*wasn't easy*

I personally don't see a big deal about it.the first girlfriend I had was in secondary school,I was 2 classes ahead and thot of her as a school daughter..until the day she told me she loved me that is!!omo,see as I shock.sadly,I was about leaving school then,so it was easy for us to date(late 90's,no gsm).it lasted 2yrs and we broke up.she's married with a kid now and to date,she's still the standard I hold others to.
My point is,if u like someone,let him know.if he thinks of u as a slut/cheap,my dear,it's his loss..believe me,life's too short to have "what if's".I know that for a fact.

This is just sick!!!there's no justifiable reason for this honour..countless sportmen and women have done way past what mikel did for chelsea and with patriotism too,yet nothing was done to honour them.I was praying that chelsea would win just so I'd see mikel wrap the Nigerian flag round his shoulders,proclaiming to the world that he's a Nigerian.That's the kind of positive message the world needed to know about Nigeria.Millions of dollars in adverts couldn't have achieved what mikel would have done for the image of the country.But no,not mikel.it's his choice quite alright to do so or not and he chose not too.Mikel has no patriotic bone in his body and as such,it's my humble submission that he is not deserving of this honour..anyways,like someone rightly said;God,what have we done to deserve leaders like this?

Ma'am,let me correct this misconception u and lots of people seem to have..the test kit I'm talking about uses a lancet to pierce the thumb.it's just like using a needle to pr.ick ur hand only that it's sharper.Using a syringe to draw blood requires u tying a tourniquet around the forearm and obviously,someone who's asleep would wake up.I'm sure if u google it up,it will be explained better.
My grouse with her doing it is that it's a matter of trust..I trust u enough to sleep next to you at night knowing that u could wake up and kill me..if I don't wanna do the test,u should try to make me see reason and not betray the trust I have in you.if your girlfriend can do that to you whilst asleep,I fear to think what she'll do if we break up..remember"all hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" to paraphrase congreaves.

Beync: this kind of sleep that one could piersed his body with syringe and he couldnt feel anything na lie be that.

U can sue me for all i care, i dont blame her. why should we be in relationship and u wouldnt accept ur responsibility?
she deserve to know his hiv status becos her life in involve. may be the boy is playing and not sure of himself.

Pls shut d Bleep up!!!do me a favor and go get d HIV test kit and do the test on urself.u don't use a punch syringe or whatever,a lancet is supplied with it and that's what u use to pri.ck ur thumb..u can be asleep and ur thumb will be pierced without u waking up if u are a deep sleeper.I said I'm not but I know lots of people who are.I won't bother to reply your other comments..go do as you are told and report back.

edetty: @op,tanx God u did defend ur initial lies wel,cos am a 4th year medical student,u had 1st sed one can use a punch syringe on a person witout notice,dats a blantant lie,cos its as sharp as a mere pinch wit d fingers,2ndly wen oda posters suggested d saliva test,dats wen u realised 2 mention d actual test,dnt knw wat u practice dat ur memory skips diz much,as 4 d test itseft,its an offence,cos even in clinics u dnt carry out certain treatments or surgical operations if d patient doesnt consent 2 it,by a formal signed agreement,its againt d medical practice act,...dats al i hav 2 say

Is this supposed to be sarcastic?what point are u trying to make with this comment?

ms pookie: i guess u think HIV test is done with spermm and not blood...

I wasn't aware u could use saliva as a sample..thanks,will check it out.but I'm pretty sure it won't be available in Nigeria now..Also,whilst it's true that taking a sample without consent is battery,how many people would be prepared to go the court to seek redress?like I said before,that's the end of the relationship for me(except she's dangote's daughter sha)

@gree-die,d guy refused for the same reason the average nigerian would give u,which is fear..I can understand because I was also petrified when I did mine.I bought the kit and tested myself in my kitchen..believe me,those few minutes bwfore the result was hell.

@peeps calling me liar;if u don't know abput an issue,just say so..u shouldn't open ur mouth and talk stupidly about something u don't know about..besides,google is your friend..anyways,it's obvious u haven't done the HIV test before..only about 2 or 3 drops of blood is needed and a pr.ick of the needle will do.the guy was obviously sound asleep.personally,I wake up if I hear the slightest sound not to talk of a touch..
Now that I've added to your knowledge,please answer the question(s)

I was talking to my friend(we are both doctors) and the subject of HIV and testing came up.She then told me that she once bought a test kit and used it on her boyfriend whilst he was asleep..her reason?he had refused to go test with her.She then left the kit by the bed and when the guy woke up,he was livid..He was negative tho.I couldn't speak for 3mins after she told me this!!!I swear,if it were me,dat's the end of the relationship..Good for then,they are still together.
I just want to know your view about this;was my friend right?would u have done the same or not?

E nor go beta for Mancini..wetin Balotelli dey do for bench??

She's been released..thank God for His mercies

Honestly,a lot of ppl here are not objective and calling them names would only drag me down to their level.Lagos state uses their doctors like slaves and don't pay shit.as a medical student on a month's attachment to in x,I assisted 10 surgeries.I was a student,nt a yet doctor.the workload is just too much and d tax is the highest in the land.A pharmacy sales rep with GSK collects the equivalent of what a senior registar takes home + car and benefits.Truth is,doctors in Nigeria are poorly paid and yet,the society thinks we earn millions.Fashola sacked over a 1000 doctors and some of you here are jumping up for joy,forgetting that if he should fall sick now,he'll be flown to Isreal just like david mark.
state NMA may go on strike because a consultant in was kidnapped and a ransom of 100million is being asked for.is already on strike.Tell your governments to do the right thing and escalate the situation by spreading lies..

I'm in x..just today,a woman came in with a 5month old baby that needs emergency surgery.child's beem sick for the past 5days.she had only 4thousand naira on her and admission alone is 2000n.I and some colleagues had to go round d hospital begging,even patients contributed..at the end of the day,we barely raised 8k.we are still looking for blood donor.Hospital management has waived some fees,hopefully surgery will be done this evening..I'm sure her bills at the end of her stay can't be up to 100k,yet one bastard in power will be looting billions and travelling to Isreal when sick..I pray he and others like him die abroad.Maybe when that starts happening or they start dying on that Lagos-Ibadan expressway like Nigerians do daily,a change will happen..maybe

It all depends..going by all d analysis above and the achievements they had considering the situation(s),I'll pick yekini first.Any other four can follow..but speaking with my heart,I'll pick okocha..he may not have won lots of laurels but he surely won our hearts...
@wirinet,great analysis

What a terrible waste of an innocent life..if justice is not done here(due to insanity plea)it will be done in the afterlife..Rest in peace.
@oga ganys,I feel ur pain but the truth is,if the likes of osama,boko haram,al queda killed people on a neutral level,they would be labelled as the murderers that they are,just like this fellow..but they kill under the guise of Islam,and so,they are labelled the terrorists they are..people commit crimes everyday but not in the name of one religion or the other..the wars u mentioned were fought by and against countries,mostly for economic reasons and not religion..so,until muslims get their act together and fish out the bad eggs,Islam will continue to have a bad ring to it..

Nice one seun..btw,if and when u eventually decide to make changes to nairaland,look through the comments above.I'm sure u'll see some good suggestions..

I bought sunday Guardian religiously for 3yrs..loved Abati,Olumense and The girl whisperer's columns..I stopped buying it the moment Abati became Gej's stooge.I just couldn't reconcile d Rueben that I loved to the same one who took up that post..Obviously,he had an agenda with all the articles he was writing.Newspaper has lost its appeal for me nw.

That's just crap!!there's nothing like "undetectable" HIV strain.if the common kits can't pick it up,say the virus is in the window period,it can still be detected using polymerase chain reaction(pcr) or ELISA tests which tests the human dna directly, white people just like to feel smug and superior, The only reason why u can't donate blood if u come from West Africa in my opinion is because of the fear that u may be carrying malaria parasite in your blood, that's all

Kuulmonsy,thanks for obliging a fool, going by ur premise,I wonder what that makes u.Anyways,like I said,feel free.

Coming to nairaland always leaves a sour taste in my mouth, we are too tribalist in our thinking and replies, it's just sad cos we are the so-called "educated ones",(at least,u can be online and type) and yet,we spew trash online, how do we expect the man on the street to reason if we can reason like this.Nobody bothered to answer the op's questions,or even talk about the issues raised,well maybe marlboro attempted to sha.it's a shame.wondering if d responses would hv been d same if d op were Igbo?
Anyways,@op,I dunno where u are but I can assure u that Nigeria is nt coming to a standstill cos of the late ikemba, maybe the East,but def nt d whole 9ja.He has paid his dues nd so,should be accorded his due respect, I can't comment on the governors ish, I don't knw abt that,
P.s,I knw some peeps will want to take shots at me,pls feel free.

Oga seun ow far na?my last line reads;, this heediot's policy, No change am again o

Mr Akwasi,just in case u don't know,Nigerians esp yoruba are very respectful, that's d way our culture is and so,for them to be so united in their hatred/abuse of Gej,it shows something has gone terribly wrong, That being said,I believe that despite the fact this policy bites us very hard,it would hv been easier to bear only if Gej led by example and cut his spending/feeding and also,that of the legislators, Also,he lied blatantly to us about the date of implementation of this policy.U can't have respect for a leader like that.Don't get me started on Boko haram and other issues that he ignored,only to now be flexing muscle on fuel subsidy, Btw,those of us that voted Buhari can't even gloat because this idiot's policies affects us all, My 2 cents

A man can only do so much, Gen Buhari,u have tried and I'll forever be glad I voted for u.Sadly,majority of Nigerians wanted Gej,not 'cos of his trackrecord,but cos of his name.Now,we are stuck with a mediocre weakling and we keep disturbing God to save us from his policies or lack of it.We had a God-given chance in April,yet we squandered it, We've laid our bed,it's time to lie on it,

200mb is actually wack but some of us don't hv a choice, switched to glo BIS,enjoyed it for a month and when I renewed,glo deducted my money,yet for more than 13days,I couldn't utilise BIS service despite having EDGE in upper case.I called 333 so tey,I sabi all their customer care operators.Had to go back to mtn eventually.Glo should hv anticipated a mass exodus from mtn and upgraded their service accordingly, I knw I'll regret this mtn data restriction, nwys,eitherways,I was bleeped.

I swear in April,peeps called me retarded,insulted my parents on this Gej issue.All because I voted and stuck by Buhari.Gej has been in office for over 100days now and everyone's eyes hv cleared.I wish I could say "I told u so" to dem peeps but the sad truth is that Nigeria belongs to us all and if it fails,it affects us all.So sad

The honest truth is that most of the people that voted for Gej did it based on tribalism and not competence.U can deny it till Jesus comes but ur conscience and posterity will judge.Buhari has his faults,true,but he was the best of the 3 candidates.Gej has been in power since '99 or '03,yet no meaningful achievement.Buhari came to power b4 I was born,yet his achievements still stand.22million Nigerians voted Gej.They cannot possibly be wrong, Posterity and our generations unborn will judge what we did in April,just as we are doing for our fathers generation.I wish Gej d best and I really hope he succeeds cos I love my country to death and I live here,but going by his actions or rather inactions,I seriously doubt it,

We have to criticise Gej and hope that he'll listen to our cry and finally act like a president should.I voted for Buhari and I'm glad I did.Still,I'd be ok with Gej if he did just a tenth of what he promised to do,but going by his utterances and actions,that doesn't seem likely.In 2007,Fashola became Lagos state gov even though lots of people thought he was Tinubu's stooge and they wanted Agbaje.Yet,the man worked so hard in his first term that Lagosians forgot who Agbaje was.The rest is history now.Granted,maybe God put Gej there(voice of the people and all) but he will not be forgiven if he blows this chance to make the lives of ordinary Nigerians better.Nobody said the job would be easy and he knew this before applying for the post.So,he should stop whining and buckle up.Nigeria needs a change and it can start with him.

*not my grouse*.

Thank You coogar.I so hate it when gehs say;u took advantage of me!!like I was d only one enjoying d thing.nwys,dat's my grouse now.Btw,I'm nt managing.this has nothing to do with d monetary value of d necklace.I jst wanted to get pple's view on d matter,
