Contrary to you, I don't feed on likes.
Contrary to you, Ishilove doesnt feed on attention.

If you have something nasty to say, be courageous enough to direct it to me. Don't drag others into your wars.

Ishilove, this comment needs more likes

Tufanja:
If we can cure Jackbizzle of:

- playing the victim (while being guilty of what he accuses others of)
- and blaming others (instead of doing self-reflection on his own role)

then we can also cure the nation he so criticizes...that suffers of the exact same mentality.

#people make or break the nation

Ishilove, like this comment na?

How the brain changes during development

From early stages of adolescence into adulthood, the brain experiences major growth and pruning. Initial developments begin near the back of the cortex, and tend to finish in the frontal areas (e.g. prefrontal cortex). There are a couple key ways by which the brain changes during various stages of development including: myelination as well as synaptic pruning.

Myelination: The nerve fibers in your brain are covered with a substance called “myelin.” This helps provide insulation so that neurons can effectively transmit signals. During developmental stages, the process of myelination promotes healthy brain functioning and allows for more complex functions.
Synaptic pruning: This is a process by which brain synapses are selectively “pruned” or eliminated throughout brain development. The process of synaptic pruning tends to peak during teenage years, and wanes in later adolescence. It should be noted that the pruning occurs until the brain is fully developed (likely into the mid-20s). This allows for more efficient brain functioning.
Increased connectivity: The connections between brain regions appear to be strengthened, thus making communication more efficient. The brain is able to transmit greater amounts of information between regions and becomes better at planning, dealing with emotions, and problem solving.
Executive functions: A majority of the executive functions that we develop are via the prefrontal cortex. This allows us to help assess risk, think ahead, evaluate ourselves, set goals, and regulate our emotions. Although many of these functions are developed during teenage years, they are still under slight development and strengthened until our mid-20s.
What does the prefrontal cortex do?

There are a variety of functions for which the prefrontal cortex is responsible. Although significant development of the prefrontal region occurs during adolescence, experts argue that it continues until (at least) our mid 20s.

Attention: The ability to focus on one thing, while ignoring distractions is a function of our prefrontal cortex. Those with attentional deficits (e.g. ADHD) may have abnormalities within the prefrontal region. Similarly, those who abuse drugs and/or alcohol may end up with attention problems as the brain forms.
Complex planning: The prefrontal region is responsible for complex planning. Anytime you set a goal that requires some degree of planning, your prefrontal region is at work. Planning out tasks in your day, developing a business plan, etc. – this region is responsible. An underdeveloped prefrontal region means that your planning capabilities haven’t been solidified.
Decision making: We often struggle to make good decisions when we are teenagers, but as we enter our 20s, our decision making improves. This is due to the fact that our prefrontal cortex helps us think logically and make more calculated assessments of situations. Our brain weighs the risks and tells us whether a certain behavior or choice is a good idea vs. a bad one.
Impulse control: Struggling with impulsivity is often related to deficits in the prefrontal cortex. The ability to maintain self-discipline and avoid impulsive behaviors hasn’t reached its peak until the 20s. This means that if you struggle with impulsivity when you’re 18, it may get better as you continue to age.
Logical thinking: Justifying behaviors based off of emotions rather than logic is common among teens. When the prefrontal cortex fully develops, logical thinking simultaneously improves. This means you will be better at rationalizing and making smarter choices. It also means that your ability to write and solve math problems will improve.
Organized thinking: Organizing your thinking can be difficult when you’re a teen. A barrage of thoughts are typically influenced by hormones and you may have concentration difficulties. As you continue to age and your thoughts become more organized. The organization of your thoughts is a result of your prefrontal cortex.
Personality development: Your personality is directly expressed based off of your prefrontal cortex. Without proper stimulation, you may struggle with identity issues and developing a favorable personality. Since personality development continues throughout the 20s, you may want to consider how environmental inputs may affect who you are.
Risk management: The ability to assess risky situations and determine whether they will result in long-term benefit is a byproduct of your prefrontal cortex. Those who are poor at assessing risk may have underdeveloped prefrontal regions. The ability to turn down immediate gratification for long-term rewards is a result of this region.
Short-term memory: Your short-term memory function is influenced by the prefrontal cortex. When still in development, your short-term memory isn’t as good as it will be by the time you’re 25. As the brain continues to mature, your cognitive function and memorization capacity will improve.

Thanks for the scientific analysis, Tex.

And I totally agree, teens are less in control of their emotions

Reyginus:
Me cuckold? Chai! Did anyone break your heart?

Reyginus:
There he goes again. Do you expect me to leave an unstable brother to wander alone? I'm simply doing my humanistic duties. But you know the guy I quoted doesn't know what he's talking about?

Is trolling with Ishilove part of your humanistic duty, Mr. Cuckold Reyginus?

Reyginus:
I see that you miss me.

Says the guy that follows me around.

Mzgracie:
Abeg, shush!!!


This is college of health sciences not other other department in permanent cite.. will you. allow yourself to be treated by a doctor that dresses like a mad man?? Will u allow yourself to be examined by a doctor that dresses like one of those agbero boys??

These are laid down rules. They gave us proper orientation in 200 level not 100 level oooo. Cause we resumed medical sch proper in 200 level...


If you don't knw what it takes to be in a medical school, you can please keep quiet.

Go to COHS, I bet you ll think you are a banking hall....

Gosh! How I miss my Alma mater... I miss those moments when we ll dress corporate, wear cover shoes and the likes..
What's the usefulness of studying medicine and surgery, nursing and other medical courses when you can't dress and represent well..

I only pity the op,.... this thread can lead him to trouble..

1) The op didnt specify medicine or surgery. Could be anatomy, nutrition etc.

2) As long as it is a classroom or faculty and not a hospital where they have uniforms, wearing slippers is okay.



I am afraid the kind of health practitioner you are. God save me from karashika doctor.

Empiree:
And what luxury accommodations would be complete without a mini bar? This is the party igloo!

Bro, are you endorsing alcohol? Am I seeing clearly?

HardMirror:
The nigerian situation is really pathetic.
People here are just buffons. Same with the United states too and many other countries.
When you say you were once a christian they automatically think you are just making that claim, they say you must have been a fake christian. I have over 300 people I converted m to christianity. Yet people still say I must have been a fake christian because I am now an atheist. It's so funny
My relatives all think I must have joined ogboni or a cult. Yet ogboni members believe in god.
They tag you as a satanist even tho you don't even believe in the existence of spirits.
Becoming an atheist has made me realize th monster I was as a christian. How could I have supported such a god as the one described by the bible. A god of hate and injustice. Wasted my early life worshiping a fictitious monster. Sometimes I marvel at how I used to believe all that crap. I am surprised I never found those things as silly and wicked when I was a christian. Glad I am done with christianity.

That is the religious madness we have in Nigeria.

It is better not to let people know that you're an atheist. Some people can't just handle it!!!

Reyginus:
Wow! Great Atheist. This is what happens when you don't understand a thing but still go ahead to comment on it. Criticism should come from understanding. But tell me, HardMirror, how is a Christian supposed to respond to an Evil Spirit or Atheist according to the bible and how is my expression wrong?

I see that you are still dense

geesampower:
Applause*
Deep, so deep. I clearly understand you now. So unfortunate. Reason why atheists fight back with engaging theists on their ignorance and sometimes it is mistaken as obsession from the atheist

Cheers bro

It's very hilarious though....

As a sequel, I will write him this splendid epitaph: Here lies the bones of JackBizzle the boy who lost both his balls and brains to a woman.

Internet Woman Wrapper;
Noun
1) A man who unnecesarily rushes to praise women who didn't ask for help on internet forums

2) A man who supports women online by bashing men- in hopes of getting laid.

example; Everybody look! Reyginus is attacking logicboy like a woman wrapper so as to impress the wench, ishilove


Internet White Knight;
Noun
1) A lonely man who unnecessarily rushes to defend women (usually from other men) in hopes of getting sex.

2) A weak man whose only chance of having sex is by supporting women online whether they are wrong or right.

example; Everybody look! Reyginus is jumping to defend ishilove's trolling against logicboy

What's the aim of the ad? To promote Yemi Alade or the tecno own the stage?

Go troll somewhere else.

joefredd006:
lol. the school didn't advertise their services like landmark, bowen, leadcity and the rest. you decided to apply. they have their simple and reasonable rules, but no; you'll rather have it your way. Dress decently, you won't. wear your school identity cards while on school premises, mbanu, who dey talk. So the authorities decided to use mild embarrassing techniques to curb your exuberances. for indecent dressing, they seize your tag or ask you to come get your shoes at the disciplinary office. saves you from being suspended each time you dress like a motor park tout or a ho on duty. I finished from there and have been 'around' the school for 7 years, still haven't seen or heard of a physical confrontation between a lecturer and a student. So behave yourself, and you won't have a reason to look over your shoulders

People like you will rather see a tree than see the whole forest.


Should this be happening in a university? YES or NO?

No one is interested in your "good boy" record in the university

KingEbukasBlog:
Where are you in the video JackBizzle ?

Bro Ive been in the news/media for close to 4 yrs now . I can provide spurious reactions from people purporting to support a particular notion.

This is 2016 na . O gini ?

Jack nwanne #JackBizzleProvideThatVideo .

Sharap there

Reyginus:
I wouldn't be arguing it if they did. Your scientific faith(as you like to put it) is merely a degree of faith. Even Einstein with all the facts at his disposal rejected the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and stuck to his own idea.

Bros, wetin be heisenberg uncertainty principle? Abeg I no be scientist!

KingEbukasBlog:
Is he an atheist ?

Humanist.

KingEbukasBlog:
Bro JackBizzle , you know what to do #JackBizzleProvideThatVideo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pd9LUonN6o

#Jackbizzledthevideo

KingEbukasBlog:
I wonder why JackBizzle made that blatant claim . You see why he hasn't provided a video yet . #JackBizzleProvideThatVideo

This was a nice response

Were you not the one chastising one blogger guy like this for cheerleading atheists and being a fake christian?

Stop cheerleading bro!

KingEbukasBlog:
Personal stories ? Since when did you hypocritical lots start paying attention to or telling personal stories ? There are many personal convincing stories told by we Christians on our experiences about God which have been pushed aside by you guys . Deal with the taste of your own medicine and stop throwing tantrums like a petulant baby .

Rationality permits me to deny your personal experiences which I did not see or witness unless you can provide a video of you being discriminated against - like Dalaman and Johnydon22 sometimes request - then maybe I can start from there and ascertain the authenticity of the video . Who knows if it is spurious . There are lots of things you can do with a good software and a video camera these days you know

Cheers mate

I like how you ignored when I stated that there are studies and figures concerning religious discrimination in the UK and US towards atheists. Now, you are here focusing on Nigeria that doesnt have a humanist or atheist organisation that is registered and claiming that I should bring concrete proof.

If I call you a dishonest tool, they would say that I'm insulting you. But havent you behaved like one?


If there is heavy discrimination in a religious country like America towards atheists, how much more would it be in Nigeria which is not only more religious but also more illiterate?

Reyginus:
Faith is not really a religious thing but simply the believe in a system. What do you call it, when scientists do experiments that have not been done before based on some already established physical quantity?

Faith is of two kinds

1) The religious one that is unshakable even when the facts are opposing it

2) The normal one that is merely hoping for a particular outcome. Also known as "hope", "leap of faith"


Scientists do not use a religious faith to hope for experiments to end in one particular outcome. The just take a leap of faith and then try again if it fails.

Reyginus:
Religion? For me it's not Religion but Faith in anything. The Nazis only Religion was Germany and if you don't agree 'Rauz'. I can have so much faith in science that it blurs my vision of other things.

Don't equate science to religion. You cant have faith in science.

Reyginus:
Proof? Seems you are yet to meet stubborn religionist. Any attempt to ask for proof is categorized as the manifestation if Jinns if you are moslem.

So, you see- religion at times can be a barrier to education and commonsense!

italo:
Where is the proof that Leo Igwe was discriminated against by the CAC?

Anyway, you have no concrete evidence that Atheists are discriminated against more than religious groups...even though that's not the main point of the debate.

Leo Igwe stated it in a humanist meeting in Nigeria but I doubt it is on video. You can as well try to register an atheist company.

As for you claiming that I have no concrete evidence that atheist are discriminated against more than other religious groups. I can only laugh.

I want to ask you, where is our argument based? Only in Nigeria or also the rest of the world?

I'm asking this because, there are numerous studies and figures that depict the discrimination atheists face in the US/UK. Nigeria has no atheist organisation and so, we are left with personal stories. And there are lots of personal stories right here on nairaland where atheists have bitterly complained about religious intolerance in Nigeria. You just want to be like kingebukasblog and deny deny deny!

Reyginus:
He should have reported the issue to the ministry of labour and productivity. What happened was simply a hate-filled staff acting outside the orders of the system.

Thanks. I didnt know about such ministry

italo:
Do you have proof of this? No. So it's probably false. And even if it were true, are you implying that Muslims don't do same to Christians...and vice versa? and that Atheist don't discriminate against Christians?

Even here on Seun's nairaland, Christians are heavily discriminated against.

The CAC discrimination was done to Leo Igwe (A popular Nigerian humanist) as well. So there you have it.


As for you claiming that I'm implying that Muslims don't discriminate against christians and vice versa, I would just tell you that you are throwing strawmen about. Learn how to argue.


Here is my earlier post on this issue, on this very thread

JackBizzle:
Also, atheists tend to get worse discrimination than most religious groups. Of course, every religion can face some discrimination but that is not equally spread and neither is it the point of the thread.

italo:
The post clearly shows where I answered his question earlier.

You're just making false allegations as a distraction from your present discourse.

You never answered the question. You lied in the post so as to dodge.

Also, throughout that page in the thread, you dodged and danced around questions. Both I and Wiegraff called you out on it

Reyginus:
Lolol. This boy! Let's use an example.

A man all his life has never gone overseas. He doesn't know there exists a another race, the Caucasians, also in the world. The astrologers and astronomers around told him they are hundred percent they are the only existent race. He honestly doesn't think so.

He has a son, a prodigal, who left the land and wandered for two decades around our globe and finally returns home. Then he begins to tell a story of another people with different skin colour and traditions. He repeats the story to anyone he meets.

The family, facing a new doctrine that violates their idea of the 'real' world take the action of isolating the boy. In all honesty, the astrologers a and astronomers can't be wrong and their son has caught a crazy flu. They honestly believe this to be true.

If you are that boy with who will your prayer lie, Jack, yourself or your family? Who will you show pity? Be honest.

A good person would ask for proof.

In this day and age, we have the internet.

The first time I met an atheist as a christian, I was irritated but I didnt want to put him in an asylum or beat the devil out of him.
