At least that will serve each of them till they reach menopause (when they will stop bleeding)

TeachingNurse:
Yesterday, somebody told me:
“Nurse, I know it’s malaria. My body is hot, I’m weak, and I have headache.”

And honestly…
that sentence is one of the most common things healthcare workers hear in Nigeria.

The moment many people feel:
tired,
weak,
feverish,
body pain,
the next thing is:
“It’s malaria.”

But here’s the problem:

Not every fever is malaria.
Sometimes it is:
stress,
typhoid,
dehydration,
infection,
ulcer-related illness,
viral infection,
lack of sleep,
anxiety,
high blood sugar,
even severe exhaustion.

And sometimes… people keep treating “malaria” for weeks while the real problem keeps getting worse quietly.

I have seen people take antimalarial drugs multiple times without testing anything.
Some people practically use malaria drugs like paracetamol.

That’s dangerous.
Because when you keep treating what you assume instead of what is actually happening:
you waste money,
delay proper treatment,
stress the liver,
and sometimes damage your health further.

One thing many people don’t know is this:
Malaria symptoms overlap with many other illnesses.

That is why proper testing matters.
A simple test can save you from:
wrong medication,
unnecessary drug use,
and complications.

Another issue is self-medication culture.
In Nigeria, many people become their own doctor, pharmacist, and laboratory scientist overnight 😅

Small headache:
“Buy malaria drugs.”
Body weak:
“It’s malaria.”
Didn’t sleep well:
“Malaria is worrying me.”
Meanwhile the body may actually be crying for:
rest,
water,
nutrition,
proper diagnosis,
or medical attention.

This is not to say malaria is not common. It is.
Malaria is still a major health issue in Nigeria.
But the danger is assuming everything is malaria.

Sometimes the body is trying to warn you about something completely different.

And honestly, one of the biggest forms of preventive healthcare is this:

Stop normalizing guessing.
Test when necessary. Pay attention to your body. Ask questions. Seek proper care.

Your body is not a guessing game.
Have you ever treated “malaria” and later discovered it was something else? 👀

Let’s talk.

If I get bitten by mosquito once, I will just assume I have been infected with malaria, and I get bitten by mosquito at least once every 2 to 4 weeks so is malaria treatment for me

KiNg0G:
Over the years I have only had two friend in my entire life..I can't make new friends not like I care to. But I have always noticed since I was a teenager, people just stare and keep their distance. Like it starting to feel like I have some kind of demon that keeps people away at a far distance. I think I am the problem, I don't talk much.. I don't mingle, in fact I hate public settings and if you stare at me too much, from that day on me and you Will have beef in my mind... Because I might think you've heard one or two about me.

To cut this short, I am in my mid 30s right now and just can't help to notice like it seems I am the problem. I have lived in my current residence for 6years and not one single friend going down the street they all just stare. Men and women, boy's and girls...It's almost like my aura or the vibe I give is not welcoming, is keeping a straight face a bad thing..or is minding my business bad. It's almost like a spirit possessed me from childbirth keeping people afar.

Someone that I haven't talked to before might decide to keep malice with me like so many people.. frowning face whenever eyes meet and you can see from those eyes the hatred.
Like I wonder what's this problem.. meanwhile there's another guy right there who might be in same place and within a second knows everyone..I think this is spiritual

I’m almost like this!
Some people see me as someone with so much pride cos I don’t talk to them ‘first’,. I only have few friends as well. No girlfriend (not bothered).
I just Dey my lane, and mind my business

Revealpanda:
I know absolutely nothing about cars and wanted to get my first car... I always loved 2013-15 Honda accord.... All my hope was on a friend who's been in car business for about 5 years now and knows his way around.

I went to where he is and we looked for a direct Belgium car, he did all the necessary test and assured me it was a good car... The person we were getting is from is also his business network of friends.

I made the whole payment without doing any test of my own because I know nothing.... We did drive test and everything and the car was okay.


On getting to my state I just decided to Google the Cars VIN number, I saw it online where it was in USA, turns out it seemed the car was used for Taxi in USA... While other than the headlight which was damaged in the VIN page it has no issue.


My concern now is the mileage... It has more than 200kmiles on it already... And via my small research such cars are bound to fail anytime.


I paid 13m for 2015 honda accord not to talk of transportation to my state which is 600-900km away from Lagos which te driver is saying he will take 700k to drive it to my state, not to talk of commission I paid my guy


My question now is was I scammed?

I've been depressed since last week

Just to drive car to another state in this same Nigeria 700k, or is he driving it to Canada?

Kennitrust:
Good day my follow Nairalanders.

Everyday, life opens a new chapter of life to us. My own chapter had been opened and and it read... "it time to get married.

In the church I attended, there I met this girl so mature enough to be taken in as a wife. I approach her for the first time and I started asking her out. Seem she knew my intention, she started asking me about my church life, my family, my business and all that not.

To be honest with her, I did my best to answer every question in the language she could understand.

She seems not still satisfied with my account, she sent me this message at about 5am.
Said until I respond to those questions, she won't have anything to do with me again.

I'm truly confused on wether everyone that finds love 💕 really goes through this rigorous question.

And more about her life, she spent almost everyday in church after work. She said if I'm truly serious, I should also be as serious as she is in going and participating in all weekly activities in the church.

Please help, how do I answer this questions, since it the only options she said can bring us together?

She has seen you as someone who needs to marry, not her.
It just like going for interview (you need the job so you must answer any question attached)
The major mistake you made was being too open (marriage talk) to her. You could have just started as just friends, get closer to her everytime you guys meet! The closer you guys are the easier it becomes to penetrate.
She will later be the one to bring about the marriage talk (whether you want to marry her) you can then say Yes! THAT IS IF SHE’S QUALIFIED O!
Cause you’re just been desperate about marriage at the moment you don’t even know the number of demons in her yet!

[quote author=EmmyMaestro post=139435993]“If any man keeps malice with me for just 3 days, I’ll sleep with another man” – Lady declares

A Nigerian lady has sparked reactions online after sharing her controversial opinion on relationships while reacting to the alleged cheating scandal involving singer Chike and the ex-wife of media personality Frank Edoho.

In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the lady defended women who cheat in relationships, claiming that prolonged silence and unresolved issues between couples often push women into the arms of other men.

According to her, no woman would remain completely loyal for too long if her partner decides to keep malice instead of resolving problems in the relationship.

In her words, she said:

“If any man try to keep malice with me in a relationship because we’re having issues, the highest I can be loyal for you is three days. Me and you are dating and we’re quarrelling. I no talk to you, you no come beg me, the highest I can promise you that I won’t give out my body to another man is three days.

“So Chike we love you, thank you for being a shoulder for her to cry on when she needed you, we love you and we’re proud of you. For once the men should be proud too. So if you keep keeping malice with your woman, another man will take your place.”

Her statement has since generated mixed reactions online, with many social media users criticizing her stance on infidelity, while others argued that communication are important in relationships.

The controversy follows ongoing social media discussions surrounding allegations involving Chike and Frank Edoho’s ex-wife, which have continued to trend online.

SQLmastar:
Please house, I need mature advice. This matter is tearing me apart.

I met this lady (a doctor)
4 months ago. I'm 35, she is 31.
She told me she was a virgin and I believed her because of how she carried herself. I was very happy and rushed everything – introduction, engagement, and marriage plans (I promised my mum that I would get married before December 2026). We were supposed to do our traditional marriage in one week’s time.

Last week, I received an anonymous WhatsApp message. The person sent pregnancy test results showing that my fiancée was pregnant for her ex-boyfriend during her 1-year residency. She had told me about this ex, but said they never had sex, and that was why they broke up.
I confronted her with the message. At first, she denied it and said it was fake, someone trying to spoil her name. But when I said I would call her best friend to confirm, she broke down and confessed the truth.
She admitted she got pregnant for the ex, aborted it immediately, and promised herself never to have premarital sex again. She said she was ashamed and didn’t want to lose me, so she lied about being a virgin.
Now I’m confused and heartbroken. I love her but the lies are too much.
On the other hand, I have already invited many people – including the chief of my village and my manager at work. Cancelling now will bring serious shame and talk in my village and workplace.

Please Nairalanders, what should I do? Should I go ahead with the marriage or cancel everything? Has anyone been in this kind of situation?

I need honest advice.

LilMissFavvy:
Men should not bath their daughters. There are very many other house chores to help your wife do, focus on those ones. The childs mother will bath the child.

But women should bath their sons right?
No vex me this morning o!!!

Kylekent59:
150k monthly?

Where I work online and from home from 1 am to 4 am and 12 pm to 5 pm ( daily) and total a salary of 960k a month.


Hmmm, what would 150k do for a young man?

Football is a scam. I'm sure he will play Chelsea to win today. Chelsea will lose.

Money you guys lose is what they use to pay players. I pity people who refuse to learn.

All you have to do is to make him take responsibility at home and when he remembers that, he would shy away from gambling.

This is ridiculous!!

Must you be off-point at first?

After emptying the pocket will the money be returned to those he extorted?

Just collect the slap and move on, don’t give them any fuel

For her to be jubilating simply means the children are not the husbands’ own! The DNA test is fake, Because she knows who owns them from the onset

They are lying against the young man.
He only stole TWO goats according to the picture, not THREE!
They should free him!

Let continue to play!
God wey create an to be wild animal no get sense abi?

Big boobs with flat ass

Boladogailese:
Thank God i didn’t marry a broke man, my husband built our house at 26 love him

This liability of a gender, always looking to reap where they didn’t sow!
Hope your father also built his own house when he was 26?

saphiere:
So a lady promises a guy she was going to visit him. She later didn't go and was sued and made to pay damages.

On the other hand, a guy promises a lady marriage and did not marry her and she cannot sue him. Like seriously?

For those who would say that the former scenario collected money and refused to go visit him, also note that the latter collected sxxx and refused to marry her. The guy should be sued not because he promised and failed but because he slept with her, probably damaged her body.
Do you even know that women body always not the same again after being sexxed? If the body remain the same, why do u guys always reject a lady with many body count?
So you see it works both ways.
If he can use transfer receipt as evidence against me in court, why can't I use whatsapp chats about the sxxx we had as evidence too? I always tell you guys when u want to come for me, be logical. if he uses transfer receipt i will use whatsapp chats.

Your faculty of thinking is very low to think that a guy and a girl having sex is only beneficial to the guy. the girl suppose to pay the guy for the act itself cos she enjoys it more and the guy even lose energy in the process!
In essence sex is enjoyed by both parties involved.

OverCalculating:
What stupid thing have you ever done for your crush for the sake of love? Share your experience. I saw someone's experience and it is very funny 🤣🤣🤣...guys, can you easily relate with this experience attached below?


Nigerian man recounts how adding his ex-girlfriend to his HMO plan 'as wife' has turned into a long-term financial burden, years after their breakup — even after she got married and welcomed a child🤦🏽‍♂️💔

According to him, she still uses the free healthcare benefits, and removing her now could put his job at risk.

Removing her shouldn’t be an issue even banks customers do change their next of kin talk less of an HMO beneficiary.

Just say you be mumu, period!

That’s in the mid of civil war?
Wow!

99% of the EFCC operatives will also be in jail

I hope they have also brought the people killed back to life

RetroviralS:
Too many people still believe what’s no longer true. Let’s set the record straight 👇

❌ Myth 1: HIV is a death sentence.
✅ Reality: While this was once true early in the epidemic, advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART) mean that progression to stage 3 HIV (AIDS) can be prevented, and individuals on treatment can live long, healthy lives.

❌ Myth 2: You can tell someone has HIV by their appearance.
✅ Reality: People with HIV on effective treatment often look and feel healthy and show no visible symptoms.

❌ Myth 3: HIV can be transmitted through casual contact.
✅ Reality: Transmission is only possible through specific bodily fluids — blood, semen, vaginal fluids, rectal fluids, and breast milk. It is not transmitted through hugging, shaking hands, sharing utensils, or touching a toilet seat.

❌ Myth 4: People with HIV can’t have children.
✅ Reality: With the right medical care and by maintaining an undetectable viral load during pregnancy and delivery, the risk of transmission to the baby can be less than 1%.

💬 Let’s keep spreading facts, not fear.

What other myths about HIV have you heard people still believe? Let’s talk about it 👇

Prevention is always better than cure

Men, do not be deceived by this. It only happen once in a million.
Don’t ever try this!

Jennyclay:
What can 1 million do?

Just My iPhone is over 700k

May God help you struggling men

I hope you bought the phone with your own money? Otherwise, thunder tear your mouth

Jennyclay:
#10,000 - #15,000 daily if I decide to cook at home.

I even spend more if I decide to eat at a nice restaurant.

The question is for guys not you
99% of the money you spend is from men so chill

Chilipepper:
Lady shares story of how a friend secretly placed her on a monthly salary when she lost her job.

I already knew the friend must be a man

I wish men can wisen up about this “marriage” of a thing! That stuff is overrated and outdated.
All that on top shit wey fit no reach 1 year!

NB. I’m not against marriage but I think the rate of divorces, cheating and emotional blackmails, especially by the Delilahs in this generation has made marriage lost the initial worth and hype.

My advice to men:
Do not marry a non - virgin lady! If at all you are marrying one, don’t pay any shishi of a bride price or whatever they call it (after all, the men who previously wiped her fresh juice didn’t pay a dime). For any celebrations, make sure you split the bills 50/50

Even after fainting you will still catch her cheating (if that is the husband’s reason)

Fear who no fear that bleeding gender!

This is how Nigerian road will be in the next two years as the FG has promised to gift cars and free petrol to every citizen of the country.
40 to 50 lanes road will also be constructed all over the country to make movement easy.

The question is, is the man supposed to have raised the friend from death if he was reached?
