[quote author=deco_slim]Official Naija Sickle Cell Warrior Page

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Naija-Sickle-Cell-Warriors/453940418000596

Like and let me make you all admins[/quote]Thanks Deco. I jsut liked the page.

I saw this happening a while back (I mean behind the scene strategy of decongesting Lagos).

It is not a coincidence that BRF is banning Okada and introducing stiffer traffic regulations. Any keen observer of the unique Nigerian type of politics will know that some powers that be, are just using BRF to de-populate Lagos.

When I was still staying in Lagos, (just about the time they demolished Tejuosho market). I once told my friends and associates that Lagos will be made so uncomfortable for the poor masses, that they will start leaving in droves.
It happened in Abuja and am not surprised that it is happening in Lagos now.

Idowuogbo: Morning warrior! How u bin? I see ur countless efforts to get this project on d move, bear this in mind,if a goal is set properly...it's already half achieved.Keep it up bebe! am right behind ya rooting.

thank you. I believe we can achieve any goal we set and are passionate about.

Good morning to the Warriors and lovers of warriors. May your week be a fulfilled one.
@deco_slim, I believe it's time we get this project rolling. Procastination is one of the vices I detest. Check you email.

Goodday all warriors and lovers of warriors. Hope you all are having a great weekend.
Shallom.

There is no excuse for cheating. However were in the course of discussing with your spouse, S/he chooses to hear only what S/he wants to hear then there is bound to be a problem.
Communication is a two way thing, but some people are very much in Love with their own voice.

[quote author=deco_slim]All options are okay..but we still need to decide...[/quote]Deco, am thinking of "Naija Sickle Cell Warriors" as a FB fanpage.
What do you think?

Dreystar: Nice concept, how about a BBM group for those on bbm?
If deco can do something about that, I think that will be good too. Coupled with a fb group/page.
What's your take on that?

That will be a good Idea also.

I once stayed a week (mon to fri) indoors without going out when I was young. I still keep a lot to myself.

Deep4321: Hi, I am please to see some people are actually taking up health care in Nigeria. Well i am from India and working in one of the Reputed Institute. Well i would like to be the part of this topic and like to help people any health care related issue. I can also be contacted on deepanshu.thukral@yahoo.com. Thanks

I sent you a PM.

I am calling on all warriors and lovers of warriors who showed so much interest in the other thread "Facts and Myths About SCD to make their inputs on this thread.
This thread is a call to action. It is time we spread this awareness beyond NL.
Let's brain storm on a possible FB name and maybe a suitable picture/s for the fan page. You can email me at abiaaba4@gmail.com, or contact Deco at decoslim@gmail.com

I know some people will like to remain anonymous, that is why we are still using online medium to spread the awareness of SCD.
You can always create a new email, to help protect your identity.

This is an appeal to the MODs of this section, I will very much appreciate it if we can take this thread to the front page. Let's see if we can get people who are interested in joining our FB fan page.
Thank you.

Tha warplay: my email 2lanre@ovi.com u can also add me on nokia chat

I sent you a PM

[quote author=deco_slim]Ok...when do we need d fanpage...but I was thinking of a group too...facebook group[/quote]Yes, we will get a group. But let's draw more traffic first from FB fanpage. Already there is one, SICKLE CELL WARRIORS on FB. But it is filled with people who are not Nigerian. So ours will be targetted mainly at the warriors in Nigeria or Nigerians who reside our side the country. Of course people from all over the world who are interested will be welcomed.

I sent you a PM.

[quote author=deco_slim]Or add me on BBM

If we are going on with d forum...

I don't mind I can get us one...

But I will use a free domain like

Any-name-will-choose.tk for now....[/quote]Deco, I believe we need our own forum. But for now, why don't we create a FB fanpage and try to draw traffic from there, then we can move on with our domain name.
I will be sending you a PM soon.

[quote author=deco_slim]That's true...dis trend is reali losing stem...

So let's get our forum?[/quote]Deco, please make out time to visit this thread. Am already in contact with some people off NL. I aslo need to contact you off NL.

nairaland.com/1097963/project-sickle-cell-disease-awareness#12901774

Idowuogbo: Hope?
Taa! Liv dat tin! U sure loving d drama.

Madam, thank God I found you. I need you to visit a new thread I created and make your input there. Here is the link
nairaland.com/1097963/project-sickle-cell-disease-awareness#12901774

Thank you.

Briareos: Kudos Abali!

I saw your second mail, thank you for being so interested. I wll try my best to see if I can get other SCD warriors to make their input on this thread. Expecially getting them to leave their mail address here.
If we can get 20 or more interested people in this "project SCD awareness" we can pick it up from there.

Please house, interest in this project is free and voluntarily. It is born out of a selfless desire to help correct some old myths about SCD and also to let people know that there are indeed people who have SCD and yet live a normal life.

queen binte o: Which other thread. I can't drop ma email here cos d addy is in ma full name. Try bureo0320@hotmail/gmail.com wil check if they are stil functionin. Tnx

yeah, I understand. I actually created a new mail because of this thread. The mail addy is abiaaba4@gmail.com
I will send a mail to the ones you listed above, Abali1 will be the subject.
The new thread am talking about is, Project Sickle Cell Disease Awareness. I created, cos this thread is gradually losing steam.

queen binte o: @ Deco- I hope you av been takin your drugs regularly or else!!!

queen, what do you say to having our own FB fan page. We need to put a human face to create and spread the awareness.
Visit the other thread or drop your email here. I will contact you off NL

Briareos: Thanks Abali1, I will reply you shortly.

A facebook group or fanpage wont be such a bad idea. Most people check fb everyday and updates their will be easily assessed.

I thought about that (I mean a FB page) but you know some people will not really want to be know as SCD sufferers. But if we can get enough people on board, then a FB page will really help us to create the needed awareness. Let's hear from others.
Deco, I hope you can help us create a FB page when the time comes.

MOD's please forgive me if this is the wrong section for this topic. Thank you.

This is a follow up to the thread, "Facts & Myths About SCD"
This thread became important, because I believe that one of the ways to create awareness and enlightenment the public about SCD is by putting a human face to it.
So many people are afraid about to talk about the health conditions with "strangers". Am not one of those people, because I believe it's a bonus to know what ailment that one suffers from and also to learn anything and everything one can about such ailment.
I am will to leave my email contact on this thread, and as time goes on I may actually leave my phone number.
Please, I have said it before am not a Medical Doctor. So what ever information I may give, verify with your Doctor.
Am willing to let people know how I have managed my health condition.
I will not at any time demand Money or any other form of compensation, for information I give. Freely I recieve, Freely will I give.
abiaaba4@gmail.com

deco, is time to start contacting people off NL. My mail is up there.... And just created a new thread for creating awareness in the form of contacting people and hearing their stories (for those who will not want to really talk to anonymous people.)
Blink, Deco, Strong and all warriors please lets tell our unique stories. Your emails will be needed here or on that other thread.
LET'S GO THERE PEOPLE.

Briareos: Wow! This is so wonderful. I was researching about SCD on Google for my upcoming short documentary film when I come across this thread.

I have learnt so much about SCD from this single thread and it has really encouraged me to continue the project.

Please, I'll be grateful if you guys can contact me thru:

Briareos806@gmail.com

Or drop your numbers on that email and I will get back to you.

Addendum:
There is no harm in getting another forum while a thread is been maintained on nairaland.

Briareos, thanks for your suggestion.
Guys, it's high time we take some action. At least lets start by contacting each other through emails, then we can move up to phone numbers and by His grace we will meet face to face.
My email is abiaaba4@gmail.com,
briareos I will be sending you a mail shortly.

Goodmorning warriors and lovers of warriors

[quote author=deco_slim]Are we ready...let's get started[/quote]Deco, we need to open another thread for this budding idea. I doubt if we can achieve much on this thread, cos it's already losing steam.

Goodmorning all.

[quote author=deco_slim]Yeah...that's anoda thin...

Nairaland got d traffic[/quote]Okay. If we are to use NL, we still need to put a human face to it. We can still use NL, to organise a meet at least quaterly.
How do we fo about this? Creating awareness can go a long way to help other sufferers. What do you guys think?

blink182: mor...evening dear. Just returned from criss-crossing delta state.

what's your opinion about us having our own forum?

FKBZ: Hi house,
The Idea of a website is very good,but I was looking @ we setting a group in which very warrior can meet maybe once in 3 months,then we go ahead with a website which we would make very interactive so people like us can have a group to fall on incase of enquiry or otherwise.if we can do this we can be bigger than d sickle foundation in idi araba which isn't really attending to pressing issues of SCD patients.
My thoughts

It's actually a good idea to meet once in a while, at least to put a Human Face in the new forum that will be created. So that people can actually see us and hear us talk live.
The only problem I envisage there, is that we live in different city. Unless we rotate the meet.

@deco, the names are okay. But let us brain storm some more and wait for other peoples input. As FKBZ said, this could be bigger than sickle cell foundation.
Talking about sickle cell foundation, you guys only need to visit there site and you will be disappointed.

ok. Deco can we brain storm on a domain name here on Naira Land. I will suggest you create a thread for that, let's see if we can get NL MOD'S to put it on front page, cos this thread is already losing steam. Fewer people are visiting it.

Maybe something like Warrior_Amazon forum.... what do you think.
A catchy name is necessary

[quote author=deco_slim]This group should have its on forum...

Am a web designer I can create a forum for we all to
Share SCD experiences and much more...

What do u think you all...

Blink,

abali
Idowuogbu

Ur say on dis...[/quote]wow! Deco my man, that will be really good. I am ready when you are. Count me in.
