Sanchez01: There seems to be a lot of problems here, you approached her the first tine you daw her because she was 'wooable'? Honestly, I don't subscribe to your approach. This is the 21st Century, for crying out loud. Must every lady we meet somehow be our lady without conscious effort to study them? No!

With that being noted, I believe you should break apart. The whole thing was messy from the get-go. The foundation was bad and it is obvious the two of you cannot stop breaking each other. She cheated, I believe she should be forgiven and overlooked but I still recommend that you still part ways, not because she cheated though. Your heart has drifted far away and your stay with her is nothing but a pity party. The worst kind of love is that which is born out of pity. Since she is irritating you at this point, kindly let her go.

Truth is, the more you try to stay, the greater the complications. It is one thing if you make attempts to reignite your love, it is another to stay out of pity. You are the guy, find a way to draw the curtains, diplomatically. There are better ways to skin a cat without torturing it.
you have reassured my doubts, thanks!!!!! I really appreciate your advice

Romance / A Nairalander Needs Advice-- Wants To Break-up With His Girlfriend by Wolison(m): 9:15am On Sep 04, 2014
I met this girl at a NIMC registration centre last year in August and coincidentally it was the day of her birthday, I saw the girl, looking so beautiful and wooable I momentary got myself together and approached her, after few minutes of my well-structured sermons, she yielded to my preaching.
In a nutshell, we started dating but I had one major problem with her which is her inability to say "sorry" at the right time and as at when due, but mystically I managed to have contained that and instilled the lifestyle in her.
Unfortunately, we always get immersed into one altercation or another.
I've had series of nasty words that ain't encouraging from her; she had to call off the relationship one certain time but said she merely joked, just to test the strength of my love for her but frankly, my heart was rented when she said that cos it got me instantly indisposed.
We later soldered our ways and moved very fine; on a certain day again, we'd another clash on Facebook where she threatened deleting me off from her list for useless reasons!!!
That was when it dawned on me that I was fighting a worthless battle which ought not to have been fought, I stopped calling her though I sometimes faked calling her and gave manner of flippant unsubstantiated tales; she lost my love, my trust, feelings....name it!!!
I assumed the single status immediately.
We later made-up and flow gently like sea but my heart wasn't there as of before cos she's irritating and also her indelicate attitudes.
Now the last shot: I had a talk with her, asking her whether she think we re still in the same ship, she nodded in affirmation...(unimaginable)
She now openly confessed to me of double-dating (so she double- dates?) which was what I told her that I greatly abhors; she said that she had to break-up with him (the guy) cos she loved me much lengthy, but initially, the raison d'etre why I initiated the talk was to peacefully break-up with her but was stocked up with emotions listening her lamentions which left me nonplussed.
I don't want this girl and I don't love her not even a modicum of it; my problem now is how to confront her and have the break-up peacefully done without shooting her emotionally.
I don't want to break her heart, just it being symbiotic. (I can clearly say that the relationship was purely platonic though with some smooching and smudging shaa).
Am trying to be brief and to go straight to the point cos there still lies untouched sins that I couldn't type so as not to bore you with an extensive write-up.
You guys can help me with a candid advice but not me going back to her cos I can never love her (maybe I would still reside small portion of likeness for her shaaa) please!!!
Advise me pls!!
Thanks!!!

Health / Human Trial For Ebola Vaccine To Begin This Week by Wolison(m): 8:25am On Sep 03, 2014
ABC NEWS: The first human trial for an investigational Ebola vaccine is set to begin this week.
The ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africaprompted the National Institutes of Healthto expedite safety testing for several vaccines already in the works. Since March, the deadly virus has killed 1,552 people, according to the World Health Organization, which predicted last week that the virus could infect 20,000 people in the next six months.
An Ebola vaccine is different from the experimental Ebola drug ZMapp, which two Americans received last month and is designed to treat an existing Ebola infection rather than prevent one.
“There is an urgent need for a protective Ebola vaccine, and it is important to establish that a vaccine is safe and spurs the immune system to react in a way necessary to protect against infection,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, said in a statement.
The NIH is developing the vaccine with pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline. Although Fauci said the vaccine has “performed extremely well” in primate studies, it has not yet been tested in humans.
The phase 1 clinical trial set to begin this week at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, will involve 20 human subjects between the ages of 18 and 50, according to the NIH.
Researchers will use the study to determine whether the vaccine is safe and see whether it prompts an immune response necessary to protect against Ebola. No human subjects will be infected with Ebola.
A $4.7 million grant will also go toward Ebola vaccine trials in September at the University of Oxford in England, as well as centers in Gambiaand Mali, according to GlaxoSmithKline. In all, 140 patients will be tested.
Though Ebola was discovered nearly 40 years ago, it was so rare that drug manufacturers weren’t interested in investing in finding a vaccine for it, said Dr. William Schaffner, chair of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Its rarity also made it impossible for scientists to conduct field studies.
“There’s always the layperson’s query of ‘Why don’t they rush this?’ ‘Why don’t these guys work a little later at night?’” Schaffner told ABC News in July. “It’s a little more complicated than that.”
GlaxoSmithKline became involved in the Ebola vaccine because it bought Swiss vaccine company Okairos AG in 2013. Okairos, originally a Merck spinoff, had been working on the vaccine with the NIH since 2011, a GlaxoSmithKline spokeswoman told ABC News.
Although Fauci said in July that it would take until late 2015 for a vaccine -- if successful -- to be administered to a limited number of health workers, GlaxoSmithKline said in a statement that the grant will also enable it to manufacture 10,000 doses of the vaccine while the trials are ongoing. If the vaccine trials are successful, it will be able to make stocks available immediately to the World Health Organization.
The NIH said it should have initial data from the trial in late 2014.
The trial for different vaccine is set to begin at the Walter ReedArmy Institute of Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. This vaccine was a collaboration between the federal Department of Defenseand Iowa pharmaceutical company NewLink Genetics Corp

Politics / Re: Man’s Wickedness! Ebola From Lagos To Rivers by Wolison(m): 10:14am On Sep 01, 2014
Wolison: By Paul John
When HIV/AIDS was discovered in the US in the early 1980s, nobody believed it would reach a point that Africa would become the epicentre .The whites that were infected accepted their fate and ensured that they lived positively,informing anybody they were to have sexual contacts with about their health status, and ensuring that condoms were used correctly.The religious leaders over there never intervened on the advice given by doctors and no religious leader,no matter how spiritually connected, claimed to have the cure for the HIV-AIDS. Today, the percentage of people living with HIV in UK and US is less than what obtains in Africa.
If an African tests positive to HIV today,that person will assure himself/herself that nothing is wrong in transmitting it to another person, after all how did he/she get it in the first place? Within one week, many innocent people will have been infected and this ‘distributor’ will be ashamed to start treating himself/herself on time.
When he/she reaches the final stage complicated with the opportunistic infections,he/she will be rushed to hospital where the doctors will be expected to do abracadabra. This is usually after many months of managing the person for an ‘attack” in the church while the free government anti- retroviral drugs are wasting in our hospitals.When the person eventually dies,people will say,’God gave and God has taken.’
WRONG EXERCISE OF POWER
When the Catholic hospital in Liberia treating Patrick Sawyer’s sister made the diagnosis of Ebola, Sawyer was aware of the diagnosis and the implications and he was restricted from attending to his sister. But he exercised his political power and violated the hospital’s instructions. It was reported that he was found many times with blood stains on his shirts while attending to his late sister. Even while in Nigeria,he repeated similar thing when he was restricted.
The management of First Consultants Hospital reported that they were under pressure to release him since he was a diplomat but the management refused considering the effects of such unpatriotic act on the Nigerian public. Sadly, in our usual way of doing things, one can be sure that our government will not do anything to reward this hospital or immortalize the health practitioners who lost their lives. Imagine what would have happened if Sawyer succeeded in the wrong use of his power and connections and was discharged from First Consultants Hospital to travel down to Calabar?
A nurse that was involved in the treatment of Sawyer wickedly(or do I say ignorantly) travelled to Enugu possibly to ‘distribute’ the deadly virus to others including his family members. Remember that the said nurse was aware that other members of the hospital staff were quarantined along with other contacts of Sawyer but she decided to run to Enugu without considering the passengers in the vehicle she travelled in could be exposed to the Ebola virus.
Also, Sawyer as a true African, stubbornly left Liberia against medical advice to attend the ECOWAS convention in Calabar. It was reported that this Sawyer having discovered that he tested positive to Ebola, he started urinating on the hospital staff of First Consultants Hospital hence the need for the late consultant, Dr Stella Adadevoh, to personally restrict his movements.
Some dubious religious leaders on their own part are busy preaching to their gullible congregation that the said virus is from God hence it requires God’s intervention to cure. I don’t want to talk about the ‘saltwater’ treatment which expectedly killed more people. What these religious leaders never knew was that Ebola had been in existence since 1976. Expectedly, the man that took Ebola to Rivers State might not tell the doctor that he was among the primary contacts of Sawyer hence the doctor falling prey to his antics.
In Liberia recently,we heard that some idiots called gunmen went to Ebola isolation centre and freed the quarantined patients and stole the materials brought to the patients believing that the materials were money. They even went ahead to claim that Ebola did not exist the same way that some foolish people believed that the true meaning of AIDS is,’American Idea for Dodging Sex,’ and today they are either living with the virus or have died of the deadly virus disease.
THE GOVERNMENT THAT CANNOT BE TRUSTED
A national emergency was declared for Ebola virus disease by our government and about N1.9billion was released and expectedly as a Nigerian thing the few that are favoured in power will benefit from the money ‘allegedly’ released after all it is said that one man’s food is another man’s poison,whether the poor man out there is taken care of or not that does not concern them.
If you ever accuse any of the officials of embezzling the funds released,he/she will smartly rush down to court where he/she will get perpetual injunction restricting EFCC,ICPC and other law enforcement agents from investigating him and will still come out and ask you to tender an apology for even thinking of arresting him in the first place,the same way that the House Of Representatives asked NMA to apologise to Nigerians for fighting for their rights.
Remember that the vital aim of the said strike is to compel the government to revamp the moribund state of our health sector. Don’t be surprised when the salaries of health workers would be subtracted ,reason being the purchase of personal protective equipment by the hospital management for the health workers.
Was it not this same government through their health experts that told us that nano-silver was potential cure for Ebola?
Having confirmed the news from our supposed health experts,our national dailies carried headlines such as: Ebola: Hope rises for local treatments;Govt to introduce Nano Silver,drug developed by Nigerian scientist etc.This was happening at a time that a fledgling internet surfer knew that the said nano silver was a pesticide.
A woman recently lost her life after she was reported to have been rejected by many hospitals. The said hospitals suspected that the woman had Ebola virus disease and rejected her. After the woman died it was discovered that she had no Ebola. Do we now blame the hospitals for rejecting the woman?
In my own opinion, I don’t think that I will blame the hospitals because there is no way endangering the life of other patients and staff of the hospitals when it was clear that government had not provided the required equipment to the hospitals. Another point there is: rejecting the suspected patients and allowing the patients have access to the Nigerian public ,is it not an act of un-patriotism on the part of the hospitals? The answer to that question will be, what has the government done for the management of the First Consultants Hospital Lagos,for sacrificing four of their staff,one of which was a consultant, to encourage other hospitals to be patriotic?
It was announced, last week, that about 70 people were quarantined in Rivers State. Somebody should help ask our government officials the exact location where the suspected patients are currently quarantined? I am still in Rivers State and when I read the news, I called the people I was supposed to call to know the exact location of the quarantine centre, they were as confused as I was (or do I say I am since I am yet to know the exact location).
We are no more kids,we have our communication gadgets,they should not deceive us at this age. If the patients are not at UPTH(University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital) and not at BMSH(Braithwait Memorial Specialist Hospital), worse still, the Emohua quarantine centre is yet to be fully completed as at the time of writing this report,where then exactly are the patients quarantined and where was the wife of the late doctor treated?
THE WAY FORWARD
(1)If the government is really serious in containing this Ebola virus disease, which I doubt,they should restrict movements in and out of Lagos and Rivers States for now, because the arrest of Boston bombers in USA was possible because movements were restricted.
(2)The supposed government health experts should always tell the masses the truth at all times and verify all statements before granting press briefings. The hospital owned by the late doctor is a busy hospital located at the heart of Port Harcourt,Rumuokoro axis of the Garden City. All his contacts should be traced immediately. I heard he just operated on a patient a day before he died,all these facts should be objectively investigated .
(3)All hospitals,private hospitals inclusive,should be provided with large number of Personal Protective Equipment.
(4)When a patient in a quarantined center is discharged, before another patient is admitted, that place must be fully sterilized in accordance with WHO standards and the gloves used in touching/treating one Ebola suspected patient should not be used on another patient. The mortuary the late doctor was initially taken to, before being brought to UPTH should be decontaminated according to international best practices and all the workers at the morgue quarantined.
(5) Private hospitals that alert the government about a possible case of Ebola should be financially compensated because as First Consultant Hospital is currently locked up,the management is still counting their losses and it will take many years before the average Nigerian will start patronizing the hospital. By compensating the management of First Consultants Hospital and immortalising the health workers that died in the process,it will encourage many private hospitals and other health practitioners to be more patriotic
(6)Commercial bus drivers and taxi drivers should start carrying three passengers per seat and one passenger in the front seat as against the current practice of four passengers per seat and two passengers in front. This will help minimize the body contacts which is another means of contracting this virus disease. Believe me,our law enforcement agents once they collect their ‘roger’ (bribe) they will look the other way while the commercial drivers will pack their passengers like sardine .
(7)Any religious leader or house that claims having any cure for the deadly Ebola virus disease should be arrested and prosecuted since when Jesus and Mohammed were on this earth,they never advertised their healing powers. Also,these religious leaders should be warned not to organise any gathering at this critical period.
(coolOur legislators should immediately enact laws so that any Ebola suspect who runs away will be prosecuted after being arrested and treated. This law will ensure that all Ebola suspects will surrender themselves to the appropriate authorities and any health practitioner that treats any suspected Ebola patient without calling on the appropriate authority will be dealt with.
This is exactly the case in Port Harcourt where the primary contact of the index case ran away from Lagos to Port Harcourt to be treated by the late doctor. I am sure that our legislators will not enact any law because there is no financial inducement to set them into action .
The Nigerian masses should hold their leaders accountable because as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie said in her book,The Purple Hibiscus,’the educated ones leave,the ones with the potential to right the wrong, they leave the weak behind. The tyrants continue to reign because the weak cannot resist.
Do you not see that it is a cycle?’, I call on the human rights lawyers to rise up to this challenge as any problem created in Nigeria by our leaders will be suffered by the masses because our leaders having ‘graciously’ supervised our health sector to its present deplorable state will always travel to Germany for private visits even when a foetus that is conceived today knows that Germany is known for medical tourism.

Romance / 10 Things You Should Know Before Going Into A Long-term Relationship by Wolison(m): 6:32am On Aug 29, 2014
To a lot of people, maintaining a long-term relationship is a source of unparalleled fulfillment. Why else would all these popular online dating services use their member success stories as marketing material? Even Tinder, which is generally perceived as a hook-up app, uses the idea of two people connecting at a heightened emotional level in their ‘It Starts Here’ video, in which the “it” is most definitely a meaningful relationship.
It’s no question that one of the best feelings we’ve ever experienced has been that of love for another person, all the while knowing that that love is being returned tenfold.
So why do some of us never find that kind of love? Why are some of us afraid of finding it? Or why do some of us who found it fall out of it? I think it’s obvious that it’s all in where we’re positioned emotionally, intellectually and sexually, which is something you can keep in mind when reading this.
Now, I’m not here to tell you exactly what kind of person you need to be; you’re whoever you already are. Moreover, I don’t consider myself to be an expert at relationships; I’ve only had two I’d consider to be long term (1 year and 3 years). This list is simply a collection of things I always tried to keep in mind, and I feel like they’re gender neutral enough to share with everyone.
Depending on where you’re at, maybe it’ll help you see things differently.
10. BE READY FOR A RELATIONSHIP
Every element on this list is important to me, except this one is the only one that, if forgotten or ignored, can lead to tragedy before the beginning of anything.
Take the time (a couple of minutes, not a millennia) to assess how you feel about the person that you’re seeing and, most importantly, how they make you feel about the past, present and future.
You know you’re ready if the past feels like it’s long gone, and all you can think about is how good you feel right now and how amazing things are gonna be.
9. NEVER MAKE YOUR NEXT PAY FOR YOUR EX
This was the best advice ever given to me.
After my first girlfriend decided to leave me, I was an inconsolable mess. I just couldn’t understand why, after all that I’d given to her and all that I had put up with, she could just leave me for some guy who was supposed to be “just as good as her brother.”
If my friend hadn’t told me this, I truly feel like I would have brought some major trust issues and anxiety into my next long-term relationship.
Seriously, leave all your baggage at the door and remember that each partner is different from the other. Don’t make them walk on eggshells from the get-go.
8. BE HONEST ABOUT EVERYTHING
This is an absolute no brainer.
If the relationship is going to develop into anything meaningful, your partner will have become your best-friend and confidant. Therefore, anything relevant to what you guys have together (which is pretty much everything) needs to be on the table.
Do I need to elaborate on this?
I shouldn’t, because trust is the mortar that holds every relationship together.
7. GIVE IT YOUR ALL
Anybody who’s been in a serious relationship will tell you that it’s a lot of work, which isn’t a bad thing; considering anything that’s worth holding on to requires a monumental amount of work.
Sometimes you’re going to need to go far out of your way to get something done for them, and you should be able to do this without thinking about it.
In fact, I think you should enjoy doing it.
6. REMEMBER WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF YOUR LIFE
You’re nothing without your dreams and aspirations.
Absolutely nothing.
Always stay focused on self-improvement and attempt to strike a balance while doing so. If you find yourself way off-balance while trying, like I did a year ago, then something is critically wrong with you or where you feel you are in life.
Moreover, you should be constantly building towards each others goals, instead of repeatedly restructuring them. If you’re unhappy with the way your life is turning out, it’s going to seep into the relationship and test it.
5. IT’S ABOUT THE LITTLE THINGS, NOT THE BIG THINGS
Grandiose acts of love and compassion (like expensive nights out, followed with ice skating or some other shit) are awesome, but the level of planning involved in bringing them to realization make them fabricated.
It’s the little things that you do every day, be it the way you pass your fingers through their hair or the way you slice their sandwiches, that truly matter.
A dozen tiny things you do a day far outweigh the three big things you do a year.
4. ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EACH OTHER
Let’s say its been a year since you started dating; it’s safe to say that you’re in a relationship because you couldn’t stop seeing each other when you started out. That excitement should never go away and every moment you look at them needs to fill you with an insurmountable amount of joy.
Everything you do with them needs to feel like the best thing ever.
3. WHEN ARGUING, IT’S NEVER ABOUT WHO’S RIGHT
Arguments will happen. If they aren’t, then there may be an unhealthy amount of repression going on or you’re in the most boring relationship on the planet.
The thing that people forget is that when they do happen, it’s rarely about proving the other person wrong or dishing out some form of punishment; it’s about finding out what’s wrong and fixing it.
And once it’s fixed? Well, then comes the most important part of any argument, forgiving (depending on the situation) and forgetting.
If you’re a healthy couple, you’ll argue about something else that’s dumb a couple of weeks later and end up hugging and/or kissing five minutes into it.
2. ACCEPT CHANGE
You’ll both change. Everyone changes.
It’s really important that you both accept each other as you transition into better, more experienced versions of yourselves. Stronger couples will work through any differences they’ve acquired and focus on the more positive things they bring to the relationship, as well as the goals they’ve set out for themselves and each other.
This doesn’t mean that couples that can’t accept each others changes are weaker. You both need to look out for your own interests as individuals and if you don’t see eye to eye on the future, well then…
1. KNOW WHEN TO LET GO
You know that feeling. Anyone who’s been in a break-up has felt it; this inexplicable feeling of foreboding, days, weeks and sometimes months beforehand.
Holding on to a relationship that has run its course is disastrous. You risk ending it (and I assure you, it will end) with nothing but feelings of resentment, betrayal and hopelessness.
Contrary to what people like to believe, mutual break-ups exist and, from my experience, they involve a bottle of wine, lots of hugging and constant thanks for the years leading up to them.
I’m not saying these kinds of break-ups are easy. You know, I’d even go so far as saying that they end up being a little bit more challenging to deal with. You’ll find yourself wondering, “Did we give up to soon?” or “Things were so good between us, if only we tried a little harder…” Shit like that can lead to sleepless nights and depressing days.
So how do you remedy any kind of pain resulting from a break-up?
Focus on the things that make you happy and try to remind yourself that events of the past are lessons for the present and preparation for the future.
If you can remember that:
Your next is going to be thebest.
