Agriculture / Re: Please Help! My Chicks Legs Are Getting Bent Day By Day!! by NiCurious: 6:48pm On Jul 20, 2020 |
I haven't experienced this with my flock, but it resembles either Slipped Tendon or Twisted Leg. Slipped Tendon is caused by insufficient B vitamins. Feeding appropriately formulated food for the age and breed will prevent more birds from being affected. It will not correct the current problem, but will prevent it from getting worse. If it is Twisted Leg, I don't know what to suggest. My chicken health manual advises against raising them on a wire floor, in any case. 1 Like |
Crime / Re: Countries Where Castration Is A Punishment For Rapists by NiCurious: 6:29pm On Jul 20, 2020 |
Why not work on getting rid of the mentality of men feeling entitled to women's bodies? Is that not at the root of rape? |

Romance / Re: My Girlfriend Took My Phone And Uploaded Her Pictures On My Whatsapp Status by NiCurious: 5:15pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
Invasion of privacy. If I want partner's pics on my status, I will do the posting--after asking if they're okay with having their pics online, and choosing ones they like. Likewise, as I am a private person, I would hope they would ask me if I was okay with them uploading pics of me to their own status. Not about skeletons in the closet. OP may or may not have skeletons, that's a secondary issue. Phones are extensions of ourselves. They have lots of personal and private stuff on them. If someone allows you access to their phone, it's an act of trust (or of naivete). Honour that trust, don't abuse it. Posting your pics on someone else's status is like going to their house while they're away at work, without their knowledge or permission, and repainting their parlour in your favourite colour--which might not be a colour they like. 2 Likes |

Family / Re: I Am Having Issues With My Brother’s Wife And Her Two Sisters by NiCurious: 1:50am On Jul 19, 2020 |
here: Red flag to me is that the elder brother doesn't want OP moving out (while still serving) a little before the original term of service which he now can't settle, yet he feels it is okay to extend the term of service for another five to seven years. By then OP will have spent half his life in service to his brother, without a guarantee of being settled. Even if the elder brother means well, the way the wife seems to control him, there will likely not be anything available with which to settle the OP, should he manage to stay that long--my gut feeling. OP can sleep at least sleep in the shop until the end of the original agreement, and hope that he can be settled. Accept settlement whenever it might arrive. Meantime, save well, plan life, and leave at the appointed time. |

Championxxx: I'm sorry to say, it sounds like your brother is playing you. Bait and switch. If I am proved wrong I will joyfully apologize, but his words and (in)actions so far make me not trust him. Even if he has no ill will toward you, he lacks discipline and planning skills. In five to seven years when you are 28-30, he still won't be able to pay you because he will have his children's school fees to pay; you should wait until you are 35...see how it will go? :/ 3 Likes |
Family / Re: I Am Having Issues With My Brother’s Wife And Her Two Sisters by NiCurious: 5:57pm On Jul 18, 2020 |
Championxxx: Excellent. You know what you want to do, now go do it. Your brother will discover your worth in your absence, and be forced to deal with the useless sisters, himself, when you are not there to make things easy for him. Maybe the marriage will end, maybe not, but your brother will be forced to man up at last, and face his household. Not painting you as an angel, but it was not you who brought home the wife and sisters, so don't feel guilty while he deals with the results of his decision-by-default. Some people have wisely said that peace of mind, even in modest circumstances, is something to be treasured. Someone else said that you don't know your potential until you step out of your comfort zone. I know from experience that these statements are true. You are 23. Time comes to leave father and mother...and brother...and set out to be your own man. 3 Likes |
Health / Re: My Failed Lasik Surgery Experience by NiCurious: 9:47pm On Jul 15, 2020 |
After reading the title of your post, I am relieved to learn that you need only postpone your surgery until your eyes have relaxed back to their natural state. I was worried that something had gone horribly wrong with the surgery, and your eyesight was worse than before! I know several people who have had laser eye surgery, and after their recovery, they said they wished they hadn't waited so long to do it. |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Lagos Trains 450 Entrepreneurs In Coconut ‘Waste To Wealth’ Initiative (Photos) by NiCurious: 4:59pm On Jul 14, 2020 |
Nice initiative to hone skills and creativity. Can the Waste To Wealth initiative also be scaled up and scaled out? Scaling up: chipped coconut shells can be exported in bulk as landscape mulch. Not the highest value item, but doesn't require much effort to produce, and can bring in foreign money for a waste product. Scaling out: Can the Waste To Wealth initiative be expanded to deal with waste plastics? If a use were found for waste plastics, that would reduce rubbish in the streets and creeks, reduce flooding caused by plastic-blocked drainages, and provide employment in collecting, sorting, and re-manufacturing of something that is at the moment just a noxious nuisance. |

Religion / Re: Killing Of A Rare White Owl Sparks Outrage Online. by NiCurious: 6:40pm On Jul 13, 2020 |
Where in the Bible does it say to kill owls? The guy who killed the owl is confused, holding a mishmash of beliefs. Claiming Christian, practising traditional, but he is not a credit to either belief system. |
Family / Re: How A Facebook Comment Crashed Her Marriage by NiCurious: 5:39pm On Jul 13, 2020 |
Two questions. 1. Is the 200k greater or less than the bride price paid? If greater than, then the lady is simply willing to go with the highest bidder. 2. Would the groom cheat on his wife for a million naira? Or maybe even less? |
Autos / Re: Man From Gombe Constructs A Vehicle With Local Materials by NiCurious: 8:03pm On Jul 12, 2020 |
Yes, it needs a few improvements... But come on, this man is doing something constructive, learning, practising, not sitting around smoking weed or betting. I can criticize what he has made, but I cannot reproduce it. |

hush15: I think the Blanks just ran in to do what needed to be done in the situation, and didn't care what colour the kid happened to be. For all the people commenting on "saving a white kid", is it of any interest or relevance to you that the child's father is black? |

Religion / Re: Help! I Always Dream Of Snakes! by NiCurious: 6:01pm On Jul 12, 2020 |
UyaiIncomparabl: I see this about a need to confront your fears, instead of running away from them. Not literal snakes, but challenges you are afraid to meet, opportunities that you don't feel prepared for...go on, man up (or woman up) and tackle what your life is offering you. |
Romance / Re: be good to everybody by NiCurious: 8:34pm On Jul 11, 2020 |
What were you doing in such a club, yourself, just curious? One lie begets another, one secret begets another. You can either keep your mouth shut and keep your peace, or you can give your cousin the facts, and let him make his own decisions. Maybe your cousin is okay with his fiancee lapdancing. Maybe not. Not a good way to start off a marriage, though, hiding the truth from one another. Which would you prefer if you were in your cousin's shoe? |

Romance / Re: Help!! I Need To Gain Weight by NiCurious: 6:09pm On Jul 11, 2020 |
Makavelli25: 42kg only!!! What is your height? Assuming that you have the means to buy food...eat good proteins--meat, fish, eggs, beans--exercise (lift weights, do press-ups, etc.) and build muscle, so that the weight you put on is healthy weight, and will serve you well. Also, eat plenty fruits and vegetables, but avoid beer, bread, indomie, or other empty calories. But, why are you so lean to begin with? I assume that you eat. Is your body not metabolizing the food that you put into it? I suggest buying some Vitamin B12 pills, preferably methylcobalamine, which you take daily, to help your intestines absorb...see if that helps. Your body will excrete the methylcobalamine that it does not need. Best wishes on your weight gain, please post back on your progress in a few months. Don't want to hear that you blew away in a strong wind! 1 Like |
Religion / Re: 26 Church Youths Drown In River Benue, Mourned By Their Families by NiCurious: 5:55pm On Jul 11, 2020 |
So very avoidable. 1. The event was already over, no need to continue travelling. 2. Overloading a boat. 3. No lifejackets worn. Basic watercraft safety: don't overload a boat. Overloading can cause it to capsize. Everyone wear a life jacket, even those who can swim. That way, if the boat does capsize, your head is above water, and you are visible to rescuers. A terrible situation, and utterly needless. |

Religion / Re: Whenever I Am Hurt, And I Cry, Something Bad Must Happen To The Person by NiCurious: 3:51pm On Jul 01, 2020 |
BluntNigerian: I really don't think you're causing these misfortunes to happen to others. By the time they are desperate enough to steal, to lie against you, to assault people in public, no less--they are already in a downward spiral. You are not the only one they are doing thee things to. Police actually do their job sometimes, to catch thieves. Visas are taken from those who don't respect the laws of the issuing country. Businesses fail. I don't know what happened regarding the two daughters that died, but perhaps that would have happened anyhow if you hadn't cursed the man, but you did, you have made a connection. |

Politics / Re: If You Were The President Of Nigeria, How Would You Make Nigeria Better? by NiCurious: 4:56pm On Jun 21, 2020 |
tevinsolt: Words that cheer the heart. Neighbourhood solar power generation, community grids, do not require waiting and waiting for government and big distribution companies to organize themselves. They do require cooperation and contracts among neighbours. But think of the local power independence. Well worth following up on, further! |
