candy: Oops, she was on holidays, staying with me for a couple of days when it happened! The darn insect was only in her ear for like 5 minutes.

oh... ok ok.

I now dig

candy: It happened to my niece who was staying with me for a couple of days. Being a religious person, I simply put a few drops of annointing oil in both ears and asked her to lie with the affected ear on the pillow. Within 5 minutes, she was relieved, it worked perfectly.

mmmm.... your niece is strong oh... couple of days?
I couldn't even take it for the few hours(not sure if it was actually upto an hour)
hehe.. thank GOD mine left sharperly

talk2riel: Shoprite or next cash n carry

ok
will try em out

talk2riel: The sugar coated brand of kuli does not give you the luxury of messing. Though I would have welcomed the chance to let out a little prumm- prumm-prumm

haha.
ok,
do you know any online retail out let I can get the sugar-coated brand?

ryom: The best bet is oil- olive oil, peanut oil, vegetable oil. It suffocates the insect. Water not so advisable as infection may ensue.

thanks for your contribution..

lirusehn: i washed it with Kerosene and Detol

oh.. i saw that among the remedies too.
but I don't trust kerosene

Onlinebizexpert: I removed the small creature by putting a large creature in my ears eg lizard

hahaha
don't tell me your ear lobe as large as that of an Elephant

I opened this thread for those who have ever gotten an Ant or any little creatured stucked in their ear(s) to share how they got it out and their experience.


I can remember some months back this year, I woke up early in the morning, let me say around 3-4 am to the sound n itches of some creature(i believe an ant) walkinh up n down the 'hills n valleys' of my ears.
Damn! I could not take it, I was like WTF?
what's going on? whats happening to me..?
I was filled with rage, infact I don't know what to do cause its not actually painful but the itches n sound that's lauder than an Opera house was disturbing.
my exhibition that morning, Only GOD knows, thanks to him that there was no cam recording cos it was funny n weird.

so in the midst of this I reached for my phone, straight to Google(one of my closest friends) and I got many answers n tips on what to do, some having frightening story like that of a small boy about 10, who was complaining of itches in his head n head ache, he later died and ants were found in his brain(my thought, so am gonna die?)... and many many more...

Now these are the remedies I saw online of which I applied(but not all)

1. pour/put some drops of water or oil(olive or anyother) into the affect ear and waite for the water to go in, then you lie on your side as letting the affected ear face down. I did this with water(no oil available) the whole till still persisted/continued!

2. use of cotten bud... infact I finished all at home but.. still the same thing.

3.use of a torch light/lamp.
I saw some guy's testimony on how he used the headlamp on his bike to flash towards the ear in the night so the ant will walk towards the direction of light(you know ants love light), and this seems efficient.
after reading this I reached for the reachable lamp at home n did it but no way.


but after sometime I couldn't hear anythinh from my ears like itching. thanks GOD! i exclaimed am free.


sorry for any typo cos am on mobile and in a hurry, will correct it later.


So any one who has experienced such should please share his/her experience n remedy for others and me too cos I don't know how it left.

Fourwinds: hahahaaaa...u are funny. stop watching his back

haha..
yep
I must obey that.
I'll stop.

hahahaha...
funny people... anyway there's sense it oh

talk2riel: Last friday On transit from zaria to kaduna at jaji motor park I couldn't resist the urge. I bought #100 worth of kulikuli.

hehe.
and you gave out how much worth of fart?

but the reverse is the case

OP am sorry this your article is damn long...

aarh I couldn't read it

davidsmith8900: When do u plan on trying it with mobile?

I've tried it but men... it refuses to work, lets waite n see what the other guy has to offer

davidsmith8900: hmmm.

yea

davidsmith8900: On Laptop did https://m.facebook.com and https://www.facebook.com work? Thats just the regular mobile facebook and desktop/laptop facebook.

non worked, it'll only connected(as shown @ the left corner) but doesn't browse.

it needs some tweaking

davidsmith8900: ok. Did it work?

on laptop NO
am yet to try it on mobile phone

Liamm: Good.


Oga seun, if we click the "share", will PDP share the money?

hahaha... you bad gan.
but seriously will they share the money?
Seun needs to answer

davidsmith8900: Oh okay. I dig.

yep

davidsmith8900: Please try it on your phone. On your laptop, u should be able to try:

1. https://0.facebook.com
2. https://m.facebook.com
3. https://www.facebook.com

oh oo....
i didn't put the 's' after the http, I over looked it,
let me check it again

davidsmith8900: Most likely the mobile view unless you put it into a desktop site. What device are you using to access it? A Desktop/Laptop/Mobile?

am yet to try it on phone, but I just did on my laptop but it didn't open

davidsmith8900: You can play tic-tac-toe tho. U should.

the question is....
do I like that game?
talk of some interesting 2D games(maybe adventure type)

davidsmith8900: Yeah, it probably wont work with games.

yea

Donkunxex: DAT was wat I did... put off d images on or browser tho

ok, I'll try n see if it works, can it load javascript content? like will it load the desktop view of fb?

davidsmith8900: But do u know how to access Facebook Zero? Here is the link for that ~> https://0.facebook.com . Facebook Zero (is zero data charges but it is only text-based. Once you click on images/pictures, it is no longer free). Still, I think the op made a software that connects Facebook Zero to other websites or web apps so now if you don't have money to browse the internet or you dont have money for credits but you want to see whats going on the internet or you want to do a google search or you want the latest news, or you want to apply to a job in a different area or u want to come on Nairaland or you want to play games and you don't have the money, you can use the op's app, that connects Facebook Zero to these other websites or web apps for free, but it is all text-based.

nice thing... I'll like it... he should make it available then. I don't think it'll work with the game aspect since its all text based

Donkunxex: no software..just my Mtn sim

ok, you mean, if I just go to 0.facebook.com from my phone it'll just open?

davidsmith8900: I really dont know, but the op (@toshodei) said he/she got it. Let's wait till the op gets back online.

ok, I'll be waiting too

Donkunxex: It works... I jst used it... Nairaland should also do there's now

bro can you give me the software and settings you used n which network.
I want to try out something...
awaiting your reply..

toshodei: Ive come up with a way (software) to access the internet (Free Internet With Only Text Browsing, because images/pictures will cost data charges) through Facebook Zero (https://0.facebook.com). There is also 'Twitter Zero' according to this ~> http://techcrunch.com/2014/05/29/twitters-emerging-market-strategy-includes-its-own-version-of-a-facebook-zero-like-service-called-twitter-access/ . Still, my only problem is that I dont know what most Nigerians (or all Africans in general) use the internet for, since there is no data online concerned with this demographic. Do many use it for:

A. Communication/Sharing/Socializing?
B. Looking for Jobs?
C. Getting News or Information around the world?
D. Gaming?
E. Education?
F. Entertaiment, Movies & Videos?
G. Buying a product or Consumerism?
H. Something else?

So Im interested if people can give me a feedback on what they use the internet for, as well as how people feel about accessing free internet (With Only Text Browsing) through https://0.facebook.com or https://0.twitter.com . Thank You, Good Morning Everybody, Happy Monday & Have A Great Successful Week Ahead.

for me I use the internet for information n some little download.
and what is that your software?

davidsmith8900: Im thinking that what the op means is that if you HAVE MONEY and want to use facebook to see images and do the regular things, then go to regular www.facebook.com or m.facebook.com. However if u DON'T HAVE MONEY and u want to browse the internet, or get some info from the internet or see who is hiring or to play games or to download things, then u can do that for free by using the app/software which uses facebook zero (0.facebook.com). Like not everybody has enough money to access to the internet all the time.

bro what's the software
