Biodun556:
That was how it started in Palestine. They started buying land acres upon acres, and later Britain handed over the whole land to them

In UK presently, Jews have their own ambulance and police. Infact they state within a state in the UK. It begins gradually.

Before the Zionists settled for Palestine, it was Uganda they initially planned to established their so called promised land.
Do you have any idea as to why Uganda was chosen?
HealthRe: Man's Wife Dies After Donating Kidney To Her by yongg: 1:08am On Mar 18
femi4:
That's an irresposible thing to say

What does he mean by she took my kidney with her, what a reckless statement
I am curious to know if it would have been possible to retrive the kidney from her back to the original donor in the event of her demise. I'm of course assuming, the patient was within the vicinity of the hospital where the surgeries are done.

Now, I am even wondering do they have any laid down procedure for this type of retrieval in medicine in general or is it deliberately frowned upon to discourage intentional "actions"?

I imagine it would require active and close monitoring and quick response and just as quick surgery scheduling to pull that off (if at all possible).


Maybe, he was expecting that "retrieval" back to himself to have made the statement.

FoodRe: Okpa Tastes Like Suffering — Risevest CEO, Eke Urum by yongg:
Northsouth:
Well I don't really know about okpa but
There's one calabar soup wey Dem go cut periwinkle bottom away con cook the head without removing the shell like say Dem dey blow whistle when eating it with swallow.
That's really suffering
Forget the culture, some culture are suffrage.
Just like when Dem dey kill twins as culture back then
Suffering.
Instead make u commont the periwinkle meat out of the shell and enjoy your swallow meal.
U go still dey pause for nothing just to blow the meat with effort out from the half shell
Seriously you're to enjoy meal, not suffer
Aah! You have mentioned one of the things I tinker on, the "sufferings" of dining or eating food.


As for the periwinkles, that's not the issue though because only thoughtful kitchen preppers understand the art of opening the bottom of the periwinkles large enough for one suck to pull it out but enough to incase it.

Besides, it can be less stressful compared to lobster business or dishes, crabs and oysters all of which is more expensive in price point and often considered luxurious dining internally. You see that lobster and crab own, if one is not careful, there is a way one will try to extract their meat from their shell, pepper sauce from it will accidentally squirt into one's eyes, lols. Or hazard associated with using wrong equipment or cutlery to extract oyster (knife or pointy things danger)

Will also like to add that cuisines from the Akwa-cross region make up, if not the top business in Nigeria in terms of taste, richness and nutrition but that not the point sha, we are talking about "sufferings" encountered when eating food.

So a general workable knowledge of physics solves that periwinkle problem, I know this because I have prepared it me-self and have bagged extensive experience in the ease of consuming that dish component.

In the spirit of sharing, some of my other suffering around food I encounter when I eat out include but not limited to:

1. Excessive pepper dosage uncomensurate with the climate of the eating area. Basically if there's a lot of pepper, the environment better be cool, cold or it should be tuned to consumer who is experiencing cold or would like to clear sinus or needs that to keep oily foods in (as some people have the propensity to vomit a back track from oily dish consumption, hence the pepperishness of the dish keep the mouth area releasing Silva to quench that sensation maintaining a strong peristalsis all through the early stages of digestion, hence less affinity to throw up).


It is usually not easy to control this one as the dosage can vary widely from person to person as people are accustomed to different level of pepper "highness". Solution to this one is usually to keep a small pepper and even salt holder so that consumers at the served table are free to control the dosage to their liking. Some eating places don't have this arrangement though so there.

2. Unnecessary toughness of meat. Pains my teeth, any average teeth really, builds incredible but undesired side head muscles, you know them "huge mandible holder"? Yep, that's the one, the one make someone careful of not been bitten by that person because they fear they will not easily contend with the amount of muscle powering the bite, lols 😂.

Some meats are so tough, that after the muscle developing, toothaching biting cycle, one just gives up and just swallow the meat like tablet. Heaven helps you if the sizing is terrible, ha ha.

This goes for all those tough animal protein sources especially beef, kpomo, the neighbors salah meat etc.


Solution to this, imo, has been using pressure cooker... No need for the dangerous practice I once heard was rampant at one time where "paracetamol" was used to soften/tenderize meat during the boil, or generally under oil in effort to save cost of fuel or charcoal depending on the vendor. The downside is the average low scale vendor may not prioritize this because of lack of knowledge, and the know how of handling the potential hazards of manual pressure cooking or cookware. But I would love to see this develop more though, because it save time, fuel and infuses the condiments and spices far better than ordinary cooking.


3. Sizing of animal protein (especially meat and that kpomo (kpoms), sizing of root food like yams.

When these ones are to big above maneuverable bit sizes it can be a hassle for the mouth to handle, might need employment of hands without cutlery etiquette as intervention (hence loss of steeze 😂, especially when in public, events, ceremonies, heck I don't like that suffering even when even in my private space or home lols).

Same for yam. Infact the smaller the size the more it cooks/frys/steams/roasts evenly because the heat would reach its center faster more evenly while remaining in nice moderate bite size.

The solution for this agains falls on the technique of the chef, and not necessarily the culture. In fact, culture can be improved or readapted to serve its people and members.


4. Unnecessary toughness of morsels like garri. Garri is the culprit here because I have suffered a lot of some tough "eba" (garri) mixes in some low level food joints. I understand that them joints are small scale so I don't expect much but that stuff can contribute to constipation if one is prone or suffer undesired straining during loo visits. The only time I could not complain about this is if one is going to be doing energy intensive activity like construction, where that stomach acid would be put to work. Other than that, I can only solve this when I prepare it myself because I can control the consistency and thickness of it so well. I do such light consistency garri that I could eat it as mid snack without feeling heavy or tune it to how the what I thinking I can handle during the bowel moving session of the entire digestive process without risking hernia, piles, abrasive effects of rectal lining, etc.


5. Dealing with bone. I have mix feeling with this one because on the one end I like consume bone to meet calcium needs (I hear it's hard to get it through eating hence this push for multivitamin or good 'ol bone meals or granulates). We done practice a lot of deboning in our culture for meat and fish (you like the type of fish from the classic English breakfast, fish and chips) except in more upscale food franchises.

I have been doing some fish flaying practical on my own, using "shawa" and "Titus". It will take getting use to, will need more hour count on that to be more experienced.

There are other sufferings but these ones are the ones I readily remember.

PoliticsRe: Why FG Shouldn’t Be Blamed For Poverty In Nigeria – Ex-Minister Agba by yongg: 9:16pm On Feb 04
Is this to say the federal government is unable to prosecute the states?

So the FG is unable to provide the check and balance or force accountability and prosecute misappropriation and failure to met citizen KPIs?

How about the parts of the government for which the FG has exclusive rights over, how have they used that power?

Is the federal government really powerless against states?



If they are that powerless, what then is Nigeria's unity for? Doesn't the disadvantages (to the citizens in their respective states) now surpass the advantages? Where's the freedom, where's the right to self determination and personal integrity, where is the protection of the right to live?

The lawyer no rubbish anything, the lawyer didn't answer the first question until Mr Abati had to breakdown substance of that Rufai's question to him in "biscuit" form, the second one he was dodging it. If there's any rubbishing it was the lawyer having it on himself but we cannot say that as there's not enough data to make that conclusion (imo anyway).

Na the lawyer dey misunderstand Rufai, who knows maybe intentionally or genuinely.

I don't know maybe so, because for the time is we was relevant enough, although it may not have been exactly as huge as one can currently easily list 10 Nigerians hitting it and one of the new ones being Odeal in the R&b category, but still there were considerable hitters. I don't know if the one artist whose music was used in the Guinness commercials then during the days of the series abi movie "Michael power" (might have mixed up a few there).

There is this artist that use to gain airplay before Kennis music was even a thing he sang "guess who's coming to dinner, Carolina!"


There's Orlando Julius, Majek Fashek, Sunny Okosun, Ras Kimono. Others that were more foreign were Shirley Bassey, Sade, Seal.

Fela on the other hand was so big he rather had international collaborations seeking him but I think to maintain the focus of his genre, it kinda had to be somewhat a lone journey or run solo, strictly Nigerian at the very least African hence his declinations of a lot of such offers.


Also, btw Nigerian artists did have international appeal way way before Wizkid came to the scene.

Hugh Masekela - Lady

Hugh Masekela - Fela (As an African, if the the trumpet enterlude no touch you, the question to ask would be "how human are you though?", that's me being dramatic sha. The trumpeting here is elite, African, near primal, has an ancient but relevant feel to it, ageless rendition stuff)

PoliticsRe: 'You Can't Teach Me' Rufai, Lawyer Clash During Interview On Rivers Politics by yongg:
Buccalcavity2:
Stop dulling down your own brain coz you want to be a fan of Rufai (whos probably not as sound as you)!
Move on if you are wrong like Abati did or if you are courageous, apologize that you are wrong!
1:39 this guy insinuated that assembly members lack integrity. Lawyer called him out, he said "im just asking question". 3:52, He asked "tell me the common sense in the need to pass supplementary...". That's an assertion not a reported speech as he later claimed which the lawyer called out.
If you still can't see the fault here, then I give up. You are no different!
You shouldn't give up too fast because the jewels of the whole adventure might just be around the corner for the taking (this is also note to self, lols). I appreciate your response but I see it differently and I will also like to assert I am not a fan per se, I only admire good work and understand that as humans there are times we are are spot on correct and when we perform badly, to blindly follow is what I actively seek to not do...


In your first reference, that question does not necessarily insinuate that but is to ensure or at least to give the lawyer the chance to ensure the audience/citizens that the integrity of the whole process is held (mind you, not even the integrity of persons, but beyond). Rufai at the point was asking to make sure the principle that avoids conflict of interest, double-jeopardy and recusal (when required) is held, which is part of the insurances of process integrity, personal integrity is a different issue entirely and probably even harder to examine from questioning for each subject maybe except the subject under scope have made blunders a couple of times known to the public domain. And do you know what's even better he (the lawyer guest) later ended up agreeing because it was clear as day he either pretended to not know that Rufai was referring to the integrity of the process of the panel (By the way, people, not just lawyers, may do this to dissuade or steer discourse away from what they want to hide... You should see them when in full cross-examination mode) or genuinely misunderstood the question.

So you see that Mr Abati himself didn't move on but rather defined (in part) the principle of conflict of interest to the lawyer guest hence implying checking whether adequate recusal (which should be total is most instances) had been applied to the process since he seemed not to understand or pretended (not enough data confirm or suspect so he enjoys benefit of that doubt) about what was being pointed to, after which the lawyer then understood and answered the question - NOW that was what made them move on. So Mr Abati basically broke down in simpler grammar Rufai's question which hit at least 3 of the intent which is super important to highlight that Rufai question captured, thereby implicitly backing Rufai in the quest to know.


About your second reference, are you saying an assertion cannot come from a reported speech? There are times when one wishes to translate an incident in words of parity or correspondence, which strips the mentions of persons or places or other unimportant details to leave the concentrated residue relevant to the discourse. A recent case where that could be applied is the petrol tanker accident that had people risking their lives to collect the spilling fuel, but that might veer us off but one thing I can assure you it brings clarity to the subjects, also the participants will likely provide answers that differ from their answers when they were actually exposed to the situation at the center of discourse all as a result of the clarity of viewing in that manner which highlights details important to the discourse, hence a teachable moment or a place to reflect the actual "why" that made the difference.

See, I understand you (meaning you will be somewhat reasonably correct when you see it like that, but your scope of correctness will be severely limited which is not what we want, well except maybe when you want to hide details by insisting on that depth which is grossly insufficient) but you need to reflect like at least one level beyond what you have stated, I say this because when you see it from just your level of examination, every other inquiry whether coming from a journalist or not, Rufai or not becomes a baited question and likely something to get offended by. Such questions can simultaneously check your boxes (or some of it) of dubious intention and my boxes (or some of it) of unbiased inquiry depending on where the observer choose to place his perspective. But that shouldn't halt asking of the question, else will we ever know anything (ha ha)?

Just stfu with your watery rationalization. Rufai asked his question as a fact. Not a reported speech from his previous interviwee. The lawyer called him out as an outright misrepresentation as he should know better! The damage control and childish fight over who is right or wrong is just irritating. Thats how Adebayo called out Ayo for lying and its still thesame Rufai defending nonsense on live TV. I don't care who wins Rivers political battle but don't reduce constitutional discourse to beer parlor gist and defend lies with pride. That's shitty!
How do you know he asked as facts, and I hope you know journalist asks beyond facts so the other party reveals a clarification where needed as well. How is my rationale watery, lols 😂. I don't know about the Ayo lying incident you referenced but I would like to see it though. How is asking questions seeking clarification a reduction of constitutional discourse?
