May God have mercy on him!

Uche2nna:
If it is illegal, then they should respect that. You don't go into a country that is anti-gay and start making funny moves

I think this summarises it. An Afghan judge on being criticised for the trial on a m uslim convert to Christianity(its a crime there to convert) said the western countries should learn to respect other nation's laws,he said for instance(talking to a european journalist) "in your country it is legal for 2 women to marry,here its an abomination,would I then protest at your laws?"

While not supporting laws that trample on people's civil liberties,people should learn to respect other's point of view.

Why would Obasanjo bequeath on our country an unhealthy man ? I wish the president quick recovery & God's guidance.



[center]Doctors Insist Yar'adua

has Churg Strauss Syndrome

Saharareporters
[/center]
On May 29, during an interview session with a select group of journalists to mark the first anniversary of his usurped presidency, Umaru Yar’adua tried to downplay the severity of his health problems. But several medical doctors knowledgeable about his physical condition have reaffirmed to Saharareporters that Yar'adua was diagnosed a few years ago for Churg Strauss disease—and has been on a regimen of treatment since. According to the same sources, Yar'adua is also dogged by asthma, which may have been responsible for his persistent cough and labored breathing throughout the interview session. Yar’adua admitted to having been treated for a kidney condition in 2000. Even so, he tried to create the impression that his symptoms, which he admitted to in the interviews, were unrelated. But the doctors who spoke anonymously to Saharareporters said the symptoms Yar'adua admitted to on national television “are consistent with the Churg Strauss syndrome.”



Dr. Salisu Barau Banye, Yar'adua’s personal physician, has been treating him over the years for asthma. Our sources indicated that, while governor of Katsina, Yar’adua had equipped the General Hospital in Katsina with dialysis machines to take care of his kidney treatments. Dr. Banye acted as the hospital’s medical director at the time. In the carefully packaged, nationally televised live interview, Yar'adua admitted that his arteries had dilated by 21/2 diameters, a condition that our sources describe as “vasculitis,” a major feature of Churg Strauss syndrome. Churg Strauss has a plethora of other symptoms, which may include symptoms such as psychiatric reactions as agitation or restlessness, which manifested by the inflation of the arteries of the brain. The syndrome also includes a condition called angioedema (accumulation of fluid in the face, which can also indicate the accumulation of fluid in the upper airway and compromise breathing in extreme cases), well-known cause of sudden death-a swelling of the face, can affect the ability to breathe, which Yar'adua rightly admitted during the chat.



One of the doctors who spoke to us said that medical ethics respects a patient’s right to confidentiality about his medical condition—but with some exceptions. “A man who is in public office owes it to the people he leads to be candid and upfront about his medical issues. From that perspective, President Yar'adua ought to have disclosed his true condition instead of picking and choosing symptoms that bugged him at different times of the life of the syndrome before it was properly diagnosed.” They allude to recent disclosures made by the two US frontline presidential candidates-Barack Obama and John McCain as well as Fidel Castro, and US Senator Edward Kennedy. Yar'adua, who takes steroids, was flown to Germany in 2007, weeks before the massively rigged April elections that brought him to power. He has since been in Germany twice for medical emergencies, even though one of the visits was disguised as a quasi-official visit to the country.



In April, Yar’adua was flown to Germany after he had a scary relapse. He spent 11 days in Wiesbaden , Germany , close to five of those days in intensive care where he was reportedly intubated (put on respiratory support). He has since been trying to sell the hoax that his ailment was a simple case of allergic drug reaction. According to one of our medical sources, “What he didn’t tell the Nigerian public during his media chat was the underlying reason behind the adverse reaction to anti-malaria medication. Nor did he reveal that he was self-medicating on Metalcafin, an off the counter anti-malaria medicine when in fact he didn't have malaria as he claimed.” Churg Strauss syndrome has no known cure, even though it can be managed to prolong the life of its victim. Even so, the doctors who spoke to Saharareporters insisted that a patient with Churg Strauss was not likely to have the energy to carry out demanding official duties.



Asked to comment on Yar’adua’s efforts to give an impression of improved health, one of the doctors said that a shot or two of carefully controlled substances—steroids--could always boost Yar'adua’s short-term ability to be active and to function at some minimum level of capability. “The steroids in his medicine cabinet could help him somewhat upbeat and healthy, but they certainly can’t sustain him for the long term,” said the doctor. During his presidential campaigns, Yar’adua had responded to lingering concerns about his state of health by bragging about his ability to play rounds of squash games.

I work in an office and recently there was these incident.
M y boss came to work all pissed and everything,she asked me for a document she i gave her the previous day and I told her she hadnt given it back. After searching for it i found it in a file where someone else kept it. She got mad and aske dwho kept it there,i said i wouldnt know.
In a matter of moments she leapt out of her seat and gave me a dirty slap.
My colleagues were all over me trying to hold me so i don't retaliate. I felt realy bad cause if it came down to a showdown,i'll beat the hell out of her.
MY most senior colleague called and asked me not to make a formal report to head office that it'll get her in trouble.
But everytime i remember the slap,i want to cry because,i'm not a defenceless person but now i can't help it.
What would you do in my shoes

Just reading this ,u made a really big mistake.
Reporting her was the way to go as you get her out of your system for good. Obviously her been sent to Abuja was like a 'last warning' you should have capitalised on that to get her sent away. Nobody's going to fire you for getting slapped , but reverse is the case as asault is a very serious offence anywhere,cos it has legal implications.

Now she'll be doing everything to get you in trouble & get you out of the way as it'll be difficult to refer to the slapping when the chips are down in the future.

I'll move you intensify your efforts with securing another job or if luck shines on you she slaps you again,PLS DO NOT HESITATATE to make a really detailed report to your HR dept.

take care

:p

Cool.
So our defense's essentially sorted.
What do y'all think about Obafemi Martins joining us?

If indeed Lampard's set to  leave Chelsea,I think we could also raid Stamford Bridge for SWP? _{please dnt crucify me ok?}

Kubed2klin:
[s]Well, Voronin has not done bad this season, so who ever is saying he should be loaned out, let him burn in hell.[/s] You'll Never Walk Alone!

Why 'burn in Hell' ? Is expressing one's opinion now a sin ?

State your case and leave the rest my friend.

Okay guys
Strategy Session:

Where do we go from here, 4th place and UCL Semis isn't good enough;what should we do to win the premiership next season.

Suggestions
1. Do away with the rotation policy
2.Voronin should be loaned out asap !

[center]_{please add to this list,cheers}[/center]

They are what is called in the showbiz sector today as NONEBRITIES, aka a group of people who have some socialite link to showbizz and then make a reality show to boost their "celeb" ratings, but arent actually famous for anything.

NONEBRITIES ! 

Really cool addition to my vocab, I guess thats exactly what they are

tho' the flick with Ray-j was simply off the hook !

Kim should stay in the porn business & stop this reality nonsense   

Or Rafa goes,there's no other way to put it my brother !

We're tired of playing second fiddle,out of the Big 4 ONLY Liverpool FC's yet to taste premiership glory !

Our seemingly unattainable number of league wins could be equalled by MANURE if they retain the league again,so premiership or . . . . . . . .

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE GUYS.

BIG SPENDING SHOULD GET US THE MUCH COVERTED PREMIERSHIP.
