Health › Re: I Mistakenly Drank Green Tea And This Happened To Me by lakefist(m): 11:58am On Jul 04, 2025
lovediehatelive:
So I use to pluck moringa leaf from a tree close to a house I was staying to make tea.

Things were going smoothly and I loved it because it makes me relax without getting addicted.

There are several ways I could relax, but most of them especially things to take have a very dangerous[b] side effect: ADDICTION.[/b]

this is why I opted for moringa as the tea makes me feel well and grounded and helps me concentrate.

Things changed when I moved. I couldn't get any moringa tree around to pluck the leafs, and I just tried to forget about it.


My mind was off it totally when one day I mistakenly stumbled upon a thread on nairaland talking about the benefits of moringa, something I already knew. I was mistakenly going through the comments when someone said you can easily get it online or supermarket.

Supermarket? I mistakenly thought of it and decided to give it a try. It won't be fresh, but let me try it.

I mistakenly went to the supermarket and mistakenly asked for moringa. I was shown the section for tea and beverages and I mistakenly went there to look for it.


I didn't see moringa and I mistakenly looked well until I saw a packet written moringa.


I mistakenly picked it up, and saw that it was actually green tea and moringa. Instead of me to drop it, I mistakenly took it, thinking that the moringa covers for the green tea.

I haven't taken green tea, but I've heard of it. I mistakenly didn't consider the side effects, and I mistakenly bought the green tea disguised as moringa.


This was where my woes started.
I mistakenly made the green tea moringa tea, and mistakenly drank it.

The taste was somehow, but not too bad. I felt alert and sharp, my memory clear and awesome.

I could remember things very clearly and my focus was sharp.

But I didn't know that I mistakenly started something that would have effect on me.

I wasn't looking forward to slimming down, I only wanted moringa tea to help me focus.


At first I felt clarity of mind and highly alert, but that was it. Any little thing, I quickly noticed and responded. Seems like I could hear ants walking, little details and sounds were very clear to me.

This was bad for me. The noise from moving cars, loud music, generator noise and noisy people around made it counter effective.

This wasn't the kind of clarity I wanted.

Actually want I needed was focus not total clarity. For me to be kinda numb to the world around and highly focused on things around me, the particular thing I'm attending to at the moment.


But I mistakenly took green moringa tea and it made me really light. My head was lighter than our current transparent black nylon.


Any little noise triggers me. I became restless and irritable.



Night sleep? Gone

Focus? Gone

Steeze? Reduced drastically.



Instead of me to stop at first try, I mistakenly took the green moringa tea again, and again, until...


It now seems like all my flesh are gone and like they use spoon to scrape what's remaining, just like how I usually scrap off burnt rice from the bottom of delicious jollof rice back then.



What do I do? I don't want to mistakenly continue, I want my focus back.

My steeze restored.

My peaceful night sleep restored.


How do I counter this effect fast the natural way without substance that causes addiction?
Caffeine intolerance.

I used to experience all these anytime I drink coffee. My heart beats faster, the palpitations and restlessness was out of this world. Once I discovered tmit was caffeine, I stopped completely and felt great again..

I take green tea and I felt great. You should check the content of that green tea, don't trust the manufacturers.

I don’t know where people get the notion that tax takes all your money. I pay 20% of remaining balance of my salary after they have set aside 12,500 tax allowance. We were able to raise my wife’s school and have invited our mums three times and paid for their flights since we got to the uk three years ago.

My wife had traveled for holiday and God has tremendously blessed us. We have been able to help lots of people back home. With God’s blessing, hard and honest work, and unity between the husband and wife, the sky is your limit in the Uk. Two of my friends have bought their houses with a deposit of 30m naira deposit. How many people can raise that in Nigeria within two years?
You get time dey explain to people wey never even get international passport let alone fly.

You cannot be broke in the UK, stop telling lies.
Except you are living in luxury or you are the type that live above your means.
No matter how you try to confused people back home, life is much better in the UK than the present Nigeria.

Health › Re: Why Did I Ejaculate During Examination At Covenant University? by lakefist(m): 6:28am On Apr 30, 2025
Bleep:
grin

I had the same experience during my waec examination many years ago. It was few minutes to the end of Chemistry paper. I had the hopeless feeling that my world had ended, knowing fully well that I will write waec again as chemistry was a core subject of mine.

Funny thing is that the ejaculation was not preceded by penile erection, I just knotted out of intense apprehension and a sense of utter hoplessness.

Someone previously posed this question on a similar thread on this forum years ago, and many respondents said they had the same experience in the past. And funnily enough, they all had the experience during an examination.
Same here during my undergraduate exams. It doesn't even come with erection 🤣

BlueStripper:
Some of these people just talk without reasoning. I agree that you hate this government, but why publicizing stupid information to incite the people against the Government or make them feel worse about their country?

Why didn't you bother to research on how much Nigeria has made from diaspora remittance?

There are countries in South America where DR amounts to %37 of their GDP. Chinese doctors are everywhere in the world, same with American Doctors, so stop this nonsense please.
You spoke my mind.
