ItzSpartacuz: Did you read what I wrote at all or you just choose to be ignorant?
He never said one cannot contract the virus via other means, he only said the probabilities are quite low.
How many children born in this 21st century are born with HIV when its even made compulsory for pregnant women to undergo HIV screening so as to not pass the virus on to the child should the mother have it. That's the scenerio he looked at that made him say the possibilities are quite low.
Same goes to blood transfusions. You go to an hospital and tell them you need blood and stare at them like lucozade while they transmit an untested blood into your system.
The thing is, unprotected sex still remains the highest risk in getting the virus.
You are both ignorant and arrogant! ! Just listen to yourself, you are unable to make a statement without trading insults, you think because this is a faceless forum you can type rubbish?. SMH...
ItzSpartacuz: OP, you funny! Tbh, one can never be too safe.
For me, I don't know how but I always have the courage and strength to go for HIV Tests every 3months.
My last check was last week and its Negative as usual.
The girl I'm currently seeing now, I met her a virgin. And even at that, I still took her for a test at a private hospital to know her status before any bedroom activity.. And she tested negative to HIV and other std.
Y'all won't believe that the day I deflowered her, I still wore a fiesta condom. Lolzzz
When I went for my normal HIV test, I narrated everything to the doctor, the man laughed like "You already know her status, why use condom again?" I answered "One can never be too safe" He then said since I met her a virgin, that the likelihood of a virgin having HIV or any std whatsoever is practically low, so she could pose no threat to me. He even said, she's even the one at risk of contracting something from me.
I said "Sir, one can never be too careful" which is true and he also concurred to that.
Unless you know your partner's health status, never do raw sex.
That's the motto I live by and its working for me.
People are getting infected with this virus everyday. May the good Lord save us.
That doctor doesn’t know what he’s talking about. What if she got HIV through blood transfusions or from birth through her parent?
Mellady: Please has anyone purchased a shared ownership property before? I plan on buying a 50% shared ownership flat in London and selling it after 5 years, has anyone sold a shared ownership flat before? Is it easy to find a buyer?
I know people that have bought shared ownership flats but over the years they increased their ownership shares until they gained 100% share. I don’t think you should have any problem selling it if you can jump through the various restrictions hurdles. Eg the housing association has got first refusal amongst other things, the only question is will be will it be worth it? because most of the professional fees will eat into any profit you hope to make. Also my personal opinion is that most of the shared ownership flats in London are overpriced. As a result you might fall into negative equity and be forced to stay put. So if you are not planning on living in it for at least 10 years I wouldn’t bother buying a shared ownership. Coupled with so many restrictions.
RalphJean: This marriage was contracted in Nigeria. And it was out of Love. Then emigration happened. And in less than 6 months of moving to the UK, the marriage is this damaged? Is this a UK thing or the marriage would have crashed anyway?
And based on some previous replies on Nairaland, the marriage is still fresh. Come on mate...did you bring this woman to the UK to throw her out after just 6 months?
Lexusgs430: I leave them flats and apartments, for others to buy......
It's either a house or nothing..... #Freeholdgang
There are some houses that are freehold but you will still have to pay service charges if it is based where there are communal services e.g gate, staff cost, etc. What I’m trying to say is that freehold doesn’t mean no service charges.
Mamatukwas: Gosh I’ve been missing oh! Just caught up and I’ve been laughing here
Please I’m looking for a good affordable caterer that can deliver food bowls. I’m in Scotland. I’ve decided to Cater Christmas lunch. I can’t be hustling with 3 small human beings and be cooking this holiday.
Help me somebody! Affordable oh! Not Dooney & Co level. I never reach. Tankiu.
You can order your Christmas lunch in advance from M&S or Waitrose. You can even pre book your pub lunch and the whole family goes out to have it.
However, I don't agree with the emboldened, but I understand from experience that desperation can drive people to do certain things. I also think it's interesting that you specifically mentioned ''caucasians'' in your post. The idea of getting married to someone simply for the purpose of getting a visa is fraud, and the person who does it for free by deceit isn't in any way better than those who pay for it. In my over 10 years in the UK, I only know of 2 Nigerian students who pursued the marriage route, the kind of caucasian women they got married to are the ones a decent fellow wouldn't touch with a bargepole.
Another way to interpret this is destroying the life of someone else in order to get what you want. End up dumping the lady with your kid once your documents are through. Find your perfect woman to settle down with and expect to live happily ever after, while there is a kid that needs a dad roaming the street with a mum that is left as an emotional wreck and low self esteem.
People don’t stop to think of the long term damage actions like this cause they are only looking at the short term benefits. Most of these kids with absent fathers end up with mental health issues, join gangs, end up in prison, find it difficult to keep a relationship, job etc. What is left here is a trail of damage just because one person want documents to live in a country and later with their new perfect family every Sunday they will dress up go to church and be expecting God to answer their prayers after damaging so many lives.
I also think it’s demeaning and insulting to call another human being trash.
Karma is a bitch and we have to think very well about our actions.
In the 1970s/80s when so many Nigerians had to return back home, a lot of them abandoned their kids with English nannies most of those kids ended up in care. It’s not today that the heartlessness of some Nigerians has shown its face, it’s in their DNA. You only need to look at their leaders to prove your point.
Most people didn’t read what he wrote properly before commenting, he never said don’t own your own home. This just shows that some people read but don’t understand.
He gave concrete reasons for owning your own home which applies to most situations in Nigeria and he is right, if you are not planning on living in your home for at least 10 years then it’s a bad investment. He also gave other reasons.
He stole biscuits because he was hungry and was arrested. Our leaders have stolen the destiny of the present and future generations what has happened to them?
johnmba: All I explained happened some years back.
We don't depend on him for money. We are all hustling our own but he is our brother. I don't call him to ask for money but I should be able to call my own blood brother and talk with him.
You already said that when you were growing up, there wasn’t really any relationship. What makes you think anything is going to change now?
You are an adult and not your brothers responsibility, let him live his life the way he wants to and you live yours. His behaviour should be an incentive for you to work harder.
When starting in leather crafting you are much better off starting with scraps before buying the cow hide as a little mistake can ruin the entire product and leather hides don’t come cheap.
I am starting out by using recycled leather , this’s is mostly used in upholstery and. It’s a bit on the soft side.
I made the leather tote bag for ladies from recycled soft leather, it was very easy to make and all the tools used were very basic and I enjoyed making it.
Since I am a beginner in leather crafting , I intend to improve my skills by using recycled products as leather hides are vey expensive.
