Whatever you do, stay away from emergency medicine. Or else, you'll end up treating every sick baby or injured okada man in your area for free. Nigerians never want to pay for emergency care but will be happy to break your head if their relative dies in your hands.

My advice to you is to start small and don't call attention to yourself. Develop relationships with other doctors. If won't hurt if you work for one of the bigger private hospitals for a few years to build up a reputation with patients before setting up your own place. Definitely don't put a big HOSPITAL sign in front of your building. That'll only attract emergencies that can't pay.

If you provide good services, you'll get patients through word of mouth and through referrals from other doctors.

Why is this news? Really, who gives a fûck what Atiku says?

Prayer clearly doesn't work. It has been objectively proven to be pointless countless times. If Nigerians would spend as much time hustling and working as they do praying for "breakthrough", there'd be far less poverty. If we'd all just stop praying for good leaders and instead focus on voting out the thieves, Nigeria would be a very different place.

Sadly, people prefer to live in a fantasy world with fairies and benevolent spirits watching over them than to face reality and take responsibility for their own lives.

Talk is cheap. Does he have the stones to actually reduce the number of government workers i.e. retrenchment?

I don't think so.

But, but, but, the election was the freest and fairest in our nation's history. But, but I thought there was no rigging?

Could this mean than GEJ wasn't telling the truth? Could he be just another lying, vote-rigging, scumbag PDP thief?

No, it can't be true. There must be a mistake somewhere.

What are you people complaining about? What he said is completely feasible. All we have to do is extend his tenure to 100 years and wait for the oyimbos to invent cold fusion.

Very simple. Ride on GEJ.

Get FIFA. PES sucks balls nowadays. Graphics are rubbish, gameplay is too mechanical, the controls have been messed up since PES10 and the commentary is terrible. FIFA 11, while not perfect is a vastly superior game to PES 11.

The thing is that most Nigerians have been playing the old PES games for so long and haven't gotten used to FIFA. Once you do, its impossible to go back. PES is living on past glories.

Martian:
The sentence means the world and the universe as a whole are just so perfect and that such perfection can only come from a singularity (God). Apart from the sentence not making any sense, the people who think like this only see rainbows, butterflies, puppies and cute little babies ( the beautiful things) while ignoring the starving 2 year old in somalia or the Sun's ultra violet rays that cause skin cancer, or leukemia or malaria etc. They are are willfully ignorant of the less savoury things in nature and when confronted with such, they just blame it on some supernatural causes they culled from one ancient book or the other.


@OP
Gods are superhuman beings made up by different human cultures in order to explain natural phenomenon,alleviate their fear of mortality and helps them to resolve their existential angst . Gods only exist for those who believe in them and are put in the same category as unicorns, dragons and superheroes by those who do not.

Regarding the so called perfection in nature, especially the human eye that some people on this site claim to be so perfect and had to be made by their brand of god, here's an excerpt from an article fromTufts university's archives.

[b]Blind spot
Critics of Darwin like to ask how something so complex and as apparently perfect as the eye could
possibly have evolved gradually, and the man himself devoted several pages of later editions of
On the Origin of Species to refuting their arguments. Perhaps he need not have worried. Eyes are
complex, but their structure reveals the unplanned nature of evolution.
The most famous flaw is found in vertebrate eyes. Their light-sensing structure, the retina, is wired
up back-to-front, with the light-sensitive cells behind the nerves and blood vessels that support it.
Not only does light have to pass through this layer first, obscuring the image, but the nerves and
blood vessels have to dive through the retina, creating a blind spot in each eye.
In cephalopods, such as squid and octopuses, the eyes are built the "right" way around, so why
not in vertebrates too? The answer is that when eyes first evolved in the ancestors of modern
vertebrates, the retina arose from an in folding of the developing brain, and the cells that could
form light receptors happened to end up on the inside of this fold. "Once you have done
something like this it's very hard to change," says Michael Land, a specialist in eye physiology at
the University of Sussex, UK.
As always, evolution has made the best of a bad job. Vertebrates have a number of adaptations to
compensate for the ancestral blunder. One is the fovea in primates, a patch of retina where the
nerves and blood vessels are swept aside and which is jam-packed with light receptors. This has
to be kept small to ensure it gets enough oxygen, giving us fuzzy peripheral vision but sharp
central vision. "The cephalopod eye is not as good as ours," says Land. But again, birds have
outdone us, eliminating most blood vessels from the retina thanks to a structure called the pecten.
This means the animal with the sharpest eyesight of all is the hawk.
Verdict: Back-to-front retinas are a mistake whichever way you look at them.[/b]

You f00l, the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the human eye. He created all things.

I challenge you to prove that the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't exist. if you can't then just accept that you're wrong and bow down before him. He is a merciful monster, he will forgive your doubt.

Of course He exists. How else could the world have come to be? Look at complex organs like the human eye or the appendix. Could such things just appear randomly? Could a 747 jet just assemble itself without a higher power designing it? Of course there is a creator, an intelligent designer.

There is so much evidence that the universe and all life in it was made by the invisible, undetactable force known to the wise as the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Only f00ls deny His existence. Only bigger f00ls ascribe His works to that buffoonish "God" character who features so prominently in the Bible and the Qu'ran.

Brethren, abandon your false gods. For only the Flying Spaghetti Monster is deserving of your worship. Once you are touched by His noodly appendage, you can never be the same.

Possible starting XIs

Newcastle: Harper, Simpson, Steven Taylor, Coloccini, Ryan Taylor, Barton, Tiote, Cabaye, Gutierrez, Ba, Ameobi.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Djourou, Gibbs, Walcott, Song, Ramsey, Arshavin, Van Persie, Gervinho.

Your starting 11 is wrong. There's no way they're starting Walcott in central midfield. If he startss, its going to be on the right wing with Arshavin dropping to the bench. Unless they play 442 (unlikely, Ramsey's too small and inexperienced) its going to be:

Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Djourou, Gibbs, Song, Ramsey, Rosicky, Arshavin/Walcott, Van Persie, Gervinho.

I'm starting to get worried about this season. With Cesc and Nasri leaving, we'll need at least 3 more quality signings including a CB. If they sign the wrong people, there's a real chance of dropping out of the top 4.  

People should stop insulting the professor sha. None of what's happening is his fault and he's done a fantastic job with the little money he's been given. To sack him would be suicide unless they can get either Alex Ferguson, Matt Busby or Jesus as a replacement.

osifred:
il

gentleman i doubt if u r really familiar with the political structure of Nigeria cos wht we hav on ground is technically 8yrs tenure system. for once am 100% in support of this bill provided certain clauses such as the no immunity clause for serving governor or president, a workable system to impeach any non performing governor etc are put in place

Rubbish, we already have a workable system to remove non-performing governors, etc. Its called elections after 4 years. With this new system, we'd have to suffer under the Alao-Akalas and Yar'Aduas for six years with no hope of getting rid of them. If you think any impeachment system no matter how "workable" could ever remove a sitting Nigerian president, then you, my friend, must be reetarded.

The only reason the PDP governors are supporting this is because the greedy scumfucks want to have their own tenures elongated. The only reason why most governors bother with the pretense of working for their people is because they all want to get reelected. With this new system the PDP just has to rig once and then they can settle down to their main business of stealing our money.

It bothers me that GEJ is looking for ways to make politicians even less accountable to the people than they already are.

aukasa:
The National communications commission (NCC) should compel these telecom companies to introduce number porting its done in other countries. You can move from one network to another without changing your number. In another word you continue to use the same sim card regardless of this change so you don't need to worry about loosing your contacts due to this change.

Why would the NCC do number portability when they can push their rubbish SIM card registration agneda. Number portability may be useful to the average Nigerian but it doesn't help the big men in Abuja pad their bank accounts so it'll probably never get done.

On the other hand, with SIM card registration, they can both award huge contracts and help uncle GEJ spy on political opponents and the genaral public. 2 birds with one stone.

As far as I'm concerned, all the networks are rubbish for not opposing that fascist bullshiat policy. There's no way I'm giving the PDP my photo, address, phone number and fingerprints. When they block my SIM, I'll just buy another one from the black market.

Fûck the federal government!

Brethren, abandon your false gods. Allah and Yahweh cannot save you, for they are mere figments in the mind of man. There is only one true creator.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster made all things. And he wants you to know him.

Is this a glitch in the matrix or have I seen this thread before?

nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-726418.64.html#msg8847257

2mch:
You are being very defensive and taking this very personal. I am of the opinion of live and let live. I see articles of ga*y associations in Nigeria, so there is a support group for you if you want to jump out of the closet. Nothing wrong with that. . You are the little boy for crying all over this page. You are man-lover, just accept and move along. Express your right to freedom and your leanings, it is a free world.

The funny thing is that this whole arguement started when I said almost the exact same thing on the 1st page of this thread. And everybody got aggressive because I didn't hate the gäys as much as they did.

Anyhow, congratulations on your moderate and reasonable post. It's nice to see someone who isn't a raving religious fundamentalist on Nairaland.

As a reward I'd like to offer you the chance to spend a day with me, Bishop Eddie Long. We can hold hands and pray together. I can rub annointing oil all over your body, I want to give you the annointing. Let us commune in the spirit. Glory to Gard!!

2mch:
You did not answer the question. You have been very defensive. If you are this defensive, then there is nothing wrong in telling us why. It just seems like a very close topic to you.

Guy, don't be reetarded. Why would I be defensive if I'm using an anonymous username? Fine, if its what you guys want, I'll confess. I'm a h0m0sexual. My real name is Eddie Long, I'm a pastor, I live in the US and my hobbies are bodybuilding and r@ping teenage boys.

Are you happy now?

P.S. I already said I wasn't g@y a few posts earlier. Try to keep up boy.

jennykadry:
Is Evil brain g[i]a[/i]y?

BetaThings:
Don't let that answer above fool you. What is the basis for this passionate defence of gay.gots? Afterall they are not helpless infants who cannot defend themselves such that another will now take up the battle for them out of abundance of compassion.

jennykadry:
Lol did you think I believed it even for a second?

Oh noes! The nairalanders think I'm g@y. My weputation is wuined!!! What am I gonna do?

Just kidding, I wouldn't care if you thought I was a fat, ynash-scratching GEJ supporter with body odour, herpes and only 1 testicle. I'm only here to laugh at the ignorant bigots and the repressed h0m0s. You guys are funny as hell.

Are there actually people that believe this chemical 1 nonsense? My god, I've seen home videos that are more realistic than this.

This thread is a grave indictment on our educational system.

swaggerboi2011:
sign of endtimes, this it so disgusting,

H0m0sexuality has existed since prehistoric times. There were probably g@y dinosaurs before mankind even existed. Stop deceiving yourself.

davidylan:
So based on your own opinions we should now label Eddie Long g@y? So every athlete with muscle tops is most likely g@y too? I did own muscle tops at one time, do i look or sound g@y too? I must not have known it. Maybe i should have that confirmed.

Every athlete who wears muscle tops and r@pes multiple underage boys is probably g@y in my opinion. I'm not sure about you though. Have you r@ped any boys recently?
@jennykadry No, I'm not g@y. I love the pússy actually. But thanks for asking.

Here's the picture I was talking about: Pastor Eddie Long.
https://img2.ranker.com/user_node_img/5908/1000092909/300/pastor-eddie-long-person-photo-u2.jpg

So, what do you think, does he look g@y to you? I think he looks like a flaming h0m0sexual in a pink tanktop, but maybe you disagree. Perhaps he was posting faggy pictures of himself on the internet to attract the h0m0s to hear the word of Gard?

davidylan:
Nonsense. Look at your own definition . . . i dont subscribe to h0m0sexuality . . . but neither do i have an irrational fear of h0m0sexuals. I have worked with quite a few . . . nothing serious. Its the typical leftist liberal spin . . . when you want to force a perfidy down our throats . . . simply label those in opposition as "anything - phobes".

Do you like to eat eba like i do? No? then you are an "eba-phobe" - with an irrational fear or aversion to those of us who eat eba. See . . . i can make up my own words too. Now to get mirriam webster to print it next yr.

You seem to think I'm attacking you personally. I'm not. I'm merely pointing out something that seems to be fairly obvious: that closet h0m0sexuals tend to have the most extreme homophobic views. Ted Haggard, the US senator Larry Craig, I've already mentioned Eddie Long.

BTW, I posted a link earlier. If you really doubt if Eddie Long is g@y, you should click on it and check out the picture of him posing in a pink tank-top. G@yest sh|t I ever saw. I've already mentioned Eddie Long.

BTW, I posted a link earlier. If you really doubt if Eddie Long is g@y, you should click on it and check out the picture of him posing in a pink tank-top. G@yest sh|t I ever saw.

And I wasn't nitpicking over spelling. You got confused over the words homophobe and h0m0sexual, admit it. I won't make fun of you, I promise. We all make mistakes, nobody's perfect.

Homophobia is a term used to refer to a range of negative attitudes and feelings towards lesb.ian and g@y and in some cases bisexual, transgender people and behaviour

Homophobia is observable in critical and hostile behavior such as discrimination and violence on the basis of a perceived h0m0sexual or in some cases any non-heterosexual orientation.

from the wikipedia.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophobia

Definition of HOMOPHOBIA : irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals

From Mirriam-Webster. Now, do you understand?

davidylan:
your "study" said that did not happen with non-h0m0sexuals. So you mean the non-h0m0s are truly non-h0m0s?

What is this guy talking about?

Besides tpia is a woman.

Sweet Jebus, WTF? It's non-HOMOPHOBES not non-h0m0sexuals. A homophobe is someone who hates homosexuals (e.g. Eddie Long). The study suggests that those people tend to be closet h0m0sexuals (e.g. Eddie Long). Seriously, check a dictionary, or google it.

And if you don't like my study's conclusions, then find another one that supports your arguement. Stop trying to twist results to suit your side. You're starting to sound like a global-warming denier.

Also, my apologies to tpia@. Thought you were a guy (can't sleep, browsing on my phone). Girls are allowed to get h0rny while watching g@y pr0n, it doesn't mean you're g@y. I'm curious though, do you get h0rny while watching lesb.ian pr0n?

tpia@:
^^the way the human body is wired, there's no hard and fast rule as to what does or doesnt constitute stimuli. For some, it's a shoe [fetish] while for others, could be a fingernail, smell of collard greens, or something else.

the study itself is flawed by default because the target sample is suspect.

Now, for example, would you yourself not be excited should say a 90 year old lady fondled you and nobody was looking.

Guy, have you ever watched g@y pr0n before? Seriously, if your d|ck stands while watching that nasty shiat, then you are a h0m0sexual. Face facts and stop decieving yourself. There's no need to be ashamed about it, I'm not judging anybody. In any case, there are millions of nigerians happily living in the closet.

@davidylan

Guy, you're confused. Try reading the abstract again. Let me break it down for you: They didn't identify which men were g@y and which weren't. They only seperated them based on whether or not they were homophobes. They made everybody watch regular, lesb.ian and g@y pr0n and measured their responses using d|ck size.

The results: everybody got hor.ny while looking at straight and les.bo pr0n while only the homophobes were arou.sed while looking at g@y pr0n. Ergo: homophobes are all repressed f@gg0ts, QED! Its really quite simple.

Now I agree that the sample size was small but then I found this study from a 2 second google search. I'm sure you can find a better one if you try. Also I can name waaay more than 2 homophobes who have turned out to be g@y? There must be thousands of examples all over the internet. Here's a few more for your enjoyment.

http://www.ranker.com/list/top-10-anti-man-lover-activists-caught-being-man-lover/joanne

And 1 last thing, try looking up the word homophobe in the dictionary. It doesn't mean what you think it means.

**Edit: The gaddem nairalang word filter keeps messing up my link. Try copy-pasting it into your browser's address bar then changing "man-lover" to "g@y" with an "a" in both places. Should work then.

Poverty has always been associated with a high birth rate. Its a fact of life. Not just Nigerians either, indians, other africans and pretty much poor people everywhere except china (because of the strict 1 child laws).

The opposite is also true. Europe and Japan have negative population growth. The US is only growing b'cos of immigration. But a century or 2 ago when those areas were poor, they were multiplying like rabbits just like us.

Its also why there are so many almajiris in the north: northerners are far, far poorer on average than southerners.
