‎My fart smells terribly. I honestly didn’t pay much attention to it before, but this thing is becoming a serious concern.

‎Last Sunday, I was in church and mistakenly released a fart. Before I could even process what had happened, everybody sitting around me took of. in fact some other people joined them in running thinking that it was an emergency. The funny part was that I joined them in running. 😔
‎
‎To make matters worse, a girl recently spent the night at my place. I farted while she was there, she screamed and ran out of the house to the balcony for fresh air. When the smell subsided, she abused me, packed her things, and told me to seek medical attention. According to her, This is no longer normal.

‎The embarrassing part is that I know it smells because I can actually perceive it myself. Sometimes, after farting in my room, I have to open all the windows, put on the fan, spare air freshener and evacuate the premises for a few hours before returning.
‎
‎But seriously, I genuinely want to know what could be causing this. Has anyone experienced something similar? What did you do about it, and did you eventually find out the cause?
‎
‎Please, Nairaland doctors and experienced people, help a brother.

Mods please move to the front page for wider views. Thanks.

A sensible first approach is:
- Keep a 7–14 day food and symptom diary, noting what you eat and when the worst gas occurs.
- Try eliminating one major suspect at a time, rather than changing everything simultaneously. Lactose is a good first experiment: avoid milk and ordinary dairy for about two weeks and see whether there is a clear difference.
- Temporarily cut back on very sulfur-heavy foods such as eggs, large amounts of meat, onions, garlic, cabbage and broccoli.
- If you are constipated, address that—regular bowel movements often reduce both gas volume and smell.
- Avoid gulping air through fizzy drinks, chewing gum, drinking through straws, or eating very quickly.
- Probiotics can help some people, but they can actually worsen gas in others, so I would not randomly start several supplements at once.
I would see a doctor rather than relying purely on home experiments if this is a substantial recent change, especially if it continues for several weeks. A doctor may consider stool testing, lactose intolerance, coeliac screening, infection, or other gastrointestinal causes depending on your symptoms.
Seek medical attention sooner if the foul gas comes with unexplained weight loss, blood or black stool, persistent diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, fever, repeated vomiting, significant abdominal swelling, or pale/greasy floating stool.
One useful clue: frequency, stool changes, and foods matter more diagnostically than how nuclear the smell is. If you tell me whether you also have bloating, constipation/diarrhea, stomach pain, and what you typically eat in a day, I can help narrow down the most likely causes.

these countries were christians until the 7th and 8th Centuries when Arab Muslim invaders force-converted them.

Since my one year plan finishes. Thats when I know what Nigerians are going true on daily/weekly or monthly interest subscriptions.

I am not heavy data user but moderately. There are some month I do not use much while I used heavy in some month which help to cover the 1 year plan.

Due to economic reasons i'm unable to sub a 1 year now. But unfortunately I have used close to 10k in a week from smell smell sub.

if you have fiberx in your area, you will get as low as 25k per month for unlimited internet

Hello nairalanders, about 6 days ago i re-sprayed my car from dark blue to white. I told the guy that normally does my car papers for me and he asked me to do an affifavid and police report, which i paid him to do.

Yesterday i was driving and the police stopped me, i showed them my complete documents and the affifavid and police report too of the "change of colour I did"

That was when he initially noticed that i have changed the car colour, he called his colleagues that are around and stopping other cars ny by the other side of the road and they took my car to the station, that the affifavid and police report that i did isn't enough to back the change of colour that i did. Please is it really possible and true that the affifavid and police report isn't enough to back up the change of colour that i did? My car is still at the station at the moment, i don't have the 250k they're requesting to bail the car, i have been pleading for 100k but they refused.

Yes — the police are correct on the narrow legal point, but the ₦250,000 “bail” demand is a separate issue that should not simply be accepted without documentation.

The important distinction is:

An affidavit + police report does not itself constitute approval to change the registered colour of a vehicle.

Under Nigeria's National Road Traffic Regulations, where a vehicle's colour is changed, the owner is required to apply for approval from the appropriate authority using Form MVA 6 before changing the colour. After approval and payment of the prescribed fee, a new vehicle licence reflecting the new colour is issued, and the vehicle's registration records are updated.

So if the car was originally registered as dark blue and the official vehicle records still say dark blue, repainting it white and carrying an affidavit/police report does not automatically update the vehicle's registration.

What the owner should do now

1. Don't pay the ₦250,000 blindly.

Ask the officers:

What exactly is the offence?
What law/regulation am I alleged to have violated?
What is the offence/charge number?
Is the ₦250,000 an official fine, bail bond, administrative fee, or something else?
Can I have the demand in writing/receipt?

This is crucial. The official FRSC offence framework provides prescribed penalties and payment through government channels; for example, FRSC specifically says prescribed fines should be paid into the Federal Government Revenue Account/Remita, rather than simply handing cash to an officer.

2. Go to the Motor Licensing Authority/VIO/FRSC office with the vehicle documents.

The objective should be to regularise the colour change, not argue endlessly at the police station.

The current FRSC vehicle-registration system itself treats colour as a vehicle-registration field, alongside the plate number, chassis number, engine number, etc.

Take:

Proof of Ownership Certificate
Vehicle licence
Registration papers
Driver's licence
Insurance
Customs documents, if available
Existing affidavit
Police report
Any receipt/payment evidence
Photographs of the vehicle
Evidence of the repainting, if available

Ask specifically for the procedure to change the registered vehicle colour from the old colour to white.

3. Get the official colour change approval/update.

Once the relevant authority approves it and the prescribed fees are paid, the vehicle's records should reflect white. The regulations expressly provide for a new vehicle licence after an approved colour change.

The interesting part: the ₦250k

This is where I would be very cautious.

The regulations I found state that changing colour without the required approval is an offence, with a stated penalty of ₦3,000 or imprisonment for six months or both upon conviction.

That does not mean ₦3,000 is necessarily the total amount they might lawfully require to regularise the vehicle, because there can be legitimate administrative/inspection/licensing charges. But a demand for ₦250,000 simply described as "bail for the car" deserves scrutiny.

If this person genuinely owns the car and all the underlying vehicle documents are authentic, I would not recommend borrowing ₦250k and handing it over informally.

If the police refuse to release the car

He should calmly say something along these lines:

"Officer, I am willing to regularise the colour change and comply with any lawful requirement. Please provide the offence/charge and the official amount payable, including the relevant government account or payment channel."

If they are alleging an actual criminal offence, he should ask for the formal allegation and bail conditions rather than negotiating the amount like a commercial transaction.

He can also contact the relevant FRSC channels. FRSC currently publishes 122 as its toll-free number, as well as 0700-CALL-FRSC.

And if the police station is demanding money without a receipt or formal basis, a lawyer should get involved immediately, particularly if they are refusing to release the vehicle despite the owner offering to comply with the registration process.

One more thing

The person who "normally does my car papers" may have seriously misled him.

The owner apparently paid this person to handle the colour-change documentation. If that person told him:

"Just do affidavit + police report and you're covered."

that advice appears to have been incomplete. The regulations specifically require approval from the appropriate authority before the colour is changed.

So I'd pursue two separate issues:

Get the vehicle legally regularised — change the official colour from blue to white.
Find out exactly what the ₦250k represents — don't treat an undocumented police demand as automatically legitimate.

Also, the fact that he has an affidavit and police report is still useful: keep them. They can help demonstrate that the colour change wasn't an attempt to disguise the vehicle or alter its identity. But they don't replace the statutory colour-change approval.

Where to stream free?

I dont know why @seun is allowing this kind of poll on Nairaland. This poll reeks of tribal sentiments and bigotry.

QuinQ:
Sure, Tinubu social engineering like this below. Do you see how he engineered it? Genius!

Clap for yourselves! Obi has won the presidency of Nairaland!

he has time to be gallivanting without mission about. Let the Governor of the State pay a visit to the school not to talk of the PBAT. This crowd is bound to come out anytime a public figure show up. All these hypes about organic love is already demsytified.

I do not completely agree with you on this.
Organisations are not ready to let people grow into roles. Tosin talking, let him come and tell us his work experience before founding Moniepoint.

The reality is that the challenges are enormous and not restricted to the candidates.

Because they saw the camera

Kukutente23:
You don't need to resort to threats when you've been defeated by facts
Just shush

What you put up as facts are evidence of ignorance and sentimental disconnect from realities. Nobody is threatening you. I am just giving you my two pence. When they pick you up and sue your "ass", you will not come here and be shouting "infringement of your fundamental human rights".

Kukutente23:
Pass your lecture notes over to bloomberg
Keep defending looters of our commonwealth just because of a politician
The reasons for not charging him does not cover any of your conjecture. There was no doubt in the mind of the prosecutors about his guilt. He also knew his best bet to escape serious legal repercussions is settlement.
I'm sure bloomberg know what they were doing him when they applied the label of convict on him.
Rest

I hope that one day, you will not eat this shit you wrote here.

Kukutente23:
The plea bargain entered and fine paid is an admission of guilt and tantamount to a conviction
You can see that even bloomberg called him a convict and he's yet to sue them for that but you're claiming he'll sue me for defamation

The statement is shaky and potentially misleading. While a plea bargain that involves a guilty plea is typically an admission of guilt and results in a conviction, not all plea arrangements work that way—some involve “no contest” pleas, deferred prosecution agreements, or civil settlements, none of which necessarily amount to a conviction. So saying it is automatically “tantamount to a conviction” is an overgeneralization and can be factually wrong depending on the case. The argument that Bloomberg called him a convict doesn’t really help either, because major media organizations use carefully vetted legal language, and the fact that they haven’t been sued doesn’t make the statement universally safe or accurate. Defamation risk is personal—someone can choose not to sue a large media house for strategic or practical reasons but still pursue action against an individual. Bottom line: unless there is a clear, documented conviction, calling someone a “convict” is risky and potentially defamatory; it’s safer and more accurate to describe the situation in precise terms, such as saying the person entered a plea agreement or resolved the matter with authorities.

Kukutente23:
Go back and read and stop making conjecture
This is a criminal issue not some civil suit
He was indicted and the main ground for plea bargain was because he was not resident in the US
Again, can I understand why exactly you're defending a man that was obviously used by Abacha to laundering billions of dollars of Nigerian funds?

Was he prosecuted and convicted? Your claim was that he was convicted in the US. There are clearly distinctions betweenythe two

Kukutente23:
It's you who don't know Jack about how the law in the US works
In indictment means presence of strong evidence of a crime
Is you enter into plea bargain, it signals an acceptance of guilt and a readiness for restitution to avoid going to trial
Go and get properly enlightened instead of defending criminals
Buying and selling indeed

Plea Bargaining is not necessarily an admission of guilt. It could be the party under probe stand to lose more if the case goes to court. The indicted may consider several factors such as personal/business reputational Damage, loss of revenue/income, distractions to set objectives etc.

Kukutente23:
Yes but settling after indictment is an admission of guilt
It's a plea bargain to prevent going to a full trial
Get properly enlightened

Its clear you do not understand the way law works. There are many reason why a Business Man will want to avoid a court case but what do you know? Its not buying and selling.

Kukutente23:
When you settle an indictment out of court, you summarily accept your guilt. That's what it means. If you read, you'll see where it was clearly written that he was indicted in a probe but was not charged because he wasn't resident in the US then among other factors. Paying a fine is a conviction
Go and get yourself properly educated!!
You can see bloomberg called him a convict

Indicted in a probe is not the same as convicted in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Kukutente23:
Lol
See confusion
He was convicted in Switzerland but has never been convicted in any court
You see your life
Keep defending Chagoury OK
Maybe you should warn Bloomberg too too stop calling him a convict

https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/lebanese-nigerian-billionaire-and-two-associates-resolve-federal-probe-alleged

Resolution and Convictions are two different things. Not every court case leads to conviction. Go back to School Chief!

Kukutente23:
First of all, Chagoury is a convict in the US. I'm not aware of Obi or Atiku being convicts anywhere in the world. Secondly, being a financier of a terrorist organisation as you are implying that Chagoury is, is not simply a business relationship. That's a crime just as money laundering which Chagoury was convicted for on behalf of Abacha is a crime and not simply a business relationship. But I don't expect you to know these things since you support the same APC that brought bandits into the country. I'm sure in your warped logic, the bandits were brought in as tourists

Be careful of what you put out. Chagouri has never been convicted by any court of competent jurisdiction both in US or in Nigeria. It is the CIA that blacklisted him because of his political affiliations. Get educated. Stop peddling false narratives to suit your biases. It is criminal defamation . He was convicted of money laundering in Switzerland. The conviction was later cleared after a settlement was reached. Use google.

Kukutente23:
You mean Dangote is a bagman for all former Presidents including the same Buhari that hates corrufshun?
So you guys are defending Chagoury now?

Nobody is defending Chagouri. It is obvious you people lacked the common sense to reason with your brain. Whatever the sentimentalization you may have, it does not change the way of the world. Your Principal moving with the same structure of corruption he so vilified in 2023 is also towing the same path of Chagouri. Chagouri allegedly funded Michel Aoun(former Lebanese president and a Christian) who was in a political alliance with Hezbollah, which the U.S. classifies as a terrorist organization. It is more of Business Relationship.

Get Educated.

You people are fond of twisting history to suit yourselves. Chagouri is a business man like Dangote. Reasonable Businessmen are apolitical. They are not beclouded with emotions like the lots of you. They are "Any Government In Power". They understand that Its only about interests not personalities.

Went through the comments. I hope everyone venting here has Voters Cards and they will Coe out to vote in 2027.When APC defeats your party in 2027, dont scream Rigging o, especially if you did not have voters card or come out to vote.

Must they have kings every where they go? The same thing happened in Ghana

Why can the pastor not heal him? What happened to the miraculous powers he has been preaching and using to get more crowd to his business?

it is either she is a prude or she is pretending to you. She knows what the man wants but she does not want to hurt her sister or him. The man will eventually run her wella. Tell her the man is not interested in anything serious with her sister.

ibechris:
Still the most credible fellow.

Do u know what it means to be a former governor and yet no-one can say whether in the past or present that this good man stole money any where.

His records are watertight and indisputable unlike the drug lord of the aziza Republic who has brought reputaional damage to the nation.

Obi anytime,anyday.

We have been saying he stole money, but you people did not want to listen. Putting state money in your banks is not stealing?

people voting are not on the internet. they dont know anything about polling.
