Thanks but the idea behind the question is to realy get to pile-on-the-onions on the suya I am going to eat and still be able to get rid of the smell afterwards. And when I mentioned brushing a couple of times afterwards, I mean the whole mouth: teeth, inner cheeks, gums, tounge, palates and all.

Well, if it is supposed to be made as stew it should not be bad.

About this issue of lizard curing epilepsy: is that true? is there any thread where it's been disscused?

Hey, Athsma is a very serious ailment and should not be triffled with. I have a number of friends who have been living with the condition and it's not funny when you see them having a crisis or an attack not to mention a lot of the thing we take for granted that they can't do.

Now this post may sound bizare or like a joke or something but I am all serious here (for the records). I am only trying to seek clarification to something I have been hearing over and over again.

It is said that peper-soup made with red-necked agama lizard, if taken offers a permanent cure for athsma. I have heard such talk in my childhood days in boarding school but took it for nonesense. While in my final year in the university however I overhead a student say something about it. I questioned it and he says His dad does it in his village and it works. He says he has witnessed it time and time again.

Is there anyone out there who may actualy have any real testimony or knowledge of this recipe (or formular or whatever)?

Once again, I am not posting this in jest (I know how serious athsma can be).

You know what, at the hieght of the controversy sorrounding the formal declearation of Sharia Law in some Northern Nigerian State, a muslim cleric being interviewed on National Television in the breakfast segment was asked if it's true that young muslim females who choose to date or marry non-muslims will be executed.
His reply: No, we don't execute them. We simply encourage their family to kill them.

Well, from what I see in the scriptures, Christians should indeed pay tithe. But how are we to pay our tithe and who has authority to disburse the tithe?
lets consider the following scriptures:
Deutoronomy 14:22-29
Deutoronomy 26:12-13

1) The tithe was of two types. There is the regular tithe and there was the tithe paid on the third year (the year of tithe) - see Deuteronomy 26:12

Deu 26:12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled. . . .

thus the tithes of the first two years were different from the tithes of the third year.

2) In the first two years, after the tithes had been blessed, the tither disburses the tithes amongst Himself and his family and the levites. - see Deuteronomy 14:26-27

Deu 14:26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever, thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
Deu 14:27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.

3) In the third year (the year of tithing) the tither disburses the tithe amongst the levites, the widows, the strangers and the fatherless (neither the tither nor his family will partake of it). - see Deuteronomy 14: 28-29 and Dueteronomy 26:12-13

Deu 14:28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
Deu 14:29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

Deu 26:12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
Deu 26:13 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:

these verses clearly show who should benefit from our tithes and when. It is also clear that the tither is responsible for the disbursement of his tithe. So I don't think the attitude of just giving all your tithe to someone and saying you are not concerned with what is done with it is the right one.

I love the taste of sliced onions on Suya (grilled beef or beef kebabs). I realy can't get enough of it. But the smell tends to linger on my breath even after brushing a couple of times. Does any one know a good way of getting rid of the onion smell on ones breath ater eating them?

I belive the redish discoloration that results when yam is cut and exposed to air will have something to do with oxidation. I know it doesn't happen with every tuber so it may depend on the concentration of minerals (like iron) in the tuber. I doubt if there is any way of stoping the oxidation process. I hope some on will come up with something though.

I've tried snake, crocodile and monitor lizard and they rank among the tastiest meats I've tried ever. It's ussualy creepy to even think of it until you actualy try it then you just love it.

If you are not the adventurous type it's understand able that you may not flow. However I intend to tryout as many exotic meats as possible in my life time.

That depends. You didn't say if they are Nigerians and what part they are from. Their ethnic group will provide a clue as to what they consider suitable. You may check out the thread on Nigerian recipes and see if you find something to your taste. Nigerian recipes can be a little tricky to pull off though.

Maybe you should try things like rice and stew which will basicaly be in your comfort zone then add some little Nigerian stuffs like Moi-Moi, bush-meat (smoked rabbits will do just fine) and such like. That way you will convey a feeling of homliness to them and you realy don't have to stray to far from what you already know.

@SysUser,
Ur posting is completely derailing the original post. If you wish to start your own thread please feel free to do so man.

I wont say I have some hidden text that merges both scriptures on Judas death but lets use the scriptures you quoted and add a little imagination.


Judas committed suicide by hanging himself.
As a suicide he is considered to be unclean so no one would touch his corpse.
It bloats and begin to decay in the heat, falls of the tree and the belly of the bloated corpse burst open.

This will make both accounts true.

Mathews account specificaly tells us how Judas died - by hanging.

Pauls account related some events that related to the deceased but It did not say how he died.

Mathew tells us that the money (belonging) to Judas was used to purchase a field by the priest. Since the money could not be put in the treasury, it was still legaly Judas' money so the field is his. Mathew's version is a historic account or record.

Paul said Judas purchaed the field. He was refering to historic events that were at the time common knowledge and didn't need to go into specifics.



This is just an academic excercise to show that the seeming contradictions might just not be contradictry at all.

A skit from a song titled "Man shortage":

Girl: Good evening.  Are you the witch doctor?
Man: Well . . . some people call me that but I prefer to be called a Doctor of science. What can I do for you?
Girl: I'm looking for a man.
Man: Any particular man?
Girl: Not realy. Just a good man.
Man:[/b]Well, as you know, a good man is hard to find. But if you have the money, I can get you any man you want.
[b]Girl:What kind of money are you talking about.
Man: (Laughing) Preferably $USD.
Girl: I don't mean what kind of currency. I mean how much money.
Man:[/b]We can start as low as fifty Dollars and go as high as a couple of thousands.
For fifty Dollars I'll get you a sure piss-man. He can't do a thing, he's just there so you can tell your friends that you have a man.
Then we have the top of the line man whom every woman wants. He's handsome, intelligent and drives a BMW.
[b]Girl: Supposing I want a nice quiet Christian man, can you help me.
Man:[/b]Well . . . you see we don't stock those because you don't get so many request for them.
But if you want a dreadlock-man, or if you want a ganja-man, or if you want a big-fat-man, look lady, you never have
to worry. As long as you have the money, I'll get you a man in a hurry.
[b]Girl: I want a man with responsibilities.
Man: You mean a man with wife and children?
Girl:No, I don't mean that. I want a man who is sensitive. I don't want a hard man!
Man: Oh! you want a soft man?!
Girl: Nooooo!!! I want a man who is kind, loving, warm, tender, witty, charming, intelligent, good-looking, fun-to-be-with and sexy.
Man: (indignant) Ah! look lady! I'm not available! A man like me who is single and free, good looking and sexy and knows how to treat a lady. No amount of money can get me. You just have to hope and pray that some day yo'll get lucky.
Man:(continuing. . . ) However, there are guys who go about the place, taking advantage of women and treating them like dirt. If you want those, I could easily retain half a dozen for $1.
Girl: Supposing I want a man who is good in bed?
Man: Yo mean a man that sleeps well?
Girl: No. I mean a man who is good at . . . you knoooow?!
. . . . phone disconects . . . .

Just muse over it!!!

An instructor in the Nigerian Airforce (NAF) was drilling a new corp of recruits on the techniques of bailing of a plane in mid-air.
Instructor: On jumping out of the plane, reach over your right shoulder and pull the rip-cord. This will open your parachute. . .
Recruit 1: What if that doesn't work?
Instructor: No problem. Reach over your left shoulder and pull the other rip-cord to release your back-up parachute.
Recruit 2: And if that still doesn't work?
Instructor: Then you use the kapersky manouver.
Grab your ankles and pull your knees up as high as possible.
Put your head between your legs and push it down as far as possible. . .
then kiss your arse good-bye.

Now that should realy help me get OVER IT. It's over then.

Do you guys have a bias for any particular platform? Are you planning to do more of web based apps or desktop apps?

It was a lovely day in sperm land and all the sperms where lazing around in the semen as ussual, swimming to their hearts content and not giving a f**k about anything. Well all except one. There wuz this one called Arnorld, he was all macho and always stressing himself with all kinds of exercise and was growing stronger daily (some said he wuz on steroids or some sh*t).
One day, the other sperms got a little worried and asked Arnold why he wuz always kicking up such a fuss and working out all the time. "Well" said Arnorld, "when the D-Day comes only one of us is gonna make it to the target and it has to be me!".

One day the semen grew all bublly and everthing seemed to be in hyper-drive. There was a change in the atmosphere so all the sperms knew it was the D-Day so they all swam for the exit. Arnold of course wuz at the fore front.
Suddenly Arnold stopped swimming, doubled back and started swimming in the opposite direction screaming to the others
"Get back everybody! get back . . . it's a Mouth Action!!!"
