Hello nairalanders

I'm going to share my personal sincere experience from being a very bright sober university student with good academic performance and multiple talents also love by all around me to becoming a deeply hooked crackhead drug addict with a very scrupulous reputation and nearly deserted by family and friends alike.

It will be quite a lengthy post but I'll always come back to write whenever I'm on my leisure time.

I want to use this post to share my personal life experiences on drugs addiction and recovery. This is intended as a means of educating and enlightening individuals and families about drug addiction, how to go about it when they or their family members are affected.

First I must emphasize that the negative effects of drug ADDICTION is tremendous and very debilitating.
The level of addiction depends on the longevity of use and type of substance abused.

In my case, my major addiction is on Crack Cocaine (Charlie,CK, Coca, Coco, White Rock)
This is a very addictive and dangerous substance with high potency for addiction. It's also cruelly expensive and the urge/cravings that come with this drug is very strong.
I was previously addicted to Opiates (Tramadol) and had several seizures from overdose but quilt a few years ago only to find myself fallen deep into crack Cocaine, which is seemingly worse.

This is my 4-5th year of addiction. Though I've made up my mind to quite and it's barely a few days since I quit. I'll be posting my progress here.

Stay active here from time to time.

I'll first be writing about my personal experiences with crack Cocaine use then move to the side and effects, the cravings and heinious crimes I committed just to get money to buy this substance Crack. It almost turned my life over.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AFTER USE
Instant euphoria, increased confidence and raised energy, alertness is heightened, become talkative, extremely raised euphoria, increased libido

Negative effects
Dilated pupils, constant cravings, extremely high heart rate, increased blood pressure, muscle spasms, vibrating body, restlessness, insomnia, constant fear of the unknown, profuse sweating, worst of it all is the cravings.
It made me sell of all my properties and loose all my personal relationship and assets, my job, everything. Including selling other people's properties just to fund the crack Cocaine cravings hobby. I nearly got suicidal at some point. Early signs of schizophrenia we're experienced. In fact people started seeing me as crazy. Thank goodness I am now on the train of recovery.

Ignore my typographical errors

I'll write more later... In a few hours.

I'll talk about my triggers my urge for taking crack. This usually applies to every other crack addict out there.

Is it not a curse that at 220M+ people, poor men still have erections? Our population is too large and the situation is not reflecting positively on the state of things. The more people who can’t reproduce, the better for us all.

ogododo:
While some experts suggested that the absence of morning erection could be linked to underlying health issues, including infertility, others argued that it is not a reliable indicator of reproductive health.

A consultant urologist, Dr Emmanuel Eze stated that the body’s ability to have regular morning erections may be a reflection of broader reproductive health.

The physician stressed that the absence of morning erections could signal problems with hormone levels, such as low testosterone, or vascular health, which could affect overall erectile function and, in some cases, fertility.

Eze emphasised that morning erection is a natural occurrence during the REM sleep stage, typically happening 3-5 times per night.

The physician explained that the absence of morning erections could suggest issues such as erectile dysfunction, low testosterone levels, or underlying cardiovascular conditions.

According to him, it is normal for men to experience morning erections three to five times each night. These erections are typically spontaneous and occur without sexual arousal. The process is part of the body’s natural hormonal fluctuations and is linked to the functioning of the nervous system and blood flow.

Eze explained that these spontaneous erections during sleep are crucial in maintaining healthy erectile function and, by extension, overall reproductive health.


However, a Senior Registrar in Urology at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Dr. Akpo Edewor, argued that the lack of a morning erection is not necessarily an indication of serious health concerns, as many people assume.

Edewor emphasised that the absence of morning erections is not an automatic sign of erectile dysfunction or serious sexual health problems.

He explained, “Morning erections should not be viewed as the definitive measure of sexual health. It is important to understand that men can still maintain erectile function despite not having morning erections. This does not immediately indicate erectile dysfunction.”

The urologist stressed that various factors, such as sleep patterns, stress, or even the time a man wakes up, can influence whether or not he experiences a morning erection.

He further clarified that a key component in assessing erectile health is the ability to achieve an erection in response to sexual stimuli.

“If a man can still attain an erection when engaging with a partner, even without morning erections, this indicates that his erectile function is likely intact,” he stated.

Erectile dysfunction, according to Edewor, is more complex than just the absence of morning erections. It is a condition where a man consistently struggles to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse.

He said various health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and even the medications used to treat these conditions, could contribute to erectile dysfunction.

from the original article






david hundeyin used his position as a celebrated investigative journalist to smear and cast aspersions on other celebrated reporters.

does what he posted not count as an article?

you have also omitted a simple fact - no one has bothered to challenge his articles in a court of law. this is the first time his article has been challenged and he ducked out and did not appear in court.

the other day he was writing contrived conspiracy theories that bola tinubu is a cia asset. then he was writing that dangotes refinery would never take off, then after that that there was an international conspiracy against dangotes refinery. clickbait articles with littel actual substance. but designed for the low information tldr reader.

UK Police investigated a soiled pair of underwear hung on a washing line as a non-crime hate incident (NCHI), it has emerged.

In September 2021, a woman complained to North Wales Police that her neighbours had “hung a very large soiled pair of underpants on their washing line” for the past two months.

The force recorded it as a hate incident because the complainant had an Italian surname and the underwear was first put on the washing line in July that year. That month, Italy defeated England on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the final of football’s European Championships.

The incident, disclosed by North Wales Police under freedom of information laws, comes as police face increasing scrutiny for their handling of “hate” incidents.

The incident summary reports: “Known offenders have hung a very large soiled pair of underpants on their washing line, they have been there for over two months.

“The IP [injured party] believes that [they] are aimed at her because she has an Italian surname and it is in regards to the football.”

Some 13,000 NCHIs were recorded over a year up until this June.

Other incidents recorded recently included a person who refused to shake hands in an alleged gender row and a “rough” haircut reported by a customer who claimed his barber was “aggressive” following a discussion about the war in Ukraine.

Everyday a new type of relationship comes up😒🙄

Wait, are you a fertility specialist or you're just curious about the whole surrogacy thing? If you don't mind me asking.

Why does this guy always attract controversies?

Always embellishing his stories as if he has a personal beef with those he writes against.

So his anger with Kiki Mordi and the people in PDP was because he felt the woman he was married to was shortchanged?

I like the fine imposed on him. Now, his asylum in the UK is permanently foreclosed. This may also apply to countries UK allies with due to information sharing.

Let us remember this dude lied that Tinubu was convicted for drug dealing, whereas there is no single record of a conviction. But he insisted there was a conviction because he believed it. This dude was praised by Atiku for his investigative work that Tinubu did not graduate from Chicago State University. Turned out Tinubu graduated.

In closing, let me remind Atiku of those I advised him to avoid:



Exactly a year ago, I warned Atiku about these people due to their unethical practices:

sonofanarchy:
there's Boko haram,not just one person saying it or mentioning it. It's a common knowledge there. While on our way, someone showed us car blowned up by Boko haram.

sonofanarchy:
don't try it, so many are stranded and can't return to Nigeria. Bobo doulasou is polluted with stranded Nigerians their escape is to bring other gullible Nigerians to replace them. It's like a Ponzi scheme. It's a den for Boko haram. Boko haram slaughter people there. so I heard.

sonofanarchy:
I will share a personal experience I had to Burkina Faso, a landlocked country with minimum development but Nigerians are being scammed daily with promises of a dollar paid job.

Not many were lucky with their money intact, but I was lucky I discovered it immediately I got there.

Having opened East Africa's longest bridge, this country is on its way to building the longest bridge in the whole continent in bid to boost trade and tourism.

Tanzania in East Africa is about to build the largest bridge in Africa. The bridge will span 31 miles and connect the country’s mainland to the beautiful Zanzibar islands. The plans for the bridge hope to boost the country’s economy through an increase in trade and tourism, especially to the islands.

The bridge will connect one of Tanzania’s largest cities, Dar es Salaam, to the archipelago located in the Indian Ocean, between 16 and 31 miles off the coast of the African mainland.

Zanzibar is a popular tourist destination renowned for its beautiful beaches and historical sites. It is made up of both small islands and two large islands, Pemba Island and Unguja, known as Zanzibar.

Tourism in the islands is Zanzibar's main source of income. Last year, it welcomed over 638,000 tourists, many of whom flew into Dar es Salaam’s Julius Nyerere International Airport before taking a ferry to the islands.

In May 2023, Tanzania’s deputy minister of Works and Transport, Godfrey Kasekenya, announced that the China Overseas Engineering Group Company (COVEC) had expressed an interest in collaborating on the £2 billion project and being involved in discussions with stakeholders on both sides of the proposed bridge.

Although the idea for the bridge was born in 2020, and negotiations began in the spring of 2023, the project has made little progress due to financial issues.

However, according to the construction briefing, the project is expected to involve a partnership with the private sector to help with the cost of construction.

It was also reported that the Tanzanian president, Samia Suluhu Hassan, will prioritise boosting trade with the continent and taking advantage of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTFA) agreement.

Tanzania recently opened the longest bridge in East Africa, spanning 3.2 kilometres. The Magufuli Bridge crosses Lake Victoria, one of Africa’s greatest lakes, and connects Tanzania to Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi.

The country is also building a rail link to Burundi through the Democratic Republic of Congo. The total cost of the Standard Gauge Railway project is reported to be nearly £3.1 billion, with the African Development Bank Group contributing £557 million.

A section between Das er Salaam and Tanzania's capital, Dodoma, has already been built, but it is expected to take a few more years before reaching Burundi.

What’s your take? Are pastors going too far, or is this just misunderstood? Let’s hear your thoughts!"

World Sexual Purity day is a day (14th November) in a year, set aside to campaign against immortality and sex abuse among youths.

It’s purpose among others, is to build Purity among youths.

Here are some of the most hilarious placards displayed by some youths during the most recent #Worldsexualpurityday.

If you're a frequent visitor to the LCV, this shouldn't surprise you.
As a matter of fact, those monkeys usually attack the neighbourhood. Stealing fooda from people's kitchens and even bathing in their water reservoirs.
Those animals are some kind of local terrorists. 😂

Samantha125:
Last time I checked, there were no average costs for getting a surrogate mother through a fertility clinic... Because the woman has to do it voluntarily so, given that she's well taken cared of during the pregnancy.

I don't know if the laws have now changed.

Samantha125:
Some younger women still have miscarriages, die during labour or even give birth to deformed babies due to complications during pregnancy.

A relative of mine died while in labour and she was only 22 years old and a friend of mine who got married at the age of 20 was only able to have one child since her marriage... She'd keep having miscarriages whenever they try for another child and she's now in her late 20s... Even with the first child, she had complications during her pregnancy.

You preferring younger women doesn't mean women in their 30s and 40s still can't have healthy children.

Samantha125:
In South Africa, it's illegal to be paying a surrogate mother after she's given birth.

You can only pay for her medical costs and anything related to the pregnancy while she's still pregnant... So it's not that expensive.

Samantha125:
I know two women who naturally had their last born children while in their 50s and the children are healthy.

So having children over the age of 40 might be risky, but it's still possible.

Or the woman can decide to have her eggs frozen until she's found the right man and then have a surrogate carry the children for her... We are far more wiser than our forefathers with the kind of technology we have today.

Merry100:
Which forefathers are you referring to? Are you talking about the ones who referred to people with sickle cell anemia as "Abiku"? We have advanced significantly beyond our forefathers, and our understanding has evolved.

Most women aged 35 and older have healthy pregnancies and give birth to healthy children; however, the risks associated with childbearing do increase significantly for women aged 40 and above. Fortunately, advancements in technology have enabled women to take proactive steps to ensure healthy pregnancies or to preserve their eggs for future use. This approach is a better option than unplanned pregnancies.

It is ideal to wait until you are capable of caring for children before having them. The welfare of children should always be a priority. In fact, the government needs to take steps to address the issue of irresponsible parenting, as this could even help reduce the crime rate in the country. Many children from low-income families face malnutrition; some live on the streets, and some are even introduced to crime at an early age as a means of survival. In sane societies, children have the right to a safe and healthy upbringing.

grandstar:
Thank you so much for this.

I learnt something new, actually many things.

I appreciate educated responses like these.

NothingDoMe:
OP's point is that all other regions follow the geographical nomenclature without the "ern". Like West Africa instead of Western Africa.

South Africa by taking monopoly of a regional name has inadvertently caused the rest of that region to be called South-ern Africa

grandstar:
We have managed the name for over 100 years. We can manage it if not changed.

The name South Africa is now a brand and majority of people would still call it by it's present name.

For instance, how many people use the name,"Eswatini," today? Please explain what that means?

I personally use eSwatini instead of Swaziland in my communications and it's use is catching up in official circles and the international media. It's the people on the street level in some countries that start scratching their heads and wondering "What country is that?" ... And you have to tell them the eSwatini is the former Swaziland.
The eSwatini king actually said the change of name was made to eSwatini because some foreigners were confusing "Swaziland" for "Switzerland."

panafrican:
The five regions of Africa:
1.West Africa
2.East Africa
3.Central Africa
4.North Africa
5.South Africa (the country or the region confusing, big time !)

Can South Africans just find another name for their country. There are so many names could choose from if they wanted.
