A non-governmental organisation, Hopelite Sickle Cell Foundation has successfully held its 2022 get-together for persons living with sickle cell tagged "The Warriors Hangout".
The event took place at Indigo restaurant Abuja in collaboration with Film Avenue, Bkeo Foundation, Amstel Ultra and Indigo.
The founder of the foundation, Anna Ochigbo said the aim is to bring persons living with the condition to come together, have fun, laugh and network.
According to her, she seeks to create a sickle cell community to give them hope and mobilise support for them.
She expressed regret that people living with sickle cell have not been given adequate care in the society even as they continue to face discrimination in the society.
While expressing gratitude with the number of participants that came out for the hangout, Ms Anna Ochigbo said members of the community held a far-reaching discussion that will further help in bringing succour to them.
About 97 sickle cell warriors were in attendance in addition to sickle cell volunteers and advocates.
They wielded placards with inscriptions such as "Stop stigmatisation and discrimination towards sickle cell warriors", "Sickle cell warriors deserve public health insurance" and more.
There was so much fun time, entertainment, refreshments and exchange of gifts items.
One of the sickle cell warriors, John Ekeneme expressed delight with the opportunity to come and network and have fun with fellow warriors, saying more opportunities like this will go a long way in supporting them.
Anna Ochigbo said subsequent editions of the hangout will have a larger pool of participants from across various sectors in the Nigerian society.

It is with this as proof you can cry it is finished For certainly it’s written whatever these men back will surely result in premium tears saith the lord of host
Romans 6:16 [16]Surely you know that when you surrender yourselves as slaves to obey someone, you are in fact the slaves of the master you obey — either of sin, which results in death, or of obedience, which results in being put right with God.
That is testimony of whoever engaged in masturbation . It enslaves you , frustrates your progress Makes you stagnant in life .
But beyond what you go through while you practice masturbation ,there is another battle to fight AFTER getting delivered from masturbation . It is called " WET DREAMS "
you sleep and then see yourself having sex. Or you get pressed down by a force while sleeping . ( some call this : SLEEP PARALYSIS ) or sometimes you don't experience any of these two but the end result of those experiences most time is that you wake up to find out you've ejaculated .
And frustration sets in .
What kind of thing is this for God's sake ! I have left masturbating for good , then how come this is happening to me again ? Then you pray about it and even fasted , And then during the night of the very day you fasted and prayed heavily , The thing repeats itself .
You then went on a dry fast for three to seven days . And on the day you ended the fast , You ended it with WET DREAM - a terrible one .
You spoke to people and searches for advice , applied them ,and the thing stopped ; Only to happen suddenly again when you least expect .
Ho God ! I'm done !
To be continued .
If you take 3 capfuls of raw codeine Followed with 1 bottle of water tell me as you wan take get wet dreams Mek una no too bother Jesus so he fit get time handle BAT abegg
Blessedmercy8: I've been under a few other men of God but none stood out for me like pastor Adeboye. As in the power of God I've experienced from him, his humility and genuine walk and spiritual exercises just makes him outstanding among his fellow GOs.
Yesterdays holy ghost service was one of a kind. The power of God truly came down and I felt it. When he was doing the 360 turn, the power of God was just moving so heavily I felt I was going to throw up my spirit from within me. My spirit was literally trying to jump out of my body. Hmmm.... God is truly with Adeboye..
May God keep him for us. Amen.
I am blessed.

ahnie: I have this beautiful chubby neighbor that's from my husband extraction (Igbo) Babe is hard working, business oriented and an avid hustler.
But she's dating a chubby fuvk boy,a failed yahoo lazy lout that even in the next 50yrs I do not see him ever picking.
He's killing and bringing down my neighbors business and sucking her dry and she doesn't seemed to noticed.
She's always crying of bn broke everytime....and it's damn pissing me off like fvck.
On his birthday she baked cakes for him,printed his name on mugs, towels, got him clothes and even travelled to visit him,left her business and stayed days with him before coming back.
It's irking me because he's a bad market and to me he doesn't have a bright future,he's not working,he has no handiwork and no skills He's just a rotund whale sucking her youthfulness and finances.
Let's assume he has a skill or he's learning a trade it's another thing, at least we would all assume that he's productive and her supporting him wouldn't be futile,but this one.... nothing nothing.
On her birthday he didn't even posted her pictures or got her a pin,he said he doesn't have data...just negodu the nonsense and he still demanded money from her....to me the guy is just miserably useless.
He's now proposing marriage to her,and he visited her some days ago na she use her money run everything from feeding down to blood test.
I have not met him before,but immediately I saw him....my spirit no conform with his at all...he's not only a liability,but also a robust reaper.
Now my neighbor is asking me what I think of him.....I told her outrightly that I don't like him,that he's going to be a liability to her in the future....person nor fit take care of her as girlfriend,how e go take care of her as wife.....I m one hundred percent sure,she's the one that's going to pay her prideprice, pay for the wedding and feed herself.
She's trying to convince me to like him....but this isoko woman ain't capping that shiit.
I just detest fvck lazy boiz.
Na only God Dey determine when person beans go done
Wittyglam: I saw this thing and I was shocked. When you’re dating staying faithful is a must. This is not nice and I’m not here to Shame any gender. Greed is damaging a lot of relationships and social media also has a major role to play.

co787: My wife and daughter traveled to her village in August for 3weeks and they were supposed to be back before the school resumption but she changed her mind saying her mother was seriously ill that she has to extend her stay which was fine by me and when they returned back I noticed that she has lost so much weight which I asked her why she said it was due to the stress of caring for her sick mother which is normal.
She is her only daughter and oldest of 4 her younger ones are boys so they cannot take care of their mother better than her. Here is the reason I got her arrested, during her stay in the village, her 14 years old brother raped my daughter. This is one of the reason she overstayed in the village. She didn't tell me anything about my daughter being raped she and her mother had decided to give her treatment and cover the idiot that repeatedly raped her and when she came bck she didn't say anything to me but she confided in her prophetess which in her turn has started spreading news until it came to my ears that my own daughter was raped and her own mother has kept quiet and I can imagine if it was a member of my family that did the abominable acts the whole world would have heard it and she would have done everything in her power to put in prison.
But because it is her own brother, she has decided to keep quiet and not knowing the world is small and not secret is hidden forever. I took my daughter to the hospital the result has confirmed she was tampered i was devasted she has been the best wife to me and she has helped me and my sisters to reconciled in the past but what she has done to me it is unforgivable and I have arrested her and when I bail her I will divorce her and take custody of my daughter.
I don't know if I need advice or not but your input and suggestion are welcome I will be reading all your comments.
Whoever pushed this to FP ain’t doing IQ a favor, this OP says he needs no one’s ideas, why then shove it to FP for us to see
I wonder why this Peter Obi is overrated; he ain’t as intelligent as he’s portrayed to be; Na Kwankwaso be the main brain among these aspirants, others are just over-hyped
God will punish APC sha, Nigerians can’t even buy 200naira stick of suya again. Now they rely on left over diced meat to make tinko-looking stick meat.

If you are destined to collect slap in Kogi state. and your flight is on its destination to Abuja. Enroute abuja, when you reach Kogi. You will jump down anyway and anyhow so as to collect that slap. It was destined.
A man who is destined to Embarass himself will always find a way to collect the embarrassment. Even if it is by going from one place to another wey dem no invite am.
Reality check: If you watch the video, they all laughed at Obi after Apkororo said those words not jokingly but seriously. This is awakening to reality i am always talking about that has started manifesting.
No Christian vote anywhere to depend on. The true Christian believers believe the only way out of this current Nigeria situtation is to vote a competent man like Asiwaju , a proven candidate. Not depending on trial and error like Obi, who is not practical about even the quotes and figures he is dishing around. A man without manifesto. Someone that cant even honour his Political engagement and rallies. Skipping it like a spoilt brat missing lectures.
Nigeria are wiser now. It is no more that country where you can use religious partioning and division to attain an unrealistic political ambition. Apkororo is from south-south i guess and also a Christian. I spoke to my Ijaw friends yesterday, they said same thing. That the whole south-south rural areas are tilting to the tent of Tinubu. Even some south-south nairalanders are confirming it here themselves.
With the rate this is going and turning out. Peter obi will not even win a single state in South-EasT, the only hope left for him too now, is shaky.
Omo I Dey cringe from dis kinda people No wonder President, Association of Psychiatrists in Nigeria (APN), Dr. Taiwo Obindo, said that more than 60 million Nigerians are suffering from mental illnesses

Familyplug: A 50-YEAR-OLD NIGERIAN WOMAN SHARES HER REGRETS ABOUT HER PARENTS SENDING HER ABROAD TO SCHOOL AS A TEENAGER.
I came to the UK in the 80s and went to Skinners school for girls in Stamford hill where I failed woefully. I come from a family where going abroad was like going to the market for us. I lived with my sister-in-law who I happened to have appeared to as a burden at the time. I had no one to take me out as a child, didn't enjoy McDonald's treats. I remember being bought KFC once by my mother's younger sister who was in the UK at the time. Most days I had to walk from Pembury estate, Hackney to Stamford hill because I had no transport fee. An uncle got me free school meals from the government so I always had lunch at school but other meals were not guaranteed...
No one ever asked me how I was doing in school even though I was a failure, never disclosed my report sheet because my results were always 'U- Unclassified' worse than F9. I lived at the expense of a few of my brother's friends who were ready to give me £5 in exchange for me seating on their laps whilst they used my nipples as a toy. On a few occasions, my immediate family would give me £5, £10 but NONE EVER TOOK ME ON AS HIS OR HER RESPONSIBILITY. One glorious day, a brother of mine took me on when he noticed that I have been associating with friends that were smoking and sexing at the age of 12 but due to malicious beating every day I had no choice other than to run away from his house. ....
I became streetwise, smoking heavily at the age of 11/12, and did my first abortion at the age of 14/15. I was unable to contact my mother because I had no access to the telephone moreover I didn't know how to use the phones then. I lived with a Jamaican friend who was a few years older than me and we had a man friend aged 50t who was impotent but would pay our rent whenever we allowed him to lick/suck us. Hhhhmmmm I'm sobbing as I'm writing this; I don't know why my spirit has led me to share this horrific and pathetic story but I am sure it is to bless someone out there so I am not ashamed of letting it out because someone outthere will think twice before making the mistake my family made.
I and friends began to find it easy to befriend men for money at night clubs (Gullivers, Petter Stringfellows, etc) at a very young age which I found disgusting, they molested my body orally. I can't even carry on expressing my bitter past experiences because I have learnt to see them as the strengths that made me who I am today...
The Koko of this post is this... Now in the UK, we see Nigerian children killing, shooting, stabbing, selling drugs, raping, etc and we wonder why they are ridiculing our darling country's name... Hhhhmmmm it is not the kids' fault it is the fault of the parents that weren't ready to prioritize their priorities.
I can't blame my mother and neither can I blame my father because they thought sending me abroad to school was the best for me. They also trusted my siblings and didn’t like to get involved in the way they were raising us. They believed when you give a goat to someone, you let go of the rope. They didn't know their darling daughter had become something else.....
You may be boosting that your child lives in London, America, etc but do you ever ask yourself how life is treating them where they are??
So many parents in Nigeria believe the field is greener on the other side forgetting that NO ONE CAN TRAIN YOUR KIDS THE WAY YOU CAN EXCEPT LOVING & GOD-FEARING PEOPLE.
In the UK so many Nigerian parents have misplaced their priorities, they rather work 24/7 and make all their monies to build mansions in Nigeria at the expense of their children's lives.
So many Nigerian parents in the UK don't even attend parents' evenings at their kid's school, some can't even help their kids with homework. Some believe their kids are at home and they are safe not knowing who is there with them. Some would rather spoil their kids with money & expensive outfits instead of investing quality time in them.
Sending your kids abroad to be looked after by someone else is a pure waste of time and bringing your kids from 9ja without giving them all the time needed is an irresponsible move and to be working all God-sent hours, making sterling, dollars, and euros, naira, etc without spending quality time with your kids is a disgrace to parenthood.
This is one of our bad irresponsible cultures even back home ….most children in Nigeria were brought up by housemaids/gatemen/next door/grandmothers/neighbors etc. Some Nigerians don't believe in family planning rather they will have so many children and start using them to hawk sweets, bread, etc after school...
Having a child is not by force, God did not say YOU MUST HAVE CHILDREN, YES HE STATED 'MULTIPLY' but he didn't mean we should do it to suffer for them. Having children does not mean you will live your life joyfully and it doesn't give you a place in heaven either, instead, your children may make you miss heaven if care is not taken.
I am a product of a neglected, nonchalant, cultural upbringing and I WILL NEVER WISH IT ON MY GREATEST ENEMY BECAUSE I HAD IT ROUGH AND IN SADNESS.
Let us stop being selfish and stop pushing our problems/burdens on others. Your child should be with you no matter how poor or rich you are and you must teach them in the ways of God.
Some parents in Nigeria, have children in Diaspora and know nothing about their life , only the fact that their child is abroad.
Blames come as a result of accepted failures; The japa chance you were given was like an egg, but in your case you choose to smash the egg on the wall now you’re diluting others mind Dear parents, the best thing you can do for your child is giving them citizenship in away land You see this Nigeria, it’s the true bottomless pit the Bible was busy describing
@OP if you know the nature of shege & hardship we’ve seen to get to our different positions, you wouldn’t be typing about McDonalds , I think nairaland should fire all their mods and elect a new set, afterall it’s the elections season
dalass: Believe me, their gold digging reach court even if it's only dating oh. And court will still make you pay.
No lady in Naija can force a man to pay shishi, you're exaggerating. College tuition!, rent? You described Simps
South African ladies love Nigerian guys because they are big spenders on them. Let's just say most Nigerian guys are sex crazy and can spend anything for the coochie.
Omo eh, this ain’t true, most black guys bleep up that’s why they end up in court As for naija gals, masters in securing the bag em like bandits, everywhere they’re, their business is collecting ransom, they are bag oriented
Nah only Oyibo girl go get this kind mind give man a treat. Nigerian girl only know how to give threats, if you don't do this or do that I will leave you and you will thinking that she's going to enter a better relationship only to go there and continue giving threats, and the end of the day the only thing they achieve is multiple body count.
Omo swears if I had magical powers I’d make you supreme leader of this country, you are a very wise fellow
Nairaland mods should try to be sensitive about the kind of threads they quickly push to FP whatever the gains are We all have seen an abuse of power, then why push a senseless fact-checking, this is like a back up info, more useless fact-checking is making here boring
