's better for him to leave now in peace and count his lost and move on to someone who loves him because it will be a living hell when there get married by force. Little things will cause commotion in the house, there'll be no peace in that house if they get married. Infact I can continue to talk about the consequences, it's better for him to leave now and look for someone else.
The loss of love is only on one side i.e. on the woman's side. The man may still love her or may not at all in the first place. It's his loss that is paining him. All the investment and money spent, that's his pain. Then add his ego to it, that is a cocktail no man alive should wish to be in. But then, I have seen a similar situation where the man took the bull by the horn and still wedded the lady in question. Vorbade her from seeing the man she says she was in love with. It was outright war from the start with the lady seeking out for months to see the side guy in question till the side guy married someone else. Ofcos no one wishes such headache on another person but the decision is that of the man in question and not ours

So heart breaking
This means nothing. As long as she holds up her side of the bargain and doesn't attempt to murder the man then all is well. She has warned the guy so the guy should take heed. Ofcos he can marry her but he shouldn't make the mistake to bequeath anything to her as that may be a tempting reason for her to murder him. He trained her so she is someone, then he could get his children from her and let her go. Or she grows to love him latter. Woman are built differently and a woman that hates u now can love u later.
