cococandy: So she was raped by two different men? So we should exonerate the baba ijesha? All it shows is that the average Nigerian girl is not safe around adult men in her society. That’s something all of you should be ashamed of instead of trying to use it as a talking point
UDUJ: I am not contesting your statement because I know you are a medical doctor, but I hope you know genital warts can also be gotten or spread by skin-to-skin contact with someone who has the HPV on their body (example by hugs or handshakes)? Just putting it out there.
Yes i know. I am also not contesting your statement, but I hope you also know that it can spread through vaginal, oral and anal sex which is more likely in a married couple.
My girlfriend/fiancee mom fell very ill and her younger sister called me on my way home from a business meeting to inform me, I guess she couldn't reach her sister maybe because she was not picking. My girlfriend stays with me during the weekends...So i got back home,entered the house,saw my girlfriend watching those soap opera like telemundo things as usual...I quickly told her Please get ready we are going to see mom she is very sick, make a list of things we need to get for her so we can buy on our way there...her mom stay in the same state with us.
Guess what?! To my surprise my girl said no need to spend money times are hard, we should just get lucozade boost and paracetamol. I said Ok.
So reaching close to her house area,she got a little confuse and asked this is not the way to your moms house na....I told her it is your mom that is very sick...She started sweating profusely and immediately said what we bought is not Ok o...let us go back and get other things and take her mom to the hospital this and that...she was just vibrating in the car.
She shouldn't blame the hospital but blame a nigerian Health system designed to fail your friend and many innocent nigerians.
From the story, I don't see any issue of negligence here. Just a government that failed it's citizens.
While i sympathize with the poster, she is using the time meant for grieving to lash out at healthworkers who are also victims of a failed health system.
Any lawyer advising her to sue is probably money hungry, and might not win the case.
May Omolara rest in peace and her loved ones have the fortitude to bear the loss.
So there's this wound on my big toe, which developed by itself, just like that. I've been suffering this injury for more than a year now.
I've taken many medications and treatments, all to no avail. I've met 4 deferent doctors,who apparently do not know what that is or how to treat it, they just dress it and prescribe some medicine, and that's it.
I just discovered recently that it's an Ingrown Toenail, after some research on the internet. And according to what I read, it needs a surgery to remove the Ingrown Nail, but all the doctors I've met do not know what an Ingrown Toenail is, and they usually tell me that it doesn't need a surgery.
Guys pls, this thing is really painful. I can't even walk properly with it. If you are a doctor here who knows about this, I beg you to not ignore this post
If you have experience something like this or know someone who has, pls tell me how to treated it. Thank you so much.
It will mean a lot if this thread could reach the front page to gain more views. Pls I really need any help I can get. Thank you!
ingrown toenail. Go and see a doctor. This usually needs minor surgery
CSoul: (Created this new account to post for a sister)
Please help advice a sister in confusion.....
Background:
"I reconnected with my old school toaster who always spoke marriage and love. Got serious in 5 months. I've met a lot of people from his end within this period. He shows me off. Introduction was done and wedding date fixed."
Issues: Traditional is barely a week away; yet she's bleeding and scared of the future because of her discoveries:
1. The husband to be has anger issues. Ok, he's all nice and good when in good mood. But once something triggers him, all hell is let loose. The trigger can be a simple missing his call(while at work/meeting). No amount of sweet talk or explanations calms him down. [color=#006600][/color]
2. The shocker is that he cheats/has a fuckmate living nearby. She discovered this with evidence from their chats and hasn't been herself. The chat is detailed description of their exploits right up to the present and future plans how they'll continue after he's married. (From same chat, the other lady is aware he's getting married. He tried denying it; when it didn't work he started making excuses/begging he'll change.
3. He doesn't want any third party intervention in their affairs, not even counseling.
She's scared of the future and yet feels stuck as court marriage is done already, most preparations have been done(publicity and most of other physical arrangements), both for the traditional and wedding.
Kindly give your mature advice; she'll be reading every bit of it. (Admin kindly push to front page)
she better run.
She's about to get into a marriage with a textbook narcissist.
He has already started sef.
The signs are already there.
@ red lettering is called lovebombing. Overwhelm the victim with so much affection to pull her into the relationship. Things will be happening so fast and out of control. He'll put up the appearance of mr perfect.
Point one means the mask is beginning to fall off. He no longer sees the need to pretend. How much longer until she is the recipient of his violent tendencies
Point 2 shows that he lacks empathy and respect for her and feels he can get away with anything in the marriage.
Point 3 is the step where he excommunicates her from all outside influence, friends, family and counseling.
The next will be to make him her only source of support and sustenance. She will be like a child to the man to do as he likes.
manuelberry: My sister is always feeling sleepy.she feels sleepy even while eating and reading and i am not sure of the cause.she always feels like sipping garri and it is making me worried. Just today,she has slept for over 4 times and she's still feeling sleepy. Pls any medical personnel should help me out. p.s:she does not have a boyfriend and believes in abstinence so it isn't pregnancy.
As we prepare for work tomorrow. Always remember to look after your health. It is an investment your future self will thank you for.
Many people put off going to see the doctor until the last minute for a lot of reasons. From poor health facilities,long waiting times and less than friendly, frustrated hospital staff to lack of finances. Here's a list of 10 common illnesses that make nigerians visit their nearest doctor on an outpatient basis
10. Skin diseases: This is usually common in children and young adults because they can be unsightly and uncomfortable, especially where itching is involved. It can range from acne, to eczema, to ringworm, chicken pox, scabies and so much more.
9. Wounds and injuries: This happens to people of all ages and has been on the rise due to increased crime in the country, from robbery attacks and accident victims to domestic injuries and chronic wounds that refuse to heal.
8 Sexually transmitted infections(STI): This is common in young adults, gonorrhoea, syphilis and herpes for the men. While yeast infections( can also be non sexually transmitted), bacterial vaginosis, chlamydia and PID for the women, honorary mentions will be given to genitals warts and HIV 7. Joint pains: The middle aged and elderly are the most affected by this ailment. The commonest is low back pain, followed by knee pain. They come for their daily dose of pain relief and supplements to ease thier suffering.
6. Sickle cell crises: It is no secret that sickle cell anaemia leads to increased hospital visits and admissions. While preventable, it is so sad that there are still so many nigerians afflicted with this ailment.
5. Peptic Ulcer disease: to all my peeps who skip meals (Fasting especially) and eat spicy food. This is for you. They come in complaining of a biting chest or abdominal pain that is worse at night or when hungry. Except for children below 5, no age group is spared.
4. Malaria: Are you shocked?! Don't be, the reason is simple. Most nigerians will first of all go to one chemist or pharmacy who gives antimalarial drug for everything. One thing we all need to know is that not every sickness is malaria. The fever, body pain and weakness we think is malaria, is common in other illnesses and most likely something else especially any of the top 3.
3. Gastrointestinal illness es: Remember the last time you ate something bad and had diarrhoea and vommiting with stomach pain? The two main diseases in this category are food poisoning and typhiod fever, cholera is not left out. Common in all age groups ,but can be deadly in children under 5 and the elderly. So please wash your hands before eating, and after using the toilet; also try to use clean water for cooking and drinking.
2. Chronic illnesses: the main illnesses in question are hypertension and diabetes. It can be seen from late 30s till the elderly. Most of the people with any or both of these ailments are follow up cases. Causes include stress and a unhealthy life style, so eat and sleep well, exercise, drink moderately and don't smoke. Which leads me to number 1
Drumroll please
1. Respiratory illnesses: This is probably the most common reason why people come to the clinic, especially children. What many people assumed was malaria was simply this. It ranges from the common cold, to the more serious pneumonia. Honorable mentions will also be given to asthma.
Do you agree with this list?

gentleibraheem: Ijesha is immoral She is an adult and not 14 It was a total setup She played hard to get then finally agreed to go to the other room The way everyone left the room the first minute made it look like they arranged a hook up for the two No Audio to verify their conversation.
[quote author=Adetayo1978 post=101305261][/quote]if your daughter was in the picture, would you have allowed him go all the way?
Will you say your 14 year old tempted him because of puberty that she has no control over.
Was she wearing a skimpy gown, immorally dressed to seduce him?
You are a rape apologist
If there was no CCTV, baba ijesha will have gone all the way. She also will have struggled more because she knows that no one is outside to protect her.
ahiboilandgas: she had all the time for her fingers to be sucked. Stupid girl and useless man
The girl most likely knew she was being watched and that she would be saved. She just needed to get she's 14 for christ sake.
You are not a woman, you haven't been sexually harrased before.
When a man comes over and corners you the way baba ijesha did.
Forget breast and bombom, what will be going through your mind is the following.
1. Your look for an escape route. You may find one,or not. You look at the only obstacle, your harrasser.
2. How much stronger the harrasser is than you are, and if you try fight him and lose or if you scream and no one hears, you may end up angering him, and he may hit you or worse kill you.
2. Real fear, will paralyse you. You will be trying to tell yourself to calm down and trying not to pee on your self. You will tell yourself that if you calm down maybe there is a way to resolve this peacefully or make him stop.
3. Point 2 will make you start bargaining and begging to be free, but for some fvcked up reason this gives him the encouragement to continue. He becomes braver and is advancing your person and handling as he sees fit. He grabs you and it hurts.
4. He is telling himself that you like it, that you want this, meanwhile you see that there's no escape and you start to struggle against him hoping for a chance at freedom. But like point 2, he overpeowers by sheer weight and size.
5. As he is doing the act, you are not aroused, you are in pain because you didn't want this, you did not approve of this and the harraser continues anyway.
6. Forcing himself on you. Putting his weight on you. You struggle to breathe. Every movement to resist makes the pain worse. Sometimes you stop resisting and start to pray that it ends quickly, you pray in your mind to any God. Promise him anything to make it stop.
This could be a few minutes, or hours or days.
This is what makes it a violation. But may your daughter never go through what i just typed.
