Demilader pictured below nearly lost his life today after a pharmacist didn't give him a drug he came to his shop to buy and instead, asked him to buy the 'better' one he prescribed.


Read Demi's story below.

It is normal to have adverse reactions to medications.

This guy is making unnecessary noise.

If you read the side effects of some medications (some worse than the original ailment) sometimes you will be forced to avoid taking any medications.

Everyone reacts differently to medications. He is being ignorant.

I dont live in Mars, I am here on earth like u. There are no jobs back home. There are some other things that can be done, that's all I was saying. Niaja is torf and very torf. Op can teach in a small sch n save some money. We all overlook some small things. I taught in a small sch and sold home made groundnut, fufu to survive the hardship. It was torf. I have been there too. We need to learn not to depend on ppl. Maybe until it happens that ppl u depend on disappoint then we learn. I learned and I advise others I can not to. God will always show up. If he did for me, He will for the op. Op should jus let his bro be and jus look for somewhere else to channel his hard work to.

It would have been nice if you offered it as an advice instead of the condescending way you castigated in your earlier post.

A passenger will be better off taking Peace Mass Transit and die a cheaper death at N2,600. Then the family can add to the N10k saved to buy a befitting coffin.

OBAGADAFFI:
He didn't just lost 1b, he was debt ridden with properties confiscated.

No, bank will give him loans in such conditions.

As at that time he was also battling AP shareholders.

Remember Adenuga once ran out of the country.

I don't pity the these men.

/
And how did he spring back?
From printing money in his bedroom?
The connection he has is such that all that is required was to have the president call his debtors and they will back off.
Do you know why they are all A.G.I.Ps?

Do you remember how Ifeanyi Uba of Capital Oil sucked up to the Jobathan family and he was given a soft-landing from massive debts?

Did Otedola suffer some business mishap? Of course! Even in this Buhari's government, every one is a victim. Yet it doesn't negate the fact that the story was embellished to appeal to emotions.

No Nigerian will commit suicide because of business mishap. .Talk to the poorest of the poor Nigerians, he will tell you that death is not his portion.

You know very little about Femi otedola . When did he lose 1 billion us dollars ?
You guys just swallow these stories without using ur brains and that is why u always end up choosing the wrong leaders because u dont ask them sensible questions when they make their claims

/
Lol. A beg no mind am.

Someone who is worth $2b, even if he lost $1b (which by the way is by re-evaluation and not physical cash), is not starving.

Some people lose jobs and their lives go on a tailspin.
Otedola can walk into any bank in Nigeria and secure $1m loan in a heartbeat. Poor him!
There are some narratives that are interesting but Otedola's is not one of them.
\

yemmit90:
It is very possible, if you are a business man, you will understand him better.

I have my own part of this type of story to share someday.

/
He has multiple backup plans that you don't have.
That's all.
A cry in Banana island is not and cannot be equated to a cry in Ajegunle.
\

/
Lol.

The son of a former governor of Lagos state who built on the wealth and connectios of his father almost committed suicide?

Tomorrow Tinubu's son will tell you how he is a grass to grace story.

The fact is that Otedola has never experienced hardship in his life.

The new Range Rover products are pieces of garbage -- aesthetically appealing but a nightmare functionally. I refer to them as colossal waste of money. Any vehicle that depreciates from $90k to $15k after the 5-years lease is up has some untold stories.

humbledbyfaith:
hi family landers,

I am so depressed as of right now..

I have a bro who recently got married to his fiancée..

we were happy as a family until my bro's wife started interfering in between my bro and I..
it all started when I had an urgent need in school, I approached my bro with the most humble scenery one can ever imagine, his wife just cut me short, and said they was no money, I was shocked as my bro sided with her and said they was no money.
I took it in good faith and went away.
later that day ,when they were back from work,I overhead my bro talking to someone in his bedroom..
I went closer and behold my bro was talking to his wife sis asking her if she had seen the alert of the money he sent to her..immediately I heard that,I just sat on the floor and sobbed loudly..

I wonder why my bro will be treating me and my junior bro like this ,we are orphans (lost dad and mum the same day in a car accident)my bro is in jss3 in a public school(my bro's wife changed him with the pretext that they couldn't afford the private school fee).me,I'm in my final year in the university, just remaining my project and my final year school fees..
I am really depressed as my mates have already gone to nysc..

I can't go to anywhere because of clearance and my bro has turned a deaf ear to my appeal to set me up with something I can do to at least clear my self in school..
I am not a lazy person, God forbid that I be lazy but I don't have the necessary incentive to startup something..

I am just fed up with the whole scenario, I have thought of suicide, but ithat will be foolishness as my junior bro will be left in this world to suffer alone..

If my parents are seeing all that is happening, they should please intervene on our behalf because I'm almost giving up... ;'(

sorry for bothering you all with my trouble

/
How much do you need for your clearance?

\

Favored4gud:
Thats the problem with folks back home. Dependency life style is killing some folks!! you depend on you brother for something like say na your birth right. My guy, like u said you are not lazy, there are lots of things you can do to bring u some small change while you wait to go serve, teaching, sell food stuffs and all. I did it, hustled and learned depending on people won't get u nowhere unless God shows mercy. U need to wise up.

/
You are funny.
Perhaps you live in Mars.
Graduates cannot find jobs. Yet you expect an undergraduate to go out and snap a job with ease. Everyone needs help at some point in life. Stop acting or sounding as if you got life figured out because it hasn't thrown a curve ball your way.

d33types:
If this is true, then this government is the most hypocritical one since 1960. Talk about the so-called austerity measures.

You don't need 80 lawyers to win even if it's 20 cases ,except you want to intimidate and harass the judges by packing many lawyers per case
the most celebrated law case of all time involving OJ Simpsons and Johnny Cochrane didn't need 5lawyers

Modified We know it's not 80lawyers per case, it doesnt make it less wasteful. Lawyers can only deliberate on cases after investigations by EFCC, thereby making them idle pending investigations.

/
I am glad you corrected yourself.

By the way, OJ Simpson was defended by the so-called Dream Team comprised of nine attorneys led by J. Cochrane.

Consider the time, money and effort to get either degree.

Either way, their salaries suck.

But if you can turn either one into a profitable business, you will be ok.

The salaries depend on if you get paid at all. Apparently, salaries in arrears is an acceptable practice in Nigeria.

Your best friend will be your worst enemy.

Easy.
Tell her where you live.
Tell her you lied bc you want to settle down and want to make sure you are not dealing with a gold-digger. Thus you erred on the side of caution. But the fact that she was not fazed by the Abuja thing makes you love her more so much that you want to spend the rest of your life with her.

Then give her an option: If she doesn't like you anymore after this, that you will sincerely understand. And you wish her a good life. But if she can find a place in her heart to understand (especially with marriage being a lifelong committment) that you will be glad and honoured to plan a future with her because you love her so much. She is the (blablabla) of your life.

NB: The last paragraph is a mind-twisting, reverse psychology.

There you have it.
\
She may leave. But if the things i hear about scarcity of husbands is a fact, she will be back. Who knows? She may be keeping a secret too. Hopefully her secret wont be that she used to be a man.

There is a misconception that every parent is a good one.
Just as in anything else, there are good ones and bad ones.
If you are cursed with a bad one, it is very difficult to break the yoke.

I don't think anyone thinks that oil workers make a lot of money.
But considering that they earn such in Nigeria where most people will be glad to earn N200k/month, then it becomes clearer why they feel like kings.

From the OP's assertion, it seems that the illusion and mirage are self-inflicted. There is no rule that says that the timeline stated must be followed. Anyone earning such in Nigeria and still broke will still be broke even if earning N10m/month. It is known as living above one's means or worse, competing with the Jones.

There would have been at least 8 empty shells, a body in the morgue and "Blacks Lives Matter" protest going on right now.

I told you so about three months ago.

Usually it happens over the weekend so that by monday it will be too late for customers to act accordingly.

The smart ones moved their funds while folks were goading me to expatiate.

Well, there you have.

Hopefully all funds will be intact.

Sagging is a way for homosexuals to advertise their wares in prison. As many metrosexual men got back into the society, they brought the trend to the larger society, promoted by rappers who are mostly closet gays.
Most boys sagging have underlying homosexual tendency. They may not know or hide it. But such boys if offered the opportunity will most likely take it up in their rear end. They may try to deny it but when next you see that guy sagging, he is gay-- just waiting for the right time.
Ladies beware. This was exactly how it started in Atlanta. Folks thought it was just an expression until homosexuality blew out of proportion with more men preferring men and HIV/AIDS being the disease en vogue. Don't be a follower.

alienvirus:
Because they want to hide the truth. The truth is that Peace Mass Trainsit was involved in an accident. Their buses were involved in many accidents lately.

\
Did you say "lately"?

Peace Mass Transist has been known to kill many people everyday for years. They have the cheapest rates to any destination within Nigeria and that's why students, poor people and cheapskates patronize them. It is the surest way to die.

If your kin patronizes Peace Mass Transit, start saving up for coffin because sooner than anticipated, the inevitable will happen.

Keep counting. By December ending, Peace Mass will have eliminated thousands. It is not a secret anymore. They have the most reckless drivers in the whole commuters transport business.

US dollar is having its best time ever. Pound sterling got clobbered in the last two days. So did Euro. What is the current exchange rate of naira to the US dollar? My biggest disappointment is that Nigerians erroneously believe that Nigeria matters in the scheme of things. When G7 countries cough, shitty third world countries like Nigeria, etc catch cold. Okonjo Iweala and GEJ ran a voodoo economy supported by fictitious data. But like pregnancy, sooner than later the result will be there for everyone to see. Add all the funds looted so far (just a tip of the iceberg) and do tell how the economy will thrive when all the developmental funds ended up in private bank accounts.

yagganess:
my wife's father is late and mother is alive. Both my parents are still alive.

we want to work out how much money to send to the parents each month and the problem is she wants to send the same amount both ways. My issue with that is if we send the same amount both ways then one side will need to split the amount between 2 people, yet the other side is one person.

I feel that to make it fair we need to to send by person rather than the side of family. This way each parent gets the same amount of money

what are your thoughts

I think it depends on their needs. Are both parents on the same economic level? There are too many factors at play. One can argue that your wife's mother needs more help since she is doing it all alone. Conversely, two people sharing the same amount that her mother gets monthly could be seen as absurd. I think two of you should review the economic situations of both parents and reach a reasonable agreement.
Eg. If your wife's mother is raising 6 kids but your parents have all grown offsprings, the economic needs of both parents are not the same.

Give more to who needs more assistance. Each one of you may elect to give more from your personal savings.

NB: This is why I hate marrying from third world countries. The marriage always come with third party liabilities.

MarryMeee:
I have been with my husband for a while now and I can say we have been doing well for ourselves. But i have a problem with some relatives that are turning us into their atm machine. My husband has an uncle who has always had other people taking care of his children (5children from 3 different women) for him whilst he goes out to enjoy himself without a care in the world.

Last year my in laws asked us to take in one of his daughters so she could go to school in the city. I was hesitant at first since i did not know much about her or the father, but eventually I warmed up to the idea. Fast forward 6months later, I am sick and tired of it. She does not do her homework without being forced and sometimes she skips school. I have already been called 3times by her teacher making complaints about her attitude in class and her perfomance. If you do not dig for her homework from her bag she will not do it. This girl is already 11 and she is only in grade 4 and she bed-wets.

I do not usually resort to beating a child because I have told myself that should be the last resort, but at the same time I am tired of buying things for her because she is always destroying them. She will wear her best clothes to go play with mud outside and she has turned her school shoes in slippers. She is always losing her stationery and she has torn 2 of her school uniforms already. She once broke the toilet and we had to get a new (not toilet seat, i mean the actual damn toilet) and she broke the plasma in the living room barely 5months after we got it.

As if she is not a big enough headache, her father always finds himself in my house almost every month and he will not leave until you compensate him for coming to your house uninvited. Of course he will expect you to give him money and groceries to take home.

Everything has been frustrating my husband as well and he is considering taking the girl back to her father's house as soon as schools closes and to be honest i really do not have a problem with that, but my issue is that his family is against the idea because its not a christian thing to do (1Timothy 5v8)

To those who have been in the same situation, how did you resolve it amicably and where did you draw the line?

Because Nigerian politics started when buhari won? All the years of igbo domination in the politics of the 1st republic and pre-buhari democratic dispensation of obasanjo and yar'adua are not important? They need to the support the old dimwit buhari for them to be seen as good in politics? You are a bloody zombie. We know the set of people who are termed ''perpetual opposition'' in Nigeria.
Enjoy your rare 4-8 years in the buhari sun. It may take a long time before it returns again.

/
You are showing how ignorant you are.
Politics is all about interests. Igbo people play politics of emotion.
2nd Niger bridge, Federal Highways in the SE, etc. are interests they could have used as bargaining chips in 2015.
Instead, they gave out their support in a platter of gold. The truth is: Ijaw people hate Igbo people.
Sucking up to GEJ would never had changed anything and it did not.
Only the chameleons survive in politics.

NB: You just proved my point. You are already sulking and betraying your emotions instead of debating with reasons.
