HealthRe: Help!!! What Can Someone Use For This Fungal Infection? WARNING!! GRAPHICS PICS by o9o9: 3:31pm On May 08, 2022
Goldensword:
Get gentamicin cream, drugfield product and be applying on it, but most importantly you need to see a doctor to determine the cause of the infection and the best anti biotics for for it.
That's not a fungal infection.

That's a viral one.
OP should visit a specialist. Those viral infection are a cankaworm. They are extremely hard to remove or treat.

Battled one when i was much younger on my right leg. Towards the ankle. Not gory like yours and not same infection but it was sore with multiple pores and punctures. Scratches like hell and spreads when you touch it. Couldn't wear shorts for more than 6years.

Imagine going to school without being able to walk around because you have this 100s of these tiny pores on your right leg with pus?

Only healed after 6 years of building immunity and continued drug use to avoid a relapse. 10 years after now, all i can see is a just tiny dark scars that have healed from then. You can't even notice except you stare under ambient light.

Go to a Clinic. But don't expect quick cure. It would take months of careful management to be able to get rid of those viruses before your leg starts healing... Also those drugs are extremely expensive. I remember as far back as then., One of the external cream i was given to apply was about 6k. Imagine 6k in 2007 to now and it lasts just about a month.
Nairaland GeneralRe: Be Sincere, How often Do You Wash Your Towel? by o9o9: 6:53pm On May 06, 2022
Weekly. The washing machine and t
Dryer does the washing so no stress.

Ican understand people who don't wash more than once a month due to them using their hands. That can be very stressful

There you go!
You just have just spun your second premise the right way!!
Most deaths can be examined away by simple facts.

Nigerians just tend to take the easy way out by ascribing it to something unknown or some supernatural thing instead of learning and making use of such situations to prevent future occurrence.

I can bet you in the last 3 years. This isn't the first case i have seen on Nairaland. But everyone just comes up saying they were killed and placed there, magun, spiritual attack etc without bringing up any iota of evidence to support their postulations.

This analysis of yours is a most interesting one. You are guilty of what you blame another of.

First off: Carbon monoxide cannot react with oxygen to form carbon dioxide under ambient temperatures. You have to actually "burn" carbon monoxide in oxygen (even as a part of air) to form carbon dioxide. Essentially, you require an elevated temperature to facilitate that reaction. Once the carbon monoxide leaves the engine and is emitted into the surrounding, the conditions are no longer viable for the reaction.

The second premise in your argument is also debatable but can hold some water, depending on how it is spun.
https://www.abe.iastate.edu/extension-and-outreach/carbon-monoxide-poisoning-vehicles-aen-208/

This should clear it for you.

What causes carbon monoxide poisoning from vehicles?

1. Operating a vehicle with a defective exhaust system.
2. Operating a vehicle with a defective emission system or poorly tuned engine.
3. Driving a vehicle with the trunk lid or rear tailgate open.
4. Driving a vehicle with holes in the car body.




99% of Nigerian cars have the check engine light on. When you point it out to most car owners they tell you it is nothing. Just a faulty o2 sensor or another sensor they say. And since we don't do emissions testing when going for Road worthiness , i am sure this car won't even bw certified road worthy in a sane environment.

Broh, your explanation doesn't check out. What of houses that don't even open their windows but have their AC on. A functional AC is suppose to improve the quality of air circulated into the room. You need to go recheck the working principle of AC, modern AC ooo, not some 1990-something AC
Do those House ACs produce CO2 like the exhaust of cars?

Why do you think we hear tens of deaths on a yearly basis about families that died from generator fumes?
RomanceRe: 2 Lovers Found Dead Naked In An SUV In Lagos by o9o9:
Acidosis:
And while they were dying, they couldn't put off the AC, leave the door open for fresh air??

This carbon monoxide theory no be am at all. This is not a case of gun shot or instant death.
Are you guys never tired of this archaic method of ascribing death that is easily explainable?
If you listened to your biology teacher well in high school, you don't need further explanation.


Diffusion and osmosis would have told you that a car isn't 100% sealed even when the windows are wound up so definitely gas moved from region of higher concentration i.e outside to inside. Also we know how lots of used cars in Nigeria are mostly accidented or flooded cars with rust. I won't be surprised if the underneath of the car had a lot of rust and holes in it. CO definitely must have passed through there into the car and Made it a coffin for both.

Also CO is crazy, it is colorless, tasteless and odorless. Would kill you in a matter of minutes. What they would feel is a bit of headache and they may ascribe it to the sex. Next you feel nausea and can't even move your limbs and next is death.

Well done.

Same peace mass transit ? Same transport company a friend who travelled to Nnewi some two weeks ago came back and was asking why people still use Peace after seeing another of their bus under the trailer along Benin -Ore expressway?

Instead of spending money trying launder image. Prolly the company should actually invest that money into their drivers and relax the targets ,pay them well and trainnthem properly so they learn to drive within safety road limits.

BusinessRe: Why Do Neighbours Hardly Patronise Their Fellow Neighbour's Business? by o9o9: 8:57pm On Apr 29, 2022
JONNYSPUTE:
..... Sorry about that. But at times those neighbours selling stuffs close to you will be selling at a more exorbitant amount thinking that because they are very close to you,you don't have a choice.

Another is that some sells fake and want to manipulate you into buying it because you are all neighbours

Let me give you an example. A woman that owns a super store very close to me sold me an expired bag of rice and when I went back to complain to her,she started making an issue out of it. I left both the bag of rice and the money and till today we have never bought anything from there.

Some are out of jealousy.
So many factors my dear.
I have a car wash next to my house. I don't wash with them anymore. Last time i washed with them ,they billed me exorbitantly after numerous hailing and washed rubbish. Couldn't complain because they were close to home.

Now i wash far away from home where i get satisfaction for fees paid without having to drop money for the boys

Wow congratulations.

When was your file submission? I.e when did it get to IRCC

Is it still possible to recall after it has been submitted to IRCC for processing?

I called VFS last week to ask for updates and if I can recall, the customer services man told me I can't recall once it's been sent to IRCC, that I'll just have to wait till they send it back. Please if you have more info on this please share.
Someone recalled from IRCC.
Sent a mail to them that they should return the passports. Said it was delivered back in 7 days.

Email : LDNimmigration@international.gc.ca

If yours has reached up to 30days i believe you should still hold out. I recall seeing a mail whwre they stataed 30 working days to fullfil such requests.

dboY1123:
I have been on/off from my work(shop) for 2weeks now, I have this new worker who is a Muslim and I am a Christian, of course, I am not against her religion or anything, I still grant her the permission to attend mosque every Friday afternoon and I always try to be at shop by 2pm, or get someone to replace her..

Today I came to shop and the first thing I noticed was that she allowed one Alfa that I know very well, into the shop(she knows it is not allowed), my mind told me they were both reciting the Quran before I came in.

Secondly, she told me that she needs to pray (in the shop) that I should excuse her while I had to leave there and go outside..This has never been happening for 3 months she's been here..

Even myself being a Christian, I pray before coming to shop/work.

I wanted to tell her to stop praying in the shop because it is not a praying ground or mosque, should I go ahead?

I am not against her religion whatsoever, even she reads the Quran quietly in the shop and there's no issue about that.
I actually empathise with you. But i think what is needed is more of an understanding . Muslim prayers are time bound. I.e have specific times they must be said. I guess she not leaving the shop and praying in there is based on the fact that she is required to be available during all hours of work which puts her in a difficult position as regards her religion. It is easier for a Christian in a work environment as you can schedule your prayer times but not the other way round.

I think you should speak to her. If she can find someplace outside the shop premises to say her prayers , fine and okay. You should also be willing to be accomodate that she would be away for about 5mins each at 2pm and 4pm on a daily basis.

If this would not work for you . Then you have to let her know about this. There's no harm in open and honest communication as long as it is not prejudiced.

By all means follow your gut feeling. Let that same girl travel out of Naija to a Western culture and see how less religious she'll become. Hypocrites!

The 1st year I arrived Yankee, I worked at a restaurant, as a dishwasher, along with this other muslim guy from Ivory Coast. At the end of the year, we were given bonuses including a bottle of white wine each. Ivorian dude said he didn't want the wine cos he's a muslim. Ok then, pls Umar, kindly take it from the manager and gimme the wine, he said he couldn't touch it... Wine in a bottle!

I was so livid. Then, I reminded him how he washes the pots used in cooking pork religiously. How he also washes glasses customers drink their liquor in. I told him; "Dude, you're a damn hypocrite, because by the standard you claim to uphold, you shouldn't work here."

Long story short, I had long forgotten about the bottle of wine when I felt Umar tap me from behind. "Here's the wine", he said. Really? He had thought deep and hard about how bigotry is plain folly.
This is actually daft. If he received the alcoholic drink and hand it over to you. He is more like an alibi for causing sin. Buying alcohol for someone as a Muslim is termed as a sin. So he gifting you is almost equal to using his money to buy it for you.

You lots need to understand other people's religion and ask questions before jumping into conclusion.

That's clearly different from him washing a pot /plate used in making Pork. There are clear differences in things. Also eating Pork isn't a sin, it's more of an injunction from health perspectives which is clearly different from Alcohol which is an intoxicant and when taken you can't control your actions when under the influence and cansue other greater sins.

16years of experience should be bagging nothing less than 1.5 to 2M with the current realities in Nigeria and inflation trends.

I have got offers that would pay slightly higher than that and years of experience is below a decade.

That's why i believe lots of people should start talking about their salaries. All these keeping secrets about what you earn only benefits employers.

Cars are now made to be softer and extend the crumple zone so when you have accidents. The car takes the hit and not the occupants. This car did exceptionally well. Even those that died might be sitting at the back and not using their sit belts and were flung out of the car.

From there get a bus going to Costain
From Costain take another bus to Orile.
And from Orile you get a bus to Mile 2.
From Mile 2 you get a bus going to Lasu gate/Ojoo.

From Oshodi to Mile 2
And from Mile 2 to Lasu gate/ojo.

Please if you find out. Let me know.

I have the address and the fees.

Seems it i listed this way



So in essence you are to pay 16.15 GBP per applicant. So if you have 3 passports. I guess that's *3 . We need to confirm this.

Also you pay 74.00 GBP for return outside the UK (please note this does not cover Nigeria) just Norway, Denmark and Sweden and need to sign the consent form for Authorised courier company or your Family friend that would pick up.
@lloid and graciousWords.


Figured the process now.

So it's straightforward.

Gather all documents required. Print out the vfs consent form from VFS UK site.

Fill for each applicant including minors.

Vfs Uk can send out of the UK zone only (i.e only Denmark, Nowary and Sweden) and not back to Nigeria.

Pay the Visa transmission fee for each applicant including minors(They confirmed you have to as the transmission is for the passport ) so every applicant has to be paid for.

Pay the local uk courier fee or outside Uk courier fee. Please note this fee is also per applicant. I.e if you have 5 family members it is 5* courier fee.

Get someone you have in the UK or any of the countries above and get their address. Print their details i.e Address on an A4 and add it to the Package).

Then go to your local DHL and ship to the UK vfs address. They would ship back to the address you tpyed out.

Pls double check before you pay, I'm not sure that London VFS "outside UK courier" covers Nigeria, I believe it's only for some select countries in Europe....unless there has been a change.

I think they can return your package to an address in the UK that's the "within UK one-way courier" (your friend or family can later send it to you). Also DHL are probably allowed to collect from London like they do for Cairo but not 100% sure....you may have to still pay transmission fee as well as one way courier...I have no personal experience with this though so I may be wrong....hopefully those who do will help out.
Yeah you are right. Their outside of uk only covers Norway, Denmark, finland and Sweden.
