While I detest some of the activities of the so called preachers, the govt should also ban open Friday prayers by Muslims who sometimes infringe the on movement of road users because of their "prayer"

You are in trouble. Start cutting your friends and stop handing your phone to them.
That was how a customer that had been friendly used my line to request for loan online after borrowing my phone for a minute to activate the OTP sent to the line. He wanted to do something afterwards and another OTP came in. That is when I knew a criminal was lurking near me. I followed up with the loan app customer care to deactivate the account immediately.
Hmm


I didn't give anyone my phone to make use of. I suspect it's a case where someone used my phone number as his contact number for purchases and and loan.


The suspect is in the West while I'm in the East. The EasyBuy customer service that called me today revealed his/location

Op if you recently purchased your sim card then this might have to do with network providers and recycled sim cards.


The ncc ought to do something about this reoccurring issue. A story was posted here some time ago... (I'm very lazy about searching and attaching links) about some one who was arrested for kidnapping and even receiving ransom from a victim even though it was a recycled sim from his network provider he bought that was linked to the crime.


And Nigeria is a funny place because normally all you really need do is show proof of your recent purchase of the sim kit which should extricate you from whatever allegations.


But the system is so terrible that before you are able to proof your innocence your life may already have been disrupted for some time!
I didn't buy the SIM card newly, I've been using it since 2004 and I believe I was the first person to use it.

Thanks for your response
CrimeFraud: Can This Land Me In Trouble? by Rikze(op):
I'll be brief.


Some months ago, I kept receiving calls from a loan app- probably FairMoney. The callers would ask if this is Mr Alaba Aknlabu? My response is that I'm not. They'll say I borrowed money from them and should come and pay off my debt.


It took me over three months of explaining myself before they stopped calling. Note that this call was on a daily basis.


Fast forward to presently. Just last week I started receiving calls on the same line (Airtel) the call is from EasyBuy, a platform I have never patronised. They keep asking me to pay for my purchases.


When I tell them that I didn't buy anything from them they'll ask if I'm not Mrs Alaba Aknlabu. I'll explain myself and the next day they will repeat the call.


I'm tired of all these embarrassments and a bit worried that one day this perceived fraud commited by someone else might be traced to me using my phone number.


Please how do I get out of this?

Yes. I've seen it grow here and have also eaten it in the East.

The one I saw and ate is green coloured figs.

HealthRe: Expired And Fake Products: How Harmful Is It Truly? by Rikze: 7:43pm On Mar 16
as69:
The blood tonic scenario tracks sha — most tonics are iron supplements and vitamins. When they expire, the worst that happens is they lose some potency. Not ideal, but not dangerous either.

The real problem category is antibiotics and antimalarials. A substandard antibiotic that's only 40% potency doesn't kill you immediately — but it also doesn't fully clear the infection. The bacteria survive, adapt, and pass on resistance traits. Over time the same drug stops working even when you take the genuine version. Nigeria already has high rates of antibiotic resistance partly because of substandard drug circulation.

That's the part of this discussion that gets lost. Fake Bournvita is annoying. Fake amoxicillin is a public health crisis in slow motion. E no be the same risk level.

The economic pressure argument is real though — nobody is disputing that. But the solution can't be "fake drugs are fine", it has to be better enforcement and affordable genuine alternatives.
A million thanks for your take. It shows you are knowledgeable in the health field to say the least.

In no way do I encourage anyone to take adulterated food/drink/medicine. However, just this morning as I was checking through my kitchen cabinet, I discovered that a number of roles of beverages (sachets) have expired since February this year. Unbeknownst to us we've been drinking tea from them ever since without any side effects.


So what do you think, do we have anything to worry as what is left is over four roles of ten sachets each?


Or should we discard them or finish what is left?


I also remember some years ago I went to buy water guard to treat my drinking water and what I saw in the market was expired by a few months. The marketer urged me to go ahead and buy it because the dates are simply there to make it easier for it to be sold that the date has no meaning. But I refused.


On a number of occasions I've seen people take expired drinks without any side effects especially if it expires with a few weeks/months

Have you really travelled around South East? I first tasted it in 2012 in Abịa State. In Anambra State, it can be found in many compounds in rural areas.


I didn't see it in my days in Imo State.

ALSO experiencing small pain on the small toe side mostly while walking

Have rub zinatol and taken some pain relief, it's still as it's

Kindly recommend what to take if you have an idea what it could be.. Thanks
Please check the sole of your favourite footwear. The one you wear the most. Is it hard or soft. My wife suffered similar pains for a long time until she gave attention to her footwear, ie putting on foamy footwears.


Many doctors may not tell you this. We found out after series of tests and treatment to no avail. But once the footwears were changed to softer ones she got better.

Stop lying here.
Which part of Yenagoa do such happen?
You are a big liar.
If you know Yenagoa you'll not say his lying. One of the good things about that town is lack of traffic congestion.

As he stated, Ogbia Town, Anyama Ogbia, Otuasega, Otuagbagi and even Sagbama don't have light.

The Market Square you even listed is privately owned.

Na #17 Presco shock me pass - a company making over a billion dollars by investing in palm oil! When I imagine how we can invest massively in palm oil and make billions of dollars from it yet everyone is running to Abuja to share $50 billion of petrodollars every year, I feel terrible about the kind of leaders we have. That's why I keep arguing that blacks are not fit for self-rule!
Where is the location of the company.

Biafrans and crime are like bread and butter. Which Biafran food is responsible for stimulating criminality? Don't pray you want to be a billionaire like some biafrans until you can really confirm by yourself the source of income and not what he/she tells you. He/she can sell slippers in the day and carry drug at night. May God heal the land with free or reduced criminality mindedness among the people.Truely, there are criminality elements in every tribe and tongue, but to be honest Biafran own gets bottle cover. Just too much!
As an Igbo man I can't agree any less. Many of my people are heartless when money or business is involved. It's a shame. And the traditional rulers and churches are doing nothing about it.
