Happen most times during the rain y season especially in Lagos.

They didn't check the fuel well as water must have entered the underground tank, before dispensing duel to customers.

Desist from showcasing tribal bigotry. It will do you a whole lot of good.

Always excuses.

We excuse every single thing, that's why the country is where it is because there's always someone who makes excuses for incompetence

What u say is real but even the white man drug over the counter they causes kidney failure, so na the mercy of God keep u alive simple

If 1 million people take ibuprofen, 1 person will suffer kidney problems

If 1 million people take these herbal concoctions, 1000 persons will suffer kidney problems

Choose carefully.

Kidney failure is real.

The solution to kidney failure is not prayers and seeking for a destiny helper.

The solution is avoiding all these funny herbal/alcoholic concoctions

Medianna:
You can make your point without insults you know!!

Not true.
Sometimes you need to clearly realise what a stupid thing you've said, and the stupid things you believe

Medianna:
Technology is different from nature...leave that one. Till date can you explain how water is inside coconut??

Your own mental laziness is on another level

Just use your dam.n phone to cure your ignorance. It takes 1 second to know why there's water inside a coconut

Suddenly God is blessing every previously childless couple with twins, triplets, quadruples, quintuplets etc. Not even a single baby anymore.

And we are told this has nothing to do with IVF, it's a "miracle"

nurain150:
Yeh ibuprofen is simple analgesics. When it was said you guys know nothing about drugs I just believed now.


Guy go ask your Lecturers if ibuprofen is a simple analgesics.

Lol. So you don't know what an NSAID is. And perhaps you can't even identify what class of NSAIDS is ibuprofen talkless of identification of the structures. Guy just diagnose Lol.


How can you open your mouth to say ibuprofen is a simple analgesic.


Please na. I'm begging stop capping.

I guess you're more intelligent than WHO

Ignorant clown sounding off on the Internet lol

nurain150:
Ibuprofen for headache is it migraine?


Shouldn't be dispenesed in the first place. We have simple analgesia for that

I can't believe what I'm reading from you.

Are you really banging on about ibuprofen?

What is ibuprofen if not a simple analgesic?

This is how you people think you're undermining doctors whilst exposing that you really know little about your supposed area of expertise

eskimoeze:
This test shouldn't be applied to Nigerians. A lot of Nigerians speak English fluently more than the native Americans, British or Australians.

Do you really and truly believe what you've just written lol

How exactly can you speak English better than English speakers. Who judges what is better?

We can speak Nigerian English better than everyone, but English in this context is British English and Nigerians don't and can't speak it better than British people

Not long had mine

Klimltdz:
In African Tradition

Having this boy in an event to me is like inviting devil as the chairman of the party

Lol I like how you lot cover up your personal views with African tradition.

Which African tradition taught you about devil or which tradition advises a chairman for every party.

I hope you know Devil is a Christian creation, and that chairman of a party is a borrowed culture for us

nurain150:
Oh damn man. you shouldn't go this way.
A Lecturer is a scientist and researcher not a sec school teacher, someone whose work is published on several journals

But you already admitted she has no hands on experience regarding covid. And that she is completely dependent on those who have hands on experience and whatever data they transmit to her.

How is it that you trust her judgment over what the actual scientists say?

nurain150:
Lol don't display ignorance here. In medical statistics we use data collected from America due to strong policy. We can't rely on Nigeria data. As per she hasn't seen it under the microscope it maybe true or not. But we have lecturers who has spent years of research in virus.

Good lord ha

You don't trust the doctors, scientists, researchers with hands on experience studying coronavirus in the laboratory.

But you trust some random datasets 'from America', transmitted to Nigeria and interpreted by statisticians!

You can't make this up

godofuck231:
No effect in Nigerians, if we beat ebola covid na pepper when them take wrap tissue papper

At least people were scared shi.tless of Ebola. Nobody doubted of Ebola is real or not. Everybody ran into their homes and took extreme precaution.

But with covid, because younger people have mild symptoms, they're pushing this narrative that covid is a scam, while older people are paying the price for the misinformation

omojeesu:
That's where your deception comes from. They are all compromised and complicit including your WHO!

Everyone is compromised. Everyone is up to a grand deception. Everyone is pushing this pandemic agenda. And you're the only person with superior knowledge of the subject. With no laboratory nor microscope, nor even a magnifying lens. But you just know that covid is deception.
Give your head a wobble man.

nurain150:
My clinical lecturer said it is a scam.

We just do copy copy when it comes to stats.

In his whole life, your clinical lecturer has never seen coronavirus under a microscope.

Yet you trust him over people whose job it is to study coronavirus.

I swear, our reasoning is upside down in this country

tnerro1:
Why is nobody talking about people that have been fully vaccinated even with the booster shots are still getting infected with the new strain, why is no one asking “how come”?

Because everybody understands that the covid vaccine, like any other vaccine, isn't 100% effective at preventing covid. No one has ever claimed that it is, not even the manufacturers.
It is however more than 99% effective at preventing death or severe disease requiring ICU care

Yezzy:
Can't say it's not a scam. But a friend of mine just got covid. And currently in yabà hospital together with two of her house mate.

Can you explain your thinking to me please.

You of all people have a friend who currently has covid yet you continue to doubt whether covid is real or not.

I'm so confused 8

omojeesu:
Which Medical authorities??

CDC
NICE
BNF
AMC
CMA etc etc etc
Basically every health authority where research is respected rather than people's personal opinion

dasparrow:
They should go and sit down abeg. All these fear mongering will not work. Say no to that poison called covid vaccine. I read a story today of a 26 year old Australian man who died few hours after taking the Pfizer covid vaccine. He died from blood clots which caused his heart to fail. Mainstream Australian media is calling his case 'rare' which is a lie. So many people around the world have lost their loved ones as a result of this vaccine. All I can say is, take the vaccine at your own risk.

Medical authorities who have access to proper information say its rare.

But you, sat in your armchair, think you know better, and claim so many people have died from blood clots.

Who are you?
What is your authority on the matter?
What do you know about blood clots?

Biko go and sit down somewhere with your nonsense conspiracy.

Why are people not expecting the owner of the money to bless the cabbie?

UK and Canada banned African countries over omicron then they realised omicron is spreading so fast in their countries already with over 6000 cases per day in the UK. Then they open back the borders and ask African nations to come in. Unvaccinated African nations are just happy they have been unbanned, oblivious of the real issues and not in the least concerned about their own health or preserving their nations against omicron.

Jpolgar:
You're funny man. PCR expert asking what I mean by 35 cycles. PCR can also pick up dead nucleotides from an old infection. I explained what I meant in a simple sentence so anyone reading would understand & it's too simplistic?
When you publish that book, please tag me. I'd like to have a copy. One love man

The entire time, I thought you were referring to batch cycle testing which is notably done in Ghana to save testing material, I would never have thought anyone would misunderstand the amplification cycle the way you have!

I recognise when people have no further argument, they finish with good wishes.
With that in mind, I'm not sure if you want me to explain your 'dead nucleotide' concept so you can better understand it, but given you haven't really engaged with any of my points, other than pushing the goal post a little further each time, I presume you don't want any further explanations from myself.

Jpolgar:
PCR is kinda like photocopying on a molecular level. The process of replicating the RNA of the virus is called a cycle. For a better explanation, please check out the link below.

https://www.coleparmer.com/tech-article/pcr-process-steps-explained

You're talking to a PCR expert mate. Really funny trying to explain PCR to me.

I see you're referring to replication cycles, and once again, your comment reveals no knowledge of the workings of PCR technology.

"Photocopying on a molecular level"? that's too simplistic. Try thinking of it as "amplifying viral molecules" and you may start to understand it better.
And what is that talk about 35 amplification cycles causing high false positives?
That's what happens when you try to learn an entire specialism from blog posts.
May be if you think "How many times can I amplify this dot (.) so that I can see it from 6 metres away?" If there's no dot there to start with, even if you amplify it a million times, you will see nothing.
But if there is a dot, however small, you can amplify it until it is visible from 6m away, whether it takes 40 or 60 amplification cycles to get to that point, and that is not a false positive!

You have really inspired me to think of writing a book "PCR for Beginners"

Jpolgar:
Are you speaking in general terms or with regards to covid? In general terms, I'll say you're spot on. In regards to covid, not so much. Like I said earlier, above 35 cycles it produces lots of false positives. I'm not sure what the current practice is, but last year, most labs around the world were running PCR above 35 cycles resulting in a large number of cases.

What do you mean 'not so much' in regards to covid? Would be helpful if you clarify your disagreement.

35 cycles of what exactly?

Jpolgar:
.

So basically PCR gives a lot of false positives. I'm sure you're also aware that above 35cycles, the test is basically useless. And yet around the world its been done at 40 cycles & above.

I'll tell you a test that has no false positives at all - coronavirus viral culture.

Culture will correctly identify every case of coronavirus, but will take several days to make a diagnosis, whereas PCR tests are instant in some cases. This means patients can be diagnosed earlier and treatment started earlier with PCR.

Secondly, PCR is a safe testing system, with minimal risk to handlers and laboratory staff while culture means growing a sample until the amount of virus is significant enough to be detected on the growth medium, with a significant biosafety hazard.

PCR will correctly identify 99 out of 100 cases of covid and culture will identify all 100 cases

Imagine for a second that you're the public health expert planning a large scale community testing for your village, which option will you go for between PCR and culture?

Lastly, what do you mean PCR gives a lot of false positives? That has never been a concern. The concern has always been a high number of false negatives!!

Jpolgar:
Fact checkers will spin it differently. But please read 2nd sentence Last paragraph. Keyword: differentiation

I don't think you understand what you've just posted. It's hard to address your post because it means I will need to start from the basics and explain what PCR means, but I'll try.

PCR means Polymerase Chain Reaction, its a technology developed many years ago for testing for different medical conditions, so it isn't unique to coronavirus at all. It predates covid 19 by over 20 years actually!

Multiplex PCR simply means testing for 2 or more conditions at once. It means checking chlamydia and gonorrhoea with one test, rather than two. Or testing for syphilis and HIV with one test rather than two. This technology already exists. What the CDC is proposing is to test for Influenza and Coronavirus with one test rather than two. This does not mean both viruses are the same. Each test will detect a unique part of the respective virus and so it is possible to test positive for covid and not flu, or vice versa, or even test positive to both, or to neither.

At no point did the CDC say that they can't tell one virus from the other; that misinformation is borne from your own limited understanding of the subject matter.

Jpolgar:
Please can anyone enlighten me on how these variants are detected? Abi no be the same PCR test? The one that CDC admits cannot differentiate between covid & the common flu? Please anyone who knows should inform me.

First clarify where and when CDC claimed PCR tests can't differentiate covid from the flu

aikyg:
Sad! Poor woman. She actually did that to pay for her IVF treatment. Some women go through a lot just to have babies. May God help her and give her a child of her own.

Don't be so gullible!

OP, how do you want to follow all these different, sometimes opposing advice.

Just go and see a dermatologist.

airsaylongcome:
She said it spot on!

Ebola Virus is named after the River Ebola in Congo
Lassa Fever is named after the village Lassa in Nigeria where it was "first" identified.

So why isn't the so-called "Covid" Virus called Wuhan Virus?

Spanish flu? American trypanosomiasis? Marburg virus? Middle East Respiratory Syndrome? Rift Valley fever?

These are all diseases named after other parts of the world, so let's stop complaining over every little thing

Even our oldest Igbo ancestors recognised that a febrile illness especially malaria could cause hallucinations. That's why if one begins to describe out-of-body experiences, we will first feel their temperature before proceeding to ask "iba o ji gi?"

This observation has now been borne out by scientific evidence. We know that malaria and indeed any febrile illness can cause delirium. Moreover, older people such as this lady admitted to critical care units have an 80% chance of experiencing delirium. Add on the fact that she underwent anaesthesia and delirium is guaranteed to happen, together with the dissociation peculiar to anaesthesia.

But our religious lords have convinced us that delirium is a communion with God
