That's good. I hope he makes the right choices.

How old is she? It could be menopause. Headaches and sleeplessness (insomnia) are common and women passing through that stage of life usually feel exhausted sometimes.

The internal heat might be hot flushes experienced by women in menopause.
A hot flush is characterised by a sudden feeling of heat which seems to come from nowhere and spreads through the woman's body.

More often than not, a hot flush can leave her feeling drenched with sweat and exhausted and she can get "chills" after them because she's usually wet from sweating. Exhaustion can come often after these hot flushes but, feeling exhausted all of the time or having a fever for more than the duration of the hot flush is not (to the best of my knowledge), part of hot flushes.

And about the frequent malaria diagnosis from lab results, almost everyone in a malaria-endemic region like Nigeria will usually test positive to plasmodium because all of us have suffered from mosquito bites and malaria in the past. It now depends on the level of parasitemia (amount of plasmodium in the blood.)

From the foregoing, I would have concluded that she is experiencing menopause as most of the symptoms you listed are found in menopause but the persistent fever and the fact that you said it has been going on for 15 years brings another dimension to the case. It is rare for a woman to experience menopausal symptoms for that long unless she's among the few who experience such.

She may actually have some other problem going on within her body such as a virus or bacterial infection of some kind.
It could also be clinical depression.

She needs expert medical check-up to really get to the root cause of her condition.

These people are always taking advantage of situations even if it is to the detriment of their fellow men. What is the rationale behind selling fuel at N600? Pure greed.

This is bad

I have never seen where a group of envious people will seek to bring down their own compatriot. Iwaela isn't perfect but she's an asset and a gem

The problem with many people is that they capitalize on someone's little weaknesses and condemn the person and they forget the great strengths the person possesses. It is this pull-him-down syndrome that has kept us going around in circles as a people.
We cannot make progress if we continue like this.

The marketers are hoarding the fuel hoping to make profit at the expense of fellow Nigerians.
We as a people are our own worst enemy

They can withdraw the award, if they wish after all, it's not like her life depends on it. The woman has already achieved a lot and those who know her value will continue to appreciate her.

Some of the people criticizing her have not achieved even a tenth of what she has achieved.

I envisage a time in Nigeria when people will not have to run to foreign countries for greener pastures.

Together we can make our own land green. It will not be easy but I believe we can do it.

OK. They tried.

Then most of Buhari's close associates in the APC will go to jail first because they cannot deny that they have never looted govt funds.

What is this?
It may look fashionable to people (especially misguided young people) but it is highly irresponsible for young boys to be fathering babies indiscriminately.

Right.

OK

That's the honourable thing to do.

The fact remains that GEJ's reaction to the election results was better than that of Buhari when he lost in the last election.

We all know the unfortunate events that followed his failure to accept the results even when it was clear that he lost.

Don’t use disease prevention to sell the idea of promiscuity.

I'm sure they were quick to put it on their website because bad news sells, especially when it's from Africa.

justwise:
After reading these 16 long points i'm actually depressed now

Really? That wasn't supposed to happen. I need to check to know what went wrong.

uzolexis:
thanks OP,I really needed this now as i'm falling into depression.......*focus on the +ves* that's my motto now.

That's a good resolve. I wish you more grace. Stay strong.

Chi59:
Thanks Eleojo23 for this awesomely inspiring post...I've got a lot to work on

You're welcome. We all have areas to work on and one step at a time, we'll get there.

UjSizzle:
Love your posts.

And I agree with not being envious of other people's success and not trying to please everyone.
We grow. We grow into ourselves and that involves shedding off some excess baggage. Problem lies in recognizing what our emotional baggage are to begin with and being pliant enough to let them go.

Baaically I think it takes a lot of personal growth to become comfortable with one's self. When we can achieve that level of self-acceptance so many things will fall in place, and we can say bye bye to emotional roller coasters.

You are right. Thanks for your contribution.

How about we stop talking about Jonathan's woes and move on?

How can people be so naive and gullible?
Listening to men of God does not mean that you throw away common sense. I think God made the brain for a reason.

danjumakolo:
We r blaming you guys for being blind,brainless and common senseless.

You do think I am from the south east, don't you? Wrong. I'm just stating my opinion on the issue.

Caseless:
gangues!

Gangue: A worthless rock or other material in which valuable minerals are found.

You failed to look beyond the worthless matter to see the valuable mineral. It might seem like useless talk but you know that there is sense in that post.

Well, the point is that they should just focus on fulfilling their promises. No need to keep repeating it.

I am not wishing them bad luck. I sincerely wish them success because their success is our collective success.

Good morning.

Why are some people making it seem like the South east needs to apologies for their choice in the last election?
What is wrong with the S'east voting en masse for PDP? After all, the North also did that for APC or is it because the party that the S'east supported finally lost?
People have the right to vote for any party/candidate in an election. That is democracy and that is why it is called a contest - to see who finally gets more votes.

It is therefore unrealistic to expect the entire country to vote for one party.

So there is nothing wrong with the S'east voting en masse for their preferred party (PDP) the same way nobody is criticizing the North for voting en mass for their own preferred party (APC)

I hope the undisclosed amount is something substantial.

How does this help buhari?
Buhari is in Nigeria and they are trekking to mecca.
They should just tell us that they have been unable to benefit from the Hajj program and they are now taking matters into their hands by going there on foot.

shaqhead:
What is "new" and "more" about this promise Mr.? And which one is pity in this matter?
Nigerians shd demand for the fulfilment of promises-a sacred pact between Leadership and Nigerians! Nothing to be emotional about.

Hello Mr Shaqhead, it's been a while.

Fine. It's neither 'more' nor 'new'. But the point is that the APC has raised the expectations of Nigerians. I understand that they needed to do this to actually represent 'change' and as a result, they are under pressure to perform.

We are all watching and waiting to see what they've got to offer.
I can only wish them well as they go about fulfilling their promises. I sincerely hope they perform well.

It seems the APC does not know that election (campaign) is over and that it is time to start working.

By the time Nigerians begin to ask for results, let them not ask for pity.
