I tried the grilled chicken on Sunday. I rubbed with my sabo suya seasoning and turned the heat really low . . . .lovely. Thank you Jare

We are well jare. How far?

Good to hear - you need to share recipe/source for the seasoning 0! Planning BBQ at some point - it sounds like it may wow the guests.

TV01 hello,
I have been an avid ghost follower of your dieting and exercise tips and I want to commend you for a job well done.
I recently discovered seafood (octupus and calamari to be exact) and wanted to know if it's a good health chioce. I intend to use it in replacing my savories, meats and pork.

Cheers bro'.

I am not that familiar re cooking with octopus, although I do know its considered quite nutritious. I wonder about pricing and how readily available it is - although I probably shouldn't as I visit a fishmongers every week. I'll certainly ask, and look into this myself.

We don't really buy red meat at home, with the exception of goat meat occasionally when entertaining. I'm also keen to incorporate lamb which I really like but haven't quite mastered.

I'll have a steak sometimes when eating out and I'm on an eternal quest for "the steak". Pork is off-menu for wifey so typically don't, but may if I'm out with others.

Sounds like a good choice all round.

bukatyne:
Hi, How are you and family?

Very well jare - I trust likewise

bukatyne:
It is a fact that most of Nigerian husbands with earning wives are NOT primary providers.

Please evidence this fact - until you do, it remains an opinion; no matterhow strongly asserted.

Or perhaps be kind enough to explicate on wht you mean by "primary providor". I would equate it to "main", but be it main or sole, men are still "primary"

bukatyne:
There is a difference between primary provider and sole provider so single mothers is outside the scope of this discussion.

We know that, and the inclusion of single mothers was just to show that even if we include them, men still remain the "main providor" in most households.

bukatyne:
IMHO only a single mother who does not get any form of child/spousal support can claim to be a sole breadwinner.

This is irrelevent, but it is what the reports are based on. Earners/breadwinners - whatever the structure of the household.


TV

bukatyne:
So NOT true.

Nothing wrong with joint spending (to me that 's the ideal) BUT the idea that many Nigerian husbands are primary bread winners is a fallacy spinned on Nairaland

Hello Bukatyne, How far? Agreed on "joint spending", noting that does not necessarily denote equal.

But I'm still going to have to challenge you on this one . Can you show any reputable source that confirms "many" husbands are not the primary bread winners in Nigerian families? Let alone in "most" homes husbands are the primary bread winners in Nigeria?

What you've boldly termed a "NL bourne fallacy" is the real life situation of many in Nigeria. I doubt you'll even find anything to the contrary.
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/67332/Gender-Nigeria2012-summary.pdf

Although things are changing, and the "male as sole/primary breadwinner" model is diminishing, even in the West, men are still overwhelmingly the main breadwinners.

Even if you count households where women are the only provider i.e. single-parent homes, there are still more homes where men are the main provider - http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/30/business/economy/women-as-family-breadwinner-on-the-rise-study-says.html?_r=0

Logicalmind1:
My point is that if everyone start condemning and saying there is no gay christian

There "is no gay christian". Christians do not identify themselves by their sin, wear it like a badge of honour, insisting it must be normalised and the bible revised to depict it as moral.

Logicalmind1:
when we are not perfect, then there is no Christian at all because we have all sinned.

Your position is a mistaken interpretation of scripture, or simply a failure to grasp the difference between acknowledging and repenting of sin and demanding that one' sin is not actually sin - contrary to how the scriptures clearly label it.

Logicalmind1:
Mere lust is a sin and when we admire opposite sex, 99.9% of it was borne out of lust even if we surpress it and didn't act on it, it's still a SIN.

And acknowledging ones sinfulness, repenting and praying for deliverance from it is part of being a Christian. Perfection is end-game, not required at outset - sinlessness is to be strived for and readily obtainable in Christ. As opposed to righteousness which is imputed.

A person who is a christian can struggle with same-sex attraction, delivery is like that from any other sin. A person with SSA who insists that it is right, normal, moral and qualifies himself and his christianity with it, is not a christian. Righteouss judgement right there !

Logicalmind1:
Lastly, I don't believe in what I wrote.
See how bible contradicted itself, and I became an atheist.

Feel free to believe whatsoever you choose. The confusion here is yours, not the bibles.

Never cooked duck
When you say grill the chicken do you mean boil/roast and grill or do you put it straight under the grill?
Fed up of chicken now anyway - unbeleivable
Ive eaten so much of the stuff

I was reading about carb cycling and it sounds really interesting
But cant find any decent menus for each cycle
I will probably end up writing my own book in the end

Straight under the grill, or in the oven.

TV01:
Presumably you swap chicken with duck, fish, other at times?

salsera:
Do you only eat chicken? There's fish of all sorts to grill as well as the wide range of seafood options
I dont boil chicken before I grill it, i clean, then make cuts in the flesh so when i cover it with spices they all go in. then I pop it in the grill. It takes about 30-45 minutes ( i leave the skin) and i keep the heat low so it doesnt dry up.

Mix it up CC. Fish can be an acquired taste. Experiment and try different types & methods of cooking.


TV

I could talk on this for days, but let me be brief.

Anyone who is looking to "a man (or woman) of God" in order to direct his or her life is not actually a mature enough person/christian to be married. Such a one is best avoided, not least because they are also probably subject to "cult-like" influences/behaviour.

A particular note for men, be wary of "christian sisters" who use the rerm "my pastor says" a lot. "Mypas" girls as I term them rarely know the faith for themselves.

They will prioritise, "mypastor", "mychurch", "myministry" over you in courtship, and likely usurp your authority by apealing to church elders/pastors when you are married.

Marriage is first and foremost a family affair. And it can be undertaken without any recourse to "church". Your family shoul dalways be your first port of call for advice - indeed, they are responsible for inculcating a marriage culture within you in the first place.

Having said that, ther is nothing wrong in seeking wise counsel from elders or mature brethren. Many churches have worthy singles/marrieds programs. and one should always marry a fellow christian, with agreement on the Christian essentials i.e. submission .

What can I do with chicken please
Low Carb please
Apart from slinging it on the BBQ and with salad, and chicken breasts with sliced peppers what else can I do with it to make a decent meal?

Stuff it !

I'm afraid options are limited. I tend to grill using different spice combos. You can swap salad for veg or grilled veg (which is bbq'ish in a way). You can also casserole, but the temptation wil be to add, rice, roast potatoes etc., which is what I do on occassion - albeit in small measure - but you are trying to avoid totally right? Zero tolerance !

Chicken breast? I only ever have drumsticks or thighs, they are more nutritious and I like a little tendon to chew on sometimes ! Presumably you swap chicken with duck, fish, other at times?

Hey Coach TV01

Seen the videos though I first fear hehe but I'll try them out and let you know which I find difficult to do
SO i need to get the weights and buy skipping rope
I intend to sort out next week and start.

Thanks

Holá,

Me sef, typing it was one thing - only URL's - when it appeared on screen - with videos embedded - I was like, ye!

The videos are for instruction regards each exercise - which is only to be done once - I put a number so you could perfect form and experiment with variations.

You do not need to buy weights or a skipping rope. Start with the weights you have - or with no weights were possible. Then if it's too easy/as you progress, you can add/increase the weights.

I actually thought you said you had a skipping rope. If you don't, you can do fast knee raises with your hands held high and/or jogging on the spot to warm up instead. It's good to learn how to improvise and vary things. It can prevent boredom, or making excuses for not exercising.

Schedule your slots beforehand so you are mentally prepared and also plan your meals so you don't just eat whatever comes to hand !

I'll await your feedback. All the best.

edwife:
Lol,i take as many advices and tips as possible.I only need to see the result,that's all that matter.

So it's a warm-up?lol i use 18 kg dumb-shells with both hands and do 30 sets X 3 with 3 min rest in between.I won't deny that it is not working,i see results,i just wanted to make sure.

But you are obviously using it for a full workout, which is fine as it works the whole body. Should work and trim everything with that many sets and repititions - do you use a dumbell or kettlebell?

Must say, I'm impressed - 18 KG even if it's double handed. I've used 24kg before, but I prefer to stick to 16kg, although I do it single handed, as opposed to double. For the most part I use 12kg - I was using 7kg for years till my gym buddies dissed me !

Generally I agree. And they are borderline delusional about it. But not in Andy' case.

pickabeau1:
every nation hypes their player
Murray is not even hyped in my opinion so naijababe is right..u should watch the way Marca hypes Real Madrid or the Spainish team
He just has the expectation of the whole country on his shoulders

bellong:
TV and Naijababe,

I am in no way dismissing Murray's quality and ability, he is a good tennis player. However, the British press is known for blowing his ability out of proportion like they always do for their average football player.

I explained why I said he is overhyped. When they begin to compare him with the King and prince of tennis, is that not taking his luck too far?

No one is comparing him to the greats - even the 3 greats still active now.

As Pick rightly notes, it's not the hype, it's the expectation - I honestly felt the contry' literal demand that he win Wimbledon would cause him to meltdown. He not only won it, he won it in straight sets - and against an all time great.




TV

Kimoni:
I go with Bellong on this one. Murray is overhyped esp in UK, someone whose most loyal fan would dare not place a bet on in a GS final

He is not overhyped in Britain - no one is placing him amongst the greats. He cannot be overhyped in Britain - he's the best we have and the only one to deliver for ages .

Kimoni:
You and I know he cannot improve his game better than he has done, he has since passed that curve.

Now that he has sidelined Mauresmo, things can only get better.

Kimoni:
Speaking as someone who likes his personality a lot, I am also being very objective

Not him, his pushy mum or his potty-mouthed wife.

^{In the past 5 years, only 6 players have won GS tourneys. Bro' Andy is among !}

Morning Coco,

So, first you said it was a "denial of rights", and I asked which right eactly? From where? And are there other rights where that came from?
Then it was an "Inequality", I queried how it was "unequal" and what we were supposed to be making equal and for whom?
Then you said it was "injustice", to which I responded, which injustice exactly ?

No replies to any of the questions, a deft skirting of the obvious issues, and a limited focus on what are no more than platitudes. Now you introduce the notion of "unfair"


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUfU1arc0Es

cococandy:
@bold, When you see people subjected to it holding placards to protest it, then You know it's unfair to them.

Coco c'mon. So anyone protesting - with placards - has a de facto case of discrimination against them? Or are obviously being treated unfairly? Like the women who protested plans to outlaw traveling to Europe for prostitution?

cococandy:
Or if I put myself in those shoes and wouldn't like it when such conditions are imposed on me, then I don't need a scientist to tell me that it would be unfair if allowed by law.

There are brother and sister couples who consider their inability to marry "unfair", likewise some "animal lovers". So anyone who feels "unfairly treated" or "hard done by" has an inherent case for a legal remedy?

Which conditions are imposed on gay people or anyone whose relationship does not qualify as marriage? Asking for marriage is asking for conditions to be imposed upon you

cococandy:
It's that simple.

No. And a simplistic and reductionist approach in order to ride roughshod over the obvious arguments does not make it so.

cococandy:
No law can force me to marry a fellow woman so giving homosexuals a right to marry each other.

cococandy:
But a law that allows polygamy can can directly affect me and force me to tolerate that in my own life even when it is unfair and affects me negatively.

So allowing people to choose polygamy and call it marriage can force you to be part of a polygamous relationship? Really? Because you are forced to stay married, or forced to take more husbands, or your husband forced to take more wives?

And denying polygamist the right to their choices, due to erroneous and unfair supposition that allowing them that right to their choices, may affect you, is not unfair? When you married in Nigeria, did you for one moment think polygamy being legal would affect your union?

cococandy:
See where my distinguishing of fair and unfair lies?

You haven't distinguished, just drawn an odd comparision.

All good. I thought this philosophy may bring some new and deep insight. Enough. And I won't even bother to discuss this from a scriptural perspective, not least because of what the notions you've introduced imply - I simply cannot see how they can be reconciled with the bible.

bellong:
Murray... Overhyped player.... He was taught a lesson in tennis by the king of the game on Friday...

naijababe:
@ bellong, how is Murray an overhyped player? I smell typical bad belle for the Brits

Ha, ha - the Scots stoutly defending their own

I have to go with NaijaBabe here. Murray is not overhyped. Nobody is placing him up with Fed, Novak or Rafa - indeed, few male players of any era could compete with those 3 in their pomp. And Fed is arguably the best ever.

Having said that, Murray is at worst par with Wawrinka in the immediate chasing pack - and Wawrinka joined him there, not the other way around. Murray has won 2 of the 4 GS' and been a fnalist in at least 6. Absent the aforementioned 3 legends of the game - or in most other eras - he would almost certainly have had more success to date.

He is still consistently ranked in the top 5, and has been so for the last 5 years. And, he still has the scope to improve his game. It's hard not to see him racking up more big wins, but even if he doesn't he has done very well and whilst he may not be amongst the greats, he is not overhyped.

Speaking as someone who doesn't like him myself, but objectively? he good. Abi make we go bring the toothless Tiger Tim out of retirement ! Fine English boi - no huzzle !


TV

salsera:
Gulp! What size weights were you ermmm thinking of abeg make e no pass 5kg.

My diet
So I'm increasing eggs and fish/seafood intake. Beef though I find minced meat easier to chew.
For the fats, can adding more icecream (with more cream than sugar ) suffice. Then cheese and I suppose more milk. Any other ideas.
So I googled burpees,squat thrusts and star jumps. What do you mean by HIIT?
So if you're thinking 3 sessions per week then how long would the sessions.

Morning,

No fear - 5k should do it, no less than 4 sha 0!

Good work on the diet. More ice-cream? That wasn't what I had in mind - ice creams should be an occassional treat. Think milk, eggs and cheese - as you've mentioned - but even better, more good fats from things like salmon, avocadoes etc. - check out you ur omega 3's & 6's

High Intensity Interval Training. The Idea is to work at a high intensity for longer - burns more, more quicjkly and for a while after. Three sessions p/w should take about 30 mins (with extra for warming up & stretching).

You should get a feel from this and build it uo if it's not tasking you enough. We will then increase as your body adapts - by either increasing the weights, reps, adding exercises, creating new routines or varying the routine.

Don't worry if you can't acquire the weights straight away - I'll be really impressed if you can procure kettlebells - as we can start with what you have, or even just body weight. In fact, it may be best to calibrate first - who knows, you may need like 10kgs !

I think it's time to put something together - so I'l post something hopefully later today, but no later than this time tomorrow.

Final questions;

Do you have slots in mind? It would be best to spread them as evenly as possible
Do you have an exercise mat
Do you have a skipping rope

Don't forget to take readings before you start and then at the same time every week thereafter. Do no fuss over weight loss or individual readings - and think about a long-term goal.


TV

...ah! I thought you'd be out and I could sneak off to bed. Owanbe has knackered me today ! You didn't respond to my point about rights, but no problem.

cococandy:
If the polygamous marriage was fair to all parties concerned in it, I wouldn't hate it.

Why is up to us to determine what is fair? Fair may not even form part of the rational of those entering into it, or they may desire it whatever the fairness.

cococandy:
So it's not about morality but about a sense of social justice. If something is unfair to someone I can't possibly justify it because religion permits it.

So in lieu of "rights you have "justice". So again, what injustice is being meted out to homosexuals by them not being able to enter into an institution that is not based on orientation, but sexual differentiation - they are in fact rejecting it by their own choices.

cococandy:
There are practices that one can say yes it's other people belief so it's fine. Eg two people of same sex getting married. While there are some that while they favor one party is unfair to another party so definitely supporting it because it's part of the belief for the people who practice is supporting a social injustice. Eg marriage inequality such as polygamy or child marriage. Where one party in the union is obviously favored at the detriment of the other.

I think I've partially answer this above. But it's clear that this whole discussion has to be framed around notions that don't really bear scrutiny. What exactly does marriage have to be considered in terms of "equality/inequality" as opposed to what constitutes marriage?

Marriage not being permitted for a couple of the same sex is not "inequality" - it's a fail on the part of the couple to qualify. Made more apparent as to re-define iot to admit them changes what it is - "gay marriage" does not make marriage equal,it changes what marriage is.

cococandy:
I don't even mention Christianity or morality when I talk about why I dislike polygamy.
It's Plainly from a social pov.

I can make the Christian argument - and not just the case against sin - and the social one. Good Christian doctrine accords with both truth and morality.

Give sin an inch and it will take a mile. Sin cannot brook dissent or share space. The consciences of those that glory in it will not hear a word against it, or rest until all celebrate it, or opposition is silenced. Wait and see - that's not even prophecy.

cococandy:
It is also funny you find TRUE Christians who can reconcile polygamy and their faith huh? And become true Christians on different threads as the opportunity leads.

I'm not aware of such, and I personally don't make that case.

I do have a lot of floor space to work with. I can register with a gym if necessary we have a few in my estate.

Equipment - hmmm apart from a mat, stretch bands and small weights 1-2kg

You work form home se? Well you can workout from home as well - gym is only really required if 1. You don't have a convenient space at home or 2. you want to do classes.

Having said that, as much as I used to despise conventional gyms and classes - I've since repented. The right class and the right instructors can work wonders. Some classes also have a real good vibe from the attendees, which can motivate and push.

Assuming you have no serious medical problems or injuries, I would suggest 3 sessions a week to begin. If you do use a gym, think about classes like "body pump", which use weights, along with body weight and will also keep you working at a fairly high pace.

Then we should think about a routine you can port between home space and a gym studio. I think the weights you currently have are on the small side for some of the things I have in mind.

I'm not that conversant with stretch bands, so I don't know if there is anyway we can use these to replicate the effect of slightly heavier weights. We could use compound moves using body weight only as a compromise.

What are you thoughts re plans to tweak your diet?

So, this "right" that we have been denying gays that you conjured up out of nowhere, upon what is it predicated? Is it love? dignity? orientation? consent? harm? Please tell us upon what it rests.

And then please tell us if these predicates cannot rightly be applied to polygamous marriage - which thing you hate amongst a number of other domestic arrangements or relationships, without being hypocritical.

-holá Ihe, apologies for the delay, owanbe cash me !

cococandy:
I do 5mins.

That's what letting other people have the same right to be married as I do means.

Coco! Coco!! Coco!!!

I'd like to be a fly on the wall in your philosophy class Na liberal arts college? Although I guess in the US they all are now !

Let's take it as read to start, that a right to marry exists - homosexuals have never been denied the right to marry. We first have to ask what marriage is - it's "the lifelong union of a man and a woman"

It's a sexually differentiated union, not one based on "orientation" (if we actually agree that orientation is a thing - and homosexuality is not an identity, more a lifestyle, no matter how strongly one is inclined towards it).

So the requisites for marriage have always been male and female and not contravening any of the particulars, consent, mental competence,not too closely related, majority age etc.

In order for two people of the same sex to marry, we have to re-define marriage or create a new right based on different criteria. Nobody has a right to demand that their relationship be termed marriage - just because they desire it - or redefine marriage.

So homosexuals have all the rights you have - what they are after is a new one or too re-define an existing one into meaninglessness so they can participate.

Afterall, if two "straight" men applied for a marriage license, why would they be denied? It was never about orientation, it was about sexual differentiation, not about anumus towards gays, about the outcome of the conjugal relationship between "straights" - said thing gays reject and cannot accomplish.

Feel free to raise this philosophically in class before you reply !

Whatever it takes is good for me.
Yeah I think I need more protein(that has always been my challenge) and fat( what food will give me more of that)

What equipment do you have available/can you procure?
Do you have a gym membership or a space where you can workout?
Anyone you can buddy up with?

What are your ideas/plans for upping your protein intake - itf you are going to embark on a programme, you need to have this figured out.

I'm going mostly with my original call; compound movements which work the large muscle groups. We can incorporate, squat thrusts, burpees, star jumps etc. which will help tone and make sure you don't miss out on cardio - I'd avoid running and spin/bike type exercises for now - they are better for people trying to shed weight.

As for fat, think diary products - though not to excess. Things like offal (shaki, liver, kidneys, bokoto etc.) are all good in addition to the normal red meat, chicken and fish. But you don't have to worry overly about skinlessness or ensuring the cuts are extra lean - lucky you .

Let me know re the questions and I can consider and advise - please take all your readings - height, weight, stats etc., before starting.

I don't think your diet is at all bad, but I'm thinking you need to eat more protein and fat - even at breakfast - and especially if you are going to undertake a regime that will build you up a bit, without being drained.

With the diagrams you put then I'm an ectomorph. I have broad shoulders and my waist line is genetic even when I weighed 50kg in my teens my waistline was 28in. It just juts out in clothes like I'm bloated.

Pretty much what I envisioned, which is why I'm wondering why you are specific about your waist? Could it be that there's a little "marbling", i.e. a little excess around there, and evidence elsewhere as well?

About the dance, I used to dance with a group then I did social dancing around salsa clubs. But now its the distance and work gives me no time. Dancing on my own is no fun.

Given how easy dance is interms of convenience - I see solo dancers in my gym studios all the time, and do you even need a studio - I was mostly concerned about where you would fit in any kind of exercise. Do you have the time - or should I say wil you be able to make the time?

salsera:
I cant afford to lose weight, it took discipline to add what I did. My metabolism is pretty high so when I don't eat enough I lack energy, get headaches etc. Anything less than 60kg I'll be underweight.

Which is why I'd actually limit the cardio, it tends to drain if you are not an endo or meso. It's mainly going to be big compound movements, weights etc. for you

salsera:
My current diet
Bread twice a month
Okele's mainly semovita. Eba pounded yam - very rare and amala Never.
I don't take sugar or fizzy drinks. Usually one or bottles 25cl a month. Cakes n icecream are treats usually twice a month or even less.
I eat protein everyday more skinless chicken and fish occasionally beef.
Take veggies and fruits, make smoothies. Take unsweetened yoghurt.

Take water over any other drink. Though I take Milo with milk about 5days a week. No added sugar.
No chocolates,sweets,pastries,croissants etc.
Rice about twice a week.

Did I miss anything out.

Not too fussed about your diet at the mo' - not that it looks that bad - but pile on the protein and fats (yes I said fats). You don't even have to avoid chicken skin if you don't want , shaki, bokoto, the works.

But the real key for you wil be exercises. More later.

Anyway, we agreed to accommodate him for free

Which is good, but presumably you put a time span on this? Six to 12 months max - however good or bad he is. He's a young man, he needs to be out fending for himself and making his own way - it will "grow him" and serve him well.

In the interim, package this one well and hand it to oga. No third parties 0!

...imitation they say "is the sincerest form of flattery".

It's actually not an easy one. The forceful mainstreaming of homosexuality is going to cause all kinds of conflict.

Presumably he drives a vehicle owned/operated by a cab firm. He can't deny them a fare due to their "orientation", but I can appreciate how he would have taken offence when their homosexuality "was in view" and he was now somehow party to it - that's where I personally draw the line.

But he can't ask them to get out, moreso if they haven't violated the cab firms policy. Would he have acted likewise with a normal couple who were perhaps unmarried? Or even married sef??

He may have to decide if it's something his conscience can bear, or simply find other employment. I donlt see how htey'll be able ot make any accomodation for his objection at work. Canada is really heavy-handed on non-compliance with the prevailing homorthodoxy, so he may yet suffer further for his actions. I'm surprised there hasn't been a lawsuit.
