I have same growth and was so worried until I show my doc friend and he told me its just not a big deal, that we will cut it open and told me to read about ganglion cyst.

This is the growth

Born on 27 October 1956, Dr Ameyo Adadevoh was a Nigerian physician. Credited with having curbed a wider spread of the Ebola virus in Nigeria by placing the patient zero, Patrick Sawyer, in quarantine despite pressures from the Liberian government. She died on 19 August 2014 after a spirited battle after contracting the deadly Ebola virus. May her soul continue to rest in piece.

Saw this on FB and felt obliged to share it here.. The Brits who amalgamated and forced us into a union gave coined the name "Nigeria" for a people who had before the advent of British and other foreign slave traders had a standard government, culture and way of life. They shove their culture and way of life down our throat and gave us a government we understand not. Just so we can forget who we are. But instead of having a rethink, we all believe Mazi Nnamdi KANU or the Great Ojukwu is the problem...nah this are people who truly want to be identified with what's there's and not some forced alliance called Nigeria.

Please note that this country listed below started with a name coined by their colonial masters, but along the line they rediscovered themselves...

[b]*Brits named them _Burma,_ they rejected it and renamed themselves _Myanmar!*

*Brits named them _Upper Volta,_ they rejected it and renamed themselves _Burkina Faso,_ which means Land of Incorruptible People!*

*Brits named them _Gold Coast_ they rejected it and renamed themselves _Ghana!_*

*Brits named them _Southern Rhodesia_ they rejected it and renamed themselves _Zimbabwe!_*

*Brits named them _Northern Rhodesia,_ they rejected it and renamed themselves _Zambia!_*

*Brits named them _Tanganyika_ they rejected it and renamed themselves _Tanzania!_*

*Germans named them _colony of South West Africa,_ they rejected it and renamed themselves _Namibia!_*

*France named them _Dahomey_ they rejected it and renamed themselves _Benin!_*

*Belgium named them _Zaire_ they rejected it and renamed themselves _DRC_ or _Democratic Republic of Congo!_*

*And the list goes on and on and on.....!*

*But Brits named a bunch of people _Nigeria_ and _they will rather kill to preserve it than reject it!_*

*"It is only an animal that bears the name that is given to it by another person"___ _Igbo Proverb_*

The story they say is mightier than the warrior. Some of Reno's assertion are so true and yes white men actually distorted history

Trump: There's so much negative report coming out of Nigeria of late...from killer herdsmen killing and maiming citizens and no meaning effort or response from the government?
Buhari: Elections are coming up next year and we are trying to ensure our party wins. So Tinubu felt Oyegun is no longer suitable as our party chairman. And just like every elections since 2003, i have a block vote of at least 12 million. Thank you

This just same as my 2 year old son and his 5 year old brother. The 2 year old is first to get outta bed then kicks his brother and tell you want to wee wee on the bed ehn..I slap you now. D drama no get end o. Surely they will grow outta some of this, overall they're best buddies

saintade01:
I have a situation right now where the younger bullies his older brother.

He is 2 and the older is 4, but because he's almost the same height with the older one and a bit fatter, he uses every opportunity to ride his brother. Though the older is calm and homely, very gentle and highly intelligent, he even takes care of this younger one as a big brother but this boy will forcefully collect foods, drinks, toys and even his bigger bicycle from him.

I sometimes tell the big brother to beat him and stand up to him whenever he comes with his bullying but that most times results into fights and I don't like seeing them in wrestlemania.

Please parents with similar issues how do you tame them?

Wetin 18 keh, grandma wan do 81 ni o....with make up she dey like dis abeg how she go be without makeup...

Abeg always do your research well, a guard dog...yes,
Dangerous...yes. it's not Anatolian shepherd, very obedient and friendly with kids according to Wikipedia. What I read about the breed is totally different from what u posted biko

Drchristian:
Top of them all is the kangal

Also known as the Anatolian Shepard and it's originated from Turkey.The following are the characteristics of kangal from my own experience:

Less obedient to the owner especially during attack.


Hot temperament


Friendly to other dogs (it doesn't sees other dogs as threat).


Fiercely and wild towards strangers.


Defends owners even at point of death


Doesn't run away from attack


Excellent tracking dog. can be used to track human and animal movement.


Excellent hunting skills


Not a pet choice for children..it may trigger hunting instincts.


Often used for dog fighting which is not banned in many countries.


Kangal killed a female owner in ondo- state and ate her in Akure few years back.

Nigerians with killing and eating just any straying animal, and this green turtle is an endangered species.
The poor animal might be on a trip to lay eggs in the sandy beach, where the warm sand hatch the eggs but strayed into the wrong hand. RIP Nile green turtle. You older than those idiots butchering u fa. This turtle lives for 100 years plus

Olaudah Equiano (c. 1745 – 31 March 1797) known in his lifetime as Gustavus Vassa (/ˈvæsə/), was a prominent Nigerian in London, a freed slave who supported the British movement to end the slave trade. His autobiography, published in 1789, helped in the creation of the Slave Trade Act 1807 which ended the African trade for Britain and its colonies.

which fake story, Ngozi i know very well, shes a family friend. we both live in Elebu in Ibadan, the story is as real as real oh

InMyOpinion:
My thoughts exactly...its either the names are masked or the story is fake!

MDGsVISIBLE:
She was a Yoruba Christian. She was praying, holding my hands, saying that I should not let her die, that she still has little children at home. She then started behaving abnormally, talking irrationally and screaming, also convulsing intermittently.
At this point, I called a senior who came in, assessed her and told me privately that she won't make it. He told me to continue masterly activity which I did.

Hello Bro, from my point of view.. Though she was praying but her faith could no longer sustained her at the point of death,she needs a super faith so she held your hand. She recognized you as a Doctor but most importantly as a spiritual authority she can join her faith with( If two shall agree...)Next time , strengthen their faith(At the point of death human spirit is more sensitive to hear, see things both physically & spiritually, she saw in you a spiritual giant you are not even aware of)
You did your best as a professional & I do commend you. When she started behaving abnormally, it was your turn to take the spiritual authority & office to calm the storm(may be you even did)
When you called your senior, he did assessed her and told you privately that she won't make it. That's owk professionally but in your spiritual office that was evil seed sowed in your heart to believe she won't make it. He told you to continue masterly activity which you did. Like I stated, human spirit is more sensitive to hear, see things both physically & spiritually, she might have heard your discussion with your senior in her spirit & later saw all your masterly activity. It got her more in doubt why you are not exercising your spiritual authority despite she saw you as a royal priest hood & yet still acting like you care with the evil seed that she can't live anymore.
She came back to ask you why did you allow her to die..? But you did your best...that means there is something you would have done to save her...what's is that..?
Professionally you did all but in your Spiritual office you need to b awake. May be you have faith and healing ministry you need to step into along side been a clinician.
Also note that God strategically put you on a call duty that day because you will be the best man for the job(Spiritual office)...
I will advice you to visit her children at will, tell her family that's her concerned at the point of death..check them sometimes & give them your support.
Stay blessed @ duketunde

Wow! Your piece and summary is simply breathtaking

"I encountered the ghost of a dead woman yesterday night/early hours of this morning. Remembering it still sends chills across my body.
Personally, I don't believe in ghosts. I know that it is appointed unto men once to die, and after that, judgment follows. I said let me tell you, to hear your opinion. I don't know who else to confide in about this. I'm a doctor. I can't be telling stories about ghosts online. No one will believe it. I'll sound insane.

Yesterday night that brought in today, I took call for a colleague who was having menstrual pain. She begged me to do the call for her. Then, a woman was brought in with what I suspected to be post surgical sepsis. The op site was soaked with effluent from the wound. The surgery was done at State Specialist Hospital three days prior to presenting to us. Her temperature read "Hi" on the thermometer, which means her body was so hot that the thermometer could not record it. I called my seniors who were in theatre then, told them what I have with me in the emergency, and I took instructions from them. I secured IV access. I gave 2g of IV cefriaxone (Rocephin brand) stat, and IV Flagyl 500mg stat. She was going. I called my seniors again and told them temperature is not coming down after one hour. I was told to give IV PCM 600mg stat. I then reopened the wound, washed with NS, and redressed with savlon and povidone iodine.

She was a Yoruba Christian. She was praying, holding my hands, saying that I should not let her die, that she still has little children at home. She then started behaving abnormally, talking irrationally and screaming, also convulsing intermittently.
At this point, I called a senior who came in, assessed her and told me privately that she won't make it. He told me to continue masterly activity which I did.

She finally died after few hours she was brought in. I certified her dead in her file, disconnected all life support, and went to my house to sleep around 3am when the call got less busy. I was weak and sad. Did you know, this woman followed me home. I was shocked when I felt there was someone looking at me from my window. My body was shaking. I've never believed in ghosts, but she came to my window and stood there, with same clothes she was wearing when she was brought in. She said why did I allow her to die. I was lost for words for a moment, thinking I was dreaming. But damn, it wasn't a dream. I just drank coke from the fridge few minutes ago. I rebuked her in Jesus' name, telling her I did my best. I told her to go back to where she came from. She stood there for a while, looking at me, then turned and walked away. I heard her footsteps as she walked away. I didn't sleep again till morning. I opened the fridge and took out coke and drank, to be sure I was not dreaming, then started praying in tongues to control the fear in my heart."

What can be a reasonable explanation for this?

You may be among the over two million Android users who have been fooled into downloading a strain of malware – hidden inside normal-looking apps on Google’s Play store.

The malware giveaway is that the app cannot be uninstalled – and allows hackers to remote-control infected devices.

The malware was hidden inside 45 game guides for games such as Pokemon and FIFA on Google’s official Play store for up to five months between 2016 and early this year, with several reaching 50,000 installs.

The app enables hackers to take ‘remote control’ of devices – and has been used to display bogus, illegal adverts in user’s devices, security researchers Check Point say.

But the FalseGuide malware could be used to control infected phones as a ‘botnet’ – using them to perform hack attacks against websites and networks.

Though CheckPoint researchers have notified Google of the malware, and the infected apps have since been remove from playstore.

CheckPoint says, ‘Depending on the attackers’ objectives, these modules can contain highly malicious code intended to root the device, conduct a DDoS attack, or even penetrate private networks.’

According to a post shared on the timeline of Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, the Menlo Park, California based social media giant recently launched a tool that will help users contact their elected representatives on the social media platform.

See post below:
"We just launched Town Hall, a tool to help you find and contact your elected representatives on Facebook. We're starting to roll this out in the United States. You can find out more at: facebook.com/townhall
Building a civically-engaged community means building new tools to help people engage in a thoughtful and informed way. The starting point is knowing who represents you and how you can make your voice heard on the decisions that affect your life.
The more you engage with the political process, the more you can ensure it reflects your values. This is an important part of feeling connected to your community and your democracy, and it’s something we’re increasingly focused on at Facebook."

BREAKING:Four people are confirmed to have died in a car and knife attack on Westminster in central London, including a police officer who was protecting Parliament and the suspected assailant, who was shot dead by armed police.

The attacker, dressed in black and armed with two large knives, drove a car over Westminster Bridge, ramming into members of the public before crashing his car into the rails outside the Houses of Parliament.

Police said the attacker, who is believed to have acted alone, then entered the gates of New Palace Yard and repeatedly stabbed a male police officer. He was shot by the officer's colleagues.

Two people were killed when the attacker's car mounted the bridge's pavement. Twenty others were injured in all, including two people who were standing by the railings where the attacker's black Hyundai came to a stop.

Metropolitan Police assistant commissioner Mark Rowley said the attack had been declared a terrorist incident, and Theresa May is due to chair a meeting of the Government's emergency Cobra committee later today.

Mr Rowley said a major counter-terror operation was underway, though police currently believe there is only one attacker. "Looking forward, people of London will see extra police officers on our streets, and we could call on the support of military," he said.

A huddle of seven worlds, all close in size to Earth, and perhaps warm enough for water and the life it can sustain, has been spotted around a small, faint star in the constellation of Aquarius.


The discovery, which has thrilled astronomers, has raised hopes that the hunt for alien life beyond the solar system could start much sooner than previously thought, with the next generation of telescopes that are due to switch on in the next decade.
It is the first time that so many Earth-sized planets have been found in orbit around the same star, an unexpected haul that suggests the Milky Way may be teeming with worlds that, in size and firmness underfoot at least, resemble our own rocky home.

The planets closely circle a dwarf star named Trappist-1, which at 39 light years away makes the system a prime candidate to search for signs of life. Only marginally larger than Jupiter, the star shines with a feeble light about 2,000 times fainter than our sun.

“The star is so small and cold that the seven planets are temperate, which means that they could have some liquid water and maybe life, by extension, on the surface,” said Michaël Gillon, an astrophysicist at the University of Liège in Belgium. Details of the work are reported in Nature.

Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans, and people of the world: thank you.

We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people.

Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.

We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.

Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.

Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.

For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.

Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth.

Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed.

The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.

Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.

It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America.

This is your day. This is your celebration.

And this, the United States of America, is your country.

What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.

January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

Everyone is listening to you now.

You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.

At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens.

Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves.

These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.

But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

We are one nation – and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.

The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.

For many decades, we’ve enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry;

Subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military;

We’ve defended other nation’s borders while refusing to defend our own;

And spent trillions of dollars overseas while America’s infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.

We’ve made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon.

One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind.

The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world.

But that is the past. And now we are looking only to the future.

We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power.

From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.

From this moment on, it’s going to be America First.

Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.

We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.

I will fight for you with every breath in my body – and I will never, ever let you down.

America will start winning again, winning like never before.

We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth. And we will bring back our dreams.

We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.

We will get our people off of welfare and back to work – rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.

We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and Hire American.

We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world – but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.

We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.

We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones – and unite the civilized world against Radical Islamic Terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.

At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.

When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.

The Bible tells us, “how good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.”

We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.

When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.

There should be no fear – we are protected, and we will always be protected.

We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God.

Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.

In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving.

We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action – constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.

The time for empty talk is over.

Now arrives the hour of action.

Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.

We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.

We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.

A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions.

It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.

And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator.

So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words:

You will never be ignored again.

Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams, will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.

Together, We Will Make America Strong Again.

We Will Make America Wealthy Again.

We Will Make America Proud Again.

We Will Make America Safe Again.

And, Yes, Together, We Will Make America Great Again. Thank you, God Bless You, And God Bless America.

During Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony, one detail will pass unnoticed by most viewers – a man in the background with a black leather briefcase.

He will arrive with Obama, and leave with Trump – bringing with him the capacity to launch America’s vast nuclear arsenal.

The 45-pound leather suitcase – known as the ‘football’ – has accompanied every American President for decades.


Believe me within it is the power to put nuclear weapons into the air in less than five minutes.

What is in the box?

The suitcase contains communications equipment to contact America’s nuclear forces – on submarines, in bombers and on launch sites around the world.

To activate it, Trump will need a card – known as ‘the biscuit’ – which identifies who he is, and authorises him to order single or multiple nuclear weapon launches.

If Trump decides to launch (when he’s away from command centres such as the White House), he will be taken aside by the aide to discuss options.

Contrary to popular myth, there is no ‘big red button’ – instead, the equipment is designed to work like an authenticator, proving that the President is who he says he is.

What happens next?

Bruce G. Blair, a former Minuteman missile-launch officer and research scholar at Princeton told Bloomberg, ‘Before initiating military action, the president convenes a conference with military and civilian advisers in Washington. If travelling, the President is patched in on a secure line. The consultation lasts as long as the president wishes, but if enemy missiles are heading toward the U.S. and the president must order a counterstrike, the consultation may last just 30 seconds.’

Once President Trump has ordered a launch, a short code is transmitted to launch sites – where crews will then authenticate them against sealed codes provided by the National Security Agency.

The order has to be ratified by the Secretary for Defense, to confirm that it’s real – but this is to confirm Trump’s identity, rather than to confirm that the order is a good idea.

How quickly could nuclear weapons be launched?
