ojobolinda:

This is over pregnant. Should be be preparing for Antenatal. The faint line is because the HCG level is not yet high. If she does the test in the next few days, the second line will be red fully.
Romance / Re: She Is A Lovable Person But Her Past Keeps Popping Up In My Head by Jetland(m): 4:53pm On Sep 07, 2023
ebijimi7:
Good morning landers, its a beautiful thursday morning here in lagos,
Ok so straight down to the business without much hassle.

It goes like this, ok I have this girl I'm dating she has been a lovable soul a friend,partner,lover and mother.

She is caring also I have never met a girl like that in my life since I became an adult the only person that I know has those quality she possessed was my mum which is late now.

she is from kwale I think a town In delta state and I am from ondo so we have been together for couple of years now.

We had a heart to heart conversation she told me about her past and I also told her about mine.

Though I've dated some substantial amount of ladies sha, I don't want to mention before una call me (Ashewo or brostitute grin,

So in the long run while explaining she told me what transpired between she and some of her exes the ones that kept deceiving her and collecting money from her she mentioned about 10 of them which she actually supported to to travel out of the country but they neglected and dumped her after they got over sea, more of like she fell into the hand of bad guys.

What kept ringing in my head and making me scared was the fact she made out with some of them and I still get angry knowing that fact sometimes she would be crying that I'm using her past against her just because she was inlove and it didn't work out within she and any of her ex .

I love her but her past kept dragging me back and making me scared of taking the next step.

Not to mention all of what she has done for me but when I lost my mum she stood by me all through the difficult times she prays for me she was with me at the hospital for days until my mum passed out.

Looking at these are qualities I get confused the more because I dint know if I'm making the right decision by letting her go she rarely ask for anything

Please your candid advice I'd needed

My candid advice, hold her with all your might. Learn to give her past, and don't use it against her again. Her type is uncommon. If you allow her slip from your hand, you may regret it.

The beauty thing here is the fact that she was open to you and told you the truth.

Politics / Farooq Kperogi: Clarity On Tinubu’s Age And Postsecondary Education by Jetland(m): 6:38am On Jan 29, 2022
In today's Saturday Tribune/Peoples Gazette column, I show that while Tinubu embodies a lot of unflattering attributes and still has many ethical question marks around him, it's at least now certain that his age and higher education qualifications are not in dispute. There's honor in admitting our error when we encounter superior facts. Enjoy:

Clarity on Tinubu’s Age and Postsecondary Education
By Farooq A. Kperogi
Twitter: @farooqkperogi

I resent Bola Tinubu’s politics and don’t want him to be president if I can help it. In a January 12 Facebook update, I wrote, “I'd hate for him to be president because he is too sick, too old, too steeped in fraud (even his name, age, education, and origins are frauds), and too much like Buhari whose ‘legacy’ of poverty and ineptitude he said he'll ‘continue with’ to be an option.”

But I must admit that he is the victim of sustained, at times innocent and at other times intentional, mis- and disinformation regarding his age and postsecondary education. When I encounter superior facts that challenge or confute what I know, I yield and admit my error without hesitation.

For example, in 2015, I lent my voice to the whispering campaign that Goodluck Jonathan didn’t earn the PhD he said he had. Loads of circumstantial evidence, not least Jonathan’s own resistance to providing evidence for the completion of his degree, conferred some credibility to the suspicion that he didn’t complete his degree.

However, in late 2015, I went out of my way to inquire from people who should know at the University of Port Harcourt and found information, which both Goodluck Jonathan and the administrators at Uniport were reluctant to share, that answered the questions people asked about Jonathan’s doctoral education. On September 19, 2015, I wrote a column titled “New Evidence that Goodluck Jonathan’s PhD May be Genuine” and became the first person to publish the title of his doctoral dissertation and the name of his doctoral supervisor.

Similarly, when I discovered that Muhammadu Buhari did indeed take his West African School Certificate in 1961 and got five credits and one pass, contrary to popular notions that he didn’t, I revised my opinion. (See, for example, my August 14, 2021, column titled “Top 5 Lies about Buhari That Won’t Go Away,” where I also showed that Buhari’s age declaration has been consistent since he was at least 18 in 1961).

Well, the Punch of January 7 reported that Chicago State University wrote to it to confirm that Tinubu did indeed graduate from the school after two years of study there. The Richard J. Daley College, a community college in Chicago, also confirmed that he did receive an associate degree (equivalent to an ordinary national diploma in Nigeria) from there. In other words, he spent two years at Richard Daley College for an associate degree and another two years at Chicago State University for a bachelor's degree.

He got in trouble in 1999 because he wrote on his INEC forms that he’d graduated from the University of Chicago, a prestigious private university, when he actually graduated from Chicago State University, a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). He later blamed the “error” on Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi.

So, the widespread claim that the genuineness of Tinubu’s university education is shrouded in mystery has no basis in fact.

What has some basis in fact, though, is that there is no public record for where he attended secondary school. In his 1999 INEC form that he admitted was error-ridden, he said he attended Government College, Ibadan, which turned out to be false.

In a January 22 article, Tinubu’s former press secretary by the name of Segun Ayobolu said in the aftermath of the controversy that attended the exposé of the inaccuracies in his educational credentials in his INEC form, Tinubu admitted to not having attended a secondary school after his primary school education “because of his poverty.”

Again, in spite of prevalent allegations to the contrary, Tinubu’s age has also been fairly consistent in public records. Records from the 1970s from Richard Daley College and Chicago State University, which I saw again a few days ago, show that he consistently gave his year of birth as 1952.

It was only his Chicago State University transcript that gave his year of birth as 1954, but this was attributed to a clerical error. In any case, 1954 is two years younger than 1952. Had the year been significantly older than 1952, there would have been a valid basis to speculate that it was his real birth year that he accidentally let out.

So, at no point did he ever officially claim to be born earlier than 1952. It’s entirely plausible that he was actually born earlier than 1952, but no one has shown any official documentation to authenticate that.

People whose birth wasn’t officially recorded, as I suspect was the case with Tinubu, have a lot of wiggle room to claim any age.

Recall the spat between Wole Soyinka and Olusegun Obasanjo sometime ago when Soyinka asked why Obasanjo was older than him when, in fact, Soyinka used to call Obasanjo by the honorific “egbon” (indicating Obasanjo was older than he was) when they were growing up in Abeokuta. Obasanjo responded by saying because his birth was not recorded when it happened (since his parents weren’t educated like Soyinka’s parents were), he made up a date of birth.

Tinubu can make the same argument, and it will be valid.

The viral video someone recorded about the multiple edits of his—and his first daughter’s— Wikipedia page to tweak his age is neither here nor there. Anyone can edit a Wikipedia page, and the Wikipedia pages of politically exposed people like Tinubu are often subject to vandalism, which Wikipedia defines as editing a page “in an intentionally disruptive or malicious manner. Vandalism includes any addition, removal, or modification that is intentionally humorous, nonsensical, a hoax, or degrading in any way.”

If someone maliciously changes someone’s date of birth on Wikipedia and an editor restores the original date (these are called “edit wars” in Wikipedia lingo), it is unfair to blame the owner of the page for this.

I, too, had no idea I had a Wikipedia page until a younger friend of mine by the name of Usman Zakari Ibrahim called my attention to it in 2017. In it, my year of birth was originally written as 1970. That is the year of my older brother’s birth, which is three years before my birth. Whoever or whatever program created the page later changed my birth year to 1973 after I complained. Does that suggest any foul play on my part?

Unlike Tinubu, my birth was recorded in a hospital. I have a real-time hospital birth certificate complete with the exact time I was born, the nurse and midwife who delivered me, my weight, and the ointment that was applied to my eyes after my birth. There is no dispute about when I was born, yet Wikipedia didn’t get my year of birth right the first time.

Nonetheless, what remain obscured by clouds of controversy are the place of Tinubu’s birth (he claims it’s Lagos, but many Lagos natives say he doesn’t even speak Yoruba with a Lagos accent), by what name he was initially known before he adopted his current name since it’s on record that the Tinubu family in Lagos disowned him, who his biological parents were, and why he assumed his currently identify.

Sahara Reporters also reported on Friday that he has flown abroad again to tend to his failing health—a few months after returning from London for the same reason. If this is true, he also needs to come clean about the true state of his health if he wants to be taken seriously as a contender for the presidency in 2023, particularly given Nigeria’s experience with Umar Musa Yar’adua (who died in office) and Muhammadu Buhari (who has become the world’s most infamous presidential medical tourist to London).

His supporters and minders say these concerns are irrelevant gotcha distractions intended merely to strip him of credibility. But their defensiveness won’t stop the concerns. In fact, it gives them wings and inspires more unflattering speculations about him.

Webmasters / Will Google Penalize Me If I Share My Blog Post On A Forum? by Jetland(m): 12:17pm On Jan 25, 2022
Hello great webmasters,

If you observe very well, you'd see where many bloggers/webmasters posted one of their blog posts on nairaland and linked back to it.

As we all know know that Google doesn't like duplicate contents, do you think Google will not penalize such blogs?

For instance, I've come across many tips here on nairaland, in which the posters linked back to their websites/blogs, and when you visit their blogs, you'd discover that that full article you previously read on nairaland is also on the blog.

I'm just wondering if Google doesn't have problems with that


I'd love to see your impute

Thanks

Health / Straight-scratch Lines In My Body by Jetland(m): 8:44pm On Nov 27, 2021
Sometimes I do see some lines on my body. Before now, I'd always thought it could be that I mistakenly used my finger nails to scratch my body even though I don't keep nails.

At some point I was also thinking it could my sponge. But from my finding, it's neither my sponge nor my nails. Note that it's not itching me neither is it painful.

I'm sure it's not caused by any insect because my room is clean. I even thought it only happened overnight not untill when I was sweaty in the afternoon and I starting feeling some mild pains due to the fact I was sweaty. That is, the lines formed within the time I felt it. The funniest thing is that when it forms, it takes some days before the scars disappear.

Please, has anyone ever experienced something like this before?

I'm planning of going to see a pathologist next week but before then, I'd love to know if anyone has experienced this before.

Thanks

Business / Help: Cac Is Yet To Assign Me My Business Name After Online Payment by Jetland(m): 2:08pm On Aug 14, 2021
I reserved my business name yesterday and it was approved within a few minutes. After severy contemplations on whether I should go ahead and register the business name immediately or I should wait and do it some other time, I finally decided to register it that same yesterday.

For the name reservation, I paid N661.25 via remita online and both remita and CAC sent me confirmation emails. After filling in all my details for my business name registration, I went ahead and made the payment of N10,161.25 via the same remita, which is the only method they have on their website. After the payment, remita sent me an invoice for my payment via email, but this time around, I didn't receive any email from CAC that payment has been made and that the business has been registered. I learned on their website that there is no need to go to their office anymore to have your certificate as it's made available after payment for the registration.

As it can be seen below, I think it should be showing that my business name has been registered, instead of its status to be on "Reserved."
Has anyone experienced this?

Mrskillz1:

I have asked questions.
My mom became mad as she got pregnant with my younger brother.
By then, my Dad said he took her to several places and was told that it was ogbanje. My mom is very beautiful and hardworking.
Her family joined in the solution.
She became okay after she put to bed.
Then they decided not to have more kids.
My mom's shop is in main market onitsha, after a few years, the madness returned and her shop was closed down. By then, we had grown a little and so everyone concentrated on us, giving us a life.
I remember that my mom leaves house every morning and will trek to main market and hang around there and return by evening.
This she did daily.
She was not violent. She was usually by herself.
Her brothers usually came to see her.
My Dad took care of her grooming.
Until few years back when she suddenly stopped going to market and stayed indoors for like a week.
Then one night, my Dad said she called him as they were sleeping and said to him that we will be fine.
Then they slept off and she didn't wake up in the morning.

The last paragraph touched me that I didn't know when I shed tears. Don't worry, God will visit your brother and your entire family for deliverance. Amen

Sin is sin. Some may carry grave penalties though, while others may carry little penalties. Eg someone that steals and is caught can go to PRISON and if he is ARMED he may even be EXECUTED based on NIGERIAN LAW.

Fornication may not carry such penalties but it's still a sin.

Sinning against the HOLY SPIRIT is an UNFORGIVABLE SIN according to the BIBLE.
