Randy100: @op how do we help them.

Through God (serious prayer), and science ooo.

I support the first sentence of the post though " Having intimate feelings for someone of
the same sex, before the early 1970s, was
classified by the psychiatric and medical
world as a serious mental disorder requiring
treatment. "

SOURCE: http://www.withdrmalik.org/2014/01/five-sensitive-scientific-facts-about.html?m=0

#1: Homosexuality was considered a
psychiatric (mental) disease, until
recently!

Having sexual feelings for someone of the
same sex, before the early 1970s, was
classified by the psychiatric and medical
world as a serious mental disorder requiring
treatment. Medical textbooks had chapters
reflecting homosexuality as an abnormality.
But, recently, after several professional
reviews, no medical basis was found to
classify it as a disease any longer. And gays
were noticed to live normal lives, raise stable
kids, and perform well at work. Medical
textbooks now reflect homosexuality not as a
sexual disorder, but a sexual orientation.

#2: Homosexual behaviors are clearly seen
in many animals!

Contrary to what many people think and say,
homosexual behaviors have been observed in
over 1500 species of animals. In almost every
specie, something, sometimes, happens to a
few, a minority, of the animals -- they prefer
their counterpart of same sex as sex mate!
Some, for a period, exhibit sexual intimacy
and activity towards same or both sexes -- a
kind of bisexual; others, however, would pair
to protect and even copulate a partner of
same sex for their entire lives, completely
ignoring the opposite sex!

#3: The exact cause of homosexuality is
yet unknown!

We have searched. No "gay gene" found yet.
We observe there might be some genetic
involvement because if one of an identical
twins is gay, even if raised in different
environment and beliefs, there's a 52% chance
for the other twin (who has same genes with
the gay twin) to be gay too! Also, the way the
brain of a gay person appears and function is
different from that of a non-gay. Hormones
act differently. Some limited evidence shows
and it is suspected that some biological and
chemical changes occurred during their brain
formation in their mother's womb. We know
people are not gay just because of their
upbringing, or broken family or child abuse.
No! She is not lesbian just because she was
forced into it in boarding school! There is
something more than background and social
conditioning, something internal...and we are
not certain yet of what it is.

#4: Homosexuals are more prone to some
sexually transmitted infections, (and some
other medical conditions) than
heterosexuals.

Due to certain peculiar sexual practices,
homosexuals have higher risks of certain
medical conditions especially sexually
transmitted ones. For example, the incidence
of HIV and Hepatitis B virus infections is
highest in homosexual men who practise anal
sex. Anal sex, the riskiest form of sex, also
increases the risk of anal tears, rectal
prolapse, and pile. Sharing of dildos,
vibrators, sex machines, and other intimacy gadgets
among lesbians increases the risk of infections
drastically. And due to guilt, fear, rejection,
and frustration, they are prone to some
mental conditions like clinical depression,
anxiety disorders, and suicide.
#5: Homosexuality is hardly a choice; and
change is, if possible, extremely difficult!
As children, they behave like the opposite sex,
preferring the toys and plays of the other sex.
As grown-ups, the fear of "God's wrath", the
society's frown, and what people will say,
make them hide. They suppress it. They might
feign orgasm and pretend to enjoy sex with
the opposite gender. They force themselves
into relationships with the other sex, get
married, and raise kids. They want to be
"normal". They go for counseling and lifestyle
modification. Now, no scientific evidence of
clear-cut, sustained change has been
recorded. The observed changes are typically
external and short-lived, not a reparation; it
is more of a repression. Because, when all is
said and done, in their hearts, they still prefer
their gender.

DISCLAIMER: These statements should not be
taken as a reflection of my personal stand for
or against homosexuality. I write, simply
stating facts, as a scientist and a medical
doctor, and my personal beliefs are not
directly expressed.

Your Arteries
Your Bones
Your Liver
Your Guts
Your Brain
Your Lungs
If humans were like salamanders, that careless
carpenter down the street would have a full
set of fingers. But soon after our primordial
ancestors slithered out of the muck, limb
regenesis was chucked out of our genetic
portfolio like John Bobbitt's . . . well, you get
the picture. The good news: Our bodies still
retain some important repair mechanisms.
"Regeneration is actually a default state when
we're embryos," says David L. Stocum, Ph.D., a
regenesis researcher and dean of the school of
science at Indiana University-Purdue University
in Indianapolis. "We gradually lose that ability
as we develop—except in certain kinds of
tissues."
The holdouts? Your arteries, skin, liver, lungs,
and digestive tract, and certain parts of your
brain. They're all continually refreshed—if
you're healthy. "It's called maintenance
regeneration. It's kind of like working on your
car," says Stocum. "You've got something
going on—you're low on oil, you buy a quart. A
taillight goes out, you replace it. The clutch is
acting up, you fix it. It's the same thing with
your body."
(A few parts—including the liver and severed
bits of fingertips—can even grow back. Studies
suggest that adult stem cells in those areas
play a role.)
Make sure your body has all the tools and
parts it needs for a tune-up. Sometimes it's as
simple as revving your engine. Here's how to
mend broken bones, bypass clogged arteries,
sprout new brain cells, and more—by
optimizing your body's regenerative powers.

The damage:
Narrowing blood vessels.
The natural defense:
When your pipes start to clog like I-405 at
rush hour, a healthy body can handle the
traffic by enlarging existing arteries and even
growing new ones. It's a natural process called
angiogenesis, and here's how it works.
Links between blood vessels, called arterial
anastomoses, normally supply local tissues
with blood, like exit ramps shunting traffic
away from expressways. These exit ramps can
be pressed into service as full-fledged arteries.
"The cells in the vessel are able to detect when
stress is increased, and that prompts signals
that enlarge the anastomoses," explains Ronald
L. Terjung, Ph.D., associate chairman of the
University of Missouri's department of
biomedical sciences. "Blood can cross over (to
an unclogged vessel) and keep going."
What you can do:
First, clean your pipes. Cholesterol can hinder
the repair process. Researchers at Harvard
medical school compared tissues from two
groups of open-heart patients—one group with
clogged vessels and the other with clear ones—
and found that the clogged blood vessels
weren't able to respond to growth signals.
"Angiogenesis can't occur if the cells in the
blood vessel are damaged or blocked by
cholesterol," says author Roger J. Laham, M.D.,
director of the Angiogenesis Research Center at
Harvard medical school. So keep your
cholesterol low.
Make your own detours by running, swimming,
shooting hoops—whatever it takes to get your
blood pumping. A 2004 study published in the
journal BMC Physiology found that endostatin,
a factor involved in arterial growth, shot up by
an average of 73 percent in healthy volunteers
after about 10 minutes on a treadmill at an
average of 5 mph. Even better: The effects
lingered for up to 2 hours, and the harder the
subjects worked, the more endostatin was
released.
An injection may one day help. Scientists at the
University of Cincinnati injected three heart
patients with something called "growth factor
FGF1," the "on" switch for arterial growth.
After 3 months, all three were growing new
arteries and had increased bloodflow. "They're
very, very small branches of arteries that are
growing into an area just like a bush. They're
almost microscopic," says Lynne Wagoner,
M.D., the lead study author. "Some patients
are able to do this naturally on their own, but
in the patients we're studying, we're basically
doing that for them." The treatment is slated
for approval in 2006.

The damage:

A broken bone.
The natural defense:
"The healing response is generated by the
living parts of the bone, the cells that live
within the matrix," says Sherwin S.W. Ho,
M.D., an associate professor of orthopedic
surgery at the University of Chicago. No,
Keanu, healing faster isn't a matter of choosing
the red or blue pill. The matrix Dr. Ho is
talking about is the lightweight but durable
calcium carbonate structure that makes up
most of your bone. Inside little pockets in the
matrix are living cells, including bone-building
osteocytes. "When you break a bone, they're
released from the pockets," explains Dr. Ho.

What you can do:
Eat your greens. They'll give you loads of
vitamin K, a compound that helps lock bone
cells into place as they lay down new
scaffolding. One serving of spinach or broccoli
provides more than the recommended intake.
And break out the guacamole—avocados and
tomatoes are good sources of vitamin K, too.
Never heard of vitamin K? No surprise: Less
than 50 percent of all men ages 18 to 44 get
enough of it, researchers at Tufts University
found.

Don't take it lying down. A busted bone isn't a
6-month excuse to sit on your butt. "At some
point, you have to introduce a modicum of
stress on the bone to stimulate those
osteocytes to lay down more bone," says Dr.
Ho. Most breaks are ready for light stress at 6
weeks. Initially, Dr. Ho gives his patients
squeeze balls and a regimen of light curls for
arm breaks, and crutches for leg breaks.
"Once you're ready for heavier exercise, you
should do a couple of sets of 15 to 20
repetitions per day at the highest resistance
you can complete without pain," says Dr. Ho.
Go ultra. If you're a competitive ice-skater,
power forward, or stripper and need to get
back on the floor immediately, consider an
ultrasound bone-healing system like the
Exogen, which has been shown to help bones
heal as much as 38 percent faster. Some
insurance plans will cover sessions.

The damage:
Years of drinking. Or just a binge.
The natural defense:
Your liver is one of the only organs that can
spring back after part of its tissue dies (the
process is called compensatory hypertrophy).
But that's only if you don't booze it to the
point of cirrhosis, a chronic liver disease in
which normal liver tissue is replaced with
scarred, nonfunctional tissue. "People who are
at risk consume more than 14 drinks a week or
regularly have more than five at a time," says
Mark Mailliard, M.D., director of the hepatitis
C program at the University of Nebraska.

What you can do:
Balance your liver. It's really just a sponge full
of chemicals, and a compound called
glutathione (GSH) helps keep everything in
check. Not only does GSH detoxify things like
Tylenol (which is why alcoholics should never
pop one while drinking—the by-product is
toxic), but it's also essential for liver
regeneration. Rats unable to create GSH are
also unable to grow back liver tissue, a
University of Southern California study found.
"We're not sure how it works. That's the black
box," says Shelly Lu, M.D., the lead author of
the study. "We know it helps with cell growth,
and we know it's involved in cell death, too."
Dr. Lu also knows that popping SAM-e—a
supplement that converts to glutathione in the
liver—can bring your GSH levels back to
normal. In Europe, where SAM-e is actually
prescribed for liver disease, the standard
dosage is 1.2 grams (g), or about three tablets,
per day. "If you're a drinking man, you should
also be taking folic acid and a B-vitamin
complex, because they're essential in the
formation of SAM-e and glutathione," adds Dr.
Lu.

The damage:
Intestinal distress—there's a five-alarm fire
down below.

The natural defense:
Torch your gut with booze, barbecue, or both,
and the lining of the intestine will simply
slough it off. Cells there have one of the
fastest cellular turnover rates in the body—
each one clocks out after only a couple of
days of (very, very dirty) work, making room
for a new one.

What you can do:
Rough it and you'll speed up the changing of
the intestinal guard. "Having some roughage in
your diet helps knock off a few of the older
cells, almost like pruning a tree," says Kenneth
Koch, M.D., a professor of internal medicine
and chief of gastroenterology at Wake Forest
University school of medicine. Aim for 25 to
30 g fiber a day, starting with a whole-grain
breakfast cereal, followed by whole-grain
bread at lunch and lots of fruits and vegetables
all day long. Dr. Koch recommends foods
containing bran because they produce the
most "stool bulk." Delicious!

The damage:
You scorched your gray matter in ways you
can't even remember.
The natural defense:
For years, it was thought that we stopped
making fresh neurons in puberty, meaning that
sometime in high school a long die-off of brain
cells commenced. Turns out it only seems that
way. "The brain is just another organ," says
Fred H. Gage, Ph.D., a professor in the
laboratory of genetics at the Salk Institute and
the first researcher to demonstrate new
neuronal growth in mammals. "The brain is
attempting to fix itself, just as skin tries to heal
itself after a nick or cut."

What you can do:
Work your body. Animal studies have shown
that exercise can induce neurogenesis (the
formation of new neurons) in two key areas of
the brain: the hypothalamus, which helps form
new memories and learning; and the olfactory
bulb, where your sense of smell is located. The
studies were done on rats, but what's good for
a rodent should be good for your brain: Try to
get at least 30 minutes of exercise 2 or 3 days
a week.

The damage:
Bad air, from smoke or smog, has clogged
your air-exchange system.
The natural defense:
The lungs come equipped with a self-cleaning
cycle, but overloading them with smoke or
smog will gunk up the works. The cilia, or
hairlike structures in your lungs, flagellate
(that's move) upward, coaxing the bad stuff
out of the alveoli (little air sacs) and into the
trachea, where the gunk grows into a
frightening reminder of why you should have
been better to your lungs to begin with. "It's
like a mucus escalator," says Norman Edelman,
M.D., a scientific advisor to the American Lung
Association. "That's a major form of defense.
Within a few days to a week (after quitting
smoking], you start feeling better, and you
start coughing up all that bad mucus you have
down there."
What you can do:
Exercise will help loosen the large chunks after
you first come clean. But you should be
exercising already. Retinoic acid, or vitamin A,
could actually help your lungs rebuild. Rats
and mice with emphysema (they smoked tiny
little cigarettes) given the compound were able
to restore alveoli, which swap carbon dioxide
for fresh oxygen to pre-emphysema levels,
according to a recent study published in the
European Respiration Journal. You'll get several
times the recommended daily allowance (900
micrograms) in only one serving of carrots,
sweet potatoes, or mango.

*modified* my friend just informed me that he was notified by his bank of 5k payment from unilag. hyet to see mine though

akitijackson: yeah, dat's true they can be very funny. Dat's d only thing dat's gud abt talkatives

lool. true!

fellis: Lol, my former boss was like that too. The man can lie about anything and anybody, sofa he is gisting about something it's not his business. he used to also tell lies about his wife and children.

True! nawa. Listening to them drains my energy a lot. well! they can be very funny though.

yuzjet: Oh my world! What kind of plate is dat? That plate looked glued to her mouth!

theyvarebthe mursi tribe, they pierce their lips and put plate in it. why?? i wonder also. refer to this page for more: https://www.nairaland.com/304172/mursi-tribe-girls-lip-plates

fellis: Na so. I pity those people sometimes, they cannot stop talking. Talk talk talk till they get themselves in trouble. Another thing is that they always tell lies. When they run out of truths to talk about they start making stories up.

you are soo soo right. One of my dad's friend can liiiiie. chai. u go fear.

.

STEP 1
Get a good beat from a very good producer. Get all the melodies from childhood singalong songs both traditional and international/ foreign.

Intro:

either let the beat do that or you can just use complaining statements. lol e.g Ooooh, yeeeh, chai!, etc.

CHORUS

when you are composing your song make sure you use one or more of the melodies(not lyrics) from these singalong songs and include it in your chorus and make sure its not more than 10 words and then repeat it as much as possible.

VERSES

In your verses at one point or the other repeat a line twice with the same melody and then switch melody while making sure you follow the beat .

Nb: Dont get too serious while composing commercial songs cuz they are meant to be danced too.


Guys make una add to am.

akitijackson: I've tried dat before. Infact last night she work me up frm sleep to open d gate for her, nd dis was around 10pm. I had to give her d leftover food cos she said she was hungry...mehn I felt like crying!

Nawa o. na one chance be dis o. but the strategy worked for me though. cuz I had a friend like that also. i just couldnt avoid him. this guy go kom my house everyday. if i return from schoool d next news for my house na "ore e yen ti bere e to emewa" yur friend has been to your house like ten times"..Book i no fit read, to chop belleful na wahalA, my girlfriend go dey inside he go dey like mumu until 1 day my babe use scope pursue am. E be like i be im papa, im brother, im only friend. well i don delete am for my life sha. just like u i am always available and i dont usualy go out. The sooner you delete her from ur life the better o. before it starts to affect ur academic stamina lol.

edozie04: I am not laughing.......

which lagoon u throw ur sense of humour.. laff wan tear my belle jor

Mehn i feel ur pain, i av been through this and i know i will continue to go thru it.

my suggested solution go to your school library or find somewhere else to stay till night and then return home, do this for two weeks and she would get used to you not being around.

Or if u cant do that. Whenever shez comes, make sure lotza textbookz are on the table and keep nagging about the course and d imaginary evil lecturer.

Or next time invite ur other course mates pver and gist bout many things only u and ur course mates know about she will feel left out.. do this for sometime.

that way you wont habe to send her away, because u no know wen u go need her help oooo. I rest my case!

no 7 is hillarious

this is inferiority complex speaking. Also its inferiority complex that makes people pompous just because theyve been admitted into higher institution of learning. people like that needs identity to feel important.

Different strokes for different folks bro. Some guys like to respect women, get to know them well bfore making a move while some guys na vice versa they dont care. Same with girls. Sometimes it depends on the kinda relationship btw you and the babe. is it ur girlfriend. If she is then u truly messed up but if she isnt, den u did the right thing. #my opinion though

pjosh1: Lol!!! Who told you Nairaland is a wordpress site?

Dude he meant, a forum site just like nairaland.

ideepaul: I am a potential 3rd class graduate of geography(grad by April or may 2015). I'm not blaming anyone for my mistakes...I have learn a lot from those experiences (not for today)
I am planning to follow my heart and instinct,but also know someone can give that little advice that can change everything
these are some of my plans
- Tell my parent about the present condition of my academics(done)
- suspend this semester for the sake of planning about me(about to be done)
- start up a temporal phone repairs shop.this is my childhood plan and this talent has been recognized by many in my department (not done)
- get my WASSCE in a sitting by April 2015(not done)
-apply for admission into Computer science,
Computer engineering or elect/elect enginnering or any hardwares related course you can advice by 2016(not done)
- Go to Lagos to learn phone and LCD repairs this year
- I am also considering photography because people say I can snap well but have not gone for any training in photography or photo editing(the part I fear the most)
I would highly appreciate your comments,reservations or objections to any of these goals.. God bless for your Lil time

Wow we share the same or predicament. This is something i would have asked last year only that i have graduated already. Do i feel sober for graduating with third class?. yup! kinda, but when excess thinking and the things i have taken into my system for the sake of trying to avoid third class by all means while i was in school (which was impossible doh) landed me in the sick bed for weeks, i stopped thinking and focused on solutions. Just like you:

-- I informed my parent while i was in 300level. I got Just few mockery and funny abuses and dats all. So do that now bfore its too late.

--luckily for me Assu strike came along and i didnt have to suspend my 400 level second semester. I had enough time to plan for my life though i am still tryna figure out what i truly love rather than speculating and trying every talent i gat. I prayed a lot for wisdom and most of all a retentive memory (my problem). By the end of the strke i realy improved and did very well but it was too late doh. Do not suspend any semester just pray and mmeet with the intelligent ones in your department

-- About the phone repair thing. If thats what you truly wanna do, go and do it. I was told i had the same talent too, to me its just a vague passion and i figured out i wasnt that good in that aspect. And also i discovered that what i love about phone wasnt the hardware but softwares (O.S). So i will prefer to specify on software development. advice take your time to figure out what you realy good Because you are still young and can learn whatever you wanna.

--wow! another wasce, and another jamb in another course. i admire your courage and persistence. Before you do that please try to discover what your problem is, i mean what got you into the third class mess and then you are free to study another course. Because if you dont, you might end up with another one o. or better yet seek advise from stident affairs in your school. And did you know that contrary to general speculations, you can do masters with a third class deree you just gotta do a 1 year post graduate depending on the course and school.

And photography, i was told the same thing, that i am good at taking pictures, even my lil sister could do that with two days training so dats no justification to learn photography. and You just gotta learn photo editting no matter how scared you are, if thats what you realy wanna Do for a living. cuz thats what will differentiate you from the other photographers.

Am currently awaiting NYSC posting and hope to get posted to a land of grace and abundant opportunity where i can showcase, explore and stretch my potential.

Good luck mehn and may God grant you wisdom to make the right choice.

EXCUSE ME!.. God has not forsaken you. you just need to pray more. wake up in the midnight and ask from the almighty what you want with clarification. And be patient. No matter how bad your situation is there are people whose situation is worse. Joining any cult will only give you wealth and not hapiness. I would rather worship the almighty who owns the earth and everything in it. Well, it seems you ve already made up your mind.

To be sincere. I have gained a lot from nairaland in many aspects, from education, to information to finance, etc. And i hope to contribute in whatever way i can. to this beautiful forum.

Wow.

Dygeasy: Yeah right. But the kind eyes some girls go use look you if you say HI to them. Make I nor just talk.

Boys don suffer.

Omo true talk, shoe get size o. You go shadow well before you approach. No b only girls sef dey look like that even sometimes you ask guy for direction. D way im go answer u ehn. u go look yourself whether u shit for body. But na just 10% people dey do like that jare. not everybody

Dygeasy: It's creepy for me to just accost random girls but if I'm in the mood for some play-arounds, I might just say something like "I like your hair", "Your cloth is fine" and I walk away. She must be a chronic saddist not to smile.

I don't fall in love in public places.

hmm thats also cool. But did you notice i said our motives might be different, we approach girls not only for love but also for friendship or fun and experience

oya comments oooo
