This new trend of using court against themselves is funny

I understand where you're coming from, as in, I understand where you stand. Jealousy is in both ways. Blacks are also jealous that whites are making it more than them. There are so many rich white men and rich white people business.

Racism is stem from attitude and it is ridiculous if we allow the attitude of some silly people influence the way we see ourselves.

You are 200% correct. I naturally do not support blacks most times because they over do it most times. Every little thing they term it racism. And I have not been campaigning for this black lives matter. But it's just very stupid to attempt to disrupt the process.

Jakemedg:
What your brother experienced is not up to half what your fellow blacks do to other blacks in Africa especially Nigeria.Jealousy and envy isn't a racist stuff

But the motive behind it was that a black man topped them. They wouldn't have done the same if it were a white man that topped.

What you just said means that racism does not exist. Because most things done by racists are also done by random people.
Since police kill Nigerians it's also ideal for their police to kill blacks.
Since yorubas call igbos Igbos and the igbos call yorubas brown roofers then it's also normal for a white to call a black a monkey.

I get you sir.

Seunpaul01:
Seriously? Are you in this world? Imagine, whites are in competition with black people.

First, Let the black Americans/people that already found their root in Africa should move to their respective countries in Africa. Then we would say white are in competition.

Listen to yourself, blacks that have found their routes should return?
Does that make any sense to you?
What's your definition of home?
If they are not in competition what then explains why they just want to die if a black man outshines them in anything.
When I perfectly know I am better than someone I don't even see them as rivals. I don't see them as people I should worry about.

When my brother joined the USA navy and had the best in their exams some whites suddenly became jealous and they ganged against him. Reported him for sexual molestation.
It took the grace of God he would have been dismissed and sent to jail until he got a wise counsel who taught him how to make one of them play into his hands and he tendered the evidence which showed that he was innocent.
Please what will you call that?

I think this whites have inferiority complex
They act so insecure.
Why would someone sponsor such? It's pure waste.
They are naturally in competition with blacks and would rather die than see blacks outshine them in anything.

Honey has been known to increase in hemoglobin A1c in the body according to research. You can check it

If u understood what I just wrote, u will know. My explanation was glycated hemoglobin (the hbA1c).
U mumbled it.

This your number 3 ehn
Hemoglobin bind to glucose or glucose bind to hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin released in the blood? High level of hemoglobin resulting in diabetes?
Must be a whole new theory!

When high glucose level in the body is sustained mostly due to poor insulin production. Glucose bind to Hemoglobin.
The only clinical significance is that it could make us measure the level of glucose in the blood in the last 90 to 120 days which is the life span of hemoglobin.

Recent studies are also in support of honey in diabetes patient. It's theorized that honey increases insulin production which will help mop up oxygen.

Nigeria is the worse country to be a teacher

One tenant, after his rent expired and I asked him for rent, he would promise the month end, once it's month end he would say he has not been paid. After asking him till on the 7th, he would promise 15th.
Once it's 15th he would promise weekend. Once it's weekend, he would promise month end again. And the cycle continues. He did that for about 7 months. The wife was a very nice woman who would always come and beg on his behalf.
I got so tired and angry that I threatened him, that if he refused to pay at a specified date, I would seal up his apartment.
I was still in 2nd year in the university, and that was basically what I needed to run a few things in school.
After threatening him, minutes later, the police came to arrest me. He said I was trying to seal up his apartment and I threatened to call area boys to beat him.
We got to the station, I narrated the whole story, the policemen blamed him heavily but one idiot was supporting him saying I was lazy and I could have gotten my school fees from hustling while in school rather than hoping on a rent.
I insulted him and he hit me from behind and it almost resulted in chaos inside the station. The others were in my support and begging me.
At last, he signed an undertaking that he would make payment in 2 months. I didn't argue but waited till his slated date.
After 2 months he was yet to pay, he came with some men to beg me since he had defaulted. He came with a wine which I collected and I acted as though I was ok with him.
I took the wine as a gift to the IPO who had become my friend and told he I want him punished for defaulting. He finally paid after a week of being threatened. I handed him a quit notice the day he made payment.
I continually reminded him that I would not have mercy on him if he stayed an extra day and it would be my delight to have his loads thrown out. The guy no finish him money before e go.

my2chains:
you been smarter how?

Can you even create a bulb or even a candle?
Can you do any advanced thing that we have never seen before?

You been smarter is only by words, this white folks are far more better than us in every way,

they live to create and invent while we blacks live only to depend on the things the whites have created,

so how are you even wiser than a white man?

You see, I was making an hypothesis about how the neuromalanin was poorly studied and how it could actually affect the cerebral function of the blacks as no single black dominated nation is developed. And I'm proposing that we might be genetically disadvantaged.
But not withstanding we have very smart blacks and it only boils down to self development. And I'm proud to tell you that I am one.
I take exams with whites in my field and I dust them real good.
You can do the same, you admitting that they are above you is self defeating on its own.

Good news

Bad news actually. We don't gain anything from the petroleum price increase as citizens. It only interprets to more available money to steal. And high oil price is not making us have sense as a nation. I'm enjoying the price as it's low. At least I am buying fuel at a cheaper rate.

This government have been telling us indirectly that no more fuel subsidy.
With the price hike, we might end up paying up to 200naira per litre.

I had a bitter experience last year, 30th November. I went for a friend's wedding on the mainland.Taking buses will ease the whole, as I could drop and take bikes at intervals or trek a bit just to beat traffic. That was the plan! The venue was almost an outskirt of Lagos. I left home feeling a bit funny, used the toilet that morning, as usual then set out for the wedding.I had decided not to drive to the mainland because most of the roads were under construction which caused much traffic.. And I strongly believe that was the worst decision I took last year.

I took the lightest of meal at the party because I wasn't really comfy with myself. As I was about leaving for home, I started feeling pressed. There was a toilet at the hall but I refused to use it. I said I would return home in 2hrs and believed I could hold myself. I detest public toilets no matter how clean.

After just about 10 minutes into the journey, reality was dawning on me. I dropped from a Napep, walked a few distance and was to take the next bus to oshodi. That was supposed to be a 20 minutes drive. I felt so pressed that I couldn't continue the journey.I had to start looking for where to deposit. I approached a public toilet the mobile plastic—made toilets, that was my first time going close to the facility.
I asked the woman if the place was neat and she said "yes". As i sighted the interior of the toilet, unconsciously, I screamed " Never".The lady looked at me like " e never catch u well"

I left there, approached a filling station, begged to use their toilet, but I was told they had no water. I suggested buying bags of pure water but it made no sense to the guy. I approached a pharmacy, the shop was too busy, flooded with many customers, the pharmacist were sealed up within a space guarded by a tough burglary proof. Just like the woman with an issue of blood, I knew if only I could approach any of them, speak some medical language, I would be delivered. But they were too busy with their clients and I won't like to join the queue nor get embarrassed for jumping the queue.

I decided to take a risk; boarded a bus going to oshodi. It was supposed to be a 15 to 20 minutes drive. But trust me, that was the longest journey of my life. The first bus wasn't getting filled up on time, a normal me would have been patient but I had to act smart and get on the almost-ready bus. I sat on the back seat sandwished between 2 guys.

Each second, I found myself looking through the windows, left and right, trying to locate the next possible and suitable place to drop.I was restless and sweating profusely as I paced in my small confinement. I wonder why the guys didn't call me to order because i was as restless as a woman in labour. I saw different places I thought were suitable as we drove in speed. A bar/brothel, numerous filling stations, a hospital etc. But before deciding to drop, we must have driven far from the point. On about 2 or 3 occasions, I screamed that the driver should drop me. Maybe it was my imagination or the faeces got stuck in my throat. But the driver never heard me and the people around didn't act like they heard as well.

The guy beside me alighted the bus at PWD busstop. The conversation he had on phone was indicating that he was going home. I almost begged to follow him home. But I decided not to as I was just about 4 minutes from oshodi where I believed I would see eateries.

It was already dark before getting to Oshodi. Oshodi is the worst environment anyone with my predicament would want to be. No single eatery in sight. Just very busy petty traders engrossed with their trading. I decided to ask where i would find a public toilet. The same plastic one was where I was directed to. The first one i saw was way neater but this time I had no choice. The attendant requested for money before using the facility. I gave her 1k note then she asked me to go back that she had no change.
I didnt even answer! I met the place messed, I had to pause, they cleaned it shabbily then I used it. Damn it, all I passed was a watery stool less than 15mls. I had the best feeling in the world like someone who just got a debt relief.

I boarded the final bus to my house. Should be about an hour 10 minutes journey. I was so calm on the bus and didn't mutter a word. My legs were still shaking and I was still soaked in my sweat. I was like one with a PTSD.

Finally, after about 20 minutes into the journey, I uttered my first sentence to my neighbor.
I said "bros, shit don hold you for journey before?".



If I had driven down, I would have packed at a cool spot, get a polythene bag, do my thing jejely, lock it in my car booth then dispose at home.

Share your own experience.

samicine:
Greetings one and all. I'll try to make my lamentation as short as possible.

My mother accused me of stealing her 2k, but I assure you, I didn't. The money got missing on Thursday night according to her and my 13 year old brother. I won't do such a thing, because the times are hard and the pandemic is fueling this hard times. I'm not lazy, I kind of work from home, I write for opera news hub and to some extent I get money from there, currently I have 19k in my account. I have no motive of taking her money, but she insists I took it, and is currently threatening to throw me out of the house.

This is not the first time such thing has happened. When I was still in secondary school, money got missing often and she'll blame me, beat me and starve me for stealing her money, but God helped me and the culprit was found, my other brother was caught, he is 18 now and doesn't stay with us anymore. He stays with my dad. She never apologized for what she did and the scars of that emotional and physical abuse still ripples across my body. But this time I'm not sure I will forgive her if the money is found. I'm planning on leaving home and starting my life somewhere, it's hard, it might just be my naivety speaking, but I need your advice.

The only skill I have is writing and web designing, which I'm almost getting good at. I just need help and guidance. I'm a 200level student and I major in psychology. I'll be 21 by November.

I believe your mistake is probably not supporting them at home with the little you have.
You have 19k in your account and it seems there's no much money in the house. There's nothing bad giving your mum 5k out of it.

If you do this consistently, she can't ever believe you will steal her money. She will trust you and never want you to leave.

adadike:
Wonderful God! Am moved to tears. This God , how wonderful you are. I was preparing to travel for Xmas from ilorin to Onitsha, being a prayerful person, I decided to keep vigil and pray against accident. While praying and deep in the spirit, I saw dead bodies of corpers lying on the road. After the prayers , I narrated what I saw to my mum . The next day, she saw me to Onitsha park at Oja Oba Ilorin. To my surprise, there were about 10 corpers on the queue travelling to Onitsha as well. I decided to board the same bus with them coz of the revelation I had. My mom panicked but I advised her to go home and keep praying for our safety. The driver was an Igbo man which is unusual. That transport company hates working with Igbo people, yet 90 percent of their customers were igbos.
I led the corpers and the other occupants of the vehicle in a short but powerful prayer . After the prayer , I kept calling on the blood of Jesus to save the day coz of my revelation. On getting to Osi in kwara state, I dozed off only to awaken at screams of 'Jesus Jesus Jesus'. The car summersaulted three times and plung into a ditch . Miraculously all of us survived. What surprised me the most was the Igbo driver took me aside and said, 'nne, tell me the truth, who are you'?

I'm moved to tears
God is so Great.
I feel contented.
I don't feel like reading any other comments
This is satisfying.

I'm very pained at your error. A case of hero to zero. If you made that switch in March you aren't intelligent enough.

It will be very difficult to have a favorable legal battle owing to the covid 19 economic crisis that will appeal to the judges.

All over the world, this is projected to happen.

We are yet to see the full effect of covid 19, so much doom and disaster await the world if a vaccine is not discovered in time.

The match fixer!.
We can't forgive you

A lot is said to be happening at that Dangote refinery site as different companies are deployed there working in different sections.

A doctor lamented about how they have covid patients but are covering it up so government will not close it down till further notice.

I'm sure the outrage must have gotten to the government that have also decided not to act because it is Dangote

Agboriotejoye:
Lemme give you a straight answer
Is the app good (useful) or not: NO
Is the governor wasteful or not: YES

You must either be an extreme optimist or a foreigner to expect the price for that app to be within reasonable limit. If a more refined and respectable politician could dig a borehole for 78million, I'll expect you to know that a more notorious politician like Bello launching a high sounding thing like app will come at no mean cost.

I insist that the app does nothing. If someone were to have a mild cough and catarrh, there's no way for the app to differentiate from one who is having a very severe cough and catarrh. It's such judgements that determine what a doc does next. You might admit the one with severe symptoms while asking the mild one to buy some drugs and go. Ain't no way an app gonna be able to do that. The app will still tell everyone coughing, sneezing and running a fever to go for a test so what difference will it make. I as an individual, if I have those symptoms, I'm not going to take an app telling me to remain at home during a pandemic serious. So, I don't see how it will help limit influx of people to hospitals. As a matter of fact, health experts say the more people tested, the better. So I don't know what we stand to gain by preventing people from coming for tests using an app!!

Obviously you didn't watch the interview and the mention of an app sounds fanciful to you. That's why you're so excited about it. The US is testing an average of 150k per day and want to ramp it up to 500k. Testing as much as possible is the way forward not limiting testing. Your app is doing the opposite of what your senior colleagues in the medical line recommend.

Everyone knows how callous and evil Bello is not too mention his incompetence in his first term. We all know how he won his second term. I do not hate him but rather his stewardship to the people of kogi whom he has made overnight paupers

You should develop an app with medical applications. I'm sure yaya Bello will be a ready customer.

Well, our thoughts concerning the mode of operation of this app differs.
Everybody is soliciting for massive testing include me. But do we have the kits? NO!
So make do with what you have.
In fact, the little kits we have were donated to us.

I know Bello is a failure but on this subject, I'm not discussing the political aspect of it. I am only telling u what the app can do. And if well coded, it will help. We know what patients come to complain in the hospitals believing it's corona. You will be surprised.

Btw, bros, we don try. Leave Bello matter abeg.
How are you?

Hmmm
Kano!
If they are not careful, New York and Italy will be a child's play.
Because they are densely populated, have many illiterates and are stubborn.
The earlier they realise their problems, the better for them

Agboriotejoye:
Here you have it. You may be a doc but definitely you don't know what an app is all about and what an app can or can't do. An app is a logical device that gives a definitive output. No either or nor ifs and buts.
I've followed this issue of coronavirus closely and I can tell you an app has no business. Everyone including kids and even illiterates know what the symptoms are. The info is everywhere and you don't even need an app to give you an info about coronavirus. You surely don't need an app to tell you when to see a doctor. Your observation of the symptoms you're having should tell you.
So, I don't need a medical degree to know what diagnosis entails. I've been to hospital several times and I have doc friends. With what docs do in diagnosis, except an app is fitted with AI, the logical apps that we have now can't do jack.
You can tell yaya Bello and his doctors that develop apps dat. Good day

P.S. If not that yahaya Bello is wasteful, the money he used to develop an app should have been used to set up a testing centre. With all the information out there, anyone in kogi who suspects he has the virus can get tested without having to go to Abuja or Edo. But with docs like you encouraging his wastefulness, the road to a testing centre in kogi is indeed long.

I know people like you

From
Is the app good or not? down to is the governor wasteful or not? I don't like him as a person and the article didn't state the price for the app.
I'm only telling you and maintaining that judging by the fear in people leading to unnecessary influx of people to the hospital, the app is good.

So, the person of the governor, if he's doing other things right or not should be another debate.

You are definitely one of those who argue blindly. Meaning u must be against all policies by someone because u don't like them.

From the above if u know what diagnosis entails, u will know an app even AI can't make a sustainable diagnosis. The app can only tell u, this is not likely covid-19 or this is likely covid-19, go for testing.

Again, dont just think everybody on nairaland is just average,saying i dont know what an app entails.
I am working on an app totally outside medicine almost ready. I won't mentuon what it does so no one will steal my idea before launching

Agboriotejoye:
Since you understand better can you try explaining the difference between the two cause I've not seen anything from you to suggest you even understand the issues at all.

If you say the app is for sensitisation, then common sense dictates that it's a waste because you can just tune in to ur tv or radio or even news web to get all the info you need. You definitely don't need an app for that especially in kogi state. Moreso, the gov never said it's for sensitisation. He said it's for testing.

Again you're disappointing me. If you say people who were turned back at testing centres due to unavailability of test kits should have consulted an app, then you admit that the app can decide if one is positive or not. Even a doc can't decide that!!

The questionnaires given in the western world and even here in Nigeria in some hospitals are for the doc to have first-hand information for review when he meets with the patient. The doc will not make a decision based on a questionnaire, he'll still meet with the patient one on one. Your so-called app will make that decision based on the questionnaire. I hope you can see the gap.

Go back to my earlier post to see the example I gave about a patient suffering from malaria. A doctor's work is not simply to determine if one has coronavirus or not. It's to help restore a sick individual to a state of well-being. So if you're not having coronavirus and the app says you go for a test, when you get there you still meet a doc who then determines if you should be tested for coronavirus and/or other ailments. Again the app has become useless. You as a doc should know this. I'm really surprised you don't.

You saying I dont understand the issue is insulting. And funny from someone who doesn't know the what the medical profession is all about.
I will disappoint you because we are not resonating at the same level.
I can't be explaining something over and over again.
You talked about those having iyher diseases and i said the app is just a one way device that tells you when to report to a testing centre.
At this point of the pandemic, every lower and some upper respiratory tract infection is a suspected case. I wont break thing further cause u still will not understand
What you could comprehend from what i said about people who got turned back at testing centres is admiting the app can tell who is positive.
From the above, its either you want to just argue or you have issues with understanding this subject. And i won't blame you because it's not your field.
I'm not arguing with you, i am educating your ignorance on this subject. Sometimes you lean back and learn from professionals, i do the same when it's not my field. You must not conment on every thread...

You must be wiser than the governor, his advicers and the lots of medical doctors that brought that app up.

No more replies for you.
I have never engaged anyone this long on nairaland and i am stopping now because of the indirect insult u threw at me.

Agboriotejoye:
See, let's not go too far. I have a strong haunch there's no app self. But if there is, I'm still surprised you a doc thinks an app can do a diagnosis. Imagine someone suffering from malaria and vomiting, having fever and let's say he has a cough with it. How exactly will the app know it's malaria. The app will probably decide since he has a fever and a cough, he probably has coronavirus thus needs to be tested. Now a doc seeing the guy vomiting will suspect other things as well and even if asking for the person to be tested for coronavirus ask for malaria tests as well. In other words, if the person is negative for coronavirus, he comes back positive for malaria and gets treated. But the so-called app will just say go for test. So can you tell me what difference the app has made in this matter? That's why I said it's a qualitative question not quantitative. I'm sure you'll agree the easiest thing for the US to do is to develop an app. So leaving it at a phone call should tell you they realise an app can't be effective. FYI, US are now moving towards DIY testing like for pregnancy.

Well... You still haven't said if sanwo-olu is lying about door to door he spoke about.

See i am tired trying to educate u. I have explained what sanwoolu meant to u, but u are not just getting it. Go and read the difference between contract tracing and door to door testing.
You don't even know what making diagnosis entails.
Sensitization about the symptoms and when to visit the hospital, done all over the televison needs a doctor's presence?

The app was not made for other illnesses, that's only when it will have problems with making decisions because of what is called differential diagnosis.

Don't always copy what the whites do. They have a functional system. Their emergency service is swift, they have money for plenty test kits.
Now get a secret, as at the first 3 weeks of this pandemic in Nigeria, Lagos state had only 25k test kits.
They can't test every dick, tom and Harry. A lot of people flooded the testing centres and only got turned back.

If such app existed, there won't be such issues.

In the western world, Once u go to the hospital, u first fill a questionnaire concerning your medical history. This gives the doctor an idea of what your history is like.
These are prepared questions.
If an app can have a one-way prepared question and just state whether or not testing should be done, such app should be applauded. And it's in no way replacing doctors..

Meet a doctor, show them my posts and see what they will tell u.
Your understanding about medicine is not enough, u might not understand many things.

Agboriotejoye:
Get me right. I never said having an app is wrong. But from all indications, the app was not approved by the NCDC. The series of questions you talked about must have been those supplied by NCDC. So an app doing the work of a doctor is not workable. I'm surprised I'm telling you this. An app can get data and submit to a server for proper processing. But for an app to determine who might be infected or not is just not workable. As you know, people may show some symptoms to a higher degree than others. It's a qualitative question not quantitative. No way an app can answer a qualitative question.

Lagos state said on TV they want to do door-to-door search for ppl who may be infected. I believe their targets will be areas that have more people who have tested positive. I watched sanwo-olu say it. So except you're saying he's lying, I don't know what else to think.

You are only talking because u dont have a full knowledge of this subject.
A lot of people designed different algorithms which primarily arrive at same purpose. The virus in question is novel and no one has full knowledge of the virus. So knowledge shouldn't be limited. And such app would not have been developed without the inputs of doctors.

If you know how many people get bounced back at testing centres you will understand better. And you will know there is a need to know when they should visit the hospital and when not to.
Even in the USA, u have to call first and be told whether or not you should come to the hospital or self isolate.
So if u have a app that can tell u when to go for testing instead of unnecessarily roaming the hospital, why not embrace it.
Or do u think an app can't do that?

Judging from your statement, door to door search of people who may be infected means contact tracing in medicine. And its different from door to door testing
