Only "this type of issues"? How about we don't joke at all.

And where was it IMPOLITE?

You know.

It's nice to post this topic to make us aware of Hepatitis B.... and how it can spread. But all the "fillings".... lovely sunny morning .... and the unproven story about the family and the herbalist take away from the main point.

Repeating the irrelevant part of the article in your comment and making a huge deal out of it, is what takes away from the main point.

Tellemall:
How sure are you that the hepatitis was gotten from a razor used 42 years earlier? Why and how did they all incubate this same hepatitis for decades, if at all that is true? Where is this special razor blade and the results from tests carried out on it?

The hepatitis could have been caught some time recently and perhaps bad drinking habits caused it to surface. Hepatitis is contagious and so people who share drinks and food can infect themselves with it. If it's more contagious than HIV then toilet use is a way in which it is spread(urine left on toilet seats, etc). Hepatitis can also be gotten from poorly washed fruits, too.

I believe more hepatitis awareness is needed. As a medical personnel, who says it's a cheap test, why doesn't the author encourage people to do it by actually stating the current price range?

It's okay to just POLITELY add your two cents.

what??

You know you're not under compulsion to leave a comment, right?

A broken form of the English Language, which has now become a language in its own right.

Some Nigerian pidgin words and their meanings include:
wetin - what
na - is a/it is/it was ,
don - has,
dem - they/them
wey - who/that/where,
dey - are,
pilé/palé - father,
milé/malé - mother.

Used in informal/relaxed settings among persons who are looking to create a friendly rapport or already share one.

Also used for communication between individuals who do not speak the same language.

Used in songs by most Nigerian musicians.

When it is overused by literates it may diminish their command of proper English Language.
For example, consider this interview where D'banj, an entertainer and fairly educated man, struggles with articulating his thoughts in proper English.
Watch for 0:58 - 1-06 where he says "Agriculture as been seen as fastest way of eradicating poverty and of creating job creations across Africa"

Some eloquent speakers argue that speaking pidgin does not affect the way they speak proper English. This may be true if there is a balance in the use of both. But if you speak pidgin 90% of the time, do not expect to flow when called upon to give an impromptu interview on CNN.

Banned by parents in some homes as it is considered tasteless.

Some teenagers from homes where it is banned eventually pick it up in school to win the approval of their peers. (Me sef do dat wan)

In Nigeria, the easiest way to the appear down-to-earth, is to speak as much pidgin as possible, especially when it is not necessary.

Never mind what anybody says about the Element. Its a nice compact suv.it has the capacity to haul and accomodate loggages than u can think of. The only short fall is that it can only sit 4 people.but with more than enuf leg room and space. Infact u can organise a party inside an Element.

I got one unexpectedly january this year. And am so loving it. Its a 4 wheel drive and has a very quiet cabin. I was told by 2 other people who drives it before i got mine,that the car is less prone issues. They dont do repairs all year round except service and minor upgrades.
And it can sit 5 when u put a pillow on the cup holders on the back sit.

Well thanks xerotop. You couldn't have said it any better. That's pretty much everything I like about the car.

(To the rest)
The shape eh? ... Well I'm going to keep driving it, if only to annoy other motorists.

I've noticed that whenever I drive past certain spots in my area, some agbero would yell out "Element!" Once it was a female attendant at a petrol station that did the same thing. At other times, I just get a condescending smirk from people. I never experience this when I drive my other car.

I was wondering if anyone could demystify 'the Element stigma.'
