cramjones: Whilst the White house make frantic efforts to curb the Ebola outbreak, Africans are waiting for white masters to rescue them. When will Nigeria and other countries become a country and stop begging? When would President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan take responsibility for the country he leads? When will the lies about Boko Haram stop? When will we ever be a continent? What is the use of the African Union, when they can't even build their headquarters. Africa is screwed and doomed!

-CramJones

should Africa recover today, many countries will go broke

Chaleeee: Your ignorance defies all limits. Who forced them to volunteer The doctors that almost died in Liberia volunteered and we're not paid a dime for risking their lives.

If you are getting paid for a service rendered, that does not count as volunteering.
Get hold of a dictionary or go read a copy of "English For Dummies"
Foolsmond.

My friend, volunteer in Nigeria means risking ones life for money....(money ritual). Nothing concern oyibo dictionary with nigeria dictionary.

tuoyoojo: From recent history keshi does well under pressure and has a good "coming from behind" tendency

But my question is "why this fire brigade approach" evritime?

Na watin I dey ask my self since ooo. Any day keshi loses match critics will come out from every hole. Just like Bokinafaso last yr, these congolese may play the Afcon final. They are playing like Athletico madrid

Make I just add this one ...if she is no longer missing you just forget about her. My advice to every young person is to avoid women and love. Focus on your carrier, save enough money and marry a working class lady.

Ekundayo7: You really need to find a good doctor or clinic who can show you WHICH form of parasite you have in the blood and that shouldn't be too hard. If it is p vivax or p.ovale they can go into a "dormant" liver stage and then reenter the blood at any time IF you have not been treated properly, causing symptoms again. Primaquine is usually indicated but since naija mosquitos are on steroids you really need to find a competent doctor to help you. I have had malaria so many times is why I am trying to help you, and I had to figure it our for myself in the end as doctors were not treating it properly unfortunately. I put together a few paragraphs here that might help you. MAIN THING is make sure you are not simply being reinfected from being bitten. Are you sleeping with a mosquito net? (which is necessary). Long pants if out at night or avoiding areas with infestations? If you are not being bitten and sleeping under net than I suspect you have an old vivax or ovale infection that was simply not treated for long enough or with the right drugs. If you are in Lagos Agboju side there is a good clinic there, let me know if you are close that side and I will try and get the address for you.

Malaria would have been a simple problem if not for its habit of recurring again and again and again. I have seen patients who have had malarial attacks 35-40 times in 3-4 years period. It is this problem which also keeps the disease alive in a community and makes its control quite difficult.

Why does malaria recur?

Following are the reasons for recurrence of malarial attacks:

1. Absence of effective immune response: Immune response against malarial infection is very poor and it does not protect against re-infections. Acquired immunity develops after several attacks of malaria over several years. This immunity is stage specific, species specific and 'strain' specific. It does not have any sterilizing effect on the parasitemia and immune adults are still re-infected. However, the clinical signs and symptoms are reduced with development of clinical immunity.

Various explanations have been offered for these observations. Generalised immunosuppression by the parasite; presence of T-cell independent antigens which fail to induce immune response; inhibition of B-cell proliferation; and extreme polymorphism or clonal variation of immunologically relevant antigens could be the causes for the poor immune response in malaria.

2. Exposure to repeated mosquito bites and re-infection: The commonest cause for recurrence of malaria is re-infection. The patient is exposed to fresh mosquito bites soon after completing the anti malarial treatment. On the one hand he has no immunity from the past infection and on the other, the antimalarials do not prevent establishment of the fresh infection. Therefore, unless the patient observes stringent anti mosquito measures, re-infection is inevitable in an endemic area.

3. Incomplete treatment: All blood schizonticidal drugs suppress the erythrocytic schizogony and give symptomatic relief. The patient may stop the drugs due to various reasons like vomiting, ignorance and financial constraints. This results in recrudescence within a short period. Also, if the patient does not take the complete course of primaquine, relapses can occur from re-activation of hypnozoites in the liver.

Proper patient education regarding the complete course of anti malarials is very important.

4. Relapse: In cases of P. vivax and P. ovale infections, recurrent attacks could be due to re-activation of hypnozoites in the liver. This can occur any time after 30-180 days of the primary attack. The relapses have the characteristic symptoms of malaria. Splenomegaly may be a prominent feature in these patients.

Such long-term relapses commonly occur in patients who have either not taken primaquine or taken incomplete treatment.

5. Recrudescence: In P. falciparum and P. malariae infections, the parasites can remain in the blood for months or even years and cause recurrent symptoms from time to time. In falciparum malaria, such recrudescence can occur within 28 days of the primary attack and may indicate partial resistance to chloroquine. However, treating every case of recurrent P. falciparum as resistant malaria is unjustified. One should consider the possibility of re-infection in most of these cases. Orht et al have studied the recrudescent isolates by PCR genotyping and have concluded that PCR genotyping could be a practical method of distinguishing recrudescence from re-infection.

It is a common observation that in a household, only some members get recurrent attacks of malaria while the others escape the infection. In such cases, it is important to find the cause for this phenomenon. The person may be getting bitten by the mosquitoes elsewhere, may be at his/her workplace. The resting and sleeping habits of such individual may be facilitating mosquito bites. Or else, any of the causes listed above may also be playing a role.

Malaria parasite and typhoid bacteria interfere with the liver and its functions. The invasion of the liver cells by malaria parasite and typhoid bacterium can cause organ congestion, sinusoidal blockage and cellular inflammation (Jarike et al., 2002; Petit and Wamola, 1994). When these happen, the parenchyma transaminases and membranous alkaline phosphatase and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase enzymes of the liver leak out and find their way into the circulation, leading to increased enzyme activity (Burtis et al., 2001). The . Untreated malaria and typhoid fever can lead to damage of the liver.

I am tired of doctors protocols, are u suggesting I try Primaquine? Again, I add weight whenever i am down with the malaria I guess it's a kind of liver inflamation right?

But welcome 2 d indomie generation where kids think of nothing but 2go nd sex.

I dey tell you ...this Indomie generation i dey pity them ooo...na only boy friend girl friend dem know.

Ceasar1: Na Caboni be that now.

hahaha....you catch am...Caboni..if you stay at the edge of that 18 play shot...na goal str8. I use am show guys peppe. Chaii...childhood sweet ohhh. No be today wey every minute man dey think on how to make money..na wao.

I can't ever forget ‘Dshoot’ or ‘LawnBall’ from the soccer - commentary.

I played Sega megadrive 2 die...na me be champion for my area na. For MK3 i dey use Rain and Scopion. For soccer i dey use Italy...that guy wey dey tie bandage for head, him shot too much.

Ekundayo7: You did not see a doctor, you saw a quack. Malaria does not just "go away" with no treatment. If you are bitten by the P. falciparum mosquito you can face death. The P.ovale P.vivax are not as capable of causing death but it is not smart to be hosting malaria parasites in your liver and blood for any period of time. Did he even tell you which species of parasites are multiplying in your blood Go buy some Arthemeter and lumefantrine for falciparum infestation and don't fool around. Parasites can get a good foothold in your liver and cause recurring fevers. Go to a reliable clinic for a proper blood test and identify the mosquito then get the proper medicine. Take iron tablets and b vitamins to fortify your blood. Malaria will debilitate you over time.

You are talking sense, abeg how malaria dey take get foothold on the liver and how I go know which mosquito. Because, my own malaria too much...na every three wks e dey show for the past decade. The worst is that all those big malaria medicines no dey work for my body. Na only chloroquine and amalar dey work.

They are displaying superiority in order to feel better, everybody does it anyways.

rahymat: If a guy doesnt propose to u in four years tym u beta leave him because its difficult to bear a child if ure more than 30years old.

How can a reasonable girl date a guy more than two years without any future plan from the guy. I think the girl was getting more from the relationship hence, why she waited for so long.

[quote author=franzis]I’d feel like I just wasted four years of my life if this is not heading anywhere

Girl: So…
Guy: So…
Girl: I need for us to have this conversation
Guy: What conversation?
Girl: We’ve been together for four years
Guy: Yea?
Girl: And I need to know where this is heading to
Guy: Oh boy!
Girl: Listen baby, it is only fair to define this. Four years of my life is a lot to ask for
Guy: What do you mean?
Girl: I’d feel like I just wasted four years of my life if this is not heading anywhere
Guy: Babe, it’s a relationship… not a death sentence.
Girl: You don’t get it, do you?
Guy: Make me get it
Girl: It is time to define US. Where are we heading to?
Guy: We…we are in a relationship. It’s a destination. Isn’t that enough?
Girl: So where is the next bus-stop?
Guy: Every day we stop and pick up new ways of loving each other…that’s how it works.
Girl: So when do we get to the bus-stop where you propose to me? Or aren’t we going to get engaged?
Guy: …
Girl: Baby, say something!
Guy: I earn N120k… I am not ready for marriage.
Girl: I didn’t say marriage, I said engagement.
Guy: What’s the difference? One is supposed to lead to the other, right?
Girl: Baby, I have to wear an engagement ring just for the satisfaction of knowing that this is leading somewhere
Guy: For how long? Another four years? So you can finally brand me a monster for tying you down for eight years?
Girl: Do you plan to tie me down for that long?
Guy: I don’t know, babe. I just know that I’ve seen too many f%&ked up situations and I am in no hurry to get engaged or married or any of that.
Girl: So are we f%&ked up?
Guy: No…but…look at Francis and his wife…they quarrel like drunk cats! Guy earns barely above what I earn and he already has two kids. The minute you get married the kids start popping out like popcorn. It’s shitty. It doesn’t interest me at all.
Girl: Wait, let me understand what you are saying… Are you saying marriage is shitty, and you have no interest in having kids?
Guy: No, not right now. I’m not interested. I can’t afford that lifestyle on my salary.
Girl: Then dream bigger, aim higher…’cos I’m tired of waiting!
Guy: Then don’t wait. You don’t have shackles on your feet.
Girl: WHAT?!
Guy: Babe, see…I love you, but I’m not going to promise what I can’t afford to give. If you can understand that then we can continue loving each other, if not then it’s fine. I understand.
Girl: I can’t believe you!
Guy: Wh…what do you want me to do?
Girl: The right thing!
Guy: But this is the right thing. I’m not going to lie to you nah!
Girl: So four years just go by like that and I’m supposed to just walk away?
Guy: Don’t walk. Stay with me.
Girl: Until when?
Guy: Until…what do you mean, “until when?” Isn’t this a relationship?
Girl: That is heading nowhere!
Guy: Ok…ok! So it seems we have very different views about this, ‘cos if you ask me I’ll tell you that this is fulfilling in itself, and it is enough for me- just having you in my life and sharing it together.
Girl: I will never forgive you if you don’t do the right thing. And God will judge you.
Guy: Oh boy! What are you on about?
Girl: If you think you can just use me and dump me…
Guy: Use you?! How? We are dating! How is that “using” in anyway?
Girl: And I’m supposed to just stay in a relationship that has no plans to evolve?
Guy: I thought we were evolving just fine. Loving, sharing, learning…
Girl: This is bullshit! And karma will get you for this!
Guy: Babe, I didn’t f%&k you without your permission. Everything we did, we did because we wanted to. And if we break up now, it will be because we stopped wanting the same things. Our needs changed. Mine is still straight, but you want other things I can’t give; so how does that make me a bad guy?
Girl: Is this a plan to marry someone else? Piss me off and then go get a new chick, abi?
Guy: You are not listening…you never listen. I am presenting to you a simple case: I do not have the money to buy you an engagement ring…I don’t have money to pay LindaIkeji to cover our “surprise engagement” that we’d have at The Galleria, with your palm over your mouth feigning surprise and acting like you didn’t tie my balls to do it. I do not have money to entertain your friends and family…and I, sure as hell, do not have the money to plan a wedding, or move you into my small apartment. And I will not have kids popping out from every hole in your body just so I can tick all of society’s boxes. I don’t have the money…and guess what, I don’t have any interest in doing all of that.
Girl: So why did you date me?
Guy: Gosh! Are you serious?!
Girl: Answer me, damn it!
Guy: I dated you because we liked each other! Heck, you showed as much interest as I did… you attacked me like a tigress on our first night. I didn’t force you to cook, clean…you did it willingly just as much as I did all I did freely. Why are you now making it seem like we had an agreement four years ago that I am reluctant to fulfil?
Girl: I am a woman, and you let my biological clock tick away like that!
Guy: Aaaaargh! What do you want from me?
Girl: Ok…what if I settle everything? I work too and I can buy the engagement ring for myself and pay for a photographer to capture the moment. It will be on a yacht not at The Galleria…I’ll pay BellaNaija to put it up. All you need to do is slip it into my finger. For the wedding, I’ve been saving for four years. I have enough to cover my dress, the cake, the hall, the food, MC and photographer… you can take care of your suit and the Deejay.
Guy: Wow! What can I say? Are you sure you are not on some cheap meds?
Girl: Excuse me?!

Girl: Really?!
Guy: Yes, really.
Girl: You evil man! I stayed with you, nursed you when you were ill…bought you the best gifts four years in a roll for your birthday…sucked you, kissed you, loved you like you were the last man on earth…
Guy: I sucked you too; ate you well like you were the sweetest cake in the store; bought you nice gifts; travelled with you; heard you cry, laugh… helped you get better at your job…supported you when you feared you had breast cancer. I did what a boyfriend should do. So what’s your point?
Girl: Shut up! You devil!
Guy: *sighs* Babe, I can’t give you what you want. I’m just not ready for it. I’m sorry.
Girl: I gave you the best years of my life.
Guy: And I gave you the best of what I could afford. Cut the pity party, abeg. You are the one asking for more, you are the one who’s unfair. So why blame me? You are the one ending the relationship; I’m just trying to be sincere.
Girl: God will shame you! I will get married before the end of this year.
Guy: Oho! So you’ve been cheating on me?
Girl: I never cheated, but God sees my heart and He will give me my heart desire and shame my enemies.
Guy: So you’ll be getting married to a stranger then?
Girl: Love happens in mysterious ways!
Guy: Good. Send me an invite.

You are lucky the girl does not have bad friends, she would have poisoned you. Fear a woman who is so much in love.

It's either too much weed, alcohol or any other drug. Just reduce the intake otherwise, it's excess mast*bation.

The OP is a wuss...try grow up quick time no dey.

Dygeasy: I just sat back now and asked myself, Would I have done this if I were the man? Could I have done the same?

I'm still sitting back and I haven't been able to answer the question.

About the first man I'd be acknowledging a fellow man as amazing.

Dennis is amazing. I respect him.

I also asked myself the same question...this is what I call love. Some fake girls/boys will keep telling you they love you because, they are getting something from you until the test of time comes. I respect the guy and his faith eventually saved him.

jennylove7575: I don't like it. It ain't cool. I would prefer a guy to punch the calculator on his phone instead, without being noticed...but its kind of embarrassing though. Using a calculator will make the guy look poor and struggling financially.. It will make me feel guilty that I am over stretching the guys pocket. And the food no go digest. Therefore, put me off in the relationship. I don't like petty, forced, manage manage spending and broke guy. Bringing out a calculator would seem so..let it be the duty of the attendant to punch the figures on their calculator..

babe...you are correct. I used the word calculator because, it's the list. I actually meant questioning the barman.

firstEVA: if you have a good reason to believe you are about to be short changed, why not.

p.s If its a first date I advise you let it go or calculate in your head, it doesn't look right punching a calculator

You made a whole lot of sense...

Yungwizzzy: poverty na bastard

..lol...yea..poverty is not a good thing...but a calculator could be a Z10 or a galaxy or an IP5s. If I should rephrase, I would say..when you become skeptical about the bill.

Now, we came to the bar and ate the beautiful nonsense. The barman wants to play smart and you decided to use the calculator. Sometimes, I look at the girls face and I see "what is that". Do you girls like it when you use the calculator or ...? I ask because, I will do it with my wife as well. Note...I am not stingy, but I know what I am talking about.

irishCream: u kidding me making jest of my moniker and signature abi...issorai

please, what is issorai? I want to be more brilliant.

irishCream: brilliant student! Remind me that ur course of study again

I studied Irish chemistry, the study of male virgins.

The pot loses heat to the ground the same way tiles do. I drank from it anyways and the water is always cold.

bigx: Bad Belle Post


See it this way, when everyone veers into music (and most fail), it would create a scarcity of professionals and the demand for doctors and the rest would increase with the attendant reduced supply (check the humongous failure rate in waec). The current poor salaries they are earning is a result of everybody wanting to be a doctor, lawyer or engineer because of perceived high salaries (at least when I went through school)

This is also correct as much as the OP. One guy has said the world is held in equilibrum and actually regulates itself. All these HIV/Ebola/cancer of a stuff are just here to stabilize economy. If you watch NatGeoWild, you will see how population is been regulated by brutality and fatality, we can't call God wicked on that because, he knows exactly why he created the preys and the predators. You made a very big point here..demand and supply holds economy.

Back to the topic...I have said it before that in order to have our children back to school, we have to include the subject/course called "how to make money" and you will see how serious an average Niger student can be.
