Even using commercial route would give u more than 350 per dollar. How do u suppose people would deal with you except you are appealing for this favor


Because official rates will attract extra fees pulling further to 340-350

Zika virus.

Yes it has been around for a while. Before now it was thought that Zika could only be transmitted through the bites of mosquitoes.

Not until this year(2016) that it was discovered to be sexually transmitted.

The fact that it is sexually transmitted changes the dynamics of the disease and how it can be controlled and scientists are still in shock to realize this.
https://www.cdc.gov/zika/transmission/sexual-transmission.html

Look at this headline by National Geographic on August 2016

It's Official: Zika Is a Sexually Transmitted Infection http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/08/zika-florida-travel-sex-cdc/

And this by STD check posted on October 16

Zika Virus Is Now An STD https://www.stdcheck.com/blog/zika-virus-std-sti-sexually-transmitted/

CNN has this on September 11 2016

Zika is an STD: Why are we not calling it one? http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/11/opinions/zika-should-be-called-an-std/


Hey, get off it, there is a new STD in town. I don't know how, but wherever Pastor Adeboye got his prophecy/gist from, is a reliable source.

Health / Re: Does HIV Really Exist ? by sofadj(m): 11:07pm On Dec 13, 2016
frankloloko:
.. They got I'll ? And what kind of illness sir ?
HIV is a virus that attacks the body's defense system. Basically it majorly targets cells that help protect the body by fighting off several infections on a day to day basis.

Once HIV has destroyed these cells to an extent, the body's ability to fight infections becomes compromised hence the person starts having several illnesses that he's ordinarily supposed to be free from.

From tuberculosis, to meningitis, pneumonia, etc.

When it has progressed to this stage is when it is then called AIDS.

At this stage the person can really come down with several hundreds of illnesses.

It is these opportunistic illnesses that kill inn most cases.

Hey, please HIV exists. So does cancer and many other diseases with no known treatment for now. Please stop spreading this falsehood about HIV's existence being a fiction. I am a medical doctor. I have seen hundreds of people die from AIDS both young and old, black and white.

Hey, why do you keep saying you worked in your dad's hospital?
Do you think saying its your dad's hospital will improve your chances of being believed.

If I were you, I would simply say I worked in a hospital as an intern/trainee/whatever. Saying its your dad's hospital just reveals to everyone that it was never really a job - you were just following your popman to work - IMO the VO doesn't need to know this.

What is black Friday?


Is it the day stores trick people to buy things they don't need OR
the day many cheap substandard goods are pushed out to unsuspecting greedy customers OR
the day prices are returned to normal after previously increasing them to make them look like they've become cheaper?


I will start doing black Friday deals when they start giving out those goods freely.

Yes. Politically, there are lots of drama in Nigeria but economically, things are still moving.

Bros its okay if you're trying to be positive or to encourage people, but if you're trying to ignore hardship being faced by majority of Nigerians, that would be insensitive and selfish. Nigeria is going through one of the worst economical crisis in recent history/.

Come and go and teh dem on this thread angry, you think this thread is the real one. It's people like you doing 40km/h on the fast lane that put motorist at risk. angry

https://www.nairaland.com/999283/fastest-speed-ever-driven-car/

"Tell me: how many okada accidents are due to overspeeding? Have you ever wondered why a Formula 1 racecar, driving at speeds of up to 350km/hr can maintain balance without crashingmost times? Even when it does crash the driver rarely suffers more than a few scratches. The simple reason is that the factors of safety have been greatly enhanced in a Formula 1 race.

He is trained to do so.

Danfuster:


The car, the road the driver all operate within a system ofimproved safety and control. Bearing that in mind I don't see anything wrong in travelling <b> 200km/hr </b>on a smooth, straight, longand unobstructed stretch of highway -IFyour engine can deliver and sustain such power.

Oya start listing the highways in any part of the world where it is legal to drive at such speed.
Danfuster:



Lastly, always remember to wear your seatbelt no matter how fast or slow you drive; always pay attention on the road."

Do you know anything about traffic laws? Oh well, nobody obeys laws in Nigeria anymore

Hello guys/ladies,
I'm quite new on this forum and would need some help. Im currently in the middle of an admission process for a Spring 2017 graduate program at Bowie State University in Maryland. My main challenge now is accommodation. I heard accommodation on campus is very expensive and one won't be allowed to stay there when the school is on break. I would appreciate any assistance / advise. I've never been out of Nigeria before.
PS. I'm a married woman with children, though they won't be coming with me.

Thanks


Accommodation is not so much of a big deal. Most Nigerians do not stay in school apartments, you can always get a place off-campus.
Your school should provide means of offcampus apartment, but even if they don't, you can get pple to find for you.

Get admission and VISA first then start worrying about where to stay.
I currently stay in Bowie and may be able to help when you get to that stage.
PS: Bowie State University has plenty blacks and Nigerians. You should be fine. Bowie is a relatively cheap city too.

lastpage:



*How long has Oil price hit $45 since this administration came to power? probably just one month. So, how do you use a value of only one month, to compare with an effect of over one year? If this price remains so with considerable time, then we can judge the Govt based on that price.
You should also factor-in that our production has been considerably reduced due to act of sabotage by the vandals in the S/South and surrounding areas thus, the net income may not be better than when it was actually $28/Barrel

*I agree with you, the Governors, like the LGA Chairs are a bunch of rogues, no different form the GEJ they accuse! They looted the money as well.

But there is a Cliche which says: When the HEAD is ROTTEN, the whole BODY will also be ROTTEN!
Jonathan was the HEAD of Government..... he was very, very rotten in a corrupt way.
His BODY, the Governors and LGA Chairs only took a cue form him and looted away their own share
.

I mean, when you see the head of a family using Drugs, how can he control his children not to be drug addicts?

Now, the HEAD of the current Govt (Buhari) is not rotten (at least until we can nail him), EFFC is not so rotten (at least until we can see otherwise), some Judges are beginning to regain their conscience (while the Crooks are been sacked and held responsible by the Nig. Judicial Council NJC) .... and it is as expected, you wont hear any Governor clamouring for "let us share the booty" as was the National anthem under that Kleptomaniac called GEJ.

[b]So, as the Head is, so will be the Body.[/b]
Its that simple.

Wait...Are you trying to justify some people's corrupt practices by pointing to another person? These guys swore oaths individually remember? Everyone is accountable to his actions.

Family / Re: Will I Ever Get Married? by sofadj(m): 8:25pm On Oct 03, 2016
OP,
You are not ALONE.
Like many ladies/women, you DO NOT know what is needed to maintain a relationship/marriage.
Study your self, find a man who is compatible with you.
By compatibility, I'm talking in terms of your attitude, beliefs and lifestyle.
If you find a man like that, marry him. Period.

Your relationship with your ex probably failed because it lacked
Commitment - You entered into it with trial in your mind. There will be a limit to how much you will want to sacrifice in such circumstance.

Love is not mysterious, it's not magical too as we have been made to believe.
LOVE can grow, COMPATIBILITY can not.

After compatibility comes COMMUNICATION, and COMMITMENT

With these 3 things your marriage will last (Any relationship will, for that matter)

NOTICE I DID NOT INCLUDE LOVE.

Even with LOVE, without these 3 things, any relationship will collapse.
Men and women, choose wisely.
PM me to know more.

Health / Re: My Experience As An Egg Donor by sofadj(m): 1:25am On Aug 26, 2016
You seriously expect to get paid the same amount they pay in US?

You think patients pay the same amount in fertility clinics in Nigeria as they do in US?

When collecting eggs, besides ruling out diseases, fertility clinics try to maintain the highest level of anonymousness - to prevent future "wahala" So don't be surprised if they don't ask you personal questions.

The fact that people who donate eggs are illiterates or bleach has nothing to do with the eggs they donate - What's your point?

If you can't donate eggs fine, people will keep doing it.

If you see the smiles on the faces of people who have suffered from several years of infertility you will realise you are not doing a fruitless exercise.

Lastly, a virgin is someone who has not had sex before, being a virgin does not mean you can not donate eggs, donating eggs does not mean you are not a virgin anymore.
