too many lecturers, i wonder who's idea we go buy

otanaworld:
HELLO MEN & WOMEN, will any of you support the Federal Government of Nigeria (Military) using these arms on the people of the Niger Delta?, if your answer is YES!, then the militant did well to depopulate some of them.

And do not be surprise that this war has become a war of conscience.

anca:
Noetic I am with u.

chi-baby:
na mess ma brother. before nko lol,

odiaseo:
They would most probably be appointed a lawyer. My only thoughts are that the right people are trailed and no innocent person be roped in because of personal vendetta and malice. Believe me it happens. Let the guilty heads roll

odiaseo:
What I'm saying is that everyone one should have the right to be innocent until proved guilty. That is the law and it should apply to everyone. We are talking about equity and human rights, yet we want to crucify those accused without knowing the outcome of the court martial.

If you believe all that the media says then you can believe anything. I'm not denying the fact that there are elements of truth in the news report, but who to blame can not really be ascertained.

In the military there are scape goats, those who are made to pay the price for other peoples sins and they can do nothing about it. Most times the verdict for a court marital is already decided before the trial begins.

We forget so easily how people were accused of being coup plotters in previous regimes, how the were incacerated, tortured etc. The truth is that we may never know what really happened in this arms scandal.

That's my problem with nigerian MEN. you are some of the most widely travelled but your views remain as archaic as ever. Liberia, Germany, Philippines, India and even muslim pakistan has/had female presidents, and they didnt suffer y should u? i won't be a despot even the US may be on the verge of their very first female presido. no slack o! vote for me and our rep will definitely improve, because i will be visiting all these other presidents/countries with the winners of our Miss this and that beauty competitions (we have so many now, it's hard to keep up). the beauties led by a beauty like myself will definitely impress them.

iceblue:
oya, name one female despotic president any country in the world has had.

deor03:
I am sure you don't have an idea of what is happening in IRAQ.

drchinox:
nairalanders,
don't be surprised about the deal,much as corruption is our second religion,
worst thing is even yet to happen.
when obj & his beloved sinner(sorry son)-ribadu were chasing personal
gains,what do u expect.
Nigerdelta will degenerate to iraq,only time it'll take.my personal regret is that
saro wiwa is no longer around to be a witness.

noetic:
now u are threatning me.
I will report u to the international community, UN, AU,EU,ECOWAS,NATO,COMMONWEALTH e.t.c.

fellow nigerians, please ignore this IBB in disguise.
Vote vision,
Vote integrity
Vote Noetics.

bjluv:
Only if I could anyway and to be precise


1st task---secure my ass :p
2. get all the Nigerians who have ever in one way or the other ate from of the Nigerian resources at home or abroad in shackles. I mean all from 1960 when we got independence. they all need to clarify their position in the Nigerian economical history.
3. Get IBB, Abubakar and OBJ all other uneducatated morons who have find their way to various position of power in the Nigerian society + to books. [No one would be pardoned and that is why I will have to 1st secure my ass]
4. Get rid of all the old engines in the system. They are all worn out already and have nothing to offere other than stealing public funds + they are not well knowledgeable about the global field.
5. Bring the change in our people's lives. There is too much suffering in a nation that has it all. Ask Nigerians for their honesting in making a better life for each and every Nigerian.
6. Reform, Agriculture, Health, Education , Technology and Youth&Sports ministries
6. Bring back free education at all levels & subsidized health cover
7. Make sure that every institution publicly declare a credible inflow/outflow of FINANCES every year

(before or while all these is in progress, introduce a nationwide identification system for all Nigerians which will be effective since that would be the only way they will quality for free education or health)

---and the list goes on!

Each time I come across people discussing the Niger Delta issue, I have always been forced to look the other way because many of the opinions will always want to paint the picture of the "Criminal Niger Delta Militants" but, hey, wait a minute, the Federal Government and the Multinationals that have deprived the area of ALL basic good things of life are not often touched in the discussions. Whether the army officers provided the ammunitions or not, it is left for the army authority to apply their justice, but, what motivate these personnel to provide these arms, if it is out of the just cause to liberate the region from the age long oppressions, then let it be.
Recently, we are reading from the dailies how OBJ son has been seriously involved in contracts of the NDDC, ask me, how many of such contracts are properly executed and who cares to monitor them.

My own is LET THE NIGER DELTA BE DEVELOPED then there will be no room for militancy, and temptation of the army officials to sell arms, train or join the militant groups.

My brother, we just dey exchange ideas. No big deal.

Your referrence link was about red beans, not our popular blackeye pea or 'beans'. I know there are at least 100 species of beans, both poisnous and edible.

Personally, I have never eaten red beans, but I know people who have. My grand-mother would tell us about some type of beans they were forced to eat as kids because of hunger, "we soaked it for 4 days, cooked it for 24 hours, and had the dog taste it before we did" My discussion is focused on blackeye pea, because some species of beans could kill you.

Another point with your ref. was that it was an experiment in mice- now, you know that man and mice don't share similar diet, colonic anatomy, or even social influence of excessive gas production-farting.

Naijaking thank you very much. Nothing de happen as you said.
I have never disputed the nutritional value of beans. have not also disputed that gas production from bacterial break down beans is not normal, in fact I did say it is not disputable.

If you take a closer look at the first link I posted, you will see that it said that red beans has the greatest amount of lecitin (phytoaglutinin) and even gave you the percentage of lecithin in white beans(black eyed pea) which you are talking about. They all contain this guy.

Although we all know that when we soak beans or boil it for a while and discard the water, the extent of diarrhoea reduces, look the link from FDA as was posted above
http://www.fns.usda.gov/fdd/facts/hhpfacts/FS-PeasBlack-eyedDry.pdf
In all the methods of preparation, they advised that you soak or boil for a while a remove the. I do not think it is the fiber that is meant to be removed with the water. I guess it is the chemical that causes the wahala. How you see ma point?



From a surgical point of view, any agent that induces colonic diarheae also activates the lymphocytes lining the colons, not just with beans.

Diarheae or not, the most important point is moderation. There are different types of fiber-soluble and insoluble, but they produce same effect- makes you go.

Have you ever wondered why beans is always on the menu of institutionalized settings- prisons, hospitals, boarding schools? Despite the bad name, it's the only cheaply available food that has been found to ward off malnutrition.

Many people don't know, I too didn't know when I was in boarding house at Nike Boys, we thought that Wednesday and Saturday beans was a punishment sent directly from hell.

naijaking1:
Beans or black eye pea as they are called in the US is probably the best food anyone could eat.

Here is a USDA link to the nutritional contents of beans:

http://www.fns.usda.gov/fdd/facts/hhpfacts/FS-PeasBlack-eyedDry.pdf

It is definitely FALSE that excessive stooling after beans meal is secondary to some "phytoagglutinins that cause a translocation of bacteria into lymph nodes," or to improper drainage of the water, or because the gods were angry with you as you were consuming the meal.

If you look at the nutritutional contents, you would see that 1 serving, say 1 cup has as much as 11g of fiber. The fiber is what makes you stool, nothing else. Now the more you eat, because it tastes nice or because you're hungry, you may forget that you may be taking a little bit too much fiber than you need.

The next characteristics of legumes or beans is just too much 'fart, gas, or mess' Beans provides you with so many essential minerals than any food group out there that there is a saying that 'if you only have one opportunity to eat one meal in 48 hours, then beans is your food'

Legumes and especially beans contain purines; one of the essential building blocks of DNA, amino acids, and proteins. This high protein compound is what gets broken down by enzymes and bacteria into different types of gases- ammonia, sulfur, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc. ---- that you pass the gas as 'fart'.

Passing fart, or gas is also a good sign that the beans you've eaten is being successfully used to replace deficient amino acids and minerals in the body.

Without sounding like a beans salesman, I would like to recommend that you eat beans today, and at least once a week. Beans is one of the natural foods found to reduce your risk of heart attack(it contains 0 fat/cholesterol), reduce constipation, and replenishes lost essential minerlas.

I would like the opinion of registered nutritionists and other physicians in the forum on this topic.
