weed is from the earth. God made it for us...


ain't nothing wrong in smoking weed please

That's not the point though, is it?

It's illegal in Ghana. End of.

TMSMedia:
A couple from Anambra State, Chika and Chinyere Nwokike, have welcomed quadruplets after sixteen years of childlessness, IgbereTV reports.

Mrs Chinyere gave birth to two boys and two girls last month.

A priest with the Catholic Archdiocese of Onitsha, Rev. Fr. Obum Martin shared the good news on Facebook. He also shared a picture of himself carrying the quadruplets in the midst of their parents. He wrote;

But will she tell us which IVF clinic she used?
Instead, all we get is cryptic scripture and glory and praise.
Funny country

Afonjashapmouth:
More interesting that people under this clime don't know celebrities abroad drive round town and throw wads of cash at fans and people get injured in the process with no charges attached to the act. I have witnessed a few times so cut it

You're free to make up stories as you go along. I can't begrudge you your imagination.

But you might want to google what dangerous driving means, and the implications for the driver

Afonjashapmouth:
Could happen anywhere Globally. It's not about the amount but from who it's coming from

Interesting when people think the world is mad like Nigeria.
Try that anywhere else, you will be charged with dangerous driving, your vehicle impounded and then your licence permanently revoked.

The usual bastardisation of igbo culture

HellVictorinho:
No race is intellectually superior or inferior.
Period.

Who said anything about race
I'm on about developmental success among black nations, and expressing my shock that the best of us are only as 'good' as Pakistan and Ukraine.

HellVictorinho:
You don't understand what the OP is saying.

I must be missing something cos the thread seems to be comparing the best black nations to countries like Pakistan, Philippines, Ukraine - good lord !

So the point of this thread is to desperately convince ourselves that we are doing great, that everything is hunky dory, and may be even almost at Uhuru.

Our aspirations are really little.

illmatic101:
So the North Africans are now white?

Before nko, what are they?

Shiver99:
Aconomist, like other people posted, it is a factor of poverty.

Much of what we consider 'Nigerian Culture' today is actually the result of generations of poverty, corruption and neglect.

However your thread is actually a gross generalisation.

From an Igbo perspective, Igbos never really lived in congested cities but instead in towns, like more developed countries are trying to do do now.

Several Europeans noted how picturesque and well-ordered Igbo towns were. Igbos made sure to regularly maintain their inner streets and main roads as well as their houses, which were often bedazzled with decorative items or white-washed.

While this strict village maintenance culture had disappeared, the fierce pride in their villages never did l, and no Igbo person would be comfortable leaving their villages like the atrocious pictures above.

Feel free to peruse any thread where Igbos showcase their villages. While most Nigerian villages are undeveloped, trying to compare Igbo ones to the eyesores above is a grave insult.

Not doubting your claims, but do you have evidence that Igbo historic towns are as you described?
Your description sounds eerily like Richardson's first impressions of Benin many centuries ago.

SGANIVA:
this man no dey travel at all , many villages in anambra and enugu is much better than that you posted with much better and beautiful Mansions.


awka etiti ,alo and many more villages in anambra

awgu and udi in enugu with most beautiful natural environment in South eastern Nigeria ,the hills and the road is much beautiful and better than your pictures .

abiriba is the most beautiful village in abia

I don't know imo very well but I think oguta is fine also

That isn't quite the OP's point.

Put another way, why does the Nigerian person have to be rich in order to live in a 'decent' home?

LKO:
My friend would finally begin his drugs by Monday, the drugs are 4 in number. TLD, septrin, one to prevent TB and one small tiny one. He was told how and when to take them. The funny part was that he was never sick, he only decided to go for the test at a government hospital and he tested positive. He has never be sick all his life.

How possible is it for him to achieve this undectable stage? What are the effect of this drug? Any hope? Thanks.

Majority of people will be undetectable within 6 months of starting treatment, so no worries there

LKO:
Thanks, can such a person if a man still get married and have unprotected sex and have children that are healthy? My best male friend tested positive last week and he has confided in him. I really need to get enough information to help talk to him to be calm.

When should he commence his drugs? I read online that ARV should only be administered when CD4 count is below 300. But the doctor he met at the government hospital has asked him to begin his drug even when he is yet to see the result of the CD4 count he did the very day he tested positive. He was told the result would be ready by his next clinic day which is in two weeks time.

Yes his doctor is absolutely right. What you saw on the internet is a very old guideline from when ARVs were expensive and not easily available. These days, treatment is started as soon as diagnosis is made.

Regarding your first question, Google U equals U. Once he's undetectable, it becomes impossible to transmit HIV to anyone else. Note that I didn't say the risk is low, rather the risk is zero. It is 100% safe to have condomless sex in that context.

LKO:
Please what does it mean for the virus to be undectable? Does it mean if a carrier goes for a test after use of the drug for say six months, the test won't detect the virus?

Undetectable means the person will still test positive,but if you check the amount of virus in the blood, that amount will be so very little that it is impossible for them to transmit HIV to someone else.

The video suggests physical assault, rather than sexual assault.
As well as indecent exposure and outraging public decency of course

I can't believe how this guy got very enthusiastic about this unexciting inflatable thingy, but I give it to you, you're a good salesman. Great choice of words and passionate about what you do. Kudos

agborodun:
Same vaccine south Africa just suspended because its not effective on the new strain
https://www.voanews.com/covid-19-pandemic/south-africa-suspends-astrazeneca-vaccinations

The more important question is which strain is in Nigeria?

@OP:
How can you call a full grown man a video vixen. Vixen, really?

gaius01:
Arrrrrrrh

Any body that takes this man's vaccine at his own peril. I have a video where some people where saying some nastic thing. They are whites,

Let me write what they said.


[b]
Be very careful with this bill gate guy, it's true he help Africa before and Nigeria. But before a person can poison you he must have make you feel at home and relaxed. And that is what has blind fold most of us

Am not taking any vaccine, I don't have covid 19. That's just the truth!

And because they're white men, you believe everything they say

alpharoyalty:
It look more like a cultural thing.
Just my observation.
I have seen video of Vietnamese soldier drinking raw cobra's blood.

Oh thanks, I'm no longer repulsed and disgusted because the Vietnamese do this too

Disgusting set of lowlifes.

2010goingon:
Yes rightly said

Actually the African origin of modern humans, also called the "Out of Africa" theory, recent single-origin hypothesis, replacement hypothesis, or recent African origin model is yet to be proven beyond doubt or rather assumed to be true untill proven wrong.

Hence why it is called out of Africa " theory / hypothesis / model " .

Also recent discoveries have created more questions

https://www.google.com/amp/s/api.nationalgeographic.com/distribution/public/amp/news/2018/01/india-stone-tools-human-evolution-archaeology-science

And what the OP in his or her ignorance don't realise Africans in Paleolithic ( old stone age ) don't bear resemblance to modern day Africans , same way they don't bear resemblance to modern day Chinese Japanese Indians Europeans.

So entire credit for African civilization belongs to modern day Africans , same way entire credit for Indian , Chinese , Japanese , European etc civilization belongs to modern day Indians , Chinese , Japanese , Europeans etc respectively.

Trying to appropriate credit for achievements of other civilizations is a sign of inferiority complex on the part of few African individuals and a great insult to the various noteworthy African civilizations which nurtured and prospered in Africa.

It's like one is not happy with the achievements of one's own son , so he / she claimed another's son as own because they think he is better.

I am a African and I am proud of African civilizations which is rooted in Africa . Does a mother thrown away her child because some might think it to be inferior ? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder . One has to be worthy to recognise and appreciate it.

I couldn't have said it better. Touché. And I appreciate your pointing out the out-of-Africa theory, which I misrepresented as fact.

I've seen many similar propositions on this forum, seeking to rewrite other peoples history. Once you get past the arrogance of it, you quickly find the evidence is reeling in superficiality.
I've seen so called Igbo scholars favouring a Jewish origin of the Igbos based on little more than shared similarities in word spellings, but not in meaning or enunciation. That or a new spin to existing literature, notably Equiano Olaudah's book, or the bible .

The glaring error is not so apparent, it seems. Whilst they admit that ancient peoples of Eurasia have had aeons to evolve into their current phenotype, they think the peoples of Africa have remained exactly the same throughout this time, and therefore compare modern day non-African populations to modern day Africans. What a laugh.

There is more to human origin than linguistic similarity, and even if languages are similar, it does not prove commonality or genetic similarity. But because gene level investigations are few and far between in these parts, we will continue to deal with people like the OP who will vehemently push social media theories as incontrovertible evidence.

Have you heard of U equals U

Undetectable means Untransmittable

If you simply take your meds and have an undetectable viral load (like most HIV positive people do) no other specific precaution is necessary, one will never transmit HIV in that case.
If you prefer skin to skin, enjoy - your partner will never get HIV from you.
The risk is zero.

Mysticwebb:
This is very wrong. Life is worth more than the pain of feeling cheated.
These people are soft hearted, hence cannot live in Nigeria where you will see cheating clearly and perpetrator will even rub it on your face by boasting about it and telling you that the masses can do nothing.

Don't glorify suffering.
Nigeria is not a place meant for human beings to live.

This is preposterous to subsume entire cultures and civilisations under yours, simply because of similarities in spellings of words, never mind their meanings.

The primary problem on this thread is a preconception that the world is either white or black, therefore images of Ainus with vague phenotypic similarities to Africans is taken as some sort of proof that Ainus are descended from Africa. Laughable, if I'm honest.
All life started in Africa, but don't presume that earliest Africans looked like present day Africans, therefore the fallacy of this entire debate is comparing modern day groups to modern day Africans.

But I wish the OP would stop referring to this coincidence of similar sounding names as 'research ', that's a slap in the face of researchers everywhere

Racoon:
And the DG NCDC is saying no cause for alarm on the new strain of the COVID19 pandemic that is raging more deadlier than its predecessor? Pls play safe people.

It's not deadlier, it's more infectious

If you want a fighting partner, go live with Cassius Clay (aka Muhammad Ali)

casdoruche:
When the government means of stealing is affected they quickly raise alarm. But when the looting is paying they are mute.

Biko let us have sense. Government of the looters for the looters and by the looters.

Why did government not raise Alarm that there were hidden palliatives.

Fools in power

I know Nigeria has a history of terrible leadership, but it is terrible to condemn all government's actions before you understand them.
It is a public health concern that travellers from high risk areas are buying covid certificates so as to avoid testing. If this continues, watch how the UK and SA coronavirus variants will quickly spread across the country.

Nigeria is not among the top 25 rice producing countries in the world, yet building the third largest rice mill.

Nigeria is one of the largest producers of crude oil , yet no one has thought to build a refinery.

Does anyone still wonder why the country is in ruins? Her priorities are upside down
