Health / Do We Care About Genotype Test Before Marriage? by leonshom(m): 7:12am On Mar 21, 2013
The genotype is the genetic makeup of a cell, an organism, or an individual (i.e. the specific allele makeup of the individual) usually with reference to a specific character under consideration.
The chances of having children with sickle cell disease is the same as when AS and AS have kids
1 in 4 chance of SC-sickle cell disease but may not be as severe as SS( but they are still sickle cell disease sufferers)
How many people put into consideration genotype test before marriage, or to know the genotype of their husband/wife to be even before marriage is conducted?

Romance / How To Know The Difference Between Love, Infatuation And Lust ! by leonshom(m): 12:43am On Mar 17, 2013
Part 1: How to Recognize True Love

1.Examine whether you treat the object of your interest as a person or a thing. You care for this person even knowing his or her faults. You are committed to sticking together even through the most difficult circumstances. You can tell this person anything about yourself, even if the truth doesn't flatter you, and you know that your partner will accept you.




2.Evaluate how secure you feel. You know that your partner will stand by you no matter what, and you are prepared to commit to your partner for the rest of your life.


3.Think about how long you've been in the relationship. You have known the person for a long time, and you can't imagine life without him or her.


4.Observe how sex affects your feelings. After you have sex with your partner, you feel closer to him or her. For you, affection and post-coital cuddling are just as important as sex, although you love to keep the flame alive.


5.Analyze the way that you're thinking about the other person. Something funny has happened to you at work, and you can't wait to tell your partner. Alternatively, you've had a bad experience, and you want to talk to someone who will understand. If your partner is the first person that you think about when you want to share your innermost thoughts, then you may be in love.


6.Look at how you handle conflict. When you have an argument with your partner, you keep working until you're able to find some common ground. No argument can erase your commitment to one another, and you appreciate your partner speaking the truth even when it's painful.


7.Consider your feelings about moving the relationship forward. You feel comfortable with your partner, and you feel a strong bond of trust. Moving in together or getting married feels natural and logical.[1]


Part 2: How to Know if You're Infatuated

1.Examine whether you treat the object of your interest as a person or a thing. When you experience infatuation, your mind is consumed by thoughts of the other person. You're thinking not only about the other person but also about how you want to reveal yourself to the other person. You have an idealized vision of what this person is like, and your vision may or may not be accurate.


2.Evaluate how secure you feel. Instead of feeling secure, you are thinking more about how to impress the other person. Your focus is on how to get the other person to like you, and you feel nervous because you don't know how the other person feels.


3.Think about how long you've been in the relationship. Your relationship is pretty new, and while you're constantly thinking about the other person, you're not confident that he or she has what it takes to go the distance.


4.Observe how sex affects your feelings. Sex is exciting, but you feel tentative afterward. You worry about whether your partner found you appealing, and you worry about what the next step after sex will be.


5.Analyze the way that you're thinking about the other person. You think constantly about the way that the person smiles, the way he or she says your name or the way that your partner looks at you. You think obsessively about these details, and you try to decide how the person feels about you based on these somewhat trivial qualities.


6.Look at how you handle conflict. The person you like disagrees with you, and you wonder if the relationship is over. You wonder whether you know the person at all or whether your impressions have been wrong all along.


7.Consider your feelings about moving the relationship forward. You want to ask the person to date exclusively, but you're nervous about what he or she might say. You're afraid that asking for commitment may frighten the person away. Your feelings aren't deep enough for love; you're probably more in the realm of infatuation.[2]


Part 3: When You're Feeling Hot, Bothered and in Lust

1.Examine whether you treat the object of your interest as a person or a thing. If you're looking to catch someone as a prize or to get someone to go to bed with you, you're treating the person like a thing, and you're probably experiencing lust.


2.Evaluate how secure you feel. Security isn't important to you; you're more interested in the score and in how great it feels to be physical together. After you get what you want, you can take or leave the other person.


3.Think about how long you've been in the relationship. You may just be meeting the person you're interested in, or you may have known the person for a long time. In either situation, the relationship is more about fulfilling your sexual desires than it is about creating a partnership.


4.Observe how sex affects your feelings. You have sex with the person, and even though it's great, your mind has already moved onto something else. You wonder how long you have to hold the person afterward, and you're already thinking about scoring your next sexual encounter. Or you want to keep having sex with the person--at least, until somebody else comes along.


5.Analyze the way that you're thinking about the other person. You're trying to figure out what you have to do to get this person to invite you up for a nightcap. Your focus is on knocking down the person's guard so that he or she will be open to a sexual encounter.


6.Look at how you handle conflict. Who cares if you have an argument? You can find someone new without the hassle of bickering and fighting. The sex is great, but it's not worth the baggage--unless it's make-up sex after one of those passionate arguments.


7.Consider your feelings about moving the relationship forward. In reality, you could care less about getting exclusive with your partner. You're satisfied to date other people, and you don't care if the other person also has multiple partners. Even though you may feel jealous if your lover finds another partner, your lack of commitment suggests lust, not love.
Romance / How To Differentiate Between Love And Friendship by leonshom(m): 12:31am On Mar 17, 2013
1.Note that there are many similarities between love and true friendship. You need to really look and analyze your feelings for the person in question.

2.True friendship is when even during the biggest fights, you'll still be friends. When you won't ignore each other over some stupid argument. You'll think that you hate each other, but really find yourself knowing that life isn't the same without a great friend to be by your side.
Love is basically the same thing. Even when you two fight, you'll sit alone and wish that they were by your side. You'll miss them more than words can say. You'll feel like even if you have nothing, you'd still have a reason to live if they were with you.

3.Realize that true friendship is when you can do anything together with the other person. You feel comfortable around them. You can talk to them and tell them secrets that you otherwise wouldn't tell people.

4.Realize that love is when you have a problem, you can go to your partner and talk to them about it. You know that they will listen to you and give you advice back. That they won't say "I don't have time right now." or "I don't care about your stupid problems!" They will care about you and what you have to say.

5.Understand that true friendship is when someone makes fun of you or bullies you, your friend will stand up for you and tell that person off. Your friend will tell you that the person was a slowpoke and that they had no clue what they were talking about.

6.Understand that love is when someone makes fun of you or bullies you, your partner will stand up for you, then tell you that the bully was wrong. That there's nothing wrong with you. That you're as perfect as a human can possibly be.

7.Learn that true friendship is when your friend moves away, you know that you two will find reasons to keep in touch, no matter how expensive or crazy. You won't let the friendship slip away.

8.Learn that love is when your partner and you are rarely apart. You don't have to be with them every second of the day, but when you need to be apart, you'll stay in touch. If your partner gets a job offer in another country, they'll either turn it down or take you with them.

9.Note that true friendship is when someone flirts with your friend, you feel happy and excited for them.

10.Note that love is when someone flirts with the one you love, you feel jealous, but then realize that your lover loves you and only you.

11.Understand that true friendship is when you know that your friend would never ask you to change, because you're amazing just the way you are.

12.Understand that love is when you know that your partner would never ask you to change, because they know that who you are makes you YOU. They respect that and love you because you're you. They accept your flaws.

13.Believe that true friendship is when your friend would never pressure you to do anything you don't want to do.

14.Believe that love is when your partner would never pressure you to do anything you don't want to do unless absolutely necessary. They're willing to push you a little bit so that you can reach your full potential, but they know when you really don't want to do something. They can sense it in you. And when they do, they'll back down.

15.Realize that true friendship is when something comes up that's great for you, but not so good for them, they'll tell you to do it so that you can become a better person.

16.Realize that love is when something comes up that's great for you but not for them, they'll tell you to go for it. They'll tell you to ignore everyone else's needs and focus on you and what matters to you. They'll help you make tough decisions.

17.Understand that true friendship is when you feel like you've met the brother/sister that you've never had.

18.Understand that love is when you feel like you found another part of yourself. Like you're complete.

19.Accept that both true friendship and love are similar in the way that for either one, you'll do anything for the person in question. True Friendship and Love are also similar because when the person in question is happy, whether they're a true friend or your lover, you feel happy too.
Nairaland / General / My Oga At The Top: Wife Protest At Channels Tv. by leonshom(m): 10:16pm On Mar 16, 2013
MY OGA AT THE TOP: Wife Protest At Channels TV.

**Don't Judge My Husband at His Hour of Error.
**My Kids at School at ridiculed by their mates.
**Our Neighbours and Fellow Market women make jest of me everyday.
**My Husband can't sleep at Night any more because of the Video.

The wife of the NSCDC Commandant that was ridiculed in the crazy "My Oga At The Top" video has been reported to have forced her way into Channels TV studio today to protest bitterly to the chairman of Channels on the damages the crazy video has caused his family.
She cried that her kids at school are been ridiculed everyday by their mates. On her part, her neighbours and fellow market women make jest of her everyday. She say that the worse of the issue is that her husband can't sleep at night again because of the terrible embarrassment the video has caused him.

In fact she says the man cry every night and also, the so called Oga at the Top is even contemplating sacking or demoting the man because of the damages the video has caused NSCDC.
[Before this woman came back from the protest at Channels TV, Her Husband has received a call about his suspension].

We are appealing to the Chief Commandant of NSCDC who rescind his decision to sack or punish this man as a result of his interview at Channels TV.
We are also appealing to the Lagos state Government to send social workers to this family to counsel them on how to deal with sad development.
It will be ashamed if we hear that any member of this heart broken family committed suicide as a result of this embarrassment.

Religion / God Is Not A Muslim! He’s Not A Christian Either! by leonshom(m): 10:20pm On Mar 14, 2013
By By Philip Amiola
I have observed with strong feelings of embarrassment, the degree to which people can be so enslaved by religion that they would go to great lengths to defend their religious views.

People have been known to mutilate their bodies and engage in other forms of unseemly behaviour in the name of religion. Some members of a religious sect even go as far as committing such heinous crimes as arson, murder and rape all in the name of religion! How debased can the human mind be to commit such dastardly acts in the name of God! Such is the power of religion to condition people’s minds. As I pondered events surrounding Pope Benedict’s resignation and misleading rumors of his subsequent conversion to Islam, I was awestruck at the magnitude of influence wielded by religious personages and religion itself.

A classic illustration of what religion can do to people’s minds is a story which recently made the rounds in Nigeria about a baby who was born clutching a copy of the al-Qur’an from the womb! I first got wind of this news on an online forum for university students where I expected the story to be greeted with some skepticism, but to my dismay, the supposed intellectuals fell for it hook line and sinker. With such comments as “Allah is mighty!” my friends went all the way against every principle of nature to prove that the “supernatural incident” was, among other things, an evidence of the greatness of Allah and a warning of impending judgement to the infidels.

I had earlier read a similar story about a commuter bus being caught in an inferno with everything destroyed and all the passengers roasted to death while a copy of the Holy Bible remained untouched by the fire. It’s amazing how quickly we employ such misguided stories as groundless evidence to support our faith. Religion is indeed the opium of the people! Now, I’m not disputing the fact that such incidents could have happened by chance or careful manipulation, but it defies all sense of justice and truth to attribute them to an act of God. Perhaps it would have been a more plausible story if the Bible had saved the vehicle from burning and the lives of the passengers from being wasted. Truth be told; the Bible and the Quran in and of themselves are just like any other book. You may not really get the raison d’être of any book simply by reading the letters. To grasp the message, you must understand the spirit of the author.

It is high time we stopped fooling ourselves and subjecting ourselves to needless mental torture by means of propagandist ideas and religious hype. With the heightened awareness of the supernatural world that has characterized the past decade globally, one will have to be either sincerely ignorant or deliberately dishonest to deny the existence of God. But God and religion are not the same! Religion does not make us relevant before God. True religion is a vital relationship with God which causes His life to be reflected in us and through us as we personify His attributes, the core of which is love. We need not discard logic to substantiate our religion or faith. Faith and logic can actually agree. Our life of faith must be a response to God’s power at work in us, not to some fancy mental or emotional footwork by anyone, regardless of who they are.

Education / What's The Essence Of Proficiency In English Test For Nigerian Applicants? by leonshom(m): 11:37pm On Mar 01, 2013
Why do most International schools requires Nigerian applicants to show their Proficiency in English by writing English test like TOEFL, IELTS, MELAB,COPE etc before they could be considered for admission, it is a common act for oversea schools especially in the UK and US to ask for Proficiency in English test for admission purpose. Despite our official language and language of Instruction at school is English, i don't see it mandatory to demonstrate their English proficiency by writing those tests on admission basis, though, Nigeria is on exception list for some schools "Not to write any tests, especially Canadian universities.Whats your viewpoint on this issue?
