Poster,

That's why i don't go to all these mushroom churches. I go to old school Oyinbo church.
There no body tells me the FALSE story of tithes. Tithe is a way of filling their pockets. About 3 years ago, one Nigerian pastor exposed the falsehood of tithes on Nigeriaworld. I think his name is Pator Awodele.

Naija is the only place full of intelligent people but deliberately decide to follow superstition.

Christianity is a wonderful religion. But it has been hijacked by greedy people.
Maybe you are just waking up and smelling the coffee. I hope there will be a new awakening and people rising from their slumber and realise how they are being misled, held hostage and milked.

igbo boy:
only 3? Ah ah your toto wey don lose elasticity go fit handle octuplet nau 

So all the physics you did at school na only "toto elasticity" you remember. Your teacher needs to be sacked with immediate alacrity.

Most Dads wouold be reasonably happy with a 2.2 BUT perhaps his dad feels that he underutilised his potential.

If you are a dullard, your dad would he happy with a 2.2.  If you were a 1st class material having been through good schools and lots of family support, then parents might be disappointed.

But what he lacks in top grade, he can make up for with hard work and hussler spirit. Grade is not everything.
2 of England's richest men: Green and Bronson only had a GCSE, comparable to NECO or GCE o'level.

I narrowly missed a 1st class perhaps because of having to work to support myself (I no be one of  those ajebutta they send come study abroad), so as a mature student with responsibilities and no restriction on how many hours I could do, I worked like mad.

Lots of guys who had a 2.2 found jobs with Foreign & Commonwealth Office, MoD, DoH. The good old days in London.

wetin before? people just quote bible verses to suit themselves.

good stuff

freepeople:
I was thought that some anatomical malformations can predispose an individual to recurrent urinary tract infections(UTI). What my lecturers failed to teach me is that frequent sexual intercourse reduces the chances of UTI(in fact, it actually enhances it). I'm at lost here. No doctor who's worth his onion will give you such an advice. You have to do more to convince me that you are not making up stories. The logic seems absurd, medically. You guys should not attribute the cock and bull stories of yours to people in the noble profession. Be aware that learned people visits NL. Therefore do not turn this elite forum into an avenue to spew out bullshits or misinform people.

True @freepeople. Intercourse rather predisposes to UTI. But her problem may not be due to UTI. She might have had endometritis, salpingitis etc.  Not that I know of any literature claiming that marital intercourse is a cure for any of those either. .  BUT the doctor might have been cheeky and not really believe the virginity story (rightly or wrongly) BUT thinks that marriage/commitment might limit the number of intercourse partners. Fact is the more the bedpartners the more the risk of PID.
You never know what he was thinking.
Like I said in previous post, he might have given a simplistic but not very scientific explanation. Not all doctors can communicate effectively with non-medics. Hence the focus on doctor-patient communication in UK med schools these days.

While such infection, pelvic inflamatory disease (PID) is mostly due to STDs, some people can be unlucky and the cause is idiopathic: unknown cause. The vagina for example is bursting with lactobaccili and totally normal. But for whhatever reasons, they can move up into cervix, womb, the tubes and even beyond. Now those areas are used to being sterile and invasion by bacteria that are totally at home in vagina can cause infections there.

We all witness thunderstorms frequently but sometimes some unlucky random  person is killed by thunderstrike. Also happens in PID.

First seek an O&G doctor if the previous one was not. Seek second opinion.
Poster may not have explained the matter properly. Also some Naija doctors can be patronising and give a very simplistic explanation.
Repeated PID can lead to infertility. Since you're more likely to have another PID if you've had one before, the doctor might just have meant marry soon and start your family soon (knowing the virginity story)as the lady could  have her fertility decline faster with age  more than those who never had PID. Doctors have some experience in practice which books may not mention. There are also some drugs doctors use in exceptional cases that are not officially registered for that particular  illness BUT it is known to work often by unknown pharmacological mechanism.

WHILE WE TALK OF MIRACLES as Africans always we tend to forget that the fact that many diseases that were incurable and untreatable/uncontrolable 50 years ago now have medication/therapy is ALREADY a miracle.
THE attitude of waiting for manna to fall from heaven as miracle baffles me.
An excuse to escape reality and abdicate our responsibilities??

NLers,

This is a very serious matter. Their presence in the streets is the result of our failure as a society.
People with "mental health issues" would be a good start in the first place. There should be no vagrants all about town if we were serious.
Mental health doctors and nurses, we need your contribution here.

In psychotic diseases, one of the symptoms can be disinhibition: that is loss of control over certain behaviours. Loss of certain social etiquette: a person without mental health problem would not be talking to himself all day and laughing alone all day or going unclothed on the street.
They see such behaviour as normality. They exhibit first rank symptoms such as hallucination, thought control (someone's stealing ideas from his brain, people have put a device in his house and his thoughts are been broadcast on TV, people are after his life, ) passivity symptoms(people are controlling his body, he's getting instructions directly from Gaddaffi or Obama or the Queen -and may kill believing he was ordered to do so by Gaddafi), delusions (he's Jesus or Hitler etc). Although delusion is not necessarily first rank symptom.

Yaba, Aro, Uselu and I think 3 other psych hospitals serve 160m people in Naija, ridiculous. I know UK naija med students who would have liked to specialise in psych but what prospect back home. Pay in Uk is not bad at all. So Naija again is losing it's brightest to the West.

Mental health issues are very common. I was amazed how common it is among Africans in UK. It made it obvious to me just the scale of the problem back in Naija and how many are not been treated.
In my 3-month attachment at a fomous London psych hospital I noticed the high rate of the problem from countries that were in civil war within the past 20 years.
Considering the population of Naijas in Uk, they are well-represented there too. But many are treated early enough and some can even return to work. Trouble is we stigmatise it some much in our culture that many deny it and only present late even in UK. Some even have to be sectioned.
Today being an immigrantsocial drift, descrimination) is now considered as one of many risk factors.

You wonder if some terrorists are not in that group believing God has chosen them to kill infidels and all what not.

Good stuff

In a world full of lies and deceit, people are just desperate to believe in something.
So we deliberately switch off any sense of rationale.

Life would otherwise be too brutal, wouldn't it?

That mostly only Nigerians speak in tongues is beyond me. But then again we probably have more fake medicine, fake nollywood films, fake shnapps, fake currency etc in circulation than anywhere else, so why should we not have abundant religious fakes as well?

h

Brain pulse,

which kind communion? Let people stop deceiving themselves.

People like Alams, Ibori and OBJ will also be speaking in tongues, chei. Naija people don suffer.

In Naija we just like to bastardise everything.
In reality in Naija today, I doubt if you can have more than 100 who can really speak in tongues. Certainly not those money-worshiping pastors, General overseer, president-general and all what not.

They should instead speak in jet-language.

why is it that they all always say:

holamama  sabbarakata, or something similar. If they truly speak in tongue, then it should be different tongues.

It is all imitation. I like their preaching but their spectacle just put me off.

In those days at school, I stopped going to scripture union when the most useless boys at school started speaking in tongues.

One of them who spoke in tongue the most, took my answer sheet during WASC practical exam to copy when I turned away for a minute to set up an experiment. They could easily have cancelled both our papers if invigilators had seen it before I grabbed the paper from him in anger.
Of course he failed physics when results came out. Clowns.

What a funny question. As if you don't already know the answer.

When will our senators start working in the interest of Nigerians like US senators?
When will they get rid of harlots that flood the National Assembly?

When will government start providing light, water and good roads like American government?

Almost everything we have in our system is just substandard compared to US and Nollywood is just one part of a mediocre existence that we have become used to.

Even potentially brilliant people in all walks of life end up in mediocity.
Sad.

@ Poster:

It depends on both of you. if that's what you want go ahead.

The only caveat is that if you are mature enough yourself. A woman of 34 would have the maturity of a 40 year old man roughly.
If she's not divorced or widowed or have children already, maybe you can convince your favourite auntie to work on your family members .

Your family will hardly accept a divorced/widowed lady with 4 kids in tow as the new bride of their sweet little Johnny.


In reality an older woman should be marrying a younger guy cos woen live longer. You see so many widows compared to widowers (ok polygamy plays some role). I mean if a man dies at 75 and the woman at 84,  then none will have to be a lonely widow/widower for too long.

You don't go into medicine thinking about money. It is called one of the great professions historically in the Uk along with law and theology.
Because of the dedication they demand.
Hence all these professions are accorded extra-ordinary privileges like hearing a confession (a man catching gonorrhoea after cheating, telling ur vicar you were once a highway robber or telling your lawyer you actually killed someone on purpose but you want to plead insanity) and are allowed to keep them confidential.
Sure you wonder sometimes when you go to naija and see a bunch of rude medics. Disgusting. Sha there are rude medics everywhere but many naija ones take the biscuit

You must be totally dedicated to helping those suffering. Your remuneration is only an appreciation for that dedication to do no harm, help the sick/poorly and save lives.

BABE!:
That's what I'm trying to eradicate; the weird ratio of male Gynes to female Gynes. There are too many male Gynes out there, which is quite absurd.

Most women prefer male gynes? Statistics abeg! The reason why they "prefer" male Gynes is because they have no choice--lol--- 

I'm not reconsidering. Thanks for the discouraging speech. I'm "working" for a Gynecologist presently as an "internship", it's not bad atall. I love it! 

Btw, who told you I was weak.?   

Babe my sister, dat na story that women prefer male gynaes. In SE London with a very diverse population, bimanuel exams for male students na reggae sometimes. Lots of ladies on cultural/religious grounds don't consent to it. Doing EUA wasn't easy. Many women grudgingly accept it.
I read in BMJ some years back that male gynae trainees have the highest level of complaints in the UK. Precisely due to reluctance on the part of women.

@ Aboly80,

Pliz also send me a copy of the survey to:

tommdude2005@yahoo.com

@beknown: I also live in Jand and I wonder why we cannot jointly research the land. Another NLer mini-estate?

I think we just individually search for land from abroad and it's not easy. I have been looking for a moderately priced land around Ikorodu and each time it's either on agric land needing costly regularisation OR the structure on the land is derilict quite different to what the agent said is a nice convertible number of rooms.
If people/friends keep helping you check out properties at home that always turn out to have a "coma", soon they will be fed up.
It's difficult.

As long as you are eating the type fermented with palm oil, nothing do you.

If it is the white type, it may still have some hydrocyanic acid (HCN) in it. Suspected to affect the optic nerve of the eye.

In fact HCN has been used to produce poison known to affect humans and rats.

Cassava probably has one of the highest amounts of HCN found in nature and very low levels found in some seeds of fruits like apple.
One reason not to chew the seeds of some fruits when eating them.

It depends:

Are you a man or woman and how old are you?
Any pain in your private part when you wee and any discharge or STI?
Do you have to go urgently? There is obviously frequency.
Is it waking you up at night?
Producing large amounts of urine?
Do you have dribbling of urine?
Do you drink a lot? Do you drink beer a lot? Do you drink lots of coffee and tea?
Have you lost weight as well? Any fever?
Are you using water tablets (anti-diuretics) say for hypertension?
Are you obese? Any autoimmune diseases?
Any history of diabetes in any close family member: biological dad/mum/sibling/---------------aunt/uncle?
Any history of low blood sodium due to: head injury/meningitis/ brain infection, CVA, lung cancer etc?
In any case seeing your doc is a good move.
You want to rule out diabetes, kindney disease, SIADH and prostatic benign hypertrophy or worse if you are a man.

What titles are available for the Ijede (Ikorodu) area plots in the range of 750k?

Thanks.

What titles are available on the lands around Ijede in the range of 750k.

Any discount on off-payment?

I think 15 years residency is very long.

You don't have to wait that long in most western countries if you have been legal from day 1.

Moreover, I see no reason why FEC has to approve it. The ministry of interior ought to be enough. Too much centralisation.
But then again corruption too much.

So we don't have enough armed robbers yet?

Why not let people serve within their geopolitical region if they cannot scrap the service?

If somebody from Sokoto is hacked to death in Zamfara, then such is life.

IfeLuv,

You sef you brave and I hope not foolish!

Your man is going to Naija (that place full of easily accessible hot chicks) and leaving you with belle in Jand and not as much as a ring. I know you "trust" your man. Haba.
All this wait wait for summer wedding. Must it be a massive wedding in this recession? I thought I had decent savings before starting a family. Save the money for when you have children. Believe me it is expensive.

What will even be your legal position in the relationship when he relocates?
What if he changes his mind by next summer?  Not saying that a man cannot mess up because of marriage but he's more legally restricted as a married man.
I think the crowd-following thing is having to save till next year for marriage.
The minimum you can do is registry marriage. Please don't call it court marriage when discussing it with him. It can remind him of the saying "see you in court".
I am sure you can get a couple of NLers to be witnesses for free

@Poster,

I guess everything is much more complicated than meets the eye.

Since we cannot hear his version of the story, can you answer a few questions:
(1) did you actually date for a long time and got to know each other well before marriage?
(2) What character do you have that might really be annoying him?
(3) What kind of woman was he looking for before marrying you and do you meet that standard or does he feel duped?
(4)Did you marry him for love or as a meal ticket?
(5) Why would he just suddenly feel that you are basically a mistake in his London life? Is he suggesting that he should have made you a wife living in Naija? Is that an option for you? Would you happier staying in Naija?
(6) Do you try to play any positive role in his life like finding out how his day was at work or is nagging the only way he can get you to listen to his problems/worries?
(7) Have you let your family know the situation?
( Is there any of his family members you are close to?

Living abroad is difficult. You will have seen how much he has to work and the number of bills to pay.
As for work, that should not be the issue as he knows that some time will pass before papers are processed.
Even then the economy is not great now and work is not guaranteed. A man who decided to marry should be able to feed two mouths without complaining.  I think  there are some underlying problems that both of you have not been sincere enough to discuss.
As for accent, he knew that before marrying you. He can buy you cds to practice pronounciation. He should have married a British woman.

Don't let people convince you that you can kill and claim self defense.  Good luck.

Hi Poster,

Can you post a picture of the estate as it is now? Those facilities you mentioned are they the proposed ones or already being done or in the process?
Thanks.

@ Anita,

Naija men don't really have time to bash in real life. They are too busy hustling. Naija boys by nature are not idle people.  Many actually see this as pastime/joke. Others are just copycats, just copying Ezeuche and Zstranger and co, LOL.
Most are way just too polite to say these things in real life and often don't mean them. Some shy people probably use this medium to let of steam.

In my case, my advise for ladies here is exactly what I used to give my female friends in real life (regarding choice of men) for example.
Women bash men about being irresponsible and often tell them to chose carefully and not base their choice on vanity.
