This so true those that have ears let them hear

You this man or woman what do you gain by using different monikas to quote and reply people and yourself. Some of us are very observant of your shenanigans, dont think for a moment you're covered. You go by different names: yazg, quinmod, leeza, hamach, lauraklassic, and many more. You move from every section of nairaland from nsempa, to nyse, to romance, sexuality, job, cryptos, family section and all. What is actually your aim? Are u also pascopel.?
For the common unsuspecting persons(s) out here this individual exhibits all traits of a scammer, so be careful.
I hardly do this but d way it's going some people might fall for d trick, if not fallen already. Be guided. Everyone can check out those few names i mentioned, though modified, you'll find a similar pattern.
NB: for the culprit, don't bother replying me cos u won't get any frm me. Back to obs.

This is looking like Split personality disorder.

Hi young ladies in the house. Please this is to alert you guys on how people are being robbed these days.

My choir member ( a young girl) was robbed few days ago by a potential client. She's into catering and does breakfast for companies on request as well.

This lady met a guy sometime last month or thereabout and they exchanged contact. The guy was always calling her but she would tell him she's busy due to the nature of her biz. So, this prompted the guy to ask what she's into and she told him. Fast forward to a week ago, the guy said he wants her to cater for his staff breakfast at the office and asked for a quotation. She couldn't do the draft and send via WhatsApp as usual because the contract was a huge one. So they agreed to meet one on one to discuss better.

The D day came and she told the guy she would be coming with a friend, he said it was fine. She later got another of her friend to join them making them three girls. So they set out in an Uber. When they got to where the guys were ( Onikan police station in ikoyi) they alighted from the taxify and entered the guys car. Immediately they drove past the station, she said they put the car on child lock. She said it dawned on her immediately that they had entered one chance.

The guys were three in number. The guy immediately changed his tone and began to collect their stuff. He collected iphone, her friends iPhone and Android, their purses with cash in it, chains and even asked if she has an iPod. when she tried to ask what she did, the guy slapped her across the face.

They collected her friends' ATM card and requested for the pin. They said one of them would go and withdraw the money and if they find out the pin is not correct, they'll shoot them all. After she gave them the pin, they changed their eful. Not every one who claims to be a client is actually one.

I'm still shocked.

They should report to the bank and possibly the bank whose atm was used. They can get the images of the thieves, if they are lucky. Every atm has a hidden cctv. The iPhone can also be used to trace them

Reference:
Commercial layers produce sterile eggs. They will not hatch.

Yes, thanks i'm aware of that, may be should have added a sarcastic smiley to my statement. I know they can't produce any chick.

Osmotouch:
Mod, please help me move this to front page

I bought this crate of eggs not less than 2 weeks ago and after 5days the eggs started to change and on the 9th day this is the nature of the eggs. Am totally confused but my friend is suggesting that it could be because I covered it, and yesterday I saw the woman that sold to me and complained to her but she was surprised saying the remainder of the eggs is still here and nothing has happened to them.


Please I need answers because I bought a crate to save money.

What you have done to those eggs is called incubation, and can help devel9p them to chicks if well controlled

which tradomedical school you finish from?

I wonder o, those cushingoid symptoms he's referring to only occur on long term usage of steroids.

sagna112:
My name is Uche a 100Level supposed medicine and surgery student of a Nigerian University, I used to be very brilliant and that was what instigated me to apply for Medicine and Surgery after acquiring an aggregate score of 270 in both JAMB and POST-UTME Examinations, I was then admitted a years ago into a university.

I am the only child of my parents, they have spent so much on me just to make sure I become a doctor, dad had to sell one of his plots of land to pay for my registration fees, purchase a brand new laptop, a phone and clothes for me and all my needs, Mum who has no job since she was sacked by the state government will always try to send the little that will pass through her, when I think of the way she announced to her friends when I gained admission to study Medicine it brings tears from my eyes.

It will be an injustice on me to be blamed or for me to blame myself, I know the effort I have also made, I have always taken my studies serious, I never missed any lecture, I neither miss assignments nor tests, I sit at the front of the class, I don't keep bad gangs, I have never attended a party, sometimes I do RTDB (Read Till Day Break), what is then my offense? why me?

At the end of my 100 level Second semester my CGP was reading 4.2 without a single carryover, I was very happy because I thought I had scaled through the danger zone.

The unexpected occurred when I logged into the school portal at the end of my Second Semester Examination to check my result, I cleared all the courses with A's and B's but a course was reading Carryover, I nearly fainted when I saw the result, it was a biology course I offered in second semester to me the course was the simplest of all. I did not inform my parents because I din not want to dishearten them.

The school resumed, so I went to my HOD and complained, she took me to the Exam office who searched thoroughly for my script and from what I saw it was obvious I failed, I scored 32% and was asked to change department, my HOD advised that I go to Biological Sciences, my eyes were filled with tears.

How do I tell my parents this, it only mean I have brought shame to them. I have remained in school since then crying from one angle to another I don't know whether to go home to my parents to inform them of the truth or keep telling them lies.

I need your sincere advice.

Well you need all the supports you can get now. You see, what happened to you is a normal phenomenon in med school. Infact sometimes if it happens earlier it's milder and better than when you are neck-deep close to your finals, where even your enemies already accept defeat that u r a dr.
The issue is there is need for proper orientation of aspiring/prospective med students about the risks involved in the course, as well as parent so that they won't mount too much pressure on the children.
It's very easy to get withdrawn in medicine, I've seen genuses get thrown out over minor short falls in their expectation. In fact people thrown out in medicine usually become 1st class products in other departments with less effort than they put in medicine.
That's just by the way, as for the advice, you can't keep something like this away frm ur parents. Even if you do, for how long? For quick recovery, open up to them, tell them how it all happened. They will definitely be sad, but in the end they r still your parents, so they will understand. Don't start at this early stage living a life of denial, it won't get you far.
If u really believe you can do it, try and take another jamb to secure a place, then start afresh. Dont look at your previous mates, some of them will come back to u or later become ur junior. But if u must do this brace up for the ride, medicine is not for the chicken hearted. The road is very rough. The sciences are the easiest task in your path, when u start the pre clinical be ready for stiff competition. If u r lucky to escape then buckle up for the clinical.
All i've said is not to scare or discourage you, but to let you know the reality. Everything can be done if you know yourself and pray hard.
You can also decide to opt for other courses, afterall no be by medicine.
Wish you luck as u advance through life.

You should check your blood sugar preferably fbs, polyphagia is one of the early symptoms of diabetes

They call this python devil but they will still cook and eat it.
How do u eat a devil and be comfortable? Nigerians!!

ComradeShegs:
I don't know exactly why you're so pained to read inbetween the lines accurately. And mind you, I didn't call you a jerk Negro, I only advised you exempt yourself from being one since you obviously type out of proportion. Your bragging on finishing ABU before me to make an ostentatious pretence gives me more reason to assert to the fact you are so empty upstairs. (Sorry if that's harsh, but it's the truth)...You're probably one of those roaming the street boasting they finished from ABU and expect everything to come in a platter of gold.
And also I see no reason why you should be reading meanings to what I typed, because I apparently didn't generalise on all Hausas. I have very intelligent and sound minded ones as friends. Even in my office, I've got one or two colleagues who are hausas; we relate well.
Instead I was sighting instances where the so called Quota System had denied those who scored 300+ admission to study for instance Law, but instead give them courses like Archeology, Social studies Education or even Theatre and Performing Art. And that's if they're lucky enough.
So please let's be guided here and don't use abusive words on me because its usage isn't restricted to anyone.

Ignorance is bliss, keep waddling in your myopia.
And who goes about calling people negros and jerks to make an intellectual argument, it shows ur upbringing. Bye

IAmStrange:
And some people were attributing it to Islam, calling it Islamic agenda.

Many began to spite the school, calling it all sorts of derogatory names, with Islam in the picture.

WaLlohi, the minds of many of these people are dark and evil, the Muslims have just become too weak to expose them.

Indeed, it's the truth what Allaah said:

“Never will the Jews nor the Christians be
pleased with you (O Muhammad) till you follow their religion"

It's Islamophobia that will kill some people.

Did a story not come up one time of Covenant university rejecting admission to one Muslim guy in a similar fashion like this?

Did anyone shout Christianization?

When a Muslim does something, they attribute it to Islam. If it's the other way round, you won't hear such a thing coming from us.

Why are you all so deeply obsessed with Islam if you do not fear for its greatness and try to talk it down or criticize it at any given chance?

The reality is that many of these people are just insincere, sick-minded hypocrites!

Imes is coming! Imes is coming! The world should prepare.

The reality of your true selves, how evil your hearts are actually and how foolish your arguments and philosophies are will soon be exposed to the world when Imes comes.

All of you should continue! Imes will be making you all famous; yes, the whole will know you all for your evil and hypocritical ways.

By the time Imes will come, humiliation will be your companion. humiliation will be your nick names. You will all wine and dine with humiliation unless you repent and turn towards truth.

When Imes comes, it will be the end of your era and the beginning of a new one.

When Imes comes, it will be game over for many of you hypocritical lots

Imes is coming, You should all get prepared!

And you are free to wail and attack me on mention. That's your way and it will only make your humiliation more interesting when Imes eventually shows up.

Imes, we await your coming

See it oh, this is what we were trying so hard to correct yesterday. Nigerians and hasty conclusions.
Why not try to find out the reason for denying her admission b4 pasting it on social media for everyone to judge. Would it have been better they sidelined others above her to appear fair.
To the young girl in question, if you are privileged to read this, you have what it takes to be in MEDICINE no doubt, but some of the best drs u see today didn't make it at a blow, it's a tough competition. Don't give up, best of luck.

ComradeShegs:
You want to compare the Yorubas and Hausas in spoken English?. Don't be a jerk. And mind you, I never said the Quota system wasn't applied in the south too, I personally feel it shouldn't serve as a criteria for admitting students into the University. So next time, read thoroughly before quoting.

You are the silly jack here bringing ethnicity into trivial things like spoken English. What department did u finish from that u know all the hausas can't speak English like the yorubas?
Boy sit your ass down several miles away. I finished from ABU b4 u ever thought of getting to university and had the opportunity to interact with the best intellects from students to lecturers, and have traveled round the north and south yl u sit in ur cocoon thinking which tribe is superior in English.
While you were making your point about quota system, of which is the reason u got admission in d 1st place, u can do that without being condescending on any tribe.
I grew up, did my Primary and secondary education in the south west and i can tell u that u get bad english everywhere irrespective of tribe. It's a common thought over there tha a 'mola' or 'abokis' (a derogatory name) can't be better intelligent wise.

ComradeShegs:
I've said this countless times, this quota system isn't helping matters in any way, because it invariably adores mediocrity at the expense of meritocracy. Myself and my sisters being Christians from Oyo state were fortunate enough to gain admission in ABU. My elder sis read Mathematics, I just finished this year with a degree in Political Science & International Studies and my immediate younger sister is currently reading Business Educ moving to her second year. We all applied ones...

While in school, you'll meet “abokis” who can't construct a correct sentence in 400L. Infact, what usually helps some of them is cramming. “Ma broda, Hausa sabi cram for Africa ”. But tell them to engage in a verbal reasoning, na there you don spoil everything.

If you confront them on the marginalisation of southerners in securing admission, they start bringing up the quota system and how it's also difficult for northerners to gain admission down south, even though I strongly feel Federal institutions shouldnt be tied to it. It can be understood if such system is practiced in State owned institutions.

It's the same or even worse down south too, how many hausas do u see in southern universities, probably non. I'm not even hausa to start with, i had enough experience in the south west whete u only get admitted into courses like medicine based on 'leg'. I put it to u today, apply for medicine in ABU be the overall best and see if they won't admit you, can this be said of all other universities. Pls stop making jest of people based on whether they can converse with u in good English or not, u find this everywhere in the country, is it even the yorubas you want to talk about.

aylipple:
It's sad really that the young lady didn't get admitted to study the course of her dreams. But what's even more saddening is reading responses from those who have no idea how A.B.U works to use this opportunity to expose their preconceived ethno-religious biases.

There's no perfect university anywhere on earth but it's also not a hidden fact that A.B.U is the most cosmopolitan public university in Nigeria.

Never mind it's only those that went through the system that will know, all other things are hearsays. During my time 10yrs ago when jamb is not computer based my aggregate was 286 after post ume. Then 300+ in jamb aren't that common compared to this era where some average student score 300+. NB the admission, atleast the 1st batch which was about 70%+ of the admission was based on merit.

ProudBoy:
Lol. Over 30 people from her state scored higher than her. ABU admission policy is based on states. They pick at least one person from each state in every department. And if you are not from the catchment area and supposedly there are people who scored higher from your state, you may be denied admission.

Thank you o, people dont even know what they are saying, this is MEDICINE o where the bests of the best meet. Y'all will be shocked that there is someone from her region with score higher than hers. No doubt the girl is good and deserves something good, but the score that looks unattainable to u people is a common occurrence in medicine. Except if ABU has changed, there is always room for merit, then another factor is catchment area, and all in all there is fairness. Her average score if post utme and jamb are added is 288 is a very good score but i bet u there are score on average of above 300 that apply for same course from her state, if not she would have gotten. Don't forget the slots are so limited that in some states u only have 1 candidate taken, ofcourse has to be the best.
I'm really sorry for her predicament, but don't be so hasty in passing justice without indepth knowledge of what happened. The VC wouldn't even flinch cos he know he would win if u people sue him.

dawnomike:
1 - Tightly tie the upper region and lower region of the bite wit a rope to reduce the venom flow into the blood stream...

2 - Cut open the bite areawit a knife or blade and try to such out d venom

3 - place a cut of onions on d region.

NB: Do all d above while rushing the victim to the hospital

This is the worst advice given with so much confidence. If u tie a bite site u are only making it worse as there would be high tissue concentration of venom around bite site and subsequently irreversible tissue damage. And the onions is it to garnish the venom? And cutting open bite site with knife will will further worsen it cos no way u are going to remove venom in circulation by bleeding. The venom travels fast following a bite in seconds, so cutting open will not change anything.
Steps to take is to
Re-assure the victim not to panic, as anxiety increases heart rate and venom circulation.
If possible immobilize the affected part to slow down blood flow.
Rush as fast as possible to the nearest facility with antivenom.

nuclear power is the safest, what causes the disaster are human errors trying to experiment, other forms of power produces green house gases which in turn destroys the ozone layer and the sun rays directly hits us giving us cancer, they even cause acid rains which is detrimental to our health.
Also the nuclear power is easier to operate than other forms of power.
It also gives a stable and predictable power supply than the rest. Hydro electricity is not much, wind and sun can't even boast of 24hrs power supply.
Nuclear is so efficient and important that it alone accounts for 30% of the world power supply.
It produces few wastes than the rest.
This is what a growing population like Nigeria needs
Protesting against it is like protesting that we shouldn't av air ports because plane crash can kill 100 persons even if they tell you it is the safest means of transportation.
Face ur fear bro, we are going nuclear.
Merry Xmas in advance

There you go, the human error, how can we guarantee this in a country still battling with basic human problems. High precision is needed to keep the reactors at bay in order to prevent any form of nuclear accident. In case where such happens, do we have the neccessary plan on ground to minimize damage, don't forget it happened even in countries with the best nuclear scientists and human resources. This is more practical than you think bro, this is not about theory, our country is not ready for this. Green house effect is still learning where a nuclear accident occurs.

dukeprince50:
it is actually the cleanest and safest since it cause no harm to our ecosystem.
But my fear is Nigerians, one day Dangote truck will just run into it and the next thing is history.

Do you really no what nuclear power station is?
Even in advanced countries there's a lot of debate on their safety. A single flaw in the process can wipe a whole nation not to talk of the long term residual effects. You should look up Chernobyl to have an idea. Nuclear disasters when they occur are not just hazardous to the environment but all forms of life.

powerblaze:
You can't maintain DAMs, You can't maintain power plants, You cant maintain Refineries, but you want Nuclear power. IDIOTS!!!!

Can you imagine, he said cleanest and safest. I think corruption has eaten deep into the thinking faculties of these guys, comparing green house effect to nuclear radiation/accident.

I don't usually do this, but for the sake of sanity i think everyone has a rile to play.
Having followed the thread for sometimes,i must say there are a lot of great minds here.
OGG is one of a kind, among the few selfless individuals we have in the country. I always like his approach and maturity in certain instances, but if u allow anger to creep in, all the great qualities can be destroyed in a minute. I believe it takes a lot of serious work to analyze and dissect a coy and present the value the way u see it for everyone to benefit, even when u think/know u've hit a jackpot.
On the other hand, Loco is not also a bad guy. Infact, from the little i know of him, i see him as someone who doesn't know how to conceal his emotion when he is on his game. Sometimes i even fear for his excitement, from his time in transcorp, how he believed in it and how he suddenly jumped out. In my View, I think he is some one who has had his fair share of loss in the market (ofcourse which is normal in business) that now finds it difficult to stay for a long time. I don't think he meant any harm whichever way.
I really dont know why there was conflict here, let's learn to be tolerant, be silent when other's opinion didn't sit well with us, or correct them diplomatically if need be, i believe we are all adults.
With that said, please let's sheath our swords and be each other's keeper as much as we could. The most important thing is to make money, whichever method, everyone is important in the ASI.
God bless all.
