Nonsense!!!

This is clearly a doctored picture - Prove me wrong!!


The face is so inconsistent with the body. If you look closely at the part where the shoulder joins the neck, you'd see an unusual sharp edge, akin to an image that has had a part of it cut off with a photo editing tool - PHOTOSHOP!!!

Olekumaster: did i just hear you say too much meat? C'mon!

1. Not emptying your bladder early: Maintaining a full bladder for a long time is a quick way of causing bladder damage. That the urine stays in the bladder for a long time can cause the bacteria breeding in urine to multiply quickly. Once the urine refluxes back to ureter and kidneys, the bacteria can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract infection, and then nephritis, even Uremia.
So, no matter how busy you are, remember to drink a lot of water and urinate regularly. Once you form the habit of holding back urine, it will ultimately damage your kidneys.

2. Not drinking enough water: The main functions of the kidneys are to regulate erythrocyte balances and eliminate metabolic wastes in urine. If we do not drink enough water, the blood will be concentrated and the blood flow to the kidney will not be adequate, thus the function of eliminating toxins in from blood will be impaired.

3. Taking too much salt: 95% sodium we consume through food is metabolized by the kidneys. Exceeding the salt intake will make the kidneys work harder to excrete the excess salt and can lead to decreased kidney function. This excess sodium will cause water retention, causing edema. Edema usually elevates blood pressure and increases the risk of developing kidney disease. The daily salt intake should be controlled within 6g per day.

4. Not treating common infections quickly and properly: Common infections, such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, common cold etc, usually triggers or aggravates kidney damage. They do this by causing an acute attack of acute glomerulonephritis or chronic nephritis. So, you will see that people who get kidney disease for the first time or whose illness condition becomes worse usually present in hospitals with a history of cold or sore throat.
If after having cold, symptoms like blood in urine, swelling, headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, poor appetite appear, you should consult your doctor immediately, to assess your kidney functions, and start treatment if compromised.

5. Eating too much meat: Eating too much meat and protein can increase the metabolic load of the kidney. For those suffering from proteinuria, meat consumption too may aggravate protein leakage, worsening renal pathological lesion.
It is suggested that protein intake should be 0.8g/kg per day. This means that a person with 50 kg should consume 40g of protein per day. Meat consumption per day should be limited within 300g.

6. Not eating enough: This is equally as dangerous as eating too much, both of them will lead damages to your digestive organs where is full of mucosal tissues. Mucosal tissues relates closely to your immune system. This is why many kidney failure patients are diagnosed with “autoimmune kidney damages”.

7. Painkiller abuse: The use of analgesics for a prolonged duration may reduce the flow blood and greatly affect kidney function. In addition, patients with analgesic-induced renal failure are more likely to suffer from bladder cancer.
Use analgesics only when it's absolutely necessary, learn to rest instead of taking to the bottles. If you have been on pain killers for a long term, it's about time you had a test to access you renal function done.

8. Missing your drugs: Hypertension and diabetes have been shown to precipitate or accelerate kidney damage, so if you are diagnosed as having any of these disease don't live your life in denial, USE YOUR DRUGS.
This will ultimately help control your condition while also helping to preserve your kidneys.

9. Drinking too much alcohol: Drinking alcohol without limitation may cause the deposition of uric acid in renal tubules, causing tubular obstruction and increasing risks of kidney failure.

10. Not resting enough: In our society, hypertension as a severe threat to life is largely due to stress. A common symptom of stress is insomnia. Blood pressure may increase by an average of 2-5mg/Hg because of insomnia. Chronically elevated blood pressure can cause damage to kidney capillaries giving rise to kidney problems. Thus, we need to develop a good attitude to life and strike a good balance between work and rest to protect your kidneys and live a healthy life.

At the early stage of kidney diseases, there are usually no the special symptoms, so lots of patients are not diagnosed until the acute attack appears or the illness condition develops into the late stage. So you should endeavor to do kidney function test from time to time to assess how healthy your kidneys are.

Never ignore the soreness of waist, swelling of the feet, changes in urine color or volume, increase in night urination, palor, high blood pressure and other such symptoms. Once found, you should go and see your doctor immediately.

Stegomiah: I read some threads here and i was prompted to create this thread.
Most fathers have forgotten dia roles/ responsibilities, some thinks providing for the needs of the family is their only responsibility, some are in diaspora, a gentleman created a thread searching for his father, although i don't know how many years but i pitied him.

Some fathers are just useless, some refuse to claim responsibility of dia very own child, some left the poor woman αlσиє with her kid, some carry prostitutes about, some always drink themselves to stupor, although being a teetotal does not guarantee u to be a real dad and some are lazy and jobless, and are as good as being dead.

What exactly are the roles of a father? this thread is to remind you of your roles, duties and responsibilities to your family and the society.
Below are the roles of a father;

1. Good Example

Your life is like a book they are reading, they are watching you, your actions, your deeds...
Be a good example in character, in conversation, in your actions and deeds... Live an examplary life.

2. Priest/Imam

Let them know the way of the God you serve, teach and lead them to pray and live a godly life.
'The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom'.

3. Provider

Do not let your family suffer, you are the bread winner of the house and it is your responsibility to provide for them.
Provide them food, shelter and clothings, provide for your child the best legacy and investment which is Education. Do not be lazy, be hardworking and God will crown your efforts!

4. Protector

It is your role to protect your family. Protect them from the evil vices of this world, stand up and defend your family when necessary.
I remembad i read a touching story in the dailies about a Man who died while trying to prevent armed robbers from raping his wife, he said i can't watch it happen, i'll rather die, he killed two of them, before he was shot dead and they were unable to rape the woman. The wife said 'my husband died a heroe', and she would never forget that. That family will forever be proud of their father, that is a real Father!

5. Playmate

It is not only your wife you have to play with, also play with your children. Take them out, walk hand in hand with them, buy the young ones toys, play games, basketball, golf and other sports with the elder ones too, once in a while take them out to the cinemas, out for shopping, take them on vacations.. cos those moments are unforgettable.

6. Companion

Always be there for your family, cos they need you. Be with your children on their first day at school, on their graduation and most importantly on their wedding day! Be with your wife during pregnancy and labour period, be with them on anniversaries like birthday, christmas...

7. Teacher

Teach your children what to do, when and how. Teach them your religion beliefs, also go through their homeworks.
'One real father is better than a thousand headmasters', '
charity, education begins at home'.

8. Trainer

Train them in Gods way, train them to be good and law abiding citizens, train them on their responsibilities to the family, the school, religion and the society.
Don't forget child training has more to do with your lifestyle than what you tell them i.e it has more to do with what they seee than what they hear, that is why you must be a good example to them.

9. Servant

Render selfless service to your family, it shouldn't be all about you, buy clothes for every one before buying for yourself.
Jesus washed his disciples feet, serve them at home, serve at work, serve in ur place of worship. Do not be proud, cos pride goeth before a fall!

10. L♥√ع

The greatest gift a father can offer his children is to L♥√ع their mother.
Also L♥√ع your children, make them feel at home, make them feel welcomed, be a good listener, let them feel the fatherly warmth and embrace.
Finally, once in a yl, tell them 'you L♥√ع them'. I can never forget a day i was mad at my dad and i refused to come home, it was getting late and he was concerned, i refused to pick his calls, then he sent me a text telling me how much he loves me, he pleaded that i should come home so we can settle. Yl reading the text i bursted into tears and started running home, 4got 2 say goodbye 2 my fwend whom i was with! When i got home he embrace me and said he was sorry, i was lyk i L♥√ع you too dad... For a very long time, i had that text on my phone, am pretty sure av read the text over a thousand times, it was a moment i still cherish. Say dos 3 words, it works like magic.

Fathers, your child needs you, your wife needs you, your family needs you, and the society needs you, your children defines your family, your family defines our society, our society defines the Nation and the world at large.
Be a responsible father, a point of reference most of all make your family to be proud of you.

nenergy: Hahahaha. It was a sunday morning. There was no crowd at all, so i had the time.

dayokanu: Lied about money would only pain an intending Gold digger.

If you marry a guy because he told you his Dad owns the stadium and his mom owns the airport then you be mugu

Like Salawa Abeni said, Alagbari loga Mugu

greatgod2012: Personally, cheating will hurt me more.
As per lying that you are wealthy or rich when you are not, that is the person's problem, im not in any way going into any relationship with anyone because of his financial status. I have been trained to make my own money myself, i have the belief that i can achieve whatever i want to achieve in life without any financial expectation from any man, so lying about his financial status cannot directly affect me but cheating on me can and will directly affect me, psychologically, emotionally and physically.
May God help us all

Hearme: The NGF is so powerful that it was able to break the strength of OBJ.
OBJ to me has another plan different from Yar Adua. It was when this forum
saw how Ribadu was indicting all of them that they took a stand that the next
president must be from the NGF and suddenly several PDP governors came out to contest.
Since the state owns the delegates and the governors some how owns the delegates, OBJ had to go for
someone they did not expect who even did not come out to campaign to break there plans.

I remember one of the words of Ibori was that, they agreed that a governor must be the next president
and whosoever becomes the president will not probe any of them. Even as innocent as Yaradua looks he respected the agreement by releasing Alamesigha and in a very un-freindly way threw Ribadu out of office.
Several suits on all this Governors became thrown out of the court and not one of the ex-governors is still been jailed today aside Ibori who is in jail in the UK.

I agree with those who believe GEJ wants to divide the forum. This is because if Amaechi remains the chairman, he can as well influence the governors and the delegates from there states to vote out GEJ during PDP primaries. I also want to give KUDOS to FASHOLA who is playing is part as a learned person to cleanse himself and show to Nigerians and the International community that we are not all MAD in Nigeria. Its a big disgrace to our governors who can not conduct a free and fair election. Somehow I think the presidency is enjoying the video game. But I believe the court will intervene appropriately.
