Doing it the Nigerian way

BadBreathBoy:
This guy called bad breath have haunted me all the way from primary school down to secondary and even to my university level.

I am still a young 19 years old guy at the peak of youthfulness but this guy is just ruining everything for me.
My self-esteem, public speaking skills, social life, confidence, in fact, everything has been smashed with a sledgehammer right in my face.
I have turned into an introvert because of this bad sickness but will cover it up with "Money on my mind" shït.

I have tried everything possible guys.
Below are kinds of stuff that I have tried and it is not working.

1. Visiting a dentist.
6 months ago, I took all the money I had to go over to the dentist in search of a solution. Had to wait for hours before getting attended to.
When the doctor came in, she first started with some words of encouragement.

Telling me I might not have bad breath and all, people might be thinking they have it but don't blah blah blah.
(So me that have bad breath I don't know what I am saying right?)
After much talk, she recommended flossing and cleaning.
That exercise where water passing through a tiny hole at high speeds is used to remove plaque from in between your teeth.
I had to shell out a whopping 4k for that plus the extra card of 500.
All the money I saved was gone just like that.
It didn't work!!! Bad breath still held me down.

2. Brushing twice a day. I did this for 1 week straight up without any improvement relative to the hard work put in. So I became less consistent with this. Toothpaste I have tried includes, Oral B, MyMy, Maclean, Close up, name it. Didn't work.

3. Garlic and ginger. Some persons here on Nairaland recommend that ginger and garlic can be used to drive off bad breath. The prescription was to swallow it whole before going to bed at night then brush in the morning to remove the after-effects.
I tried this for one week. Didn't work.

4. Mouthwash: I have wasted more than 4k in buying mouthwash but these things are just 2 hours wonder from the moment of application.
I get fresh breath for the time being but after like 3 to 4 hours, the bad breath keeps on coming back. Still didn't work.

5. Hydrogen peroxide: Someone also recommended I use this to chase bad breath.
It also works for sometime after which bad breath comes back. I even tried to dilute less than normal for maximum effects but the only thing I got was an irritating burn on my tongue. I am so not using this guy again!

6. Walnut: Some said walnut could be my Savior so I had to buy them in large quantity to chew but it didn't have long-term effects.
So I ditched it. I don't have money to waste as I am still a student.

7. Chewing a combination of bitter leaf, scent leaf, and guava leaves: Out of intuition, I decided to try this combination. My common sense inferred that since it was bitter, it should probably have some effects on the bacteria in my mouth. But alas! Bad breath wasn't even impressed one bit. I even had to stuff them in my pocket and chew on them while going to class. This was a big flop.
Didn't work at all.

8. Agnes Nwamma Herbal powder: I don't know what to say about this one, because it was even better that I just didn't brush for that day. Very useless in fighting off bad breath.

The funny thing that leaves my jaw-dropping is that my dad doesn't even brush, he uses a chewing stick but still has a very fresh breath than I that used mouthwash, baking powder, toothpaste and still chew the chewing stick to top that.

9. Chewing gum like Clorets, Methos: I have to be frank about these gums, they kind of aggravates the bad breath. They are simply applying salt to injury so I just stopped using them altogether.

Pls Nairalanders, help me out here. There have been lots of people who found a solution to their problem on here, so I doubt mine will be different.
Pls, I need something else to try that will not dig a hole in my pocket as I am still trying to stand on my feet.
I need a permanent solution not 3 hours wonder.

Lala pls push to the front page so I can get a large set of solutions to fight this off.

I don't want to resume school like this.
I am tired, I am weak, disheveled, exhausted, dejected, depressed, anguished, melancholic, in fact, I have tayad like this.

My confidence and esteem have been crushed by bad breath. Shyness, inability to have streamlined chat with people, playing deaf and dumb, using hand signals whilst communicating, smiling like a peacock when my opinion is required, staying away from girls, snubbing people, rejecting positions that have me talk to a crowd has taken over!!

Pls, abeg, mbok, biko, I need a solution.
A permanent one at that.

This problem might have originated from your gut system. I see a lot of comments already but I don’t know if someone has been able to help. If not let me know by quoting me

Wickedfact:
Glorified ghetto, but your father can't afford a property in Ikoyi.

you are obviously a demented nitwit who has never experienced life outside Lagos/Ikoyi. Myopic minions like you are responsible for the setbacks in that contraption called Nigeria. Keep celebrating nonsense

Celebrating rubbish ... glorified ghetto

JAMO84:
Sowore is an enemy of progress. The prof has an impressive CV that many people can only dream of.

That was how they used their bad belle to run down Abba Kyari, the man is dead now but the misery of their lives keep pilling up every day.


If you wailers think you can kill this one like Abba Kyari, you are in for the shock of your lives.




I AM DONE TALKING

Really� Even as far back as 15 years ago So, Sowore saw Buhari appointing Ibrahim Gambari ?

With the appointment of the new chief of staff, Sowore updated his Facebook status with the following:

“I wrote this article in 2005 against Prof. IBRAHIM Gambari, Buhari’s newly minted Chief of Staff. This is one of the most “devious and dangerous” (apologies to Ayo Turton) public servants NIGERIA has ever had.”

Prof. Ibrahim Gambari and June 12: The “un-disgraced” collaborator
By Sowore Omoyele

If the Abacha repressive regime were a soccer team, Professor Ibrahim Gambari would be one of the “1st eleven players” or at least a quarter back on the reserve bench in the government squad. Though Abacha didn’t play soccer, he certainly sat on a killer squad that faced down members of the opposition-all lovers of democracy, and ordinary Nigerians in and out of Nigeria-while his bestial reign lasted, in addition to Abacha Professor Gambari has served almost all the dictators that has scorched the piece of earth known as Nigeria.

Professor Ibrahim Gambari, who some people claim is an intelligent man, used his ‘intelligence’ to defend the draconian policies of the Abacha regime while he was Nigeria’s Permanent Representative at the United Nations. He was one of Abacha’s equivalents of the “goebel” representing the infamous dictator with vigor and a propensity that could only be found in fascist Italy of old. He was once quoted as saying, “Nigerians don’t need democracy because democracy is not food. It is not their priority now.” As more pressure mounted on the Abacha regime from all corners of the world, Professor Gambari became more notorious and ruthless in defending and deflecting attacks against the Abacha dictatorship.
I remember his many appearances on cable news channels, especially after Abacha murdered environmentalist and author, Ken Saro-Wiwa following what can be described as a kangaroo trial. Professor Gambari stoically denied that the Abacha regime had committed a crime; he labeled Saro-Wiwa a “common criminal” who had engaged in the murder of some Ogoni elders. It was Gambari and Tom Ikimi who went all over the world to convince and blackmail governments of nations opposed to the killing of Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni 8. They tried in vain to convince the governments of some countries, but it was also clear that they might have succeeded in blackmailing some countries into silence or acquiescence. There are claims that Professor Ibrahim Gambari had access to the Nigerian treasury; he had limitless resources to do what ever he wanted in the name of protecting the Abacha regime, no wonder he was able to pay for the juicy properties sold by the Federal government in Ikoyi recntly.
After the demise of Abacha, his other co-dictators and collaborators were put in their place: Call it the Nigerian Hall of Shame. Professor Ibrahim Gambari has not been touched; he has not been called to account. Unlike the Usenis, Mustapha, and Gwarzo, he did not appear before the hapless “Oputa Panel” to explain his ignominious role. Instead he was elevated by Kofi Annan, the United Nations Secretary-General, to the position of Under-Secretary and Special Adviser on Africa at the UN. The reasons are not far-fetched. Kofi Annan wasn’t too keen on democratization efforts in Nigeria; he was already in cahoots with the Abacha regime through his son, Kodjo, who was involved in the oil business in Nigeria. Kodjo lives a life of opulence in Lagos. There had been rumors Gambari was the link between Abacha, Annan and their businesses.
Even after the death of Abacha, Kofi Annan’s visits to Nigeria were primarily to prevail on Chief M.K.O Abiola to forget about his June 12 mandate. He didn’t care about Abiola’s freedom so he quietly went to meet him in jail and asked him to ‘fuggetabutit.’ It is a known fact that Prof. Gambari had already briefed Annan adequately about the “real deal” and shortly after Kofi visited Abiola, Chief Anyaoku followed, then the Brits and then the Americans and the rest is now painful history.
It is intriguing that Professor Gambari has now become a darling of so many Nigerian organizations. Honors are pouring in from everywhere and he is getting awards and making speeches all over the place. Recently a group named “World Congress of Afenifere” invited people to come toNewark, New Jersey to listen to a Gambari lecture. I didn’t know what to think, except the reminder that even the leader of the Yoruba race, Chief Abraham Adesanya, was in the company of General Abubakar when he came to commission the now defunct “AbubakarA. Abdusalami Lecture Series” at the Chicago State University in 2001. For this program General Abubakar had committed a lot of money described by the Chicago State University President, Dr. Elnora Daniel as”largesse”, this he gave from his ill-gotten wealth. Shortly after the Chicago imbroglio, Dr. Conteh, who was the brain behind the lecture series was relieved of his plum job at CSU and the “Abubakar Lecture Series” died a natural death. I am proud to say I was there at CSU with Lanre Banjo, Pete Sophie, Kayode Oladele, members of Amnesty International, USA, and many more Nigerians from all over the United States to protest the “beautification” of Abubakar. In the milieu that ensued Abubakar was served a court summons that accused him of human rights violations, and ever since he has not been seen parading US universities in search of a dubious legacy and undeserved honors. The case against Gen. Abubakar has advanced tremendously at the U.S. Appeals Court, Circuit Seven. The court reached a decision on the case between Abubakar, Enahoro, and others (case #03-3089 on May 23, 2005). The 31-page decision of the appellate court presided by Justices Cudahy, Kannes, and Evans concluded that the Abubakar case should be referred to trial.
For Professor Ibrahim Gambari, he seems to have escaped justice both locally and internationally. He can always claim that he was just a diplomat doing his job. But, since the days of the Nuremberg trials such arguments no longer hold water.
Professor Gambari is getting bolder by the day, and as such on June 12, 2005, Professor Gambari, according to sources at the UN, is going to make a speech at a weeklong event tagged “Medgar Week” being organized by the Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, New York according to the . It is not clear why the college has not put the information on its website as at press time. They know all too well that Professor Gambari is to Nigerians here in the US, the equivalent of what David Duke (a white supremacist) would mean to African Americans.
It has become clear that the day, “June 12” has some sanctity to Nigerians everywhere in the world. I have no doubt that Medgar Wiley Evers a committed civil rights leader will be turning in his grave right now, certainly Abiola must be boiling with rage wherever he is and definitely the date “June 12” should never be the party day for shenanigans and collaborators.

You couldn’t have said it better. DECEPTION of the highest order!!!

Racoon:
This have always been the game plan.They initially groomed up this terrorists group for religious then later saw the potential to convert them for political purpose (Remember "Proscription of Ansaru/BH is unconstitu- tional"/"Buhari fault fight against BH" ? )Now, mission accomplished, the monsters they created refused to be tamed.

Hence they started advocating amnesty for killers/jihad soldiers, paying these murderers staggering ransom, fees
-ing them luxuriantly (more than troops fighting them), enrolled them for so called deradicalized programs and allegedly enrolled them back into the Nigerian military.The only good BH is a dead one.

This is exactly what has been happening in Nigeria, but so many who should be speaking are keeping quiet because it has not affected them directly. Imagine pastor Adeboye can’t condemn this evil government because his supposed son is the VP. What a shame!
Too many innocent blood shed in Nigeria, especially in the North. God will judge the jihadist president Buhari, so he doesn’t go unpunished for his heinous crime against humanity.

itu404:
Of Course, this has always been sowore gameplan to been seen and heard as a political prisoner, but when the chips are down you are just another nigerian politician. Don't trust him one bit.

Please stop being myopic! Do you know what it means to be incarcerated ? You should at least try to have a full grasp of the truth before castigating the guy. Except you’re one of the enemies of this country.

Civilization now completely murdered in Nigeria

There have been so much noise about Sowore being the one that brought Buhari upon Nigerians. Here is Sowore answering that question:>>>

The truth is that some “losers” are yet to heal and and are looking for whom to blame.
That shouldn’t be Sowore!

Watch and learn now:

Bolustical:
Nonsense. Drop what charges?

Kayode is only speaking for himself. Yele Sowore is his close friend, so I am not surprised.

Social media activists know how to protect themselves, Omojuwa, Kadaria, Deji have called for his release just because he is there friend.

Most of them went mute when Kanu was incarcerated.

Sowore started his music and dance to the tune.

Nigeria is greater than anyone.

MANNABBQGRILL spotted!

MondayOsunbor:
Clueless good luck what about buhari what is he

Buhari is worse of no doubt

Sowore ti take over.

Tomide007:
As at the time he said it, he was right.....we just elected a much worse dude

Very correct. Nigerians and short memory are 5&6. The evils of Buhari has made them forget Jonathan’s errors

Riversides2003:
Sowore should know that what goes around comes around. He should enjoy Buhari. If possible he should even go for a 3rd term so he can complete all his projects.He thinks Buhari is Jonathan abi. He caused most of the negative reports around Jonathan in the build up towards the 2015 election. They said Jonathan was weak, they should enjoy a stronger president in Buhari, Una never see anything, by the time Buhari is done with you guys Una go know say shoe get size.

This is a very poor way to reason. Only dumb people would think Sahara reporters were biased in ousting GEJ. The same Sahara reporters used their media outlet to ensure that GEJ came to power. You guys soon forget how useless/clueless Jona regime was, too bad. I supported GEJ second term bid (because I considered Buhari a bad option from APC) but that never happened. should we now blame Sowore for that ? No !
You should go and learn who Sowore is or what he stands for before misleading people
