How do you tell an old with nonenal that he smells or friends with bad body odor?

Good hygiene helps in those cases but for virginia, it is more delicate. Sometimes douching and flushing make it worse by dislodging the good bacteria.

It boils down to flora balance. A culture has to be done to identify the smelly bacteria. See a doctor or pharmacist near you.

You can also try self care by trial and error.

Some of us have short memories. This and the one last week are not new. It cut across groups and States.

Father working night and day, mothers denying yourselves so that your children can cope with their friends; your children get drunk and forget where they come from.

As for looters, your children are watching you!

Let me admit that most Africans in the States know that many African Americans are hostile towards them. But Africans understand why. So it does not change Africans empathy for African Americans.

If anything, Africans, other minorities and women (both white and Black) are beneficiaries of African Americans struggle and leadership on Civil Right. Yet, they are the group that benefit least from their own spilled blood.

As for Africans and Nigerians in particular in Africa, they have as much gullible people as any other groups, not more. The reason Africans, West Indians and Nigerians succeed more than Black Natives in U.K and the States is that nobody travels that far out to go and fail. They work twice as hard more than they would in their own countries. The same is true of Black Americans out of the States.

If you leave two or more mice in a pen for experiment. They will grow well in number. But left in the same pen without more space, food and water, they start eating one another. Go anywhere, any ghetto to in Europe, America, Middle East and Africa. It boils down to the same thing.

It is a fallacy that Nigerians in Diaspora agree on one leader. No reasonable people would agree on any of the three Presidential candidates we had in Nigeria except one country and we will find out which in November.

Again, Nigerians have a country, resources, arable land and unprecedented deluge of foreign income from Oil that turn them into Poverty Capital of the world.

Why? Greed, instantaneous gratification, readymade goods and conspicuous spending.

Please note that it is true that Nigerians of all ethnic groups want change of leadership, only one group agreed and voted solidly for one candidate. Other ethnic groups voted for two or more candidates. We cannot say because capable Nigerians at home rarely have the opportunity to govern, Nigerians in Diaspora are better.

Most of the rulers in Nigeria were members of Diaspora at one point. Only Nigerians at home can save Nigeria. This is why African American wish they have the same opportunities as Nigerians.

You forgot American Indians, worse off than African Americans.

You forgot Voting Rights clouded by Electoral College and Gerrymandering.

You forgot that women thought they secured Abortion Right fifty years ago.

Those are the good old days.

Germans, Japanese and Chinese got respect because they made economic power out of their countries.

African, what have you made out of Nigeria? The richest country in Africa flowing with wara and honey turned into poverty capital of the world by unprecedented inflow of foreign Oil Income.

Can we point a finger to African Americans while the other four point to US.

Sladem05:
I will agree that good ole days is a lie. You can’t apply that to any section of history whether it’s now or when the very first humans were born 300,000 years ago. The world has always sucked.It’s only MAGA and delusional white conservatives that believe in it. Good Ole Days but they forgot about US imperialism, racial segregation,discrimination and so on.

But Blacks weren’t the only ones that had a hard time. Asians, Hispanics and even whites did.

Slavery happened allover the world.

Japanese and Germans were put in concentration camps, Chinese people were banned from entering America. Arab Muslims are still discriminated in the country today but why have none fared as bad as black Americans have?

Give up this victim mentality.

I think this Sladem05 is too ignorant to be a well informed African.

SirTee15 killed all your ignorance by asking you about Black Wall Street.

You do not understand what the intolerance or any successful African American business mean in America. From Agricultural farms to G.I Bill after WWII.

Sladem05 still cannot understand or answer the question of why you hardly find poor African American outside America. He keeps on comparing Africans and West Indians in Europe to African Americans in America.

Again, how many poor African Americans do you know outside America, including Nigeria?

The case of Black Wall Street should have told you the forces of evil in America is solidly against them. It is like building and making progress only to be destroyed and starting all over.

This is why they campaign about their "good old days".

Why do some of you guys lie viciously? He actually shook hands with Tinubu. It depends on the side of camera. The President of Nigeria should have been at the center though, not behind anyone.

If you only reserve half of the venom for Obi who was in the same drug trade as Tinubu. But you are shamelessly blinded by hypocrisy.

Ndi beriberi.

By the way. Let us praise Nigerians, traditional attire should have flooded the stage not English attire.

Finally, Nigerians are asking the right questions.

Where does the money to finance bloated education relevant to the countries you are going to be underemployed, come from?

This is what breeds corruption and lack of support for leading universities in our country. These are people who drain our educational system, hospital and job creation in favor of developed countries looking patrons to finance their economy.

Yet our politicians and their worse gullible followers beg for foreign investment when they invest twice or more in foreign countries.

They sold us religion in exchange for our resources. They are selling us foreign education in exchange for local talents that are discriminated against at best or wasted.

This is a curse!

There are good hardworking conscientious people in Nigeria even by a glance of the posts here.

Every country deserve the politicians that rule them because instead of fighting back they melt when backed into the wall.

Yes, some of our students might have overdone it fighting for Chancellor of University of Lagos or fighting for subsidized food but they were at least, alive to their civic responsibilities.

This colomentality of leaders and average citizens subsidizing rich economies all over the world is insane. Ask those who studied abroad in those days. They worked full-time and schooled full-time to pay their ways. Some even have families at home to support. Despite all these, they return home to become your teachers in various fields.

We now have irresponsible leaders that followers cannot hold accountable. Someone suggested that until they purge all the leaders of their loot, nobody should pay taxes or fees for them to steal.

Fair and noteworthy. But who is going to hold them accountable? Instead of Labor Unions and the poor to fight the most outrageous salaries for politicians in the world, they want 100,000k minimum wage! This nah craze.

We've lost our way and sensibility. Money has no value, it is what you do with it that has value. In the countries we run to, they hate inflation and the Scandinavian countries care about the difference between minimum and maximum salaries.

Face it, most of us are worse than our leaders and would do worse if given the chance to lead.

LegendHero,

Ai dey enjoy you.

Omota Agbalagba!

When you are abroad making 16 euro or dollars an hour translating to about 32 thousand a year. It is about 40 million naira a year.

Wow! Let us Japa for 40 millions a year no matter how qualified or better paid you are. Sell everything and move abroad jor.

Until you realize that you cannot live comfortably abroad with 32k after paying 24 thousand on rent!

What about gas heating, electricity, transport, clothing etc.

Hardships in Naija for the poor everywhere but the better paid only want money not better life.

jara:
Nuhu Ribadu probed and jailed his superior, Chief Inspector General of Police Tafa Balogun under President Obasanjo.

Be real those days are gone gone gone!

As long as there are people defending and making excuses for this guy are around, Nigeria will never prosper.

It is not a curse.

If dem born Tinubu well, let him try. Even Buhari was scared to avenge Banbagida.

The cabals come from the South too, not only North.

Apart from Obasajo, does anyone know of any tail or head of state that has been held accountable?

Not even Tinubu dare try the big boys. They and their cronies flood bureau du Change at will.

OUR CURRENCY IN WAREHOUSE GRAVE & VAULT DEPRECIATE BUREAU DE CHANGE

How can local currencies appreciate when we have excess hidden in graveyards, warehouses, bullions vans and safes that can flood the bureau du change at will? We all know this, yet we keep on ignoring the obvious. By repeatedly ignoring facts and expecting different results is the height of hypocrisy. You cannot quench fire without turning off the source. As African politicians punish us with impunity, instead of fighting back, we back into the wall and melt into the wall.

Since people who gain by their repeated indifference are the benefactors, pretending they are working to solve the real problems, we are all in trouble. They spend lavishly like a drunken sailor. While privileged Africans in our local communities swallow foreign currencies that cannot be printed in their countries, without sweat. They cannot work their butts off like the people earning euros, dollars and other foreign countries abroad. Could have been prudent if they did.

Banks are commercial enterprises that trade on people’s savings by lending out to borrowers at predetermined interest rates. When the interest rates get too high, it dampens business activities discouraging those who want to start businesses and employ workers. Low interest rates encourage the society and spur commercial activities. The interest rates are so high in many African countries, you wonder who can afford to borrow from banks, make enough profit in order to pay back.

If banks and financial houses are not able to borrow, the banks cannot make a profit from people’s savings. So the banks and financial houses are raided by unscrupulous businesses and politicians. When these banks are no longer viable and they go bankrupt, people lose their life savings. Unfortunately, new generation banks are not in the business of savings and lending but into attracting life savings with high rates of return and looted hidden local currency. Once they gather enough to share within, they liquidate and ask for a government bailout

MEEVEET:
75 billion for SMEs
90 billion for Hajj

Then let's act like we don't know why the naira is falling

Nigerians are overwhelmed.

Too many injustices to protest about. Can anyone believe that Azikiwe Jonathan ruled for four years of: it's our money and we can do whatever we want with it and left Environmental Degradation in Niger Delta worse than he met it.

Alamsco and Ibori never stole, it's our money. Dansuki, father xmass never stole, we authorized him. Buhari, the worst terrorists and looter enabler never stole. Since copied Southerners.

Tell me, who loves Nigeria?

The easy temporary measures do not appreciate local currency, they only give time to local currency hoarders to unleash at will their old crumbling naira from vaults, graveyards, file cabinets and wherever they hide the loot. Of course depreciating local currency further as they besiege Bureau du Change again. If anyone thinks these money launders do not know the timing and when to flood the market, think again.

Many countries have their form of Bureau du Change and Central Bank but most African countries turned theirs into round tripping enterprises or private banks for the privileged politicians and their cronies. As other countries have checks and balances in place, so do our local regulators that just ignored them with impunity in Africa. It started with the military strong men and got worse regardless of civilian or military government.

Good but I am surprised I could not find where anyone wrote about converting mechanical or physical energy while the vehicle is moving into electrical energy.

This plus solar on top can make the vehicle run longer. So while one battery or part of the same battery is working, another part can be converting the movement into stored or charged electrical energy.

I remember this from our highschool physics a century ago! Some of you may remember the textbook from Abbott, I think.

beryledibor:
The battery should be removable so that you can keep one charging while working with another otherwise it's not sustainable.

Charging station can also be established only for changing removable batteries.

Little by little petrol dependence will vanished

Nigerians are some of those people that brag that my failure is better than yours.

I just don't like this guy called Portable.

But you have to be a fo0l for him to take as expensive car from you without "paying a dime".

By the way, I don't think you are that much of a fo0l.

People use the phrase Education Is not Common Sense all the time. True

But anyone with Common Sense will get an education. Even then, the more informed you are, the more you realize how much more there is to learn.

Look at the richest countries in the world, they become rich through invention, discovery and and and stolen patents or designs of others.

America stole intellectual properties from Europe, Japan and other Asians stole from America. E.g the Automobile Industry.

Europe stole invention, discovery and intellectual properties of Africa.

Today, Africans are in pursuit of printed papers, a promissory note. The derivatives of invention, discovery and stolen intellectual properties.

Africans Think beyond your noses!

Wealthy people are now creating their own charity and scholarships rather than giving it to those who use it as salary and give peanuts or crumbs out in the name of poor children.

If you are that smart why are you so poor or if you are that wealthy why are you not smart?

We keep on hearing and reading about BILLIONS since the former Vice President made a staggering revelation last year about one soul making off with Billions. He promised they are after them.

Who is after them? Are they untouchable? Are these people too close to Buhari?

Yet, some Nigerians are coming out to defend them! If they cannot touch Buhari, leave Emefiele alone.

My gosh, are these Nigerians or they are from space?

It is ironic that it takes a great deal of money to cross legally and illegally into the borders of European and North American countries. The fortune is not coming from the poor people in Africa or South America but from the middle class based on the perception of freedom and better life which they could have fought for in their own countries. Every country has the oppressors class that live on the cheap labor of the lower class.

What about individuals that made money from legal and illegal activities? They also squandered it like their leaders, monkey see monkey do. It demonstrates that when Africans, even from other countries make money, they do not know how to invest in legitimate businesses that would catapult their communities and countries into development for the benefit of their masses. What good is wealth that only benefits a few leaders and their cronies?

Those who stood up, fought and died for Civil Rights again and again in every generation become jealous when they see those who refuse to pay the sacrifices cross their borders looking for what they refused to fight for at home, in their own countries. Even worse, they resent migrants who filled or take advantage of the opportunities their Freedom Fighters made possible in their own country.

People who believe that the pursuit of personal pleasure is more important than the common good or liberation of their communities from abject poverty are simply incapable of moving their children or any African country forward. They are pleasure seekers at the expense of their people. Most of them have sold their children abroad the way our chiefs sold their people into slavery. They lose those children that hardly look back forever.

The difference between the old slavery by the chiefs and the new political money launderers is paying foreigners to take us into their countries. While most African leaders sought foreign investment abroad as salvation, they laundered more money out than most foreign investors can bring in. Since they follow the advice of foreign investors, their focus is how to make more money outside than to invest inside.

Though some African artists are finally breaking through, personal fame is not enough to lift a whole community, country or continent out of poverty. Even Michael Jackson could not lift most African Americans up the economic ladder in the United States. A tree cannot make a forest. But if Nigeria with a huge population of 200 million could not lift up Africans, we must look for other countries; even as small as Losoto, to lead Africa back into wealthy forest.

Foreign money that is taken to foreign countries to purchase goods, materials and services create factories, jobs and value there while local currencies depreciate in value. The more local currencies it takes to buy foreign currencies, the more local people have to work to buy the same goods, materials and services year after year. In other words, the price of the same imported tractors doubles every couple of years because it takes more local currencies to buy. Money that can be used to uplift the same communities they call zoos.

Yet, a token few Nigerians lucky enough to be managers in foreign countries know that they are being watched daily waiting for them to fail. They dare not steal a penny! It does not make a difference what balance and check are instituted at home, Nigerian managers would beat the system and go to jail knowing there are ways out of jails. Those that ran away regretted it when they saw how those convicted in foreign land for money laundering got a hero's welcome home. The ones that stayed home and bare the consequences got absolved of criminal charges.

PRODIGALS THINK MODERN SLAVERY ABROAD IS WORTH DYING FOR

African politicians knew that some wealthy and middle class voters sought a foreign country they could relocate to, with one to ten million local currencies. One politician started thinking about election promises. He promised to make traveling overseas easier to divert attention from their failures, if voters would elect him. He would then govern over deserted country so that he could loot it blind without opposition. After all, he had sent all his children and wife abroad too.

Many Africans are worse than the leaders we always blame in order to excuse ourselves for the same actions we blame leaders for. Given the chance, many Africans would do the same thing. If the first hard earned fortune prodigals make is to look for a foreign country where they can squander it, imagine what they would do with the country's Central Bank. Even villagers conspire with foreigners to loot natural resources without the knowledge of local governments!

Some talented poor African children had to be supported with grants and scholarships so that they could return home to build because the number of universities were few then. These days, private students that were pampered with allocation from the Central Bank through moneybags are given foreign scholarships. The exchange students loved their stay abroad so much that they refused to come back home!

What we have are African countries that cannot furnish or rehabilitate primary schools buildings, supply chairs and desks but have hard earned foreign incomes from natural resources allocated to “good” education abroad. We know that anyone that cares more about patronizing both private and public schools abroad at the expense of local schools at home is worse than prodigal parents and children.

It used to be our pride that Africans that studied abroad working hard to pay their fees could not wait to return home to start businesses, become Activists and teachers. Today, wealthy Students patronize private schools with high tuition for courses that are widely available in African countries. Mind you these are not Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics students that can come back and make their countries grow or become world class rivals of the developed countries. Most of the Youths have the vigor to fight for justice in their countries.

The Nigerians Middle-class and the leaders must stop laundering money and talents that can start local projects and small businesses out of their Country. Most foreigners in Nigeria know that it is one of the best places to make money in the world. Yet, greedy Nigerians think they can make more money faster in the Western and Eastern world. Only to be disappointed when they face reality outside and too ashamed to go back home as failures. If they work half as hard in Nigeria as they do outside, Nigeria would be a place to point to and reclaim its past glory as the world's most successful African community.

What do Africans do when Africans make their first million? They sell everything they have in exchange for tickets and visas to countries that despise them. The fact that Africans are no longer forced into slave ships but break their necks risking sea and desert or fly on Boeing 747 to reach modern sugarcane plantations diminished their worth all over the world. They point to their communities as zoos only good for the burials of their dead bodies.

See what Nigeria has become. Old men are not perfect and do go overboard sometimes. But the solution us to beat up an old man?

Do not take the law into your hands. Report him to proper authorities or his family members.

You can imagine how Ashewo survived with different sperms without any adverse or allergic reaction by the fetus.

Some babies might develop skin reaction.

Funny though, some women that are prone to miscarriages are advised to stay away from sex for the first trimester.

Opportunity for other men to knack!

Congratulations!
