About 2 weeks.That's when a pregnancy test can usually be correct.
Family › Re: Widows In Nigeria Explain How They Cope With Sexual Urges by thorpido(m): 9:32pm On Aug 15, 2014
True a lot of men try to take advantage of widows especially when they are financially down.
There are some who however choose to shut themselves up and fix all their attention on their kids.

You don't have any source yet you put up this thread?This is not the way to go.
Get a competent source before putting up threads like this!
Family › Re: Question To Men And Guys.-'-.-'--- by thorpido(m): 6:16pm On Aug 15, 2014
Usually when you get married in church,the scripture that states that the man no longer owns the body,but the wife and the wife no longer owns the body but the husband is quoted.
If you both understand this,you will realise that marriage involves sacrifice and it sometimes means giving even when it may not be that convenient.
As a man,if you are willing to take the patience to get your wife in the mood,it shouldn't be hard for both of you to reach a compromise.You have to understand that sex does not start in the bedroom for women.You have to make her happy and do things to make her receptive.Romance her outside of the bedroom.

If however you have a wife that is frigid,seek medical help.

satope1: You don't understand. I mean if the op were male. Would your thinking and advise be the same?
I'm male.If the op were to be male,it would still apply.The ex is not someone her husband just met,but someone they have had intimacy together.
Family › Re: He Still Communicates With His Married Ex by thorpido(m): 5:01pm On Aug 15, 2014
satope1: Can that be reversed? Won't they say the guy is insecure and so on. That it is just nothing. That he is being childish.
Childish?There is nothing childish about this.This is an ex-girlfriend that is rumoured to have had an abortion for him.
Many guys will say there is nothing until they are caught pants down.

Fight dey o.It's not just about duties,it's also about control.
The fight is on who controls what and how much control should there be.

Don't believe the hype!
It's certainly not true.I can speak confidently of myself.

texanomaly: Well I hope it is true. These kids are extremely teachable. I have personally seen my students continue to make progress.


My heart will always be with these kids and I will never stop advocating for them. I have students that started with me in kinder and are now in high school. I love every child that comes through my classroom.
Great job you're doing.Having worked with children with autism,i can imagine the patience you have to exercise.
Family › Re: How Do You Handle Weight Gain? Please Share by thorpido(m): 6:43am On Aug 14, 2014
Weight gain will occur when the energy input is more than the output i.e calorie intake is more than energy expended.
The key is to cut down on high calorie food like junk foods and fried foods.You also need to exercise to burn off some energy.

tomiobj: The coding of the cells will be similar genetically fine. Accepted.........but it's up to the individual to utilize it. you can't blame a child's brilliance on his/her ancestors.
The development,the environment,nutrition,exposure etc are other factors that will determine how he turns out.
The genes are the primary factor.

There are people who eat a lot,yet do no get fat.Are you going to say that the reason is not because of their genes?

Yes you could find such a man.
However,carry yourself well and never let low self-esteem weigh you down.
Also be very diligent to decipher the true intents of the man.

tomiobj: I never said genetics is the no of brain cells

Being brilliant has nothing to do with genetics tho. Besides...it's very possible to have a dull fada/moda and be a brilliant child or vice versa
what is your definition of dull?I already explained that not attending a formal school does not mean the capacity is not there.If a man is defined as dull because he does not know things you will learn in a formal school does not mean he couldn't know if he had had the training.

Genetics has to do with a coding in your cells that determine what your body will express.We may have the same number of brain cells but do not have the same capacity of expression.

Get to understand what genetics is about.

tomiobj: Genetics kor generator ni. All human beings are born with the same number of brain cells.
Go back and ask your biology teacher if genetics is defined as the number of brain cells.
Christianity Etc › Re: Can You Give Your Life To Christ Or God Has To Give You To Christ? by thorpido(m):
The bible speaks about God's desire that all men should be save and come to the knowledge of the truth.
God draws men but until a man speaks,how will they know?The bible says, 'how shall they hear without a preacher?And how shall they preach except they be sent?(Rom.10:14-15)'.For them to preach means the One that sent has already drawn them!

When you preach and say receive Jesus,it's a part of a cycle that already started with God through Jesus receiving them.

There's no irony in it.

red101: a licensed practitioner is needed for diagnosis. There is a general lack of resources and add to that, we africans also tend to have a very different world view in dealing with neurological conditions. Most people aren't aware.
What do you mean licenced?Nigerian doctors are not licenced?
I agree with you however that we do not have adequate resources to manage autistic patients and many africans have a low level of awareness but it's not as bad as you made it look in your initial post.

red101: Of course. Africa just lacks the medical sophistication and resources needed to diagnose and manage the condition. We usually leave it to spiritual explanations and call the person crazy, mad, mentally reta.rded, insane etc.
What sophistication is required to diagnose a child with Autism in Africa?Must you people spit on Africa at every given opportunity?
Yes there are challenges in Africa but making a difference is what counts rather than just criticism.There is an autism society in Nigeria and many are aware though it's the educated.

No it is not.

^^^Other factors do make significant difference.If a child's parents are brilliant but the child unfortunately loses both parents and is orphaned,he might grow under dire conditions which will definitely affect his performance.

Illiterate or poor parents does not mean they can't produce exceptional children.Remember,being illiterate just means a lack of opportunity to get schooled.It does not mean the capacity is not there.I have seen brilliant illiterates.Not knowing chemistry is not a measure of brilliance.

It's genetics as the major factor.

Other factors include nutrition in-vitro and after birth.
Environment
Training

Talk more with your wife rather than bottling things up.From your post she apparently didn't know what you spent the money on.
You also should have told her you were spending that money.Women no dey forget money o(they're good anyway).

This shouldn't be a cause of strife between you two.Just let her know money is being spent for the family and let her in on how it's being spent.
