Good evening Nairalanders.

I am dying in silence

I discovered that I had pile during my secondary School days (2014). I didn't even know this has been on me for long, until I went to defecate with a friend of mine in the bush. Immediately he saw that red flesh coming out on my anus. He shouted "What is this!!". That was when I knew I had PILE.

I told my mum about this. She said she noticed something like that from the day I was given birth to. She said, she didn't keep quiet, and she asked the nurses what was in my anus. The nurses replied that, "it is normal" That it will still leave there. Now, I am in my twenties. This thing is now paining me seriously. In fact , I can't defecate easily.

Please, nurses and doctors in the house, come to my aid.

Note: I noticed that, I ejaculate within 3 to 4 mins during sex. I don't know maybe it's because of the pile?

Also, I have used and inserted some drugs (Anosoid or so, I can't really remember it spelling) recommended by a general hospital doctor yet, this thing is still stubborn. I have also visited Alagbo (herbal). In fact, The money wasted can't just be mentioned.

This night, I discovered the that its now out itself. Since all these while, it has been in, I only feel or see it while defecating.

I can't just imagine what people have been saying. like, "I wont be able to impregnate a lady" and all sorts of things like that.

Pls, help your boy.

Help for wider view .

I will appreciate all comments, remedy, solution, cure etc just to get this out of my anus.

It doesn’t always come down to which phone is better, as you may think. Filling up the third and fourth positions respectively on the list of top smartphone brands in the world, iPhone and OPPO are definitely close competitors in the smartphone world.

This brings us to the review topic today, which entails comparing the latest products from these brands - the iPhone 11 and Reno2 smartphones. These devices have both captured the hearts of many tech enthusiasts and brand loyalists alike and it’s no wonder why; from the beautiful body designs to the amazing camera technology. However, is that all there is to it? Let’s take a closer look.

The iPhone 11 and Reno2 will be compared in relation to the following categories:

CAMERA

iPhone 11 -12 MP + 12 MP VS OPPO Reno2 - 48MP + 13 MP + 8 MP + 2 MP

iPhone 11 features a dual-camera system with two cameras of the same megapixels (12 MP) albeit for wide and ultra-wide angles respectively while the Reno2 has four cameras of 48 MP (main camera) +13 MP (long-focus lens) + 8 MP (wide-angle lens) + 2 MP (bokeh lens) for each.
The front camera of the iPhone 11 is 12 MP as well while that of the Reno2 has 16 MP.

OPPO Reno2 Shark-fin camera has that ‘Woah’ factor that just astounds everyone when you showcase it, certified to make you stand out of the crowd, anytime and anywhere. The front camera of the Reno2 is an outstanding 16 MP with beautification mode turned on by default. A comparison with the iPhone 11 mere 12 MP showed that Reno2 produced clearer pictures with even more detailing. OPPO Reno2 camera has a whole lot more megapixels than the iPhone 11, which means better picture quality.

Rear Cameras - OPPO Reno2 has the quad-camera set up which is embedded into the rear of the phone useful for photo enhancement like blur, zoom, etc. The 8 MP camera functions for the wide-angle lens which serves to capture the widest view possible, from an entire stage performance to the largest group of smiling people posing for a photo without anyone having to stand at awkward positions.
You definitely can’t forget the OPPO Reno2 5X Hybrid and 20X digital zoom available which brings you closer to practically everything! Each with an incredible amount of clarity no matter how much you zoom in. The iPhone 11 does have a zoom feature but only up to 4X and this is not one of the scenarios where less is more - we must say.

Both the OPPO Reno2 and the iPhone 11 have portrait and night mode. However, while the night mode on the OPPO Reno2 works automatically by detecting the level of light in the environment and producing clearer and sharper pictures even at night, you may have to stress a little on the iPhone 11 to activate night mode.
Video Camera - The OPPO Reno2 video camera gives you the opportunity to make videos while moving or still with the Ultra Steady Video option as well as sound focus, dynamic zoom and auto wind reduction.

iPhone 11 scores - 6.4/10

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY

OPPO Reno2 features the unique Shark-fin selfie camera which of course, provides for a notch-free screen perfect for gaming and streaming videos; the embedded quad-camera setup which protects your camera from scratches and dust and while the iPhone 11 has the new dual-lens, it is not quite as protected - and even a pouch will not help you with this.

The iPhone 11 features the Dolby Atmos which adds improvement to the sound system of the iPhone 11. The OPPO Reno2, on the other hand, has the 360 degrees microphone which record audio from all angles as well as the stereo speakers to give you the maximum loudspeaker experience with noise cancellation.

DESIGN

OPPO Reno2 has the 6.5 inch (16.51 cm) screen with no notch whatsoever. This is made possible by the unique Shark-fin selfie camera which provides for an obstruction-free screen, great for your streaming and gaming experiences. It’s also a well-known fact that activities like reading, browsing, chatting etc are more pleasurable on a bigger screen.

The iPhone 11 has a 6”1 (15.49cm) screen size, obviously not as impressive, the OPPO Reno2 screen is bigger by over 15%. Also, the OPPO Reno2 has an AMOLED screen which makes everything sharper and clearer when compared to the iPhone 11 IPS LCD screen.

Made with Gorilla Glass 6, the OPPO Reno2 is lightweight and sleek to the touch. The iPhone 11 is made with Gorilla Glass as well but is a little on the heavy side. However, the iPhone 11 is slimmer in hand (8.1 mm) than the OPPO Reno2 (9.5 mm).

While the iPhone comes in six colours: black, green, yellow, purple, red and white, the OPPO Reno2 comes in great naturalistic colours from the ocean blue and luminous black - with each colour fading and increasing at different parts of the rear, presenting great aesthetics to the user.

BATTERY

Wait for it guys, the OPPO Reno2 has a whopping 4000 mAh battery capacity! Sorry, iPhone 11 (3110 mAh) but OPPO Reno2 has the day on this one (up to 25% more to be precise). Think of all you could do, from gaming to music to social networking and more - all without desperately searching for the nearby socket with eagle eyes. Well, the Reno2 gives you that freedom.

iPhone 11 does come with wireless charging and that gives it an edge over the Reno2. However, OPPO Reno2 comes with fast charging of VOOC v 3.0 fast charging which means you can charge your device in as little as 30 minutes and have it lasts as long as 24 hours.

PERFORMANCE

OPPO Reno2 has 100% more RAM (8 GB) than iPhone 11 has a RAM (4 GB). The winner in this category is already quite obvious as this also means that more apps can run at the same time on the OPPO Reno2. Aside from that, Reno2 has a ROM of 256 GB which can also be expanded up to 256 GB. Nothing short of amazing. iPhone 11 has a ROM of 64 GB, 12 GB and 256 GB - all dependent on pricing. More memory means more space for pictures, videos, music, applications and basically, whatever the hell you want on your phone.

You get the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 730 G with the Reno2 and the Apple A13 Bionic with the iPhone 11. Reno2 however, has the edge as it comes with the Octa-Core processor which gives you the avenue to multitask (open as many apps as you want) without slowing down the user interface. iPhone 11 comes with Hexa Core, which is not as fast.

On the other hand, iPhone 11 has a faster CPU (2.65 GHz) than the Reno2 (2.2 GHz) and this assures users of a smoother experience.

EXPERIENCE

Both phones are cool, from the cameras to the designs. OPPO Reno2 stands out with the Shark-fin camera while iPhone 11 impresses with its looks and the wide range of available colours.

OPPO Reno2 boasts of the under-screen fingerprint which is a really great feature by the way; it’s painless and takes less than a second to unlock your phone. It also supports the FM Radio which is a feature that is missing in the iPhone 11.

Another appreciable feature of the Reno2 is the presence of the 3.5mm jack enables you to connect to more than a few other devices (such as speakers) that have 3.5mm port as well.

On the other hand, iPhone 11 may not be such a practical phone to use but it does offer a smoother experience, in interconnectivity across Apple products, against the OPPO Reno2.

For experience, I would say that this is a draw.

PRICE

OPPO Reno2 costs N179,000 while the iPhone 11 price in Nigeria starts around N288,000. Your choice may depend on what you need the phone for, as both phones actually perform similarly and are both status conferring items in the society.

In terms of practicality, most people would pick the Reno2 over the iPhone 11 since they perform similar functions and what’s more, the OPPO Reno2 does have that wow factor when the Shark-fin selfie camera pops out.

For all it does, the OPPO Reno2 offers good pricing that the high climbing Nigerian can afford, coupled with all the features of a phone needed for the day to day events or activities. The iPhone 11 pricing? Not so practical, there are a couple of things you could do with the extra bucks saved when you do not buy an iPhone 11.
It’s all down to you, would you rather spend N320,000 (128 GB) than N179,000 (256 GB) on a phone that would give you similar quality as one with lesser pricing? Your guess is as good as mine

CONCLUSION

Taking into consideration the above categories, from the camera to the battery, design and other factors, the OPPO Reno2 and iPhone 11 do measure up to each other.

iPhone 11 brings a new dual-lens to the iOS family while the OPPO Reno2 creates a whole new experience for that the Android family has never experienced before. With price being a major factor in users’ choice, it would be wise for users to critically look at each phone and how they stand against each other but thereafter pick the one that would serve them to the maximum without emptying their pockets.

This is my story and I will appreciate if the mods can push it to front page so that others can read and learn from me, and I also need your honest comments and advice because you could be saving a drowning man.

I Am 29 years of age, a civil engineer by profession and a sanguine by temperament. Before my youth service @ age 24 I got my girl friend pregnant and I was scared of abortion so we decided to keep the baby with the full support of my mother and she agreed because I was an only son. After that, we proceeded to see her people with my mum and relatives to my girl friends village and we paid something on her head but didn't complete the whole traditional right, but this was not even the traditional wedding proper.

After that we saw ourselves as husbands and wife and we were living fine for sometime. After sometime, the relationship took a different turn as we were always fighting and didn't agree on even the slightest matter. I remember vividly one occasion we fought over a female colleague @ work who sent me a whatsapp message and why we fought was that she came to my work place and fought the young lady openly embarrassing me in the process in front of everyone.

There were times I would try to reconcile but she would blatantly refused, sometimes she will tell me she is fed up of this thing we call marriage and that she's looking for someone that I too should look for someone else.

Fast-forward I met a lady and one thing led to another and I started picking interest in her. It was never my intention to be with another woman but I don't have peace of mind and I feel I am loosing my mind.

Note: I haven't wedded in a church before or done a full traditional marriage. Here comes the question: would it be considered a divorce if I quit this union and marry this new lady?

I am full of unhappiness and pain and I don't want to live a life of endurance and pity. Pls nobody should pressure you into getting married, marriage is not a license to live a happy life. If you are single, I envy you.

Endless Borrowing Will Lead to Endless Sorrowing.

By Atiku Abubakar.

John Quincy Adams once said “there are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.” He may have very well been referring to Nigeria of the last three years.

Barely two weeks ago, I warned during my Founder’s Day lecture at the American University of Nigeria, Yola, that Nigeria had taken almost as much foreign debt in the last three years, as she had taken in the thirty years before 2015 combined. Now that is frightening. And very true.

Frightening, not just because of the amount, but because after such unprecedented borrowing, we have emerged as the world headquarters for extreme poverty and the global capital for out of school children. It begs the question: what were the funds used for?

I have said it time and again. The business of government is too serious to be left in the hands of politicians. We must all ask questions because if they throw away the future, it is not going to be their future they are throwing away, it will be all our futures.

The fact that Nigeria currently budgets more money for debt servicing (₦2.7 trillion), than we do on capital expenditure (₦2.4 trillion) is already an indicator that we have borrowed more money than we can afford to borrow. And the thing is that debt servicing is not debt repayment. Debt servicing just means that we are paying the barest minimum allowable by our creditors.

And while spending 50% of our current revenue on debt servicing, this administration wants to take further loans of $29.6 billion! To say that this is irresponsible is itself an understatement.

As a businessman, one of the very first things I learnt is that you do not take loans except you are expanding your business. Even as an individual, when your income cannot fund your lifestyle, you are challenged to grow your income, not your borrowings.

Even if this administration borrows $1 trillion, it will never be enough because their challenge is one of capacity. They are not using the funds they already have wisely. They do not need more debt. They need more intellectual capacity.

The money the Muhammadu Buhari administration wants to borrow to fund its Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) could be acquired without sinking the nation into further debt. All it requires is visionary leadership and business acumen.

In my economic blueprint, I said that rather than turn in regular losses (which it has consistently been doing), the best thing to do with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation is to reform it. Of course, the administration’s paid propagandists went into overdrive, accusing me of planning to sell the NNPC to my friends. But just last week, Saudi Arabia’s ARAMCO, the most profitable company in the world, took that route and almost broke the global stock market with the most successful initial IPOs in world history, bar none. Ironically, Saudi Aramco raised $29.4 billion via this IPO. Just the amount this administration wants to borrow.

That could have been Nigeria’s story, but for our failure of leadership. By reforming the NNPC, Nigeria can raise the $29.6 billion the Buhari regime wants to borrow, and we will raise the money without going into debt.

If we had taken that route, not only would we have attracted Foreign Direct Investment into Nigeria, but even better than investment, we would have attracted confidence in our economy, because it would have shown that we have a thinking leadership.

Take the example of the Nigeria Liquified Natural Gas company. This is a joint venture between the Nigeria government and the private sector. Yet, while the NLNG declares very handsome profits, in billions of dollars every year, the NNPC declares losses! This is proof that the NLNG model works, and the NNPC model does not.

Moody’s, the world’s preeminent rating agency, has just downgraded Nigeria. Ghana, a nation with only 15% of our population, now attracts more Foreign Direct Investment than Nigeria, and Rwanda, a country with less than 15% of our mineral endowment, has an economy that is growing at twice the rate of our economy. The problem is not revenue. The challenge is not Nigerians. The issue is leadership.

While there is scant information in the Medium Term Expenditure Framework for what the loan would be used for, I could not help but read a communication from the Presidency to the effect that one of such projects would be the digitalisation of the Nigerian Television Authority and other similar projects.

Spending revenue on such projects would be foolish, but spending loans in such a manner is nothing short of foolhardy. The Nigerian government does not have a good record of running businesses, and a public television network is unlikely to yield the type of income that would justify taking out loans to digitalise it. Besides, is that a priority, when we have 12 million children out of school? Like I said, capacity, not revenue, is the problem.

And in proof of this, I offer the example of how this administration took delivery of $322 million Abacha loot in 2018 and claimed it shared it out to poor Nigerians, only to obtain a $328 million loan from China, allegedly for ICT development the very next month. How do you share out $322 million and then borrow $328 million? Who does that? At the risk of repeating myself, it is clear that no amount of money, whether from revenue or borrowings, will be enough for an administration that lacks capacity.

So, what must Nigeria do now? Rather than profligate borrowing, what Nigeria needs to do is restore investor confidence in our economy. Key to that is respecting the independence of key institutions, such as the Judiciary and the Central Bank of Nigeria. Both of these institutions are now the captives of Buhari and his cabal, and though they are loathe to admit it, they cannot take one step without watching their backs.

Why are foreign investors leaving Nigeria for Ghana? The answer is that Ghana, unlike Nigeria, has learnt how to divorce key institutions from politics. The Ghanaian central bank enjoys a degree of independence that our own CBN can only dream of under the prevailing atmosphere. You will not hear Ghana’s leaders give flippant interviews overseas about their plans for the cedi, as Buhari has done in Europe about the Naira. It rang alarm bells because it is not the job of the executive to interfere in the role of the reserve bank.

Neither will you find Ghana’s leaders blatantly intimidating the judiciary by obviously setting up judges and invading courtrooms. Why would any investor come to Nigeria under such prevailing circumstances? Their thought would be that if they had industrial disputes, our courts, under this administration, could not be counted on to deliver impartial justice.

I was part of a team that paid off Nigeria’s entire foreign debt. I, therefore, cannot sit and watch an administration without vision squander our children’s future by taking and wasting loans that they do not even have the capacity to utilise properly.

Thank God for leaked memos that have exposed the lies this regime has told Nigerians about unprecedented revenues in the Federal Inland Revenue Service and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Now, we know that Nigeria is not poor because she is not making enough money. The truth is that Nigeria is poor because she is not making the right leadership decisions.

Thomas Jefferson said, “to preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.” Dear citizens of our beloved nation, this is a call to heed.

President Olusegun Obasanjo and I paid off this nation’s debt, and I will not stand idly by and watch while Nigeria is plunged into second slavery by those who only know how to reap where they have not sown.

Our youth must have something better to inherit from us than unsustainable debt fuelled by insatiable greed. That is why I call on the Senate of the National Assembly to show loyalty to Nigeria and reconsider its decision with regards to approving Buhari’s $29.6 billion loan request.

We need to pay heed to Benjamin Franklin’s advise that “he that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing”. I call on Nigeria’s youth to identify the Senator representing their senatorial zones and write to them, urging them to vote against this request. Do this, because it is you and your children that will pay back these loans that would be squandered by this ravenous cabal who do not have the word enough in their vocabulary.

Some people even believe that Children bring some blessings for their parents

Fear ladies that guilt trip men to marriage!!

Fear men that see marriage as a license to constant sex too!!!

All na misplaced priorities!!!

What is the minimum wage before? 18k. What about it today? 30k in some places and still 18k in many places. Many depended on that and were able to maintain their family and give their children education to higher level. Op is just starting, marriage can't stop him from achieving whatever he is determined to achieve, just a mere challenge.

Looking at the recent trend of things in the music industry, it looks like Olamide Adedeji popularly called Olamide Badoo is no more bad again as an artiste. Most especially in 2019 that is about to come to an end, it feels like his career is going to end with the year.

Olamide Badoo is an amazing artiste no doubt, he has done so well for himself as an artiste, as a businessman in music, has helped several people but it looks all that is about to become a history judging by the recent happenings, maybe it’s just that his season as an a-list artiste has ended.

Olamide came into the industry with a track titled ‘Eni Duro’, this track shook the music industry and he almost immediately rose to become one of the most sought after musician in Nigeria. He immediately continued with ‘Omo To Shan’ featuring Wizkid, both were everyone’s favourite at this time and this contributed to the success of the song. Olamide later got the name Young Erikina, he released songs and he became a household name in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.

Olamide, since then , has released hit songs back to back, has done several shows which were sold out, raised the likes of Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold, Chinko Ekun, YBNL Princess, Lyta, Picazzo Rap, Yomi Blaze, Fireboy DML to mention a few, even after having so many artistes to look after, Olamide still got time to release hit songs.

However, 2019 has not been a good year for the artiste, although traces of this were seen in 2018 but they weren’t so obvious as 2019. Olamide used to compete with the likes of Davido, Wizkid, other top artistes but now, an artiste that just came up yesterday is being talked about and listened to than Olamide Badoo.

In 2019, One can count the amount of songs Olamide released, unlike past years when Olamide released Albums almost every years, he didn’t release any this year, he only released singles that almost didn’t pass the roof of the studio where they were recorded.

It’s not enough to do music, one need to have a concrete plan to enable him or her enjoy longevity in the music industry because so many artiste come up every day and there is need for one to be strategic to ensure relevance for a long time.

Olamide has enjoyed fame on merit ever since but has done little to enjoy longevity. As much as people wants to dance, people get tired sometimes and wants to listen to something that has great meaning. Taking a look at 2face, Banky W, these people can’t release a song today without people getting to know it, they are legends already, their sound is unique and they have a very good line of lyrics but Olamide released some tracks which include Woske and Pawon this year and it was just short of expectation for some people.

The vulgar languages, even on his instagram page, some people had to unfollow him due to the content he was posting to promote the songs, he began posting ladies dancing naked, shaking their butt and his page was almost looking like a porn site. People believe things like this should occur with an upcoming artiste who is looking for attention not someone who has gotten the attention already.

Olamide didn’t win any notable award this year, he didn’t make any notable achievement this year and next year isn’t looking like a glorious one for him, looking at this, Olamide might never recover from the death of his career, however, I wish him well.

I thought I was the only one irritated by that. Someone who doesn't have 500k, and probably borrowed to get that 200k is talking about marriage, and will bring children into the world.
And we wonder why we are still a 3rd world country. It's not just about standard of living, but mentality as well.
An average millennial in a first world won't even dream about marriage without having a sizeable chunk of money in the bank and a blossoming career.
But here, someone wacking garri will sit down and think marriage is the next thing.
I think a time will come when kids will openly abuse their parents for bringing them into this world to suffer.

Teaching job is the best for a wife.
She leaves 7am and comes back by 2:30pm

She can use 1hr to rest or sleep, after which she enters the kitchen and prepare something for the family.

During holidays, she will be at home all through.
Wives/mothers should be home anything 4PM, not all these nonsense Carrer ladies that will be having board meetings even as late as 6PM.
Having a teacher as a wife and mother is bae.
All ye NCE and B.Edu girls, I'm coming for you..


NB: Im talking about reputable or public schools, not all these 15k private school ooo.
