BigSarah:
Driving takes 1hr 30mins at least the last time I was in Ibadan 2017..local transport cost 1100 or 900 naira....Most train riders would be those interested in photoshoot, since the train doesn't even guarantee early arrival ...
In most countries government trains and buses are meant to aid commute for low earners. Please dont quote me arguing about how comfortable the trains are or how the AC is as cold as Siberia temperature.
Oh well

Politics / Is Kwara State Governor deliberately killing development in Kwara south? by salemdv(m): 11:19am On Dec 06, 2020
A community filled with shadows of its past
An almost empty town with shambles
Derelict, devastated yet alive
An ancient town with almost no government impact or significance.

A tour round Igbonla eju, an ancient town few kilometers from Ajasse-ipo in irepodun local government will have you wondering whether it is indeed good in Kwara State. With the huge hopes and promises of the Otoge mantra, you will be shocked to find a fat level of government neglect in Igbonla eju.

The community which has a predominance of farmers is a shadow of its today. Serving as a gateway to strategic locations such as Esie, Oro, Agbamu, Ajase-ipo, Offa and even Ila-Oragun (in Osun State), Igbonla community can boast of two educational institutions which have been operating partially effective due to efforts and contributions from indigenes; borehole water sources donated by NGOs and an extremely worse rickety road at the verge of notorious ruins.

One wonders, isn’t this the same Igbonla town that was in the news for approval of its road network? Isn’t this Igbonla community that is said to have a state and government approved road construction years ago?

Why is the Community still struggling with worst road network? Why should people loss their lives while using this road? Why should the Community hospital be this empty and abandoned with no single health worker? Why should the secondary and primary school run effectively majorly from community contributions in a democratic setting.

Hon Ajuloopin of House of Representative, Sen. Lola Ashiru of the Senate, Kayode Alabi and AbdulRahman Razaq all travelled to this community during elections to seek for votes. They promised heaven and earth but today, none of the appeal of the community means anything to them. Is Lai Mohammed not Nigeria’s Minsiter of information, Culture and Tourism? Esie museum is just less than 5 kilometers from igbonla town yet the road to this historical museum from igbonla is a mess! Ajasse-ipo is 15 minutes drive from igbonla yet every nook and cranny of Ajasse-ipo boasts of asphalt road.


What has Igbonla done wrong to deserve this level of neglect?


Is it a crime that when the governments (past and present) refused to listen to their cries, they have themselves electricity, built their schools and did almost everything by themselves?
Am I missing something here?

I am scared, government of the day is only interested in photo shots and ops just to be seen as good. I am scared Igbonla and so many other communities are at the verge of ruins by government neglect.

How do you expect people to live in this dungeon? How else can the community get the attention of Governor Rahman after sending letters, videos and pleas? Why should our children and elders die when there’s a health facility waiting for doctors and health practitioners to save lives?

I am starting to believe that there is a deliberate and conscious underdevelopment of communities in important regions for selfish politicization and God knows what!


Why and how will a community as strategic and important like Igbonla have an access road has poor as the road to hell? How do we explain the extremely empty and locked community health center there? What do we say about the weak school structures?

What happened to Igbonla? What happened to Kwara Southerners? Enough of the talks and take the bull by the horn. To prevent your people from further sufferings, you must work hard, strive hard and be interested in community development. You can’t sit in lagos, Kano, US and other big cities supporting political candidates and parties (who end up betraying your trust) without been deliberate on your community’s growth. You have to join politics! You have to lobby for your community! You have support your people! You have to travel home and see what’s happening! You must galvanize efforts and make things work for your community.

Igbonla’s situation is making me weep!
God send down your angels. Yahya Igbonla lived for his people, today he’s long gone and igbonla is in dereliction.

Health / Re: How Smoking Causes Emphysema by salemdv(m): 12:29pm On Mar 06, 2020
Quitting smoking hemp requires some sort of commitment and endurance, you will always have the desire to go back and smoke, but with the commitment and perseverance you may overcome the desire. All you need do for now is

1. Have the desire to stop
2. Stay away from the source and freinds that smoke.
3. Start the process by stopping for 1 month first and see the result.
If you can uphold this you should be able to quit
Health / How Smoking Causes Emphysema by salemdv(m): 11:18am On Mar 06, 2020
Smoking as a lifestyle is one of the most common forms of recreational drug use. Tobacco smoking is the most popular form being practiced by over one billion people globally. Less common drugs for smoking include cannabis and opium. The limited use of cannabis and the opium may in part be due to the rigid laws set by nations in controlling their abuse.
Tobaccos are primarily industrially manufactured as cigarettes but can also be hand-rolled as loose tobacco and rolling paper. Pipes, cigar, bidis, and hookahs are other ways of smoking tobacco.

Generally, smoking harms virtually every organ of the body, causing health problems such us ; (cancers, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, etc.)and in the fullness of time causing premature mortality.

Notwithstanding the dangers, the potential health benefits of timely smoking cessation reduce the future risk of tobacco-related diseases, slows the progression of existing tobacco-related diseases and improves life expectancy by an average of 10years. Quitting smoking can miraculously produce immediate health benefits at any age, regardless of how long one has ever smoked. Although smoking has diverse effects on various organs of the body, this article will particularly dwell on emphysema caused mainly by smoking.

Emphysematous Lungs
https://lifestyleandhealth775832495./?p=393
Emphysema
Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease characterized by abnormal chronic enlargement of the airspaces(alveoli) distal to the terminal bronchioles. The enlargement is followed by the destruction of the structural components of the alveolar wall. It is a slowly progressive disease accompanied by losing of lung’s ability to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Smoking is the leading cause of emphysema.

Generally, emphysema can be classified into 4 groups (Centriacinar, Distal Acinar, Panacinar, and irregular emphysema) depending on the actual location of the lobule where the dilation is occurring. Smoking cessation can dramatically slow the progression of the disease.

Risk factors

Habit of smoking
Exposure to chemical fumes and dust.
Genetic(alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency)...

Health / Urinary Tract Infections All You Need To Know by salemdv(m): 11:12am On Mar 06, 2020
Urinary tract infections, popularly known as UTIs can simply be defined as an infection affecting any part of the urinary system commonly, caused by Escherichia coli, though other microorganisms like viruses and fungi can equally cause. UTIs happen to affect females more than men due to the anatomic position of the urethra.

Generally, the urinary tract is divided into two parts, the upper
urinary tract, and the lower urinary tract. The upper urinary tract is made of the kidney and ureters whereas the lower urinary tract is composed of bladder, prostate, and urethra. Infection to any one of the above-mentioned organs is what is usually referred to as urinary tract infections.

It is worth mentioning that infections at these various sites may occur together or independently and may either be asymptomatic (showing no symptoms ) or symptomatic(showing symptoms ). It is also important to note that the organs which together form the urinary system adopt different names when infected;
Pyelonephritis – infection of the kidney causing the kidneys to swell up(inflammation).
Urethritis – inflammation of the urethra due to infection.
Cystitis – the swelling or inflammation of the bladder as a result of infection....

If the package didn't originate from wuhan, there's no cause for alarm. Just make sure you wash your hand after handling the package, the virus can mostly get into the human body through the oral-olfactory openings not just by touching.

So Tate deserve being a governor after all he did to Ghost and QCP?
What did Ramona do to deserve a career nose dive?
Sax nko? Leading numerous ppl to their death deserves his office? Common!! angry
Tate cancelling the QCP was because james makes his infidelity public.
Ramona was thinking with her heart and was already in love with ghost. And for sax let say he did all that to get ghost. At least one person from the doj office should win and he's the last man standing on that team.

Power is becoming powerless as they stutter to the finale. Predictable and boring. I enjoyed see the Tate brothers. I also laughed watching Cedric the Entertainer play an unhinged hired assassin and the scene with the mutilation even though it was gratuitously violent to show his coldness, that scene was pointless. I am predicting Ramona as the killer, it is a long shot as the supposed leaks are done to misdirect fans. Directors usually shoot a number of endings in the final production.
the leak finale to me is perfect, everybody got what he/she deserve at least.
Tommys own was losing his love and organizations,
Dre... best death possible,
Tasha for sending kanaan to jail and killing him, lakeisha for associating with tasha and her ojukokoro, proctor for snitching.
Tariq deserve a college. Bad parenting and bad influence was the cause of his wayward attitude. Power cast and writer did a wonderful job.

Useful info*

274 universities in China are offering fully funded scholarships for BSc, Masters and PhD studies.

If you are a Nigerian who is interested in studying in China, this is a detailed overview of the processes involved.

*Thread 

You can find the list of Chinese universities involved in this CSC scholarship here

CSC Scholarships | China Scholarship Council | Chinese government ScholarshipsStudy in China on CSC Scholarship offered by China Scholarship Council also called Chinese Government Scholarship. CSC China offering Undergraduate, Master, PhD, exchange program, and Chinese languag…https://www.chinesescholarshipcouncil.com/

. Most universities do not need IELTS or TOEFL, they accept English proficiency letter. Language of instruction in universities can be in English or Chinese language. 

If you select a Chinese-taught program, you will be enrolling a one (1) year language program in China before you start your main program. You must pass the language before you proceed to your main course. 

For MSc and PhD applicants, after selecting the universities you want, enter their website and look for the “Scholarship” tab, click it. When you see “China Scholarship Council (CSC)”, click it to view the programs available offered by the university for the scholarship. 

When you see a program that interests you, the next step is to navigate to the "Faculty Professors or staff" section of each universities website so that you can contact a potential supervisor. Some universities have a direct link that will lead to the complete list of their 

supervisors, they are usually grouped by departments or fields of study. It is advisable to apply to a maximum of three schools. 

After identifying a supervisor, send a mail to them requesting for their supervision. Send to as many professors as possible. Any supervisor that accepts to supervise you will give you an acceptance letter which you will attach to your online applications. 

You can also APPLY without a supervisor’s acceptance letter so don’t let that stop you from applying except in cases where the schools says is mandatory (which most schools don't). Just that having a supervisor’s letter will boost your chances 

but if you don’t see or receive a response, still apply cos you can still get the scholarship. 

As you do this also gather the relevant application documents required by your preferred university. The application requirements and documents needed for most schools in China are very similar. Start the application immediately you get your documents ready. 

You can only certify photocopies of your original certificates. After certification/notarization, you can either upload the certified or the original copy. You can certify your document in a high court in Nigeria. 

After uploading your documents, you will normally be required send some documents to the Chinese university. The list of documents will be shown to you be the Chinese university. Make sure you attach the scholarship application form to the documents you will sending to China. 

Your recommendation letter is also a huge part of your application. If possible, appeal to your referees not to write a generic “To whom it may concern” letter. Beg them to write a detailed recommendation letter for you that shows that they know your strengths. 

If they will allow you, you can write it and give it to them to append their signature and stamp when you write it. Do this if you can. 

You must sign up on the Chinese government website here studyinchina.csc.edu.cn/#/login. Each university participating in this scholarship has an AGENCY NO. Take note of the number of the university you applied to because you will need to add it on the Chinese government website. 

The Agency No tells the scholarship authority the specific Chinese university you applied to. The agency no of each university can be found on the Chinese university’s website. After applying on the scholarship site, print out the application form because you will be sending 

it alongside the application documents required by the Chinese University you applied to. 

Have it in mind that most Chinese universities collect an application fee of about N27k. The list of Chinese universities which do not collect application fees can be found here

List of Chinese Universities Without Application Fee for CSC Scholarship 2019A complete list of Chinese universities without application fee 2019 for scholarships is updated so all international students can apply with ease. Download this list today so you can first apply in …https://scholarshipfellow.com/list-chinese-universities-without-application-fee-csc-scholarship/

These individuals vet all applications submitted and select the qualified applicants before sending their recommendation to the CSC for final approval. 

In summary:

* Apply on the Chinese university website and note their agency No

* Apply on the CSC website, specify the agency no of the university you choosed

* Print out the application form of the CSC scholarship and that of the university too

* Certify your documents at a 

high court in Nigeria

I don't want to send phone to Nigeria please, lets understand what my request here is. My fiance is stuck in china with a bad phone (not bad in itself, but because her phone is 3G only, but the minimum network requirement for China Mobile is 4G), and all available phones in the shops are all Chinese OS without access to google play (If you know anything about Chinese phones, there are always two types: Global Rom that can use Google and Chinese ROM with all the restrictions). That is why I am asking here, just in case we have brethren over there that she can link up with for support in replacing her phone in China with a Global ROM.

If I need a phone I will not come to Nigerian Students in China thread.

Like you said, the motive is to connect, and that is why I am asking here.

If there is anybody in Ningbo, China, please reply. Doesn't matter where you are in China though. If you can help a sister with her phone issues, I'll really appreciate.
she can get a good phones from stores or buy us version of Samsung and iPhone. She can contact me on wechat @saolatunji let me recommend a seller to her.
