Window's "blue screen of death."
This is usually caused by a faulty driver. Usually occurs after upgrading the OS, especially after upgrading a Windows 7 PC to Windows 10, and then some drivers start to misbehave due to compatibility issues. The major culprits of this type of issue are usually Nvidia drivers.

The issue can be corrected by updating the drivers or by downgrading to the previous OS version from which an upgrade had been performed.

A scenario played out in church involving a Christian woman married to a non Christian man when the woman came to dedicate her new born baby.
The husband was not present in church obviously because he is a non Christian and when the Pastor asked the woman what was the name of the baby ,she mentioned the name and the Pastor told her that it has to be a Christain name and that he was renaming the baby.
I don't think if the woman gets home she will narrate what happened in Church to her husband so as not to cause any chaos in the house.
Intereligious marriages should come out with well spelt out agreements prior to marriages in order to curtail disputes in future.
Just my humble take.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a warning, indicating that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are poised to become the leading cause of mortality in Africa by 2030 unless swift actions are taken by member states.

This cautionary note was delivered by Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa, during the inaugural International Conference on PEN-Plus in Africa (ICPPA 2024), held virtually in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on Tuesday.

Co-hosted by the WHO Regional Office for Africa, the Helmsley Charitable Trust, and the United Republic of Tanzania, the conference highlights the urgent need for coordinated efforts to combat NCDs on the continent.

THE WHO WARNING
Dr. Moeti emphasized the necessity for member states to adopt strategies aimed at mitigating the NCD crisis.

She highlighted that NCDs are exacting a heavy toll on Africa, with 26% of total health spending in low and middle-income countries attributed to these diseases.

Alarmingly, NCDs are projected to surpass communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases combined as the primary cause of mortality in Africa by 2030.

The surge in NCD prevalence across Africa over the past two decades is fuelled by an uptick in risk factors such as unhealthy diets, sedentary lifestyles, obesity, and air pollution.
Moeti stressed that despite the escalating burden of NCDs, insufficient investment in detection and management persists in the region.

Of particular concern are severe NCDs such as type 1 diabetes, rheumatic heart disease, and sickle cell disease, which disproportionately affect children and young adults across Africa. Dr. Moeti urged for heightened commitment and sustained resources to confront these silent epidemics effectively.

Ms. Elke Wisch, UNICEF Representative to the Republic of Tanzania, emphasized the imperative of collaboration in addressing NCDs comprehensively and collaboratively.

Echoing these sentiments, Ummy Mwalimu, Minister of Health, Tanzania, highlighted the urgent need for collective action to confront the growing threat of NCDs. She emphasized the far-reaching impact of these diseases on individuals, communities, and national economies, calling for a concerted effort to promote lifestyle changes as a proactive measure against NCDs.

Why do you like to make life hard for your fellow women, belittling the effort and pains of giving birth.

Do you know that because of women like you who make it seem like giving birth is not a big deal, many wicked people will judge all women to be like that? Because of women like you, many don't even consider letting those that gave birth in many pains and complications to be going through anything. Because of you so called superwoman, they expect every woman to be like that, to just enter the kitchen and start housework too.

See, if you like stress, if you like carrying everything on your head with no help so that Nigerian men can call you a strong woman, do it. But please, for the sake of your fellow Nigerian women, don't underrate the pains and efforts of pregnancy and childbirth. Have mercy on those who cannot do it like you and have weakness or pains. Many women keep lying and stressing so as to be called strong woman. They don't consider the effect on other women. They are in competition with other women rather, they want to be considered as more of a wife material than other women, showing themselves up and down. Why can't we protect ourselves rather than look for the praise of men at other women's expense?

Thank God you are so strong, but please don't belittle the effort of childbirth please. Don't belittle all the effects to make them rate it as nothing. Men don't suffer any of these things and they want to undervalue our pains to make themselves a more valuable gender. Also to avoid doing anything special for us. Many of the men you are trying to impress hate us, they don't want to do anything for us.

Are they proud to call themselves Nigerians? Nope! Apart from Tems, the rest identify themselves as British/Americans so why should we associate with them as Nigerians?

Show me a peer reviewed disapproval of this ?
I'm waiting. Thanks.

Matrix137:
Think about the "future"

What will happen in the next 100 years?

Even if you can accurately guess, will you be alive to see it's manifestation?

A carnal mind will say "live fast die young", You "only live once (YOLO) "

But seriously, is that what life is all about?

Were we born into this world just to die?

Look above to the sky in a starry night, millions of stars stare back at you, look at the moon, sun, Animals. Etc. And nature in particular even tho it isn't perfect still causes some awe inspiring reaction to the limited human mind!

Now let's reach outer space 🚀

The Galaxies, solar systems, planetary alignment. Etc

The best of the best rocket scientists and astronauts with the most sophisticated spaceships and equipments hasn't been able to unravel it all.

Now according to the "educated" human mind, all this came from a first explosion known as the big bang

Charles Darwin came again with the theory of evolution explaining the"origin of species". Note that till today (February 4 2024) it's still a theory and not a law

You may ask, what is my point?

My point is, the more we try to explain away God in nature, the more we become confounded and perplexed by the very same nature as new things are discovered everyday without end

The West has drifted far away from God and now confounded.

An atheist may ignorantly ask, upon all our adherence to religion, look at our country, poverty everywhere, poor infrastructure etc

But does living in an advanced society guarantee true happiness?

LGBTQ

Abortion

Moral decadence of all sorts

Who are those championing it? And wants to force Africans to accept same? The West!

Highest suicide rate with all there sophistication and civility? The West!

They have an evil agenda that only the spiritually sound can clearly see

Life is not all about that as there is more to life!!

Jesus Christ is all that matters as in him we find true peace and a reason for still living no matter how dark the world becomes.

We are comforted with the fact that a kingdom is coming not made with human hands that is putting an end to all the evil influences of this world and an end to corruptibility with a true Leader (Jesus Christ)

We will now experience the true purpose of creation in a perfect form free from evil and the nuances of the enemy (Satan) as he will become nonexistent to cause any damage
as the systems of this world will now become a system of our God and of his Christ.

There is no other way

Accept him today and walk with his ever present help in the person of the Holy Spirit and walk away from this evil world and welcome to the new perfect world 🌎

Hallelujah!!!!
