dcodesmith: Good Idea! What if we all make it a joint effort? Use github as our code repo n build it for fun and make it open source. We could have UI/UX, Javascript, Python guys n they can focus on those aspect of the site. I also agree with laidbacks points abt hardware n so on.

FamilyRe: Who should a spouse listen to in matters of life and death? Family or the spouse by emsquare(m): 12:19pm On Apr 03, 2012
Well said!

Analytical: Thank you for raising the topic. I read lastpages's posers and I too thought it's worth discussing. To open up this discussion let me start by saying I wish I could give a straight answer to the questions by saying it is the spouse or the family that one should listen to. Unfortunately, things may not be as straightforward as they seem.

I am for the unity and harmony of spouses. I believe the moment you exchange vows, you belong to each other. Decisions should be taken jointly and adhered to, if there is to be harmony in the home. However, there are certain decisions whose outcome affect not just the two spouses but others as well, whether for good or bad. In such situations, it becomes not just who to listen to, but what sound judgement/counsel to take, wherever or whoever it is coming from.

When faced with a life and death situation, I think discretion and sound judgement (from qualified quarters) should take over. The spouse or family may not be in the best position to offer such at such critical moment (akin to why doctors don't treat their spouses) and it will be foolhardy, if not suicidal, for a spouse to insist his/her decision has to be final. Likewise the family members. I wouldn't want to pitch family against spouses. Neither would I want to totally reject culture as bad in that regard. The overall interest should be the life/health of the person involved and what is best for the person, not some warring egos.

I say this because in the event of death, it's not only the spouse that loses out. The family of the deceased also incurs a great loss. Let me share my story.

I lost a younger brother couple of years ago in a situation like this. Barely weeks into marriage he had to undergo surgery. They lived quite some states away from the rest of the family. No one in my family new what they were going through. Apparently, they decided to keep it nuclear just between the two of them. A couple of months later, he had to undergo a different surgery (life threatening). Still no one knew. He was scheduled for a 3rd surgery before the young wife cried out, but too late. Before we could intervene and organize better medical help, it was just too late. Unfortunately, he didn't make it. All this less than a year after they got married.

Things could have turned out differently if the family was informed and involved. Intervention could have been made before it was late. Perhaps he could have made it. Now, due to negligence, share immaturity and lack of discretion displayed by both, the guy is late and the young lady a widow before 25!

Now let me ask the question: should they have listened to themselves instead of involving the more matured and experienced family in handling the life and death situation? I leave that to the readers. On the other hand, reading the Ogo/Kelvin case, and following my reasoning above, she should have listened to the qualified medical judgement that said 'no more surgeries', which aligns with her husband's view as well, not taking her sister's advice.

PoliticsRe: Can ECOWAS Threaten Nigeria To Return To Civilian Rule In Case Of A Coup? by emsquare(m): 7:43pm On Apr 02, 2012
andrewza: Mali is a land locked country. So they could cut off all trade. Nigeria has ocean trade and it's navy is contested in the region. It would easily keep the sea lanes open. This of course is if the navy backs the coup.


If the AU was 100% behind it they could shut your trade down and blockade your ports.


But the biggest factor will be how stubborn and determined the coup leaders are and how loyal the troops are to them.

stagger: Oga Boyloaf,

There is no strutural difference between Jet-A1 (Aviation-Type Kerosene or ATK) and Household kerosene (HHK). Which is why Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK) is used for two purposes; household cooking and as aviation fuel.

So there is nothing like air crash happening!

idris4r83: Watching nigerian films with your family these days can be embarrassing. I think the censored board are not doing their work cos at times d films will be labelled for general viewers (pg) but the reverse will be the case. These people (nollywood movie industry) are teaching immorality to the children. please nigerian films should not be watched with your family especially if you have kids.
