But why do they pure cold water on the head of those that collapsed and not on the feet?

I think is to jerk them back to life. When you pour cold water on any part of the body, blood rushes there. So for people who have High BP or problem with arteries that connect the upper body, that rush can overwhelm the arteries and then the brain shuts down and kawai..... But since the feet is not a life threatening organ, even if blood rushes there and is overwhelmed or whatever nothing fatal can happen. So just start from feet slowly as you move up. We lost a friend in canada when he stepped into a cold shower, it was the first time we heard a doctor describe the phenomenon

This is what Sunday igboho is trying to avert but some fóol's said he's calling for war

God bless you

markidoo:
Chai, why is it always while taking bath? I know of more than 4 people that have collapsed and died while taking bath. Evil people with their Manipulation, they know you can never avoid a bath...

Don't ever pour cold water on your head first while bathing, start bathing slowly from the feet upwards. I'm surprised this is not well known - a country full of people that don't share knowledge even critical ones.

In addition to that, these are his other achievements.

Great guy he is

You said all the truth

The political class and the masses alike are the reason things are going South in the region. A Southern President would have curbed the excesses of these killer Fulani marauders and their Fulani allies in the military. That's why I like Obasanjo, during his reign, he crushed the heads of perceived dangerous groups irrespective of the region they emanated from, and he did so before they could become a menace to the society.

After the revelation by the kidnapped and released Methodist Prelate, it beats me how any sane Southerner would ever want to promote another Fulani man to replace Buhari. For someone who couldn't boldly criticise the senseless and brutal killing of Deborah, how would he be able to to tackle his brothers who says "their intention is to buy weapons with the proceeds from their kidnapping business, to claim their lands in Southern Nigeria".

If a Southerner is refused the APC ticket, I will implore we all rally round Peter Obi in the South, let PDP and APC cancel themselves out in the North. I am sure most of North Central would tilt towards a Southern President too.

I must be sincere, I personally don't trust Peter Obi, but I would vote him if he's the last Southerner standing, we must break the devilish advancement of these Fulanis, they have a plan, and they are not hiding it anymore. They have taken over our forests, and taken over the okada business in the South. Imagine they announce through their transistor radios that they should attack us in the middle of the night, with the military apparatus in their hands, we are doomed!

Southern Nigeria, let's grow beyond our differences, let's defend our lands, we can then fight ourselves later. We have a common enemy here, who is ready to turn us to 2nd class citizens on our land.

Everything you said is true but you southerners are fooools and the fulani has almost finished setting the trap for you people. The big men southerners don't ever talk because they need more contracts or political appointment. You people will reap the reward of foolishness in the coming months and years. Rwanda genocide will be a child's play

Throwback:
You are obviously speaking out of ignorance.

I remember seeing roads like this during Tinubu's tenure.

He started the cobble stone roads allover Victoria Island in a road resurfacing drive, to help cater to the beach soil condition in that area. I remember Akin Adesola Str, Adeola Odeku Str, Ajose Adeogun Str as some of those touched. I remember how marveled I was at the quality of the job done while internship hunting in 2007.

On the mainland, he also revamped Oba Akran Road in Ikeja which was my daily route to school in the early 2000's, Oregun Road (Kudirat Abiola), Ijeshatedo Road in Surulere where I sat for my JAMB UME in the early 2000's also, are some of the many roads that featured in his achievements leading to re-election in 2003.

Funny you should mention Power as a priority.

Guess who tried to overdo himself to ensure there was private power generation in Lagos when others still waited on the federal government?

It was Tinubu who had that foresight and engaged Enron to come into Nigeria to develop Power generation for Lagos State, but the Obasanjo/PDP led federal government would not allow an opposition party Governor ridicule the federal government by succeeding where they had every intention to fail. So they frustrated the initiative.

Tinubu had many firsts that went beyond roads and power, but also simple governance initiatives like returning all missionary schools siezed by the 1979 to 1983 class of democratic state governments and better manage the true public schools, to initiatives and ideas about State vs Federal Government power separation.

Lagos State under Tinubu became the template to be copied by other states who needed to setup State agencies to better deliver and manage public service to the citizenry.

All the mentioned and more are the reasons why I wholly believe that Nigeria should give the city boy a chance to lead Nigeria.

Tinubu was an achiever, to even identify Fashola as a successor to me was his greatest achievement because it showed where he wanted Lagos to get to. Tinubu is farrrrrrr better than Atiku

Very very true, the only southerner that can stand up to the tyranny of the north

learner007:
No be Obama be that for that photo? Mumu pikin! As if she could ever get close to Buhari's car back home.
All the nonsense written up there is typical of a black teenager in Mid Western parts of America. I lived in different parts of Illinois, including Chicago, for 3 years, so I sabi their ways. She has only stayed for 5 years and has allowed those entitled and bitter akata kids destroy her mentality. Shame!
She claimed the American dream hardly exists for minority. Yet she is clawing her way to University of Chicago medical school. If only you sabi the reputation of University of Chicago worldwide, then you would understand that America has helped her dream big and kept her dream intact. It would be easier for a camel to slide through the eye of a needle than to get a chance into Uchicago medical prog from Ibadan. I bet you, this girl is already a nightmare to her Nigerian parents. She would have rubbished all of their efforts to get her a better life. Na so these spoilt naija teenagers dey do. Once they get into this place and discover their parents can't touch them, they develop wings and become defiant to all authorities. They see nothing good again, and complain at the slightest thing. Even in Universities, they will drop their medical and tech majors, and start pursuing courses with racial titles. They blame the system for their inadequacies and colorize every single thing. Her type no dey get sense until them don turn 30+ as single mothers. Them full Chicago. Yoruba say, "pikin wey dey blame him parents say them no get money. Hin sef don begin hin life journey, make we dey watch." Make una ignore the idiot. American Universities don fund my Masters and my PhD programs. I dey take care of my parents back home. I'm grateful to God. Every resource spent on Japa moves is well worth it. Na who give up, eff up!

You really understand the average African American psyche, they are natural failures with very dumb perspectives. Was very happy you mentioned the STEM issue how these mofos avoid STEM thinking they are hurting white people. All their intellectualism revolves around only race and nothing else. Go to nasa you wont see them, go to spacex you wont see them. If you see black there they from Africa. The small girl has had her head turned by those failures

doggedfighter:
You will be surprised that even the foolish family members that came out to tell the public her death is because she's not married don't know anything about her life . Her life may actually be better than most of them that are married.

Here , everyone must be forced to be married so as to present a picture of a fulfilled life.

Unfortunately true even for those that we think attended university, same herd mentality

doggedfighter:
I don't believe the reason for her suicide.



There maybe more to it.







It's usually easy to think that not having a

husband and children is the reason for anything that happens to an unmarried lady.

That's how dumb our majority are, very very dumb race this our race. I was happier when i had no kids or wife. Sorry for this continent

Joezinho:
Wike tried. Dedicated, Strong man with the balls of a tiger... He never decamped. Stood with the party when the likes of Atiku and others fled like cursed witches. Whatever gives him morale to be this vocal, it's obvious his dealer is cashing out on a steady..

The northerners knew he might keep them in check. Reason they really don't want him there.. The man is fearless, courageous, pragmatic, articulate and dishes it out to anyone wotowotoly ...

If only half of these southern politicians have the kind of mindsets wike has, the Northerners won't ever think Nigeria belongs to them alone.

Your head dey there, we southerners are the dumbest homosapiens ever walked this earth. The fulani will continue their crusade and we continue to bow like the moroooons that we are

What a shame, a real shame. Even if you need money to feed you will look for someone with little success and not a complete and senseless failure like yeye bello.

Felabrity:
Truth is, I prefer Jonathan over Tinubu
Infact, any candidate over Tinubu

He is too old, I don't want another Buhari as president
He source of income is fishy
He owns Lagos, the the ficking Lagos money
He boast alot
Man claimed he is richer than Osun state

Tinubu changed Lagos, without him Lagos will be like an advanced Abia state

DaveDGreat:
But e nor dey show for Equitorial Guinea body at all.

Theodore Nguema Mbasogo don rule that country like him papa backyard. Him come make him son 2nd Vice President.

Equitorial Guinea, Togo, Cameroon and Gabon dey see better nwiii.

Yes there's widespread corruption. And because of their small population of just 2million the oaf has no strong opposition. Botswana, Seychelles, Mauritius are the small countries with a lot to show

The actual richest country in Africa, highest GDP per capita

Elporo:
The black Americans who are predominantly descendants of slaves should be forgiven for their disinterest in Software Engineering, Law and International trade. They still make most of their wealth via sports and entertainment (forgive me sports is entertainment).

Slaves are usually taken from weaker, less productive groups. Criminals, philandering wives, traitors, breakaway nations, less desirable citizens of conquered tribes and nations. It is a genetic problem, they can only solve it, through inter-racial relations (marriage).

Obama only won because he is not the son of a slave, but of Kenyan noble descent.

It is also important, that people like us .. who are aware of our ancestry unequivocally reject the generalization "Africa or Africans". Never tell a white man you are from Africa. Tell him you are from Lagos state , if possible tell him the village you hail from. For only slaves are refer to themselves as Africans.

Thanks for your input. On African American issues, yes entertainment pays but it's not enough to liberate a whole race. Entertainment is not a real sector asset and can never be the core of any economy. Show me a country that made it from rags to riches on just entertainment? But we can see how countries made it by technology. Is it coincidence the richest people today are technologists? This is where African Americans are getting it wrong. On Obama, what is clear is that the white race rewards excellence. Don't forget that Obama's father's tribe are only 15000 in number and is settled they can never dream of even coming close to be president in their own country. Since Obama i have really come to understand America more. Just like right now we already know our next president will be ibo, hausa or yoruba, even God cannot change it.

Africans were friendly to outside visitors, this was what made them come back to conquer later on.

Have a nice night.

Only africans are friendly? All Africans were friendly? And all other races that didn't suffer trans-racial slavery was because they were unfriendly? What more book or narrative do you want to teach me young man? Igbiras are very unfriendly, Tivs are naturally not friendly, Edo do not have time for friendships, or is it the fulanis that are friendly? You see i have always feared for our race because one single fundamental flaw i see in MOST of us even the educated, and that is SENTIMENTALISM. You see a white guy that has read as much as you did will by now have evolved an open mind devoid of self-seeking propensities and this is why they always find the truth and of course the success that follows. Imagine you or whoever wrote the book you refer to, deluding yourself into believing that African tribes were friendly and thus that led to their captivity by outsiders. How about the early set of missionaries that were eaten as meat? Were those friendly gestures? How can someone that took time to read the little you have read still harbor sentiments? You see there's a popular saying that Africa's biggest problem are her intellectuals. How can you say we were friendly? Are zulus friendly? Do ijaws look friendly to you? Yes there are friendly members of these tribes but we talking at the majority level now. Even black Americans are the most sentimental people on earth and you can see how they perfected the art of excusing generations and generations of failure. I expected more from you

somehow:
If you read comprehensively, you'd understand that I wasn't talking about same race fights because I know all races did.

I was talking about the ones that stopped fighting themselves and decided to go conquer another race in continents outside theirs for power, and resource control sake, hence the mention of the birth of the tags (Whites, Blacks/Negro).

Now, if you can for a bit stay within the context of the message I'm trying to pass, you shouldn't find it difficult understanding what birthed these tags.

Once again, in context, research while most Africans see people that once conquered them outside the continent as 'whites' (indirect word for colonial masters).

If conquering other races for material gains was easy Africa would be the first to do it. I'm sure you won't argue that given the uncountable examples right on our noses. You see you got to give those races credit for their advancement and you have to acknowledge our own stewpidity as a race

somehow:
I was in context, my comment was expanding the discussion in view, take a chill and read slowly this time around.

Did westerners not take slaves of themselves too? Asians, Europeans and all took slaves within themselves too.

That people of same race took slaves within themselves is not enough to lose the message being passed.

So if you now accept that whites took fellow whites as slaves too just like us then why do you separate whites and arabs as the only slave masters when you said you consider all of them white since they both took slaves? Why didnt you add your race blacks?

somehow:
Pardon?
You must be referring to someone else.


And yes, some people see Saudis as 'whites' since they also took some Africans as slaves and are also slave masters.

What I wrote is more of a public /general education.

OK then you need to get proper context before joining a running discussion. There's a youth calling arabs whites who is the one i was responding to. And for your own education too - blacks also took slaves, my maternal great grandfather was a known and in fact rich one, so don't forget that

somehow:
Colonizers named dark skin Africans they captured as slaves "Black's" or "Negro".

To make something look bad to the eyes, give it a bad name....Blacks = Worthless, dirty, good for nothing humans

To make something look good to the eyes, give it a good name.... Whites = Savior, Pure, Innocent humans.

Read more about the original of these tags.

So why did you refer to saudi arabs as white since you know all these vocabulary? Or are you having subjective worldview too?

somehow:
Colonizers came up with that tag and the colonised got stuck with the narrative.

A typical European wouldn't call his or herself 'white'.

Mental slaves can't see beyond this 'Master-Servant' classification, so they call all non-Africans that aren't dark skinned whites due to their mental complexities.

Who are the race called black?

shantti:
What are they?? Off white??

Go and read about races I'm not your father. If you can open a NL account and still dont know that Caucasian are the only race called whites then pls move to next bus stop

IsellSmartTvs:
Whites look at blacks as OPPORTUNIST

Is Saudi Arabia white? All these teenagers on nairaland

Boss469:
Ussr and Russia no be d same baba Russia military is overrated.

Even china military don't have experience in combats especially invading another country... So chill. U.s.a no be Russia wey any weapon Dem get Dem go brag abt am becos difference dey between u.s.a citizens and russians.

Fear who introduce nukes come dis world.

Don't forget there are millions of 19 year olds with what they think is their 'experienced' ideas on global issues. So save your strength mostly after dropping the facts. Thanks for your very last sentence

Simeonjoe1:
As in people should just reason.
It's just like a poor man saying he have better properties compare to a rich man. From GDP alone US no be Russian mate. In times of technological industries like better multi dimension cooperation like lockheed Martins, Boeing etc not only does US have some of the most advanced tech industries but they even have many of them given rise to competition. US has better research facilities. Has better tech suppliers and contributors from allied western countries. Has better military tech collaboration with advanced countries like Isreal, France etc.

No tell me how Russia technology fit take pass this one. Is it that they have the most money or better scientist and research facilities.
Even Russia they even dey source their tech from western cooperation...
Hand in stick no be fly by wire. Link 16 no be 1 way radio.

Thanks for your contribution, the teenager just kept me entertained with his childish assessments of America

Balogunodua:
Lol Rubbish line of Muslim shit...again

The Germans lost the war at Stalingrad where two third of their military equipment were destroyed and captured by the Red army...they lost more soldiers to the Red army then they did with the USA and it Allies...Fact

Winter alone don't win wars...bravery and determination does, that was why the so called powerful USA lost the Vietnam war against farmers...

I know Vietnam will be the next mention clown. Why didn't America use its atomic bomb in Vietnam even though it even had hydrogen bombs among others as at then? Why didn't it use it on north Vietnam so that we see how much longer the north can fight afterwards? Is the same reason Putin is not using his nuclear on Ukraine and only teenagers like you will assume Russia is actually fighting Ukraine. You are toddler full of rubbish most likely overheard from your drunken Father's pointless arguments. You are excused

Balogunodua:
You are just spewing trash with confidence...America where dealt with by Japan during world war 2 in many battles...German were the best soldiers during world war 2 and concentrated all their manpower on Russia invading it with 2million plus soldiers and superior firepower..yet they stand still against hunger, cold and blood. The coward USA were fighting Japan with it allies and yet did not make any gain without China...The USA over hyped D-Day came when Germans were at their low after they were defeated by the great Red army....It a proven Fact that the Red army won world war 2.

Another teenager, so the German soldiers on the Western flank in Normandy had been defeated by Russians on the eastern flank? Russians that thanked their winter and the moronity of german commanders from saving moscow from capture with germans only 60 kms away? I know you are a muslim and i know why America hurts your hopeless egos

AldrichAmes:
Biden isn’t a weakling - he’s just a face of the power brokers and powerful force that run the US - just like every other US president. It’s by design and US presidents are mostly controlled puppets. Obama also wasn’t the one running things when he was the US president.

It’s also a misconception that the US was feared by all. That’s just make-believe like Hollywood movies. Those who fear the US are European countries and 3rd world countries. Countries like Russia and China have never feared the US. The US just never really troubled them until now. And what they’re doing now is basically reacting to American threats on their borders.

People tend to forget the poor China was the one that did most of the fighting during the Korean War against the US and allied countries and the Chinese technically won that war (but it’s regarded as a stalemate officially). And that was the US at its peak militarily because it was vastly superior to every other country on earth militarily (save for the Soviet Union) and China at its lowest both militarily and economically. So why would a country that pulled that off fear the US? And Americans have always been weary of Russia because it inherited almost everything Americans feared about the Soviets.

Regardless, NATO needs to be really scared. No NATO country has fought a country as strong as Ukraine on the ground since the end of WW2. Fighting defenceless goat herders is different from fighting a formidable peer military that has a lot of support. And Russia is currently doing that with a fraction of its military (less than 10%) despite being outnumbered by 4:1 and they’re achieving results (despite initial setbacks) whilst rotating forces to get the needed frontline experience and tactical battlefield awareness. Combine that with the Chinese and US + NATO countries don’t stand a chance in a real shooting match.

I always laugh when people easily forget who America is. So you think Russia is equal or more than America in terms of weapons? Are you aware every top country was racing to get the atom bomb when America first detonated 2 on Japan and ended WW2 in 1945? It took Russia till 1953 to test their own. Are you even aware Russia commits almost all it's resources (income) into armaments while neglecting other areas because of an imagined arms race? Meanwhile America just commits a fraction of their resources. Is the same mistake north korea is making whereby the oaf is procuring nuclear armaments while the country's electricity is as hopeless as Nigeria's, is that true strength? Are you aware America's GDP is over 10 times larger than Russia's GDP? It is open secret that practically every technology of the West was stolen by the KGB during the cold war and there's nothing Russia has designed without first stealing the blueprint. Is it not the same method Russia has taught to China their ally? Russia nearly lost it's capital to Hitler during WW2 a war they fought from day 1, but America ended that war after entering over 2 years late in 1941? Russia knows better than you and is why Putin is the one always issuing threats of his imaginary armaments while America just listens. Watch and see

Moshkom:
Oh! Sorry for the denial bro.

I won’t lie, You failed in preparation. I doubt you did proper mock(s) before the interview.

You really have to act up towards your next application.

Maybe;

- Change school to one with low Cost of Attendance.
Check out TRUMAN STATE UNI, they automatically gives 10k to international students and their COA is ‘just’ 28k. Minus the 10k, your sponsor would now have ‘just’ 18k to cover has deficit

- Do proper prep talks, mock and know-how before you next visa interview, with someone that is more knowledgeable in this field.

- Your Parent should be your best sponsor in the Undergraduate path. If they can’t in this ‘primary level’ of yours, then try to convince the VO why your uncle is taking their position.

PS: In MOSHKOM’s words “Dem no dey rush go embassy oh”.
Because this one you are already calculating your SEVIS payment expiring date against your next possible interview date ehn, calm down oh.

- Don’t forget NOT to apply to COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
- Don’t forget to apply at the right age range.

Good luck Young Champ!!!

Pls bros if you can say a little more on the age range thing, thanks
