Nice one, but wen it comes to cancer, Hmmn it's better one hopes for a miracle. because such cases cannot be handled successfully in Nigeria, they claim early detection is d solution bt it's a fat lie, I know several persons who detected lump in their br**st, ran to the hospital for treatment early enof. But at the end of the day they still lost their lives. So I do nt blame Pple who run to church instead of going to the hospital. I'm only respondin to the cancer issue the op mentioned, cos i've lived with a cancer patient in the hospital 4 good 3months.

Like I said in the post, I'm not condemning faith healing neither I'm I putting Medicine on a pedestal.
My point is, God is able to heal people divinely but medical intervention should not be ruled out.

This entire situation is so unfortunate.

Ok. Noted

Is there any drug that isnt 'Potentially' dangerous in high dosages?

All drugs are potentially dangerous but some are more dangerous than others because of their narrow therapeutic index (i.e there is a thin line between their safety and lethality). Those kinds are not given/sold anyhow.

Just to say one more thing.

If this is a genuine suicide attempt, he's been a thorough d*i*c*k about it. Thanks to that posted receipt scan, he's pretty much guaranteed that the Manager of Zagbayi Pharmacy (150Y, Bosso Road, Minna, Niger State) will get arrested for selling those vials without a prescription.

My thoughts. It's illegal to sell potentially dangerous drugs without a (confirmed) prescription.

Where there's life, there is hope.

These are common features of most public institutions in Nigeria - queues, waiting, delays etc

You're correct. I learnt how to do most of the house chores before my sisters. Cooking, washing my siblings clothes, etc. I did all of that and still do whenever I'm at our family house (minus the clothe washing 'cos we are all grown up now). Back then, my mum even preferred my cooking to my sisters'.
I also learnt how to bake cakes and make doughnuts from my mum because I was her 'assistant' whenever she did it then.

Now that I'm on my own, I don't have problem managing myself. I go to the market to buy food stuffs and do the cooking (I don't like eating out).
I wake up early to make my breakfast (not just bread and tea!) before leaving for work by 7.30am.

Poor documentation is a common feature of our systems.

You chose the wrong path young man. Unfortunately, the law will not listen to any excuse you have to give because you were caught with enough evidence unless you can prove otherwise.

Now we see that there cannot be any negotiation with these people.

espn:
yea a ceremonial program buh d point is it was meant to hold frm 7am to 1pm now u blame d student for leaving d hall cos of d stupidity displayed on d part of d school and its speakers!if dey had conscience and a thinking faculty dey shld knw dis student v ppl frm different state..far and near waiting to c der luved 1s and also planning on leaving dat same day! Nonsense!

That is why I said the school is at fault. If you read my post well, you'll see that I blame the school more. By the way, I feel 7.am to 1pm(6hrs) is too long for a graduation ceremony. When I did mine then, it was just a 3 and half hours ceremony.

Diversify the economy

A president is also human after all

A sad incident

Good post

The students' behaviour was rude. But the school is also at fault because they did not keep to time. Even dignitaries should learn to keep to time when they give speeches (which are most times unnecessary stories about themselves). Keeping to time shows discipline. Guests who come from far places and need to go back to their various destinations shouldn't be kept beyond the time a program is supposed to last. People have other engagements to attend to also.

I think the punishment should be reviewed to something lighter but if they refuse, unfortunately you will have to pay so that you don't waste one year at home.

Not good

Tell this to the toddlers playing outside in the sand but I can't guarantee you that they won't laugh at this joke.

A wife shows submission unto her husband when she allows him to take leadership in the relationship but you should not expect a woman to submit to a man who has no plans and in fact doesn't know where he is going. She is not dumb.

Good post. The expectation some parents have of their kids is just too high. They tell them to always stay at the top and never make a mistake. Life is not like that. It is good to be at the top, it is good to be perfect but we all know that life is full of ups and downs and we all make mistakes and fail sometimes. One cannot always be at the top and one should not always be on the ground either. Telling kids never to fail is to give them a wrong impression about life. Failing sometimes is necessary for one to appreciate success.

I know of this girl whose mum always wanted her to get the highest grades in her class, she could not get anything less than the perfect score. The girl was under so much pressure that she broke down one day and angrily told her mum 'Do you know how stressed I have been all this time? I'm not allowed to make even one mistake. The pressure is just suffocating!'

Yeah, it's normal parental instincts to desire success for your child but ensure that your methods of going about it will not be counter productive in the end.

Marketability doesn't depend only on the course one studied, it depends on the person. There are many graduates of these courses who are still jobless. That shows that there is a difference between paper qualification and employability. The most important thing is to invest in yourself and have passion for what you want to do. The question is, what do you have to offer?

This is not a suprise.

I guess it's the season of favour for topics in the celebrity section of NL. Most topics on the frontpage these days are from that section and they have enjoyed enough attention. Can we switch to another section now?

They may be concerned about mismanagement of funds by the LG's but they (governors) too are guilty of same.

The rate at which marriages of celebrities fail has always bothered me. It sets bad example for the young people who look up to them. Being celebrities, many people want to be romantically involved with them but it takes maturity to stay commited to the one they have chosen as a life partner.

This is not good.

Nigerians won't stop being on the news.
