Family / Re: I Lost My Wife (a Nairalander) by OldSoul1: 5:53pm On Sep 02, 2022
May the Lord give you the strength and fortitude to bear the loss of your beloved wife.
If you don't mind, can you share what led to her untimely death, at that very young age. Note that talking about it can help you in the grief process.
God be with you and all your family members.
Health / Re: Please Help! How Can I Treat Chronic Catarrh That Has Lasted More Than 8yrs by OldSoul1: 6:14pm On Jun 21, 2021
You are definitely suffering from allergies!
Go see a doctor that specializes in allergies to identify what exactly you are allergic to.
Am suspecting dust. There may be others. Check your living environment for mold and mildew.
Have you been living in the same environment for this past 8 years? Am sure a change of environment might be of help.

Gvnl:
Good evening everyone and Happy Sunday.

This Catarrh has lasted for almost 9yrs now. I've taken different medications but it's still persisting.

I have also done some laboratory test and taken prescribed medication, but no permanent solution.

Please help what else should or can I do to put an end to this menace.

Thank you.

Family / Re: Ladies How Do You Deal With Menstrual Cramps? What actually Works For You by OldSoul1: 10:37pm On May 21, 2021
faithugo64:
menstrual cramps are painful
sensations felt in the inner thighs, lower abdomen and back that can
occur both before and during a woman's
menstrual period. The pain ranges from dull
and annoying to severe and extreme. The pain is usually a result of the uterus contracting to expel blood.
Dysmenorrhea is the medical term for menstrual cramps.

Not all ladies experience this,some have no pain at all, in some the discomfort is mild and some others get very bad cramps

I have a friend who vomits each time she gets her period,yes! hers is that bad

Sometimes it gets so bad that i don't feel like going out at all,i just stay in bed all day and if I have someplace really important to go to, I resort to pain relievers.

For me,it usually gets better after the 1st day of my period,I feel lesser pain on the second day and nothing at all on the third and fourth day


tell us how you deal with this discomfort,what works for you

you might save someone from this nightmare

Extremely painful menstruation is usually one of the symptoms of an underlying gynaecological condition.
Advise your friend to do an MRI scan of her pelvis (with specific emphasis on the endometrial cavity). What she is trying to rule out is a condition called endometriosis! You can also read about it.

Reason why I didn’t ask her to see a gynaecologist first is because many of them, unfortunately, due to their training and practice environment, believe painful menstruation is not big of a deal.
Once the result is out, then she can go see a gynaecologist.
Good luck to you and your friend.

Note:
This is a pointer to all you ladies in this same situation!
Religion / Re: Is My Problem Spiritual Or Medical? by OldSoul1: 6:20pm On Feb 15, 2021
ChilledPill:
Please I just want to know if what I am passing has any spiritual undertone or if it is a medical problem, and is there anybody that you know who has or had a problem like mine?

I always snore every night in my sleep I mean a heavy snore that someone outside the building can clearly hear me snoring and this always lasted to 30mins anytime I retire to sleep.

The second is that I always have a terrible night filled with horror and scaring nightmares in my dream from Sunday night to Monday morning every week, horror scenes and scary, walking in a lonely and dark places in my sleep, running with someone chasing me and sometimes I will fall and then I will wake up, feeling of fatigue when I wake.

PS: I don't watch horror movies.

I have never believed in spiritual life but now I am having doubts that someone may be after my life and attacking me spiriually.

I have prayed to the extent I am having doubts in mind that there is no God that answers prayer


“My people perish for lack of knowledge”.
It’s very sad that you Nigerians are too fast to attribute everything to spiritual problems.
What you have is medical! Period!
it’s a condition called sleep apnea. Obtrusive sleep apnea is when your throat muscles (especially back of your tongue) relax such that you are unable to breathe in properly, the result is the loud sound that you produce because you are struggling to take in required oxygen level (air). People with this condition, while asleep, can stop breathing for a few seconds or minutes, and because the brain is failing to receive the necessary oxygen level, the “stand by” generator in your belly kicks in (thank God for this) and sends power into your brain to tell you you are dying and suddenly wakes you up. When you wake up, you are tired and fatigued because the brain did not receive the necessary nutrients through the oxygen.
The nightmares you are having are as a result of the sleep stage you are in: while you are in a period of deep sleep, your brain at the same time, is in an unknown realm (due to lack of oxygen). OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) can kill or lead to stroke if not treated.
When you hear someone died in a sleep, it may not be unconnected to this condition!

What to do:
1. For now avoid sleeping on your back.
2. look into CPAP machine or
3. Oral devices for snoring!

Wish you good health buddy!

Family / Re: I Cause Pain To A Lot Of People by OldSoul1: 8:17pm On May 22, 2020
Divine89:
Hello everybody. I am Nigerian based in France. My English it is not 100% perfect but I will try to make it possible for you to understand me with the help of google french to English translator and my story is also long sorry for that.

When I was 9 years old I joined my uncle, my mum's younger brother in France. He declared me as his daughter. During that time he only had one child, 2 years old. He and the wife were so loving to me. I never lacked anything in their house.

But when I turned 12, I went to secondary school. I met some bad friends there. This is where the problem started.I became a very difficult child. I will go to school come home late. My uncle will beat and beat me but I never listened. I smoked my first cigarette at 12 and had my first sex at 13 and I started running away from home to stay with boyfriends. Sometimes I can go for a week and when uncle reporta me missing, the police will be looking for me, then they will bring me back home.

Then at 14 I went to school and lied to my teacher that my uncle was abusing me. I told them he was beating me with belts, electric wire, they don’t give me foods and I really said a lot of bad things about them doing to me to make my teacher believe my story so they could take me away from them because I wanted freedom and my teacher believed me and reported to the police and child protection, they are people who take away abused children from their parents. They took custody of me and my uncle three children, the youngest was 6 months old to their care and they gave us to this white lady to care for us and my uncle and wife were arrested for child abuse and the police were doing some investigation.

After spending 1yr 9 months in care of the white lady I dropped out school. They found out that I was a difficult child that I lied to get freedom so they have decided to give my uncle his children back to him while I stayed in care of white people but my uncle had sworn because I made him lost his children for 1yr 9 months that I will never found happiness in my life and I will never enjoy the fruit of my labour which it is true as I am typing this.

I have given birth to 6 children by 6 men and none of the children is living with me. The first one was taken away from me at 2 months old because I beat her up and fractured her hands and I also tested positive for heroinn (drugs), so that did not stop me from giving birth second child was removed from my care 4 hours after birth she also tested positive for heroin the same way my other children were removed at birth too so I carry on with my lifestyles. I did not care about my children at that time all I care about was sex, alcohol and drugs this is what I wanted and I have been to prison several times for selling drugs and fraudsters. The longest I have spent in prison was 2 years then after i left prison, I met with this sister who introduced me to this church she attended so I went along with her, the pastor told me to confess my sin to him and promised it will be a secret between I, him and God which I did repented and accepted Jesus as my saviour. To be honest, my life did changed a lot, I fell the peace in my heart , enjoyed going to church every Sunday but this pastor went tell his wife my life story and the wife told everyone in church my life story and started using it against me so it made me so angry that I left the church in November 2017 without looking back. I have decided not to attend any church again. I have stopped alcohol, taking drugs and sleeping with men I no longer do it. I prayed at home, read my bible and behaving good and it's almost 2 years I havnt slept with a man and i went to look for my uncle asking him for forgiveness but he has refused and I send him many text messages begging him to forgive and I still no heard anything from him or the wife even their children I have tried to ask them forgiveness they have blocked me and they all want nothing to do with me even my own parents and siblings in Africa they have rejected me, none of them want to talk to me, my parents said i am dead to them, it is so painful I cry everyday in my prayers, as for my children 4 of them are adopted with new family. I can't see them again maybe until they are 18 years old If they want to know me if they don't want I will have no choice to accept it and my 2 youngest children i am only allowed to see them once a year in a children play centre with someone supervise because they don't let me to be alone with them and soon I will stop visiting them because they are planning to adopt them to a new family too that will mean I will have nobody on this earth.

I regret my mistake so bad I wish I could change it but it will no be impossible. I can't have more children because they will be removed from me like the others and I am only 31years old. I don't know if my repentance was genius because my family has refused to forgive me and my question goes like this if they never forgive me will I ever found happiness again or I will just have to accept it until I died?

Please, advise me in a Christian way maybe if there's more I can do and also prayed for me so my family will be able to forgive me and also pray for my two children that nobody will adopt them so I can get custody of them and i promised to be a good mother to them, please I am begging you in the name of God.


For you to pour all these shows you must have changed in many ways. In life, some people have to go through difficult situations to make them change for the better. Some will go to jail for many years and while released with still go back to their old ways of life, and again get sent back to prison. Some people will require more than second chance to realize their past mistakes. You seem to fall into this category.
Am not going to blame you for all you did in the past to your uncle. You were too tenderly young when you were shipped away from your parents off to an uncle in Europe... that was the first mistake of your parents! In their minds they were doing the right thing by letting you go, what they did not realize is Europe is a free land. You are so free to do whatever and make as many mistakes that can even cost you your life. There are many government agencies working hard to ensure that “trouble” kids are taking away from their parents and guardians for little mistakes so they can remain relevant professionally and thus keep their own economy going. Peer pressure is strong in all societies, but way stronger in advanced societies! It takes strong and committed parents with prayers to have well trained children in these parts of the world.
I must commend you for your sincere repentance from your junkie life. Now is the time to proof your genuineness by engaging yourself in self development programs. You need to be a part of any organization that is into helping people... this is important so you can remain grounded and not relapse. Trust me you are still very young and can still contribute meaningfully to your society.
Regarding your uncle and his family, you can not force them back into your life, they can never forget what you made them go through, but keep praying for them and praising God on their behalf. One day, if they hear or see you have really changed, they might cautiously allow you back into their. For your parents, you must keep trying until you are able to talk to them, let them know how much you have changed and ask them to forgive you if they can. Tell them to keep praying for you.
As you already know that in order to get your remaining 2 kids back from the government, you must proof that you have changed a great deal! You have a stable job and life. It’s takes time but it’s in your hands. You can do it! I will be here rooting for you!
Romance / Re: Should I Break Up Or Make Up With My Boyfriend? by OldSoul1: 2:41am On May 22, 2020
First off, marriage is not for fainted minds. It looks like you both are at a stage where you are ready to take the bold step. The question however, is are you the right girl for him and vice versa. It’s good to have ambition in life, to have dreams and aspirations.It’s also great to be over ambitious, on the other side, it can be dangerous as it comes with many sacrifices!
Going to school, learning a trade, getting a job, getting married are all ambition. When it comes to marriage my dear, you both have to be on the same page when it comes to ambition and or over ambition. If you are not on the same page, you will fight quite often, and be unhappy, ultimately resulting in the down fall of your union.
You talked about not wanting your children to suffer, that’s interesting because to you Nigerians, too much money is required to not make children suffer! Have you thought about the future whereby your kids have at least a parent spending lots of quality time with them? As much as money is important, if both parents are always out there chasing after money, all in the name of over ambition, it will no doubt have an adverse effect on how you raise those future kids! Money doesn’t always equal quality.
With all you said about yourself, you definitely have what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur in life, believe you me, that is your calling and there is no shame in that. Your bf on the other hand, seems to be satisfied with a simple life. Note! You can not change him! My advice for you is to break up with this guy and look for someone with the same ambition as yours, good luck if you find one!

Martinez39s:
The divorce court system isn't bothered by that. As long as the woman claims she was made to sign the prenup under duress, the court will toss the prenup aside.
Get your facts right bud! No one signs prenup under duress! The process is clearly Explained to you before you sign on the dotted lines. You either sign or not. You sign if you have no hidden agenda or decline if you have one; or in some cases feel spited.

Prenups are nothing but glorified toilet papers over there. A judge could toss them aside for whatever reason. If the wife claims she was made to sign the prenup under duress, she would be automatically believed even if there is no evidence to back up her claim, and the prenup would be annulled.

Prenups no be moimoi guys! First it’s for wealthy people to safeguard their wealth, plus it usually involves lawyers and fees are quite expensive!

My only advice for you is to separate from this woman ASAP! If truly she said she was going destroy your career, and she is truly behaving these ways you claimed, please don’t take it lightly as she will do way more than that! If you live in a country like US or someplace in Europe, believe you me, she will destroy your entire life!
She already had a game plan all this while she was in Nigeria. She seems to be a woman on a mission and she won’t stop until she achieves her aim.
