Right after u boss

dmcdad: A bottle of André for you. You got it 100% bruv. That's me you just described.

Hope say na big bottle?

I should know cos that's me right there

Wait o!

He said all that and you're still wondering? Ok let us know when he does

lynpetra: You are wise.
No mind all this babe's wey go soon get heartbreak. .
Them dey see man wey quiet as weakling??
Na those ones bad pass o .Wetin dem no talk,na him dem fit do.

heheheh as in!

Here's an advice for you OP. Never Ever Underestimate anyone especially the quiet ones or assume one rule applies to all.

Quiet people are usually very perceptive & observant so there's the chance that within a very short time of meeting you, they would have known a lot about you especially those things you don't talk about. Most times they know a lot more than they let on and you'll only find out when the need arises. That's how they form their opinion about people and not by what you tell them or hearsay.

They are soft spoken and don't say much because they don't see the need to and would hardly raise their voice but have very effective ways of getting results. They would let you do all the talking but be careful because whatever you say would be processed and stored for later They tend to retain/remember more of what is said than most. They usually don't act on impulse no matter what they hear or see but would rather patiently gather info until they are 110% sure and when they finally act, they never go back. They don't bark but their bite is worse than venom and its usually comes when you least expect it.

They are never quick to judge and are a lot more forgiving than most. Its always best to be honest with them because they'll usually have all or most of the facts before bringing up an issue just to gauge your reply. Trust is a big ish for them & that's why they value honesty and would mostly forgive anything so long as you're honest with them.

They tend to be underestimated alot! People see them as weaklings and would generally let their guards down around them but Underestimate them at your own Peril.

Believe me cos i know!

Y are guys becoming more stingy?

Lol indeed!

I was completely turned off

TrebleChamp: Good day tech genius, please i would like to know if windows 7pro 64 bit will work flawlessly on my Dell Inspiron 5040, Intel CPU, 3gb Ram, 2.1Gigahertz processor, 300gb hard disk? Am asking cos a friend told me that 64 bit only work in system with 4gb Ram and above, am current running windows 7pro 32 bit, thanks.

To install a 64-bit version of Windows 7, you need a CPU that's capable of running a 64-bit version of Windows. The benefits of using a 64-bit operating system are most apparent when you have a large amount of random access memory (RAM) installed on your computer, typically 4 GB of RAM or more. In such cases, because a 64-bit operating system can handle large amounts of memory more efficiently than a 32-bit operating system, a 64-bit system can be more responsive when running several programs at the same time and switching between them frequently

Kinkybraids: Lol ouch... That was so cruel of you. A woman that chases you would never give you pity sex... and infact maybe it might be pity the first time but if she returns it isnt anymore...she feels attached to you.

lol indeed! The flip comment was uncalled for madam seeing as i didn't force her to be there & she would have enjoyed the sex as much or more than i would have. The feelings was mutual but careless talks like that ticks me off

Back in Uni....A chic I had been chasing all over the place decided to spend d night, we were ready to get down & busy for the first time. We both got naked, I wore my condom about to get down to d business of the night when she now said "I hope you're happy now now that u're about to get what You've been looking for ".

I paused, pulled off the condom, wore my briefs and went to bed. She couldn't believe it. Tried every trick in the book including tears to get me to sleep with her that night & subsequently. Though she succeeded in giving me a hard on a few times but my mind was made up & no longer there. Never had sex with her and she still hates me with a passion because of that.

I hate flip comments like that especially from ladies who who feel they are doing me a favor by offering me sex. I would never accept sex offered out of pity or spite no matter how Hot i am & will never beg for it.

Probably reason why women say I'm proud

smite: How U.s discovered the secret formula to cure Ebola (a virus that is only prevalent in West Africa) amazes me!

That's the difference between the 1st and 3rd world nations especially Africa.

The whites knowing the world is now a global village and that diseases can no longer be restricted to a region starts studying a disease and working on a cure right after its first occurrence and long before they need it but we usually wait until there's a problem before we start looking for a solution. You'll be amazed at the amount of money/time spent on research for the cure of diseases that are only found in Africa

That's the difference, they are mostly proactive while we are mostly reactive.

Lets just pray the Pharmaceutical company can produce the drug fast enough and that the drug does not cause a mutation of the virus making them more virulent and resistant to frontline drugs.

I can't believe some people are trying to justify the depraved act carried out by this group

Nothing justifies the above an i mean NOTHING!

Why the White Americans Got the ‘Secret’ Ebola Serum
After two missionaries were given an experimental treatment for Ebola, questions have swirled about why the hundreds of Africans infected aren’t getting it. For good reasons, it turns out.

A Washington Post blog asks: “Why do two white Americans get the Ebola serum while hundreds of Africans die?”

The New Republic demands: “Why did two U.S. missionaries get an Ebola serum while Africans are left to die?”

That was just media yammering, but it was echoed on streets and in subways by otherwise reasonable people.

Never mind that there seem to have been no more than eight doses of the serum in existence.

Never mind that the white people in question—Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol—who received three of those doses before they were flown home to the U.S. got perilously ill in the first place because they risked their lives helping Ebola victims in Liberia who happened to be black.

And never mind that Samaritan’s Purse would not have established the Ebola clinic in Monrovia and asked Brantly serve as medical director had it thought the life of a white American was worth more than the life of a black African.

If nationality and race did influence the organization’s decision to seek an untested serum for Brantly and Writebol, it was likely only because any Western organization that administers an untested serum to the African population runs the risk of being accused of using blacks as guinea pigs in the way of the long-ago Tuskegee syphilis tests and the 1996 meningitis tests in Nigeria.

That was not a worry with the two white Americans.

Of course, Samantha’s Purse may not have been immune from the sense of urgency that can seize even the most altruistic organizations when one of its own is in mortal danger. The same is true with a fire department when a firefighter is critically injured.

Watch what happens at the scene of a blaze when a radio call of “Mayday!” signals that a firefighter who went in to save others suddenly needs saving himself.

This does not mean firefighters care any less about the people they are trying to save any more than it means Samaritan’s Purse was leaving Africans to die when it began asking U.S. scientists and health workers in the hot zone about experimental treatments described in various scientific papers in recent years.

Samaritan’s Purse ended up in contact with Mapp Biopharmaceutical in San Diego, the lead developer of a drug called ZMapp.

The scandal is not that two white people got an untested serum, but that the deaths of so many black people were ignored until two white people got sick.

ZMapp is an enhanced version of MB-003, which was developed in conjunction with the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). MB-003 consists of three monoclonal—artificially produced—antibodies that proved capable of both deactivating the Ebola virus and tagging it for attack by the victim’s immune system.

A year ago this month, USAMRIID and Mapp announced the results of a study involving Rhesus monkeys that would have caused a sensation had we not been in a long lull between Ebola outbreaks. MB-003 protected 100 percent of the monkeys when administered an hour after exposure and two-thirds of those given the drug 48 hours after exposure.

“We were able to use MB-003 as a true therapeutic countermeasure,” USAMIID virologist Gene Olinger said when the results were announced.

James Pettitt, the study’s lead author, said he and his colleagues would be working with Canadian researchers who had devised a different antibody cocktail. The immediate aim would be to devise the most effective mixture of MB-003 and the Canadian compound and test it in additional monkeys, along with the best dose.

The combination was called ZMAPP. The ultimate results are said to have been even more promising than with MB-003 alone. But Ebola did not seem an imminent threat, and there was no scramble to produce more of the stuff than would be needed for animal toxicity testing and eventually the first human trials, which USAMIID expected to take between five to 10 years.

[size=18pt]The federal Centers for Disease Control estimates that there were no more than eight doses of ZMapp in existence when Samaritan's Purse sought some.[/size] Three doses were flown to Liberia. Two were given to Writebol and one to Brantly, who was repeatedly also given a transfusion of blood from a 14-year-old survivor he had treated.

The two stricken Americans were flown to Atlanta, and Brantly in particular seemed to be on the mend. Governments of the affected countries in West African began inquiring about Zmapp. U.S. scientists cautioned that the drug had not yet proven to be as beneficial to humans as it apparently was to monkeys.

“We don’t know if it is effective,” Dr. Heinz Feldmann of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease told The Daily Beast. “We don’t have enough even if it was effective.”

ZMapp is made by inserting modified genes into the cells of tobacco plants whose cells then become mini-factories of the antibodies. The facility where this happens is owned by R.J. Reynolds, which also makes cigarettes that kill by the hundreds of thousands.

Reynolds is now said to be accelerating its effort to do good as well as evil, but tobacco plants grow only so fast, and extracting and purifying antibodies is considerably more complicated than producing cancer sticks. Any significant quantity of ZMapp appears to be months away even if another company with a larger facility joins in the effort.

The question of the serum came up at the press conference President Obama held at the end of this week’s Africa Summit at the White House. He said it would be premature to rush ZMapp to the hot zone.

“Let the science guide us,” he went on to say. “I don't think all the information is in on whether this drug is helpful.”

He observed that previous epidemics had been brought under control by effective public health programs.

“We’re focusing on the public health approach right now, but I will continue to seek information about what we’re learning about these drugs going forward,” he said.

Obama did authorize sending kits for a diagnostic Ebola test called the EZ1 Real-Time RT-PCR Assay. His view that the primary focus should be on containment was echoed by the head of the Centers for Disease Control at an emergency congressional hearing held on Thursday even though lawmakers are in recess.

“In terms of the promising drugs, I can assure you that the U.S. government is looking into this very carefully,” Dr. Thomas Frieden said. “But I don’t want there to be false hope out there. Right now, we don’t know if they work.”

The CDC is moving to assist the fight by going to a Level 1 alert and “surging” 50 experts to West Africa. Frieden emphasized that containment will require great care.

“It’s like fighting a forest fire: Leave behind one burning ember, one case undetected, and the epidemic could reignite,” he said.

When it came his turn to testify, Ken Isaacs of Samaritan’s Purse wondered why the forest fire had been allowed to rage for months with little notice beyond those who were being consumed by it. The scandal is not that two white people got an untested serum, but that the deaths of so many black people were ignored until two white people got sick.

“It took two Americans getting the disease in order for the international community and the United States to take serious notice of the largest outbreak of the disease in history,” he said. “The disease is uncontained and out of control in West Africa.”

Isaacs, who is a vice president of the organization, spoke as someone who has been watching the fire rage for months and believes it will be harder to contain than many anticipate. He said that too many people in Western Africa remain suspicious of Western medicine and tied to traditional practices that spread the virus, notably the washing and kissing of the dead. He noted that even now university students in Liberia “continue to mock and deny the existence of Ebola.”

“I think we are going to see the death toll in numbers we cannot imagine,” Ken Isaacs said.

He noted that the disease can travel anywhere “at the speed of an airplane.” He said the ultimate goal should be an effective vaccine.

“In the meantime it is a nasty, bloody disease that we must fight now,” he said.

I don't think it'll make any difference man, they won't bother reading this and their bias won't let them use their brains for once. For them everything is a conspiracy.

Where's that retard winner01? Here's something you should read. That's assuming u can keep your conspiracy ladened brain awake long enough to digest it

I can't believe you people bashing the US for not giving us an experimental drug to use!

Do you know the kind of rigorous testing a drug pass through before it's considered safe for human use?

It'll be irresponsible for US to send an experimental drug that the side effect & efficacy is not known especially for a country like 9ja where anything goes. The doctors that the drug has been administered on would have to be isolated & monitored closely for months before being released into the general population just to be sure they don't relapse & cause more harm. Do you trust 9ja with that kind of task?

We couldn't even stop Ebola from entering our shores despite the fact that we knew about it months before now. We can't even find round up all those who had primary & secondary contact with Mr Sawyer.

Abeg the US should hold on to the drug until they are sure about its efficacy & side effects. Let them be sure that that it works and that it won't leave us with a more virulent strain after a few months cos that would be catastrophic & the whole world would hold them responsible if the drugs leaves us worse than we are now already

Hell the drug is not even enough to go round and would take months to produce in commercial quantity that's if it works. As for those of you clamoring for Govt to fund a research for Ebola cure in 9ja, I laugh in Chinese cos that would be playing with fire.

Let's learn to do this properly & avoid quick fixes, that's what got us where we are now. Containment & public health approach is our best bet now

Ericsdm55: You don't strike me as a Nigerian atall. Statements like ''your government'' only proves that. Anyway thanks for observation and correction. Eventhough you called us fools indirectly, i believed learning is a continual thing. I could have said worst without thinking, as last night drama of salt and warm water thing still lingers in my mind.

I'm sorry I came off that way man, didn't mean to call you a fool. I was just pissed off from all the salt & water drama last night & today. I'm very much Nigerian and haven't even been outside d shores of 9ja before. But let's try and reason/research things properly b4 jumping into conclusions.
Read up on thalidomide and you'll understand the the need for proper testing before approving a drug for commercial use.

Cheers man!

0955eb027: I av a hp(dv7) which I bought in 2011. I woke up 1 morning 2 discover that d system is smelling (like sumtin is burnt in it). Wen I took it 2 an engineer, I learnt that d power is damaged bt he could not get a solution. Again, I took It 2 another engr (dis tym, it was d person dat sold it 2 me); he told me dat d board is damaged ( little drop of water being d cause) and d range of a new board is 28 to 30k which I do not av den. Fast forward 2012 (when I came bak 4rm skool) I took it 2 him cos m prepared 2 pay d 30k. He gave it 2 his boys 2 work on it; he said dey av 2 take it to where dey ll buy d board (reason being dat if it fails 2 work, it ll be easier 2 return it 2 d seller). Wen dey got bak, I was told dat d screen is displaying internally (meaning d screen is damaged as well). I dnt knw if its possible for an used system to develop fault. What I want 2 knw is if d system can be repaired and at what price...

It wont be worth me man cos the price of the board and screen will get you a decent used laptop

winner01: CURE FOR EBOLA?
Kent Brantley and
Nancy Writebol are
American
missionaries in
Liberia. They
contracted the
virus. Kent Brantley,
began experiencing
the symptoms on
July 22. He called his
wife to say
goodbye that he
was dying. 2days
later, Nancy began
experiencing the
ebola symptoms
too. They isolated
themselves but
were evacuated to
America a few days
ago and they
received an injection
known as Zmapp.
Within an hour of
receiving the
injection the
infection left and
they began walking
about. According to
the scientists the
drug worked on
monkeys but hasn't
been tested on
humans. It is an
experimental drug.
So this cure has
been available since
and hundreds of
people are dying in
Africa. I believe they
were hoarding the
cure for their sick,
twisted reasoning.
Now that it has
been confirmed to
work on humans
why don't you send
it to Africa to cure
those in pains?
They said no, that
they need to still
work on the drugs
to improve it. If you
ask me these
people are making a
lot of money from
the outbreak of
diseases in Africa.
They are making
lots of money when
the government
pays their health
workers to come to
the aid of their
countries, they
make enough
money when
companies pump in
money to their
accounts urging
them to find a cure.
I wouldn't be
surprised if this
Ebola was
manufactured in a
lab and taken to
West Africa and
infected some
monkeys. Why are
west African
monkeys the only
ones with the virus?
All these gives one
questions to ask.
Send the cure and
they said they need
to perfect it, they
need more serums
cuz they only
produced a few. You
can imagine, when
you have produced a
successful cure
producing more of it
shouldn't be a
problem.
They said a vaccine
would be more
effective cuz even
after being cured
the cured might get
infected again. I
believe that, a
vaccine is like a
preventive drug
that makes you
immune to the
virus. Alright make
the vaccine, they
said no company is
ready to sponsor
the vaccine that
what they sponsor
is the cure yet the
cure is still being
hoarded. Thank God
an American was
infected we
wouldn't have
known of a cure,
they couldn't let
two of their own
die but hundreds of
ours are dying.
DON'T EVER TELL ME
RACISM IS OVER!!!

Ericsdm55: Na wa ooo! Wetin i know be sey God Almighty pass them, and na HIM go expose them and go force this cured wey them dey hide. May God deliver Nigeria and its citizens from E.V.D

^^^^
Must everything you cant comprehend or understand be a conspiracy theory? If i call you both idiots now, you'll take it as an insult and take offense.

You want them to give you an experimental drug that has not even gone through clinical trials? A Drug that the side effects and efficacy in human hasn't even been determined. A drug that might do more harm than good in the long run? A drug that is not even available in commercial quantity?

Do you know what's involved in the drug approval and production process and how long it takes?

And if the drugs fails tomorrow or there's severe side effects, Retards like you would start another round of conspiracy theory on how US is experimenting on Africans & using them as guinea Pigs.

Hell if your Government were half as responsible as theirs, we would not find ourselves in a situation where we are desperate to try anything
