I am not writing this for religious people to come with their funny talks, I am just putting this out here to hear from people who might have tried this methods or who heard about this methods and still proceeded or did not. I want to hear your experience. I have been dating someone for 5 years now, it happened that I began to see her as someone I would want to spend my life with. Last year we did our genotype test and we were both AS. Now , I know some of you will say this should be the first thing you ask when you meet someone but c’mon, would you say people in university that are dating now, would ask their sef that question? That theory is only feasible when you are single and ready to get married and want to start a new relationship, then you can always ask, but we all know some of our relationships started when we no Dey even see marriage in the nearest future, all of a sudden you just see them as the right person and you take the bold step. Now, I had to meet my family doctor here in Canada, I explained to him my current situation and he referred me to a GENETIC COUNSELOR. I am trying to take the necessary steps cause I am not ready to bring in a child with Sickle cell to this world, and I am not leaving anything to faith. A fone appointment was set with the counselor and we spoke at length. She told me that in every foetus, there is a 25% chance that we can get an SS child. Now , how do we mitigate this percentage to the barest minimum I asked as I am not even ready to bring in a sickler to this world. She gave me three options, I would rather say two because the last involves test when the baby comes, and that is out of the question.

Option 1:
A) CVS: They take a sample of the fluid in the womb through her vagina, at 12 weeks to test, if it’s good then fine, if not we have to terminate.

OR

B) At 16 weeks, they take the fluid using a needle directly from her womb, and if it’s SS , they terminate. Both procedures are cover by the government and we don’t need to pay a dime.

Now, she assured me that abortion is a very safe procedure if done properly, and it is even a bigger risk that one can die from a penicillin injection or carrying a pregnancy to term than any harm during an abortion.I know many people would come here and say abortion is this and that but let us be frank to ourselves. If you were told that the child in your womb would have cerebral palsy, or Down syndrome or a neurological disorder, would you still keep that pregnancy? Is there a 100% assurance that two AA people would give birth to a healthy baby? I have come to a realization that pregnancy is just a risk that people take, cus you really don’t know how your child would turn out.


Option 2:
PGD. This is just like IVF, where they would select the genotype before they insert back to the womb. She told me the government doesn’t cover this, and it could cost between $10K- $40k. However she mentioned, just like IVf, it is not guaranteed as it can fail and your money is gone.

I discussed this with my girl in Nigeria and she said she was fine with option 1a. I then asked her, that if the first, second are SS would she still remove it. She accepted. I would not lie to you, this girl is everything I want in a woman. I am not just looking at just love because I know love fades with time, but she is a really nice person, and has a good character. She has always been like this from my days in Nigeria because I was with her before I moved outside. Now after finding out our genotype, I tried to get into a relationship with AA. The first one Dey nigeria, she is a nice person, beautiful, but I just didn’t like her or feel attracted to her. She got tire and we just free ourselves, the second one is here in Canada, I just don’t like this one . Please note, I never slept with any of these ladies because I feel it’s not fair.


Now my question is for those who knew all this and still proceeded, how did it work out for you?

I repeat, don’t come here to tell me about how abortion is this and dat. Cus I know if they tell any of you that your child would be abnormal, 90% of you will go for the abortion

You don't need any advice.

I bought my Toyota Camry 2009 in December last year from someone traveling to UK.

This first owner bought it towards the end of 2019 as TOks. Unfortunately, coronavirus lockdown came and the car was parked all through 2020.

She managed to drive and only taking her kids to school, since the beginning of 2021 and just a few months in 2022 before I bought it December, 2022.

I am lucky I bought that car blindly without inspection. I was scared and because I read everywhere not to buy car without inspection 😉.

I took that risk and my spirit was okay with this very car. A quiet 🤐 engine, a car with pride and looks


I only trusted the seller and my guts told me the car is a good car.

Omo, I test drove the car, to my surprise, it looks like tear leather oooo.

The engine, very neat, AC cool as factory settings and everything intact oo.

I almost lost the car because my payments delayed and higher bidder too, on the standby to trigger the release clause ooo 😂


Thanks to God I was able make it and paid her.

Now, I am enjoying my ride and no issues. I only changed oil once and nothing to fix.

I drove the car to kogi in April. I owned the road. No issues. Flexible and a good friend .

Gear very cool. Brakes, cool.

I bought TOks in Nigeria 😂 N2.2m.

Bargain of the last year award goes to you lol.. enjoy your ride bro 😅

Made a thread on Nairaland, accessed people's opinions and later went for the more compact car with its parts readily available among my options.

Which was ?

Jagermeister:
I didn't choose my first car, it chose me!

As a first, most people bought the available at the time and not the desirable which directly implies that they bought the cheapest car available.

Toks Opel omega 2001 model, the only time I drove it was when I was in the drivers seat while it was towed from point of purchase to the mechos! After many months of trial and error, na the mechanic gan gan help me call Opel dealer wey come buy am as ngbuka for 60k back in 2011. I bought it for 100k.

I was only 21 after NYSC, I never get sense.

That car na factory error 😭

Collecting tax and levies at every check point right ?

Nice move cos it amounts literally to double taxation.

The people don't know they alone have the power to stop this nonsense.

Better it collapsed under construction though.

There have been floods at Trademore in 2017, 2020, 2021, 2022, and now 2023…
In fact, last year (2022), I believe up to 4 lives were lost (and I think in 2017, as well).

Mehn, hmmmm and yet the same people were out protesting against the demolition of the place yesterday

Happy sunday nairalanders.
I moved to a new area(Student area) and decided to attend a nearby church.

These are what I noticed.

-- I was the only one that used scarf.Even the choristers and the female ministers didn't use scarf.

--Almost all the female members are putting on trousers,ladies that put on gowns/skirt are not up to 20%.
I was even surprised that the two female ministers and the female choristers also put on trouser to climb the church alter.

--During prayer intersection,I noticed everybody were praying in tongues and it seems am the only person not filled with the holy spirit to speak in tongues.
Even when we were asked to pray on our offering,people still prayed in tongues.

And it just seems I'm odd among them or is it that am not modernized?

If you grew up in an Orthodox Christian home eg Catholic, Anglican, Methodist and the likes, why swap for pentecostal and claim to feel odd.

Kindly find one and worship.
