Did I read correctly?
You have rented a shop without knowing what to sell yet? Wow

The shop location is hot cake. I can gamble with the rent risk. But if I should lose that location, I might not find such an opportunity again.

I have been contemplating finding other sources of income. I just rented a shop that is on a very busy part of Ibadan. However I am not sure what I can sell there.

My capital is about 500K to 1m and I would prefer something that would be buy and resell. Because I won't be available and I would have to hire an attendant.

People are saying phone accesories, or flea market clothes but I still need more suggestions. Preferrably something with minimum hassle and guarranteed turn over. My shop rent is already running.

I personally would love to invest in varities of vehicle and machinery lubrications but I want to intern with someone who's already established in the business first, so that's a no for now.

Please any suggestions will be welcomed.

I hope children don't take after surrogate mothers.

Whatever the case, if i were to do, i wouldn't let someone looking like any of these carry my kids.

A clean fit Latina will be OK. I wouldn't want my kids looking like Okro soup after delivery. I would't want to take chances, science can be funny atimes.

Beggars can't be chosers. Face front.

Available?

Maybe you should focus on the message here , rather than on the messenger.
Defrauding people of their hard earned money is a crime, and using slave trade or colonisation as an excuse doesn't justify it, cos the are not scamming the people that benefited from colonisation like the Queen of England and her family ,and other Families who made their wealth from the slave trade, but ordinary working class Europeans who are just trying to eke out a living.

Nonsense like this is why I don't take Nigerians serious.

You have a Pastor who's having sex with under-18 children attending his church, and yet he turns around on the pulpit and preach that premarital sex is bad. And you turn around and tell me follow the message not the messenger.

Defrauding people is a crime, and it can only be curbed, it can't be eliminated.

And no one needs the advise of a thieving politician who earns $540,000 per year in one of the most impoverished countries of the world.

It's called hypocrisy. Google it.

MrBrownJay1:
so you just prove my point (by copying what i wrote earlier) that people on ARVs aint 100% safe, as i have stated all along!

it is a well known fact that many people get HIV infected via sharing of needles (drug users, diabetics, doctors, dentists etc)... and with the current HEROIN/FENTANYL epidemic in the US, i can assure you that the number of HIV infection will greatly rise. just because the majority of people who get infected is via sexual contact DOES NOT therefore mean that we should disregard other means by which the virus spreads.

but hey, I DARE YOU TO SHOW ME ONE LINK THAT SAYS THAT ITS 100% SAFE TO SHARE NEEDLES AND/OR TO HAVE DIRECT BLOOD CONTACT, WITH PEOPLE ON ARVs.

It is not safe to share needles with people, either on ARVs or HIV negative people. You're throwing a lot of unreasonable red herring and strawman fallacies around. It's quite funny you skipped the PreP part, because you knew it was true and you were spewing a horseload of BS.

Nobody is out there sprinkling and spraying blood all around for people to get infected by direct contact. You're just whipping up unnecesarry mass hysteria and paranoia. I never denied that there are other ways that the virus infects people, I only said the majority of infections-note, MAJORITY-is sexual. Again, I did not dismiss the fact that there are other ways of catching the virus. Below is the inception of our argument, which you have confirmed again and again.

MrBrownJay1:

NoContract post=77028064:
Yes. He can go raw with his wife. As long as she is on drugs, she can't infect anyone. Positive people are not the one spreading the virus. It's usually naive people who don't know their status. Because there's no way someone would know his status and not get treatment, unless he wishes to die.

Go get tested folks.

i beg to differ, although taking ARVs reduces considerably the chances for an infected person to infect his/her partner, there is still about a 5% chance to get infected.... and as little as it may be, people should be careful!

It's also interesting how you've also shut your argument over the breast milk issue. You don't know what you are talking about.

Let me rephrase again:

NoContract:
-So you just prove my point (by copying what i wrote earlier) that people on ARVs aint 100% safe, as i have stated all along!

Honestly are you listening to yourself? Why, in the first instance would anyone (safe or not) in their right senses, want to share needles with anyone? Your ignorance happens to stem from the moral assumption that the majority of infections were via sharing of needles. This was true during the early days of the epidemic, and not now. Infact the highest percentage of infected folks happened to be sexually. Not that I am dismissing the possibility of needles sharing though. And again, if undetectable, a HIV positive person poses no risk whatsoever to whoever uses his or her needles or sharp objects. Undetectable is the word. This is a fact.

-Are you saying it is safe for anyone to be in direct blood contact with someone on ARVs?

This is utterly ridiculous. Why would anyone be in direct blood contact with others to start with? The chances of these acts you're emphasizing on to happen is slim to none, and usually accidental. And again, undetectability is the key. A (confirmed) undetectable status is safe, either in the case of any accidental sharp object or direct contact. There is no (or not enough) virus in the blood to trigger an infection. Please grab a biology book and stop being genuinely stupid.

Undetectable means that the level of HIV in a person's blood is so low that PCR RNA tests are unable to detect any, or less than 50 copies per ml.

The US CDC has recently determined after reviewing multiple studies that HIV-positive people in antiretroviral treatment who are undetectable are unable to pass the virus on sexually.

The results probably apply generally to IV drug users as well, but we don't know for sure — not empirically.

It's very difficult to study populations of IV drug users in compliant antiretroviral treatment. People don't tend to stay in stable treatment long enough to be able to be studied. Pools of available study subjects are quite small.

It's reasonable to think that the risk may be a little higher with syringes than sex, but probably not a lot higher, and possibly not significantly higher.

Certainly, we know that the transmission rate at least drops dramatically with effective treatment to undetectable.

You're just looking for unnecessary cheap attention. There are thousands of sero-discordant couples worldwide, and trust me, the virus is not the easiest thing to catch, unless one is just shamelessly careless. Also no one is going about sharing needles.

Stop the fear mongering. You don't know what you are talking about. Modifying your posts with glossy colours and bold caps will not help you with your misinformation. End of discussion.

MrBrownJay1:
ARRANT SMOKESCREEN GIBBERISH RUBBISH!!!!!

I knew your ego will make you gullibly fall for my final request.

- Can a person on ARVs go to a blood bank and give blood transfusion (since you believe they are virus free)?!

—No. Because while technically there are no viruses present (only) in the bloodstream, there are copies hidden in places where the ARVs can't reach, lying dormant and waiting to strike if one misses his or her drugs. I explained this in the previous post, and if you were smart enough you'd easily theorize the reason it wouldn't make sense to accept such blood is because you can't always trust with certainty that a non monitored person (educated or not) would adhere to his or her drugs, every day all the time. There are a lot of other external factors that can make that happen. There are also a myriad of biological/scientific reasons why it's just safe to avoid such blood in its entirety (that I can't explain here unless you want me to write a textbook, since you can't research on your own)


- Are you saying that it is safe for drug users to share needles with a person on ARVs?!

-How can a nursing mother on ARVs infect a child through breastfeeding, if "supposedly" she is virus free (as you claim)?!

–Read the above. I can't help you anymore. You're deliberately trying to prove a point that doesn't make sense.

- if PrEP was so safe then why dont they give it to EVERYBODY then?! that would be the end of AIDS isnt it?!

–It's actually not free. Also don't forget that this is a third world country, and other issues. But it works. And has proven so over the years.

and lets not forget:
I DARE YOU TO SHOW ME ONE LINK (OUT OF ALL YOUR ABOVE BS LINK) THAT SAYS THAT ITS 100% SAFE TO SHARE NEEDLES AND/OR TO HAVE DIRECT BLOOD CONTACT, WITH PEOPLE ON ARVs.

You keep screaming about blood transfusion. You self, when was the last time you donated blood, you sit on your high comfy horse acting like the superior moralista the world needs. Abeg Park well and be honest for once. No one goes around sharing needles anyhow. Be open minded and use google. I don't have time for idiocy anymore. I'd recommend you read this book And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic by Randy Shilts

I have e copies if you would be so humble to ask.

Play safe.

MrBrownJay1:
just because the virus is so low in the system, that it cant be detected, DOES NOT mean the virus isnt there.

Dear, since you still insisting you're correct, let me enlighten you. HIV is a just a type of virus out of over a million other viruses roaming around. It particularly attacks a type of immune system cells (white blood cells) known as T Cells, by invading, and making copies of its virioin, thereby killing the cells off in the process, while multiplying rapidly to attach other uninfected cells. The less T cells a person has, the more prone such person is, to illnesses and diseases that would easily have been managed if he/she was negative. Such a person will also be prone to malignancies (cancers), because these particular cells also make sure those cancerous overgrowths are managed. Without such T cells to keep them in check, these malignancies tend to sprout up and become deadly. Basically, that's it. There's no sugar or salt to it.

How ARVs work is, the disrupt the process the virions take in order to attack a T cell. If any of the virion's cell attacking process is disrupted, the virion cannot do anything, and will essentially perish. The HIV virus can not exist without living a cell (it attacked) The arv drugs work by protecting those un infected t cells from being attacked, and also essentially locking out those other infected ones from being able to multiply. Essentially the virus within those cells die. So basically that's the theory of being undetectable (on a blood level). It basically means there are no active viruses in the person's blood stream, which technically means if that person goes and have a hiv prick test, he/she will show up as being negative. This is a fact, madam.

The problem however is the elusivity of the virus. Some will eventually attach themselves to cellular places where the ARVs can't reach. The brain, semen, breastmilk and especially the bone marrow et cetera. Current ARV drugs can't reach there and hence, the need to maintain a regular adherence with drugs. Because once those virions notice the barriers for infections are open (which means, when the person assumes he's cured and no longer taking his or her drugs seriously, or even at all) the virus bounces back with more ferocity and becomes resistant to the regular drugs that were formally being used. And this is extra serious wahala.

This is why, when a person suspects being exposed, he or she is advised to go to the hospital immediately before 72 hours and the person will be administered with PEP, in other to rid his/her blood from any presently forming viruses. After 4 days, it it theorized that the HIV virus would have gained a foothold deep in the bone marrow, which is absolutely impossible to eradicate unless vía stem cell therapy, which is expensive and risky but works.

Two people have been cured so far with this method, and another one is currently being monitored.

Use Google and stop embarrassing Nigerians.

Have a good day but if you challenge me again, I'll finish you off with my final blow. Peace.

Please nairalanders I need you guys to share your views on how lucrative you think the transportation sector is, especially the gurus in the business.

I'm thinking of buying a fairly used Toyota Hiace bus which costs about 3.5 million naira and I think it's a fair deal considering the profit I think I'll be making every day.

The bus should have 18 seats so that gives me 18,000 naira per trip, I'm thinking of plying interstate from port-Harcourt to Bayelsa which costs 1 thousand naira per person.

Therefore, if I can be able to make 4 trips in a day that gives me about 72000 naira returns everyday, giving me about 2.1 million naira per month.

Pardon me... I just did this little mathematics out of naivety as I do not really know the complexity of the transport sector, that is why i need your views, opinions and advice so that I don't hurt myself in the end.

However, if everything is as it seems then I think I would have to invest massively in the transport sector smiley

Hello, did you eventually start? i am also working on a small transport business and i will need your imput. Can I have your whatsapp number please? Or can you send me a message on whatsapp by clicking this link [url]/2348066352819[/url]

I need your advice on some things please. Thanks.

ElvishKing:
Dear Car Talk gurus

I intend to start a small commercial transport business using MPVs. I intend to start out with 2 or 3 cars for long distance between states in the northern part of the country.

My choice of cars are: Either Ford Galaxy or Volkswagen Sharan all petrol engines.

My questions are:

1: Which is the better option between the two cars? taking into consideration performance fuel efficiency, durability, etc.

2: What is the ideal manufacturing years to buy? I am looking at between 2000-2003? I could lower or higher, no problem.

3: What engine size to go for? Sharan: 1.8Turbo, 2.0, 2.8 (VR6)? Ford Galaxy: 2.0, 2.3, 2.8 (VR6)

4: Automatic or manual drive?

5: Any other tips or info all welcome


NB: I was advised to post this here as I am likely to get more responses

Thanks for your input

Nice, I'm also considering the business. Can I have your whatsapp number please? Or can you send me a message on whatsapp by clicking this link [url]/2348066352819[/url]

baba go and marry....if u no fit toast womam go village yr mama go epp u find wife

There's really nothing wrong in asking his mama to help him find wives. Even foreign based Nigerians do it all the time.

MrBrownJay1:
let me educate you on the subject so you dont get fooled by the "Undetectable Equals Untransmittable" BS.

A) not everyone on ARVs have undetectable viral load. FACT! True.
B) you must have undetectable viral load during AT LEAST 6 months and always take your meds ON TIME... before an infected person on ARVs can consider themselves safe during "sex". FACT! True
C) Even if someone has undetectable viral load, it only means that SEXUAL transmission is impossible (AKA during SEX), but if you share needles OR have direct blood contact with them, a person with undetectable viral load can still infect you. FACT!

This is a lie. Undectectable means not being able to transfer copies of the virus. Virus that is no longer in the blood. What, then, is there to be transmitted? I don't believe you have a firm grasp of how the HIV virus, or the ARVs work.

HIV medicine is called antiretroviral therapy, or ART. If taken as prescribed, HIV medicine reduces the amount of HIV in the body (viral load) to a very low level, which keeps the immune system working and prevents illness. This is called viral suppression—defined as having less than 200 copies of HIV per milliliter of blood. HIV medicine can even make the viral load so low that a test can’t detect it. This is called an undetectable viral load.

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323874.php
https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/art/index.html

D) Just because someone has undetectable viral load today, does not mean that this will be their status for the rest of their natural life. if they miss to take their meds ONE TIME and/or if they fail to take their drugs ON TIME and/or if HIV in their system develop resistance to the drug (like many do), their viral load will change.FACT![/b]This is true. However, the current regimen of drugs available now has a very low chance of the virus developing ressistance, that is, if taken according to prescription.

[b]E) During pregnancy/labor/delivery, the chances for an infected mother on ARVs to infect her unborn child is about 1%, and certainly not impossible. FACT!

Again, science has shown that as long as adherence is constant, there is no risk whatsoever. Maylasia is a prime example. This is blatant fear mongering.The 1% is probably for those who do not take adherence seriously. And you might argue the possibility in Nigeria, as this a third world country unlike Malaysia, though. But we're talking about the overrall science here, not about particular countries.

https://www.who.int/westernpacific/news/detail/08-10-2018-malaysia-eliminates-mother-to-child-transmission-of-hiv-and-syphilis

F) During breastfeeding, having undetectable viral load "greatly reduces" the risk of passing HIV to a child, although it DOES NOT completely eliminate this possibility. any woman on ARVs with undetectable viral load should use milk formula instead. FACT!

I suppose this is true to a degree.

SO AGAIN, as much as taking ARVs considerably reduces the chance for a HIV+ person to infect others, people must take NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS. not doing so would not only be foolish, but also very dangerous!

Well, since it appears you aren't aware, partners of HIV positive persons can always take PrEP which is an added security, even if the HIV partner is still detectable. PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis. It’s a daily pill that can help prevent HIV. If you don’t have HIV, taking PrEP every day can lower your chances of getting HIV from sex by more than 90%. PrEP is also known by the brand name Truvada.

madridsta007:
LOL. Mate, you are hilarious
Of course, it is implied as an insult.
We can pretend about this, but this is fine. Clinical psychologists will tell you that self-deceit is quite prevalent amongst humans these days.

It is quite sad that your supposed education does not inform you that people can hold distinctly different views and the presence of one does not invalidate the other —nor should the other be demonised as "illiterate". One can suggest the "love" argument and another can suggest the "logic" argument. They are both mutually exclusive and should mutually exist as opinions.

Sadly, your vaunted "education" -or should I say, "literacy"- seem not to have taught you this.

Well then.
