Enugu was founded and built by Lord Lugard after coal was discovered there

This was not mentioned in the write up but it should have

Umuahia was also founded.by Lord Lugard at the same time

Give honour to whom honour is due

Honour indeed lol.
Enugu is the ancestral home of the Enugu Ngwo and Nike people. They have lived there for generations, so if you want to honour anyone, you know who.
I guess you also believe Mungo Park discovered the Niger river.

Tjra:
This is ignorance.

You think young folks that eat healthy and doesn't drink do not have kidney failures?

Just dey thank God for yourself.

No be by doings oo


Meanwhile, his focus should be on God and God alone. Now isn't the time for Twitter

He does have a point.
The rates of kidney problem in Nigeria is alarmingly high, especially among young people.
It may not necessarily be whiskey but something is going on that's causing such a high rate of kidney problem among young people. It may not be unconnected with alcohol, herbal drinks, recreational drugs and other drugs and concoctions that are so common on Nigerian streets.

Wishing him the best!

I'm Nigerian but I've voted Miss Kwara too because all the other contestants are not pageantry material at all!

epainos:
I used to have a group where I do free training on this stuff. I think I need to do it again to help a lot of people. If you are interested in this....just let me know.....I my consider teaching people again.

This is my quota to help Nigerians during this food shortage crisis.

Get real - Nigerians cannot produce enough food to feed the nation. There is acute food scarcity and hunger with a never-before-seen hyperinflation.
It's all well and good to say produce your own veggies but you know that advice is merely performative. Only 25% of men in Nigeria own lands, and only 4% of women, so what are the others (majority) going to do? What about the children - 43% of Nigerians are aged less than 15, so who is going to grow enough veggies to feed them?

Even if GMOs cause cancer (there is no evidence that this is the case), would you rather live up to 60 and die of cancer, or die at 25 of starvation?

It is clear that Nigeria has no choice unfortunately - food insecurity is a real and greater threat to the country than all the reasons you have against GMO foods. If people can afford it, they should buy organically grown foods but for the people who can't afford the cost, it is best to have an alternative.

Starz825:
Why I no go believe...the woman looks so old tho

And besides wetin concern me

At least you're honest ha.
But there are many factors that can make people look old, not just natural aging. Hardship and frailty can make people age faster.

SpaceX:
Richard quest from CNN actually created the illusion of Lagos being a slum. He started the whole madness. He called Lagos the dirtiest city in the world with heap of dirt in the background. Since then Lagos haven't recovered.

Illusion, you say?

Starz825:
You get bro

Person grandma na 194 ...all this dey say 117 na oldest person..
. that grandma don turn another creature .
Couldn't figure out her eyes.....to tell you she is damn old.

And she still dey ooo
...

The problem is you believe anything.
Somebody tells you their grandma is 194 years and you just believe.

A 194 year old person in Africa will be at least a great great great great great grand mother.

Treasure17:
Tar! My grandma is 150. Rest in peace.

Lies.
She cannot be 150 and only be a grandmother, people of her time became grandmothers before 50 years of age.

Lie with fear of God please.

obonujoker:
If you don't want to hear the word of God by speakers, since this world is controlled by it's prince for now, then you will hear it by morning cry, bus evangelism, house to house evangelism, social media evangelism.

Like Jesus said,Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

People want to come back home after a hard day's job and have a quality sleep before going to work the next morning. Surely your brain can understand the need for sleep.

In my assessment, you over reacted. Everyone hates am open confrontation in the west. Speak politely to people even if they seem aggressive and make a report later. The west is no place for gbas gbos. Now they've asked you to write a report and you don't know how to.

You're a student, of course you'll be asked to do jobs. It would be nice if people said please but you already knew she's not one of those who say please yet you decided to blow it out into gbas gbos.
You say she slammed the door slightly on you - this tells me this is your imagining. People either slam the door or not, if you're describing it as a slight slam, then it's probably all in your head.

You must learn to calm down. Your colleague is smarter than you, and you're trying to drag her into your mess. Everything is not fight.

My advice to you is find a way to keep this issue low and settle it with her without escalating things further. Reflect on it and see where you can improve.

EmmyOD:
Na bc of this she go finally win. They just called the attention of Igbo billionaires in SA to this competition.
Let's bring it home as usual...

I'm Igbo like you but please shut up.
So the other billionaires in SA will sit idly by while the Igbo billionaires give her victory
No wonder they call us chest beaters

Racoon:
Up medical world. My fear is that any drug that demonstrates clinical proficiency against HIV-AIDS may means a more heighten in moral deprivity and reckless sexual behaviours. God help our world.

Would you prefer more HIV instead?

HeatSeeker:
There are issues in her constituency that can mar her emergence.

Such as?

MrMiyaggi:
Why then is the write up different?
I read where he said they had consensual sex.

People who understand the language are telling you what the assailant said in his own words.
He broke into her house, rap.ed her and stole her phone and power bank. When the vigilante came to arrest him, he says he prayed to God and cried for what he had done, blaming the devil as usual.

Of course, the Yoruba man was bound to lose to a Liberian lady. People voted against him purely because of the tribal politics he resorted to...Yoruba party indeed. Look at the clown standing and begging for lazy pity votes, with the 200 other tribal bigots who voted for him. Miatta polled over 23K votes for Labour compared to Yoruba Ronu's 200 votes. At the end of the day, ideological leadership always trumps sectional politics.

Congratulations Miatta Fahnbulleh, new MP of Peckham

I understand the uncertainties around GMO foods but surely given the acute food insecurity in Nigeria as well as the worsening economic crisis pushing more people into extreme poverty, GMO is not at all bad news.

To my mind, there are benefits that outweigh any possibility of health or environmental risks.

For instance

1. You are worried about GMO foods causing cancer. My thoughts: The average Nigerian is unlikely to even live long enough to develop cancer. Life expectancy is short and people are now likely to die from extreme hunger, nutritional deficiencies or a poor immune system due to poor access to good nutrition.

2. You are concerned about the environment but we already experience pests and insect outbreaks on a yearly basis for instance there was tomato blight last year that pushed up the cost of tomato. GMO foods are known to be more resistant to pests.


3. Poverty has pushed people to fall back to nutritionless foods. Videos of tomato stews made with cucumber chaff have become quite popular. Do you really think GMO foods are worse than these nutritionless foods people eat out of desperation?

Is GMO food the best? Absolutely not. But the struggling economies of Africa are in a precarious situation and the choice is between survival or death.

Once again, Bill Gates will win because we haven't planned for this day. Today, we are experiencing a population explosion and tomorrow there will be even more and more people competing for dwindling food sources.

papyjaypaul:
I think they tested the waters well and succeeded. When I saw how Buhari and his cabinet posted pictures of their children graduating and we took it without any problem, I knew they flew the kite successfully..
Look at Bwala saying the President can rule from anywhere after 17 years of what we went through during Yar Adua and his sickness.

What a sad state of affairs, yet there is always someone ready to defend that behaviour. This country is really and truly finished.

loffyloffy:
Makinde does not need to steal your money to pay his child's school fees..he is not yahaya bello.

He was significantly wealthy before joining politics

Yea yea yea... he's so incredibly rich that rather than build a University to employ you and your kinsmen, he decides to join politics.
Wake up and smell the coffee, pal.

God1000:
It is very difficult to see the children of our politicians from governor, senator, minister to president in our universities and they claim to love this country.

Anyway, congrats to her and her Dad the man that raised her.

You made a great point. But why do you then feel the need to congratulate her and her dad for stealing from the Nigerian people? How will our policy makers ever realise the disgrace of buying education from foreign countries if all we do is congratulate them when they do it.

Of course I'm not referring to you directly but I'm thinking out loud of how much disrespect we take from our government.

professorPABX:
Mention one abandoned PPP FG road project. Mention one. Lagos to Ibadan (South West) was on PPP to Bi-Courtney. Under Jonathan, FG breached and frustrated the MM2 terminal built by Bi-Courtney on PPP which discouraged investors confidence. Apart from Lagos to Ibadan under PPP during OBJ and Yaradua Jonathan government, mention other FG major road under PPP.

To me, the best the 15% FG's commitment can be used for is this road because there is no any other road project where investors are willing to source for 85%. I don't have any other immediate priority except this road

LOL
This comment hasn't aged well, has it?
I'm interested if you still think this is a great project now that FG will be funding this project estimated to cost a whopping N4 billion per km?

professorPABX:
How much is injected into the project? FG commitment is only 15% the remaining 85% is sourced by the private investor. Which major road project is funded that way in the history of Nigeria?

Is the road project budget up to the proposed Lagos Calabar Railway project cost by Jonathan and Buhari? Is Coastal road not supposed to be high? If the Coastal Railway project has been awarded by Jonathan or Buhari structures on the pathway would have still been destroyed .

Why are you talking like you were born yesterday? This country is littered and dotted by abandoned PPP projects, which are neither new nor are they genuinely 'private partnerships'. Even going by your modest estimates, this highway will cost the government over N600 million per kilometre even before inflation is factored in. Can you not think of a thousand things those funds could be used to better your own local community?

Just another mega project that will quite quickly be abandoned with no accountability for the huge funds injected into the project.

Where is the talent please? There is nothing great here, let alone exceptional.

Silentgroper:
fyi .. I've accepted the fact that she doesn't have PID ..

My arguement is about if PID is a cause of secondary dysmenorrhoea or not ..


ever heard of endometritis?? .. is it cause of secondary dysmenorrhoea or not ..


Answery question without using Google if you're are as good as you say...

I started to type a response explaining myself for the umpteenth time then I realised sometimes it's best to let people revel in their ignorance.

Silentgroper:
"Other causes of secondary dysmenorrhea include the following: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) Uterine fibroids. Abnormal pregnancy (miscarriage, ectopic"


As gotten from Google..



Go make your research sir ...


I'm done here..

That list is written by someone who knows just as little as you do.
Do you know what "pelvic inflammatory disease" means? You think an infected/inflamed womb causes pain for 5 days then goes away until the next month 😆 .

In any case, OP has made it clear they don't have a discharge but you are too proud to admit you're wrong. Smh

Silentgroper:
yes, it causes painful periods...

No it does not.
PID causes pelvic pain that is independent of periods, ; it doesn't cause cyclical pain.

Kizzygentle:
Surprised about UK... Thought they all speak English.. US and Canada still understandable because of the boundaries between fellow soutthern and northern American countries that speak Spanish and Latin.

They're called Latin America because their current languages eg Spanish and Italian are derived from Latin, but they don't speak Latin - no country speaks Latin anymore, essentially a dead language.

Silentgroper:
said her bleeding has a foul smell . Me think this is a case of PID .. Besides endometriosis is related to secondary dysmenorrhea

Possible but PID won't cause cyclical bleeding or painful periods. Endometriosis will.
There are too many unknowns however, she just needs a proper assessment.

Removing your womb or hysterectomy is a radical treatment for something that could potentially be easily treated.
First you need to see a Gynaecologist.
Given the symptoms you're describing ie heavy menstrual bleed and painful periods, the possibilities are endometriosis, primary dysmenorrhoea etc

This may be easily treated with the Mirena coil.

helinues:
Yet to read such from my continent. Either they die there or get booted out

Booted out? You mean out-rigged.

The Chinese will buy it from them for 250K naira at best, then make 100 million naira worth of electrical products from it.
That's because the miners have no way of utilising it, their only option is to sell it to the Chinese, our new colonial masters.
