You dey mind that one? Wetin e sabi?

Mattswaggz:
Just day play. .

Its ok chief ... I understand how everybody's schedule is these days considering how "awesome" things are.

Wow! Since your 20s.

Well, i feel it might have been triggered as an after math of maybe your ulcer drugs ... not i said "might" and not certain.

I can't say if the tea is better than the chamomile tea o but how our body works differs.

I'll put a pix of the pack of the chinese tea as an attachment (lets hope NL mods won't delete it).

I'll say, lets start with Horlicks tea ... Prepare with a warm (slightly warm) water + milk ... drink around 8pm. Try that for some days and lets see.

If that doesn't work then u may try the chinese tea (got it from justrite from my area 2k or so ... its been a while)

And i'll advise u check your BP and blood sugar to be sure all is ok in that department.

Hope u don't take these energy drinks sha? If not, pls stop am o and also, stay away from coffee especially the black nescafee except maybe if its decaffeinated sha.

Find attached the chinese tea and horlicks.

Babysho:
Sorry for the late response, really tied up with work and fatigue. Thank you for your response.

I can’t remember exactly what started it but most of my early 20s was battling ulcer and anxiety disorders. Now that I can say I’ve finally beat the ulcer and most of the anxiety, sleeping disorder comes in.

Is the tea better than chamomile tea cause I’m already taking that and it doesn’t work.

Are you advising stand alone drinking water before bed or it has to be with the tea?

Has it been like this for say 10 years plus or it just started recently?

Have u checked your blood pressure and blood sugar? If not, pls check it first.

Its not natural not to be able to fall asleep at night.

And lastly, tell me chief, you've been drinking energy drinks, abi?

if yes, that's where ur issue is cos energy drinks has a high amount of caffeine

SkyBizzy:
I'm having same issue, mine is even worse.
I don't sleep at all in the night

Hi sho.

I can relate with your issue cos i had it too some years back.

What exactly caused or started it?

Though there are some remedies u can try like this chinese tea i bought some months ago or u can buy horlicks tea; prepare warm with small milk and take around 8pm ... drink enough water; ease yourself and hit the bed ... I can guarantee u, you'll sleep for over 6 hours and wake up feeling relaxed.

So, if u wish to, u can discuss how it started ... Awaiting your response

Babysho:
I've been having sleepless nights for over a year now. Back and forth with doctors and sleeping meds.

I'd sleep around 10 or 11pm and be up 2am or 3am, wide awake like I wasn't just sleeping, unable to sleep back. I noticed recently that my heart rate would be high when I wake.

I'm this close to quitting my job because of insomia.

I've tried hundreds of remedies, chamomile tea, all sorts of sleep inducing fruits, sleeping medications, yoga, warm bath, nothing works.

Help.

Lets wait and see ... Fingers crossed ...

Na so una talk about russia some years ago ...

Montana23:
In your wildest dream, this will be the last one they ever regret the Middle East

Keep dreaming ...

You'll soon begin shout "genocide"

Montana23:
Im happy this time it has been foreseen, Iran will take every measure to correct the imbalance in the Middle East..USA will suffer this time because it is acting on behalf of Israel

Tell the sender to send u the receipt ... Check for transaction id there, and contact opay about the transfer, providing those details.

If trully the person sent the funds, opay can verify its authenticity.

Meanwhile, its always safer and better to have a form of savings with some of these banks to avoid this interbank wahala.

RuthAdesco:
Good morning nairaland family, please i need help on this issues, some sent money for me from FCMB bank to an opay account, she claimed her account was debited but I was not credited. Please how do I go about it

Chief, we are technically saying same thing... if the reason behind this issue can be dealt with (if possible), then his count/quality can be worked on ...

googi:
If it was that easy, most of the people with low sperm count would overcome it. There are variety of reasons for low sperm count, some can be easily fixed with good diet, some genetic, some damage or accident and others infections.



Only a lady knows the father of her child unless she is an habitual cheater.

His problem has solution na.

Deal with the reason behind low sperm count and also, bad quality of sperm.

Once that's sorted, he should work on increasing the count and quality ...

This can be done in less than 6 months na ....

Why all this fuss & noise?

googi:
When his doctor told him that his sperm count was too low to get his wife or anyone pregnant; his only condition to the doctor was not to tell his wife. He already knew before the test result came out.

The problem at that point was how to get his wife pregnant without exposing him. Someone had to tell his wife to cheat without letting him know.

If you're the doctor, would you encourage her to try someone else without letting him know?

Gigs dey but issues wey dey pass availability of gigs ...

Some churches dey mess up by using boiz ... They will employ u and at the end of the month, refuse to pay, citing one flimsy excuse or the other.

Another issue is what churches are looking for, isn't what they use to interview boiz hence, most guys, who are just starting, learn some big time stuffs, spit it out during interview, pass the interview and get employed. But with time, you discover, he isn't experienced at playing some songs ....

And yeah, the gate keeping thingy which most boiz do ... they'll rather give their friends than announce the opportunities...

jamerflepz:
I’ve noticed something lately…

Many skilled instrumentalists are actually available,
and many churches/events genuinely need musicians.

But somehow they rarely meet.

Most gigs move through WhatsApp groups, personal networks, or “who you know.”
If you’re not inside those circles, you might never hear about the opportunity.

Right now, a church in Ikeja is looking for a disciplined keyboardist
(paid role, structured team).

Instead of keeping the opportunity in private circles,
I decided to post it openly.

I also built a small platform called GigZone to help musicians and gig providers connect more easily. Still early stage but growing.

If you play (or know someone who does), just search “GigZone Lovable” on Google and you should find it easily.
Or drop a comment and I can point you directly.

And honestly… I’d also like to hear from musicians:

Is finding gigs harder now than before?

Chief, no need to sweat..... Split the wiring into each apartment and install this smart meter shown in the image below.

Whenever u recharge, say 180 units, u split into 3 = 60 units per each apartment ...

Anyone wey like, make e use hin own finish, tha'ts his problem ... Once any apartment exhaust their units, their light goes off while others enjoy thiers.

Its being sold on jumia jare:

Host78:
Hello guys

Please I'm having electricity problem with our new neighbour and I'm confused with what to do right now.

Here's the issue:

So we live in a compound where 3 rooms are connected to one prepaid.

So 3 of us donate to fund our prepaid meter.

A few months ago we were paying 4k and this usually last us for 2+ months. The reason I believe is that all we had to power is ceiling fans and charging of our devices (phones and laptops)

But ever since we got our new neighbor, the light bill has suddenly increased.

This month alone, we've recharged 8k+ individually and by my calculations, it'll cost each of us 12k+ for light to reach us for one month.

This is a significant jump from the 4k that will normally cover us for 2+ months.

I'm really not happy about this and don't know what to do right now.

I can't imagine paying 12k+ a month just to power my ceiling fans and laptop.

I have spoken with her and she told me she's using only fridge with the light, which I don't quite understand, how much our bill has jumped so significantly.

Please any suggestions on what to do will be welcome.

Its nothing to be worried about ...

Its most likely impacted wax that's blocking you from hearing properly ...

The issue with earbud is it encourages growth of bacteria and wax especially if u don't clean the earbud properly ...

I had a similar issue sometimes last year ... The pain is as a result of the impacted wax, resting on your ear drum ... It was cleared out by a specialist. First few hours/days were strange ... I was hearing so clear that even if a spec of sand drops, i'll hear it...

Just see an ENT doc and they'll most likely flush or find ways to clean your ear which takes less than 1 hour (the cost might blow you out of mother earth though) but its always worth it.

When its done, you'll ear some frequencies (high) that you probably not have been hearing for a long time due to the gradual build up of wax.

And lastly, always listen to your music at less than 50% volume and try get this itel budfit 5 whic doesn't sit in the ear canal but hangs outside ...

That's what i switch to and so far, no issue.

DeclanR:
Please Doctors, kindly come to my aid.

WHAT HAPPENED

I don't know if it's called Earpod, Earbud or Airpod, but it's all earpiece.
So I bought a Bluetooth one, downloaded Spotify playlist app on my phone's playstore and began listening to jamz 24/7 except when I'm bathing. Even at work, I use it.

I wasn't used to using accessories like this.

So, I noticed a pain inside my right ear, later it became a boyl. I felt the pains, took Bicham ampiclox and after a few days, it disappeared.

Now I can't hear with that ear any longer. I can only partially hear with it.

HOW AM I FEELING ?

In the ear, I feel like there's a blockage which is impeding sound. I feel like there's water in there. You know how it is when you're bathing and water enters into your ear? That's how the feeling is, right now. If I'm talking to someone, I feel there is an earpiece hanging in my ear, so I need to speak louder than normal. This is the Third day.
I am worried.

Thanks for this update.

After nearly two decades of limited access, PayPal has returned to Nigeria through a strategic partnership with Paga. But beyond the announcement lies a deeper story about persistence, local infrastructure, and the quiet builders who kept Nigeria’s digital economy alive long before global giants were ready to commit.

For years, PayPal in Nigeria felt like a locked door with a familiar logo. Nigerians could send money out, but receiving it, especially for freelancers, creators, and small businesses, remained a frustrating impossibility. It wasn’t for lack of demand. It was due to a lack of trust in infrastructure, regulation, and consistency.

So when news broke that PayPal was returning to Nigeria through Paga, it landed differently. Not as hype. Not as noise. But as a moment of recognition, one that had been a long time coming.

To understand why this return matters, you have to step away from PayPal for a moment and look at Paga, and more importantly, at the man behind it: Tayo Oviosu. Long before fintech became fashionable, Oviosu returned to Nigeria with a quiet conviction that payments should work for everyday people, not just banks and multinationals. He built Paga in 2009, when cash dominated, and digital trust was thin. He stayed through regulatory uncertainty, infrastructure gaps, and economic cycles that buried less patient founders.

That persistence is the real headline.
Visit technaija.com for more related articles.

PayPal didn’t just “choose” Nigeria again. It chose a partner that had already done the unglamorous work, building compliance rails, navigating regulation, and earning local trust transaction by transaction. Paga wasn’t built for headlines. It was built for a scale that survives reality.

This partnership marks PayPal’s most meaningful re-entry into Nigeria since its quiet exit nearly twenty years ago. Back then, the ecosystem wasn’t ready. Today, Nigeria’s digital economy is driven by freelancers exporting skills, creators monetising audiences, startups serving global clients, and SMEs operating across borders. What was missing was frictionless access to global payments, not ambition.

Now, Nigerians can receive international PayPal payments directly into their Paga wallets, convert to naira, and move funds seamlessly. It’s not just convenience. It’s validation. A signal that global platforms can no longer ignore African markets, not as future potential, but as a present force.

But there’s another layer to this story. PayPal’s return is not about generosity. It’s about inevitability. Nigeria has become too large, too digital, and too economically active to be sidelined. The rise of fintechs like Paga, Flutterwave, Paystack, and others created an environment that PayPal once deemed too complex. Local players absorbed the risk. They learned the terrain. They built trust. Now, global giants are stepping back in, through them.

This is what maturity looks like in an ecosystem. Not foreign dominance, but collaboration. Not replacement, but reinforcement.

For Nigerian freelancers who once relied on workarounds, for startups that lost deals due to payment friction, and for creators who watched peers elsewhere get paid faster, this moment feels personal. It closes a long-open loop. It also reminds us that progress in tech isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s the reward for staying when others leave.

PayPal’s return through Paga is less about PayPal finding Nigeria again and more about Nigeria becoming impossible to ignore.

Unfortunately, i don't ...

PureSperm:
Good morning Nairalanders, Please there's this issue that has been bothering me for a while now. There's this lady whom I met and have been dating for about 3 years now.

Though we've been doing alright all these while but suddenly she started having dreams concerning my family. Last night, she had a dream and she said inside the dream, my elder sister was berating her why she hasn't gotten pregnant for me all these while.

The truth of the matter is that we've only been cohabiting for 8 months and she hasn't for once missed her period.

Whenever we made love, I always noticed that she'd go the bathroom to pee and wash her private part. I have asked many elderly people around what that means and they keep telling me she doesn't want to get pregnant. Is that even possible at all?

The other disturbing part is that her mother is a traditional religious woman who worships the gods of her village and my woman also does the same. Recently I've been considering on how to marry her and have even been working towards it, and would be around March, next year.

Please, Nairalanders, what could be the problem. Should I go ahead with the whole relationship, considering how her family background is surrounded by the traditional religious practices of her family and how fetish she's. Could that also be the reason she has been finding it very difficult to take in?


Please mods, help me push this to the front page so that I can hear from others experiences and get a wider advise on how to go about this.

Please go and scan your car and let's have the codes here.

Most likely, your ECT is gone and maybe O2 sensors are dirty or bad

isholapeter9:
Please house kindly help me with my Toyota Corolla 012 Nigerian used that I just bought do consume fuel alot and at the same time the engine do vibrates at idle, any good technician in badagry that can help me fix this please 🙏

Bro, i'll advice you find a way to part ways but on certain conditions:

1. Do u want her to take in for you before you consider marrying her? If yes, does she agree with that? Have discussed it? If not, please talk about it verbally without assuming anything. If she is against it and you just want it to happen, u gotta run ...

2. Why is she not taking in, atleast for once? Let her know you've observed that she has not taken in for u ... But its advisable u go and run SFA at a reputable lab before u take this 2nd step ... Its about 10 to 45k and its an analysis for your sperm health ... if u have good result that shows ur soldiers are actively matching and with good health, u can take this step 2 and if possible, suggest u both visit a health clinic to examination ... she might have something as simple as hormonal imbalance which can be correct but all these, can't be done if she is not willing ... and if she isn't willing, pls don't run, fly with 25 jet engines ...

3. Ask her why she always runs to be bathroom to pee and wash her vjayjay ... Obviously, we know why: she doesn't want to get pregnant ... But still, ask her why, to see if she will lie about it ... if she does, then brova, shove ya azzz along and move to the next relationship.


At this day and age, nobody has the time for lies and dishonesty especially, in a relationship ... why waste each others time and efforts, ehn

Those are my views bro ... if u still need to maybe discuss further, drop ya contact ...

Hey chief, I'll advice you stop that cream you're using ... Switch to something organic like jimpo (ori).

Most of those creams we use to, u know, stay fair does a lot of damage to our skins ... This black dot thingy is the only physical evidence seen...

Post their wedding photo shoot make we see whether na our ex😁

From experience, that your corolla 04, has that small button, below the big gear clutch button, on the gear, when depressed, it enables the gear to enter 4 (its usually labelled as O/D or overdrive) ....

If its not pressed and left in down position, it will stay in 3 ... U just wasted your 140k and now, you have bigger problem ...

Donsilase:
Early November my car(corolla 2004) started giving sign of gear failure, it doesn't get to gear 4. I told a friend, he said he has someone that repairs automatic transmission and the person is very good, I then asked him to take me to his workshop. When we got there we met the so called gearmaster, he drove the car and said he will fix it and give us 3 months guarantee. He charged me 140k which I gave him 100k as deposit then he asked us to come back in the next one week. after one week I called him and asked how far, he said he haven't gotten some of the parts, we should exercise patience. After 2 weeks I called him again, he said there is progress that he's about to mount it. Meanwhile I couldn't be going to his workshop from time to time because it's far from my place, so last week I decided to go there. When I got there first I discovered my windshield has cracked, I asked him what happened, he said probably it was a mistake, I then asked him what of the gear, he said he's fixing it that I should wait and carry it. I said no problem. I waited till evening when he finished doing what he was doing the started the car to test it, behold my car doesn't enter reverse again, even when he put it in drive one of the tires doesn't move, meanwhile when I brought the car it was entering reverse, the only issue was gear 4. That was how we started quarreling, I told him to return the gear to the condition it was before and refund my money, he said its not possible that he's even tired of the work.

Please how do I handle this particular man, I didn't want to touch him because he's an elderly man
