A staff of mine just went into labour at 28wks , the scan she did showed oligohydraminos, breech presentation with big placenta.
I have tried to rule out causes of oligohydraminos, the only remarkable thing is that consumes kolanut like 2-3 daily for nausea n excessive salivation.
so I just wanna know if, it can be due to the kolanut or bitter kola.

aleniboro:

How can the RAM of a phone be increased, I mean from say 125mb to 256mb or 1G to 2G.
I use to know that , one can add more RAM to a desktop or laptop, is that applicable to phones as well.

Is it a taboo for Nigerians to enjoy stable , uniterrupted power? May God help us

Since I was young, now am old, well not really old, just ain't a kid anymore. I think the longest I ve had uninterrupted electricity in Nigeria wud be like 30hrs or so, less than 48hrs anyway. I v been to the North and southwest, though I have never been to south east or South south. Maybe they have long hours or days there.
cos these days in Ibadan, power holding is seriously holding the power.

pls share with us, the longest u v experienced n the location, if possible town, state, n time.
mine was
Oyo town in Oyo state, S.west, 1998 26hrs.
second was
Osogbo in Osun state, S/west 2008 30hrs

Point of correction, u lied too much, now that u re in govt, u v increased ur lies, infact , u re the "i" in lie, without u, there's no lie.
Baddest liar ever liveth.
lai, lie o, lieth.
Patron saint of liars.
Lord of the liars.
legend of the liar.
when you re gone, ur legacy(lies) will outlive u.
Uncle Lie, u gave a new definition n dimension to lieing

I v bin following cucumber threads for some time now. I v even planted(murano), my question is ow long are they expected to live, cos mine re getting brown n dieing at around 60days, though av harvested some cukes.
the harvest wasnt impressive because of pests n I didn't add fertilizers. it was just an experiment. I v planted another batch(tokyof1), hoping to correct my earlier mistakes

Now i know, we have a Coward in chief of the armed forces, so with all our nigerian military, intelligence, weapon n billions of dollars spent, our president can still chixken out to threats from the so called 5%. Its appaling. You mean to tell me, the Vps life is less important or what. If the president cant go , how does he expect his soldiers to face the NDA, if the president, a retired general can run away from threat, so whats expected of the boys, what moral rigjt does he have to demand their sacrifice. Now we know who is in control. who is really in charge.
He missed a chance to bond with the people, to let them know, that he cares n feels their pain
I case my rest.

Haaaaaaaaaaa
Alhaji lie, u can lie.
any word that comes out of his mouth, can never be trusted. hes getting worse at his job, during campaign. his lies weren't this obvious.
Does anyone remember, KWAM1 song, that is appropriate for our Hon minister " lai n paro, iro nla, lai n paro, iro nla". Lai dey lie, biggy lie

I hope united don't regret this later.
He might be a good coach, but he's just not suited to united tradition n philosophy.
He's unstable as water, and united needs a stayer, someone to continue the united way, not just some finished one, looking for 2seasons n flee.
He has alot to prove, to justify his appointment, we ain't excited about it.

Where can I get it in ibadan.

1. Never look down on anyone, the poor man today can become rich tomorrow, the prisoner today can bcom a president tomorrow.
2. life is a risk, take some risk (calculated risks), no risk no reward.
3. Aim high, never settle for less.
4. Know ur worth.
5. Don't be deterred, the fact that you suffered a setback once is not the end rather, it should motivate you to succeed.
6. Set goals for ur self, be determined n focussed, know what you want n go for it.
7. Don't hold any grudge against anyone for not helping you.
8. Don't make promises, you can't keep, be realistic.
9. The earlier you realise that rich hardly help the poor, the better, don't look up to anyone, work hard n climb up the ladder of success.
10. Your beginning does not count, it doesn't matter where you re coming from, what counts is ur destination and what you make of your life. A shoeless man has ruled a nation, while a rich man turned to a slave.

AWOLOWO'S LETTER IN 1943 AS A 34 YEAR OLD-
PLEASE READ TILL THE END- MY QUESTION IS: WHY
CAN'T PEOPLE WRITE LIKE THIS ANYMORE... LOL
Background... Awo made a loan request of £1,400 from
Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola on March 25, 1943 , (the
richest Ijebu man in those days) and promised to pay
back by 1955. Chief Odutola refused him of the Loan,
Awo could not travel that year. He worked hard and by
August 14, 1944 (one year later) he travelled to England,
became a Barrister at law and was called to the Bar in
November 1946. Amazingly, by 1954 (A year to the time
he promised to pay Chief Odutola the Loan ) , Chief
Awolowo was already a Premier in the Defunct Western
Region and already giving out Scholarship to over 200
undergraduates (First of its kind in Africa). This story
was written by Adedara Oduguwa and I stumbled on it
on the internet...
THE LETTER
Dear Mr. Odutola,
I think it will be an exceeding saving of time and more
business-like if I avoid all sweet preliminaries and go
straight into the object of this letter and say that I am
writing to ask you to be good enough to lend me a sum
of £1,400 (One thousand and four hundred pounds) free
of interest for twelve years.
It is a staggering figure! More staggering indeed does it
become, when it is realized that I, who am asking for
this loan, have nothing in all the world to give as a
security for this money, excepting my good faith and my
brains which again are of value only so long as I
continue to breathe the breath of life!
Nevertheless, I here proceed to outline in brief why i
want this big loan from you. And I hope you will be kind
enough to sacrifice some time to go through what I
have to say, even though , in the end you might find
yourself unable to do me this grand favour.
One great ambition of mine since my boyhood days is to
be a lawyer, a politician and a journalist, rolled into one.
I cherish politics and journalism as a career. ; and I
desire advocacy as a means of livelihood. For you will
agree with me that a politician or journalist who has no
money with which to support himself and family
comfortably ,is like a blade which has no razor.
Now, at one time, I was on the verge of making enough
money with which I could proceed to England in order to
pursue the object of my ambition; but I suffered a twist
in my fortune, and I crashed. Ever since, I have tried
without success to recover lost grounds, financially. But
spiritually and intellectually, I have made appreciable
advance in spite of towering difficulties, all of which
have now been surmounted.
As you are aware, I have just passed the intermediate
Bachelor of Commerce Examination. Next year, I am
taking the final B.Com. Having a degree is not my goal;
I hate to be a government or mercantile employee.
Otherwise, there are opportunities for me here and there
to get a suitable and well paid job under government or
one of the mercantile houses. As you know, however,
once I become an employee of government or a
mercantile establishment that is the end to my career
as a politician and journalist. I have therefore resolved
that under no circumstances will I take up such
employment.
That is just by the way. I am now thirty-four years of
age. After careful thought, I have come to the
conclusion that if I could raise a loan free of interest
sufficient to cover expenses , I should go to England ,
this year and within three years, I should qualify as a
Barrister –at –law, and also obtain with Honours the
LL.B Degree of London University. In addition this
degrees apart from giving me good backing as a
solicitor and Advocate will help me immensely as a
politician and journalist.
But where on earth could i get the money? Who in
Nigeria today could give £1400 free of interest to help
his fellow-man? J.Henry Doherty, Esq., of illustrious
memory who did the like to many successful Nigerians
is no more. But after meticulous, shifting and weighing,
I hit upon you.
I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that out of the
bounty with which providence blesses your grit and
efforts as a businessman, you can well easily afford to
advance such a sum of money. I have no doubt too that
as a young and progressive man you will be quite happy
to give the money for the pursuit of the project for
which I desire it.
But then, could you take this risk?
That is the question. As I have said before, I have no
security for this loan. Moreover, I want it free of interest.
So that you stand to gain absolutely NOTHING in the
whole transaction ,except the satisfaction that by
helping me to achieve my ambition you are indirectly or
even directly helping Nigeria or even Africa.
This risk becomes greater when it is borne in mind that
I might die in the course of my studies or immediately
after , so that, since I have no security or surety, you
stand the chance of losing not only the money but also
the satisfaction which you may cherish that you are
contributing to the uplift of Africa. It is indeed a great
risk; the greatest any man ever embarks upon.
But, this is a big BUT, if I live, as I have no doubt I will
do, you will not only get your money back in full, but
you will , to the end of your days , have cause to rejoice
that you have done one of the most outstanding and
most philanthropic acts any human being ever does.
Among other things, I shall make excellent use of the
money while in England by breaking records in my
examination. On my return to Nigeria, I shall strive to
be one of the foremost advocates, politicians and
writers in West Africa, and while I do all these, I shall
make it a point not only to pay your money back in full,
but also to repay your kindness and generosity towards
me in every way I can.
All the same, it is a big risk! So , Sir, I like you to think
seriously about it, and see if you can take it in the
interest of a young man who has brains ,industry and
determination to back his ambition , but lacks the
money. I know we have never been close friends, but I
have a shrewd idea that you may take the risk and help
me.
On this assumption, therefore, I proceed to the next and
last stage of this letter.
I shall not require the whole £1,400 in a lump sum. To
start with, you will help me pay a sum of £208-13s-3d
to the Inner Temple. I have already received an
application form from this Inn of Court; and from the
details forwarded, I gather that the sum of £208-13s-3d
will cover all the cost of training as a Barrister,
examination fees excluded.
When I am ready to sail, you will advance me a sum of
£100 to cover passage, provision for my family and any
other incidental expenses( NOTE: If i got torpedoed on
the way, you would certainly lose this £100 but you will
recover the £208-13s-3d).
At the same time you will remit to a London Bank the
sum of £491-6s-9d. It is out of this amount that I shall
pay the university fees for LL.B course a, and for special
courses in political science and journalism, when I land
in England. This is to say, the initial advance will total
£800.
At the end of the first year, provided I make satisfactory
progress in my studies, you will give instruction to the
bank to honour all cheques from me drawn on this
account. There will be an arrangement to be signed by
me on my return.
On my return, I shall require TWO years within which to
establish a solid practice and build a good reputation.
After these two years, I should commence to pay at
least £200 per annum either in monthly, quarterly or
annual payments. So that in seven years after the first
two years, I should pay back the whole sum of £1,400.
That will be TWELVE YEARS from the time you help me
to pay this in April or so this year, then I should be due
to pay the whole of £1400 by April 1955.
Now, as you yourself will see, this is the farthest limit
within which I can pay the money. It may be possible
for me to pay the money within THREE to FIVE years of
my return. As a matter of fact, the sooner I pay it off,
the better. But it is much better to be on the safe side
in a matter like this. It is no making promises now
which will be difficult to fulfil in future. On the contrary
it is better to mention a period of twelve years and pay
within SIX or EIGHT years than to mention FIVE YEARS
and fail to pay within TEN years. Personally, I prefer
that I should fail to get the loan under theses
unattractive but sure conditions, rather than succeed in
getting it under attractive but precarious conditions.
Now, this is all I have to say. You have my request
before you, and the reason why i make the request. It is
left to you to decide whether it is worthwhile to take the
risk of helping me in the manner outlined above or not.
If you do me the great favour, not only myself and all
that are mine, but also God and Africa will be grateful, I
shall have no cause whatsoever to grumble or to blame
you, FOR THE RISK IS GREAT.
Since this is a very selfish request, I enclose herewith a
stamped addressed envelope for a reply to be sent to
me under registered cover.
With very kind regards.
Yours sincerely,
(Sgd) Obafemi Awolowo.
