TV/Movies / Re: “BBNaija Is Not Only For Poor People” - Terry Waya Slams Critics by Kingston257: 11:46am On Sep 14, 2020
Bros eh... are we still talking about the same thing here.

franchasng:
Mr Terry is right.

I don't know who did this to Nigerians, always hating successful people just because they are successful.


Children of rich family in Nigeria can wish to achieve whatever the children of the poor wishes to achieve in life too.


What if the rich kid wants to carve out an independent life away from his or her father's wealth, is that a crime for a rich kid to aspire to be successful and independent of his or her father's wealth

Nigerians in their wack thinking always believe that every show or contest is a poverty alleviation programme meant for the poor alone.


That is why Nigerians always vote for wrong candidates during elections because they vote out of pity and tribalism, instead of voting for competence; they vote for whoever lied to them that he is poor, as if election is a poverty alleviation programme angry


Was that not how Buhari deceived them that he is poor and wretched and had only 10 malnourished cows and that he borrowed loan to buy his presidential nomination form, and therefore he deserves to be the president of Nigeria as if Nigeria's presidential seat is a poverty alleviation programme!


But look at Buhari today after lying that he was poor just to get unreasonable Nigerians to vote for him out of pity!!


During election all the politicians will park their luxury cars and start to form street, start to eat roasted corn on the roads and start to associate with market women just to deceive Nigerians that they are also poor and close to them and will be better leaders, all na wash!!


Honestly Nigerians have been subdued mentally by the wicked politicians that destroyed Nigeria for years now cry
Health / Not Ur Village Peeps...rhesus Incompatibility Is A Leading Cause Of Miscarriage! by Kingston257: 11:23am On Mar 17, 2020
So I came across this article on WhatsApp, and I thought it's actually very useful enough to share.
"ASIDE KNOWING YOUR GENOTYPE BEFORE MARRIAGE THERE'S NEED FOR A WOMAN TO KNOW HER RHESUS FACTOR - PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ THIS:
Rhesus Factor is an antigen that exists on the surface of red blood cells in most people (about 85% of humans). It is also referred to as Rh Factor. People who have the Rh have “positive” (+) blood types, such as A+, O+ or B+ are said to be rhesus Factor positive, while those who have the Rh “negative” (-) blood types, such as A–, O– or A- are said to be rhesus factor negative . The “+” and “-” after the blood group is the Rhesus factor. Generally, we have A+, A–, B+, B–, AB+, AB–, O+ and O–. Rhesus factor is genetic in nature. It is inherited from the parents, emphatically the father. How does Rhesus Factor cause miscarriage? If a Rh– woman is impregnated by a man with Rh–, there wouldn’t be any problem. However, if a Rh– woman is impregnated by a man with Rh+, there would be a problem if the baby inherits Rh+ from the father . We have here what is medically called Rhesus Factor Incompatibility. The baby would obviously be Rh+. During child birth, once the baby’s Rh+ comes in contact with the woman Rh- during delivery, the antibodies are immediately activated by the woman’s body’s immune system. The activated antibodies would see the new Rh+ as foreign body or a threat and consequently they would be at alert to attack and get rid of the foreign body. Unfortunately as such, after this particular child birth, the woman would keep having miscarriages because the activated antibodies would see subsequent Rh+ pregnancies as foreign bodies and would keep fighting and taking them off.
Women with Rh activated antibodies are said to be Rh sensitized and once these antibodies are activated , they can never be deactivated until the woman dies. Rh induced antibodies are activated in a Rh- woman by child birth, abortion, miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy. If a Rh– woman commits an abortion for a Rh+ man and the antibodies are activated in her system, the woman might end up childless throughout her life except if she later marries another man with with the same Rh–. The
possibility of a Rh– woman finding a Rh– man is slim as about 85% of human beings are Rh+.
This can as well serve as a caution to young people who engage in casual sex and abortions.
If you’re a woman with Rh– and your fiance is Rh+, and you haven’t committed abortion for him and you don’t want to leave him, then, you need to take note of the following:
In order to prevent the activation of the antibodies, doctors would give women in this category an injection called Rhogam during and after pregnancy to prevent spontaneous abortion due to Rhesus factor incompatibility. The injection is normally administered 28 weeks into pregnancy, 72 hours after delivery, after ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage or abortion. If the injection is not administered and the antibodies are activated, they would never be deactivated again!
In many African cultures up till today, women who are so unfortunate to find themselves having serial spontaneous abortions due to Rhesus factor incompatibility are considered witches by some of their people. Some of the women would accuse their in-laws of being behind their predicament.
So, if you’re a woman with Rh– , you need to be very careful. It might be difficult for you to get a husband with a Rh– because about 85% of human beings are Rh+. So, in order not to find yourself in the aforementioned problem, put all that have been said at the back of your mind and go for genetic counselling. If you have a daughter or a sister with Rh–, counsel them on Rhesus Factor Incompatibility and the dangers lying therein.
It should also be noted that a Rh– person(man or woman) cannot receive blood donation from a Rh+ person even if they have the same blood group. The consequence of such blood transfusion is fatal. It would lead to death as the blood would clot. This is due to the incompatibility in their Rhesus factor.
GOD Bless.

Nonsense
Always do your research
There's the British and American standards
The British standard: surname, first name
American standard: first name, surname
The British are our colonial masters, so we use the British standard

cos i can still remember in the movie James bond,..he always say: "my name is bond,James bond"....
Notice he says "James Bond," not "Bond James".
"My name is Bond" serves as a formal introduction.

Webmasters / Web Address Domain System by Kingston257: 11:29pm On Jan 17, 2018
For those who are not into ICT or do not understand the ethics of the internet, please get this knowledge and hold on to it for your future decisions when people start posting rubbish links telling you to claim one unrealistic gifts

In internet terminologies, we have what is called TLD which stands for Top Level Domain. The TLDs tell you more of the type of website you are visiting for which the domain is standing for. Examples are...
.com which stands for commercial (that's for businesses)
.org for organisations
.net for networks
.edu for education
.mil for military
.gov for government
Etc.

TLDs can also come by being country specific.
Examples are...
.ng for Nigeria
.fr for France
.us for USA
.uk for United Kingdom
Etc.

TLDs can still be matched for its purpose and country specific. Examples...
.com.ng for Nigerian commercial websites
.gov.ng for Nigerian government websites
Etc.

Now when people decide to create a website, they choose a name for their domain and for the purpose of the website, also choose its TLD. Example...
adisfunn .com
microsoft. com
safe-haven. win
church .net
nta .com.ng
scoan. org
Etc.

Now out of domains, we have what is called subdomain. A subdomain exists as a child of its mother domain. If there is no domain, there will be no subdomain.

A subdomain can exist as a separate website of its own but will always rely on its mother domain to exist. It is always attached to the mother domain. Example...

news.microsoft.com

In the example above,
microsoft is the domain
.com is the TLD for commercial purpose
news is the subdomain

So in clarity, news is the subdomain of microsoft domain existing on the .com TLD for commercial purpose

Subdomain always come from the left side of all links

Just like we have subdomain, we also have sub-subdomain. In this the sub-subdomain relies on the subdomain which in turn relies on the domain. Example...
tech.news.microsoft.com

And then we have more subs of preceding subdomains and so on till when the owner of the website gets tired of creating subs

Always remember that all subs come from the left side of links.

To know the real owner of a link posted, first look at the domain name which is always at the right side of the link

Whatever you see there tells you if the link is original or fake phishing link

Like in the Jumia nonsense link that has been going on, I will analyse it now below

http://.new-vouchers.win

The real Jumia website we know is



In the posted fake link above, if you look closely, you will see that came first in the link from the left side

This tells you that it is a sub sub subdomain of the domain new-vouchers.win

The main website of that link is new-vouchers.win

They created the sub sub subdomain to deceive people into thinking they are actually visiting

Remember, always study the links you receive to know the real owner before clicking it.

Rule of thumb, read from the right of every links to know the real domain before clicking

Anything from the left side is just a sub


Thank you

Education / Don't Write Your Surname Before Your First Name. (copied) by Kingston257: 11:18pm On Jan 17, 2018
People must understand that the arrangement of names is standard across the globe. When you’re asked to mention or write your name, call/write your first name first before any other names and the name that comes last is presumed to be your last name/surname. For example, if you’re James and your surname is John, in writing your name, write James John not the other way round.

All over the globe, the standard practice is:
First name
Middle name(s) if any
Surname or Last Name

However, if you write your surname first, always put comma so that readers can identify it as such. For example, if you write John, James a reader will know that John is your surname and James is your first name.

Another acceptable practice is — you write your surname in caps and keep the first name in lower keys. For instance, JOHN James will communicate to every reader that your surname is John and your first name is James.

Also, if you want to introduce yourself with your titles, mention the first name first in the sequence. For example; I am
Prof/Dr./Rev./Mr. James John
It tells a reader that James is your first name while John is your last. In instances where you mention your surname first after your title, don’t add your first name. For example, “Hello, I am Mr. John” don’t add your first name James.

People are losing juicy jobs due to these minor mistakes they make at job interviews. Stop mentioning your surname before your first name. Surnames always come last that’s why in some jurisdictions, they specifically call it your "Last Name".

Religion / "Faith" Is Not Enough To Prove God's Existence/divinity? by Kingston257: 11:02pm On Jan 14, 2018
Nowadays, "freethinkers" may have become a modern term for atheists but at the end of the day, these people pose some serious questions about belief systems, especially, spiritual kind.
Science as we know, is not superstitious and so it is easier to believe since it deals in facts and proofs.
But if we are to be honest with ourselves, we believe science not just because it provides proofs but, with those proofs come easier comprehension and understanding. Man is naturally afraid of what he cannot comprehend or control. FEAR is the answer, the problem, the issue; not lack of evidence/proof. Defeating fear with (mere) FAITH is almost impossible for any man. Mind you, faith and facts aren't the best of pals.
But of course, everyone should have his/her important role in life regardless of religion, race, gender, etc. Christianity is not like a social club which one joins just to show he is better than the other. Unfortunately, if we keep asking for "facts" the way we do, we may never find enough!

We allow ourselves to believe science. We Accept Science.
There may be fake medical practitioners, fake teachers even. But when it is really important, these cannot stop one from seeking medical assistance nor stop believing in science altogether. Beyond every other reason, it is also because we have less reservations against medicine. When you build up so much disbelief against anything/anyone, even when you see the real thing, the truth, you'd still doubt it; you'll be mainly interested in the dark spots (fake preachers).
One Needs a Free Spirit To Be Able To Accept Faith. It's not natural, not physical, nor scientific. It's Spiritual.

Lastly, Religion is basically man's effort to try and acknowledge, understand and/or appreciate the existence of supreme being. That is how these religions came to be. Those who failed to do so call themselves atheists. Christianity goes beyond religion when it is real and true.

Investment / Incase You Are Not A Fan Of Ph And Gh In Online Income Earning... Try Simple by Kingston257: 6:15pm On Dec 13, 2016
Well for some of us - like me - that are not comfortable with the PH & GH which is very rampant nowadays. There still is a SIMPLE and SAFE platform for making a little income online - through referrals.

Here you make a ONE-TIME payment of 1K to 'upgrade' your account. After which you use your unique link to invite other people.
Its a very familiar system and its worth a try.

You receive 50% commission from direct referrals and 10% from downlines!
You're also paid back 50% of your own 'upgrade fee'. So you are actually only paying N500.

Its just simple and straightforward... and cool. cool

Sports / Mkhitarryan Set To Feature For Manchester United On Thursday by Kingston257: 1:52pm On Nov 22, 2016
Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho, has confirmed that summer signing, Henrikh Mikhittaryan will be involved for the Red Devils in their Europa League match on Thursday.
The Armenian have become something of an absentee for 20-time EPL champions. Though he was tipped to be a key player by many football analysts prior to the start of the season. Injuries, obviously, have played their own part as well.
The Man Utd boss also said he didn't think Henrikh could cope with the pressure of the Arsenal match as "it wasnt the match for him".
The club confirmed the news on its official account on twitter.
