Official talk.
At home he is crying out loud because of the hike in prices of everyday commodities.

SisterAnn:
What's your purpose for creating this thread?

I just wanted to share what i am going through with someone or people and i thought nairaland was a perfect idea.

SisterAnn:
What's the nature of your surgery and what's the name of this chewy drug that helped you?

Two private questions

I finished my youth service (NYSC) in 2020 but couldn't begin my search for a job because of i had undergone a surgery which failed to heal completely.

As a matter of fact,i went to camp with a medical report but failed to redeploy back because i misplaced the paper given to me by the doctor in camp who checked me (i was supposed to tender that paper to the doctor that came from outside,he was the one to finally permit my redeployment)

I had to come back to the state i was posted with the aim of still working my redeployment because my claims were genuine but my LGI posted to a school close to a hospital and said i should go for another check there which i did and the doctor said i can do the operation in their hospital

(me "city boy" even in the dream i won't be comfortable buying drugs from such place not to talk of doing operation there)

While all these talks was going on it was running into months and the pains became unbearable "i started drinking alcohol and to my greatest surprise it was able to subside the pains but the side effects of alcohol were what i didn't bargain for"

I completed my service year thanks to the pandemic (coronavirus)that shortened my stay in the state.

I returned home and started drinking alcohol and smoking weed to stop the pains (it worked for me but the side effects of alcohol and weed was soon noticed by my family that i stay with) After telling me to stop it and i wouldn't

they took me to a drug rehab.
After some months in rehab,i explained my health challenge which was visible at times to some close people (fellow rehabbers) .

The rehabbers there pressured the management of the rehab to facilitate talks with my people for me to go in for a surgery but they were delaying so they could take money from my people

"Me wey be aro retired before i repent" one day after some months there i just broke their T.V wey dey keep for us to dey watch(na dat day dem say make i come go house)

I later did the operation again shortly after and this time with chewing marijuana and smoking it it was successful ) even though say i been done repent I had twosome, party,Mouth Gig sex i don't know how many times (all because the doctor said those who undergo my type of surgery are mostly married and that my gf should not be far from me)

My pot use side effects started showing and while i was still nursing my family took me to a Neuropsychiatry Hospital were i stayed a short while ( one doctor there recommended a leaf that i started chewing instead of smoking pot after i told him my reason for smoking).

I got a job after i came out from the Neuropsychiatry but the pay was something that only determination could make me continue (N13000) as of 2022 but i had no experience so i decided to take it .

After a year in that job i got an offer in a bigger organization which was (35k) this time.

I only enjoyed the healing for six months because of an allergy product that i used.

I later got a pensionable job of (42k) but in this job after i was accused of sexual assault and later proven innocent,i quit the job with the believe that if i stop working for about three months the operation spot would be healed again.Note: it was the allergy product that i used that caused the operation spot to open again.

(Pot was helpful in the healing process but the side effects outweighs the benefit for me since i was still living in the family house )

I went to the bunk where I buy my pot and i met a guy who brought out one tablet(drug) and he wanted to sell it to the baron.

I also took a sniff of a particular drug i bought and it was like several wraps of pot .

After a while i was taken to the Neuropsychiatry again and i noticed that the drug they wanted to sell for the baron and the one i sniffed were what was being given to me as my doctor's prescriptions.I started grinding it to sniff in there and before a short while of being there the operation spot closed totally.

I asked a guy i met there Alex not real names if my doctor's prescription could be sold in the bunk (he said yes that it is sold) he was a ghetto gospel preacher (he knew everything about the pot business and barons affairs)

I continued sniffing the drug for preventive reasons as i came back and was able to get a job of (25k) which i am currently doing even as i am in search of something better.

I wanted to share it with people or someone and i thought a forum like this will not be a bad idea.

I sincerely pray and hope for the kind of healing that won't require any form of medications "oral intake" "sniffing" or marijuana use.

Listen to Psalm 121 in Hebrew

A catastrophic boat accident occurred early Friday along the Dambo-Ebuchi stretch of the River Niger, leaving dozens feared dead and many others missing.

Eyewitnesses report that the vessel, reportedly owned by Musa Dangana, was transporting more than 200 passengers, including market vendors and farm laborers, to the Katcha weekly market when it overturned, throwing everyone on board into the river.

Local divers have been leading the rescue efforts, and so far, eight bodies have been recovered. Search operations are ongoing to locate the remaining passengers.

This incident follows a similar tragedy on October 1, 2024, when a boat capsized on the Muwo Gbajibo River in Mokwa Local Government Area, also in Niger State, claiming numerous lives.

Preliminary findings suggest that none of the passengers were wearing life jackets at the time of the accident, a factor believed to have worsened the fatalities.

While authorities have yet to issue an official statement, an investigation into the cause of the accident is anticipated.

Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

More details to follow……

The kidnappers of four children of a Kaduna chef, Aisha Kabir, have demanded N300 million ransom for their release

The father of the children, Yunusa Adamu, who disclosed this to newsmen,, said the abductors had threatened to kill the youngest child because of his cries.

LIB reported that the children, Safa, Amina, Nasreem and Hammad, aged 14, 12, 9 and 2, were abducted in Keke A community, Chikun Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday night, November 26, 2024, when their father went to visit Aisha who was admitted to the hospital with newly born twins. By the time he returned home a night, his children were nowhere to be found.

The police, military and vigilantes were promptly notified about the suspected kidnapping.

Adamu told FIJ on Thursday morning that the kidnappers had called him the previous day with the children’s phone, which they had taken along.

He said he was able to speak with his eldest child.

“They allowed me to speak with the eldest one. They are fine, but they are not feeding them. They did not feed them and they did not give them water. They threatened to kill them with hunger,” Adamu said.

He said the kidnappers also threatened to kill the youngest child, who will turn two in December.

“They said he’s disturbing them with cries. So, instead of hunger to kill him, they will kill him themselves so that the crying will stop,” the father revealed.

“They said today is the deadline for payment. I have pleaded with them to let me gather all my assets and see what I can raise. I have contacted friends and family members to see what I can gather then we will negotiate more. Though they said today (Thursday) is the deadline, they did not give me a specific time.

“I have been praying because the line is switched off. I have been waiting for them to call back so that we can talk more.”
