OlaoChi:
so which are you? Pounded Yam eater?

Is it a crime to eat pounded yam? Even akpu-eating flattheads and amala-eating sophisticates are proud of their foods.

MrsPhyno:
True. But, technically has a woman ever done such to a man, and I mean that even metaphorically speaking.

The 'materialistic things' both sexes want from each other: men - beauty/looks/physicality whatever; women - money$$$$ basically.

Few women will say that this rich guy ain't smart so I won't marry him, which kind of goes in tandem with the men not caring about women's intelligence.

Thank you for emphasizing my point

darkenedrebel:
solving calculus or cramming 100 pages of an history book doesn't make one/her smart. that's just knowledge she acquired from poring through text books, or by being attentive in class- it's big misconception as knowledge & intelligence are not the same.

•knowledge fades as techniques & technologies come & go, but Intelligence sustains..

so yes, if a girl can't solve calculus, it doesn't mean she's not intelligent- what it implies is that she's not knowledgeable in that field..
If a doctor can't paddle a boat, does that make him stewpid? no, it only means he's not knowledgeable as the fishermen in that field of expertise

I see you missed the class when your teacher taught speaking figuratively. The statement points to the fact that men don't care if a woman is intelligent.

Awesome development

No fewer than 50 countries benefited from the $1bn spent by 30,000 Nigerians on medical tourism in 2014, an Internet portal, Gapdoc.com, has revealed.

Forty per cent of the amount, according to the portal, was spent by Nigerians to get medical care in India alone.

The Chief Executive Officer of the company, Saurabh Maskara, named other countries that benefited from the rest of the money to include Singapore and Malaysia, among others. As a result of the huge amount of money spent on seeking medical help abroad, Maskara said the beneficiary countries had now identified medical tourism as their national industry.

He, however, noted that many Nigerians seeking medical help abroad lacked access to the right information that could help locate hospitals where they could get efficient and affordable treatment.

Maskara said, "Gapdoc.com has resolved to remove the noticeable non-transparent practices which existed in the system.

"Gapdoc.com is trying to fix this problem by partnering JCI accredited hospitals and allowing patients to communicate with hospitals directly.

"Apart from the rich, the poor who cannot afford medical travel are often lucky to have organisations and good hearted philanthropists to support them. Majority of people travel for four major areas namely: cardiology, orthopaedic, renal dialysis issue and cancer.

"India issues M type visa for medical tourism where most Nigerian head for affordable high quality health care. Many Indian hospital chains are in the process of opening up hospitals in Nigeria.

"India requires you to have Oral Polio Vaccination certificate and yellow fever certificate, except for infants below the age of six for travelling to that country.

"High quality hospitals in India such as Arthimis, Max, and Primus, among others offer heart bypass for as low as $7,000 compared to $130,000 in the United States and $40,900 in UAE. Lot of them provide cashless services to policy holders of insurance Aetna Global Service, International BUPACIGNA International, and International SOS, GSG/ Tiecare International.

"Companies in the Unites States often give incentives to employees to travel abroad for medical treatment to bring down their operating costs. Lot of these people are travelling eastwards to Asian destination."

THE Federal government and indigenes of Onitsha, Anambra State, on Saturday shunned the burial ceremony of late Chief Chukwuma Bamidele Azikiwe, the first son of the first president of Nigeria, late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, the Owelle of Onitsha.

The Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe and his cabinet chiefs were also conspicuously absent at the burial, an action which did not go down well with the mourners and sympathisers during the burial.

The late Chukwuma was a high chief in Onitsha.
In his sermon, the Anglican Archbishop of Awka, Most Rev Maxwell Anikwenwa (emeritus), regretted that people politicised the death of Chukwuma, which could have caused the shunning of the burial by those who were supposed to be present.
He described Chukwuma as a selfless and generous person that was not interested in acquiring earthly wealth but pursued service to God and man.

Speaking on the occasion, former national chairman of the All Progressive Grand Aliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh, said “the most important thing is for one to achieve heaven,” adding that it was not the number of mourners that mattered but the heart with which the people received the demise of the person in question. He urged the brother of late Chukwuma, Ambassodor Emeka A. Azikiwe and the entire family to take heart, adding that God in His infinite mercies would grant them the fortitude with which to bear the loss.

In his tribute, the Igbo spiritual Leader and Ogirisi Igbo, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, urged the family to take heart, while noting that the late Chukwuma fought the Igbo cause.

“He was not interested in acquiring wealth even if he had the opportunity as the son of the first president of this great country,” Ezeonwuka stated.
Also speaking, Governor Willie Obiano, who was represented by the Commissioner for Special duty, Hon Uzoamaka Onuegbu, said that the state government had become an integral part of Zik’s family.

“You can see how we kept the compound tidy for the burial and we hope the Federal Government will complete its work on the library project that is currently going on here,” he said.

Speaking on the occasion, the Ambassador Azikiwe described his late brother as a selfless and generous person that was not interested in acquisition of wealth.

While I enjoy giving amala-eaters a hard time on NL, we still have to be honest: their culture and tradition is one of the few things in Africa that makes me proud to be African. Unfortunately, some of these amala-eaters don't even appreciate their TR because they have been brainwashed by Arabs (Islam) and Europeans (Christianity). The akpu-eating chest-beaters are already lost because those ones are so brainwashed, they don't even believe they are Africans. Their Biafra leader, Nnamdi Kanu, thinks he is a white man - and they follow Catholicism like it is their life and soul.

See her lips - she injected her own lips to look plump and wanted to do the same for the guy's bura.

Anything that promotes African TR is good in my book - well done BBC.

absoluteSuccess:
Its one of the 5 largest religion, but does it promise salvation to its adherent or 'its right because its ours?' What is the teneth of Yoruba religion?

salvation is a white man's scam - something you have apparently swallowed hook, line and sinker. You don't have to comment on TR topics, you head is too far up the white man's a$$ its impossible for you to see anything anymore.
