Yea, I got more confused reading about the so called autism. Confusion everywhere, which means at one point or the other all of us exhibited the core signs of the autism. Abeg I will advise him not to worry himself. At most if he's so concerned, he should take his concerns to God in prayers, yes call us Africans.
So grateful for the positive advise. I forwarded each one to my friends email. He's so grateful.

A friend was having serious quarrels with his wife over their son's education. 3 years and in nursery one, my friend said the basic things children of that age would ordinarily know like "what is your name?, how old are you?" were taught him from home and wanted to change his school which the wife said no that children learn at their one individual pace.
The boy talks, I am hungry, I want this or that, where is this or that, loud it... (when the volume of his cartoon is low), greet daddy and he says good morning sir... etc but ask him what happened in school? he repeats what happened in school and stuff like that. I had thought his teachers are not really trying and tasked my friend to hire a private tutors which he did but said the tutor complains the boy plays a lot.
The questions are:
Is the development of the child normal?
If no, who's fault is it, teachers or parent?

Just to motivate others. Pls don't bring the village people thong here

Her husband is always asking God to forgive his "rativousness". She needs explanation as she hears this each time she eavesdrops on him praying in his closet. She has also searched the net and other relevant books without result.

I came home from a two week travel and my three year old son handed me this. The mother said he had graded the writing on small piece of paper folded to a knot that no one opened to see what is inside. His teacher said he did not allow anyone to touch his bag. Could this be a message of some sort. His words are not yet coherent to explain that as he's still a lad.

A singer, Barbie Jay and his lover were arrested after they were caught having sex in the middle of the night by police officers. According to reports, the police operatives spotted the pair having sex after seeing the movement of the vehicle which there were in.

They were both arrested and taken in custody. The incident reportedly happened yesterday night in Uganda.

According to reports, the singer who is married - just welcomed a new baby with his wife last week.

Online users have reacted to this - with many saying the police were wrong in arresting the man and his lover because they are both adults and can do whatever they like..

For doubters, obtain a form and share your experience.

No short cut to success.
NOUN is a recognised university don't let enemies of progress denies you educational certificate.

People will criticized you for going to N.O.U.N, but remember to cope when there is criticism. They just envy you, that how can you be working and the same time learning.

People hating on N.O.U.N what is your problem? Not everybody have privilege to go to conventional university. And there is purpose for her establishment.
Stop hating, don't let jealous kill your sense of reasoning.

Universities such as University of Ibadan and Lautech copy N O U N distance Learning system and there is no fuss about their graduate, why the heavy criticism on noun graduate?
I think people negative perception about noun should change, there are various open universities in the world.
N.O.U.N have come to stay and it is waxing stronger day by day.
If you believe it is easy, obtain a form and share your experience.

the second sentence of your 4th paragraph is wrong, "everybody" is always followed with singular "has". Guess you wrote in a rush.

Officially, it’s only day 2 of the annual Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, Spain. But everyone at the event and around the world already knows that the high point of the show is already behind us. Samsung on Sunday unveiled its new Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ flagship phones, which are surprisingly exciting for a pair of smartphones that had been branded “boring” ahead of their announcement. These new flagship phones aren’t just better than their predecessors in every conceivable way, they’re also better than every other handset on the planet in several important ways.

Tech journalists and bloggers will spend a ton of time in the coming weeks comparing Samsung’s new Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ to dozens of different smartphones. Some comparisons will be more useful than others, but the most important one is fairly obvious. When the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are released on March 16th, they’ll be Samsung’s best smartphones ever. So it’s only right that we spend some time comparing them to Apple’s best smartphone ever, the iPhone X.

We’ll pit the iPhone X against Samsung’s latest and greatest in a number of different ways once we get our hands on review units. Of course, we’ve already spent plenty of time with the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, so in this post we’ll take a look at five ways these hot new Android phones are better than Apple’s iPhone X.

Camera

Apple’s iPhone X has one of the best cameras currently available on any smartphone. When photographing well-lit scenes, the iPhone X is capable of producing truly incredible results. It also has the best low-light performance of any iPhone Apple has ever released.

We’ve only spent a few hours with the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ at this point, but we can already safely say it’s one of the best camera phones the world has ever seen. We’ll reserve our final judgement for our review, but it’s quite possibly the best, period.

Early results from our testing suggest that photos captured on the Galaxy S9 are substantially better than similar photos captured on the iPhone X. This is true of images shot in good lighting conditions, but even more so of photos captured in low light. The Galaxy S9’s dual apertures make a huge different in both scenarios, as does the dedicated DRAM chip. We found that noise at full zoom was substantially reduced in photos taken on the Galaxy S9 compared to iPhone X photos.

We’re definitely looking forward to spending time with this camera.
Display

This is another area where we’ll need to spend more time with the Galaxy S9 before we declare it the outright winner over Apple’s iPhone X. As a reminder, the iPhone X features an OLED display manufactured by Samsung and tuned by Apple. Thanks to that tuning, experts have said that the iPhone X’s display is even better than any screen found on a Samsung phone.

While the overall winner remains to be named, there are two areas where we can already say Samsung has the edge over Apple.

The first is a matter of opinion: the Galaxy S9 has no notch. Some people, myself included, like the cutout at the top of Apple’s iPhone X display. It adds a unique design

That said, there’s no question that the notch disrupts the user experience in several scenarios. Viewing photos and videos is particularly bad — you can either view them with a big chunk taken out of the size, or you can reduce the size so you’re no longer taking advantage of the phone’s entire display. The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ have no notch, of course, so this isn’t an issue.

The second area where the Galaxy S9 is a clear winner over the iPhone X is screen-to-body ratio. Smartphone makers are battling to be the first to produce an all-screen smartphone. In fact, some companies like Apple already claim to have all-screen smartphone. Of course, that’s a flat-out lie.

The screen-to-body ratio on Apple’s iPhone X is about 82.9%. That means Apple’s “all-screen” iPhone is 17.1% not-screen. The screen-to-body ratio on Samsung’s Galaxy S9 is 84.2%, which means it’s more all-screen than Apple’s all-screen iPhone.
AR Emoji

Samsung’s new AR Emoji feature is a blatant rip-off of Apple’s Animojis, which were introduced last year on the iPhone X. But there’s one feature that Samsung added to its offering that Apple hasn’t yet managed, and it’s actually pretty need. Hilariously enough, it’s also something that was rumored to be coming to the iPhone X ahead of its launch last year, and that might be why Samsung added it to AR Emoji.

Animoji and AR Emoji are features that let you select a character from a stable of options, and then send animations as that character. The user looks at the phone and speaks his or her message, and the character acts it out, mirroring things like facial expressions and mouth movements.

Apple’s Animoji feature is much, much better at tracking the user. There’s also far less lag with Apple’s solution. But Samsung’s AR Emoji feature includes a cool option you won’t find on any iPhone: you can make a 3D character out of yourself. Simply scan your face and the S9 creates a digital character with your likeness. Then you can send animations of yourself in more than a dozen different scenes.
Plus

At 5.8 inches, Apple’s iPhone X display is fairly large on paper. But because the phone has a narrow aspect ratio of 19.5:9, and because of the notch, the screen doesn’t actually have as much surface as its diagonal measurement suggests. In fact, the 5.5-inch iPhone 8 Plus actually has more screen surface than the 5.8-inch iPhone X.

Samsung’s 5.8-inch Galaxy S9 has an 18.5:9 aspect ratio, so it already has more surface than the iPhone X. But some people want and even larger display, and that’s where the 6.2-inch Galaxy S9+ comes in. There is no iPhone X Plus, unfortunately, though Apple will reportedly release a plus-sized iPhone X successor later this year.
Headphone jack

This is one of those areas where some people care and some people don’t. I, for one, don’t care. I cut the cord and switched to Bluetooth headphones years ago, long before Apple ditched the headphone jack on the iPhone 7. Many, many other people have done the same. But there are still plenty of people out there who prefer to use wired headphones, perhaps so they don’t have to worry about charging yet another device.

There’s certainly nothing wrong with that… unless you’re an iPhone user. If that’s the case, then you’ll have to use the 3.5mm to Lightning adapter Apple includes in the box with each iPhone. Or, if you want to listen and charge at the same time without using a wireless charger, you’ll need a third-party splitter.

Samsung’s Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ have dedicated 3.5mm headphone jacks, so none of this is an issue.

maclatunji:
The Defence headquarters, has taken exception to an alleged insinuation that it might takeover the country by the Deputy Senate President of Nigeria, Ike Ekweremadu.

The following is a press release from the Defence Headquarters on the matter:

RE – WHO SAYS THE MILITARY CAN’T TAKE OVER

1. The Defence Headquarters wish to respond to a comment by the Deputy President of the Senate, Distinguished Senator Ike Ekweremadu on Wednesday 7 March 2018, regarding the Nigerian Military, while contributing to a debate on a motion sponsored by Senator Ahmed Ogembe, representing Kogi Central. In his comments among others, the Distinguished Deputy President of the Senate stated “The Problem in Nigeria is that our democracy is receding. Who says army cannot take over, let us not joke with our democracy that is the issue”.

2. This statement may appear cautionary and sincere in the atmosphere of discourse, it is however derogatory to the Army used in the expression and by extension to the Armed Forces of Nigeria. The statement in the true sense has the capacity to denigrate the Nigerian Military in every ramification including it’s loyalty to the President Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and the confidence of the general public to defend Nigeria’s democracy. In the light of this; the Defence Headquarters wish to state clearly that, the Nigerian Military has come of age and is in tune with best international military practices of complete and total subordination to democratic governance.

3. In this regard, it is worthy to remind the general public about some key measures among others that guaranteed the present sustainable status of politically unambitious members of the Armed Forces:

a. Shortly, after the transition from a military to a democratically elected government in 1999, officers of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, who were quasi-political, were honourably eased out of service. This was done to avoid indoctrination of other officers in the Military in order to enable the democratic government commence a re-professionalization process of the Armed Forces. The process commenced in collaboration with international organisations such as the United States Armed Forces and the British Military. By 2009, from the basic military training institutions through units and formation reorientation programmes to top management workshops and seminars for the military, it became clear that the Armed Forces of Nigeria has been re-professionalised to be totally subordinate to political leadership and democracy in the Country.

b. In addition, the Nigerian Military began to take the lead at ensuring that the West African Sub Region is stable democratically through military diplomacy and physical actions where it is highly desirable and supported by ECOWAS. The case of the Gambia last year is still fresh in our memories, where democracy was enforced by an ECOWAS Military Coalition led by the Armed Forces of Nigeria, under the focused and abled leadership of Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General AG Olonisakin (NAM).

c. Furthermore, the present crop of personnel in the Armed Forces of Nigeria right from the Service Chiefs to the men; are made up of the balance of re-professionalised officers and fresh intakes from 1999, who do not nurse political ambitions. They are fully committed to their oaths of allegiance to serve their fatherland Nigeria, with total submission to our democratic government.

4. Defence Headquarters hereby assures the international community, Nigeria’s democratic institutions and the general public, of its unalloyed loyalty to the President Commander in Chief, provision of all necessary support for the sustenance of our democracy and carrying out our constitutional roles. Therefore, the apprehension by the Deputy President of the Senate should be totally disregarded.

5. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

News also broke today of a list of choice properties that the Deputy Senate President allegedly owns in Dubai, London and Florida which may be cause for corruption investigation and prosecution if Nigeria’s anti-corruption agencies deem it necessary

These are definitely not the best of times for the Senator Ekweremadu

Boko Haram finally speak on abducted 110 Dapchi schoolgirls
dailypost.ng Mar 5, 2018 10:59 AM

Aisha Wakil, better known as “Mama Boko Haram”, has claimed that the insurgent group have contacted her, confirming they have in their custody the abducted 110 Dapchi school girls.

The Musab al-Barnawi faction of the sect, is suspected of being behind the kidnap of the students.

Wakil was a member of the Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of Security Challenges in the Northern region, set up by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

In an interview with NAN, she stated that the abductors confirmed to her that the girls were safe and in good condition.

“They are even the ones that called me, and said Mama we heard what you have said and told me that they are with the girls and they are going to release them.

“I begged of them and said please let this not be another 1,000-plus days of Chibok girls, and they laughed and said no.

“I asked them where I can come and stay with them (girls) for two days, but they did not say anything.

“I can assure Nigerians that so far they are with my son Habib and his friends; Habib is a nice guy, he is very nice boy. He will not harm them, he will not touch them, and he will not kill them.

“He is going to listen to us, and so far he indicated interest that he loves peace. And I love them for that and believe what they said on this.

“They will definitely give us the girls. All I am begging Nigerians is to calm down, be prayerful, everything will be over in God grace,” she said.

I was given some drugs which I have broken off for a while now. I engaged in exercise and diet. The problem is that doctors are not considering the fact that I panick at the hospital. Should I continue their drugs or manage myself as I do? My organs have been severally certified OK though I have the history of HBP.

AutoReportNG:
'N’ or ‘Neutral’ is a gear in the cars with an automatic gearbox? Have you ever thought about the functions of this neutral gear? Most people have never had a reason to use it while some drivers don’t even know when and how to use it. Well, it has some unique functions and can even save your life too in critical conditions.

Use of Neutral Gear in Automatic Transmission Car

Shifting to the neutral gear in an automatic transmission will cut off the connection between the engine and the wheels. So, no power will be transmitted to the wheels when you press the pedal. This allows the wheels to rotate freely without drawing much action from the engine, but you will still have some control over the car.

Shifting to the neutral does not do much harm except for putting a bit strain on the brakes when your intention is to stop the vehicle. However, dong it frequently for a long time could damage the torque converter.

When to Use the Neutral Gear

There are several occasions when selecting this gear will come handy. Let’s take a look:

Stop a car with a stuck throttle

Think of cruising through the highway at a great speed and suddenly discovering that you have a stuck throttle! Scary, right? Pushing the brake might not be enough to stop the vehicle since the speed is high. In that case, the safe bet is to move the gear to Neutral and use the brake to park safely.

Switching off the engine is not the safest solution since it will cut the power to the steering, making it impossible to stop the car without any damage.

Safe parking during a brake failure

People mostly respond to a brake-fail by killing the engine. It’s a wrong choice since it will leave you with no control over the steering wheel. Besides, it can even lock the wheel mechanism, making the situation more dangerous. Shifting to the neutral gear will help you toggling between the lanes and park somewhere safe.

During towing the car

Putting the vehicle in Neutral during towing is not the ideal way to do it. However, you don’t have any choice when the towing company does not have a tow dolly. The neutral gear will help in keeping the engine on and transmission damage minimal.

Frequently Asked Questions about Neutral Gear

The gear actually does not have much use other than helping in stopping the car in some critical situations. Check out the FAQs to clear your confusion:

Is There Any Disadvantage of Using the Neutral Gear?

The only downside is that you will have less control over the car. To overcome it, you should practice running the car in that gear mode. It may save your life in some emergencies.

Does It Save Fuel?

Well, it’s just a myth. It has nothing to do with fuel efficiency since the engine is still running at Neutral. So, most vehicles will use the same amount of petrol in the idle state.

Is Driving in Neutral Dangerous?

Yes, it could be. You should not abruptly shift to that gear when you are driving on a highway at a great speed, except for emergencies. It drastically slows down the car and cuts down many wheel functions, which may cause accidents.

I think there 's something seriously missing in your write up. The neutral is strategically located so that you can put the engine to rest when the car is stationary and the engine is running eg in heavy traffic. That way the load the gear levies on the engine would have been cut off. That way you save yourself some fuel, if you are not deciding to put off the ignition, and you have less stress on the engine. This is the first aim of neutral part of the gear.

she must have got that from an igbo language expert. This is purely Igbo izugbe the academic version of Central igbo language not the cut and join the youths of these days speak. Okay look at the mistake in Uzo's response- "Ina asu igbo?" do you speak igbo language? 'Ina asu' should have been written 'ina-asu' showing a word preceding a verb. Who even know all these rules now?

So a hotel in Uganda is looking for employees and decided to send this advert to the newspaper.

My question here is; since when did skin color become a job requirement in a Country where the people are as black as coal?"

https://contriman.com/showthread.php?tid=4543

the number of white people in East African countries is quite amazing. To get a local food in Tanzania, they said I must have to drive several kilometers into the hinterland else I will make do with continental dishes, Indian and Chinese cuisines. The was almost 60% whites looking quizzically as I marched in. I spent 120,000 shillings just for some Chinese stuff I bought for myself and my colleague from Malawi and his girlfriend. They were so delighted. When I checked my balance from the alert cos I withdrew from ATM, the naira equivalent, I had just spent 13,000naira and a fraction.
The amazing thing is that their culture in the cities have been eroded by the white presence. They are just serfs to the absolute comfort of the near white majority. The most worrisome is that they bar man at the bar on the other side was begging me to pay with dollars.

In Nigeria the degree could be purchased

He's from Senegal and I'm Nigerian. African brothers and we called our corner on campus "the hood". They knew us together as we did almost everything together. The difference between us was that he was boxed up, He was gainfully employed while I was getting funding from home. He had narrated his escapades with white chics who he said he slept with in turns. He would chat me up each time one of them left his room on campus. For one Indian girl, he said was ugly but he used her to cool off.

I came to class one morning and he said he forgot his wallet at the Cafeteria the previous night, that he had approached the attendants but no trace of the wallet. I suggested we look other places which we did to no avail. The next day, an attendant in same Cafeteria called him that she saw the wallet inside a drawer near her counter. We all celebrated the news especially when nothing was lost.

Days after, I noticed people started avoiding me in the class. I first tagged it racism as majority of the people that would avoid my company were whites, of course they were majority in the class, but why me of all the black dudes? I developed thick skin until one night, I was sitting on the lawn drinking some wine I bought with a meal ticket I got from a friend. Same Indian lady that my nigga described as a sex machine sighted me from a distance and called me that she was coming.

My nigga had traveled to NY to regularise his leave, he worked with UN. "Naima later joined me sharing in my red drink." why did you steal Markely 's wallet? ". My whole being froze. My guy had gone to tell everyone that I was the person that took his wallet and that when I noticed he was seriously searching for it, I returned it to the Cafe. He went ahead to describe Nigerians as criminals because he had a lot of Nigerian friends at the UN. I called him and he said he was passed off by my "act" that I should have told him I needed money, and that he was going to tell me all these when he's back to campus. Which act and why would I steal your money? and the line went dead.

I immediately divulged all he told me about the Indian girl and how her back side always reminded him of truck drivers that sit long hours while driving. And that he slept with her however he liked. For other girls, I got their numbers and sent them their own messages. I also sent his chats not only on the girls but a fake medical lie he told to get a resit in an exam he missed. That I sent to the Admin officers.

Apart from disciplinary measures from. Schools, there was an immediate gang up to deal with my guy. I did not know how the news reached him. He did not come back to campus till the end of our Programme. He sent fake medical report again and was given an extra year to clear himself. Till date, he hadn't completed his Programme.

Former Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is currently the brunt of online jokes after he shared a snap of his feet online.

The Olympic athlete, while watching the Super Bowl, shared a photo of himself with his feet up, close to his TV, but everyone's attention went to his dry feet instead of the game playing on TV.



Usain Bolt

Social media users are now dragging him and telling him to do something about the state of his feet.

See reactions below.

For Bolt to perform such world wonders, his feet must be half antelope, half human. And he must not nourish the feet to be completely "out of form". Not kidding about this. I am a close friend to his brother.

It was the 3rd day and Owen has not had any bowel movements (defecated). I placed a call to the family doctor who said I should not bother bringing him but prescribed some medicine which I quickly bought. All to no avail, going to the fourth day. I was planning a visit to the general hospital when my wife called her mum who made her own suggestion. The boy was really in pains of some sort. He stopped sucking and snorts aloud at interval as if he's breathing his last.
My mother-in-law's suggestion was that we should dab menthol (rob) on cotton bud and administer the menthol with the cotton bud into his anus.
It was like magic! What came out smelt worse than a rotten egg. I with my wife watched with utmost glee, coming cover to watch the substance being exuded and savoring the moment with the best fragrance we ever had. The best smell we ever perceived with thanks to God Almighty.
