When a man is hard,his sense of reasoning leaves his upper head to his lower head.that's what happened with this man and now his own come worst.sorry Mr lecturer.face ur lashes

ADVICE TO ALL: ladies don't ask for money too quick if you know you can't meet his own demand if he asks for your body.don't meet somebody today and be telling him all your money problems.he is not your Dad . Guys don't be too quick to ask for bed things because you must surely pay for it,and for her not to loose out she prefers to ask first before she comes to see you to avoid loosing out and end up getting promises. Ladies,if you are keeping your body for your future husband,he also will be keeping his money for his future wife.don't show you are too wise.To Ladies,men are not ATM machines and to guys,ladies are not sex slaves. If you don't wanna face so much demand from the opposite sex don't be too quick to demand.relationship is slow and steady,so allow it to be natural. #‎BEwISE‬

The term politics means who gets what,how n wen? As for this new development,it could be coming out of paranoia point of view n truely ntn mayb going underground.on d other hand the rumour mayb true. Sambo isn't too vibrant n jonathan too.but of recent jonathan had his enemies making him stronger to face the challenge. As for sambo,I like him but let him show us more vibrance. For the fact that he doesn't talk a lot maynot mean his brains are dull. All I can say in all these is that "dropping sambo no matter how wise may not tell so good of Jona esp frm the northern point of view.no matter who they replace him with,people will sense betrayal.but he picked sambo anyway,so he can drop him if he wants(all to his conscience) but politically saying let the two run together for the sake of being at a better chance to win" people like me outside the northern ethnic group would say"who cares,what do I hv to loose"

phadat: way back in secondary school knew this girl that keeps dissing yours truly and I kept asking myself what the issue was with her , we stay on the same street but don't talk ,any time I pass by her house she always makes annoying comments about me till her friend told me she actually has a crush on me and the rest is history

guess u can see I have a point there. But u didn't say hw the rest of the history completed

Ladies pretend a lot.sometimes their green light could be hatred(artificial though),aggression and anger. So if u expect a greenlight to always be positive sign u are wrong. It takes a very SMART guy to decode but why it is more difficult is that ladies differ frm another. So u dnt generalise character.study that particular lady n use eye contacts to knw if u could get her talking.also u can step up ur yarns becos u dnt expect her to woo u and make it evident. But wait oo( if a girl woo u,u go spend,if u woo her ,u go spend) chai mehn abi we be atm machines?(Just joking)

South east states are among with the worst roads. But as for this complaint by the governor,who shld be closest to the president if not the governor?let him come to abuja and talk to the president. That's what they get from political fights. In Nigeria we politicise everytin even roads. The president shld do sometin,likewise the governor in gingering them,that's why they are leaders #God save nigeria

It takes a lot of principle not to hit back wen u are hit.MY EXPERIENCE: duing my schl days,I had a big quarrel with my girl n I accused her of cheating. I had evidence but it wasn't enuf to hv cursed her. She slapped me 2 times becos of anger but I didn't hit back. At the end she started crying n begging me to hit her bak becos she deserves to be beating ,that was why she hit me.I still didn't. She ended up begging and asking for forgiveness.silence could be a form of revenge but it takes a high virtue n self discipline.it could be a strong tool.if JayZ didn't reply back,the woman shld hv been facing the law alone

All I can say is that family matter aint that easy.only the grace of God.this is what I call "trial period" for the pastor and the wife. We have heard frm the wife but have not heard frm the husband. In life as a motivator,u may hv more time motivating others n won't have the chance to motivate urself.its natural. If the pastor had any extra-marital affair,he is human." He who has no sin shld throw the first stone". Confess to GOd and move on that's all. I dnt wanna condemn anyone annointed by God and who God has not condemned. The whole world needs to pray for them n God will intervene. Even the most righteous will face trials n temptations. "Devil sends temptations while God sends trials". Anyone u see,be steadfast and overcome it. Chineke anom gi na aka

When Emeka broke the news to his parents that he planned to marry a Yoruba lady, they told him that he was a joker. That would never happen, they said flatly. Was there a scarcity of nubile damsels in Nnewi and its environs or in Anambra State and the entire Igboland that their son would travel across many rivers and many states to marry a Yoruba girl from Ijebu-Ode? Or, had the girl bewitched Emeka with “otumokpo” from Ijebu-Ode? She would not succeed, they concluded. Never!
Weeks after that, nothing was heard about the issue again. They assumed that the case had been closed. Emeka had come to his senses, they concluded. But had he?
Two months later, like a bad dream, Emeka brought up the issue of this Ijebu girl again! This time, his tone was firm. Despite the threats of the parents, he was not cowed. He was resolute to the point of obstinacy. Even the tears of his mother did not move him. His parents concluded their son was indeed under a spell.

When it became obvious, after many months of dialogue, pressure, threats, pleas, tears and quarrels that Emeka was hell-bent on marrying Lola, his parents grudgingly gave their consent, but the father warned that nobody should run to him if the marriage went awry. The father also refused to accompany him to Ijebu-Ode for the marriage rites, saying that as an elder, it was a taboo for him to travel far away from home. It did not matter that a few months before the marriage rites, he had travelled through Ijebu-Ode on his way to Lagos.
Not only his parents were against the marriage: Out of Emeka’s three brothers and two sisters, only his younger sister was on his side. But Emeka overlooked all that and went ahead with the marriage.
When Lola came into the family, it was obvious that she was not welcomed. She was just being tolerated. Matters were not helped by the fact that Emeka had recently relocated his architecture business from Lagos to Nnewi, to take advantage of the burgeoning building industry in the town. And even though he had built his own house, it was within the same compound where his parents lived. It was a large compound: All the four sons had their portions of land within the compound, even though two of them were not based at home.
Another handicap Lola had was language: Igbo was the language of the family, but Lola spoke only English and Yoruba. So, Lola began forcing herself to speak Igbo. Any time she uttered an Igbo word or sentence, people would laugh. But her determination and sense of humour impressed everyone. She also did something that nobody around her did: she curtsied or knelt down when greeting elders, especially her husband’s parents, no matter how hard they protested against such acts. That act and her accent marked her out as a Yoruba, which made people treat her like an egg and call her “Iyawo.”
Most mornings, Lola would go early to the quarters of her husband’s parents, greet them, tidy up their rooms and collect their clothes for washing. She would ensure that Papa and Mama had their meals. She asked her mother in-law to teach her how to cook all local meals. Mama was eager to teach her, and she learnt fast. Any time Papa or Mama complained of backache, rheumatism or fever, Lola ensured that they got medical treatment. Most evenings, she would spend some time with them, either alone or in the company of her husband, before retiring to bed. Her brother in-law’s wife sneered that she was shamelessly trying to buy love with her boot-licking tactics. But Lola was not bothered about that.

Less than a year after Lola came into the family, the music changed. Emeka’s parents, especially the father, never completed a sentence without mentioning “Iyawo.” He would tell anyone who cared to listen, including the wives of his other three sons, that if it was not for Iyawo, he would have long died.
Today, Lola speaks Igbo, or rather Nnewi, like a daughter of the soil. As far as Emeka’s parents are concerned, “Iyawo” can do no wrong. Even when Emeka complains about her before his parents, they will not let him finish before warning him never to do anything that will hurt that “peace-loving girl.”
Unknown to everyone, before Lola left her parents’ home, she fortified herself for any eventuality, having known that her husband’s family were not happy about the marriage. Her parents had also done all they could to dissuade her from marrying an Igbo man, but their words fell on her like water on the back of a duck. So she knew she had a major battle to face in her new home. Failure was not an option, for if the marriage failed or proved unhappy, her parents would give her the I-told-you treatment. Consequently, before leaving for Nnewi, she boiled herself in a pot of charm. Then, she etched the charm on her face, tongue and heart. The power in the charm was meant to automatically make anyone around her to like her. Anyone she smiled at or talked to was meant to be charmed by her.

What is the name of that charm and how much does it cost? The name of the charm is simple: Genuine love for others. It costs nothing to buy. No medicine-man is needed to prepare or administer it. It has no overdose. Everyone can prepare it. Everyone can administer it: At home, in the office, on the street, in the market. Its result on people is magical. Nobody can resist its effect, including “wicked mothers in-law” and “impossible bosses.” Fortunately, it is available in all parts of the world: In Ijebu-Ode or Nnewi, Zaria or Ikot-Ekpene, New York or Kabul.

Brides and brides-to-be must realise that even though in-laws may seem difficult to deal with, they are human beings with flesh and blood. Parents – especially mothers – want to cling to their sons as long as possible. Parents are naturally suspicious and even envious of “an outsider” – who did not participate in bearing, nurturing and raising of their child – coming to take that child away. To them, the wife is a stranger who may have a selfish agenda to destroy the peace, unity and love existing in that family.
It is the duty of the wife not to breeze into the family with an antagonistic stance. Rather, she should reassure her in-laws – through her words and actions – that she has not come to “take away” their son and brother or to destabilise the family, but that she has come in – like a new baby born into the family – to increase the family’s love, peace, unity and happiness.
Everybody wants to be loved, appreciated and respected. When love is shown (over a period of time) to even untamed animals like the bear, leopard, chimpanzee, hyena, etc, they respond with friendliness. Human beings have the capacity to even respond better than animals when shown love.
The rule in all human relations is that you get what you give. If you smile a lot at people, you receive smiles. If you are cold to people, you receive coldness and more. If you love to help others, you receive help and love. Therefore, those who go about demanding and expecting love, care, and respect from others may get disappointed, but those who first give love, care, and respect to others usually receive them manyfold. Showing genuine love to others is a potent charm that works like magic.

Nobody is pulling us down.we are doing it to ourselves.Nigeria amid all political,structural,religious,ethnic and social crisis is bound to have a shaky economy.but the worst of it all is that our econonic policies which is meant to revamp and resuscitate the crisis are not helping matters.we import everything and we expect to do better. We centred our economy so much on oil hence we go down. Even the oil we boast of we don't hv so much competitive power becos corruption has crippled it.most of the oil exports are done thru private indiviual owned oil blocks n illegal exports.so these are not recorded as a yardstick of ranking the country. Becos the are traded off records. So many reasons pull us down but most are "human induced".nigeria shld wake up

Nihilist: 1)The study claims to have induced Near Death Experiences in the subjects..that alone is a dead giveaway pardon the pun.
The report even suggested that subjects were rendered 'Clinically Dead for 20 Minutes'. This is a direct contravention of the Nuremberg Code which states "No experiment should be conducted where there is a prior reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects"

The Nuremberg code by the way, is a set of research ethics principles for human experimentation set IN GERMANY as a result of the reports of Nazi human experimentation during WW2

No Government/ University will even sanction or fund such an unethical and ILLEGAL practice...and no insurance company would touch it with a barge pole...so what happens if the subject dies? Who pays compensation? Who is liable for the death? The researcher? The University?

That's Lie Number 1


2) Your article states that:


As soon as I saw the drug mentioned, I burst into laughter.

See below wikipedia's entry on DMT


So basically, the subjects were injected with a known hallucinogenic....and then the researchers recorded their psychedelic experiences as factual evidence of the gateway to another world? It's like giving a man igbo to smoke and then claiming that his highness is proof that Man is naturally euphoric and relaxed by nature...

That's Lie Number 2

3) A study of this importance and scale would have appeared in peer review papers and journals...None exist.
Beacause it's a Lie...Lie Number 3 to be exact

4) The most important of all the lies...the gargantuan lie of them all....Technische Universität of Berlin is an Engineering based Uni...with NO MEDICAL WING/DDEPARTMENT....so what team of doctors is referred to in the article?

According to Wikipedia



So unless they had Mechanical Engineers welding combustion engines into the so called subjects, I dont see how TUB could have been involved in such an Experiment...Lie Number 4

I so much like ur research an explanation.I'm happy dealing with an intellectual. I'm not saying they are right but sharing what I saw n passed thru it n put it here expecting positive n negative reactions hence my need of xplanation. Thanks for this fact.I appreciate u and am begining to smell that lies too

Nihilist: So many things wrong with this post...so many lies

what is wrong with it

Berlin| A team of psychologists and medical doctors associated with the Technische Universität of Berlin, have announced this morning that they had proven by clinical experimentation, the existence of some form of life after death. This astonishing announcement is based on the conclusions of a study using a new type of medically supervised near-death experiences, that allow patients to be clinically dead for almost 20 minutes before being brought back to life.

This controversial process that was repeated on 944 volunteers over that last four years, necessitates a complex mixture of drugs including epinephrine and dimethyltryptamine, destined to allow the body to survive the state of clinical death and the reanimation process without damage. The body of the subject was then put into a temporary comatic state induced by a mixture of other drugs which had to be filtered by ozone from his blood during the reanimation process 18 minutes later.

The extremely long duration of the experience was only recently made possible by the development of a new cardiopulmonary recitation (CPR) machine called the AutoPulse. This type of equipment has already been used over the last few years, to reanimate people who had been dead for somewhere between 40 minutes to an hour.


Near-death experiences have been hypothesized in various medical journals in the past, as having the characteristics of hallucinations, but Dr Ackermann and his team, on the contrary, consider them as evidence for the existence of the afterlife and of a form of dualism between mind and body.
The team of scientists led by Dr Berthold Ackermann, has monitored the operations and have compiled the testimonies of the subjects. Although there are some slight variations from one individual to another, all of the subjects have some memories of their period of clinical death. and a vast majority of them described some very similar sensations.

Most common memories include a feeling of detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution, and the presence of an overwhelming light.

The scientists say that they are well aware the many of their conclusions could shock a lot of people, like the fact that the religious beliefs of the various subjects seems to have held no incidence at all, on the sensations and experiences that they described at the end of the experiment. Indeed, the volunteers counted in their ranks some members are a variety of Christian churches, Muslims, Jews, Hindus and atheists.

“I know our results could disturb the beliefs of many people” says Mr Ackermann. “But in a way, we have just answered one of the greatest questions in the history of mankind, so I hope these people will be able to forgive us. Yes, there is life after death and it looks like this applies to everyone.”

fckmn24seg: pls tell me the bible verse that says that BOLDED SENTENCE

I stand to be corrected if its not in d bible but if d point I made is moronic n unacceptable then forget abt what I said n take what u think my mind accepts. As for quoting verses n chapters I'm not good at that but at least I knw what is right n wrong n I see ntn wrong with my opinion. Correct me further becos thru it we learn. Tnks for the observation

At First I didn't understnd but critical n perusal reading made me digest with d best of my knowledge. What "yes means yes" according to the new law is that sex will no more be action oriented but verbal. If we want to have sex the man will ask "baby I want us to have sex,do u agree?" She will say yes. But if "no" then there will be no sex. But in real life sex doesn't speak,but action n body movement but with this new law it makes it a long process becos ladies dont say yes.they either become weak n fall for u or they show body lang.shyness makes the yes issue a big one.and instead of her to say yes n loose some of her feminine pride ,she prefers to to bowl out in pride. Now it makes sex a long process becos u may need time to convince her to say yes. Even if she says no which usually means to them "try again later I may agree" and u as a man decides not to try ,u are seen as mugu and unadventurous. Let me end with a quote from love 101;" when a girl tells u to hold her ,she doesn't mean u shld make love to her,she simply needs warmth n comfort,but if u will be patient to hold her long enuf,u will get urself rewarded"

There is something we shld knw about marriage issues. The couples can't tell us the whole story. Two of them knw what their real prblm is .but if I can judge,I will say that distance is one of their problms becos couple shldnt stay apart. The bible says that a family that prays together stays together.let them not allow the devil to destroy their church. We the christians n muslims shld put them in prayer becos if it affects one it affects all. We r all in the same race of making heaven,so can we pray n ask God to arrest this situation n turn that house to a happy home.I'm not a member,I am a cath but my prayer n that of others can go along way helping to better this situation and restore peace. We are one body in christ.God bless u all

Leukamia isn't itself a good one.its just like cancer of the blood.so in either way let them save the life of the poor kid. But I disgust the way nigerians n d media are too quick to broadcast panic.its unprofessional n uncalled for.they shld be guided. Passing freedom of information bill doesn't mean freedom to talk and over heat the polity with frivolities all in the name of trying to make stories. #i hope the one that caused this stigma will really be there to clean the mess caused on the poor kid.

If idle hands see ntn to make a headline in d paper they resort to writing baseless stories. I dnt believe this becos frm what I observed this is mere assertions n not reality. Let the DSS investigate the allegation and let the persn who innitated this come forward n prove his points,lest I can call it cock n bull stories. Idle hands can write but lucid minds are selective of what to believe

U don't discredit the ibos for holding unto their tradition. All I can say is that whr the professionals knw hw to test the bodies for ebola,they shld do so. The non ebola caused deaths shld be sent home while those affected shld be burnt. The mortuary is already filled with corpses n this can be harmful too. Let's not condemn d ibos but right channel of action by the government can be a remedy.

Obiagelli: I am very serious about this, you and i know how pdp governors operate. I pray its not a confirmed case.

dear obiagelli, this is ebola disease n not PDP tin or APC tin.let's forget about politicizing everytin. We are one nigeria n shld focus on hw to contain n stop this disease and not throwing blames on which party is clueless n which is not#oneNIGERIA

Was it mzapp or nano silver that was used in treating them.we wanna knw the treatment procedures .I am glad for the news

These things are real.I knw other non-catholics and even some catholics won't beliv it. The simple definition of religion is the belief in the existence of the supernatural. With these we need to beliv that there is existence of god n supermr being. They are not fake but real. It doesn't happen in catholic alone but even other churches n religion. I could remember a story of a baby born holding a tiny quran. Its simply faith that makes us beliv tthings we cnt xplain. All the same ,everyone must not beliv but all I can sayhat we shld all beliv that supreme being called God is tgere watching us and looking after us as well as having effects in all we do in life.#aka chukwu di ya

I can see that human lives mean notin to u people. First is that u people belive that there is serious inequality btw medical docs n other health professionals.second is that u doctors will want the whole nigerian money into ur pockets n others shld suffer. You people talk of hazzard allowance as if other non medical staff in the hospital are not exposed too. U doctors shld hv a rethink.I support this public debate let nigerians hear the whole agitations frm u people as direct sources.let us be the judge
