I thought I was the only one that could easily see that the Ghana girl story was only one of those fake nude attention seeking story that fills the Internet. OP is sooooo correct.

Why would the parents even allow her to be photographed half nude in death contrary to easily covering her up out of love and integrity.

Thanks my man.
Floreat.

Don't get it twisted, anything is possible, there's so much messed up chinko chargers and power banks all over town.

Sometimes, you can't even use a plugged laptop because of mild shocks.

its is/was metalic which means it could have heated to a high temperature causing burning. it could also have blown! (yeah, batteries blow). also the sweat from d heat could have aided cos water conducts more than human body so...u never can tell

Seems you have no smattering of this.

You are talking about water sweat and water when I am telling you that the energy that can get in contact with you is DC once the charger is plugged to AC outlet. That's why you touch the mouth iron part of your phone chargers and nothing happens.

Even if you get your car battery and hold both terminals, no significant thing will happen.

A badly insulated system would shock one... the 220v at home that hasn't been earthed would kill one also... I've forgetten my energy generation, transmission and distribution of power... but 0.5v would kill an elephant... don't mislead people...

Haba! Don't you know that shocks can be severe but not fatal depending on several factors I listed above. Or must all shocks kill? Please check the factors I listed.
Please what's the empirical back up. You think you are stronger than elephant.
Don't spew gibberish please.

iPopAlomo:
if you read the cause of her death... cos I wasn't there... it said the power bank was plugged into power socket... and kept on her shoulder and she slept off... but that's not a power bank... it's too flat to be an old generation power bank... and power banks cases aren't made of metal... they are made from plastic... this is flat... and has a metallic body... my brothers that all hard disk casing at computer village would tell you that's the case of an hard disk... I've been shocked by one plugged into a PC... so I know what I'm talking about... only when plugged into power via a USB plug would you see an effect like that... the hard disk gripped her skin... shocked and paralysed her at the same time... notice the picture... it melted the skin surrounding it... only a power surge stopped it... but the deed had been done...
.
from the whole scenario... I deduce a terrible prank had been played on her... and whoever was at the scene first cos that would probably be the culprit/suspect said it was a power bank to save face...
.
but that is not a power bank... that's is an hard disk...
.
I could be wrong though...

My guy, get the gist.
If you touch the casing of a system componet eg CPU, it could shock you depending on where you touched because the AC current may not have been converted then.
Just like when u open a battery charger and touch the AC current without conversion, it will shock you.
Again, shocks from AC even have degrees depending on the volts, current, resistance , duration etc, let alone DC.

Thats why the high tension wires kill immediately as opposed to the wires at home. Because High tension wires have high current and volts so that it can travel, so it gets stepped down to like 220v with a transformer before going to our homes.

Could it be photoshop in the real sense?

Better photoshop bro

iPopAlomo:
I've told people... that can't be a power bank... it's a hard disk...

No
Even a laptop itself can't do that.

This will be succinct and precise.

Stupefied I was to learn of the phoney claim that power bank electrocuted a Ghanaian girl, Blandine, who had it placed on her bre.st region while it was charging. This claim was backed up by photos to lend credence to it.


Having examined facts and pictures, I observe and state as follows

1. That the claim was at best phoney and specious given that we have Alternating Current AC, and Direct Current, DC and power banks ,batteries, fuel cells and solar cells generally produce only Direct Current. This is because electrons here flow in one direction only. The reverse is the case in AC.



Power banks or batteries produce just DC energy which is microscopic that when even both terminals are touched wouldn't have effect.


That the fact that the said power bank was connected to a charger is immaterial given that chargers, including phone chargers, produces no AC but DC current usually 5v using a rectifier by reversing the polarity of one half of the period of the AC signal hence couldn't have led to shocks let alone electrocution.


In other words, chargers are plugged to AC outlets and chargers get the AC power and convert it to DC.
It's that DC that charges your phone or laptop batteries.
So the wires of your charger , ie the one that extends from the charger head has DC flowing in it.


That is the reason why nothing happens to you when you touch the Unclad iron part your laptop or phone chargers.


Again, it's not every contact with Unclad wires that kills. The effect is determined by a lot of factors like the volts, current, resistance etc. That explains why you occasionally touch Unclad wires and remove your hands immediately without severe injury.

It remains to be added that a fastidious look at the picture of the girl while alive and that supposing her to be dead are different. Spot the shape of the nose in both pics, one flat (while alive) and the other pointed, (dead)

Conclusively, the whole enchilada can be anything but true and is at best a cheap misleading PHOTOSHOP tosh. In fact, a blatherskite.
I stand to be controverted.

Thank you.

RickRichards:
No. I prefer technology.

What is it called and how is it used

Akposy:
Yes.

I was in a gathering of guyz forming Mr. English.......i saw a friend passing by and i shouted why did u offed your phone instead of OFF...... Come see bashing

Sorry bro, you are still wrong even at that.
You can never use off alone there.
Off alone means to kill sb.
You say switch off or on. It's a phrasal verb.
Thanks.

tosyne2much:
I bet to disagree bro


Extreme end is tautology

Lie

wristwatch:


During my 100 level days as the class rep, the lecturer said I should warn my colleagues to maintain decorum.

However I told them to "Stop roaming about" as I will be at the "Extreme end" to note those making noise.

Buhahahaha. Dem call me "rep of gbagaun" from that day.

There is no grammatical error in what you said.
It's correct to say "extreme end" just like it is to say "reason why"
It's neither redundant nor tautologious.

theAtheist101:
Have you used one before? What is your definition of juju? Does it include herbs? Most juju are only practiced with mouth and promoted by fear. People are quick to associate anything they don't understand to Juju. For instance, a lady that died in her sleep and her parents rejected an autopsy on her, but were quick to associate her death to the work of juju. Is that not madness?

These so called Juju men are the most careful people in the country. Our sick politicians would protect themselves with heavy security men, yet ignorant people would be screaming they are secured by Juju. Why do soldiers, police, thugs, boko haram, OPC carry guns? Why don't they just wear and fight with Juju? Why are African countries not the most powerful in the world? Why do these men die when they are severely injured by weapons? How come the Regent of Akungba was being kidnapped? (Am not in anyway justifying the kidnap.) Was she not protected with Juju or the gods? Juju is in the class as church miracles!

My conclusion, limit the nollywood movies you watch! Most of their play writers have very low IQ!

If you don't believe in any of those above, then I have no confab with you as our experinces are diametrically opposed.

Psylas:
After seeing what the type of my power bank did to a girl in Ghana, I decide to use black celotape to wrap it, the body is metal, but am still afraid o

So you believed that photoshop rubish that power bank did that to a girl? Most naive I guess.

freecocoa:
There are natural substances that can be used to hurt people, these herbalists know that and use it to do there jobs, like giving it to people to hurt others, but if you tell me that, one man somewhere will conjure something and kill someone he can't see, Omo na lie.

But do you think one can spiritually cause you accident, illness?
And do you believe that people can see visions or say who among 10 people stole which in the case of a missing item?
Am just asking oo.

ronald4lif:
I don't believe in juju or whatever that means. It doesn't exist so far as I'm concern.

Well, in this case your belief is immaterial. If you don't believe that Obamabis the US president, it changes nothing.

And what do you make of odeshi, African bullet proof?

theAtheist101:
Sir, who wrote the Bible? Was it not men? It was written to guide men and the authors never bothered to tell these men the origin of this god (I used small letter because the word is a common noun to me ). That same book has proven countless of times to be an unreliable source of knowledge -- seek Google for answers. Then, why would you choose it as your own source of knowledge?

I believe, you are scared to have a proper discussion with a bible unbeliever, because of the gaps in your knowledge of the universe. You probably have your doubts about your bible, but you just choose to ignore them, with the hopes that they would be answered on that last day. Why would you choose to wait till then? Aren't you inquisitive enough to seek answers now? Must you base all your arguments on a book? Can't you make a proper discussion/argument outside this book?

You shouldn't need faith to believe in god. If he exists, he has any of the five senses of man, to manifest himself. We don't need to physically see the wind before you know it exist, because we can feel it. The same argument holds for our heart, which we can not see, but feel and hear. I would end by saying: a non-existent god is one who needs his follower's faith to believe him.

Please what do we make of juju or charms, whence comes the powers in those. Or don't nobody believe in them?

ronald4lif:
I see. And the more a country develops and the more life becomes fair and less arduous for her citizens the more people start questioning the existence of a God. One factor, that is responsible for the skyrocketing growth of atheism in the West is the fact that people have realized that they don't need God to provide basic amenities and make life better for them. Structures have been put in place and a suitable environment where you can improve on your career and become successful.

In our country for instance, when someone is sick and they have no money to afford health care in our quack hospitals, they resort to prayers. But in Europe, health care is completely free and you don't have to pay a penny. They also know that "only" proper medication can ameliorate an ailment and not some supernatural powers. An unemployed graduate rely on prayer to secure a job when it shouldn't be so. Whereas in the West, jobs are readily available provided you have the required skills. And even if you're not working government pays you weekly benefits to sustain you and provide an apartment till you get back to work.

A lot of responsibilities that should rest on the shoulders of the government has now been shifted to God in Nigeria. That's why they find non-believers strange and devilish. Westerners (atheist) believes that life is what we make of it, and why we (Nigerians) believe that life is what God makes of us.

My guy abeg o. What do we make of juju. Or dont you believe such exists too?

Well, that's not the end of it all. You may need to garner certs and some experience to cushion the effect of the grade.

ammyluv2002:
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing this useful information.

God bless you

Women and emotion. Chai!

Last minute order.
Vanilla fruit cake with strawberry cream filling.
Frosted with really creamy vanilla butter cream.

Like how much will this cost. And can it be sent to the East?

nenergy:
Go to Apps. Select Google play services. uninstall updates. Next, go to storage and clear cache. restart phone...and voila problem stuff.

That is just a temporary solution naa.
It will still surface later.

Nne no dull yaself cos you will be the onw to bear the brunt ultimately. You guys should talk seriously about this. Let him know your stance, know you are having suitors, that we prove if he has plans at all for you since the excuse of having millions could be a decoy.
So if you tell him you have suitors and it doesn't startle him a bit then methinks he doesn't take you the way you take him.
He may be tired and looking for a break but doesn't know how to communicate that to you.
Just take a bold step since you are not getting any younger.
Granted you guys have been for a very long time and can still be tenacious to see if tjings will work out. But then again, wisdom equally consists in knowing when to quit.
Wish you well.

whyniel:
Thanks sir. I've checked some pages and the problem now is getting the useful information and tips from the bank.

Do you know any investment house you can recommend please?

Seems the easiest are banks. Just tell them you need T bills. They are likely to direct you to a person that know about it in that branch. Talk with the person. At times, they might want to give you from theirs but it comes with lower rates.
Just be making inquiries as you go on.
Cheers.

whyniel:
Those guys don't reply PMs.

I don't know anything about T bills.

I'll try and make enquiries tomorrow though. Thanks.

Guy there is nothing there. Just open that thread under investment section and read some pages.
Also google it and put Nigeria in your search, there is an article to that effect there.
Mind you, most people that work in banks know nothing about it.
Nigerian professionals are damn incurious.

whyniel:
Kindly share the banks you know that have better interest rates if one is planning to do a fixed deposit of 100k and above with.

Thanks in advance for your contribution(s).

Check for T bills thread under investment section. Okay?

Guy carry yout money go T bills. Its risk free and better rates

I ran a series of tests and yes it was caused by H.pylori, I used to have severe pains from my chest bone downwards my stomach and when it starts I feel very weak and faint, a times when I eat late, there are sounds from tummy and aches. Feels like my tummy is turning. Is there an alternative ulcer medicine?

It has been shown that triple therapy like its obtainable in ulcer kits can heal ulcers depending on severity.
Equally you have to determine if what you have is
A gastric or duodenual ulcer to know if you should abstain from irritants.
Just use google dear to look up stuffs.
Good luck.

Don't mean to cast aspersions on the tests run, but you need to trust the people that did it cos its not that easy to detect h.pylori as cause cos h.pylori is a natural bacterial in the stomach, it becomes bad when it's too much.
