Thank you Sir!

Funny/troublesome Man.

I think the color of envy is green; what do you think?

(Borrowing from Bassey Okon of “Village Headmaster” fame, “[b]Sometime self this one no wel[/b]l.” This thing who thinks smashing eggs after drawing on them makes better scrambled eggs; also wants to throw stones. Nna wa O!)

"let sleeping dogs lie."

As my folks say, “water don begin pass gari,” for here!  Please let’s concentrate on telling me the best way to prepare moi moi; and leave pettiness such as who can spell English words better, or who is jobless.

Nairaland should be a fun place for positive encouragement; not childish utterances.  Focus on moi moi, and let sleeping dogs lie.

ThiefOfHearts:
Lmao @ Ivey
Your sister sounds jobless. Hope you pay her unemployment recession fees for "flying out to make moimoi"

Thanks. Everyone deserves a caring sibling. I doubt she will be willing to accept compensation, but I will try. She is wealthier than most people, and has already StolenMyHeart (lol).

command 2:
sorry what is bulk forming lactatives?

Dear Command 2;

Please forgive me; I am the one who should apologize for using a jargon.

Bulk-forming laxatives are agents that absorb water into the intestine, which increases bulk, distending the bowel to initiate reflex bowel activity and promoting a smooth bowel movement (the emphasis is on smooth). Bulk-forming laxatives act in a manner similar to that of dietary fiber.

Examples of bulk forming laxatives are psyllium, polycarbophil, and methylcellulose. Your personal physician will be able to recommend, which bulk-forming laxative is appropriate for you.

Bulk-forming laxatives are composed of water-retaining (hydrophilic) natural and synthetic cellulose derivatives. Psyllium is an example of a natural bulk-forming laxative, and methylcellulose is an example of a synthetic cellulose derivative.

Please bare in mind that bulk-forming laxatives will not work without increased fluid intake and can complicate constipation. And, you must take measures to reduce causes of constipation, which is an important underlying reason for rectal prolapse. Such measures include: 1) watch for adverse drug effects from drugs such as analgesics, iron supplements, aluminum and calcium antacids, and opiates. 2) mind your lifestyles such as proper bowel movement habits (ex. avoid voluntary refusal to defacate; diet (poor fluid intake and excessive consumption of low-residue (roughage) foods; make sure that you have proper exercise; and reduce psychological factors such as stress and anxiety. And, 3) adequately treat metabolic and/or endocrine disease if you have any -- for example diabetes mellitus.

Be sure to take a bulk-forming laxative as directed by the manufacturer with at least 240 mL (8 oz) of water. Note that long term use of laxatives often results in decreased bowel tone and may lead to dependency. Be honest with your health care provider regarding your dietary habits, fiber and fluid intake, and elimination patterns. If you are experiencing nausea, vomiting, and/or abdominal pain, please do not take any laxative. While taking bulk-forming laxatives, if you experience severe abdominal pain, muscle weakness, cramps, or dizziness; it may indicate possible fluid or electrolyte loss, please see your physician immediately.

However, I am begging you: Please go see a surgeon! The complications of rectal prolapse are not a joking matter. The ligaments and muscles that hold your rectum in place need to be surgically tightened. All other measures of treating rectal prolapse at your stage (change in lifestyles, diet, drugs, et cetera), are at best palliative!

Is there any but Allah the God and Lord Creator, alone? I now welcome you to start your questioning, and Allah willing they will be answered, honestly and directly.
======================================================


I don’t fully understand why you ignore the myths of your forefathers and cling to the myths of Middle Easterners. The inescapable fact is that before Israel or Saudi Arabia, we were! Why should the myths of these people take precedence over your African myths?

Is there any but Allah the God and Lord Creator, alone? You ask? I am an atheist just like you! If you fully understand the reasons you reject all the other 21 or even 100 possible Gods; you will understand why I reject yours.

The East has turned knowledge into religion; the West has turned knowledge into power; maybe Africa will someday turn knowledge into life!

bintab:
I guess you are requesting information about CGFNS i.e .Yes they have centers for the exam. both in Abuja and Ghana,it is consider a pre -requist to best of my knowledge.you will also be required to take the TOEFL,This may (not definitely) qualified you for a working visa in USA.You are required to take the NCLEX examination when you arrived the STATES before you are licensed to practice nursing.Requirements of each states differs many Nigeria trained nurses opts for florida,texas and califonia. You can visit CGFNS.ORG for more information about their fees and exams schedule.i hope this help,all the best.

Bintap may be absolutely right. I am not a nurse and I have never even heard of a CGFNS. So, please go with her. I only know that when I hire nurses who are not from the U.S., I require that they realize they can’t just practice nursing because they were nurses back home. Once they have their state Board certification; my attorneys clear their immigration status immediately and without any problems. That is the extent of my very limited knowledge. I let the attorney guys handle all the paperwork. Good luck.

I LV U:
doc, this problem has made me to socially isolate myself and i'm becoming seriously depressed and lost interest in life all because of this uncomfortable and embarrassing feelings caused by this unpleasant odour. kindly assist with advice as to what i can do to get rid of this. please!

I empathize with you and I am saddened by your embarrassment. I strongly suggest that you see a urologist.

In the interim, if you have ascertained that you do not have an infection such as fungal infection (ex. yeast), or sexually transmitted disease, or prostitis (inflammation of your prostate); then there are good chances that your case is natural.

The area around your penis has special sweat glands that release pheromones; this with or without your normal skin flora (microorganisms that naturally reside in your body), causes your penile area to be malodorous. In some men, these glands are superactive. I suggest that you shower frequently, apply baby powder (or corn starch), trim long hair with a sideburn trimmer, and drink at least eight glasses of water a day.

As well, you can use baby wipes to keep the area smelling more neutral if you find yourself in a position where you cannot take a shower.

If the odor persists, however, I strongly suggest you consult a urologist.

Thanks for the correction and please forgive my error: I now stand corrected. To err is human; and if I erred, I erred in good company. Reread what you wrote; it’s error ridden and barely comprehensible. Next time, I promise to proofread an item before posting.

Incidentally, in the United States, you must have a bachelor’s degree before a degree in medicine. It is in fashion for physicians to do combined degrees such as medicine and law; medicine and pharmacy; medicine and bioengineering. You end up with a doctorate in both fields.

ThiefOfHearts:
what jobless person makes a flight just to teach her "brother" how to make moimoi?

A pediatrician with a medical degree from the number one medical school in the U.S., for the past 50 years, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD; a bachelors degree in engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) an Ivy League School; and a Ph.D., in pharmacy from Brigham & Young Medical School, Harvard University, another Ivy League School.  That type of a jobless person, who loves her brother.

Fhemmmy:
As long as it looks like Moi Moi, and smell like Moi Moi, that is good enuf, who defines what »Moi Moi ought to taste like, is there any dictionary that tells us what it ought to taste like, give that to some hungry kids and they will munch it with ease

TOYOSI20:
^^^^yup, . . . . i sooooooo agree!

In a sense you may be right.  However, look at it this way.  I have had moi moi at home and at parties in Nigeria.  I have come to have a subjective sense of what moi moi should taste like (emphasis on subjective).  The moi moi I made just did not match my expectations.

I have been made to understand several things that I did wrong.  Some of them are that: 1) In an attempt to enrich the moi moi, I over enriched it and destroyed the taste. 2)  Many of the ingredients I added were plain wrong.  3) the utensil I used in cooking the moi moi was plain wrong, Pyrex dishes subtract from moi moi taste.  And, 4)  I should probably had learn to crawl before I started walking. 

Nevertheless, my experience has been enriched by my failure; and the numerous invaluable advices that I received in nairaland.  In many ways, my demise has brought laughter to many.  When I told my elder brother about my culinary endeavor with moi moi; he laughed until tears rolled out of his eyes and he almost fell off a stool.  Whereas my brothers thought my attempt was hilariously funny, my sisters were very empathetic.  Bar none, they all volunteered to come from distant places to help.  In all of these, I even ended up making a friend.

In my failed attempt, I have enriched myself and others.  A child may not have know difference in the  moi moi; but knowing the difference has enriched me.

Mm!

Which Mrs. Fanny?

Gamine:
All untop moi moi, weird *smh*

Please what does *smh* mean?

I am her first baby, and she feels for me. After all, she started it (she told me about the bean powder). It is only fair that she finish what she starteed (lol).

My problems will soon be over!

My eldest sister in Bern (Switzerland) highlighted my nostalgia hence the need for moi moi; when she brought to my attention that beans was available in powdered form.  Hitherto, I thought to make moi moi I would have had to soak, peel, and then grind black-eyed peas.  I certainly didn’t have the energy for such tomfoolery. 

She has volunteered to fly over next weekend and show me how to do it.  What will I do without a ‘big’ sister?    I love you sis!

Mr. Koolchicco,

Hopefully, you have received my email. x² plus 4 equal zero, means that x is an imaginary number. Please don’t get anybody started. I am not into any palava. Just respond to my email, and very soon you will be soaking in beer!

I was not certain if it was intended or an error. Thanks, I have replied the email

Born Again!

Are you aware that the phrase “Born Again,” predates Jesus, and exist outside religious context?

Born again likens you to a baby emerging from the womb and implies starting all over. Your aspirations (kingdom of God) maybe sitting on a park bench or becoming a wealthy person: But, whatever it is, you will never achieve it if at all stages you are not willing to revamp (born again).

koolchicco:
Mr. Potu Am yet to see the mail oo.U sure u typed the right add?

I did not type it. I copied and pasted the address. I am about to try again. I noticed that your name was abreviated in the one you sent.

Why do girls have to cook?

Girls have to cook because (naturally, with a few exceptions) they have nurturing in their genes. Getting pregnant and having babies lie in their domain. Nurturing extends naturally from generation to generation of females. There is nothing condescending with cooking. Many good chefs are men.

If you are the exception, don't worry. There are lots of men out there who love to cook and will love to have you for a wife and take care of you. We say they have a lot of feminine side in them; nothing wrong with that.

ab1989:
with the use of food/ nutritional supplements, this problem will be taken care of.
For many people now, it has been discovered that kidney problems responded to some food nutrients/supplements.

Thousands of people with renal failure, especially from the Middle Eastern countries, flood to the United States with millions of dollars seeking kidney transplant. Unfortunately, organ transplant is a much regimented process in the United States. An Arab gentleman offered me $5 million, if I was willing to move his wife to the top of the list. He did not know that politicians may be, but health care professionals are not open to bribery in the United States.

Apparently, these people have not heard of your supplement in Nigeria. Here in the United States, we rely exclusively on dialysis and transplant. Optimal diet and supplements are needed by everybody; not just people with renal failure.

Once your kidney nephrones are dead, nothing the medical field knows of will regenerate them in this lifetime.

@Potu Oh thank you Kind sir! U shouldnt have; However, I accept your peace offerings with many thanks (((hugs))) and @ Koolchicco; I concur. [size=4pt]You see u have gained 17pints, Stick with me kiddo[/size]

wenever i go to use the toilet,once i apply the normal force to escrete thats when somthing redish will shoot out from the anus and at times i bleed,but ordinarily if i dont go to the toilet it dosent show,what kind of drug can i use?

You definitely have rectal prolapse, so the information I already gave you is very adequate.  Forget drugs, surgery is your best bet.  In the interim, eat diet high in fiber and use bulk forming laxatives.  The surgery is very simple and has a very high curative rate.

koolchicco:
Mr. Potu you can now check your mail on the site._cheers!

I have and I have replied.

Thanks

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Pls cn any1 give me info(web addy,phone nos) on d profesional nursing examination which is being done in ghana or nigeria. D exam is for registerd nurses.

If your interest is to practice nursing in the USA, contact Pearson VUE or the Nursing Board of the State you wish to practice. Pearson will provide you with the information on centers and application process.

However, you apply to Pearson through a state nursing board. Any state will do. Oncce you pass the exam in one state you can wave into any other state, and you do not have to re-take the exam. Incidentally, passing the exam automatically gets you a green card because of the serious nursing shortage in the U.S. Starting salary is $60,000 and in some states (Alaska), as high as $100,000.

NCLEX (National Council Licensure EXamination) is an examination for the licensing of nurses in the United States. NCLEX examinations are developed and owned by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. (NCSBN). NCSBN administers these examinations on behalf of its member boards which consist of the boards of nursing in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and four U.S. territories American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and the Virgin Islands. NCLEX examinations are provided in a computerized adaptive testing (CAT) format and are presently administered by Pearson VUE in their network of Pearson Professional Centers (PPC).

My grandfather has problems with kidneys for as long as I know him. . Can kidney problems effect skin? Is there any help there for him? Or will he have to endure it for the rest of his life?
please i need a serious reply,
thanks

Lord Jesus, yes, renal failure can cause intense itching. Excess urea and dehydration are the primary causes of itching in renal failure. Depending on if your granny can tolerate it; the dialysis should be increased to three times a week. If he is a candidate, kidney transplant is an absolute cure.

Otherwise optimal hydration, benadryl topical cream, and a systemic antipruritic that your granny’s physician recommends, may help. Good luck

LadyAnn:
Mr Koolchicco, 1 crate star beer! what do u say

Koolchicco, I will definitely scratch your back and hope you will scratch mine. I am yet to receive the information I requested on your site.

As a peace offering to LadyAnn, I will also send you a crate of beer on her behalf (LadyAnn; how about that for a truce?)

A Tunisian girl went to see her physician. Sobbingly, the girl told her physician, “Dr. I need an abortion. I am pregnant, and I have never done anything.” The physician replied, “Sorry, I am not giving you an abortion.” The desperate girl wanted to know why? The doctor replied, “The first time a virgin got pregnant two thousand nine years ago, I was not around. I definitely want to witness it this time.”
