For the past few days, I’ve noticed that internet service on both MTN and Airtel has really deteriorated.

Browsing is slower, downloads are inconsistent, and sometimes pages don’t even load at all.
Is this just happening in my area, or is it a general issue across the country?

Kindly share your experience and location.

It 's been happening to me on MTN 5G. I get up to 300mbps but can't load some sites, can't conveniently have a video call without intermittent interruption. Even audio call too.

Was the pregabalin prescribed for you by a competent clinician? The reason I ask is bcoz pregabalin is known to be a controlled drug. What this means can be discussed separately.

Secondly, you appear to be over-medicating yourself, which can be unhelpful.

Yes, it recommended to me by a clinician. The b12 deficiency temporarily affected my nerves. Pregabalin helps to quiet those effects and it was prescribed short term.

On the issue of over medication, It's not something I could help. Vitamin d has to be taken with cofactors and isn't effective alone. I have since stopped taking any vitamin d supplements since january since i am okay now. same with k2. I rely on walking in the sun for 30 minutes mondays to fridays. I am currently on b12, multivitamin, pregabalin, omega 3, magnesium. I have run kidney and liver tests and they are perfectly fine. I also make sure i hydrate properly with 3-4 bottles of water daily. Once the issue of b12 has been fully addressed, i will switch to food based sources for maintenance. Thanks for your concern.

I had the same issue. It started with early waking. i would sleep normally but be up by like 3-4 am wide awake. Eventually, it graduated to not beeing able to sleep on time. i won't be able to sleep until 2-3am and i would be up by 5-6 am wide awake. Sometimes if i manage to sleep early by 10-11, i will be up by 2 with my heart racing. I had palpitations in my chest, feeling of fear and anxiety and i was hypersensitive to noise. I went to the doctors (four different ones at different times) and they prescribed sleeping pills for me with therapy . I have met numerous clinical psychologists and the issue still persisted. My Full blood count was okay, my thyroid was okay too.

Eventually, i started doing some self research (I was also praying hard at this point). I discovered that deficiency in some minerals in the body can cause insomnia. So i went and did test for the following: Magnesium, vitamin d3 (cholecalciferol), ferritin (iron), vitamin b12. These are some of the core culprits when it comes to insomnia. My results came out and i was deficient in vitamin d. I bought the supplement (1000 iu) and took it for a month with no improvement. Turns out that the current recommendation to take 600ius of vitamin d per day is now outdated and humans need close to 10k ius daily. I eventually bought the 5k iu one, took it for a month and noticed i started sleeping better. I went for a test and the vitmain d had jumped from 21 to 38. i eventually stopped taking it. After a month, the whole symptoms came back. I went for test aagin and the vitamin d was deficient again. Apparently, vitamin d has a very short half life of about 15 days. what this means is that if you stop supplementation and you don't get enough, consistent sunlight, it will reduce by half every 11-15 days. So i started supplementation again. This time, i took it with co factors - Magnesium, omega 3, and k2. I was fine again.

Eventually after a while, i couldnt sleep again. I started having pins and needles sensations in my legs. I had severe palpitations. My legs would be hot or cold or numb sometimes. If i eat high carbs or starchy foods by anything past 6pm, it would worsen even though my fasting blood sugar was okay. I went for test and discovered that i was deficient in vitamin b12 this time. I bought methylcobalamin 1500mcg to supplement. I took it with pregabalin to help with the leg sensations, i also bought a multivitamin that had the B complex vitamins in it. If you're short in b12, there's a high probability you are short in other b vitamins. The full b vitamin test costs over a million naira but b12 alone costs less than 30k. After about 2-3 months of supplementation, my levels jumped back to normal and i began to sleep fine again.


People kept telling me i was overthinking and that led to my insomnia. I have entered serious trouble in the past and still slept like a baby to face the trouble the next day. I know people who are in serious trouble that can lead to their arrest but they're sleeping fine. My advice is for you to go and run a test first - test magnesium, potassium, vitamin d3, ferritin, vitamin b12, calcium, full blood count, thyroid check. These are the core culprits. When you do, you can reply to this comment and I will be able to guide you. Don't forget to pray too.

I was walking to the gym today only to see this on the gate of one of the houses in victory estate, ago palace way. We normally don't have enough parking space and no one wants the stress of waking their neighbour early in the morning to go and move their car. Now we are hearing that the estate association want to start placing fines on people who park their cars on the side of the street overnight. 20k per "offence" in this harsh economic period.

They even gave a period of just 2 days or so before they start action. Is this legal?? it's very unfair to residents.

How can we fight this? See the letter attached below.
