You are even lucky you could open your eyes and move your hands. Sleep paralysis could be worse than what you described above. It is so close to death, you are totally helpless.

U see, my point here is dat thrs nothing like sleep paralysis.
That's d name d scientist called it.
But u see, d so called sleep paralysis is a glimpse of what happens when one dies.
Ur Spirit livs ur body. Whatever happens after then I can't tell.

But note that, during such time, ur spiritual eyes is open, u can see everywhere, but physically ur sleeping.

I once had dis experience in school. I was sleeping n I suddenly opened my eyes. Tried moving or talking but kudnt.

I was staring at d room but kudnt move. Usually when I experience dis, I observed it's a time when I'm afraid.

My friend woke up, flashed his phone light on my face n went back to sleep, I was staring at him but he saw me sleeping.

The next morning when I told him about it, he said he tot I was making love in the dream, so he flashed d phone to see if I was sleeping, when he checked saw I was sleeping, he then went back to sleep.

So I told him I actually saw him flash d fone, n every other things he did, he was just surprised.

I know for sure no matter how much scientists try to describe or provide info to this issue, I see them as trying to calm d fears of people, to make people see it as normal human experience. But truth is, there's something big, dats beyond dis physical world.

Any killing in d farm is always linked to fulani herdsmen.

Why is the government not doing anything to restrict this fulani herdsmen from trespassing ppl's land.

And y is it that there's always No trace or evidence that d fulani herdsmen are the killers. It's always a case of suspected or alleged.

Otherwise, y has no fulani herdsman bn arrested.

The news just fly in the media and ends in the media. No action. Except it is fabricated or the Govt is turning a deaf ear.

This was how boko started.

An2elect2:
Personal experience is the best teacher not scientific study.

That's d plain truth Bro...experience is what it takes for ones eyes to be open.

Sleep paralysis my foot.
This is how people die in their sleep and nobody could explain what happened except the dead who is already dead.
Scientist call it sleep paralysis, but what I experienced was not sleep paralysis.

This happened to me back in school. I had just visited my mum who was in the village mourning my dad to give her money for her upkeep.

My uncle started asking me personal questions acting all nice to me. Requested for my school address, I told him and then he said he always pass that route that he ll stop by whenever he's going thru d route.
I said no problem.

I left that same day back to school.
That night I prayed, kept my Bible just above my head close to my pillow b4 I slept.

Then next thing I cud remember was a man dragging my right hand and pulling me away from my body.

I was struggling with him but he seem very powerful and me, weak.
I look beside me, my friends were sleeping, I kudnt see d face of dis man, he was all dark, he wore a dark robe, d room itself was dark, but d moon light reflection frm d window was wat I was using. All dis happened very fast.

While he was pulling my right hand, I remembered my Bible, so I stretched my left hand, got hold of my Bible, then hit d man with d Bible, and immediately he left me, I returned back and woke up.

No matter what any scientist tell me today about that, I know what I experienced, and I know there's God and there's Satan.

Ur free to believe what u wish.

Did anyone get acknowledgement mail after applying?

OP, I think u need to see a psychiatrist. I think this is a psychological issue which u are experiencing. U are seeing things ur mind wants u to see. Am sure a lot of ppl saw d CNN debate, but no one saw or heard d audience coughing and choking just u.
And y wud d audience be coughing and choking but d debate continued without interruption. Surely they wud hv done something to help d audience cos of d distraction d noise might have caused.

The world is normal, but u are seeing things differently.

It's psychological, go check ursef b4 it goes worst.

I've always loved dis guy, No matter what. He's a good man.

smartmiss:
U will def b termed a graduate but b informed dat it isnt equivalent to B.sc gotten from state or fed unis. I'm guessing dey dnt do NYSC either. Most private companies n multinationals av der reservationz just d same way dey av reservations abt HND graduates. For example dey cant b employed as B.Sc holders r employed for entry level positions in banks buh only as contracts. Buh if dats d option u av den go for it cos ull still b a graduate n ull still get a job. I happen to have spoken to have spoken to a NOUN graduate dat eorks as a contract staff in a bank, dats ow i got to know

bandol:
Liar!!!!!!! we have thousands of graduates with 2-1 from federal universities who also work as contract staff in banks

Learn to read and understand b4 u comment...
He said NOUN graduates will only be considered for a contract position in a bank that requires Bsc for graduate trainee. Meaning, Bsc from NOUN is rated below BSC from other institutions.

You are simply going to write another test. D first one u did was CBT Computer Based Test, the next one is PBT Paper Based Test. So d same way u prepared for d CBT do same with d PBT.

mikolo80:
I am saying your getting annoyed will not solve the problem.

Obviously it is not my annoyance that will solve the problem, it is when each of us decides to do the right thing at the right time.

Imagine u see someone throwing stuff, n u correct dat person, the person in turn corrects another, wt tym we ll all develop that sense of belief, dat such behavior isn't right. That's d beginning of the solution.

mikolo80:
there is no such thing as common sense. what is common is what your society 'teacher ' you. does not fall from heaven.

So what ur saying in essence is dat, we shud continue in our usual behavior of dumping stuff on the road, since that's what the society tot us, ryt?

CCSNL salary No dey pass 40k.

Irrespective of the contract, weda it's worth billions, u can not get more than 40k as salary.

Meaning it kud b less but not more.

Like dey requested, inexperienced bla bla bla...pls don't complain after applying out of desperation o. Just learn what u need to learn, when contract expire move on.

But always bear in mind dat d contract will come to an end.

So even as u do dis job, don't stop applying for jobs.

Nice seeing Fashola again.

Murray Bruce looking innocent, don't be surprised his next tweet will b against Fashola and recent increment of light bill

paulGrundy:


We are basically saying the same thing na. I thought you were anti-blood transfusion.

I quote ur comments again;

paulGrundy:

That question should be posited to the society, they obviously are not following the bible because no such practice like blood transfusion exists when the bible was written.

paulGrundy:

The society doesn't think that way, refusing blood transfusion is not a choice its a MUST!!

Those comments don't sound like u support the idea do they?

I believe u were favored because u first gave with a pure heart, without expectations. So just to clear d air, not every giving is giving. So if u want to get this kind of favor, ur giving must b with pure heart.

paulGrundy:


You have not made any point!

Read again.

God will not do that which man can do.

If all u need to stay alive is blood transfusion, u don't need God to come down and donate blood for you when He has provided someone who has ur blood type and ready to donate to keep u alive.

If u say this has been on for 10yrs, then it is an internal issue, or a reaction to something u do regularly with ur hand, or a particular food u take that doesn't go well with ur body, hence the reaction.

You can read this, tho it's long but try;

Hand Eczema


What is hand eczema?
Hand eczema, or hand dermatitis, describes any type of eczema that develops on the hands. It is commonly job-related and can be made worse by factors including frequent hand washing and exposure to chemicals. Hand eczema may require specific testing and treatments.
It may cause itchy, dry, scaly patches of skin that crack and flake. This can occur acutely, but may also be a condition referred to as chronic hand eczema (CHE) or chronic hand dermatitis (CHD). Hand eczema, and CHE can profoundly affect everyday living and one's quality of life. Chronic hand eczema may not respond to traditional eczema management strategies such as frequent moisturizing, protecting the hands, and topical prescription treatments, and the appropriate treatment plan will depend on a number of factors.


Who does hand eczema affect?
Hand eczema occurs commonly among the following occupations:

bricklayers
mechanical industry workers
hair dressers
health care workers
janitors and housecleaners
florists
food service industry workers
agricultural workers
Hand eczema can happen to anyone, however, you are more likely to be affected if:

you had similar skin problems, eczema, hay fever, or other allergies as a child.
your hands get wet a lot, whether at home, work or with leisure activities.
your job exposes your hands to irritating chemicals or very frequent hand washing and disinfection.
you frequently wash your hands around the house or at work, which breaks down the skin's natural protective barrier.
What causes hand eczema?
Often, the cause is unclear; however, there can be one or more conditions present. The three most common conditions related to hand eczema are irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis.
Irritant Contact Dermatitis
The most common is Irritant Contact Dermatitis. Repeated exposure to irritants such as water, soaps, detergents, solvents, degreasers, lubricants, oils, coolants, fiberglass dust, food products, metals, and plastics can inhibit the repair of the skin barrier.
What are the signs and symptoms?

affects the fingertips and web spaces
skin is dry and chapped, with areas of itchy, red, scaly, and swollen skin
skin may sting or burn when in contact with irritants, and may eventually crack and bleed
Allergic Contact Dermatitis
The next most common is Allergic Contact Dermatitis. Common allergens include nickel, certain food additives and fragrances, and preservatives. Occupational allergens could include antibacterial soaps and solutions, organic dyes, rubber, plastic resins, and plants.
What are the signs and symptoms?

soon after exposure, small blisters may appear with itchy, swollen, red skin
later, the skin may dry out with crusts, scales, and cracks
prolonged exposure to the allergen can cause the skin to darken and it may become thick and leathery
it may appear all over the hands and fingers, particularly on the inside of the hands and finger tips
Atopic Dermatitis
Hand eczema can also be caused by Atopic Dermatitis, whereby skin in other areas of the body is affected.
What are the signs and symptoms?

intense itchiness
acute skin lesions
the condition is chronic
skin thickens
Speak with your doctor to get a diagnosis on your specific condition, and to talk about treatment options that are right for you.
How is Hand Eczema Diagnosed?
Without proper diagnosis and treatment, hand dermatitis can persist and become chronic. It can often become disabling because it affects one's ability to perform at work and home. Additionally, hand dermatitis may interfere with sleep, cause emotional discomfort, and negatively affect interpersonal interactions.
A thorough history and physical examination are essential in helping to deduce the possible cause(s) of hand dermatitis. Medical, occupational and social history are important. It is often challenging to distinguish irritant contact from allergic contact dermatitis.
Patch Testing
Patch testing should be considered for everyone with chronic hand dermatitis. The gold standard method for diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis is patch testing. This is an office procedure in which allergens are applied to the back.
Your doctor should strongly consider patch testing if:

you have chronic hand dermatitis
you are not able to manage your dermatitis
your dermatitis responds to treatment but flares immediately when you stop using your topical treatments
See your doctor!

The longer the condition goes undiagnosed and untreated, the more likely you are to suffer with chronic hand eczema.
Treatment Options
Self Care & Lifestyle Modification
Lifestyle modification and self care are the first lines of defence. This includes:
Moisturizing and Gentle Cleansing

Use hand cleansers and moisturizers that are free of irritating ingredients and fragrances (see our Seal of Acceptance products). Moisturizing regularly will help to replenish skin moisture, and will help you to keep your eczema under control.
Petrolatum is often the preferred moisturizer for hand eczema as it has few ingredients, and doesn't sting or irritate open areas. Petrolatum also holds in the skin's natural moisture and provides a protective barrier to keep irritants out.
Apply a rich moisturizer immediately after bathing, hand washing, and anytime in between. If your eczema has cleared up, and you are no longer using your prescription treatments, continue with a diligent moisturizing routine, which may help to prolong the period between flares./
Lifestyle Modifications

Where possible, avoid or minimize wet-work.
Avoid excessive sweating and dry conditions which are sometimes triggers.
Avoid scratching which worsens the condition and may cause cracks allowing bacteria to enter leading to infection. Sometimes applying cold compress to area reduces itch. Keep fingernails short.
Avoid the substance(s) causing the irritation or allergy. Avoiding all substances can be very difficult-if not impossible-especially if these substances are encountered at work. Using barrier cream, wearing gloves, and practicing glove hygiene is often helpful.
Minimize contact with fruit juices, fruits, vegetables, raw meat while preparing food, or wear gloves.
Protect hands by using cotton gloves as liner under vinyl gloves.
Shampoo and style hair while wearing vinyl gloves, if possible.
Take off rings before wet-work or hand washing.
Use emollients frequently to help restore normal skin barrier function. A thin smear of a thick barrier cream should be applied to all affected areas before work, and reapplied after washing and whenever the skin dries out.
Stress management-stress triggers flare-ups in many people so reducing stress may be beneficial.

Topical Therapy

To treat inflammation, topical corticosteroids are commonly used. Use only as needed — that is, when your eczema is actively flaring. Prolonged use can cause thinning of the skin. Fearing side effects, patients more commonly use too little rather than too much.
If your response is unexpectedly slow, discuss the possibility of corticosteroid allergy with your doctor. Pimecrolimus (Elidel ®) and tacrolimus (Protopic ®) may be helpful as an alternative to topical corticosteroids.

Phototherapy (Light Therapy)

Narrow-band UVB light and PUVA are helpful for their local immunomodulatory effect. Speak to your doctor about the possibility of Phototherapy as a treatment option. There are specific Phototherapy units that are used to treat the hands.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics are sometimes needed if infection develops, and most infections are caused by staph.

Oral Corticosteroids (Prednisone)

Oral corticosteroids may be effective in a short course for recurrent pomphylx and dyshidrotic hand dermatitis. Warning about serious side effects of prednisone must always be given.

Retinoids

Toctino® (alitretinoin) is a new oral retinoid. A once daily treatment, it is available for patients suffering from severe symptoms that never go away completely or keep coming back even after using potent topical steroids. Research has demonstrated significant clinical improvement in patients with chronic hand eczema, especially for the variant known as hyperkeratotic dermatitis. Side-effects include headache and flushing. Some patients are not suitable candidates for alitretinoin. Speak with your doctor about this treatment.


Strict pregnancy prevention is required 1 month before, during, and for 1 month after treatment with alitretinoin for women of child bearing potential due to the teratogenicity of the product (the product can cause birth defects). Never share your prescription of Toctino® and speak with your doctor about whether this treatment is right for you.

Visit www.toctino.ca for more information.

Can it be cured?

There is no cure for hand eczema, but you can work toward management. Speak with your doctor about finding a treatment plan that is right for you.

This shud help my Fat Friend, who's now sleeping in the room alone cos of snoring

banmee:


You have a better chance of gummy bears falling from the sky than for Nigerians to be waste conscious. Nigerians are naturally dirty people and Nigeria as a county is among the dirtiest in the world.

We can change for the better.

oodua1stson:
while I understand you. But if I pay tax and I did not see it put to any meaningful use than stealing I would sh1t on the road sef if I vex lol

Na who u do, government or ursef?

mikolo80:
were dustbins provided
were they taught to not throw trash.
they can't have what they weren't given .
good behaviour doesn't fall from the sky.

Good behavior doesn't fall from the sky but common sense does. With common sense u don't need a teacher.

ceeceeuwa:

I am with you on this 100%

sinola:


truth be told,if there is no waste out there,those elderly women you referred to will not have any job to do.
I am not supporting the act but there is no perfect system anywhere in the world.

U r not supporting the act but ur comment says otherwise.

And what makes you thing there will be no cleaning job if ppl stop this act.

The fact thrs no perfect system, does not mean we shud deliberately destroy ours.

paulGrundy:


That question should be posited to the society, they obviously are not following the bible because no such practice like blood transfusion exists when the bible was written.

So because it doesn't exist then does dat make it bad, or was it written in d Bible that it's bad, or u guys decided to label it bad on ur own.

Y u using ur phone, Y u using d Internet since it was never in use when the Bible was written.

U guys shud learn to save lives where human effort is required.

God will not do that which man can do, but that which is beyond man.

Take note!

Hello Nairalanders.

Something happened today on my way from the office that really got me sad with the way some of us consciously loiter our environment without thinking twice.

Everyday we see the Lagos State cleaners doing their routine cleaning but by close of business the whole place is messed up.

This goes to show that, despite government playing their part in keeping the environment clean, a lot of us don't support the government, we probably do so in our words but not in action.

On my way from the office today, I was inside Marwa wt dis lady who was eating whatever, but as soon as she's done, she threw the nylon on the road. I had to caution her, that it would have been better she threw it inside the Marwa or better still keep it, when she sees a waste been, throw it there, rather than on the road.

This behavior, I've come across so many times, and on each occasion I had to correct whoever is involved.

This is really not nice, especially considering the elderly women doing the cleaning on the road. After all the wahala with peanut salary, we still go ahead to loiter the place like babies that needs to be corrected.

Let our conscience judge us in whatever we do. Let's have it in mind that government's effort in making the state conducive and clean for us, will continue to be just an effort if we don't support them in our own little way.

Let us also ensure we correct if not embarrass whoever we see loitering the environment, especially those who throw things from the vehicle.

Government should also make it a law prohibiting such behavior.

Stay Clean!

So Bubu administration don turn to kalo kalo (gamble) now abi? SMH

Thank GOD you know what you are

U ll agree wt me dat d Nigeria we find ourselves is one dat requires a president dat has full control n knows what he wants not easily influenced by road side interest, certain decisions hv to be made. Sometimes it works some other tyms it doesn't. But we've got to try something.

D argument of those ministers for me, is baseless. I see them as ppl scared to take risk.

The reason I pointed out GEJ is d fact dat he was d good guy president dat did d bidding of his cabinet, hence, everyone of his crew were OK with him.

Buhari is a different ball game...like I said, if e work fine, if e No work, we move on n try something else. But we've got to start something.

The same way GEJ listened to his cabinet dat turned d country upside down. Buhari abeg continue we are watching. If E work fine, if e No work, we move on.
