TMTR:
While all this was going on, I was in their middle and my mom tried calling me on my phone which I held on my right hand because she saw what was going on from afar.
Your mum saw what was going on from afar and she phoned you, and when you didn't answer her call she continued to phone you. It appears there was nothing suspicious going on.


TMTR:
My mum called after answering the call, I saw her missed call which came in while I was with those guys.
It took quite a while for me to understand what you meant here.

The question is offensive, not just to Nigerians, but to the other nationalities stated. Nobody should be compelled to answer a question that insults his or her nationality. The student should take the matter up. The question should be cancelled and not used in the course assessment, regardless of whatever answer each student ticked.

Food › Re: What Meals Do I Need To Avoid To Stop Growing Fat? by panpan(m): 8:52pm On Apr 14, 2018
Op, you didn't tell us your height, so it's not easy for us to tell how 'fat' you are. The only clue was your weight gain from last year to this year.

A lot of advice has been given on this thread. Go through the posts and find what would work for you.

You should have a guide as to what weight is okay for you.

# Body Mass Index (BMI): BMI is calculated as weight (in kg) divided by height squared (in m2).
For example, if a person's weight is 74 kg and the height is 1.75 m, then the BMI would be 74/1.752 = 24.2

BMI 18.5 - 24.9 (acceptable)
25.0 - 29.9 (overweight)
30.0 - 39.9 (obese)
40.0 and above (grossly obese)

# Height versus waist circumference: If a person's waist circumference is over half of his/her height, then that person probably has excess belly fat.

Food › Re: NAFDAC Warns Against Eating Fruits Ripened With Calcium Carbide by panpan(m): 7:40pm On Mar 26, 2018
How to Detect Fruits Ripened Using Calcium Carbide

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwk-rtHPdes

Summary
1. Fruits (mangoes) ripened artificially with calcium carbide float when dropped in a bucket of water. If the fruits sink and reach the bottom of the bucket, they are naturally ripened or ripened using the natural plant hormone ethylene.
Naturally ripened fruits or fruits ripened using ethylene weigh more and are more juicy; whereas fruits ripened using calcium carbide weigh less, and are dry and less juicy.

2. By the detection of acetylene gas: When calcium carbide reacts with moisture or water, it releases acetylene gas.
Matchstick test: Hold a lit matchstick near a fruit artificially ripened with calcium carbide, it gives sparkles or even catches fire if traces of acetylene gas are present on the fruit surface.
Caution: Do not attempt this test in close proximity to fruit crates or boxes/cartons with ripening fruits having calcium carbide and still releasing a good amount of acetylene gas as this leads to an explosion.

3. In the case of papaya (pawpaw) and banana, the stem portion of the fruit will still be green if the fruits have been artificially ripened using calcium carbide.

4. The fruits start developing black blotches on the surface within 2 - 3 days of ripening.

Education › Re: These Schools Won’t Give You Admission If You Don’t Have Credit In Yoruba by panpan(m):
Regardless of any language sentiment, this thread is important, because it is necessary for us to be informed.

With this law in place, there is no need to apply for admission into any Lagos State higher institution, if you do not have a credit in Yoruba, even if that is your ethnicity or you are fluent in the language.

With this law, do not apply for any post graduate degree or diploma in a Lagos State higher institution, even if the tuition fees are affordable, unless you have a credit in Yoruba.

International or foreign students have no place in a Lagos State higher institution unless they have a credit in Yoruba.

Events › Re: Weird Wedding Day Stories In Nigeria!! by panpan(m):
GlobalGisting:
I'm a DJ, I play in clubs and coincidentally I went to play at a wedding in Lekki for one prostitute I've seen severally. Didn't knw she was the bride till I saw her about to dance into the venue. Although they had a list of songs selected to dance into the hall, my mood changed when I saw a renowned "olosho" marrying this gentleman from London. Well, I just switched their first song from Kiss Daniel's Mama to Flavour's Ashawo. Did I do wrong?
What you did was unprofessional. You were given a job and you were probably paid for your services. It is good practice to put aside your personal views of your clients while working for them; confidentiality is also an important work ethic.

If I knew you personally, I would probably not ask for your services.

Health › Re: Pregnant Woman Dies After Her Pastor Told Her Not To Go For C-Section by panpan(m): 9:27am On Feb 17, 2018
wirinet:
The bolded red quote is a sad commentary on the state of our medical profession and in fact all professionals in Nigeria. A doctor advising patients to seek medical advise from a pastor has zero medical knowledge. The Doctor's license should be withdrawn.
The doctor did not advise the pregnant woman to seek medical advice from a pastor. Before the caesarian section could be carried out, consent had to obtained from the woman (or her husband). Consent for the operation was not given in this case.

As several people have said on this thread, PayPal does not allow residents of Nigeria to receive funds. If a foreign company snubs you, you may snub them back. You may use PayPal only when the product or service you want to purchase is very important to you and there is no other payment option.

Crime › Re: Cult Members Arrested By 2am In Lagos During Their Meeting (Photos) by panpan(m): 9:24am On Jan 21, 2018
Why were they arrested? No crime is stated here.

There is no law that states that meetings should only take place at certain hours of the day; besides, just because some friends are gathered together, does that really mean that they are having a meeting?

Belong to a 'cult' (whatever that means) is not an offence. What becomes an offence is when the 'cult' or group is involved in criminal activities.
