Health / Re: Nigerian Meals That Kills Body Fat by longshanks23: 3:53pm On Jan 09, 2014
adeola_drg:

Les see..
17. I read this in a bch textbook long ago. Very true.
15. Banana contains the enzyme bromolain. This increases and man's libido and reverses potency in some. It also helps the digestive process and prevents constipation.
13. Onion and garlic belong to the same family. They contain omega h3 and are good for hypertensives and people with heart issues. I can go on and on. My point is, I don't see how they affect insulin as stated above. Grapes and lemon have a good number of antioxidants, I'd stop here.
When u say 'affect' insulin, do u mean to increase or decrease d output? Is insulin lipolytic or lipogenic?
Romance / Re: Whats With Guys And Boobs? by longshanks23: 8:14pm On Jan 07, 2014
@OP, U know a baby can suckle on a bobbie that's as hard as stone? All he needs is for his mouth to find the nipple-areola complex.
His hungry mouth on those warheads stimulate what is known as the 'milk letdown reflex' as a result of hormones oxytocin and prolactin, causing milk to flow down into his waiting mouth.
Moral of the story:Bobbies were meant to be squeezed.
For pleasure.
By men.

Romance / Re: Most Nigerian Ladies Are Boring...not Current! by longshanks23: 6:08pm On Jan 05, 2014
Wislet: I don't know what you people are talking about.

@post, I think it's a 'supposed to' thing for a citizen to be aware of what's happening around him/her. Ignorance is no bliss....it's danger. When yo are asked to run, you will not because you do not listen to the news, you don't care to know the recent happenings in your state and the country at large.

It's good to have a little knowledge about every sector of the economy.

How can a person comfortably stay in a cocooned world...you only sleep, wake, eat, go to work, watch movies/music, probably gossip and that's it. Our idea of news these days(for some) is gossip and rumour mongering.

Read the papers, watch the news, engage in intelligent conversations...be interested in your country's politics and governance...if you aren't, who is supposed to do so for you? Who is going to tell the leaders what you want and keep them accountable?

It's little wonder young men and women of today do not have the interest to read long 'epistles'. You keep hearing, ''Oooh...who do you expect to read all that? Pls summarize'', etc.
Young people? If it were the older generation, one would understand. But young people with energy, clear eyes, sharp intellect, to see reading as a chore is unbelievable.

I like politics...could talk about it on and on...the banking sector, the infamous letters, the party games, Nigeria's geographical distribution and history, the war in South Sudan, Egypt uprising and so on.

It's good to know not only your surroundings, but about others too.

Even the Late Nelson Mandela asked the Nigerian official who went to pay him a private visit if the apartheid story and Nigeria's contributions and help to South Africa and other nations weren't taught in Nigerian schools..... I can imagine the reaction of some students if that were to happen. Some would probably ask, ''How is this supposed to help me pass my exams/Can this put food on my table?'', and so on.

Yet, these are the supposed to be 'leaders of tomorrow'. How can you do better than your predecessors if you have zero inkling on the errors of yesteryears? How can you improve on what you do not know?

We need to change our mentality- as men and as women. The change you so cry and condemn others for could be in your hands tomorrow to effect. Would you do better if given the mantle NOW?

No one expects you to know EVERYTHING as some are crying... Just don't float in the clouds like you saw an alien when these and other topics of discuss are raised.

Teach your children to read (long passages too) and not watch TV all day. Maybe then we could start hoping to have an end to some unfortunate questions. You would only kill two birds with a stone in doing that: bring up for society witty minds(not touts, trouser and skirt saggers, local champions, and the like), and also increase the IQ of your children.
Sensible post.
A lot of Nigerian girls think the world revolves around Brazilian hair, makeup, BlackBerry and other mundane and banal things.
it is very difficult carrying out intelligent conversation with them. I cannot, and will not suffer a girl, no matter how pretty, who doesn't know who David Mark is, or doesn't know that to begin sentences with 'am' instead of 'I am' or 'I'm' is wrong.

Temptee101: Most Nigerian gals are very boring to be with, they hardly contribute meaningfully in a discussion. In most chats, the guys are left to do the talking while the ladies just sit there staring lyk dummies while channelling all their attention to pinging and because of this wherever the guy feels he has talked at length, in order to keep the two of them going, what comes to his mind is just kiss, smooch and have s.ex with her just to get her involve. What they are after is just ur compliments to them; how dey look, smile,dress, where u will take them to, what u will buy for them e.t.c. Thats why most relationships dnt last. Talking from experience
I agree with you. Once stopped talking to a beautiful girl (studying Theatre Arts) who didn't know who Chinua Achebe was.
Education / Re: Useless, cringe-worthy Degrees? by longshanks23: 4:48pm On Jan 03, 2014
With the poor mastery of the English Language displayed on CVs, application letters and even on NL, it is no wonder a lot of graduates have some difficulty getting hired.
Dreadful spelling, poor tenses, non-existent punctuation, starting sentences with 'Am' instead of 'I am' or 'I'm', and so on.
Employers may not care about your course of study, but your presentation, including your application helps a lot.
Education / Re: Useless, cringe-worthy Degrees? by longshanks23: 3:27pm On Jan 03, 2014
Universities advertise professional courses (you need to study these courses before you can work in the fields-medicine, law, engineering, theology, etc) and non-professional courses.
That being said, all undergraduate courses are templates for achieving tertiary education (emphasis on EDUCATION) and not necessarily as a source of livelihood.
No degree is worthless, as they are all meant to provide HIGHER EDUCATION. Most people want to study the professional courses but have to settle for others because of JAMB and co. and now lament the poor job prospects.
Let's take a look at Nigeria. How many employers have a need for a graduate of Local Government Studies? Even Banking and Finance graduates have a hard time getting banking jobs.Thankfully, with the exception of the professional courses, there is no law that says most jobs in Nigeria should be tailored to courses of study.
So, before going to study for a course, are you studying that course because of personal interest and enthusiasm for it, or are you looking for a livelihood?

Literature / Re: Can You Write A Full Story With Poem? by longshanks23: 12:15pm On Jan 02, 2014
Sammy Hoe: Here's an attempt I made, derived from my complete motivational novel called "Hope And The Island of Greatness"

The poem is about a young girl who was raped at 6 and the aftermath of the rape on her psychologically.

Here's it:

Title: I HAVE A LITTLE STORY

I have a little story
Excerpt from my allegory
Hope and Island of Great Glory
It’s all about poor Glory
A very little cherry
Who had a sorry story
While she was just a poor fairy
According to her diary
She met a man so hairy
On a day so bleary
While coming from the library
Built inside her primary
A gentle school solitary
Beside a little poultry
Adjacent a bakery
She heard a luring psaltery
Oozing from a storey


As she was by the storey
Being not so wary
A bulky man so hairy
With a face so scary
Looking very eerie
Jumped out of the storey
And tore apart her saree
And molested her girlry


Then he bent to carry
The crying little berry
Who was once a Mary
To the dirty storey
An uncompleted storey
Beside a clay so miry
Between a lonely quarry
And a dusty factory


He lit a fire so fiery
Close to her eyes so teary
Threatening in fury
That he will surely bury
The sad-looking Glory
If she reveals the story
To any living jury
Living in the country
Or to the infirmary
Farther from the primary


He left her in great hurry
Leaving her system jittery
And her future blurry
Receiving no query
For the deed so gory


With her face so watery
And her mood so wintry
She began to hurry
But when she saw a lorry
She had a thought to tarry
In front of the lorry
To grind her to slurry


Luckily for Glory
A man glimpsed the mystery
And has threatened to carry
The odd case to the jury
To be charged with battery
Or to the head so hoary
Who has lived a century
In contrasting rivalry
With the fam'ly of Harry
Who begins the mystery


But with a mere bribery
Of a healthy blackberry
And a confectionary
The talking dictionary
In the name of big Larry
Decides he will now bury
The sad case of poor Glory
A case of treasure robbery
Not thinking it treachery
Since gifts from randy Harry
will do for him to remarry
She becomes now more weary
When she gets the bad story
That if she chose to marry
A baby she'll not carry
For the severe injury
To her tender ovary
And her slender urinary
By the illegal ‘surgery’
In the name of adultery
Committed by bad Harry


Shortly after the scenery
There comes an obituary
Just in that same January
It is that of bad Harry
Fighting for his sanctuary
Backed up by ten cavalry
And ten other infantry
And ten more artillery
Coming from the armoury
Whom he will pay salary
But he ends in mortuary
In the fight of rivalry
Where he has no victory


Despite the death of mad Harry
Nothing changes for sad Glory
Being haunted by her memory
Now hating men like cemetery
And dabbles in harlotry
Playing with it like a lottery
Using it like a cutlery
To cut Tom, Diick and Harry
Lying with all and sundry
She brings to her gallery
Luring them with her tracery
Glommed to her neck like jewelry
Protecting not her womanry
Drooling pleasure like nectary
Yet not having to worry
Since babies she can't carry
No matter her open harlotry


Close to the end of her diary
She crosses her boundary
By loving a ‘cemetery’
Promising him her treasury
Without demanding a usury
She was ready for dowry
Which she will bring in February
Having jettisoned her harlotry
Wanting now to go marry
In what she calls a big ferry
Better than a large dory
Which is extraord’nary


Amazingly comes what to carry
In the womb like jewellery
Happy for her mammary
Glands to be for unborn Terry
Just by her deed with young Jerry
That single night so dreary
But Jerry refuses to marry
The pregnant damsel with long saree
But suggests she should miscarry
The foetus in her she'll soon carry
And then proceed to go marry


But Glory refuses to bury
Alive the seed in her tayberry
Whose coming's making her heart merry
And has turned around her sad mem'ry
To nothing but a history
To bring again her gone glory


To tell you in summary
The latter end of her diary
She ended up her life story
Ensconced in my allegory
Her 'ending-well' life story
By having Jerry to marry

Isn't this a great story? grin grin grin

Nice one. Keep it up

Literature / Why Do We Begin Sentences With 'am' Instead Of 'I Am'? by longshanks23: 6:52pm On Dec 31, 2013
One might put it down to pronunciation, but it is so common for people, especially on NL to begin sentences with 'am' instead of 'I am':
'Am so grateful to God', 'Am very happy today'.
This is incorrect grammar and the abbreviation 'I'm' instead of 'am' is the right one to use.
Literature / Silly Bastardizations Guys/ladies Use On Social Media by longshanks23: 6:27pm On Dec 31, 2013
It is commonplace nowadays to see words replaced with neologisms that we think are 'Behind' or 'cute '.
For example:
'sowee' instead of 'sorry'.
'pweedie' instead of 'pretty'.
'brava' instead of 'brother'.
'serzly' instead of 'seriously'.
'jawe' instead of 'jare'.
In my opinion, they are pretty silly and childish.

Health / Re: Doctors Performed C-section On 41-week Pregnant Woman But Found No Baby by longshanks23: 5:40pm On Dec 18, 2013
This is the 21st century. At some time during her antenatal visits, the pregnant woman would have had an ultrasound scan to show the fetal parameters, depending on the gestational age.
While there is such a condition as pseudocyesis, there is NO GROWING FETUS as in a normal pregnancy, all the clinical features being explained by an imbalance of hormones. lt is just impossible for a 3rd trimester live gestation to disappear prior to delivery, in the absence of any antenatal complications.
The obvious explanation would be that the delivery team did deliver the baby and did whatever they did with it.

A lot of Nigerian 'undergraduates' and 'graduates' don't know how to construct sentences. .e.g..beginning a sentence with 'am' instead of 'I am'.
Very prevalent on NL, I might add.

Observing the eclipse via a mirror in a bowl of coloured water (dye, ink) is relatively safe, compared to viewing it directly.
An Xray film, without images, is also relatively safe.
Viewing the eclipse with the unprotected eye can be dangerous, as the damage to the retina,even if not felt immediately, is permanent.
