Papa try small mama worwor pikin worwor.. mumsi hw far na? who's the father?

A Brit who was officially the world’s fattest man
has died from pneumonia, his family have
announced.

Keith Martin, 44, suffered with weight problems
for most of his adult life, at one point consuming
as much as 20,000 calories a day, nine times
more than the recommended amount.

His sister Tina told the Mirror last night of her
brother’s passing in March.
‘We’re still grieving. We miss him very much,’ she
said.

Mr Martin said his extreme size came form a
lifetime of binging of high sugar junk food such as
pizzas and fizzy drinks, which he turned to as his
comfort food.

Reaction vs. Response

Suddenly, a cockroach flew from somewhere and sat on
her. I wondered if this was the cockroach’s response to all
the glory that was spoken about it! She started screaming
out of fear. With panic stricken face and trembling voice,
she started doing jumping, with both her hands
desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her
reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group got
cranky to what was happening. The lady finally managed
to push the cockroach to another lady in the group. Now,
it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue
the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In
the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the
waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself and
observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When
he was confident enough,
he grabbed and threw it out with his fingers.
Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the
antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started
wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their
histrionic behavior? If so, then why was the waiter not
disturbed? He handled it near to perfection, without any
chaos. It is not the cockroach, but the inability of the
ladies to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach
that disturbed the ladies.
I realized even in my case then , it is not the shouting of
my father or my boss that disturbs me, but its my inability
to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that
disturbs me.
It’s not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but
my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic
jam that disturbs me.
More than the problem, it’s my reaction to the problem
that hurts me.
Lessons learnt from the story:
I understood, I should not react in life. I should always
respond.
The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.
Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are
always intellectual.

It's by God's grace I made FTC on a Sunday and not just on any thread but on Seun's thread. I prayed for this in church today and God granted me my heart desire. To all those who started this ritual, Thumbs up. It feels good to be here.

This is a pretty long writeup meant to enlighten youths who dread pot belly in the future.

Note: Your six packs doesn't guarantee you to be pot belly free although it's an added advantage for them ladies

[b]Pot bellies have, for generations,
been associated with excessive
intake of beer and other alcoholic
drinks. However, experts have shed
light on this, saying that pot belly
is a hereditary problem which,
when given the right environment, manifests in a man.

It is usually the practice in many communities to make
fun of men with pot bellies, considering that big bellies
are mostly seen in pregnant women. Some even attribute
these big bellies to excessive alcohol consumption and
the fact that such men eat a lot of meat.

Why some men have pot belly is a question that many
wonder about, especially because hardly is it seen in
young men, or even in those still in active sporting
activities such as football and athletics. But not to
worry: experts, looking into the phenomenon have found
that pot belly in men is a hereditary attribute rather
than a problem, arising from alcohol consumption.

Well, a study to shed light on this has revealed that
although, people who drink regularly are more likely to
put on weight, they do not necessarily accumulate fat
around the belly regions.

While the experts believed that the study provided an
empirical basis for the common belief that beer drinking
and waist circumference were positively associated, they
declared: “In terms of the beer belly belief, an
explanation could be that all the observed beer bellies in
the population result from the natural variation in fat
patterning and not from the fact of drinking beer.”

The scientists who undertook this study looked at beer
consumption, weight and body measurements in almost
20,000 people on two occasions over a period of eight
years. Age, smoking, education, physical activity and
several other chronic diseases were also taken into
account by the researchers. Men who were classed as the
heaviest drinkers regularly consumed over a litre of beer
a day.

It found that increased beer consumption over time was
linked with increased waist circumference, particularly for
men. However, once a person’s overall weight was taken
into account, the importance of these associations
disappeared, thus suggesting that any weight gain from
beer is distributed all over the body, rather than being
concentrated around the waist.

The team’s conclusion, in the study published in the
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, was that genetic
factors dictate how people put on weight far more
significantly than drinking beer. Though they argued
that beer bellies are actually caused by genes rather
than heavy alcohol consumption, they insisted that their
findings do not mean that drinking should be
encouraged, and recommend giving up alcohol
completely to avoid gaining weight.

Some cases were linked to stress. A hormone called
cortisol, released during stress response, was implicated
in developing belly fat.

Potbelly in many individuals may be an attestation to
their poor eating habits. A man that eats lots of food
and does little exercise is likely to develop a potbelly. It
is also a function of body shape and gender.

For instance, in middle-aged women, hormone loss
seems to play a role in its development after 40. As
women lose oestrogen, the female hormone, weight
gathers in the midsection.

Potbelly is due to over-indulgence in all sorts of food.
Even if you have a genetic trait for being fat, if you take
to your doctor’s advice early enough, it is possible to
prevent pot belly occurring.

A lot of reasons such as consumption of a diet rich in
sugar, fat and alcohol intake over time, can lead to
someone having a pot belly. Evidences point to the fact
that those with pot belly stand a higher risk of
developing diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases
such as stroke and heart disease.

Though some people are genetically predisposed to
being fat, when such people indulge in taking unhealthy
diet and live a sedentary lifestyle, the individual may be
setting a foundation to developing pot belly and other
cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and heart disease
and thus, such people can die young from complications
associated with these health conditions.

Potbelly could also be suggestive of other hidden
diseases that are yet to manifest such as liver problem.
Pot belly can occur in someone that has liver disease
that stated for more than six months due to collection
of water or fluid in their belly. It could be so big that
when people see the man, many people may think it is a
sign of good living.

Experts are of the opinion that the more beer you drink
the more weight you gain. Beer and other alcoholic
drinks are high in calories and will contribute to weight
gain if taken in excessive amounts. Meanwhile, excess
weight gain is detrimental to health in numerous other
ways.

In terms of public health relevance, the researchers said,
“Our data provided only limited evidence for a site-
specific effect of beer drinking on waist circumference,
and beer consumption seems to be rather associated
with an increase in overall body fatness. It may be
therefore important to focus on beer abstention to
maintain body weight.”

Having a pot belly is not really worth it. Apart from the
possibility of this predisposing to health problems like
cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and stroke,
experts have linked it with cognitive decline as one gets
older.

Abundant evidence shows exercise can help with pot
belly. The benefits of exercise may sound too good to be
true, but decades of solid science confirm that half an
hour of moderately intense physical activity in a day can
help you avoid a host of serious ailments, including heart
disease, diabetes, depression, and several types of
cancer, particularly breast and colon cancers. Regular
exercise can also help one sleep better, reduce stress,
control one’s weight, brighten one’s mood, sharpen
one’s mental functioning, and improve one’s sex life. In a
nutshell, exercise can help maintain a health and well-
being.[/b]

let me just park here small till day break and people start seeing this

booked

cool

I got this from a friend and I decided to share

[b] "I started going blind when I was just a little kid,
subjecting me to the usual "four-eyes" moniker. I've
always had a weird complex about my glasses, and spent
over 20 years wearing contact lenses. They finally took
their toll, and now I can't wear them without my eyes
having the red appearance of having smoked three
bowls. So I went back to my glasses, and my weird
complex. I won't get Lasik, largely because I'm chicken.
My husband says he likes me better with my glasses. He
says I look fine with them, and they give me such an
intellectual appearance that no one but him would know
how hot and freaky I really am. I'm pretty sure he's
lying; guys learn to do this after 15 years with the same
woman. I'll take it, though, for what it's worth.
Have you ever noticed in the movies when they want to
make the homely girl hot, the first thing that happens is
she loses the glasses?
So, opinions, people: Can a bespectacled woman be
sexy? For that matter, ladies, do you like guys with
glasses?" [/b]

Are you an atheist? #just asking sha no harm intended

President Goodluck Jonathan has described
himself as the best leader to be produced by
Nigeria. The President said no leader since the
country gained independence in 1960 had done
better than himself for the country. He,
therefore, said the comment made by former
President Olusegun Obasanjo, in which the ex-
President described Jonathan’s performance as
below average, was untrue.

Congratz to them

I won't pray for my enemy to have tribal marks o.. Tattoo is way better if it's minute.

RIP in advance

penquin:

OMG!!!!!! I screamed when I saw this topic.. My sis introduced me to the show just recently and I loved him immediately.. I wonder how she'd react when she sees this.
May his soul Rest In Peace

Don't blame her, blame Darey Art Alade who invited her to Nigeria. I wonder why he thought her worthy to visit Nigeria.

#I won't lie, reading her tweet pained me.

So, yday my friend told me she wants to quit wearing trousers and all I said was "do as you wish". I really didn't mean it in a bad way. But she took it another way and started giving me the silent treatment. I tried talking with her for another 30mins apologizing and what not but she just totally locked me out. I walked out on her pissed. Now I'm considering not talking with her anymore. Since she found out how angry the silent treatment makes me, she does it at any slight opportunity. She's just a friend tho'.
What should I do?

"I want you" is the best response to such a question. Trust me it works like a charm.
