Hello Optamologise, Please I need your advice.I had Glucoma and I went for surgery.After the surgery, I found out that all objects I focus on became very blurry.This wasn't so before the surgery. Now I could hardly see anything (this post was typed for me). What do you think is the problem? Is my retinal damaged? Is there any drug I can take or any surgery that can correct this. Thanks for the anticipated response. |

What I just don't understand is to make buying the book compulsory. This in itself is corruption and a way of de-frauding people. It should be optional. A few years back when my children(2) sat for JAMB, they bought Last Days at Forcados. Unfortunately they did not make it. The following year, they were made to buy the books again! Do you know how much they (authors, publishers and their cronies are making? The Registrar of the Board, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede disclosed this to newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja. According to him, a total number of 1, 662, 762 candidates registered for the 2018 UTME, within a period of two months, as against a total of 1,718,425 candidates who registered within one month in 2017Source: https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/jamb-records-decrease-in-number-of-registered-candidates-in-2018.html They know how much they are making. It is easy to calculate this: 500 * 1,718,425 (excluding DE). This gives us a tidy sum of 859,212,500. Yeah, you read it right! Eight Hundred and Fifty Nine Million Two Hundred and Twelve Thousand and Five Hundred Naira. There ia a cabal (my suspicion) that is behind the rip-off. When I wrote JAMB in the 80s, they used to cull passages. That is still OK. My take is that the amount charged for JAMB registration is way too much. Computerization is supposed to make things easier and cheaper. Yes the process of registration is easier, but it is way too expensive. The same thing happens with WAEC. They force people to buy calculator. Product forcing is unacceptable. Even if you have to do it, it ought to be way less costlier because the market is there. JAMB and government are being dishonest when they announced the cost has been cut down to 3.5K. It was only reduced to 4.7K. Please don't deceive us. Parents will only be interested in the TOTAL AMOUNT that is coming out of their pockets. I won't give my daughter 3,500 to register but 4,700. Stop being dishonest 3 Likes |

I am not against ritualists being handed over to the police if (and this is big IF) they will be made to face the consequences. However, in a situation in which they will be released few hours later, then to hell with civilization From what I have seen, the bones are dried ones. So he might not have killed somebody but went to a cementry to exhume. That is still wrong. I won't be happy to see my mother or dad exhumed for ritual purpose. This is a big societal problem. We have very wrong and warped values. I wonder what happens in the next 50-70 years. These days, we read about sons trying to kill their BIOLOGICAL MOTHERS for money ritual. Things are that bad. |

bender79:Joke of the year. Everything has changed. No. You are correct. Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed because New APC led by Bolarinwa Omolaja was sitting on keg of petrol and he was playing with lit candle. It will blow everyone of them away. I am neither in PDP nor APC but any knowledgeable person of Kwara politics will know what happened is bound to happen. What really happen? Before we get to that, let's see what was on ground in Kwara. APC (pre-Saraki leaving APC) had an executive DULY RECOGNISED by law. What I mean is that they conducted elections and were functioning. When Saraki left APC, the Fulani-Balogun 'refused' to leave with him. That is the official tale. To any thinking person, they were left there to do Saraki's bidding. Of course that was clear to the Central Authority in Abuja. What I mean is that Saraki left them, not that they were dis-enchanted with Saraki. Now Oshiomole sacked Balogun-Fulani led executive. They played into Saraki's hand. Oshimola has no legal right nor any legal backing to sack them. Politically he did the right thing but legally he was wrong. Balogun Fulani went to court. Technically, he won. Even a non lawyer will know that he would win. I am sure Saraki and his boys would be amused and laugh themselves to stupor seeing them holding primaries that would not hold in court. Part of the plan is that they will not go to court until very late in the day when it will be virtually be impossible to do anything. Most likely they will go to Appeal court. They will lose. They will go to Supreme court. They will lose. I wonder why APC's legal team did not advise Oshiomole about the futility of what he did. The Kwara APC executive led by Balogun Fulani had mandate to be in office for specified period. Nobody can just wake up one day and sack them. No chairman can just 'wake up' one day to sack it. When Saraki left APC and Balogun Fulani 'refused' to leave, I knew instantly what the game plan is. To those who are a little bit familiar with Kwara politics, have you ever heard any campaign jingles from Saraki for Kano Central while his 'supposed' opponent in APC, Oloriegbe has been on the airways. The APC faction recognised by the court are really Saraki's men left behind. So tell me, how is the real APC going to win Kwara? So we are having Atunwa (barring unforeseen circumstances) as the next governor of Kwara and Saraki will go back to Senate as the senator representing Kwara Central. PERIOD. 4 Likes 1 Share |

... provinces, the local kings ruled. The sons of such subject-king were kept at the emperor's court at Kumbi Saleh as a guarantee of their continued loyalty to the emperor. Below the provincial governors and vassal kings were the distric chiefs who enjoyed some degree of local autonomy in their traditional clan areas. All the rulers of the provinces paid annua tribute to the emperor and contributed their quota of warriors to the the imperial army when required to do so. In return for this service, the emperor ensured the provincial peoples protection against external enemies and the peace and facilities they required for participation in the prosperous trade of the empire. KUMBI SALEH The capital city of Ghana was Kumbi Saleh. According to AI-Bakri's account, the city consisted of two townships about ten kilometres apart. One was the Muslim section and the other the pagan section known as AI Ghaba, meaning "the grove". The Muslim township had twelve mosques and many Muslim scholar and jurists lived in it. Arabic was the written language here all throughout the empire. Al Ghaba was the royal town. Here some houses were built of stone and thatched with straw. The royal palace was built of stone and "adorned with sculptures, paintings and glass windows" ant was enclosed by a wall. Other buildings were of mud and thatcher with straw. There was a stone mosque in AI Ghaba for Muslin officials and diplomats at the royal court. Several archaeological excavations have been carried out in this century to identify the site of Kumbi Saleh, notably by Bonnel de Menzieres in 1914; Lazartigues in 1939 and Thomassey, Maune and Szumowski in 1949-51. The site of the discovered Kumbi Saleh is about 320 kilometres north of Bamoko in modern Mali Discoveries show that it was a well-populated city. JUSTICE The administration of justice in Ghana was taken seriously. In Kumbi Saleh, the king moved around every day on his horse inviting his subjects who had any complaints to come to his court Does the picture above show some brutes with leaves covering their unclothedness. Not at all. Lack of space and time will not permit me to post others. |

Here is also another exerpts. To any impartial reader, would the people be stark nakedd. I don't think so ... the people have gathered, his co-religionists draw near upon their knees, sprinkling dust upon their heads as a sign of respect, while the Muslims clap hands as their form of greeting." At the time Al-Bakri was writing, Ghana's emperors were pagans and lived in the pagan section of Kumbi Saleh, the capital. Some of the emperors' names have come down to us. Kaya Maghan was the black Soninke ruler who overthrew the minority "white" Berber dynasty and established a pure Soninke dynasty in about AD 770. He was an able ruler and united all the Soninke people under his leadership. It is believed that he founded Kumbi Saleh as his capital. His successors extended the empire eastwards and westwards. Basi ruled Ghana in the eleventh century. He is said to have been a wise ruler who encouraged the Muslims who lived in or visited Ghana, even though he remained a pagan. Tenkaminen succeeded Basi in 1072. He is mentioned in Al-Bakri's book: "The King who governs them at present ... is called Tenkaminen; he came to the throne in AD 455 (AD 1072- 73) .... Tenkaminen is the master of a large empire and a formidable power. ... " However, it was under him that Kumbi Saleh' was lost to the Almoravids in 1076. GOVERNMENT At the height of its power in the tenth and eleventh centuries, the government of the empire was remarkably efficient. In central administration, the king was assisted by a cabinet of ministers and civil servants supervising one aspect of state affairs or the other. By 1067, the majority of the cabinet officials were Muslims chosen for their literacy in Arabic and wider knowledge of the world. The Vizier, or Prime Minister, the Court Interpreter and the State Treasurer were Muslims. The emperor had flags which were carried before him as he rode round the city to receive the petitions of his subjects. There were a court of justice and a court of appeal at the capital. Because the empire was very vast, it was divided into provinces. In the Soninke areas, Soninke governors appointed by the central government were in charge of the provinces. In the non-Soninke |

Al-Bakri portrays vividly the pomp and pageantry 0f the Ghana emperor. "The King adorns himself like a woman, wearing necklaces bracelets, and when he sits before the people, he puts on a high cap decorated with gold and wrapped in turbans of fine cloth (emphasis mine). The court of appeal is held in a domed pavilion around which stand horses with gold-embroidered trappings. Behind the King stand ten pages holding shields and swords decorated with gold, and on his right are sons of the subordinate kings ... all wearing splendid garments and with their hair mixed with gold. On the ground around him are seated his ministers, whilst the governor of the city sits before him. On guard at the door are dogs of fine pedigree, wearing collars of gold and silver adorned with knobs… The royal audience is announced by the beating of a drum … I did not make up the above. I lifted it from an authority on history of Africa (West Africa). He in turn quoted Al-Bakri. An Arabian scholar of Cordoba in southern Spain. Al-Bakri wrote a book circa 1067 titled Kitab al Masulik wa’l Mamalik. In that book, he gave extremely interesting and useful information about the emperor and the magnificence of his court Points to note This was an impartial Arab writer who had no ulterior motive His account could have been easily checked There was no indication that neither the emperor nor any of his subjects were naked That account is about old Ghana empire Then the Europeans have never 'discovered' Africa 1 Like |

Too bad this thread is veering from the real issue. It has now come to the century-long manipulation of African history by the Europeans. I can see that some people have been reading too much of racist European writers, who are bent on equating Africans with monkeys. Only a few years back (as late as 1940s), the popular picture in the minds of Europeans was that there were no houses in Africa. People lived on top of trees! Can you beat that? They tried to justify the subjugation of Africa, the obnoxious slave trade with some laughable points. First and foremost, the writer of that thread (that shows pictures of women with their boobs out) is confusing two things. The normal way people live and traditional religious activities. Take a look at what I will referred to as Pics A & B. That is NOT the normal way they live. They wear clothes like Americans and Europeans. Those pictures were taken very recently. To now say that is the way people live is really laughable. They are just performing some religious rites. You don’t need to go as far as S. A. Somewhere in Kogi (either Igbiraland or Okun land, I am not too sure), it is done. When girls are ‘graduating’ from young girls to adulthood, that is what they do. For someone to now take that picture as proof that Nigerians are walking around half-naked is nothing but falsehood. So if you see me climb a mango tree to pluck a mango and you take my pics. Then that is a proof that Nigerians are living on top of trees. When you read history textbooks written by racists Europeans, do yourself a favour by reading a more balanced and objective ones as well. It is in European textbooks (and that was what I was taught in the early 1970s when I was in Primary school) that Mungo Park ‘discovered’ River Niger. How could he ‘discover’ a river that the locals have been fishing from for ages? That can only happen in western-oriented textbooks. 1 Like |

Bambambiglo:Thanks brother. We need to tell the 'Africans are barbaric', 'The West are cultured' and 'It is her body' crowd that there are acceptable behaviour in the society. For the westernised Africans who never see anything good about Africa, you can be arrested for indecent exposure in America. True, there are different laws pertaining to indecent exposure in America, each state and county has different laws. Take a look at this https://www.hg.org/legal-articles/nudity-and-public-decency-laws-in-america-31193 I am an old school and I am proud to be. My son that is in University will not come home with a lady wearing such trash. Thank God for my daughter. She dresses modestly, and she is beautiful.

I have never been to America neither have I been to Europe but I know that there limits there. We have laws against indecent exposure over there. When I was in the University in the 1980s, there was no ban then about indecent clthing because people dresses reasonably. Go to higher institutions these days, the sight you will see rankles. I quickly check on the internet and all those inferring that it is OK in the west. West has some kind of dressing code. I took a trip to Wikipedia. If it interests you check the following links: Clothing laws by country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothing_laws_by_country#United_States Specifically, I will quote the one pertaining to USA In the United States of America there are variety of different offenses, such as "indecent exposure", "public lewdness", "public indecency", "disorderly conduct" and so on, may involve exposure of a specific body part (genitals, buttocks, anus, nipples on women), a specific intention or effect (being sexually suggestive, offending or annoying observers). In some cases, a member of the opposite sex must be present. In Florida, designated nudity areas are given an explicit exception. There are also some specific prohibitions against sexual acts, such as having sexual intercourse in public, or publicly caressing someone in a sexual way. In Indiana and Tennessee, there are specific prohibitions against showing a noticeably erect penis through clothing, or other sensitive areas through semi-transparent clothing. (Emphasis mine) In some states, indecent conduct can also occur on private property, depending on the intent or effect of the act. In some cases there are exceptions for spouses, breastfeeding, and in New York, theatre performances. In most states, there is a governing state statute which defines the offense; in Maryland and Massachusetts, indecency is defined by case law.[27] Some local (county and municipal) governments also regulate personal exposure, as well as commercial activities such as strip clubs. |

[quote author=NinjaMetahuman post=73815027]lemme teach you one or two things about african culture. you see, before the first slave traders arrived, most africans dont see nudity as a problem. most african tribes and cultures only cover their penis and vaginas with leafs while others prefers to just go naked. only few cultures wear clothes before westerners came. when westerners came in their slave ships, they brought religion, cloths and western education. you see the cloth part, they taught/forced africans to dress according to their religion and culture (colonization), while they forced the rest on slave ship across Atlantic. Those times, they consider walking around with your boobs out in the open indecent and against their religion. now that western countries are gradually dropping religion and embracing science and technology, they are moving away from morality backed by religious laws that make it okay to slut shame women for how they dress, for the ones that is backed by secular laws. but africans like yourself still behaves like the slaves they colonized about 500 years ago. Thanks for the lecture. But I can perceive a tinge of condescension on your part. But let us be civil in our discusion. Most of the guys around, they don't think they can make their opinion known without hauling insults. I think you have a jaundiced history. Take a look at this: The precise origins of cloth production in Africa is lost in time, but archaeological findings indicate some of the earliest sites. Drawings of looms can be seen in the tombs of ancient Egypt, dating back to at least 2000 B.C.E. Archaeologists have found linen remnants in ancient Egypt, as well as fifth-century cotton cloth remnants in Meroe, in northern Sudan. In West Africa, woven fiber pieces dating back to the ninth century C.E. have been found in Nigeria (emphasis mine) , and woven cotton cloth dating to the eleventh century has been recovered in Mali. Evidence of loom use in Mauritania dates back to the eleventh century.You must have read too much of racist Westerners to see any thing good about Africa and Africans. There is a book I will like to recommend for you to buy and read. It is the standard textbook of SSCE for History. There you will learn about Mansa Musa and other great Africans and African civilizations and cultures before the advent of Europeans. Don't read too much of the trash spewed out by racists about Africa. Enough about that. What we are actually talking about the decency or indecency of a Nigerian lady living in Nigeria dressing the way she dresses. This has nothing to do with religion. Must our girls dress like Britney Spears of this world? |

I wonder what is wrong with some people! To those who are calling people jobless, no IQ, can you take that kind of person (with the way she dressed) to go and meet mama at home? For God's sake, we have values in Africa. I have never been to Europe or America, but Queen Elizabeth would never have dressed like that when she was her age. Mrs Trump would never do such things. Even if they did, this is Africa. We have our values. It is only un-thinking Africans that will not see anything wrong in what she wore. When Moses went to the land of Midianites, how did the woman who he encountered described him? She said an Egyptian. Why? Because he dressed like one. Dress like an harlot and people will take you to be one. It is that simple. I am sure she has learnt a very big lessons. And I am sure hundreds of girls will have learn a lesson.

No. Mba. Oti o. She is from Dutse in Jigawa state. Her daddy and my mother na siblings. In fact, she spent the weekend with us in Dutse Seriusly speaking, there are some lessons I want us to take from here First, we need to appreciate our culture and language. I see very many Yoruba teenagers trying so hard to anglicise. You see Olamide turned to Horlamidey or some horrible things. Why don't you be proudly Yoruba and say Olamide. Another things I notice is people having 'hatred' for beautiful yoruba name. If you are not Peter, you are Praise or some other foregn names. Very many Yoruba families don't give authentic original names to their children. The same thing happens to our Muslim brethren. If you are not Abdullai, you are Mustapha or some other names. Names are not passport to heaven. And lastly, the tribalism in Nairaland is appaling. A yoruba guy will not see anything good in an Ibo person. Hausa will prefer to bond with a foreigner than with their Nigerian folks. This is telling on this particular thread and in others. That song was critisised and demeaned mostly by other tribes. I am sure if the song was in Ibo (I mean the "Asiko Ope, Janet Ti De", other tribes would be kicking. What is good is good. I don't think this is good enough. Daddy Yankee is not a Yoruba guy. Listen to it and they sang it fluently. That is the amazing thing. The terrible thing is that we don't seem to appreciate what is ours. This colonial mentality should be done away with. Cheers |

| Foreign Affairs › Not Too Young To Run: 14 Year Old Boy Running For Gov (in US) by mallamdutse(op): 9:51pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — One of the four Vermont Democrats seeking the party nomination to run for governor in the fall election isn't old enough to vote, let alone drive. Ethan Sonneborn, 14, of Bristol, met the requirements to be on the primary ballot and is taking his place with the state's more age-appropriate candidates on the Tuesday primary ballot, to say nothing of numerous candidate forums and debates. "I think Vermonters should take me seriously because I have practical progressive ideas, and I happen to be 14, not the other way around," Sonneborn said in a recent televised gubernatorial forum. "I think that my message and my platform transcend age." The Vermont Constitution doesn't have an age requirement for people seeking the state's highest office beyond having lived in the state for four years before the election. Sonneborn qualifies. That apparent oversight by the state's founders more than 225 years ago was enough to encourage the politically precocious teen to collect the signatures needed to place him on the primary ballot. He said he's always been fascinated with the concept of building coalitions. Robert F. Kennedy was the politician who most embodies that for him. Sonneborn said his decision to run grew out of his frustration with state and national politics. The teen learned he could, and then decided to do so as a gut reaction to clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia, one year ago. His July finance report shows Ethan has raised just over $1,700, not enough to make him competitive in a world where the successful candidates will undoubtedly have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more, for ads, mailings, staff and other miscellaneous political expenses before the November general election. Even if he doesn't have much money, Ethan has been on the stage with Vermont's other Democratic candidates. It might be a stretch, though, to call the other candidates traditional politicians. Former utility executive Christine Hallquist says her experience and ideas make her the best choice as Vermont's next governor, but outside Vermont she's pitching herself as someone who would, if elected, become the nation's first transgender governor. There is also James Ehlers, an environmentalist, Brenda Siegel, a dance festival organizer. Last January, two Vermont lawmakers introduced a bill that would require candidates to be registered voters. The proposal went nowhere. At a recent news conference, Republican Gov. Phil Scott said he thought lawmakers should take a look at who should be able to run for the state's highest office. "I think you should at least be able to get your driver's license at the time that you become governor," said Scott, who is seeking re-election and is facing businessman Keith Stern in the Republican primary. Sonneborn thinks he'll do better in the primary than people are expecting. And he measures his campaign's success another way, too. "I think if I can get one person who wasn't involved in the political process before involved now, then my campaign will have been a success," he said.
