thoth: Being an ally of china or russia actually will only give you time, the interpretation of friendship between these two countries are somehow odd.
NK is a special case because china would have much to loose if NK ever falls. You should know this that nomatter how mean the sanctions bite on Korea china would not help but once it is war time china would NEVER abandon North Korea.

Yes u r right, China will suffer a refuge crises should NK fails. China will not abandom NK bt will nt stand inline if NK strikes first.China will not join in a stupid NK war that will jeopardize her new found growth and prosperity.All they will do is to preach that all sides show restrain from the sidelines as they have always do. I know China will do everything possible to restrain Nk from launching the first attack bt my fear is will NK listen? China advised them against these latest nuclear test and they went ahead. They are also not happen with China's involvement in this latest sanctions.

But i still dnt think NK will be foolish to launch the first attack,its just all rhetoric.

Saintp: Let me tell some people here that are to emotional in thier analysis.

There would neva be a direct confrontation among US,China or Russia. These guys are very sensible and will neva push things to the edge cos the understand that a war between them will set them back by 50 years. So the only thing they can do is accusation and counter accusation and protests.

For those of u thinking China will stake thier head for North Korea, did u watch the interviews with chinese diplomats after the korean nuclear test? Please watch it. China is getting fed up with NK and she drafted this latest sanctions with the US. Previuosly China will abstain from voting or try to water down the resolutions bt not anymore.

The only thing china fears is the influx of refugees to its borders should they north collapse and a nuclear debris that may likely stray to its borders should thier be a nuclear war. Remember NK is not as advanced in precision as the world powers, a nuclear missile could stray away from its intended target. So china is not safe .

Make no mistake, NK is of no benefit to China. NK accounts for only less than 5% of trade between them. So they can do without them.

If i were NK leaders, i will learn from China. Pursue economic power first and military power will follow. Look at south Korea making waves with her brands all over the world. Hyundai,kia,samsung,Daewoo etc.

Sorry for the breakage. Most times i want to beleive that China is not doing well for its Allies compare to how American allies are progressing. China shld try and open up her allies to compete with American allies economically etc.

This is why i'm begining to hate the game and will soon move to other sports. Everything and everybody involved in football are all liars,cheats and hyprocrites.The players, coaches, refs, fans etc. When it happens 2 ur team, ur analysis becomes different, people who supported or didnt support this red card will change their views if it were the other way round. Look at Fergie screaming blue murder, will he have done the same thing if it was the other way round? He would have said its part of the game or even said its a red and justify it. Look at Murinho trying to justify it, its d same morinho dat scream blue murder when he looses one man against Barca whether deserved or undeserved.

Chelsea fans will support the card why? because it is man utd. When it is Chelsea on d recieving end, man utd fans will see nothing wrong with the decision. When it is Barca, anti barca will support a wrong decision, when its madrid, anti madrid will support d decision.

Somebody was talking about Toress red card. Everybody in the world knows dat was a bad decision whether Utd fans agree or not. Then must u support the Nani's red simply becos its a payback?

For Goodness sake, This game is not fair anymore and its not making sense. Only very few people drop sentiments when watching football these days. Support the game and be fair whether its barca, chelsea , Man U, Real.etc

vivian chinaza: Ok, let's do this, let me tell u 3 real life stories that happened around me. Btw, I wasn't talking about pregnancy cos that no one has control over.

The first story goes like this; a lady I know very got born again and started going to church, met a brother in the church, the 'holy spirit' directed them to get married. As the church doctrine, se..x wasn't allowed neither was visiting the guy alone as the guy had a post in the church bla bla bla...... Fast forward, after much prayers they got married. But something happened on the wedding night, it turned out the this guy's joystick was extremely big that the lady cried all through the love making, according to her. The next day, she ran back to her pastor who counselled her to endure, that sex wasn't that important in marriage. But deep down in her, she knew that there was chance in hell that she would live and endure such pains for the rest of her life. She went home, talked to the parent and filed for a divorce. Just after one night!

The second story goes like this; a guy married a girl, yea the same no sex rule was applied bla bla bla...... Fast forward to the wedding night, he found out that he couldn't make love to his wife without a tissue because of the excessive fluid that oozes out of this lady's body. They are still married anyway but the man cheats and the woman is aware that her husband cheats. You can imagine the emotional punishment.

The third story goes like this; the couple were very normal but they didn't connect sexually. Se.x for them became a chore. The guy was my colleague in the office, so one day he opened up to me, I felt so sorry for him. He felt stuck in the marriage as he couldn't cheat like other men do,,,,,, this crack started affecting the foundation of their marriage. A lot of issues started coming up and today they are no more a couple.


There are a lot we don't know too, if only the couples with speak up. But with the rate of adultery I have seen in the church these days, I simple make deductions myself.

There are so many things I'm gonna taste a guy for o from the connection to the size of his joystick, yea I said it to how compatible we are, is he a 10sec man or a 3hours man? Does he have silly habits that I can't stand?

Se..x comes with a lot of emotion, at least for me. Its either I hate u after the act, or I love u more. *yea, it does not happen to only guys, it happens to ladies as well* And this is a chance I'm not willing to take . Like I said before, u can call it whatever u like. Vivian is not a good girl that plays by the rule

I understand u very clearly. U took dat decision cos u want 2 secure ur future. Good as it sounds bt may i remind u dat its still nt a gurantee for good se..x life in future. We hav also seen guys who where monsters in bed be4 marriage bt became 1 min men after marriage and vice versa. Such is d irony of life.So u dnt hav 2 take ur future into ur hands alone by blantantly disagreeing wit d bible.Think abt it.
My worries wit dis generation is dat we sin against God without any REMORSE and JUSTIFY our sins using our own quack wisdom. I know i'm nt even qualified 2 say dis,i'm also guilty of fornication,however, we must rise up 2 d truth, sex before marriage is fornication and according to d bible it is a SIN. We can ask God for forgiveness instead of justifying it.

vivian chinaza: Nigerians and their stupid ways of calling whoever that do not agree with their views name. Baby, you are the one that's so cheap by tagging yourself.

You did not make this rule, God did. Marriage is undefiled, I agree, and whosoever breaks that commandment, sins against God just like every other sin. So going by the bible's standard that a sinner is filthy before him, he did not say forn..i..cation alone, it includes every other sin. So u have no right to call whoever that is having se..x cheap cos u are not having sex, its a personal decision.

Come to think of it, a virgin is anyone whose unclothedness has not been seen by an opposite sex and who hasn't had se....x, but a lot of our virgins are experts at giving BJs and all that, *let me not even go into that*

I'm not against virgins, they don't fascinate me either, I can't fathom why someone else's decision not to have se..x should. But I will NEVER marry a man I have not had sex with,,,,yea I said that. I have actually heard a lot of people say se..x is not important in marriage, especially church people but they lie big time. If se.x and sexua.l connection and compatibility is not important, why are there so much adultery in the house of God? Even the pastors are not left out?

Come to think of it, the bible even gave an exception for engaged couples to have sex provided they marry each other.

Whether bibles justifies it or not, I'm never gonna a man I have not tasted. call it whatever u want, I don't give a rat's azz about ur opinion. Let God judge me.

u r testing ur guys cos u want 2 be sure d will satisfy u after marriage rite? why do we like deliebrately challenging God? do u know dat though he is good in bed now, his dick can go dumb 2months after marriage? wot will u do? let me tell u a real life story. A guy told d church dat his wife must get pregnant be4 wedding n d church said d will nt be part of it, dis guy said 2 hell wit d church n got wedded in anoda place wit his pregnant babe. few months after, d lost d baby after 2 days of delievery n since then d wife is yet 2 get pregnant again. it is now 5yrs. d guy is now confused.
plz lets stop deliebrately challenging God. it could be dangerous.

This is a case of our world going from bad to worse. For the fact dat people now sin against God without remorse shows hw bad things have become. Sex outside marriage is a sin, its nt something to be proud of.

Sex was designed 4 two married people. It is b becos we hav nw embraced sin as a culture dat is why we are nw talking abt sexual experience acquired from different people. Are u nt suppose 2 get ur experience from ur wife or husband alone after marriage?

Imagine a world where everybody sticks to only one sexual partner all thier life,dis problems will nt arise. This satisfaction problem is as a result of so much comparison between sexual activities with diff people cos d would yield diff results

I'm nt a virgin and i'm nt proud of it. I wish i was. Please lets stop glorifying immorality.

I dont know why Nigerians dont like facing reality. Always looking for where to put blames instaed of comfronting their problems head on. They say its CPC, its ACN, its PDP, its Buhari now its CIA.

Guys, there will always be conspiracy theories, both pro and anti- Americans will believe what they want to believe based on how thier minds have been conditioned.

My Stand: Fellow Nigerians, Shun these consiparcy theories, Our problem is not CIA, it is US.

I cant beleive some guys are anti virgin. is it not someone like you disvirgined that one that is good in bed you want to marry? Is it that u guys cant disvirgin a lady? I dont understand this anti virgin sentiments among guys. So u guys now like girls dat have slept with many guys and when they start comparing you with other guys, u start complaining.

As for me, though marrying a virgin is not a do or die bt i'll not reject a true love cos she is a virgin. Its beta for me to teach her to become a monster in my bed than marrying someone who might have slept with an arm robber, ritualist, herbalist, mad man, father, cousin, lecturer,etc during her sexual excapades.

Dont get me wrong, virginity is nt d only thing dat qualifies a lady or dat determines a succesful marriage, i'm jus responding to the topic.

earthgreeners: u gat d point, right?....all d best.....
Which school?

Yeah i got the point. Tanx. The school is Univ of waterloo. Seems i'm the only one that applied to that school. I've nt heard anybody in this thread mention that school.

lol @ earthgreeeners, dat ur bros got me . hahaha

Adexhat: @Saintp, congrats 4d full scholarship if u have it. I also av full scholarship covering ALL my expenses, but i include a sponsor (uncle) though i dont know if its needed. To be on safe side(cos we really dont know wat ds VOs ar up to) i'll advice u add one

Thank you. I dont have one now bt i'm expecting . Jus want to start preparing so it dosent take me by surprise. Did u submit ur own account statement, if so hw much? I can save up to 700k be4 the time for the application and i also have a car valued at 750k which can be sold to beef up the account. But i want to really know if its neccessary for someone on full scholarship.

Plz guys,

What amount should you have in your account if you get a full scholarship and want to apply for visa? Do you also need a sponsor if you have a full scholarship? I mean if ur scholarship covers all ur expensis during your stay.

Hi house,

is there any body that has applied to the university of waterloo for september admission? How long is the waiting time and what are the chances for admission and scholarship?

Nigerians na waa,

He talks about GEJ, you compalin of hipocrisy, he talks about his master OBJ, u still complain. If he had praised OBJ, you will still complain. What the hell is wrong with people of this days. Should he not talk at all?

taharqa: You are terribly, terribly terribly WRONG; just cud not overlook dis... I SUPPORT GEJ cos I bliv in his programmes, and frankly also cos of d UNREASONABLE virulent criticism (really, Hostility) of a few of his critics basd entirely on hatred and/or political/ethnic sentiments. I realise though that MOST of d peeps who criticize the govt and GEJ do so cos they really want d best for themselves and Nigeria esp afta bn lied to for a very long time and cos sm of dem rili bliv for good reasons that if they begin to praise GEJ's govt now, he may not perform again- I honestly undastad that and in fact support it. I love d way MOST of us, esp d Youths, are now more ENGAGE- which is what I personali always wantd. However, there are dis tiny set of people whose aim for virulent, completely unhelpful criticism is fuelld primarily by d quest to acquire POWER and a strong sense of HATE towards d PERSON of d President and they wud stop at nothing to get at him including employing PROPAGANDA; if you followd me here on NL, those are d persons I 'detest' and tackle wit little patience and I mk no Apologies about that. I criticize d govt at times, though not as much as I wud like to Or as I hv always done to previous govt, cos of these twigs; I howeva completely support constructive criticisms and d esp new ENGAGEMENT by very many youths these days asking questns, as long as they are done FAIRLY and the ONLY PURPOSE IS THE FURTHER PROGRESS OF THE NATION and not sm narrow selfish interest..

Thank you. You made sense unlike ifihearam who was amking a fool of himself when i did not direct the question to him. I notice there are three groups of people on this site when we talk of the president.
1. People who dont like the president and will never appreciate him or whatever he does even if he does any good thing that worths commendation.They are they die-hard anti- GEJ
2. People who are blind follwers of the president. The will support and defend him even if he commits genocide. Everything is good with the president.Anybody who says otherwise is a fool.They are they die hard pro- GEJ
3. People who remove sentiments in thier analysis. The bash the president when they feel he goofed and they applaud him when he makes the right move. They are not pro or anti GEJ. All they want is good governance.

But unfortunately , there are few people in group 3 on this site. TOO BAD

@ Tarqha and sincerenigerian,

While do you always defend the govt with so much vigour? I have not seen any post in which you admitted any wrong doing of the govt or you criticise the govt. Are you telling me that this govt is the best? Are u satisfied with the situation of this country? It is people like you that are causing our problems. If GEJ advisers are like you, we will never make any headway cos the president will always hear wot he wants to hear. I jump your post most times cos i already know wot u will say and when i do manage to read it,its always what you are known for.

Sometimes it pays to tell people you love the truth. Most people criticize the govt cos they want him to make ammend and succeed. They want him to prove them wrong.

I have been following this thread with keen interest. What is happening in Nigeria among ethnic groups today is not peculiar to Nigeria but to the Black people all over the world. Go to Kenya, Rwanda,Ghana etc, it is one tribe against the other. This is a black man disease. Even in Europe and America,everything is racism even when it is not because our minds have been condition with division.

Let me tell you all,division of the country is not even the solution because it will continue.The only thing that will happen is that new enemies will be created.This is when you will see the real division in yoruba, igbo, Niger delta etc That is when you will know that Oyo people will be shouting marginalization against the Ogun, Osun and Ondo will quarel, Ananmbra and Imo will start, Abia and Enugu etc. The division starts again in another form. The cycle continues. Do you think Ghana, Kenya etc are united? Forget it.

The only soulution is for blacks to look beyound skin clour, language , tribe etc and pursue development in science, technolgy and other things beneficial to mankind, then we will not even remember we dont speak the same language.

@ Ifegy

Thank you very much.

Princess1982: I can see people not liking the US I really can but have the US not played big brother to the world? The US alone is it not the biggest contributor of aid in Africa? Our government and our citizens send more aid to Africa then any other country in the world. I for one think the US should sometimes mind their own business when it come to foreign affairs but how could one turn a blind eye when corrupt leaders are starving their citizens? North Korea is spending millions on weapons and their people are starving and in poverty thats why if our military have to envade North Korea's innocent will welcome us with open arms.

I tell people to wait till China becomes the world's only super power and lets see how they handle power. In my view, while the US has its own excesses ( Other Nations also do) i still believe they have done more positives to the world than negatives.Remember every nation has her own selfish interests. Jus because of an Island row with japan, see how chinese citizens with thier govt backing destroyed everything japan from Honda to toyota to electronics on the streets in broad day light. Can Americans behave like that? The US will go down eventually and China will take over then you will see brutality.Its just a matter of time. Chinese neigbours can testify how chinese rule will be like.

Many people are just taking unnecessary sides in this issue. But let me tell you guys, war will NOT benefit anybody both the Americans, Chinese etc. The best thing is to avoid war.

China is an emerging superpower in terms of military though they are a super power economically. At this stage, a war between China and the USA without a nuclear weapon will hurt China more than the USA. What the will rely on is thier ICBM deployment against the US which can be defended with a good interceptor system (Not 100% Proof). China is still in its early stage of miltary ascension. They cannot project military power far outside thier shores now. They are still building thier homeland defence capabilities.China just got thier 1st aircraft carrier from re-work old soviet union ship.

USA is still the only country that can project military power to your door step,they have so many infrastucture that can take care of this. They have war ready base in Guam which is 40 mins to China by F22 raptor, major presence in Asia Pacific, Gulf etc. making it possible for them to take war outside thier homeland which will reduce the impact on thier soil. Infact,US has long moved from defence to offense.

The only serious option for china against the US now is to involve nukes in any war with US. But remember that will be MAD(Mutual Assured Destruction). China is not ready to engage the US now. What they are doing is to make sure that US cannot come to the aid of its allies like Taiwan should Taiwan try to declare a formal indepence from China. That is why they are developing what they called "Carier Killer" to push US aircraft cariers far from thier shores.However, these things have not been put into use so there are potentials for miscalculations.

This is what is on ground now but over the next decade, China will definetly match the US, the ascension is already on.

Guys, plz lets pray for peace and not war cos it would affect every body.

Hello Everyone,

I have read through this thread from the first page to the last, i must say this is one of the best threads i ve seen on this site. Kudos to Fhemmy and co for making this thread great.

I want to know if someone on a taught masters(1 year self sponsored masters) can also get the 3 years work permit given to research masters guys(2Yrs masters) after graduation? Can that person also proceed to get a PR and maybe citizenship later in life? How many years Visa will they give the person on a taught masters?

How easy is it for someone on PG studies to bring his wife to canada? Is is possible during studies or after studies in case of a taught or research masters?

Thanks for your response.

I have scanned it earlier and got a code 9208 which i dnt understand. The accelaration from a total stop is okay, my prob is the acceleration from a partial stop when braking from a top speed. Example, when u are on a top speed and suddenly had to apply little brake, to accelerate at that point becomes a problem otherwise it runs fine when it picks up speed.

Auto gurus, i have a problem.

my 99 camry finds it difficult to accelerate from stop especially when i brake while on speed and try to accelerate again, it becomes sluggish until after sometime it picks up speed again. my mechanic says my gear is d problem and he can work on it. Pease what do u think Auto gurus.Plz advice as usual. Tanx

what is d cost of 2004 nissan altima tokunbo engine and auto gearbox? do u have in in stock? wot is d cost of d front and back shock absorbers?

Guys, I am planning to buy a 2003/2004 Altima. I like d ride alot but this Nissan negative publicity in this country is giving me concern. How can i buy another toyota whem my 99 camry interior makes me sad. Apart from 2008 camry and newer which i cant afford now, i dont just like toyota camry,corolla interiors, its not worth it for the price. How does the spare cost for 2004 Altima when comparing with 2004 Camry? Higher , lower or the same?What of reliabilty, durability? Just confused seriously. I just cant decide. Guys help.

centje: Ok dear,for now i can only work with these information you have given me. More information is need to adequately know what is wrong so i will advice you to go back to the doctor,or let another doctor see you or visit a teaching hospital if the one you have bn visiting is a private.

From the information you have given,there are two most likely possibilities...

(1)a*nal fissure...its a kind of tear or ulcer of the anus
(2)haemorroid...this also called pile

In addition to the advice i gave above
*continue the diet you're on...vegetable,fruits,adequate water,etc these will keep your stool soft and also provide roughage for easy passage of stool

*exercise...better daily.

*when defecating,try and take your time. Relax,dnt try to strain,you can go into the toilet with newspaper.

*put a good quantity of salt and anticeptic (like dettol) into a bowel of warm water(warm enough not to burn you and the salt should be put to the point of tasting very salty). Then unclad and sit inside the bowel of warm water(that is your b*utt inside the warm,well immersed) for about 30mins. Do this daily or two times daily. For the next two or three weeks. Its called sitz bath.

Please visit a General surgeon for more elaborate history of your problem,proper diagnosis and further care.

Sorry,i pray you get well soon.

tanx so much,the doctor told me about the sitz bath though i ve not taken it serious. i'll start it now.

@ Op,

Did you grow up lonely without parents? Where you adopted?Did u grow up in a family where parents were cat and dogs? Even if you were, u can still give your kids a sweet home. They must not suffer emotionally and pshychologically like you did.

I grew up with my parents in a very sweet home with so much love and care and i cant imagine bringing a child into this world without giving him/her a sweet family to grow and enjoy like i did, that would be wickedness.

What you need to do is to find your own wife(not jus any woman) build a happy home together with your kids. Its very possible.
Some of the problems we face in the society today could be traced to improper upbringing of kids. when a child grows in a disjointed home and start behaving like a monster tomorrow, it would become your fault.

Forget about this modern day pervasion of everything or the urge of living in a free world, plz do the right thing.

centje: There are alot of conditions that can give such pain and bloody stool. Supply me with these information...
How old are you? When did this start? Does the pain come only when your defecate? Do you notice the blood before,during or after stooling? Does the blood splash? Are you losing weight? Have you visited a hospital?

Thank you. I have a kind of boil on my anus close to the hole. it is soft and not painful, it has been there for a long time. I went to the hospital, Doctor called it haemorrid(Dont know if i got the spelling right) and said its not an ordinary boil, it's an out growth and it poses no problem and i should live it since its not paining me. Six weeks ago i started having a serious difficulty going to toilet, i called constipation. During that period,i had to start taking more fluids,vegetables and drugs. After some time it stopped.

However, no matter how soft my stool is, i still feel pains passing it out till today. If it were to be injuries sustained on the anus during that period of forcing the stool out,i expect it to have been healed (Its over 6 weeks)but i still feel much pains and see blood on the tissue when i'm cleaning up.

I dont know if there is a relation between the haemorroid and this? Though i dont think so cos i have had that haemorroid for over a year now without pains. My stool is okay now but i still have difficulties passing it out due to pains.

cretin: the average naija mechanic doesnt understand how to repair the faults of maxima..so run..y dont u try 2003/2002 avalon?..its toyota too

But Avalons come with V6 Engines and it seems its a premium car hence higher cost of maintenance.

Autogurus, i really need your honest input in this, plzzzzzzzzzzz
