Yes, you can. Though there are different types of sensodyne toothpaste. Professionals recommend rapid action type for sensitive tooth.

I don't have any tooth ache, one of the tooth on my right side just reacts to cold water only a few times, no rotten tooth at all, the sensitive part started when I felt some iron rub each other, can't remember exactly, you know those small irritation u feel when sometin hapins near u, nah so one tooth come dey sensitive


I'm just trying to be proactive, only brush once daily currently but I I'll change my formula and teach it to my children as well

Which of the sensodyne wld u recommend for someone just being proactive? I guess u might not b a dentist though

Meeting an old class mate, we had not seen each other for about 30 years. The Lord has been kind to me. When I saw him again - this time at a hotel lobby - he was looking simple. He wore simple Ankara attire. I felt touched. He walked up to me and was glad to see me again. But deep within me I was not impressed with his status compared to mine and poor me, I couldn't hide it. We exchanged contact details and I could see the joy in him as he collected mine.

I told him I will drop him home in my brand new Range Rover and I pointed it to him. He declined and said he had already called for his car. It looked old, a 2001 Honda Accord.

I invited him the next day for lunch at my house. A part of me wanted to impress him - To show off my success and affluence to him, while another was to discuss opportunities and possibly help him.

He drove to Parkview where I lived. He looked impressed with my home. I had taken a heavy mortgage. In fact I was heavily in debt. We had lunch. He told me he was into small business and particularly real estate. I brought up more business discussions, but he didn't sound too interested. I asked him how I could help him. He said he was fine. I even told him if he was interested, I could help him secure some loans... He looked at me and smiled.

He told me he would invite me over soon to his place. His old car came for him. I was grateful to God for what I had. “Fingers are not all equal”, I thought to myself...I was lucky. I worked in a good place.

Two weeks later, we went to see him in Ikeja. My wife and I. She was reluctant to go because she was not impressed with the man's status as to warrant our visiting him in his house. I was able to convince her that we were close friends in college. We saw the Estate. Wuraola Estate. We asked for directions to his home. Those leading us spoke his name with deference.

It was a simple but lovely home. A 4 bedroom bungalow. I saw 4 cars parked in front. We entered his home. It was simply elegant with a touch of class inside. He welcomed us warmly.

Lunch was well served. His wife called him Baba Wuraola

During lunch, he asked about my MD. He said they were friends. I saw a company gift on one of his tables nearby. That company owned about 38% shares where I worked. I enquired from him about it. He smiled. He told me he owned the company. He also owned the estate.

I did not know when I called him sir... I was in awe of him too.

I had learnt a lesson in humility - A big one. Appearances are deceptive. He noticed my discomfort.

Driving back home, I was very quiet. My wife was humbled and extremely calm. I could perceive the thoughts in her mind. I looked at myself. Living on loans, heavy loans and showing off while someone who pays my salary is quite modest and living a simple life!

Indeed Deeper Rivers Flow In Majestic Silence!

Oga I have read this exact story on nairaland before by another author


Is it that you are that same or you guys fabricated the story and reposting it

Because I've narrated it to friends just to encourage and tell them to be diligent in life

You let me build my story from ur fabricated story?

balominer:
just use sensodyne.
buy from ShopRite. use it in the morning and at night.

Normal person without toothache fit use the sensodyne? cos I'm scared of such aches

I once battled pile, it was another level of pain entirely so I no go want make somting like day do me or any of my relatives or anybody for that matter

My brother recently removed a tooth after serious pains, he cld not sleep on so many nights cos of pain

Omoslim26:
pdp did this pdp did that

i am not a fan of pdp i wont dispute the fact that dey stole

bt i tell you wit all honesty nothing can ever be worse than what we have now buhari and his govt is the worst dat can ever happen to us as a nation

bsides the apc you are supporting now are upgraded thieves from pdthief

make u no dey fear to tell ur sef true just bcus you wan support one political party

People are just funny, buhari has been taken over since 5 years ago, he(buhari) and other zombies are still blaming pdp for his own incompetence

Pikin wey Dem born wen buhari take over go don dey run for street already by now

DMerciful:
Nah, using local means he knows if crime goes on, his people will hold him responsible. His direct inaction might affect his own family including.

I quite agree with your point though

If that would sort the menacing situation we have... Then it would be a good move

But is the federal govt ready to tackle the insecurities in the country?

DMerciful:
Exactly! How can a stranger perform more than indigenes that know the nook and cranny of his place?

The stranger is supposed to be a trained stranger such that he can adapt to any situation, or are you saying an American police can not carry out his duties efficiently if he was sent to a town in ogun state

At least you as a person must have survived in other locations outside your own community of origin

There are pros and cons of sending police personnel outside their state of origin

GermanMelania:
No answers yet o bros pls help me

Nah indoor I dey all day ohh, don't know situation of things

yazga:
People are fucking walking!!!! Bus fares are hiked. Cabs cost over twice the former price. There is still major traffic. People are not safe. People are losing even more sleep. Not like you fucking care. It’s just a little discomfort to you.
As long as your cars are not scratched, you don’t care

Pure wickedness I tell you


Okada don scratch me better scratch like twice, but I would not have thought banning okada would be a solution to the scratch, rather sensitizing the riders on how to protect their lives and their passengers while driving

DownChelsea:
whatever positive change is needed would have to start somewhere.

It is unfortunate that the lower class Have a closer proximity to the dreaded lawlessness, insanity and chaos and decay the state government wants to get rid of.

Pursuant to the unfortunate situation the lower class (especially the sane and law abiding ones) finds itself, THERE IS NO ATTEMPT THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE AT BRINGING BACK SANITY “IN ANY FORM” THAT WOULD NOT PROMPT AN OUTCRY.

I like your last statement : there is no attempt....
True though

Our own govt no just send us... They want a baby to learn to fly from day 1

Development is a gradual process, it would hurt but the rate our govt is doing theirs would probably kill not just hurt

Have you read Rwanda's style they used, even the political elite felt the heat, our own nah only poor masses dey feel the heat, they are still considering increment/decrease of pay for political office holders when even the one they collect now is some people 35years take home pay

Apologies for dragging the matter, I dey disgusted by this govt and their ways

Righteousness89:
Good road is not substitute for automobiles..

I was going to quote him to tell him


Guess we all need to sanitize our brains on how things should work in a sane country cos some people just seem to think Nigeria is working meanwhile it's a shìt show

DownChelsea:
not only in Nigeria. All over the world, government policies can’t favour the entire populace. It is the government’s mandate to sanitize the state. People may make their living from the lack of sanity, but the government must do what it must do, REGARDLESS.

No policy can favor an entire populace; yes

But here in Nigeria most policies rips the poor of even their little

In other countries

Light is mostly a forgone issue

Health: govt has major stakes in those e.g China that's battling with coronavirus recently opened a 1000 bed hospital under emergency situation
Which govt hospital is serene in Nigeria and has a 1000 bed capacity

Security: our police is our own enemy, people dey fear police like no man business, you're a suspect for carrying dreadlock or tattoo, SARS nko: sorry case

Army is a menace; make mistake match army man, sorry nah ur name

Pipe borne Water: I guess I don't have to expantiate more

Transport:

Housing:

Education:

Research and development:

Industry:

Employment:

Internet:

Good roads:

The list is endless ma

When you provide those basic amenities, you have solved most of life's problem for the entire country, you would not need to make policies to favor every single person because everybody wld b aiit already

instead of our government to stabilize things they go on to increase taxes for even amenities they did not provide while we provide basic amenities for ourselves and they still want to shut us down

grossintel:
In my opinion this doesn't make any sense. Those comparing Lagos with mega cities like Tokyo should also note that they have other means of transportation available to the public. High speed trains, mono rail etc. Population in Lagos is so much, imagine boarding a bus and dragging with over 100 people!

No mind people wey dey compare Lagos and other mega cities, one mumu was hailing the decision and comparing us to the likes of Dubai,I just jejely added pix of those cities and their several other means of transport and the goat cld not reply, plus the fact that those other transport means are even either govt project or partnership project between government and maybe some companies

So it boils down to the fact that the government is the one making lives easier for their populace by providing basic amenities at affordable rates, but for us here

We provide our own water, electricity, health, security and other necessities, what then is the govt's job

sophy17:
Bridge of contract ke?

I guess you know he meant "breach" nah

Nobody sabi everything, probably he doesn't know or he got carried away

But the truth is businesses in Nigeria are holding on by a string/thread

One man can be elected tomorrow and he destroys a business by just signing some "not so we'll" thought out plans not minding how his decisions affect anybody

GermanMelania:
Can any one tell me if traffic was better?
How much shorter was your commute?

This is a golden question?

Has anybody replied you?

Pls quote me for the response if u don't mind

sisisioge:
Hmmm....I got to the busstop and called my boss that I wasn't coming in today. This is because our initial agreement was for me to telecommute sometimes anyways. However, I had to walk about 5km to use a particular bank in the hot sun because the transaction had to go today. A journey I used to connect with two maruwas of N50 each! Why? Why would they chose to just make life difficult for people?

It is well.

It's a sad show

The sanwo olu himself has probably never lived in the not so luxury areas, they just wake up, take decisions not minding how it affects other


We are not saying they should not ban them, all we are saying is the government should provide alternative on how to move people around short untrekkable distances and jobs for those that have been rendered jobless by this action

Even people wey get car gan, wld they drive their cars everywhere for even short distance that they cld just use say 50 keke

helinues:
They have both been replaced with Otrek

I think there's now O-Horse, you need to update Lagos transport system file sir

Nigg3369:
I was fine with everything until this, how dare you say Kim doesn't have a perfect personality compared to tacha she is practically a god who cares about how you look your personality is what makes you great if tacha had a good personality don't you think she would have won but instead no, she has a bad personality

Ouch, in reality, perfect personality is kinda relative ohh, haba just tacha dint win doesn't mean Kim has a perfect personality and tacha doesn't

For me personality is based on who I would like to copy and Kim is not some1 I think I would like to copy or allow my daughter to copy

The truth is I don't know what to say, me Sha think Kim is far from perfect personality

[quote author=AgentNairaland post=86324345][/quote]And you rest your case is your reply for accusing me of supporting the killings of christians

Them go accuse you self of worse things...


Karma is a real bitçt

AgentNairaland:
Joke!!! Are u not in supporting of it? Go back and read ur statements over and over again biko

Oga I have not posted any thing in support of killings and will never do that

Point it out here

AgentNairaland:
But you're supporting your Co slaves in islam from the statements

It seems you are taking this as a joke right, you came out to accuse me of supporting killings of Christians across the country

AgentNairaland:
Check urself biko

Funny how you won't point out where I supported killings of people

I hope you understand it's a serious allegation you laid against me and if this was not a faceless forum, I could be killed for such allegation even without confirming if I did so

Be guided with your words sir and careful what you say so you don't put others in trouble for what they know not of


Killing someone for no just reason is a very big offence punishable by law

Supporting the killings in itself is also punishable and I take what you said very seriously, don't child around it, you accused me to my face that I supported killings of Christians

Please point it out to me sir

I think I have to take what you said to higher because everyone that read your posts would have concluded I am Muslim and I am in support of the killings of Christians

AgentNairaland:
If you're better than I you won't support one bloody people killing his fellow mankind all because of religion and virgins in jannah..

You gat to check yourself, and if truly you're a Christian you won't be saying allah is the same Jehovah, Elohim, Omniscient and omnipotent the living God...Or tell me is there anyone that heard directly from allah? Or allah spoke to anyone from the Quran??

Note: We're not serving the same God ok

I'm still waiting for you to tell me where I supported the killings of Christians, I need to know so I CLD either apologize or know what to say for my crimes

oka4ugoo:
Nigeria in summary

It's not a pitiable offense that we voted this incompetent person to power ohh

We should all be locked in prison for allowing that mumu without certificate and capacity to lead actually become president

MasterKernel:
Give him Amnesty, straight.

He should be milked for information...

Amnesty ke... Amnesty kee his family members

Please can you point out to where exactly I supported the killings or where I insinuated support for the killijgs

[quote author=AgentNairaland post=86314765][/quote]Me being a slave is because I said we serve one God? Last I checked the God of Muslim is Allah whom I assume to be the Most high God, maybe their scripture is different from our that's why they do the things they do, but if Allah is not the Most High God, then it's my bad, I can't be versed in what I don't have interest in


I live my life on this very principle

If you love God then you would love your neighbor, not just your fellow Christian or fellow Muslim

If you say I'm Muslim for what I say, it changes nothing, even if I were one, it doesn't make you a better person than I am


I'm not versed in the exact people being killed in Nigeria but I know most are Christians, Google brings up mostly Christians being killed too, yes christians are being killed, but I think I remember one emir of gwazo in the north being killed

I was never interested in any post that says this and that are killed because my heart can't assimilate why someone should kill another person for no reason but then, someday that problem could become my problem too, knowing how many were killed would not keep me safer either

Attached is an article from the internet


It all boils down to tolerance of your fellow man, we are human first before we say we are Christians or Muslims or atheist or traditionalist

Peace to all men, but I no dey traditional worshippers Sha make them no turn me to kettle,

kettykings:
Please at what point did your own mumu end, the last time I checked the killing has been on before Nigeria's independence

The day I realized I should not vote for incompetent fellows to be leaders...

And I dint vote, maybe I rekindled my mumu by not voting

That means in the coming elections I must vote and pick who I measure to be a bit capable of steering our shop in a right direction

And again I accept I am a mumu but I should not die one

AgentNairaland:
Call a Spade a Spade and don't be bias, see how Christians were Slaughtered like fowl, tell me one of ur imam, Alfa, Sheikh, that got his head cut of for going against the belief of your brothers in Boko Haram, Iswap and fulani herdsmen?

Now you're calling me Muslim?

How'd know I'm a Muslim for crying out loud...


Oga I be confirmed Christian, baptised in the Catholic Church, first holy Communion in the Catholic church, I hate saying I'm Catholic because its seeming like in differentiating myslef from other churches, but it is what it is, the oldest and purest Christian denomination...


Internet is your friend, Muslims alike have been killed no bias

must we say he is Muslim or she is a Christian or they are Catholic, or he is cherubim and seraphim

We serve one God, I have never been a Muslim but I would not castigate them as all terrorists because doing so would mean any we should call all Christian girl prostitutes because most Christian girls now believe more in trading their bodies for cash

Many people say the Kardashian’s don’t add value bt u can’t hv increasing viewership over the years without adding value even if its comedy it depends on what u call value and what appeals to u. People watch wrestling bt I can’t, I only enjoyed it as a kid bt many adults still watch it.


As long as u don’t propagate negativity and ur interesting to people u don’t have a problem.

Nice one boss, nice one

Urchman200:
sorry I mistake to one of this irredeemable zombies on this forum, when they want to criticise they do it subtly,we all need to be ruthless when we are criticising this government they don't mean well.

Never been a zombie to nobody, never will...


Thanks for ur understanding and I understand ur stand, we need to Chase all these mumu out of power, maybe we haven't but it would get to us one-day and we would

Abaribe said it, they wanted to shut him down by saying he was uttering hate speech

The government hates us all thats why they keep embezzling and not doing the right things, it's time we put our hate for bad governance to good use


Today I like what adeboye did, if he does thrash tomorrow, he's also going to be considered an outcast, the future of our country is greater than any man's personal gains

Wiifesnatcher:
people say Nigerians are too timid to face their oppressor, little do they know is because we found route to an alternative to jaapa but along do we want to jaapa?


what about our old relative, if we aren't self center is either we demand for true federalism and egalitarianism that influence USA constitution that we copied their Democratic settings or we unanimously demand for dissolution of our Amalgamation.


leaving this country to keep asylum in washing old mama bumbum, washing corpses, cleaning eateries and roads and other stinky dirty things is just like postponing the day of total destruction to another time

They Don dey pursue us already, that way we go work on ourselves


I'm begging all Nations to Chase Nigerians from their country ohh make we no spoil am like we spoil our own

Person wey no take care of him own, no go take care of your own too,


Operation chase and ban Nigerians
I Know it's only a wish, but the ban part has started already

Fragility6:
No 'one day'again.They are already pushing us out
