quality01: I'm looking for a church where wealthy single ladies attend in lagos. I want to meet a nice lady for a serious date.

190: OP

Just slice that man to keep his nerves cool - its no biggie

thelastPope: Have you ever seen pictures from Nigeria like the one you see from Ethiopia? Nigerians in rural areas eat good food. They lack other amenities. The food in the rural areas are standard foods that an average American will pay good money to eat. Vegetables, fruits, bush meat in abundance. Where some people even lack access to foods are in the urban areas.

thelastPope: You are as wrong as the don. There is no lack of adequate access to food. If you want to argue about the quality of food, then that is another discussion. What Nigerians lack is access to basic infrastructure not access to foods. Basic health care, pipe borne water, education, roads, etc. The number of people that lack access to food is small. Most Nigerian still live in the rural areas and in the rural areas, food is not a problem at all.

Princess1982: I mean sit back and think there are no foreign military bases on US soil but yet the US military has bases in all corners of the world if China so call do wage war on the US the US would see it coming beside China owns 90% of our 16 trillion dollar debt I hardly think they would want to attack until they at least get back some of their money lol.

Akiika: Ah ah ah! what an unintelligent analysis!
So EPL did not affect us when ALMOST half of the squad (Okocha, Kanu, Yobo, Babayero, Okoronkwo, and Yakubu) that won AFCON in 200 playED in EPL?
Follow this siimple rule: THINK before you TYPE, not the other way around!

coogar: $240/month shouldn't be expensive if the two of you are into full-time employment. of course, he would be willing to pay 75% upwards of the cost of hiring a maid. a less-stressed wife is a bonus!

Eziachi: People should not make bold statement over issue they don't have all the facts. As an orthopaedic surgeon of close to 40 years I have lots of experience on this issue than most do. I know for a fact that there is no policy among Jehovah Witnesses's not to receive transfusion as a blanket law. Its down to individual and am hundred percent sure that the lady in question has taken that decision in the event like this through her verbal instruction or what we call medical life will and not by her family.

Jehovah's Witnesses based on their faith, as they perceived it from their understanding of the bible, do not take any sort of blood and in England that is respected by the law and respected by the medical profession and you do all you can for your patient, while respecting their choice of treatment, so I don't know about Nigeria.
Its the right of a patient to choose how he/she wanted to be treated and not only on transfusion by other therapies like Chemo or radiotherapy in cancer treatment. In extreme cases involving children, a judge may decide what happens over the choice made by parents, but like I said, its only in extreme cases.


As a surgeon, I will be the last person to recommend blood transfusion for anybody at will, because what most people do not realise is that transfusion kill people than it saves. I usually tell people that blood is the sewage of the body and every single event in your body goes through the blood stream. Thousands die each year through blood poisoning, hypertisis B, HIV, all through transfusion and this is in advanced countries where blood is specially treated to the highest standard. Can imagine in developing nations?

Over the last 30 years, thanks to this JW people, science had develop advance method of all sorts of non blood surgeries and this includes many hours surgeries like cardiac, brain and most complicated procedures in orthopaedic like Quadraplaty. I can tell you that Jehovah Witnesses started and developed a machine we used today called jpyt, which is a blood salvaging machine, preferred by the rich and famous today in surgeries instead transfusion. I can also tell you that the recovery period of non blood surgeries as against blood surgeries is 5-1.

I don't know what is obtained in Nigeria, but medical science has moved on so much to use non refusal of transfusion as the reason for a patient lose of life, there are many thing you can do, even in the event of severe lose of blood, e.g multiple dilution process. In 2009, the U.S army invested close to a billion dollar to perfect their field medical personal on bloodless surgeries and treatment. Because not only its safer but its very cost effective. In my opinion and when I had seen in the last few decade, we are very close to a time when no single blood will ever to use in medical science.
Jehovah Witnesses may reject transfusion based on their faith, which should be respected but I will personally refuse one based on personal safety and the science of what I knew about blood, but as a surgeon, I do give people blood, but it has never been the first resort.
One more thing, when blood is given to you, it takes at least 48 hours before it become a full part of your body mechanism, i.e if your body didn't reject it.

UNLEASHED: I'm new on this forum, please how do I get banned?

initiator: The football analogy given by aribisala is perfect in arguing against his point. Europe is the smallest continent bu has the most representatives at the worldcup. Reason? They are better footballers! So while Fifa helped to foster global unity by including other continents, it did not disadvantage the majority of footballing nations. When Africa started improving their slots were raised from 3 to 5.

Let me give you an example, while I was at a FGC in the east there was this boy who came in in JS 1 and could not speak a line in english. He ended up being the but of jokes in class. People made him the class clown, taunting him with cattle sounds and all. Now tell me what unity you achieve by that. Unity is nothing. What unifies a people as argued in Achebe's book, The Problem with Nigeria are values of hardwork and justice and stuff like that.
