Do not put bitter kola water—or any homemade solution—into your mom's eyes. It will not cure glaucoma, and doing so can cause severe eye infections, chemical irritation, or permanent vision loss.
Glaucoma is a serious condition where pressure inside the eye damages the optic nerve. Once vision is lost to glaucoma, it cannot be reversed, but treatment can stop or slow down further damage.
The Truth About Bitter Kola
No scientific cure: There is no clinical or scientific evidence showing that bitter kola (or its extract) can cure or treat glaucoma.
Infection risk: Soaking plant material in water creates a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and fungi. Applying this to an eye—especially one already compromised—can cause serious bacterial or fungal keratitis (corneal ulcers), leading to rapid blindness.
Herbal remedies vs. medical care: While some plants contain anti-inflammatory or antioxidant properties, they cannot safely lower intraocular pressure (the fluid pressure inside the eye) in a controlled way.
Understanding the Treatment Options
"Fixing" glaucoma does not always require an expensive, upfront surgery costing hundreds of thousands in local currency (such as NGN).
Medicated Eye Drops: For the majority of patients, glaucoma is managed using prescription daily eye drops that lower eye pressure. These are ongoing, low-cost monthly medications rather than a massive single payment.
Laser Therapy or Surgery: Advanced procedures (like SLT laser treatment or trabeculectomy) are usually reserved for cases where eye drops aren't enough or aren't tolerated.
Next Steps to Support Your Mom
Seek a Second Opinion at a Public or Teaching Hospital: Private clinics often quote high costs for surgical procedures right away. Specialist eye clinics at government, public, or university teaching hospitals typically offer significantly lower costs for consultations, diagnostic scans, and prescription eye drops.
Ask for Prescription Eye Drops: Speak directly with an ophthalmologist about non-surgical management options, specifically asking for low-cost generic pressure-lowering drops.
Explore Patient Assistance Programs: Look into local medical subsidies, non-profit vision foundations, or government health insurance schemes that cover chronic eye conditions.

My gf of seven years has been giving me attitude recently which I noticed sometimes last year. I observed that she always check my phone to look for something to hold against me. Yes, she suspected that I'm having something with someone. So, every time she's around me, she always find one or two thing that will lead to argument and all that. Aside that, the respect, love and intimacy between us reduced drastically.

Fast forward to this year, She successfully read a chat on my phone where I was talking dirty with someone. That's the genesis of the whole mess I'm in right now. She just walked out quietly and decided to end it all. Since then, I've not been myself because this is the person I have planned to live the rest of my life with. So, I started begging her but she's not giving me any green light. I called, messaged her but no response. I asked my Junior brother to beg on my behalf but she didn't succumb to that not until my dad intervened to apologize on my behalf.

So, she call me that we need to see. I rushed to visit her and apologize again and again. She agreed to continue with the relationship but she hasn't forgiven me. After few weeks of the whole issue. I suspected that she's hiding something from me. Then one fateful night, I spy on her phone when she was unlocking her phone. That night, I was able to access her phone while she was asleep.

I checked her WhatsApp, I discovered that she has been clearing her chat with one particular guy who happens to be her friend from NYSC since 2021. They became close as they both work in the same financial institution but in a different branch. Then I went further to her Instagram page to see what's going there.

To my greatest surprise, I discovered that they have been having an affair since 2023. My gf has been throwing herself to this guy, they have been going to the cinema together and other places. On her birthday, my babe and this guy went out together without my knowledge, they both book uber to somewhere without my knowledge, they were both sharing their feelings online, talking about marriage, how to raise their kids irrespective of their religion differences and my babe even throwing herself to the guy for sex. Everything thing I found in their chat especially how my babe has been treating this guy with love and respect is the opposite of how my babe has been treating me lately.

So, I screenshoted all the evidence and save on my phone. I then challenged her that she's cheating on me with that guy but she blatantly denied it. Not until I showed her all the evidences with me before she began to cry fowl and started debunking all I saw. She claimed that they are not true, they were just playing and not into any thing serious. They are friends and that's how they banter each other online. All her excuses were not genuine but I still forgive her on one condition that I don't want to see her with the guy again and she should cut off any form of friendship or relationship between them because I had done something more than that to her just recently and she forgive me.

Meanwhile, during the cause of this issue, I proposed to my gf that we should take this relationship to the next level by seeing her parents this year and maybe by the end of the year, we do the whole thing. The shock response I got from her was that she's not in a rush to settle down with me. Not even this year as she's just healing from the heartbreak I caused her and I can't use marriage to tie her down then I continue breaking her heart. There's no how I tried convincing her that I am a changed man now as I am ready to take responsibility and be a responsible person.

After few weeks, I logged into her whatsapp on my system and then again I found out that she's still talking to this guy and they were even planning on going out again. I got angry and send proof to her but guess what, my babe para for me for cloning her whatsapp on my system. Hell almost let lose that evening. This time around, she felt unapologetic about the primary issue that I warned her to desist from. Funny enough, after close observation, I learnt that they move their chats from whatsapp to Snapchat where their chat is just "view once". Then I knew that this lady is not ready to stop talking to this guy. I have shouted over and over this matter but this time around, my babe is now feeling lackadaisical about this issue.

Right now, my babe is now comfortable with the guy and she's now sitting on defense about this matter. In our last conversation, my GF literarily told me that she doesn't love me anymore. And then she started rewinding all my past during the cause of the relation and using it as an excuse for not been able to love me like she used to. In our conversation, the only thing she didn't mention is that we should go on our separate ways (break up) but everything she said to me indirectly simply means that she is done with me.

I felt unloved as this is the woman I never placed anyone above, this is the woman I've nurtured when we were in school and outside school. I respected her and love her so much that she has become part of me. My parents, family and friends are expecting us to tie the knot soon but here is my babe telling me she's not in love with me anymore. I felt unloved about this whole thing and I'm heartbroken.

I am lost and crying inside silently as I never expected someone I have sacrificed something huge for before to be acting like this to me. I'm depressed. I need mature advise from you guys. Thank you.

You better move on with your life before I curse you.

Different God, different cultures, different believe.
Welcome to Africa. Poor Africa

.I think we Africans should sit up and put religion aside because at the moment it have caused more harm than good.
Let's just do what we believe is right and the government especially needs to put the people first before religion
