Except it is Nigeria that is playing, I hate football.

Fine

That road needs permanent urgent attention!

Was it killed because of the swallowing or people killed it?

It is very easy, you have an over active metabolism. All you have to do is eat like 7 times a day. You will not believe yourself again after a while. But watch for the health problems of overeating ooo.

Mrskillz1:
I am from a family of three. I have two brothers. One older and the other younger than me so I'm the only girl in my family.

I grew up seeing my Mom mad.
By my teen age, I got admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe University alongside my elder brother who was to study Engineering. By the time I was in my finals, my brother was getting ready for IT. One day, his roommate sent for me, he said they couldn't sleep the night before because my brother was talking to himself. Before we knew what was happening, my brother was getting violent and so we took him home and he never got back to finish school.
I proceeded with my education and finished. Went for NYSC. While serving the nation, My Mom died. When I got home, she'd been buried.
But my brother was still mad.

I later got job, took my brother to a Psychiatric hospital and the doctor after examining him said he is Schizophrenic. He was asked to stay in the hospital.
I paid. He then stayed there for one month. When I came to visit him, he pleaded with me to take him home that he didn't like it there.

So I took him home. Every month, I buy drugs for him and he gets injected. He usually puts up a fight but with the help of my younger brother, neighbors and a certain nurse, he receives the injection, forcefully and against his will.
Often times, he pleads with me not to inject him, the very time I obliged him, he scattered things, didn't allow the neighborhood sleep, talked throughout some nights and wouldn't eat sometimes. He looked really sick then but with the injection, one will hardly know he's not normal.
I told him that I won't let him miss his injection ever again.

Now, on Monday, my younger brother woke up and was unusually quiet. He normally wakes up and begins to play music with his phone or he will turn to football channel and watch until I leave for work. But I didn't go to work on Monday and I noticed he was quiet, then I asked him why he's quiet. He didn't respond. After some hours, I asked my Dad if he feels he's okay, My Dad said that he wants to be quiet and that I should let him be.

Then, that night, around 4am, my brother began to talk. He was shouting and some of the things he said were not coherent. He talked out of point. I and my Dad, with my elder brother surrounded him and I couldn't help crying when my Dad was cautioning him to keep quiet and he refused.
Neighbours thought it was my elder brother's voice they'd heard that night but by the time they heard in the morning that it was my younger brother, they visited my Dad in the evening. By then, my brother was still talking and even burnt his clothes yesterday.
My Dad got a few guys to chain him because he was violent yesterday when I left the house.
I know the problem is spiritual. I have prayed, fasted for my elder brother and now this!
I'm so unhappy.

Can someone suggest a place I can take my two brothers to so they can be cured, please.

OP please can you tell me the name of the injection that is working for your younger brother. Please! I have someone close to me with the same condition and the oral medicine he is using is not working. Please help with the name so I can at least mention it to the medical person treating him to consider the injection.

Ajibel:
You're the clueless one here

You dey mind him?

Funke Akindele should be there!
She is one of the best film producers in Nigeria today.

God pls save Nigeria!
This man is obviously an Islamic extremist.

It is very pathetic! That is the country we find ourselves. Work harder and make more money to leave that neighborhood. I am a freelancer too and I have over 100 clients, I also blog and am a youtuber. I only mingle with the elites in my neighborhood (who I can explain to and will understand). To others, I am at a distance so they know I am self employed but they don't know what it is.

Now, I advertise my freelance business everywhere I am, so many people now gets to know what I do.

Great. They should only ensure the services' cost are inexpensive.

Every form of birds. I am not scared of them but I can't touch or carry them unless of course they are in the soup(yummy lol).

Also snakes.

Some wild looking animals eg chameleon, cucurpine (or how is it spelt?), etc

Puff puff roll.

CandyOps:
This is a hard one because it depends on a couple of stuffs like- what kind of sharwama and pizza do you want to compare. I mean there is Chicken, Beef, Fish, and even goat-meat sharwama.

Same with Pizza.. there is Suya flavor, chicken, tomatoes, chicken Peri Peri, and the rest.

Another factor to look at is the cook. Who prepare am? I noticed Dominos pizza doesn't do it for me. In fact, the first time I took pizza it was Dominos and it really made me hate it.

Then I took Debonair's Pizza and it actually blew my mind. So you see, it's kinda hard to judge. Except you go carry both of them come make I taste am.

Ok. Now I'm hungry

I agree with you. I will still go for shawama

Pizza's taste depends on several factors. It is hard to get a really tasty pizza in Lagos. I have eaten shawama from a couple of places and I still enjoyed them way better than pizza.

Depends on the location

I have contacted a law firm against Mr Harrison and his company hocorn. I was told to wait till May, 2021 the date they gave me. If payment isn't made then they will swing into action.

Nairaland is very slow. Pls move to a better server seun

It is well with Nigeria

Ok

Ok

Condolences to the family. May God keep the Lagos he helped build. (Eko oni baje ooo)

Buy Infinix, run away from Umidigi. I had to return the one bought for my kid brother.

My advice is to try as much as possible to stay away! Even if you escape coming down with psychosis, the use of marijuana is linked to depression, aggressive behavior, confusion and high level of anxiety. All these can later result into schizophrenia (a type of mental sickness characterized with severe hallucinations)

Several studies have linked marijuana use to increased risk for psychiatric disorders, including psychosis (schizophrenia), depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders, but whether and to what extent it actually causes these conditions is not always easy to determine.

Recent research suggests that smoking high-potency marijuana every day could increase the chances of developing psychosis by nearly five times compared to people who have never used marijuana. The amount of drug used, the age at first use, and genetic vulnerability have all been shown to influence this relationship.

Zinc is a trace element that is useful for a strong immune system. A deficiency of zinc can make someone more susceptible to disease, infections and illness. The element is naturally found in many different foods, but it is also available as supplements.

Zinc is an important aspect of nutrition. You can be deficient of Zinc if there is not a high enough consumption from your food or supplement. Deficiency in children can lead to growth impediments and increased risk of infection. During pregnancy and lactation, women may need more zinc. Zinc helps create new DNA, promotes healthy growth during childhood, and help the body heal from wounds.

Below are some of the health benefits of zinc:

1) Zinc helps regulate immune function
Zinc shortage can brutally weaken the body’s immune system function.
A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition says, “zinc-deficient persons experience increased susceptibility to a variety of pathogens.”

2) Zinc helps in wound healing
Zinc helps in maintaining skin integrity and structure. Patients experiencing chronic wounds often have deficient zinc metabolism and lower blood zinc levels. Zinc is often used in creams for treating diaper rash or other skin irritations in children.

A Swedish study concluded that, “topical zinc may stimulate leg ulcer healing by enhancing re-epithelialization, decreasing swelling or tenderness and stop bacterial growth.

3) Zinc and fertility
Several Studies have linked low zinc blood level with low sperm quality and male infertility. For example, it was found that patients had a higher sperm count after zinc sulfate and folic acid supplementation.

4) Zinc for treating diarrhea in children
The World Health Organization, says diarrhea kills about 1.6 million children under 5 every year. A 10-day course of zinc tablets is effective at treating diarrhea and also helps prevent future occurrences of the condition.

5) Zinc helps in learning and memory
Research has shown that zinc has a crucial role in regulating how neurons interconnect with one another, affecting how memories are formed and how we learn.

6) Zinc helps treat the common cold
Zinc (lozenges or syrup) is useful in reducing the extent and severity of the common cold or flu in healthy people, when taken within 24 hours of onset of symptoms.

(7) Other possible benefits of zinc

Zinc may also be effective for the treatment of:

- osteoporosis
- preventing and treating pneumonia
- acne
- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Foods Containing Zinc
The best sources of zinc are animal meats, nuts, fish, beans, raw oysters, beef, crab, lobster, pork, rice, peas, yogurt, peanuts, whole grain cereals and dairy products.

Zinc is also added to some breakfast cereals and other fortified foods.

Zinc supplements are also available in the form of capsules and tablets which are available for purchase in many pharmacy stores.

However, It is better to obtain your daily zinc requirements from foods, and then use supplements as a backup if necessary.

Signs of zinc deficiency

Anyone deficient in Zinc may present with the following signs:
- loss of appetite
- anemia
- slow wound healing
- skin conditions such as acne or eczema
- abnormal taste and smell
- depressed growth
- diarrhea
- hair loss
- Zinc deficiency during pregnancy may increase the chances of a difficult or prolonged birth.

Let us explore the factors that increase a person’s chances of contracting or having severe symptoms from Covid-19:

1. Age:
Researches conducted in China confirmed that people over 60 are at the maximum risk of experiencing severe symptoms from Covid-19. Examples of symptoms defined as severe are trouble breathing, fever, confusion and other symptoms that require immediate medical attention.

This is why the Disease Control Units of different countries encourage people in this age group to be extra careful not to contract the disease.

2. Other existing medical conditions
People with underlying medical conditions like diabetes, heart disease, cancer etc are more likely to have severe symptoms of Covid-19, than people with no underlying health conditions. These people are also more likely to easily contract the virus.

3. Sex
Male folks have been seen to be more susceptible probably due to lifestyle issues.

4. Gene
Certain genes have also been found to be more susceptible.

5. Immune System
The duty of the immune system — a collection of body chemicals, structures and processes within the body — is to defend against disease or other possibly destructive foreign bodies.

6. Previous Immunization
Research shows that Countries in which people were mandated to receive the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine, one of the first vaccines used to combat tuberculosis, had fewer cases and deaths from Covid-19.

I like d name Ireti. What does it mean?

Ireti means HOPE

You might have heard that the potency of our immune system can determine how susceptible we are to a viral infection. COVID-19 as a viral infection is not an exception to this truth. Having a strong immune system can actually reduce your chances of contracting the COVID-19 infection or lessen the severity of your symptoms.

Though most people infected with the coronavirus—81%, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—will experience few or mild symptoms, others may find themselves relying on a ventilator to breathe. This, according to various researches may be due to the strength of the victims’ immune system.

Listed below are research backed things people can do to improve their immune system.

Do these to strengthen your immune system:

1. Get enough sleep: Science has linked sleep deprivation with all kinds of health complications, from weight gain to a weakened immune system. Infection-fighting soldiers known as antibodies and cells are reduced when you deprive yourself of sleep. But sleep shouldn’t be more than 10 hours in a day for an adult.
2. Avoid Stress: Stress reduces the immune system’s ability to fight off antigens. That is why we are more susceptible to infections during a stressful period.
3. Eat Right: Eating a diet with a lot of fruits and vegetables has been another advice given by medical experts for boosting our immune system.
4. Supplement:
a. Vitamin C: A doctor in the United States, gives his coronavirus patients high doses of vitamin C and he said it’s helping. Whether this is true or not we do know that Vitamin C is one of the vitamins sited at the center of the boost of our immune system.
b. Zinc: Zinc is also important since it does play a critical role in cell function in your immune system.
c. Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant and has an ability to modulate host immune functions. Several researches suggest that vitamin E is an important nutrient for maintaining the immune system, especially in the aged.

Note: Talk to your doctor before taking any supplement in high dose, especially if you have another health condition. Other antioxidant supplements include Vitamin A, Vitamin E etc.

5. Exercise Regularly: Regular exercise has also been found to naturally boost our immune system.
6. Take Garlic and Ginger: Similar to supplements, herbs like garlic and ginger have been known to help boost our immune system.
7. Quit Smoking and reduce alcohol consumption
8. Maintain a healthy weight
