Health › Re: Where Can I Get An HIV Test Done At Ado Ekiti? by garriboy(m): 9:00am On Jul 13, 2021 |
ceaser: I think you should go to the Federal Teaching Hospital at Ido. I hear it is free there. It is also available in the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) in Òkèlá, Ado and ABUAD hospitals complex. Also all the specialist hospitals in the state (like Ikere, Ikole, Ijero and Ìyìn) should d have the facilities.
On the flip side, if you would like to have things done on VIP level and are ready to pay, you can take your own sample/have someone draw it for you, till in a consent form and have the sample sent to Synlab in Lagos or Ilé-Ifè. The results will be mailed to your suited email or sent to your submitted phone mum er.
I think their HIV test is between 15k to 25k. SYNLAB HIV cost is 9400 |

Christianity Etc › Is Repeating A Prayer Point Really Necessary? by garriboy(op): 12:23pm On Jan 06, 2019 |
Hello fellow Christians, I've had this thought for a while now. Do we really need to repeat ourselves for God to hear (and answer) us.
Isaiah 65:24 says "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear". If he answers us before we call and hears us as we speak, why should we speak again?
In Mark 11:24 it says "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them". Here Jesus is telling us that when we pray in FAITH, we should simply believe our prayers are answered and it shall be so. If it is already answered why ask again?
John 5:14-15 says " 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him". This also buttresses my point.
Personally I think if our prayers are backed by concrete FAITH, then the next prayer point should be thanksgiving, followed by the next prayer point. |

https://techcapon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/IMG_20180924_104051-1024x812.jpg
Blackview has silently unveiled the Blackview BV9600 Plus, a rugged smartphone with In-display fingerprint scanner. Blackview specializes in making rugged phones, but we are impressed on how the company integrated the trendy in-display fingerprint scanner on the BV9600 Plus. The phone comes loaded with NFC and packs a bunch in the RAM and storage departments.
https://techcapon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/maxresdefault-768x432.jpg
Design and Display
The Blackview BV9600 Plus is a rugged smartphone quite alright, it was built with a combination of Polycarbonate and Metal. It boasts of IP68 certifications, offering dust and water resistant. According to this report by Mobile Crypto Tech, the device has no rear fingerprint scanner, the scanner has been moved to the screen.
The phone sports a 6.21-inch full-HD+ AMOLED screen panel with a notch and dishes out 19:9 aspect ratio all under the protection of the Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The resolution of the screen is 1080 x 2248 pixels with 402ppi. You can unlock the device by placing your hand at the bottom of the screen as well.
https://techcapon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/blackview-bv9600-plus.jpg
Camera and Processor
The BV9600 Plus is equipped with dual 16MP + 8MP rear shooters from Samsung. Specifically, S5K3P8 + S5K4H7 super bright 6-element lenses, the cameras boasts of f/2.0 + f/2.4 aperture, 1.0 μm + 1.12 μm pixel size and 1/3.1″ + 1/4″ sensor size. The camera is great but cannot be compared to that of the XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 6 PRO with four cameras.
https://techcapon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/download-1.jpg
It shoots 4K videos as well @30fps as well, while the 8MP selfie camera on the notch has f/2.0 aperture, 1.126 µm pixel size and 0.18′ sensor size. The MediaTek Helio P60 (MT6771) chip takes control underneath, it comes with an octa-core processor clocking in 2.0GHz. In the graphics department, the ARM Mali-G72 MP3 graphics card plays its role pretty well.
Storage and Battery
There’s 6GB/8GB RAM space variants and 128GB storage space, nonetheless, you can expand that to 256GB with a memory card. The battery capacity is 5000mAh with fast charging, this should get you through a full day after a single charge.
https://techcapon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Blackview-BV9600-Plus-official-image-2.jpg
Blackview BV9600 Plus Colors and Price

Science/Technology › Re: The 10 Most Expensive Liquids In The World by garriboy(m): 7:44am On Jan 29, 2018 |
classicfrank4u: Type 1 diabetics rely on injections of a certain life-saving liquid called insulin. But have you ever wondered what the exact cost of insulin is? And how does it weigh in (per gallon) against the most expensive liquids in the world? Hint: It’s a heavy weight! Let’s take a look, shall we?
https://beyondtype1.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/blood.jpg
10. Human Blood: $1,500 per gallon The actual acquiring of human blood isn’t all that difficult, considering we all have it! However, the processing of the blood after donation can be very expensive depending on where in the world the buying and selling of it is occurring.
9. Gamma Hydroxybutyric Acid (GHB): $2,500 per gallon Depression, insomnia, and narcolepsy are just three of the disorders that GHB can be used to treat – as it is commonly used as an anesthetic in medicine. It is found in the human central nervous system. GHB is also well known by its nick name when used illegally: the “date rape drug.”
8. Black Printer Ink $2,700 per gallon No matter the price of your printer itself, the printer’s ink always costs far more, and the manufacturer for each printer and its corresponding ink is the one and the same.
7. Mercury $3,400 per gallon
Mercury is not as widely used in the production of medical tools (such as thermometers) as it used to be due to its toxicity. However, it remains to be the only liquid metal that remains liquid at room temperature, it can be used to conduct electricity, and in vapor form it is used in street lighting and fluorescent bulbs.
6. Insulin $9,400* per gallon Insulin is very expensive to produce in its biosynthetic form. As we know – (or should know!) insulin is a hormone naturally produced by healthy pancreases. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association , insulin prices tripled between 2002-2013 and seem to be steadily on the rise. A more affordable way to produce insulin is reportedly in development, introducing the human gene into plants to then produce it themselves. *The price of $9,400 per gallon was published by HF Magazine, though any PWD out there can do the math themselves…we’ve seen conclusions ranging from $15,000 – $100,000.
5. Chanel No. 5 $26,000 per gallon One of the most widely known fragrances in the world, Chanel No. 5 was first produced in 1922 through the collaboration of chemist, Ernest Beaux, and Coco Chanel. Coco Chanel selected vial #5 of the samples that Beaux presented her with, due to her fondness for the number 5. The name was kept.
4. Horseshoe Crab Blood $60,000 per gallon The blood of horseshoe crabs is used and harvested in high quantities today to test that a wide range of medical products are not contaminated. Horseshoe crab blood is blue in color, and its unique response to bacterial toxins was discovered over 50 years ago.
3. Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) $123,000 per gallon Very widely used in the 1960s as a hallucinogenic drug, LSD is made from the crystalline compound, Lysergic acid, prepared from natural ergot alkaloids. Just one gallon of LSD would provide enough hallucinogens for approximately 55,000 people.
2. King Cobra Venom $153,000 per gallon With venom capable of killing a full gown elephant, the King Cobra is the most poisonous snake known to the world. The King cobra’s venom also contains a unique protein called ohanin. Ohanin is being used today in the form of a painkiller that is 20 times more potent than morphine.
1. Scorpion Venom $39,000,000 per gallon Scorpions use their venom as a defense against predators and to kill prey, but only 25 species of scorpion have venom that would be lethal to humans. The protein found in scorpion venom, however, can be used to treat pain in humans who suffer from multiple sclerosis (MS), inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.
https://beyondtype1.org/the-10-most-expensive-liquids-in-the-world/ Point of correction, blood is not sold (legally) anywhere in the World. Here in Nigeria you only pay a token as access fee to cover for the screening when you are getting it from NBTS. |

Just like the judiciary, the lawmakers now have some form of immunity in the course of discharging their duties. The first thing they will do is abuse it with their corrupt practices. This is supposed to shield then from harassment by the executive and judiciary arm, which I believe is necessary. |
