you can as well sell any of your organ to earn a living

The human body is incredibly resilient. When you donate a pint of blood, you lose about 3.5 trillion red blood cells, but your body quickly replaces them. You can even lose large chunks of vital organs and live. For example, people can live relatively normal lives with just half a brain). Other organs can be removed in their entirety without having too much impact on your life. Here are some of the "non-vital organs".

Spleen
This organ sits on the left side of the abdomen, towards the back under the ribs. It is most commonly removed as a result of injury. Because it sits close the ribs, it is vulnerable to abdominal trauma. It is enclosed by a tissue paper-like capsule, which easily tears, allowing blood to leak from the damaged spleen. If not diagnosed and treated, it will result in death.

When you look inside the spleen, it has two notable colours. A dark red colour and small pockets of white. These link to the functions. The red is involved in storing and recycling red blood cells, while the white is linked to storage of white cells and platelets.

You can comfortably live without a spleen. This is because the liver plays a role in recycling red blood cells and their components. Similarly, other lymphoid tissues in the body help with the immune function of the spleen.

Stomach
The stomach performs four main functions: mechanical digestion by contracting to smash up food, chemical digestion by releasing acid to help chemically break up food, and then absorption and secretion. The stomach is sometimes surgically removed as a result of cancer or trauma. In 2012, a British woman had to have her stomach removed after ingesting a cocktail that contained liquid nitrogen.

When the stomach is removed, surgeons attach the oesophagus (gullet) directly to the small intestines. With a good recovery, people can eat a normal diet alongside vitamin supplements.

Reproductive organs
The primary reproductive organs in the male and female are the testes and ovaries, respectively. These structures are paired and people can still have children with only one functioning.

The removal of one or both are usually the result of cancer, or in males, trauma, often as a result of violence, sports or road traffic accidents. In females, the uterus (womb) may also be removed. This procedure (hysterectomy) stops women from having children and also halts the menstrual cycle in pre-menopausal women. Research suggests that women who have their ovaries removed do not have a reduced life expectancy. Interestingly, in some male populations, removal of both testicles may lead to an increase in life expectancy.
Colon
The colon (or large intestine) is a tube that is about six-feet in length and has four named parts: ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid. The primary functions are to resorb water and prepare faeces by compacting it together. The presence of cancer or other diseases can result in the need to remove some or all of the colon. Most people recover well after this surgery, although they notice a change in bowel habits. A diet of soft foods is initially recommended to aid the healing process.

Gallbladder
The gallbladder sits under the liver on the upper-right side of the abdomen, just under the ribs. It stores something called bile. Bile is constantly produced by the liver to help break down fats, but when not needed in digestion, it is stored in the gallbladder.

When the intestines detect fats, a hormone is released causing the gallbladder to contract, forcing bile into the intestines to help digest fat. However, excess cholesterol in bile can form gallstones, which can block the tiny pipes that move bile around. When this happens, people may need their gallbladder removed. The surgery is known as (cholecystectomy. Every year, about 70,000 people have this procedure in the UK.

Many people have gallstones that don't cause any symptoms, others are not so fortunate. In 2015, an Indian woman had 12,000 gallstones removed – a world record.

Appendix
The appendix is a small blind-ended worm-like structure at the junction of the large and the small bowel. Initially thought to be vestigial, it is now believed to be involved in being a "safe-house" for the good bacteria of the bowel, enabling them to repopulate when needed.

Due to the blind-ended nature of the appendix, when intestinal contents enter it, it can be difficult for them to escape and so it becomes inflamed. This is called appendicitis. In severe cases, the appendix needs to be surgically removed.

A word of warning though: just because you've had your appendix out, doesn't mean it can't come back and cause you pain again. There are some cases where the stump of the appendix might not be fully removed, and this can become inflamed again, causing "stumpitis". People who have had their appendix removed notice no difference to their life.

Kidneys
Most people have two kidneys, but you can survive with just one – or even none (with the aid of dialysis). The role of the kidneys is to filter the blood to maintain water and electrolyte balance, as well as the acid-base balance. It does this by acting like a sieve, using a variety of processes to hold onto the useful things, such as proteins, cells and nutrients that the body needs. More importantly, it gets rid of many things we don't need, letting them pass through the sieve to leave the kidneys as urine.

There are many reasons people have to have a kidney – or both kidneys – removed: inherited conditions, damage from drugs and alcohol, or even infection. If a person has both kidneys fail, they are placed onto dialysis. This comes in two forms: haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The first uses a machine containing dextrose solution to clean the blood, the other uses a special catheter inserted into the abdomen to allow dextrose solution to be passed in and out manually. Both methods draw waste out of the body.

If a person is placed on dialysis, their life expectancy depends on many things, including the type of dialysis, sex, other diseases the person may have and their age. Recent research has shown someone placed on dialysis at age 20 can expect to live for 16-18 years, whereas someone in their 60s may only live for five years.

The Federal Ministry of Health has told Nigerians to avoid the consumption of monkeys, bush meat and dead animal as doing so could expose one to the risk of Monkey Pox disease.


Currently in Bayelsa State, a medical doctor and no fewer than 10 persons have reportedly been quarantined as a result of the virus.
The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, gave the advice in a statement by the Director, Media and Public Relations in the ministry, Boade Akinola, on Thursday

According to the minister, the disease neither had a cure nor a vaccine, noting, however, that there was no cause for alarm as it was mild.

The statement read in part, “He (Adewole) said the virus was mild and there was no known treatment and no preventive vaccines , hence the public should be at alert and avoid crowded places as much as possible.

“He advised the public to avoid eating dead animals, bushmeat and particularly bush monkeys.”The minister also revealed that test samples had been sent to the World Health Organisation (laboratory ) in Senegal but the result was still being awaited.

He, however, called on Nigerians, who had symptoms of fever, back pain and rashes resembling chicken pox, to report to the hospital.

It added, “The symptoms include headache, fever, back pains and in advanced cases, rashes bigger than those caused by chicken pox.”

Nigerians thought they are the only ones with big back side, especially the Yorubas..lol. But guess what, you guys are still learning were South Africans dey…lol I meant no disrespect anyway but damnnnnnn.

This is what I call “earthing wey pot” according to the late Sam Loco Efe.

And to imagine that this is natural and without going under the knife to implant what ever they implant this days in advance world, makes it even more attractive. I think am imagining something[b][/b]

Maize farmers in Oyo State on Thursday said they had found solution to the menace of armyworms which had been destroying their farms

The Chairman, Maize Growers Processors and Marketers Association of Nigeria (MAGPAMAN) in the state, Mr Israel Oluwagbemileke, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ibadan.

Oluwagbemileke said farmers in the state were spraying juice extracted from Dogoyaro leaves on the crop to kill the pests.

He said the treatment had yielded high result, adding, “we boil Dogoyaro leaves, allow it to cool and then spray it on the crop early in the morning or towards evening.

“Within few minutes after spraying, the pests will die. They die as soon as the water touches them,” he said.

He stressed that the spray should be applied periodically, at least two weeks interval.

The chairman said the first application of the juice should take place after two or three weeks of planting to protect the crop from the pest.

He, however, said that the juice should be sprayed immediately if the farm is already affected.

“After spraying, the leaves become green and the crop begin to germinate well; maize farmers in the state have been using the method.”

Oluwagbemileke said that dogoyaro leaves could also be used to preserve grains.

“Get the leaves and dry it under a shade and later grind it, put the produce in bag and spread the powder on it.

“Arrange the bags one after the other and keep spreading the powder before putting each bag on top.

“The good thing is that the grain treated with the powder can stay for a maximum of one year. It cannot affect the quality of the produce,” he said.

Those I will Arrest When I Become President - Ayodele Fayose shocks Nigerians


People's Democratic Party chieftain, Ayodele Peter Fayose has reacted to the arrest of his close associates by the EFCC over the alleged diversion of bail out funds.

Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has said that those arresting people today will be arrested tomorrow.

This followed his insistence that he will become Nigeria’s next president.

Fayose, in a series of tweets on Thursday night, was reacting to the arrest of Toyin Ojo, his Commissioner for Finance by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The Governor insinuated that some people in Aso Villa were using the security and anti-graft agencies to intimidate him.

“The arrestors of today would be arrested tomorrow.

“Those who gave reasons@realDonaldTrump won’t be POTUS know better now. I want to be President of Nigeria, that’s what I will be.

“They think they can use @officialEFCC to intimidate us, we are waiting. But tell the Villa hawks that last year, they used DSS, it failed.

“They remembered bailout fund the moment I made it public that I was declaring for President. So, Ekiti was the only state that got bailout?,”

Everyone hates malaria, we also hate the welts we get from mosquito bites. Here's how to prevent getting bitten from mosquitoes.

A greater number of Nigerians visit the hospital because of malaria. Statistics show that malaria kills more people than HIV/AIDS.

We all know the cause of malaria is mosquitoes. So to prevent malaria, just avoid mosquito bites, right.

Yeah, that’s the problem, it’s almost impossible to avoid mosquitoes. They don’t seem to die; you can spray the whole room with insecticide till you’re blue in the face, they find a way to survive.

So the best thing to do is probably make sure they don’t come near you at all. On Dealdey, you can purchase this set of mosquito repellent bracelets.

They’re made of pure citronella oil and other components that make it impossible for insects to come near the wearer.

It can be used both indoors and outdoors. It is also safe for all age groups and even infants can wear the bracelet.
purchase the bracelets for N500 only.

It's getting tougher and tougher for phone makers to differentiate.

So LG's latest bright spark appears to be a phone that integrates an ultrasound mosquito repeller in its back hump, in an effort to appeal to users in India.

The K7i's sound emitting gadget works on a similar basis to devices we've had for years on the market, which emit ultrasonic waves inaudible to humans, to repel mosquitos. LG already includes this in other home appliances it makes, such as air conditioning units and even TVs.



The "Mosquito Away" K7i phone is really LG's existing midrange K7 Android smartphone, with the speaker as a removable back case.

When you buy the K7i, LG will throw in a regular flat case that'll help your phone fit into a pocket more easily — but that will also take away its mosquito-repelling abilities

It is a tough task to save part of monthly income as an average salary earner in Nigeria. I see and hear friends complain about how their salary cannot sustain them for a month and they get broke before the month end.
It is believed by most people that a job with a good pay gives people an opportunity to save more. This means with this kind of job, you can afford so many things without worrying about your income and can also save a substantial amount of the income for other projects.

Well, the truth is you have not gotten that job with a huge pay yet, so you need to prepare yourself for that big-paying job coming soon by learning how to take some really drastic frugal saving steps to save more with a monthly job.

Here are seven ways to save more as a monthly salary earner.

1. Hitch a ride with a colleague

Instead of taking your car or a public transport to work in the morning or when leaving the office at the close of business in the evening, you can hitch a ride with a colleague who owns a vehicle.
Find someone, not necessarily a colleague, it could be someone who works around your office. All the money spent on transportation and fuel could be saved for other purposes.

2. Go for a cheaper data plan with lots of bonus

Data subscriptions are quite expensive in Nigeria. Try quitting your expensive data plan and look for a telecommunication service with cheaper data plans and that give a whole lot of awoof (freebies) and bonuses.
You end up saving extra that could have been spent on an expensive data plan.

3. Make more of online calls

As small as it looks, buying airtime is expensive when you calculate how much you spend on calls and texts. With a new cheap data plan, try to make more of online calls and chats instead of calling and texting

WhatsApp and Facebook are good examples of social applications that provide online chat, video and voice calls.

4. Take a bit out of your colleague meals

Most workers don't have the time to wake up as early as 3 a.m to cook for work, so they buy lunch at the office. If you fall into the category of people who can't cook from home, you don't have to buy lunch every day at work.

You can skip breakfast and just have a cup of tea or coffee which could sustain you till midday and you can just eat a bit out of some of your colleague's food until you are satisfied.

eating with colleagues
eating with colleagues (123rf)
Ridiculous as it sounds, people do it. You just have to find the colleagues that won't frown at it. It would save you extra cost of not having to spend on lunch at work.

5. Learn how to bargain

Some people are natural bargainers. They know how to bargain on anything. Try to up your negotiation skills.

learn the power of bargaining

With the power of bargaining, goods and services that are said to be expensive, you can get them for good and reasonable price. Bargaining helps to save the extra that could have been spent buying goods and services.

6. Ask for discounts

People don't really ask for discounts when shopping for goods and also services. Be confident and ask for a discount. It is your money you are about to spend. The worst they can tell you is that there is no discount.

Speaking of discounts, there are some supermarkets that put large discounted sales on some products that are about to expire, probably six months to expiration.

Asking for a discount won't hurt.
If I am not sure of any I know about one of the largest supermarkets in Nigeria that gives such discounts on products. Take advantage of such discounts because you tend to save more from them.

7. Reduction of daily consumption

We all have household essentials that we need for daily use like toothpaste, bathing soaps, hair cream, shampoo, detergent. You can save daily consumption by reducing the amount you use.

If you are fond of dispensing toothpaste that covers the whole brush, you can just cut it by half. You can reduce and still get the output you need.

You can reduce daily essentials and still get the output you need.

By doing this, essentials last twice as long which means less visit to the supermarket for a new toothpaste or other essentials.

I find the thought of naming the babies straight from the hospital the day they are born appealing...no sinrenren.

very appealing to the mind but difficult not to do the celebration in this our society

[quote author=Windflower post=60796705]Its not difficult, few church members come they sit in your living room or rent small chair if its not enough,after the naming,you share whatever you have to .Everything is already over within a space of 3hours.I know someone who used this method


the question is that, if this naming ceremony is not done by Pastor or Cleric at all,, could there be any consequence

The Ogun government says arrangements are on to introduce its branded rice into the market before December.

Mr Tosin Ademuyiwa, the Special Assistant to the Governor on Agriculture, disclosed this to newsmen in Abeokuta on Friday.

Ademuyiwa said that rice would be available following massive planting of the commodity during the rainy season.

He said that the commodity branded, ‘MITROS rice’ would be produced and packaged in the state.

Ademuyiwa explained that harvesting of 1,500 metric tonnes of rice had began in various rice farms at Eggua in Yewa axis and Onigbedu in Ogun Central.

“At Eggua rice farm, rice will be harvested from 262 hectares of farmland while 110 hectares are at Onigbedu rice farm.

“Another 100 hectares of rice farm will be harvested at Iloti Ijebu within the next one month.

“The harvesting of rice will reduce the dependence of the state on imported rice and reduce its price in various markets, ” he said.

Ademuyiwa also said the state government was working hard to solve the problems associated with clearing of farmland by making land available for agricultural purpose.

Government, he added, also promised to provide inputs and processing facilities for farmers to ease the challenges facing the sector.

It is not everyone that spends money on naming. You could call a Pastor to come pray and name the child without any other person involved.
It is not all tribes that throw parties and even pick aso ebi for naming.
I intend to just call a Pastor to pray.[/quote]Christian will find it difficult to do this because they will invite all church members to attend there ceremony

[quote author=MykOnyxo post=60758707]what exactly is going on... tell me

some people were discussing about the issue, and I was like, is it compulsory to waste the hard earned money that could be use for other things

Evaberry:
it's not compulsory

There are no consequences

Nigerians just like troubling themselves with unnecessary things.


most people only do it because of tradition or spirituality(religion) I see it as a waste of money and time and will never do it

you sound not be religiously active

Child dedication or naming ceremony, any how you call it,
is it compulsory to observe this,
and if anyone choose not to,
what could be the consequence ?
It's just a religious activity. though my opinion

Doghari:
How many almajiri child voters whom you yorubas supported in 2015 will vote for a kaffir like him?

*just thinking aloud*

remember there are great numbers of Christian in the North

Pastor and General overseer of the Redeem Christian Church of God Pastor E. A ADEBOYE is a great man of God with Church branches all over the country also in abroad.
Just wandering with the profuse number of RCCG member nation wide, if Baba E.A ADEBOYE should contest for president coming 2019, what do you think will be the outcome of the election.

Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Professor Itse Sagay, has vowed that the body would ensure prosecution of bank chiefs who helped looters hide stolen funds.He said this on Tuesday at a public lecture in Lagos organized by the Nigerian Society of International Law.Sagay said the “epidemic of high-profile corruption” was committed with knowledge of bank chiefs.“They must not get away with it. In my own little way, we are going to push for the prosecution of such bank chiefs. They must be prosecuted”, he said.He noted that the legislature, senior lawyers, Special Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs), and some “hostile and powerful judges” work against corruption efforts.“There is a gang up of the powerful political, business, and banking elite that is determined to frustrate the anti-corruption struggle”, he added.The legal luminary lamented that National Assembly allocated N125 billion to themselves alone this year and that while the United States President earns$400,000 per annum, a Nigerian senator earns over $1.7 million.Sagay said besides a basic salary of N2.4 million per month, they earn allowances such as hardship (50 percent of basic salary), newspaper allowance (50 percent), wardrobe allowance (25 percent), entertainment (30 percent), recess (10 percent), and leave (10 percent), among others.The total allowances, he said, amounts to N29.5 million per month and N3.2 billion per annum.“Perhaps the most notorious example of the legislators’ resistance to the war against corruption is the rejection of the right of the executive to choose the persons who will spearhead that struggle,” he added.“The clear impression is created that Nigerian legislators are in office for themselves and not for the populace.”“Not surprisingly, the National Assembly has not passed a single bill for the promotion of anti-corruption war since it commenced business in July 2015.“The Whistle Blowers Protection Bill, the Proceeds of Crime Bill,and the Special Criminal Court Bill remain in a virtual state of stagnation.”“What evidence do we need to establish the hostility of the Eighth Assembly to the anti-corruption war?” Sagay quipped.
