Yes, go ahead

Kindly indicate/reach out to me if you're a keystone bank staff in any of the branches in portharcourt.

I made my bank flag her account. It took some time, but her husband mistakenly transfered some huge money meant for burial to the account.

They tried withdrawing but couldn't. The bank had to point out the case when she visited. So one faithful day I got a call to send my account number.

Na so I take recover my money o.

Ok, that's good.
But you should have updated your post to give hope to people with similar problem.

udumosam23:
I offer quickteller and agent banking services. A customer made a cash deposit, but during the transfer from my account to hers, there was network issue and i got a failure notice from my mobile app. I tried again and it was successful.

Latter i realised both transactions were succesful. I called her and she called the recipients who complained she is in hospital as at the time. So she gave me the number of the recipient to call her myself.

I did call her, and she told me she was still at the hospital, and though she acknowledged the double transfer, but her health comes first.

I sympathize with her situation and gave her time. I also prayed for her recovery (pls don't think it's because of the money, I'm a Christian).

After a week i called again and thankfully she has recovered, but she was harsh on me. She complained that was not the first time someone posted money wrongly to her account. And finally ask me to remove the money if i have a way of doing so.

I went to the bank to lodge the complain only to realise she has withdrawn all the money. She doesn't even use the account frequently and the address is very far from the East. Infact, she is at Illorin.

I thought of getting a court order as adviced against the account. But then the amount is small, just 30,000. Don't want to think about how much I'll begin to spend with a lawyer in a bid to recover that amount.

My bank also wanted to... (don't even know how they called that) to her account. But money doesn't even come frequently to the account.


I have thought of threatening her, but i have already given her the impression I'm a Christian.

Just thinking on how best to recover my small money without having to spend more than it.

I have also thought of letting go. But each time i do, i think of the amount as too big to dash a criminal. Besides, she said it wasn't the first time. Probably she went away with others, and if she go away with this too, she'll continue and encourage others to do same.

So please what do i do in this case, considering the fact that I'm at the east, and she west.

How did this case end, bros?

freshious94:
A super agent was contacted and my account has been unblocked. She knew someone thatworks there, she bribed the person.

Is the misunderstanding you had with her related to the business you were running with her?
Is it something that had any effect on bet9ja as a company?
If not, then, it's illegal for your account to be blocked.
That should not be accepted by you.
Don't allow people to intimidate you, unless you went against the terms and conditions of running the business.

charli5:
Yes

Is that not outrageous high??
Is there any business anyone can do in Nigeria with that money that will be able to yield 20% ROI every month??

charli5:
Get a quick loan between 0-500000naira @ 5% per week

Collateral should be a liquid asset. Car(Toyota brand) phones (IPhone, Samsung) e.t.c

Call/WhatsApp 09092060569

Loan at 5% per week, and 20% per month??

greatnaija01:
NIGERIA= 150k to 220k

USA= 670K(naira) AND ABOVE

Hope you understand what a "resident doctor " mean.
What you posted is more like the salary of young doctors working in private hospitals, not that of resident doctors.

Jacku:
nawa o. Can I message you on whatsapp if possible? Thanks alot.

Maybe, but I'm not currently in Nigeria.
You can preferably send a mail

These 360k people will invest and then pray for a reason to complain.
How do you go back home after investing without taking any of the staffs' number??
Those who put in big money will always have, at least a staff, making moves to immediately befriend them.
And they get their issues sorted out through such staffs, without coming online to bombard us with questions.
So, if your money can't get you a friend after investing, then try begging any of their staff his/her phone number so you can sort out your issues through that particular person.
This thread is not an extension of their office.

Morganaliticus:
"10,000" active investors, "10" business locations!

Don't mind the bonehead.
That's the type that copies his neighbor's name in the exam hall thinking it's part of the answer.

DexterousOne:
It's a global village
I will have one leg in many places

And yea
I'm self aware
White supremacy has no victim in me, whether in the covert form, or overt form.

I'm of african origin and its something to be proud of, nd not ashamed about
But then
Wanting to have a global outlook to life is not a problem at all

You of all people should understand that
If a white man can make such decisions and not have to crack his head about "acceptance" or "the perception of what the people living there will have of me"

I can do same too.
Especially if you have a sizeable networth that can tame care of your living expenses effortlessly


Like one of my former colleagues used to tell me

"You think too much like an expat, and expat life is not designed for the black man (indirectly saying expat mentality and living is not for us )

I dont subscribe to such thinking (even tho to be very honest, most blacks dont have the expat mentality, they are mostly emotionally attached to "home"

I dont know if you get the angle I'm coming from

You've not told us what work/job you'll be doing in your new/dream country when you finally get there.
Or is it retirement you're going there for?
Bros, if you don't have any good job doing or have a good chance of getting one(based on your skills) in those countries, you may regret going there oo.

Marychigozie:
3.9% monthly

Too bad and outrageous. Nigerians are very greedy.
In the middle east, banks beg customers to come take loans at 4 to 6% per annum.
Will be taking it and investing in Nigeria.

Marychigozie:
Kindly chat or call Mary 07060466024 for enquires on loan, I work with creditville limited

What's your interest rate per annum?

Raalsalghul:

Do you live outside Nigeria?
If you do, you'll realise that no matter how bad your country is, home is still the best.

shomutuski:
Snail farming broo. Message me on instagram @waxmust_farms

From nairaland to Instagram?
Are you an internet farmer?
Say what you want to say here or you give him your phone number.

CyberEBOLA:
LUCKY YOU. A very rare opportunity you gat there.
Anyway, if it were to be me, I would go into Agriculture.
(everyone eats, hence everyone is a potential customer)

How do you guys go into agriculture when you don't have any other source of income??
How do survive before the farm starts yielding profits?
Hope you're not an internet farmer?

Atigba:
Don't blame them, it is lack of awareness for the most part.
Again the testing, followup and treatment is expensive.
I think the government should create commission for hepatitis management and reduce the various treatment involved with the virus like HIV.

In Europe for instance, if you are tested for HBV, it is compulsory for you to attend all the appointments scheduled for you by your doctor. They will even write to you through email to remind you when your appointment date is close.

The test and treatment is free.

Agree with some of your points, but if you've practised in Nigeria, you'd realise that's a totally different world.
Most of these people are fully aware of the existence and implications of having any of these viruses/diseases, but have been trained by their pastors and imams to reject having them.
Their new teaching is that once you reject what the doctor diagnose you with, you won't have it.
Remember they respect these religious leaders far more than anyone else.
The government can't do anything about such beliefs and practices.
Testing, treatment and follow up may be expensive, especially when considering the high rate of poverty in the country, but even if they are made free, many will still not go for them.
My friend in Portharcourt just told me he currently has a man with HIV, HBV, TB, and DM on admission, but this man's wife has vehemently refused to be tested for any of these 4 deadly diseases.
To her, the husband doesn't have them, and there's no need for her doing the tests.
This belief also accounted for why this man is presenting with these 4 diseases all in advanced stages.
You can easily guess what the outcome will be.
This is just a good example of how cultural and religious beliefs are influencing medical practice in Nigeria.

Ayotunde81:
Hello my fellow nairalanders, I just need an advice, I have up to 750k that I want to invest in pig farming, I want to ask all pig farmers in the house to give me advice if it will be OK to start on a small scale. And also the expected turn over.

So, finally, how far?
Where you able to start it?
How did it go?

Jacku:
wow! Thanks for the info. I guess I'll just chill. Just wanted to ensure I'm living fine and not a walking time bomb.

Are you a Doctor? If I may ask

You don't need to go chill
What's your HIV, HBV, HCV, VDRL status? Have you been vaccinated for HBV?
How about your blood glucose, BP, and lipid profile levels?
These need to be checked/monitored regularly.
Others like Chest x ray/ECG, liver function tests, serum electrolytes, urea and creatinine may be added by your doctor if clinically indicated.

Gee64:
My 22 years old daughter had seizure since birth and is on 800mg dose per day. Please help her seek a cure.

What type of seizure does she have? Tonic? Clonic? Generalised tonic-clonic? Myoclonic? Absence? Etc
What drug is she on(you only mentioned the dosage)?
The type of seizure she has will determine the kind of drug she'll be on.
Is she being seen by a Neurologist?

A seizure that starts from birth will usually not be curable.
She will have to depend on drugs for control; and with proper drug selection and dosing, she can be seizure-free for a reasonable length of time.

Ipisi:
Yeah I heard that there's no cure for hepatitis B.... But can you recommend any drugs that can help an hepatitis B patient manage it properly well

Yes, there are drugs that are aimed are reducing the viral loads, halting progression of liver disease and decreasing the rate of transmission.
Some of them are expensive, and I don't know how readily available they're in Nigeria.
But then, it's not every patient that qualifies for antiviral therapy(Livolin is not an antiviral drug).
Every positive patient has to undergo serology tests to determine if he's qualified for treatment with such drugs.
A patient whose serology results show his status as a chronic carrier or chronic inactive hepatitis B infection, doesn't need any antiviral drug.
Stuffs like Livolin and a healthy lifestyle that involves abstinence from alcohol and certain medications will just be enough, while undergoing regular liver function tests.

Galaticos444:
but u said earlier that's incurable and kind of misguiding people

It seems there's widespread ignorance in Nigeria!
I haven't told you it's curable in any of my subsequent posts.
That the immune cells are able to successfully clear the virus in a very few people in the acute phase in my scenario 1 doesn't make it curable.

There's no drug yet that can CURE hepatitis B. So, it is not curable yet.
I hope you understand English??

Atigba:
You will only progress from chronic to cirhosis and cancer if you didn't manage the disease or you are not awear of it.

The reason is very important for everyone to get tested because majority of people that have it don't know.

The virus is a silent killer. It doenst show symptoms until it is too late

Excellent.
Some, due to their religious beliefs(which haven't taken Africa to anywhere), don't like hearing the truth.
Once you tell them, you will become the enemy that's wishing them death.
The few years I practised in Nigeria were filled with frustrations.
Once you tell a Nigerian he/she has tested positive, the next thing you'll hear is "God forbid", and you won't see them again.
What outcome would one get in a country where people don't even believe they have the disease or that the disease exists?

Blesso222:
Please stop inflicting fear on people. Know of someone with hapetitis from birth, she’s now 49 and still chopping life. I have it too for years no symptoms. Though it’s advisable to be running liver function test aléast every six months and avoid the avoidable

If you were reasonable, you would know I listed about 5 categories of scenarios, and that you and your friend might belong to scenario 2.

Medicine is a science and has nothing to do with wishful thinking; neither does it have anything to do with religion.
As a doctor, my role is to tell patients what's medically and scientifically possible, and not necessarily what they'll like to hear.
You tell them the reality and possible solutions, if any.

Galaticos444:
bro it depends on ur immune system and the ability of ur immune system to fight d virus and also taking drugs and food or fruits dat keeps d liver healthy,personally I know of a close friend dat had hepatitis B and d last time he went 4 check up he was cleared of d virus.

One of several scenarios may happen
1. The patient's immune cells may successfully clear the virus if still in the acute phase(1st 6months)
2. The person may live just as a chronic carrier and eventually died from other causes
3. The person may develop acute fuminant hepatitis and die of acute liver failure
4. The person may develop chronic liver disease and die of liver cirrhosis.
5. The person may develop liver cancer and die from it.

Your friend belongs to category/scenario 1

Anonimoss:
So does it mean people with hepatitis b are likely to die sooner?

Not exactly, but one of several scenarios may happen
1. The patient's immune cells may successfully clear the virus if still in the acute phase(1st 6months)
2. The person may live just as a chronic carrier and eventually died from other causes
3. The person may develop acute fuminant hepatitis and die of acute liver failure
4. The person may develop chronic liver disease and die of liver cirrhosis.
5. The person may develop liver cancer and die from it.

Dpsychologist:
Dude i said Hepatitis and i did not specify. But u single handedly chose hepatitis B to rebuff my statement.

That even makes it worse, bros.
"Hepatitis" is not a single disease(there's no single disease known as "hepatitis ", and many of the causes are not curable.
Hepatitis is a term used to describe the inflammation of the liver.
Causes of hepatitis are numerous and include viruses(viral hepatitis A to E), bacteria, protozoa, parasites, drugs, alcohol, etc.

Be specific next time.

Dpsychologist:
Hepatitis is a very Dangerous disease. We just thank God it is curable. I believe that if we stand firm we can eliminate it.
#HappyWorldHepatitisDay

Hepatitis B is not curable, that's why the emphasis is on prevention.
I wonder where you got your own news from.
You can only eliminate it via breaking the chain of transmission, but in Nigeria where recklessness and religious beliefs supersede medical advice, that'll be a far cry.

Mathscum:
Nothing to fear.

That's how they flush their pussy after sex to flush out their cum or lubricant from the condom.

They don't allow you to carry the condom they dispose it for you no need to fear next time, if you are not comfortable with them been in possession of the condom, tell them to flush it in your presence (but this will be possible in classic ashawo house)

Again no need to fear
I have experienced what you are saying more than 500 times

Welcome to the club of no return

More pussy to your dick

I'm surprised people are ignorantly liking your post.
Does urination flush the vagina?
Is the urine coming out from the vagina or the urethra

Ninejaywon:
And you ask yourself, when you give insulin to type 2 diabetic patient, does it really work??

I am no doctor but I have massive health knowledge about diseases and I Know type 2 diabetes occur when the cells in the body are unresponsive to insulin produced in the b-cells of the pancreas. So you ask yourself how introducing exogenous insulin will improve the blood sugar entry into the cell

Excellent, I'm greatly relieved realizing you're not a medical doctor, because having traveled far and wide, I'm now very convinced that the quality of training in Nigerian medical schools in terms of knowledge is very comparable to what's obtainable in more developed countries.
No doctor anywhere in the world would write that "no doctor will prescribe insulin patients with type 2 diabetes ". That's crazy, bros!

Now, in the definition of type 2 DM, two factors must be included: insulin resistance and inadequate insulin production. Insulin resistance alone does not characterize it.

Insulin ingestion in type 2 comes in because of the second component of that definition.

As for where insulin works, the answer is categorical YES. It works.
If you've experienced where it didn't work, just know it wasn't given in the right dose and or dosage.
The body produces about 30 to 40 units daily in an average normal person.
A diabetic produces far lower than this.
In the background of hyperglycemia from DM, just know that you won't be seeing any miracle if you're giving a total range of 30 to 40units daily. This won't be enough to achieve any reasonable result in a diabetic.
