adioolayi:
like seriously Well...that's your opinion... Baba Suwe was only funny in his act of giving Yoruba adage a new meaning back then...when he dropped that uniqueness, his jokes became dry.

That guy..Okunu is just very good....his jokes are original and he plays with his lines perfectly.
As for Latin...he is in a class of his own...he usually blows hot and cold..more so, not always acting a comedy role.

He said Baba Suwe in his prime

I quite agree with him

Benblaq:
if he is as funny as u guys say'''hw kum am jst seeing him for d first time?

sweetcocoa:
Well I guess it depends on the areas she's talking about.

Women can compete with men, can't they? Plus how does any of that affect potentials?

I mean choose profession because you have passion for it. Don't let your motivation of going into a particular field be "I going there to compete with men".

dollyjoy:
I don't believe in equality, what matters most is respect and understanding in any form of affair. Women can never be equal with men,there is reason why God made man first. I think the sooner women accept their place in the society/men's life the better..

Huggies and kisses

Oyimeoyimemua:
then close the whole of ur eyes to resist them

To resist temptation, closing of eyes won't work. You flee, leaving the environment as soon as possible.

sweetcocoa:
I'm still to understand what they mean when they say "we can't be equal" like we can't both be humans?

These days, we have women saying stuff like "i can compete with men" instead of being herself and realizing her potentials

4. Are equally as educated as men in Yorubaland

5. Work hard just as men

6. Are equally as respected

Lucario007:
Now I am certain that everyone has seen or read the thread on this section about how christians should not be medical students, (found here: https://www.nairaland.com/3171894/why-true-christians-should-not)
Now I'm not here to argue about that, but rather to clear up a misconception I spotted in this post.


This bothers me more than it should, but I hate when things are attributed to the wrong sources, and the same thing occurs multiple times in that thread.

Please let me clear this up: the Medical symbol did NOT originate from the biblical tale of Moses and the serpent, but rather it has existed for years before then. It is often connected, but it is not the root source.

Allow me to clarify.

The image of serpents wrapped around a staff is a familiar one in the medical field, decorating pharmaceutical packaging and hospitals alike. Snakes bites are generally bad news, and so the animal might seem ill-fitting as the symbol of the medical profession, but the ancient emblem actually has a quite a story behind it.

It's actual name is The Rod Of Asclepius.
The Rod of Asclepius takes its name from the god Asclepius, a deity associated with healing and medicinal arts in Greek mythology.
As a matter of fact, the original Hippocratic Oath began with the invocation "I swear by Apollo the Physician and by Asclepius and by Hygieia and Panacea and by all the gods ..."
Asclepius derived his name from healing soothingly and from deferring the withering that comes with death. For this reason, therefore, they give him a serpent as an attribute, indicating that those who avail themselves of medical science undergo a process similar to the serpent in that they, as it were, grow young again after illnesses and slough off old age; also because the serpent is a sign of attention, much of which is required in medical treatments. The staff also seems to be a symbol of some similar thing. For by means of this it is set before our minds that unless we are supported by such inventions as these, in so far as falling continually into sickness is concerned, stumbling along we would fall even sooner than necessary.

Of course some of you might feel that this is hogwash and that your versions of the origin with Moses is better, but the fact remains that Greek Mythology is at least 5000 years old where as the Bible is just 2000 years old, thus making the Greek Origins more likely to be the more factual of the two.
This however does not make medicinal practices or the symbol "cultist" or anything of the sort, as many things in modern everyday life are based on Greek/Roman/Pagan mythology, from your months of the year to even your days of the week (January for instance is named after the god of beginnings Janus, and Thursday is supposedly named after Thor).

Also, please note that the correct medical symbol is with one snake on the rod, not two. If it has two snakes, then you have mixed it up with the Rod/Staff of Hermes.

Thank you for reading, and I hope the mods will help this reach front page in order to educate and enlighten more people so as to prevent them from making the mistake.

Olodo!
Before the Greek, there was Moses.

goodman3:
Good day!.....
I believe there are Christians in here. I am here to speak on an issue which I have taken time to think through.
I see a lot of christian folks in the medical profession and most times I ask what they are doing there. Every medical doctor is under an oath which Its origin is not fully known. Before u can be a doctor, u will have to swear the HIPPOCRATIC OATH......on the day of your INDUCTION. in the Christian faith, it was clearly stated that swearing of any form is not allowed and considered a sin. Why then do I see Christians in medical school? Are they not aware of this OATH? Or did they just choose to turn a blind eye to the truth?
The medical profession has always been like a cult since the days of Hippocrates. It was initially designed with knowledge of secrets of the practice that should only be passed down to children of physicians in the olden days. Medical practise actually started like a brotherhood/cult.....the medical logo says it all(a snake wrapping a cross).....my point here is anybody who calls himself a true Christian cannot become a medical doctor without SIN (TAKING THE OATH).


So my dear Christian friends, are you really for God or do you choose to go against his instruction just because you want to enjoy the gains of being a medical doctor?.......THATS BEING A HIPPOCRITE!

I m afraid your thinking is foolish.

In Simi's voice: Shey na you foolish

Before any body blame me for carrying along my original credentials, I usually travel to anywhere with my credentials (those in the labour market would understand my reason).
Secondly, I planned branching in Kd after the exercise.

It is wrong travelling with your original credentials if not requested

1. Teach me thy best that all the world may know,
What it is to have come from thee,
Teach me that I into the world may go,
Struggling ever for thy fame, Igbobi,
Refrain: “Give me a torch, which shall shine

And pour on all afar and near
Its radiance divine
Let hill and vale these tidings bear
Wherever there’s an Igbobian
There also is a noble Nigerian.”

2. Teach me that I the word of God mighty to save
Everyone from lure of sin and sty.
Teach me that I may grow up kind and brave
Self-denying for the poor and needy.
Refrain: “Give me a torch,...
3. Give me such knowledge necessary for bliss
As will make my life’s career a jewel:
Not only subjects called Humanities
But those called the Sciences must join in.
Refrain: “Give me a torch,…

4. Teach me those habits of a gentleman
As will make me clean and quick and clear
Teach me to play my part well in a plan
And in sports to win or lose with fair cheer

Refrain: “Give me a torch,…

5. So shall it be that, having learnt thy best,
I shall proudly claim to have come from thee.
And when from thee into the world I’ve passed
I will struggle for thy fame, Igbobi.
Refrain: “Give me a torch, which shall shine
And pour on all afar and near
Its radiance divine
Let hill and vale these tidings bear
Wherever there’s an Igbobian
There also is a noble Nigerian

Dangerous Cons: If your phone accidentally falls inside water, you can't remove the battery under 5secs. The more the battery stays inside a wet phone, the less your chances of recovering the phone.

2. You ll have to spend more on battery replacement. That is, cost of the battery + cost of fixing it

3. High risk of damaging something else in the phone if battery is being replaced by non competent engineer
