sauer: okay, kenyan lady. stop right there. U got to teach me swahili, right away! oh man, u got to teach me that language!
I see you are a small Maathai yourself. I won't be surprised if you derive your inspiration from her already.
Oh, hmmm. . . .does it appear you are stealing my interests? U must be kidding me! I also love photography. I used to be a critic though, until I saw one of Oshodi's photographs where it appeared as though the building took a picture of itself. Saw this at an exhibition in Lagos. I appreciate photography more as art than as a personal, frivolous facebook undertaking. How about wildlife? Are your pictures restricted to just plants. . . .or trees and shrubs?
Well, I quite agree with you. i think I should begin practicing my swimming a little harder. but you sure won't find me in such ferry incidents sha.
No, am not related to Tom Saywer. Read the book though. . . .and many more of Twain and Dickens. I won't be surprised to learn you are a versatile reader. Read 19th century literature? and not just Ngugi?

Okay, I do hope OP is picking up one or two lessons from on here!

More like 100 or 200 lessons to be picked up by the OP n d rest of us

Well u cud ask how her day went and branch off from there. Make sure she's d one doing most of d talking. @ least, dat way, u r sure u r not boring her to death.

Whew! PIH usually occurs after d 20th week so if u are sure she didn't have hypertension b4 d pregnancy, den dis is occuring unusually early. However, referral to a teaching hospital, though more strenuous, should be a better bet for you as this z a very high - risk pregnancy. I salute ur dedication n love for ur wife n unborn child n I hope it doesn't wane as the journey you must travel is far. All d best. Pls keep us posted.

ZUBY77: There is no way to overcome the fear. You just have to live with it. The next option is to start looking for another guy while at the same time, keep reminding the faraway guy that you are not comfortable with being a thousand miles away from him. Everything will naturally fall in place. Failure to take my advice will lead to your tears at last.

Dats so conceited - so u know it all abi? Smh.
@op, abeg no mind am o. I agree wiv d part of reminding him dat u r not comfy with him being far away but too start looking for sombori else - dats cheating. I remember a quote dat says what long distance does to love is just lyk what wind does to fire - it extinguishes d small ones (eg candle) but fuels d big ones (eg bonfire). Long distance z one of d true tests of love and one dat can't stand it z prolly built on a shaky foundation.

Z nairalist back?

Kamanda: Go to vuclip.com Search for and/or download youtube videos there.

Not anymore bro - now u can only download videos from reddit n some oda yeye sites - very sad

Nice one - I particularly lyk d ending of part II.

amosy007: who the f is taiwo bello? *yawnz*

Dats so not nyc

slimyem: spontaneous!
Brb with reasons!

Nobody seems to av any contrary views to slimyem. I fink I prefer spontaneous too cos for old friends, der myt not be so 'much' to know in the other person n either person can more easily get bored.

Which is sweeter? A spontaneous courtship or one that has sprung from friendship? Give your view with reasons.

Most def GTB. I avnt tried d oda banks yet tho. GTB dollar visacard z d bomb.

wet dreams occur as a result of coming of age (puberty) - it is more frequent in adolescents but can occur at any age.
Lyk d name suggests - its usually a dream, u get aroused n u e/jaculate. Seen in almost all males b4 d age of 25.

Yes ofcourse.
It means you are carrying a baby boy - in ur mind tho; not in your uterus

@deols n @maclatunji
I've been noticing ur bickerings since I started visiting d Islam for muslims section especially d 'single muslims - let's meet here thread' and was dismayed at how dat thread eventually turned out.

I'm not gonna point accusing fingers at anybody but I really do hope it stops @ dis. This section should be a model for others on NL.

ladies can come here and say whatever dey wanna say. As men (some of us players, some not), we know what women do. Not only will 'most' of them gladly marry a reformed player, dey 'll even beg to marry an active player.

Nigerians are not smiling anymore o

Try read d book 'he's just not that into you'

Mine was too clingy - always nagging when u don't call or sumfin; she didn't undastand what it meant to be busy @ work; even when u call from work, to end call na wahala. I cudnt cope. Twas sad tho cos I fink I let her parents down. We r still on talking terms sha.

Don't seee anything wrong in it but he should brush after breakfast. If he brushes his teeth b4 brkfast, like we all do, some debris are bound to accumulate there after d meal till next tym he rinses his mouth or sumfin. But if he brushes after d meal, all d debris from b4 n after d meal r taken care of. Don't be too hard on him. U know we men are lyk babies

I know I'll prolly be seen as a pariah for saying dis but it aint necessary to date before marriage (and I'm not saying arranged marriages).

Dating most often is a front, an act, two people putting up a show until they get married. Wonder why some people esp in d west court for several years and when dey eventually get married, they might not last up to 1yr togeda.

I cud go on n on but ...

youngies: MANY a resident had dutifully used them as prescribed by their trusted physicians and wondered why the drugs failed to deliver on promise, as they did not get any better.

This may well be the reason: No fewer than 84.6 per cent of anti-malarial drugs sold in Lagos State are sub-standard, a research carried out by the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Lagos (UNILAG), on 13 brands of Artesunate-amodiaquine combinations, also known as Artemisin Combination Therapy (ACT), bought from pharmacies in the state has shown.

The researchers found that 84.6 per cent of the drugs failed to meet the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) specifications for one of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs).

All the 13 brands of ACT tested have the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) registration numbers.

The situation, experts say, raises the risk of treatment failures and resistant strains of the malaria parasite.

The USP Reference Standards are highly characterised physical specimens used in testing by pharmaceutical and related industries to help ensure the identity, strength, quality, and purity of medicines (drugs, biologics, and excipients), dietary supplements, and food ingredients.

The researchers, in the study published recently in African Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, concluded: "Even though there is no case of outright counterfeiting from the results obtained in the study, the potency of the drugs vary considerably. Only 15.4 per cent of the samples studied had required amount of active ingredients for the two drugs.

"It is clear that the quality of most brands of artesunate amodiaquine combined therapy in circulation in Lagos metropolis is less than adequate. This result can be extrapolated for other cities in the sub-Saharan Africa. This poses a great threat to the global effort to combat the scourge of malaria."

The study is titled: "Quality survey of some brands of artesunate-amodiaquine in Lagos drug market."

However, the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) and the NAFDAC are divided over the result of the study.

The title of the thread is very misleading. It is not that the drugs are fake - the manufacturers of the drugs are not meeting a minimum requirement. It has nothing to do with ibos. They are original drugs but substandard and this research was done only on artesunate - amodiaquine combination; there are other combinations - some even more common than this.

Being in a relationship az its ups n downs - d last rltnshp I was in, I'll call dis girl in d morning before I go to work; I'll call her again in d evening and spend 1 - 2hrs talking n yet she felt we were not spending enuf tym 2geda - very tiring. N when she starts to nag u enh?! But being in a rltnshp also has its advantages. There's a saying that when u are single, all u c are happy couples; when u r in a rltnshp, all u c r happy singles.

The N25000 znt bride price. So that z not d value of d lady; it z just a mutually agreed amount or gift given by the man to the bride as one of the legal requirements for a wedding / nikkah. It is also preferred to be a small amount or gift as the prophet was reported to av said 'the most blessed marriage is one in which the marriage partners place the least burden on each other.' (al-Haythami, Kitab ab-Nikah, 4:255).

@issue no1, I've been told by @least 2 prospective spouses (yh, $#*t happens) dt dey would like to keep dia fathers surnames but I refused as I was ignorant of d injunction u made mention of - I don't av a problme wiv it anymore sha (n it aint cos of d urname issue dat it didn't work on doz occasions )

@issue #3, d only tym I remember my father helping out in d kitchen, my mom was away n he jus came n gave us directives I fink. But then, he works very hard outside d home so u can't really fault him.

@issue #4, d guy can as well marry a 2nd wife for any reason he so wills, but he shd be fair in his dealings wiv both wives. He shd also know dat its gonna be a difficult tym for d 1st wife n should address all her fears n stand by her.

@issue #5, dat goes wivout saying.

maclatunji: ^NYSC, what are your thoughts on Nigerian youths in terms of sexuality after camp? I don't know where people get the orientation from. However, once you land in camp, people seek to turn it into a sex wonderland, married women even hide their rings. It is very disgusting when people turn every corner into copulation spot.

Camp was crazy - so many loose girls n guys. I fink if u can survive 3wks of camp unscathed, u can survive almost any fitnah. But I must tell u, its almost invariable dat ur iman would av somewhat decreased after doz 3wks. Me I didn't c any live action firsthand sha, jus heard stories

One of my greatest aspirations z to live n work in the middle east, a place where culture z built around Islam unlike here where to a large extent, the practice of Islam z built around d culture. I just concluded NYSC camp n one girl I met in the course of dischargin a particular duty on camp walked up to me in mammy market where I was avin dinner n said she was always seeing me alone n dat I wasn't social - I jus played it down. But the truth of d matter z dat I wasn't allowed to be in the cool spots where alcohol was flowing freely n a lot of debauchery was going on. I also wasn't allowed to have a camp girlfriend like so many 'cool' guys on camp. Anytym I felt like going to mammy, I'd go but neccessarily in d company of a friend. In essence, enjoying life as a muslim z a mindset - jus try not to do d haraam stuff.

Hijabis all the way. Don't c how wearing hijab will make it difficult to get married. Most serious muslim men will want their wives to be covered. There z dis lady I'm looking @ dat uses d scarf all d tym but hope to make her use d hijab (out of conviction tho) before any serious stuff goes down. Hijab is compulsory (wajib) on every adult muslimah as evidently stated in d Qur'an.

Masha Allah. May Allah keep him on the right path till he breathes his last and grant him Al-jaNnah firdaus - amin.

I'm presently serving in Osun state. Camp z not as bad as u guys seem to have it in Ebonyi. We have light n water most of the tym. It gets to d soldiers too but overall, dey r nt so bad - I avnt seen anyone roll on the ground, dey don't use rods or whips on us. The camp director z about d nicest person I av ever met. Light out is by ten too but den nobody bothers u as long as u r in ur room. I hear d food z not so nyc - avnt tasted it sha, I'm a mammy major (dat sucks too anyway).
Not so bad afterall

Would you be less trusting of a doctor that checks up or verifies diagnosis or treatment during consultation? Doctors in the house, do you have any problem looking up a diagnoses or medication on your ipad or other device during consultation?

For the overwhelming majority of the knowledgeable scholars, the stricter opinion of the beard being wajib is taken. Habib Ali said that it would be despicable for a student of sacred knowledge to shave his beard as well as for anyone who sincerely wishes to follow the footsteps of our beloved Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam).

Trimming the beard is permissible and the most recommended length is a fist-length. Be careful not to trim you beard to the point where it no longer fits the definition: the hair that *sprouts* (nabit) from the chin.

Finally, (and this is very important), Habib Ali stated that we should remember that the beard in its essence is not a criterion for taqwa. People of other religions have been known to grow very long beards, but that says nothing of their position with Allah. To look at another Muslim and judge his closeness to Allah by the length of his beard (or whether he has one for that matter) would be a grave mistake.
