Tattoos might be more common than ever, but you should understand the basic safety precautions and aftercare of your tattoo. 

From the Tahitian “tatau” which means to mark or strike, the word tattoo refers to some of the traditional modes of application where ink is “tapped” into the skin by using sharp sticks or bone. Certain peoples in the Arctic used a needle to pull carbon-embedded thread under the skin which creates linear designs. Other persons have however, cut designs into the skin and then rubbed the incisions with ink or ashes.


Tattoo are also permanent marks or designs made on the body by the introduction of pigment through ruptures in the skin. Sometimes the term is also loosely applied to the inducement of scars (cicatrization). Tattooing proper has been practiced in most parts of the world, though it is rare among populations with the darkest skin colour and absent from most of China. Tattooed designs are thought by various peoples to provide magical protection against sickness or misfortune, or they serve to identify the wearer’s rank, status, or membership in a group. Decoration is perhaps the most common motive for tattooing.
If you want to get a tattoo, you should understand that tattoos are permanent. Tattoos are difficult to remove, expensive to remove and may not be completely removed.

Before you get a tattoo, you should make sure you have had all your immunizations (especially hepatitis B and tetanus shots). If you have a medical problem such as heart disease, allergies, diabetes, skin problems like eczema or psoriasis, a weak immune system, or a bleeding problem, talk to your doctor before getting a tattoo. Also, if you get keloids (an overgrowth of scar tissue) you probably should not get a tattoo.

Most times, having a tatoo may hurt your chances of getting a job or advancing your career. If you get a tattoo, career coaches recommend you get one that's easy to cover with work clothes.


What Else Should I Know before I Get Tattoos?

You should protect yourself against infection if you decide to get a tattoo. You should make sure the tattoo studio is clean and safe, and that all equipment used is disposable (needles, ink, gloves) and sterilized (everything else). 

Ask the tattoo studio if they use single-use needles and sterilize all equipment using an autoclave (a device that uses steam, pressure, and heat for sterilization).

You should see needles and other equipment removed from sealed, sterile containers.

Ask if the studio uses one-time ink cartridges that are disposed of after each customer.

Ask if the tattoo artist a licensed practitioner.

They should be able to provide you with references.

Does the tattoo studio follow universal precautions?

These procedures help in dealing with blood and other body fluids to help prevent the spread of HIV, hepatitis B, and other serious blood infections.

If the studio looks unclean, if anything looks out of the ordinary, or if you feel in any way uncomfortable, find a better place to get your tattoo.

A tattoo is a permanent mark or design made on your skin with pigments inserted through pricks into the skin's top layer. Typically, the tattoo artist uses a hand-held machine that acts much like a sewing machine, with one or more needles piercing the skin repeatedly. With every puncture, the needles insert tiny ink droplets.

Getting a tattoo hurts, but the level of pain can vary. It can feel like scratching, burning, stinging, or tingling. Some people feel sharp pains, others may describe the feeling as dull. The amount of pain you feel will depend on your pain threshold and other things, including where on your body you're getting the tattoo, the size and number of needles being used, and the artist's style (some are quick and some work more slowly, some are more gentle than others).

Ofcourse

A will is a testamentary document or instrument voluntrily made and executed according to the law by a testator who has testamentary capacity wherein he disposes of his properties and gives further instruction to be carried out as as deems fit. It contains the intention or the wishes of a person which is carried out after his death.


A will is testamentary as it takes effect after the death of a person and it is ambulatory as it can be altered during the lifetime of the testator.


IMPORTANCE OF MAKING A WILL

The importance of making a Will cannot be overemphasised.

1. It displaces the rules of customary rules of inheritance.

2. It displaces the application of the Rules of of statutory devolution.

3. The testator has the satisfaction that his property will be managed properly.

4. The testator can benefit those who are jot his family when he make a will and with this, he can gain satisfaction.

5. The testator can appoint the persons he trusts as testator.

6. Where the testator has an infant, he can appoint guardians for them.

7. The power of the executor to manage the estate of the testator arises immediately the testator dies.

8. Making a Will gives the testator the opportunity of making specific gifts or donations like charity. 

9. The testator can give his final directives. 7 clear days should however pass after his death before the directives are carried out. This number of days is dependent on the jurisdiction in question. 

10. It is easier to administer the estates of a deceased person who made a will than when the person didn't make a will.

11. It saves time and energy as well as reduces friction among beneficiaries. 

12. Making a Will can guarantee business interest or sustain investment of the testator.

WHY PEOPLE DON'T LIKE MAKING WILL

Most people don't make will because they think it can cause chaos among their dependents and they most times don't believe in the Judicial System. There is also the conflict between culture and the will they make. 

Ignorance also plays a part in people not making wills.


WHAT IS A CODICIL?

A Codicil is a miniature or supplemental will attached to a previous valid will.  For there to be a Codicil, there should be an earlier made will. The will cannot be read in full without the Codicil which was made with the will.


EFFECT OF A CODICIL

- A Codicil revokes a will

- A Codicil adds or alters a will

- A Codicil revives a will

- A Codicil republishes a will


It should be noted that when making a Codicil, the testator must follow all procedures done to a will while drafting the Codicil. 


WHAT ARE TERMS TO A WILL/CODICIL CALLED?

A male that makes a Will is called Testator. 

A female that makes a Will is called Testarix/Testatrices.

Testator is where a person dies making a Will.

Intestate is when a die without making a Will.

Beneficiary is a person who benefits from the gift given from a Will.

Executors are persons appointed by the testator to manage the property after his death.

Executrix/Executrices are female persons appointed by the testator to manage his property after his death.

Administrators are persons appointed by the court to administer the estate of a person who dies without making a Will. Administrators administer the Intestate estate.

Goodluck to him.

I pray he win

We should ready our PVC

Ahead of 2023 general elections, a former councilor who represented the people of Umuchioke at Ehime Mbano legislative council, Hon. Ogoke Alexander Nzeadi has formally declared interest to contest the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, primaries for the Ehime Mbano Constituency seat in the State House of Assembly. Ogoke while making a public declaration of his aspiration, said after due consultation with leaders, party faithful, community leaders, family ,friends and well-wishers, he decided to make his intentions public.

Ogoke noted that he is eminently qualified to speak for the people of Ehime Mbano and has the legislative experience and contacts to provide quality representation to the people at the State Assembly.
He said he would not only attract development to Ehime Mbano but also make sure that he introduces a sustainable economic empowerment for the youths and ensure the aged of the constituency are taken care of.

Speaking on the primaries, Ogoke stated that he was the youngest and only under thirty (30) aspirant in the race. He said “Over the past years, my people have been poorly represented and that is why you see people of high caliber showing interest to be the flag bearer of our party, which is the party to beat. I wish all of us a good run, but I’m convinced that I have the capacity to swing the odds and secure victory for our party. Ehime Mbano needs a youth who can communicate in a language majority (youths) of Ndi Ehime understands."
He continued "We need to give hope to the younger generation and make them understand that they are part of the political process."
He called on the party delegates to support him, maintaining that their individual and collective support was required to actualize his ambition.

Ahead of the 2023 elections, National Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Mohammed Suleiman has called on young Nigerians to contest for elective positions under the PDP.
Suleiman stated this in an event organised for young people vying for legislative offices both at the state level and national level.

He said, “I’m not campaigning here, but let me tell you the truth, we are the only political party that has a youth leader in Nigeria. So, if you want to vie for any position as a young man, I think you should vie for it under the platform of the PDP.
“I assure you to go out and contest for these positions but please make sure you are on ground politically. Focus on the grassroot and continue with your ambition.”

The “Not Too Young To Run” campaign led by a coalition of youth advocacy groups reflected the general population’s appetite for younger leaders as a 2017 survey showed a majority of Nigerians hope to elect a president younger than 50.

To differentiate themselves from older generation politicians, young aspirants are trying to do things differently, they are trying to meet and see the grassroot as their strong hold, to meet individuals and to relate with them unlike what they term "the old and die in office mentality of politicians" who are in office and do not carry the youth along. The young aspirants have risen to hold onto the saying that youths are the leaders of tomorrow.

Nigerian senate voted to lower the age limit for contesting for elections for the offices of state governors and president. The age limit for candidates for president has been reduced from 40 to 35 and, for governorship positions, from 35 to 30.

Nigeria is a particularly young country with a median age of 18. UN predicts that while 2.2 billion people could be added to the global population by 2050, Africa will account for more than half of that growth. Nigeria will account for some of that growth spurt as it is projected to become the world’s third largest country with a population of over 300 million.

Ogoke Alexander Nzeadi is contesting under the platform of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP).

The category of persons who institute criminal proceedings in the Nigerian legal system is different from those who Institute civil proceedings in Nigerian.
This difference includes persons who can institute such matters, the relief, remedies or what orders the court can make.
Those who can institute criminal proceedings in Nigeria.
Under criminal proceedings in Nigeria, there are four categories of persons who can institute such matters in court. They are

1. The Attorney General whether of any state in the country or the Attorney General of the Federal. 

2. The Police. 

3. Private Persons.

4. Special Prosecutors.

The Attorney General.
The powers of the Attorney General of the Federation as it relates to instituting criminal matters are contained in section 150 of the Constitution of Nigeria 1990 while the poswers of the Attorney General of the various states in Nigeria to institute criminal matters are contained in section 195 of the Constitution of Nigeria 1990.
To be qualified to be the Attorney General, the person should be a legal practitioner in Nigeria for at least 10 years.
The offices of the Attorney General of both federation and state is the creation of the statute and as such, they are juristic personalities, with perpetual succession.
The person who occupies the position plays a dual role as being the Attorney General of either the state or the federation and also of being the commissioner of justice in states or the minister of justice in the federal level.
The Constitution of Nigeria empowers the Attorney General to institute and commence criminal proceedings. Sections 174 and 211 of the Constitution of Nigeria 1999.
They are empowered to institute, undertake, take over, Continue and discontinue any criminal proceeding at any stage before judgement is given. This power is against any court and against any person. 
It should however be noted the Attorney General does not have power where it involves court martial. 
The Attorney General has the powers to prosecute unless it delegates such powers. This is according to section 104 and 106 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015.
The powers of the attorney of the state to institute a matter is confined to the instituting of matters in relation to an offence created by law of the state. Section 211 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria. 
The Attorney General of the federation cannot institute or prosecute state offences.  The Attorney General of the state cannot also conduct prosecution if the law backing such is created by the Act of the National Assembly unless with the permission of the Attorney General of the Federation by fiat. Section 268 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015.
Where the Act is created in a manner to operate as state law, the Attorney General of the State does not need any express delegation by the Attorney General of the Federation. 
The powers of the Attorney General to institute and undertake criminal matters are sacrosanct and such powers cannot be curtailed by means of an injunctive relief by court.
The Attorney General can delegate such powers has has it relates to criminal proceedings to officers working under him in his office.  Section 211 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria; section 104 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015.
Where the Attorney General delegates such powers to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), the Director of Public Prosecution cannot delegate such powers to his subordinates. This is under the latin maxim DELEGATUS POTEST NON DELE GARE.
In the absence of an incumbent Attorney General, officers of his office can carryout any function but not that of NOLLE PROSEQUI.
WHAT IS NOLLIE PROSEQUI?
Nolle prosequi is a Latin phrase, which directly translates to “not to wish to prosecute.” 
Nolle prosequi is a legal notice or entry of record that the prosecutor or plaintiff has decided to abandon the prosecution or lawsuit.
It can be exercised orally or in writing. 
The Attorney General while executing nolle prosequi should give reasons why it is exercising such power.
The Attorney General can evercise such power by himself and when doing this, it could orally by asking the court to discontinue the matter or through officers of his department, and when it is by officers of his department, it should not be done orally but by a written authority of the Attorney General. 
The officer who from his officer must be a law officer. Section 2 of Law Officers Act explains that a clerk or eve the secretary in the office of the Attorney General cannot bring such written instrument to court as he is not a law officer. 
This means that even if the clerk or the secretary is a lawyer, they don't fall under the definition of law officer.
When nolle prosequi in entered, what the court does is to make an order.

I will teach my children — in fact they’ll learn from example — the benefits of daily exercise. Nigerians are too fucking lazy for my liking. The students I counted from the thumbnail aren’t up to five out of at least five hundred in total.

Exercise is underrated

NIGERIAN LAW SCHOOL YENAGOA CAMPUS. MORNING WORKOUT WITH THE STUDENTS.

Students of the Nigerian Law School Yenagoa campus used the Saturday morning workout session to ease the the stress of the program at the Nigerian Law School.

They were seen engaging in different forms of exercise just to take time off from the stress of the weekdays.

They have Saturday and Sundays as their free days although it is worth mentioning that they have to attend group meetings to solve the task for the week ahead.

POWER TO ARREST AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE LAW

Arrest is the act of apprehending and taking a person into custody (legal protection or control), which is because the person has been suspected of or observed committing a wrongful act. When a person is arrested, the person can be asked questions or subsequently charged to court if the law enforcement agency is satisfied that the person committed the crime.

Though it could be argued that arrest is a breach of the Fundamental Right of a person's liberty as provided by the constitution SECTION 35 CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA 1999 AS AMENDED, arrest in some cases is necessary in the Criminal Justice System.

A complaint should be in writing and on oath and a warrant can be issued any day. SECTIONS 37 AND 38 ACJA. This might differ according to various jurisdiction.

Arrest could be executed with or without a Warrant of Arrest issued.

A warrant of arrest is an authority in writing to a police officer or any other person directing the officer or person to arrest a named offender and to bring him before the court to answer a complaint made against him.


The Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) SECTION 113 provides that a court may issue a summons or warrant as provided in the Act to compel the appearance before it of a suspect accused of having committed an offence in any place, whether within or outside Nigeria, triable in a State or in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Section 114 provides that in every case, the court may proceed either by way of summons to the defendant or by way of warrant for his arrest in the first instance according to the nature and circumstances of the case.

While a summons is issued to the offender, a warrant of arrest is issued to the police officer or any other person.

In the Northern part of Nigeria, Justice of Peace, Magistrate and Judges can issue a Warrant of Arrest while only Judges and Magistrates can issue Warrant of Arrest in the Southern part of the country.

The National Assembly can issue a warrant of arrest in limited cases. EL-RUFAI v. SENATE OF NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

A police officer no matter the rank cannot issue a Warrant of Arrest.

A warrant of Arrest is directed to a named Police Officer, members of the police or private persons as the case may be and when it is directed to a private person, the person shall have such powers of arrest as that of a police officer. SECTIONS 39 AND 40 OF ACJA.

When executing an Arrest Warrant, the person shall not use force. Force can only be used when there is reasonable apprehension of violence by the person to be arrested. This means that, if there is a reason to believe that the person to be arrested will use violence against the person executing the arrest, then the person executing the arrest can use reasonable force while executing the arrest read more https://www.kokination.one/2021/12/power-to-arrest-and-provisions-of-law.html

The word JURISDICTION as it relates to the court is the power a court has to hear and determine the issues between parties as presented before it. Jurisdiction is the authority of a court to sit on a matter and give judgement which shall bind the parties.
MADUKOLU v. NKEMDILIM

Lack of Jurisdiction renders the hearing a nullity. This means that the judgement of a court will have no effect when the court does not in fact have Jurisdiction to hear such matter. GALADIMA v. TAMBAI

It is the laws and statutory provisions that confer Jurisdiction on the court. Parties cannot on their own confer Jurisdiction on the court. Party A and Party B knowing that a court does not have the authority to hear such matter cannot tell the court to go ahead with the matter as they cannot give the court such powers. Even though they have given their consent, the judgment of the Court on such matter would still be declared a nullity.

Where a matter comes before a court, and the court discovers that it does not have Jurisdiction to entertain such matter, the court will strike the matter out for lack of Jurisdiction. GOMBE v. P.W. (NIG) LTD

The issue of Jurisdiction arises where;

1. The court is not properly constituted or on issues of composition of the court. Where there is a particular number of judges or justices (as the case maybe) who should sit on a matter and such number is not present or seated, then the composition of the court is to be question, which means that the court lacks Jurisdiction to hear the matter.

2. The Geographical area of the court will also be an issue when considering whether or not a court has Jurisdiction over a matter. Matters should be instituted in the proper areas where the court that should here such matter is located.

3. The subject matter is an issue of Jurisdiction. When instituting a matter in court, a party should make sure that the court he is going to is one that can properly handle THE SUBJECT MATTER. If the subject matter of the case is not one that can be properly handled by the court, it means the court lacks Jurisdiction to hear the matter. Parties are advised to look at the subject matter properly and the relevant laws to make sure the court it is approaching has the power to hear such matter.

4. Parties and capacity can also be and issue to be raised on grounds of Jurisdiction. The court will lack the power to hear a matter if the right parties are not before it or if the parties or any of the parties lack the legal capacity to appear before the court.

5. The court will also lack Jurisdiction to hear a matter if it cannot grant the relief sought by the parties or any of the parties. The court cannot grant what it does not have powers to grant. If it cannot grant the relief sought, then it lacks Jurisdiction to hear the matter.

6. Procedural Jurisdiction is an issue. This arises where the procedure which should be followed while instituting a matter in court is not followed. The Rules made by courts on how matters are to be instituted in the various courts should be consulted first before matters can be commenced to avoid not following the laid down procedure of a particular court.

Nigerian first lady, Aisha Buhari has recently ordered all members of her staff to proceed on indefinite leave.

This news is coming after she is rumoured to be pregnant.


Amid pregnancy rumours, the wife of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), Aisha, has ordered all members of her staff to proceed on an indefinite leave.

This announcement was contained in a statement on Tuesday by the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Health and Development Partners in the First Lady’s office, Mohammed Kamal.

The 50 year old First Lady was with the 79 year old President in Turkey between December 16 and 19, 2021 when they attended the 3rd Turkey-Africa Partnership Summit.

Photos of the President’s wife released by the Presidency after the trip had sparked pregnancy rumours as she was pictured to have cradled what looked like a bump.



But in a statement on Tuesday, Kamal said the First Lady ordered the members of staff in her office to proceed on indefinite leave and continue work virtually.

The statement, posted on the verified Instagram handle of the President’s wife, read, “This serves to inform all members of staff that the office of the First Lady will be closed for the upcoming festive period of Christmas and New Year.


“To this end, all staff members are requested to proceed on leave, until further notice.

“Please note that official engagements and work can also continue virtually as it was done previously.

“Her Excellency appreciates and thanks all staff members for their commitment and hard work and wishes all a happy festive period ahead.”

You will recall that Aisha, who is reportedly a mother of five children, was away in Dubai for about six months till March 2021 when she returned to the country.

Until recently, she had been vocal in her criticism of the regime of her husband, especially regarding the insecurity ravaging the country.

However spokesman of the first lady, Sulaiman Haruna in an interview with BBC Pidgin on Monday, denied reports that his principal is expecting another child.

Paul Onuachu to Miss out as Super Eagles of Nigeria prepare for AFCON


Paul Onuachu the Nigerian striker suffered an injury setback as the Smurfs settled for a draw against Brian Priske’s men on Sunday.

This injury will pose a setback and the striker is set to miss Nigeria’s campaign at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

The lanky striker hurt his hamstring as Genk settled for a 1-1 draw against Royal Antwerp in Sunday’s Belgian top-flight outing.


Having been set up by Theo Bongonda, Onuachu put the Smurfs ahead in the 32nd minute at the Luminus Arena.

Sadly, he was subbed for the Canada international of Nigerian descent in the 70th minute following his injury nightmare.

With Genk looking destined to secure all points at stake, the visitors levelled matters through super-sub Viktor Fischer in the 82nd minute.

The Denmark international forward fired past goalkeeper Maarten Vandevoordt after he was teed up by Benson Hedilazio.

Onuachu’s manager Bernd Storck stated while reacting to the 27-year-old’s injury against Brian Priske’s side, that the Super Eagle's striker will be out of action for at least four weeks.

"He suffered a muscle tear. I already had the feeling that I had to replace him, but he said he could continue." Storck told Sporza.

"And then he suffered a hamstring injury during sport. He will not be able to play for the next three, four weeks."

This is indeed bad news for the three-time African champions with Watford midfielder already ruled out of the biennial African football showpiece and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen yet to hit full form.

Before this injury nightmare, kokination gathered that Onuachu accounted for 12 goals in 18 matches in the Belgian elite division of the 2021-22 campaign.

The ex-Midtjylland striker was invited to the senior national team for the first time in March 2019 by Gernot Rohr.

That same month, he scored his first international goal against Egypt. The goal was scored within 10 seconds after kick-off at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba.

Nigeria is zoned in Group D alongside, Sudan, Egypt and Guinea Bissau, and will begin their campaign on January 11 against the Pharaohs of Egypt.

“We expected them to be self reliant after undergoing training in different skills here,” he told reporters during interview.

According to him,”At the end of the training, they will be given tools to start being on their own.”

Muazu also said the beneficiaries were placed on N10,000 monthly stipends and that the money would be paid for a period of nine months.

“Everybody will be provided with either laptops or other working tools as they depart for their different states,” he said.

One of the trainers of the N-Power hardware programme in an interview with reporters tasked government to go beyond providing laptops and other start-up tools, saying empowering the youths with small funds to establish workshops was equally key in the empowerment programme.

”Within their six weeks of staying in camps here,they have learnt how to repair phones, laptops and tablets”, Adoga said: ”They need funds to be able to set up small shops to carry out their trade.”

Insisting that, ” Apart from the tools that the federal government has provided for them,they also need start-up funds”,Adoga tasked the beneficiaries to start from their homes,not necessarily from shops from graduation.

He said given his assessment of the trainees,a good number of them were doing well from what they learnt.

“60 percent are good to go based on my assessment but 40 percent of them still require further training. Personally, they can go and get themselves attached to further enhance their skills,” he said.

A beneficiary, Agera Christopher, from Benue State,commended the government for the initiative, saying he was going out to explore the world with a view to excel in his trade.

“I want to commend the federal government for initiating this programme. I thank the government also for making me to be one of the beneficiaries of the programme. It has been a very big plus on my side.
For me personally, this is my first time of enjoying any initiative of the federal government, so I’m indeed grateful to the government for this opportunity. So far, it has been a huge success. It has been going well.

” I am being trained in different skills such as graphic designs, photo editing, landscaping and many others.

The aim of the government in doing this for me is to see that after getting out of here, I could be a self-employed person. It is now my own place to choose any of these skills I’m taught and specialize on so that I can move this country forward in my own little way,”he said.

Ada Okafor narrated her experience thus” My experience here has been wonderful. This is my best experience in life so far because I have not actually participated in any federal government’s scheme before. I’m surprised to see myself as a beneficiary of this N-Power programme.”

She further stated ”So far,I have learnt a lot in video editing, landscaping among many others. After leaving this place,I intend to pursue a programme on my own in the areas I have been taught about, especially video and photo editing.”

Dominic Versima, from Benue State,who said he has learnt a lot in software skill and appreciate the federal government for empowering him through the programme, said: I intend to leave this place with the knowledge acquired here to better myself.”

” I have learnt from here how I can build website and design it. I am proud to be a web developer courtesy of the knowledge acquired here. I want to thank the federal government for this opportunity,”he said.

He,however, called on government to provide them with small funds and starter pack to begin their lives with.

Also speaking, Mariam Mohammed,a native of Minna in Niger State, said: ”I’m very appreciative of the federal government’s gesture to us. When I received a text message for this programme, I was surprised that how would I cope in learning things like hardware, software and other computer aspects. But here I am today with all the relevant knowledge.

When I leave this place,I would establish my own workshop. Although some persons are saying ladies can’t handle things like this but

I would prove them wrong. But I appeal to the federal government to assist us financially and not just to train us because some of us may find it difficult to begin without funds.

Havana Syndrome was coined after an illness struck people at the U.S. Embassy in Havana from 2016 to 2017.

Havana syndrome is a set of medical signs and symptoms reported by United States and Canadian embassy staff in Cuba dating back to late 2016 as well as subsequently in some other countries, including the United States.

Some persons usually diplomats and staffers, reportedly experienced hearing loss, dizziness, loss of balance and other neurological symptoms.


The health problems typically had a sudden onset: the victim would suddenly begin hearing strange grating noises that they perceived as coming from a specific direction. Some of them experienced it as a pressure or a vibration; or as a sensation comparable to driving a car with the window partly rolled down.

The duration of these noises ranged from 20 seconds to 30 minutes, and always happened while the diplomats were either at home or in hotel rooms. Other people nearby, family members and guests in neighboring rooms, did not report hearing anything.

A fact about the Havana Syndrome is that most people who have had Havana Syndrome heard a loud noise and felt an intense pressure or vibration in their head, dizziness, and pain in their ear or head.


Some people said the symptoms stopped when they went to another room, and returned when they went back to the same spot when they first experienced the symptoms.
