You just proved my point with your ranting. Not a single focus on the points raised about Islam which at its best is radical all over. What you have done is tried to equate islam with other religions therefore fulfilling this quote. "Point is don't try and put this man's acts which are mostly due to his radical form of religion in the same basket as those who practice other religion."
And let's be real, you never knew anyone who refused to shake hands with anyone,.you made that crap up as you went along. I know I've dealt with your kind along the way. While I remain relaxed having a nice warm cup of coffee, I can see your getting angry and about to explode.

LOL at "getting angry and about to explode". People like you just like to portray yourself as "know-it-all". I didn't know you have a fibre optics visual sensor. If you can really see me getting angry, tell me what the color of my shirt is. Kidding, anyway. My point is, never jump to conclusions based on assumptions.

As for your saying that I made up what I claimed I saw, well, you're free to believe what you like or not. I don't have to waste my time trying to convince you with further details.

Enjoy your "cup of coffee".

Wrong statement again. Conservative Muslims are not to be put in the same boat as those from other religions. We all really know what the so called conservative Muslims are capable of, I know I've lived all around the world and it's the same picture.

And someone here can't draw a line between conservative and being extremist. Anyway, I can see where you're coming from.

DonDiego:
Actually, the type of education over which the minister presides is such that bigotry and insular religious practices are anathema to it. Maybe, the minister should consider being the minister of madrasas. That, I assure you, will give him the freedom to not even see the faces of the females in that type of education system.

Good suggestion, but direct it to the right authorities.

pneme:
You should have stopped with the part where you said "I know conservative Muslims who don't shake hands with non-related members of the opposite sex."

The other part about conservative Christians is nonsense. Even deeper life who are quite conservative shake hands but do not hug.

You are similar to those who say they are bad eggs in every religion while blindly turning your eyes away from the fact that almost every terrorist act on earth is carried out by a certain religion. Point is don't try and put this man's acts which are mostly due to his radical form of religion in the same basket as those who practice other religion. You moved away from the fact that his act was a signal of radical Islam at work in him.

Don't be myopic! And you have no right to tell me stop my sentence without completing it. I had some Christian ladies in my class in the university who never shook hands with guys. If you've not met such, that's not my problem, but a deficit in your level of exposure.

From your comment, I can deduce that you're a Christian, and that's why you were quick to say what I said about conservative Christians was nonsense. Well, there's nothing as true as reality. I've seen them and knew them for years. Not many, though. And we never saw them as radical Christians.

Leave anyone to practice his or her religion to whatever extent he or she likes. That's my own. If you're not the religious type, that's your choice. For those who are religious, that's their choice as well. Enough of all these rantings as if the man has committed a crime.

woodmood:
The issue of CBN re-introducing N100 fee monthly as ATM change is there for NIgerian youths to debate, March against people in authority yet they are busy debating whether a minister should shake women or not.
What a tragedy.

You get it. I'm just weak for Nigerian youths.

DonDiego:
This is nonsense. If you want to be a conservative religionist of any hue, maybe you should stay away from occasions or appointments that'll bring you in touch with those you do not think are human enough for you to dignify with a hand shake.

Everytime people will be justifying absolute bigotry with a load of crappy excuses.

Conservative people who are truly sincere to their religion will never bend any rules because of political appointments or whatever. And they're present in every religion -- Islam, Christianity, Judaism, etc.

Until the constitution outlaws such people, people like you can only rant on.

ZombiePUNISHER:
What a F*ck are you saying
Nigeria is a secular state
Nothing like Christian or Muslim bulls*it on state functions
That dude should resign ASAP
Unless Nigeria is an Islamic country

And one more thing? Do you visit most government agencies and offices during Christmas? Do you see heavily decorated they are with Christmas trees and other decorations? Is the same done during Muslim celebrations? No! Even hospitals like LUTH where I work do the same. Is LUTH is a christian hospital? So, if you have to attack at all, attack both religions, not just the one you hate or are aware of.

As for Nigeria being a secular country, that's a widely generated fallacy. A check your dictionary for the meaning of "secular". A secular country does not recognize religious holidays. Rather, Nigeria is a multi-religious country.

ZombiePUNISHER:
What a F*ck are you saying
Nigeria is a secular state
Nothing like Christian or Muslim bulls*it on state functions
That dude should resign ASAP
Unless Nigeria is an Islamic country

So, because he is a Muslim, he has to renounce his religion or religious values because he took a political appointment. Please tell that shit to the dogs!

Bring a part of the constitution that makes what he did wrong. If there’s none, then stay off my mention!

His choice. So, what? I know conservative Muslims who don't shake hands with non-related members of the opposite sex. I've also met conservative christians who don't do it. So, why should people make a big deal out of nothing?

It's quite funny how Nigerians prefer to search for the next person to criticize and vent their frustrations on rather than engage in activities that would better their own lives.

seunmarytemi:
when I was in teens stage my period flow for 7 days but for past 3years now it doesn't flow normal, it only flow for 3days + 2days spot, my last period start on 29 of March 2017 I was expecting the next one to come out on 29 or 30th of April but it doesn't, not until 8 of May, the first day of my period was normal that was on the 8th why the blood on the second day was not much at all, last night/this morning no blood come out.
Am just 24years old, pls am scared help God bless

And you think a public forum is the right place to reveal a very private and personal health challenge like yours?

Your best bet is to visit a seasoned gynecologist to get yourself assessed and treated well for any impending or established pathologies.

Julius2214:
Search naija on Google and be surprised.

And to your question OP, it depends on your content. If you are targeting only Nigerians, "naija" is OK and forget what the guy above me said about Google not understanding the word. It's not true.

But using "Nigerian" is necessary if your content is not meant for Nigerian audience alone because they might not understand the slang.

Not that it even matter anyways, but using a term or language that is not familiar with your audience as your domain may/will cause you to loose type-in traffic. There's no way they would come back if they don't remember the domain

Based on my experience of Google keyword research, more than 90 percent of Google users in Nigeria use the word "Nigeria" and "Nigerian" in their search queries. So, from an SEO standpoint, "Nigerian" is better.

As for Google reckoning with the name "Naija", well it only takes it as a synonym for "Nigeria". And that's why a Google search including "Naija" would return many results with "Nigeria" included, but it doesn't happen the other way round.

LionDeLeo:
OP, you must be very funny. Go to any NYSC orientation camp and interact with university "graduates". You will come back and edit your post.

This is very true. If you encounter some real dullards in NYSC camp, you'll lose hope in this country.

If you really love yourself (or that person close to you who has high BP), you'll rather stay with medical anti-hypertensives that have been proven to work. A man presented at our accident and emergency in LUTH few months back after he came down with stroke. You know why? He stopped using the drugs doctors prescribed for him few days before then just because one "caring" friend introduced a potent herbal anti-hypertensive concoction to him. Note that his drugs have been working well for him before then, but he wanted to cut corners.

With N5,000 or less per month, you'll be able to get anti-hypertensive drugs that will improve the patient's quality of life. If you think that's too much, then wait until the person experiences the complications. As for the man I was talking about, he left LUTH after 4 weeks with an unbalanced gait (which may or may not improve over time) and after paying hundreds of thousands of naira in hospital bills.

Once again, if you really love yourself (or that person close to you who has high BP), stick with the drugs, and everything would be fine.

GreatHercules:
I have just these words to say, if this answer is far from brilliant, kindly give us a brilliant answer that'll sell a pen.

My post contained tips clear enough to help any smart person come up with a brilliant answer. There's no one hard-and-fast answer; any answer can be brilliant provided it focuses on buyer benefits (not features), gives convincing reasons to favour the product over other similar ones, and contains no shitty fluff or hype. You get it now?

I can categorically tell you that your answer was far from brilliant! And if anyone gets hired with that kind of answer, then the interviewer doesn't know what to look out for.

As far as marketing is concerned, everything you have to tell the potential buyer is useless if you don't place emphasis on user benefits. That is, answer the question subconsciously running through the potential buyer's mind, and that is, "What will this product do for me?" or "Why should I favour this product over the ones I'm already using?"

The response above placed no emphasis on user benefits. It only talked about the features of the pen, which the potential buyer won't convert to features on their own. And the OP added that some units were shipped to Elon Musk. How does that help the potential buyer?

And within the response, you embedded much more hype and fluff than one would expect to hear from someone trying to sell something as trivial as a pen. You tried too hard to make a pen look more important than it really is.

Oluwamarc:
Pls how profitable is running a literary website, and what are the things involved?

To start with, what do you imply by "literary website"?

Ajewealth123:
Heeya rip to him. Maybe the ailment was beyond control before they made it public.

The kidney is a delicate organ. Before signs of kidney damage would manifest at all, over 60 percent of kidney function is gone -- in most cases. So, it's usually not the patient's fault.

The key is to avoid things that damage the kidney such as indiscriminate use of drugs, etc.

Yes, something would still kill you, but it's better if it's not something avoidable. Those suffering terminal illnesses caused by their own ignorance or negligence would agree that nothing kills faster than horrible regret over what cannot be rectified.

Someday, some time, it would be my turn. And someday, some time, it would be your turn.

Good riddance to bad stupidity. Falsehood has several versions, but the truth never changes.

Cool.

Online business (blogging, freelancing, affiliate marketing, etc.) ... Started after being trained properly by those who are REALLY making money online, not the empty barrels you see everywhere.

Waiting for some people to blame this on Buhari.

If this is true, then I'd say: Good riddance to very useless nonsense.

JayJohnson:
It is always easy to identify an Islamic evil vandal. The evil men are everywhere, how can good morning turn to Allahu Akabar? Which Allah again, the one they are always fighting on his behalf that cannot do anything!

You don't have to go haywire over an unserious comment. Even non-Muslims everywhere know that Muslims greet by saying "Assalaamu 'alaykum" (may peace be upon you).

I know we'll soon start hearing shitty stories like this. By next week, we should also see headlines on how Joshua once hawked akara to make a living.

As for the assertion that he could have won the gold medal for Nigeria if given the chance, I disagree. Nigeria is known for working hard against the success of her citizens. And the fact that he wasn't given the chance is enough proof.

Here in our crappy country, a senator's nephew who can't knock out a pillow will be chosen over real boxing talents. And even if a real boxer is given the chance, the NBF will fail to release funds for his welfare and training tours because the foolish pot-bellied people in charge have stolen the funds meant for that.

Oteleye:
It is 3rnest not 3arnest

I've corrected it. Thanks.

I have $1160 Payoneer funds for sale @ N360/USD

Please contact only if you're buying all at once. I don't sell in bits!

Call or Whatsapp 08062357604.

First come, first served. Ready to use Escrow.

UPDATE: Funds sold out to Oteleye with 3rnest as escrow. Transaction was seamless. The buyer was awesome. And as usual, 3rnest delivered excellently. He always rocks!

Nice info, OP. This will sure disappoint crooks who are looking for ways to tamper with the meter, so it doesn't bill again.

When it's too obvious that you're in dire need of something yourself, and you still go about promising to give others that same thing...

Let me leave the rest for NLers to decide.
