There is no super sp/e/r/m here or whatever you call it. This is the miracle of modern medicine, quite different from the miracle of daman, but I digress. You get my point sha. wink

This is Clomid for you. Trade name is Clomiphene, an anti-estrogen  medication that works on the axis to inhibit the negative feedback of estrogen. Simply stated, this is all her fault. no super whatever anywhere.

Go back and look at that "Tummy Piksure"! shocked
You just have to spoil it, isnt it? All the accolades don get into your head grin

But God try sha, how did HE envisage such gargantuan 'enlargement and elasticity'?
God did not do anything? Must we give GOD all the credit?

The body, including the uterus, is very elastic. They can stretch as mush as required.  Thanks to evolution.

I mean, if a man should suddenly have reason for his Tummy to get that big within a few months (as against gradual enlargement over the years due to bad-lifestyle choices), The Man will surely pass-over to the great beyond!
I dont get your point. The enlargement was gradual. She did not become like that overnight. Thats 32 weeks of gradual enlargement for you.



On sober Reflections, I guess this episode should once again, remind our women that God has "specific purposes" in mind when he created them (just like he had a different purpose for men to)and trying to "be the man" at all cost, is a negation of those ideals.,.,, ,., and a 'self-destruct' yearning!
There is nothing God-ish here. Fifity years, more or less,  from now, trust me , we will start creating human beings ourselves, no need to have someone carry the baby for 9 months, not very efficient. The cloning of Dolly was just a tip of what is to come in the future. Craig venter has started the process. Just a matter of time before we create human beings ourselves. Give it time. It would mark the final demystification of your God, a non existent, largely mythical being. The real heroes here are the doctors that delivered the baby. The finest amongst us. They are the God that should get all the plaudits. Think about it for a second, when family member go  in to thier church or mosque and they fall on their knees and they pray to God that she  doesn't miscarry, or that she doesn't bleed to death, or that she doesn't suffer acute trauma/DIC from post-operative shock, who do you think they're praying to?

Now, you go ahead and read your Bible or Quran, and you may go to your church/ mosque/shrine, and with any luck you might win the annual raffle, but if you're[b] looking for God[/b], the one that delivered Bimbo Ayelabola of her quintuplets, he was  in different operating rooms at Homerton Hospital , London, on April 28th, 2011 delivering Quintuplets. and he doesnt like to be disrespected they way you just did.

My point is that there is no invincible hand, God, anywhere here. There is no plan, nothing. It just happens.

Lagos is a Yoruba man's land. If anything then, Edo. But it is not a NO MAN's land.

You see, it is this type of silly propaganda that makes people insecure and react violently. How can you go to another man's land, live in peace and later decalre it a no man's land since they do not disturb your presence there??

We have had a capital (Calabar) before Lagos yet Calabar is not a no man's land but GREEDY people will call Lagos a no man's land. This foolish talk lead the the death of Hausas in Lagos.

My Igbo neighbours, respect is reciprocal. Respect the owners of the land and inturn, you shall be given respect. Because the Yorubas are calm does not give you the license to bully them. One day, they will be pushed to the wall (if this continues) and we will all regret it.

[size=18pt]Caught Spying on Student, FBI Demands GPS Tracker Back[/size]


By Kim Zetter October 7, 2010 | 10:13 pm | Categories: Surveillance
A California student got a visit from the FBI this week after he found a secret GPS tracking device on his car, and a friend posted photos of it online. The post prompted wide speculation about whether the device was real, whether the young Arab-American was being targeted in a terrorism investigation and what the authorities would do.

It took just 48 hours to find out: The device was real, the student was being secretly tracked and the FBI wanted its expensive device back, the student told Wired.com in an interview Wednesday.

The answer came when half-a-dozen FBI agents and police officers appeared at Yasir Afifi’s apartment complex in Santa Clara, California, on Tuesday demanding he return the device.

Afifi, a 20-year-old U.S.-born citizen, cooperated willingly and said he’d done nothing to merit attention from authorities. Comments the agents made during their visit suggested he’d been under FBI surveillance for three to six months.

An FBI spokesman wouldn’t acknowledge that the device belonged to the agency or that agents appeared at Afifi’s house.

“I can’t really tell you much about it, because it’s still an ongoing investigation,” said spokesman Pete Lee, who works in the agency’s San Francisco headquarters.

Afifi, the son of an Islamic-American community leader who died a year ago in Egypt, is one of only a few people known to have found a government-tracking device on their vehicle.

His discovery comes in the wake of a recent ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals saying it’s legal for law enforcement to secretly place a tracking device on a suspect’s car without getting a warrant, even if the car is parked in a private driveway.

Brian Alseth from the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington state contacted Afifi after seeing pictures of the tracking device posted online and told him the ACLU had been waiting for a case like this to challenge the ruling.

“This is the kind of thing we like to throw lawyers at,” Afifi said Alseth told him.

“It seems very frightening that the FBI have placed a surveillance-tracking device on the car of a 20-year-old American citizen who has done nothing more than being half-Egyptian,” Alseth told Wired.com.

Afifi, a business marketing student at Mission College in Santa Clara, discovered the device last Sunday when he took his car to a local garage for an oil change. When a mechanic at Ali’s Auto Care raised his Ford Lincoln LS on hydraulic lifts, Afifi saw a wire sticking out near the right rear wheel and exhaust.

Garage owner Mazher Khan confirmed for Wired.com that he also saw it. A closer inspection showed it connected to a battery pack and transmitter, which were attached to the car with a magnet. Khan asked Afifi if he wanted the device removed and when Afifi said yes, Khan pulled it easily from the car’s chassis.

“I wouldn’t have noticed it if there wasn’t a wire sticking out,” Afifi said.

Later that day, a friend of Afifi’s named Khaled posted pictures of the device at Reddit, asking if anyone knew what it was and if it meant the FBI “is after us.” (Reddit is owned by CondeNast Digital, which also owns Wired.com).

“My plan was to just put the device on another car or in a lake,” Khaled wrote, “but when you come home to 2 stoned off-their-asses people who are hearing things in the device and convinced it’s a bomb you just gotta be sure.”

A reader quickly identified it as an Orion Guardian ST820 tracking device made by an electronics company called Cobham, which sells the device only to law enforcement.

No one was available at Cobham to answer Wired.com’s questions, but a former FBI agent who looked at the pictures confirmed it was a tracking device.

The former agent, who asked not to be named, said the device was an older model of tracking equipment that had long ago been replaced by devices that don’t require batteries. Batteries die and need to be replaced if surveillance is ongoing so newer devices are placed in the engine compartment and hardwired to the car’s battery so they don’t run out of juice. He was surprised this one was so easily found.

“It has to be able to be removed but also stay in place and not be seen,” he said. “There’s always the possibility that the car will end up at a body shop or auto mechanic, so it has to be hidden well. It’s very rare when the guys find them.”

He said he was certain that agents who installed it would have obtained a 30-day warrant for its use.

Afifi considered selling the device on Craigslist before the FBI showed up. He was in his apartment Tuesday afternoon when a roommate told him “two sneaky-looking people” were near his car. Afifi, already heading out for an appointment, encountered a man and woman looking at his vehicle outside. The man asked if Afifi knew his registration tag was expired. When Afifi asked if it bothered him, the man just smiled. Afifi got into his car and headed for the parking lot exit when two SUVs pulled up with flashing lights carrying four police officers in bullet-proof vests.

The agent who initially spoke with Afifi identified himself then as Vincent and told Afifi, “We’re here to recover the device you found on your vehicle. It’s federal property. It’s an expensive piece, and we need it right now.”

Afifi asked, “Are you the guys that put it there?” and the agent replied, “Yeah, I put it there.” He told Afifi, “We’re going to make this much more difficult for you if you don’t cooperate.”

Afifi retrieved the device from his apartment and handed it over, at which point the agents asked a series of questions – did he know anyone who traveled to Yemen or was affiliated with overseas training? One of the agents produced a printout of a blog post that Afifi’s friend Khaled allegedly wrote a couple of months ago. It had “something to do with a mall or a bomb,” Afifi said. He hadn’t seen it before and doesn’t know the details of what it said. He found it hard to believe Khaled meant anything threatening by the post.

“He’s a smart kid and is not affiliated with anything extreme and never says anything stupid like that,” Afifi said. “I’ve known that guy my whole life. “

The agents told Afifi they had other agents outside Khaled’s house.

“If you want us to call them off and not talk to him we can do that,” Afifi said they told him. “That was weird. [, ] I didn’t really believe anything they were saying.”

When he later asked Khaled about the post, his friend recalled “writing something stupid,” but said he wasn’t involved in any wrongdoing. Khaled declined to discuss the issue with Wired.com.

The female agent, who handed Afifi a card, identified herself as Jennifer Kanaan and said she was Lebanese. She spoke some Arabic to Afifi and through the course of her comments indicated she knew what restaurants he and his girlfriend frequented. She also congratulated him on his new job. Afifi recently got laid off from his job, but on the same day was hired as an international sales manager of laptops and computers for Cal Micro in San Jose.

The agents also knew he was planning a short business trip to Dubai in a few weeks. Afifi said he often travels for business and has two teenage brothers in Egypt whom he supports financially. They live with an aunt. His U.S.-born mother, who divorced his father five years ago, lives in Arizona.

Afifi’s father, Aladdin Afifi, was a U.S. citizen and former president of the Muslim Community Association here, before his family moved to Egypt in 2003. Yasir Afifi returned to the United States alone in 2008, while his father and brothers stayed in Egypt, to further his education he said. He knows he’s on a federal watchlist and is regularly taken aside at airports for secondary screening.

Six months ago, a former roommate of his was visited by FBI agents who said they wanted to speak with Afifi. Afifi contacted one agent and was told the agency received an anonymous tip from someone saying he might be a threat to national security. Afifi told the agent he was willing to answer questions if his lawyer approved. But after Afifi’s lawyer contacted the agency, he never heard from the feds again until he found their tracking device.

“I don’t think they were surprised that I found it,” he told Wired.com. “I’m sure they knew when I found it. [, ] One of the first questions they asked me was if I was at a mechanics shop last Sunday. I said yes, that’s where I found this stupid device under my car.”

Afifi’s attorney, who works for the civil liberties-focused Council on American Islamic Relations, said this kind of tracking is more egregious than the kind her office usually sees.

“The idea that it escalates to this level is unusual,” said Zahra Billoo. “We take about one new case each week relating to FBI or law enforcement visits [to clients]. Generally they come to the individual’s house or workplace, and there are issues that arise from that.”

However, she said that after learning about Afifi’s experience, other lawyers in her organization told her they knew of two people in Ohio who also recently discovered tracking devices on their vehicles.

Afifi’s encounter with the FBI ended with the agents telling him not to worry.

“We have all the information we needed,” they told him. “You don’t need to call your lawyer. Don’t worry, you’re boring. “

They shook his hand and left.

cap28:
Walmart are in nigeria for just one thing - to amass as much money as they can for themselves whilst using nigerian workers as modern day slaves - and judging from the way other multinationals are operating in nigeria they are going to be laughing all the way to the bank with the nigerian workers ending up as glorfied plantation workers.

Research the way they operate in america and you will find out the following:

they pay their employees starvation wages and offer mainly part time work

the average american employee makes $18,000 a  year whereas Walmart's profits as at the first quarter of 2011 (jan - march) were $3.3 million  

they take out life insurance policies on their employees known as "dead peasant's policies" which stipulate that when an employee dies a lump sum is paid to the employer and not the employee's family or dependants

most of their employees are so badly paid that they can not afford to have deductions made from their pay towards the companies health insurance or pension benefits and many have to supplement their meagre income with food stamps and other govt assistance programmes

none of their stores have union representation - (without union representation workers have no collective rights and can be sacked or have their pay cut  whenever the employer feels like)

they put local retailers out of business - by the way i thought goodluck jonathan was talking about BANNING foreign imports in order to allow the growth of local businesses -why then is he allowing WALMART into nigeria - doesnt he understand taht this will put hundreds of nigerians out of jobs and business?

If they can do all of the above to their own workers in america with the collusion of their own govt - imagine what they will get away with in nigeria.

since nigeria has no social welfare safety net in the form of food stamps, income support or subsidised housing it is very likely that many desperate nigerian workers will be forced to work for a lot less than their american counterparts and the lack of effective labour legislation will ensure substandard working conditions for nigerian employees.
Good job. You've said it all

No to WALMART in Nigeria. But knowing how Nigerians like to be like America, without the brains of Americans, I wont be surprised to see WALMART in Nigeria.
