Family › Struggling With Severe Depression And Need Help by mannatech(op): 4:16pm On Jul 08, 2018
Hi, my name is Jerry, I am 30yrs old, suffering from osteoarthritis, depression and having suicidal thoughts.

My problem started from my teenage years. I am very shy and have poor social skills or so I thought. Think I was in ss1/ss2 in a mixed school(had spend my jss years in an all boys school).
My life growing up had been devoid of parental or sibling love and I wanted to experience something close especially with the juicy stories and escapades from friends. Peer pressure things.

I wanted to belong so bad that I tried too but was not successful. This rejection was the beginning of what I am suffering now.
I made a wrong decision which changed my life and turned me into a miserable pile of sack. One afternoon after my bath, I was admiring myself in the mirror and making faces and suddenly I realized that whenever I raise eyebrows and pout my lips, I looked more handsome.
Nairalanders, that was how I started keeping my face 24hrs, 7days a week for good 8yrs(2003-2008).

I started getting stares which I wanted and translated to admiration not knowing those were stares of "what is this clown doing ".
When I decided to stop and finally close my jaw properly, I realised that my jaw was not well aligned, felt discomfort and slight pain.
Started visiting dental clinics, no improvement still and that was how depression crept into my life. People around weren't helping issues at all cause hardly will I be able to have a face to face conversation with them but I observed that they were cool with looking directly from the side of my face. I couldn't bond with neither family nor friends.

It was a sad moment, skipping lectures so as to visit dentist, smoking weed so as kill the depression (another regret).
Am tall so I easily fell in love with basketball.
Around 2010, I meet an uncle of mine who listened to all my worrys and his words to me inspired me to follow my own path with every shred of courage,self determination and passion.
I decided I was going to follow some of my basketball buddies into the police force as a athlete officer(under sports) while continuing my education part time. I resumed training. Morning till night, I was at the basketball court training,

Out of nowhere, the pain and jaw discomfort came back and a doctor I visited told me about a tmj procedure to realign my bite(teeth)and I goggled about this procedure and how it's done. I saw it involved massage therapy and brace wire, so I foolishly went to a local masseuse who told me he knew how to get it right.
That's was how another bad decision further destroyed the jaw I was managing. This guy used aboniki to massage from my spine bone, to the jaw lines that runs underneath my ear, separating my neck from my head.
My neck was not spared.
I only stopped the sessions after I discovered that I was like a walking corpse. Couldn't walk 5km without urinating and drinking pure water, was easily fatigued, speech incoherent.

Its been 5years since this happened but ever since that day, my life has been hell. It was so shameful that I couldn't go out for a while but when I started going out, I returned to basketball practice. It helped seeing old friends and teammates but my body wasn't up to the physicality of an athlete. It was one day training, swollen knee, inflamed ear, jaw. Visited a doctor, did X-ray and it was discovered I had osteoarthritis.

I can't work cause my health is poor. Went back to school and studied tourism.
Whenever this pains starts, I just think of the way forward but I always fall short of any tangible.

I need help, medical help, advice and counsel and possibly a permanent solution cause I can't live like this. Emotional, am drained
I want to build a life like I always dreamed of.

Other African footballers are married to white women and just because eboue's own turned out bad doesn't mean people should not marry who they love regardless of race, tribe, or nationality

Lol. When I saw the topic of this thread I knew I'll have a good laugh. Your last paragraph is funny. What do you mean by "made in Philippines products?" cheesy. If she's sponsored to Philippines won't you be happy? cheesy

But on a more serious note, they seem to have gotten hold of her. You can help her by sharing other people's stories and experiences in multilevel marketing (MLM) until she sees herself towing a similar path she won't believe you.

Don't just share for her to read or ignore, share and discuss it after reading. Hear her arguments FOR her job before bringing in your arguments AGAINST her job. If she's a staff and not a distributor, who knows? One day, she may be the one to go to Philippines for more supplies of more tea and supplements to Nigeria.

These guys have really repackaged this thing sha. This job market don kpafuka.
Have done all I could but it seems she's hell bent on continuing with them.
I will now give her space and time will tell if it's for her good or not but my prayer is for it to work to her advantage.
Jobs/Vacancies › My Sister Might Have Been Brainwashed By GNLD by mannatech(op): 11:24pm On May 25, 2018
I have always been able to guide my sister when it comes to issues that needs external input or advice.

My sister was able to retain her job after her nysc but had to resign last year. Since then, she has not been lucky in the labour market.
The reason why I opened this thread is because of recent events that have finally provided her with another job .
Am not satisfied with the kind of job because of numerous red flags that kept popping before this supposedly job.

Let me start from the beginning to explain how I came to the conclusion that the company might be a gnld company.
Last month, My mom's former customer came visiting and on trying to catch up on old times asked about my sister and mom told her how she was working but had to resign and now she's job hunting.
So the customer now promised mom she might be able to help my sister get employed in the company she works in and asked for my sister's phone number.
She called my sister and directed to a man in Abuja where my sister is based.
Few days later, I had to call my sister With instructions to travel down to our village for a distant relative's burial as our representative but she didn't pick up until hours later with the excuse that she was in a seminar.
That should have the first red flag but I didn't read much into it under when few days later, my mom told me a very ridiculous statement about my sister demanding for N40,000 as a requirement before she will be given the job.
That ridiculous demand was what set my alarm bells on and I kept trying to convince my mom that this kind of job is not right but my mom never being able to read or write and with no knowledge about issues like this, disregarded everything I raised.
I kept pestering my sister to at least show me her proof that it's not an gnld company but she's insisting she's a staff and not a distributor.
That its an NGO that's into networking.

She on a visit for the weekend and she brought my mom some of their "made in Philippines" products ( tea, supplements)
