Slashing tarrif on imported cars will increase smuggling: are U sure your sense has not joined ASUU strike? It is like saying reduction in the price of air flight will encourage land travelling.

People resulted to smuggling as a result of inability to meet up with high tarrif: get that drilled into your skull please.

I used to be a victim of mssturbation for more than 15 years, but one day i finally found a lasting solution. I used prayers and pavlov law of classical conditioning. This is how it works. The brain always connects itself to pleasure and disconnects itself from anything that causes pain. Sex/masturbation is sweet so the brain has associated it with pleasure and thats it will keep recalling it all the time. You can never do it if no sexual though crosses your mind. So the mind is the major issue to handle when it comes to masturbation. How to stop is to associate sexual thoughts with pain and the brain will start running away from thinking about it. I wear two rubber bands all the time on my wrist. Anytime i start thinking about sex, masturbation, pornography or naked women, i will strike my self so hard with it by streching it and releasing it which will cause me pain.so the brain will start associating sex as painful thing when you keep doing it. Any time you feel that pain the desire to masturbate will disappear. With time your mind will start avoiding thinking about sex since its connected to painful consequence. If you committed to it, you will counting months without masturbation. Thats how i overcame this addiction.

Let me explain pavlov law

Russian physiologist named Ivan Pavlov discovered classical or respondent conditioning (somewhat accidentally). During 1849-1936, Pavlov was investigating the automatic reflexes of animals. It was during these experiments that he discovered an important learning principle that we now call classical conditioning. Sometimes people also call it Pavlovian conditioning.

Classical conditioning means that a specific stimulus causes a specific response. For instance, if you see food (a stimulus), you will salivate (a response). You didn't need a psychologist to tell you that! Salvation at the sight of food is an unconditioned response. This simply means it is an automatic reflex or response. You don't need to learn to salivate upon seeing food (no conditioning was required). It just happens automatically. Nothing too complicated yet, right?

Now we come to the learning part of classical conditioning (a bit more complicated). In one of Pavlov's experiments, he rang a bell every time he fed some dogs. We could say he paired a bell with the arrival of food. Unlike food, which is an unconditioned stimulus, the bell became a conditioned stimulus. This is because the dogs learned (they were conditioned) that when the bell rang, food would arrive. Pavlov formed a paired association between an unconditioned stimulus (dog food) and a conditioned stimulus (a bell). Eventually, Pavlov's dogs began to salivate at the mere sound of the bell, even when Pavlov did not present the food. The dogs had been conditioned that the bell meant food is on its way. They learned! This learning occurred because of the paired association between an unconditioned stimulus (food) and a conditioned stimulus (a bell). Eventually both the food and the bell elicited the same response, i.e., salivation.

So what do dogs and bells have to do with addiction? Recall that in Pavlov's experiment, the bell served as a cue to the dogs. Food was on its way! Likewise, certain cues (also called relapse triggers) have a powerful effect on addicted persons. These cues can result in a relapse because the brain linked the cues and the addiction. For instance, suppose someone always smokes marijuana in the car on the way home from work. The car and marijuana form a paired association. Thus, the car signals marijuana is on its way, just as the bell signaled to Pavlov's dogs that food was coming. Once the car has become a conditioned stimulus (a cue), the car itself can now trigger powerful cravings. Remember how Pavlov's dogs began to salivate at the sound of the bell? We could say the bell created a craving for food. This is the same for the addict and the car. The car creates powerful cravings. Cravings frequently result in relapse.

Fortunately, this learning principle has some helpful recovery implications. Research has demonstrated that if we ring the bell many times, without food, the paired association ends. Eventually the bell will no longer elicit salivation. Let's return to our previous example of a person who smokes marijuana in a car after work. If this person repeatedly gets into his car after work, and does not smoke marijuana, his cravings will eventually subside. He is not doomed to ride public transportation for the rest of his life!

Cue exposure therapy is one type of addiction treatment that relies on classical conditioning. The "cues" associated with addiction (the sights, smells, locations, people, etc.) are understood as conditional stimuli. With repeated cue exposure, and without engaging in addictive behavior, these cues lose the power to induce craving. Because most people in recovery cannot realistically eliminate every cue associated with their addiction, it becomes critical to reduce the power of these cues. This may occur through specific types of therapy, such as cue exposure therapy. It might also occur simply through practice and the passage of time. People who do not experience a reduction in the power of cues are at significant risk for relapse.

Therapists also use classical conditioning to diminish and/or eliminate many types of unwanted behaviors. This includes addictive behaviors. Aversion therapy is one application of classical conditioning. In aversion therapy, we intentionally form a paired association between an unwanted behavior and an unpleasant experience. For instance, we can administer a drug that causes someone to become horribly nauseous and vomit if s/he ingests even the slightest bit of alcohol. This intentionally forms a paired association between alcohol and vomiting. Prior to the aversion therapy, a person would ordinarily associate alcohol with positive feelings. After aversion therapy, alcohol is associated with nausea and vomiting. For many aversion therapy patients even the thought of drinking elicits feelings of nausea. The effect of aversion therapy can wear off over several months. However, during the period it is effective a person can learn to develop a new manner of healthy living. They can practice coping skills that strengthen their ability to enjoy life without alcohol. To clarify, although drinking is a voluntary behavior, cravings and desire for alcohol are not. Treatment from a classical conditioning approach (aversion therapy) diminishes craving and desire for alcohol by diminishing its appeal.

OUR PRESIDENT NEED TO CREATE NIJA VERSION OF OXFORD DICTIONARY,




EVEN WHITE MEN DO NOT VALUE NIGERIA GIVEN PHD CERTIFICATE.



ALL I CARE TO KNOW IS ALL LEGS; YOUNG, OLD, RICH, POOR, FREE, SLAVE, MEN, WOMEN ETC.... MARCH BUHARI INTO THE ASO ROCK


#MARCHFORBUHARI#

Whenever I see a supposed young leader like u marching for Buhari, I cry bitterly.

This evening, during presidential media chat, GEJ was asked to examine once again what he meant by " stealing is not corruption". To answer the question, He linked this particular saying d to former chief justice of the fedration; Al-Mustapha. According to him, in a crucial meeting with Al-mustapha, ICPC, EFCC, and the Police, they found out that over 80% of corrupt practices levelled against Nigeria politicians are cases of stealing. Consequently, painting the word "stealing" with "corruption" makes the offense seems light and fashionable. To average Nigerian, this two words conates different meanings. When people say "this man is corrupt" and "this man is a thief" the meaning differs. In lagos for instance, people would likely set ablaze or stone a thief at the mention of "Ole" than the case maybe with "corrupt man". Rather, people deassociates or try to be more careful with a "corrupt man". Therefore, Stealing is stealing and a thief is a thief and should be treated as a thief. Personally, I think his response was quite clearer and understandable this time around. This was different from rumours and propaganda people have been pastering around, even though that the identified thieves are yet to be treated as one. Lol! What's ur stance?
Remember: He neither said stealing nor corruption is good.

most churches do have a section for nursing mothers

so if ur church doesnt have one, its time the create one;

as for who is right or wrong, you dont expect the mothers to allow

the child to be disturbing the service with cries, and you dont expect

a believer who came to church to hear the word of God to be outside

during the service.

hope you got my point

When u are done with chanting then, u answer the OP

Is it true that the new master list to be send out by schs to nysc wil consist of gsm number of the prospectus to be mobilize.
the new development from my sch is for us to submit our gsm number.

We will still provide that when registering online. Don't think every sch demands for that.

May the same God that rejected BUHARI and put him to shame in 2003, 2007 and 2011 reject and make him cry again in 2015. In
Jesus name.......

Date him for additional 10yrs and he will marry u.

I think you mean 'alms' and not 'arms'.

Thanks!

As a christian, I try my possible best when it comes to giving alms to the less privileged. But, whenever I ve nothing with me, I do change my direction on getting closer to beggers; some other times I walk faster. One decent Saturday morning, as I walked-by a crippled man at Cele bus stop, behold the crippled man slide closer to me and said "Bros, I am greeting you, good morning". This actually sent a cold shiver down my spine. I was forced to pause for a while . Cordially, i exchanged greetings with him. After the little interraction, I think he felt better even though I had nothing to give him. I know so many of us are guilty of this too. Pls, let's change our mind-set.

Then, receive and don't complain. NA idi apu ara

Is like OBJ is forcing out cheat!

Why does Buhari wants to become president so badly? There is something fishy about his do or die actions/despiration. #think of it

The irony: exams and society are not meant to tell you what you are. Students, how many "A" grade did u make and never to use again? And if this issue is not addressed properly, it then becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.
