This morning, I got a message from a friend.

“Please can you help me with pentazocine for my friend? She's a sickle cell warrior. She just wants to have it close by in case she starts having crisis so she can inject herself before rushing to the hospital.”

On the surface, it sounded innocent — even considerate. After all, we all want to help people in pain, right?

But something didn’t sit right with me.

Pentazocine? A controlled drug? Just like that?

As a health professional, I had to explain that I couldn’t do that. It's not just any medication, and it’s not meant for unsupervised use, especially by non-medical personnel.

I probed further.

Turns out the lady in question is already in the habit of injecting herself anytime she “feels something coming.” In fact, she keeps the drug close at all times — hidden, like a secret weapon against pain.

If you have ever witnessed a sickle cell crisis,you wouldn't be typing all these rubbish you are typing.Infact,if it's one of your relations that is a sickler and in crisis,you would buy 1 carton of the drug,if you can afford it,for the person to have.
It's even that morphine is far more expensive, the tablet formulation not easily available and pethidine almost non existent in igeria,if not,no sickler would even be bothered with pentazocine any longer.

Lazy9jaYouth:
Anything above #500 doesn't make sense. If you want to crash the price, crash it very well.

Yeah,Petrol should be between 500-600 and with a stable ₦ at around 1500/$,things would start getting better because the purchasing power of one's earnings would also improve.

Talismann:
sadly and obviously, they are all cowards. They only interested in burukutu and nune

I tire.
Growing up and even now,used to hear people say don't joke with Benue people.
Sadly,as you pointed out,they are mainly good in Burukutu,like Nasarawa men too.
In short the whole middle Belt axis has been a disappointment when it comes to these herders

My own annoyance about this Benue killings is what are the Benue youths and men doing?
We used to hear them brag about Benue people from all tribes,Tiv,Idoma,etc,being brave and fearless warriors ready to confront all kinds of threats and assaults.
Where is that bravity and fearlessness or it's just a myth and they are cowardly when faced with guns.
They used to also claim to have potent charms.
Where are all that now?

Trying to be clever by half.
Why didn't he debunk the story soon as it broke on SM and online news outlets?
If Buratai himself didn't come out,he wouldn't have debunked it.
Also as a notable and educated person,why didn't you emphasized in the initial interview that it's Buratai town and not Buratai,the person?
Finally,how else would any person interpret this statement:"...Buratai was attacked in front of the..."Can a town,not a person or entourage be interpreted to be attacked in front of an army station?

Dalohad:
People are dumping DISCOs and installing Solar.

My village was without light for 5 years. I spent N5 million installing solar and gave NEPA a middle finger.

I will be spending N15 million this to have my office go off-grid.

In the next 20 years, DISCOS will struggle to stay afloat, more people will dump them, and they will increase bills, layoff staffs and reduce power distribution to stay afloat.

Those who still patronize them will pay the fee of those who have dumped them to go off-grid.


Write this words on stone for future reference.

Stop typing rubbish.
Nothing can compare to electricity from the power grid,financially,functionally and efficiency wise.
There are lots of things your solar cannot do,unless your energy consumption is for light and small appliances.
Even when the inverter breaks down,changing it imvolves a big outlay,unlike electricity where you pay on a monthly basis.
They should just give everybody prepaid metre with regular supply,then nigerians will learn how to manage their units to reduce the financial burden.
It's only very big industries like Dangote,PZ,flour mills etc,that can afford to generate sufficient power from high MW yielding sources that can conveniently do without the National power grid.
Solar panels on household scale cannot be a stand alone,even if you like spend 30m.

GanagiBitrus:
Even an iPhone 16 Pro Max is not worth risking one's life for.

This usually happens after the fact.
So someone would just come to you abd demand you handover your phone and you would just hand it over,without him pointing a gun at you?
Even with gun pointed,a military officer of that rank can and should believe he can overpower any assailant.
So let's not start acting righteous or holy here like the man acted f oolishly.
Lots of men would have acted same way he did,even when it's a knife and it's just one person trying to dispose you of a valuable possession.

I don't believe that boy told them he purchased ritual soap for 100k.
The other things he said maybe true,but this soap own, I doubt he said that.

₦3.5b or ₦3.5trillion?
If it's ₦3.5b,it's honestly not news worthy considering the level of embezzlement by the average governor,even in non oil rich states.
Security vote in Rivers state alone per month won't be anything less than ₦5b,so why would Wike bother himself embezzling a mere ₦3.5b?

inoki247:
Lol I believe Wu still dey use USSD dey one village or still dey in olden days or only have access to small phone why use USSD when app is the most convenient...

USSD is still very,very relevant.
You can run out of data at anytime and without ussd you will not be able to buy data or conduct any financial transaction.
So,yes, it's a relevant and innovative tool to have

Believe BUA and Hadiza at your own peril.
The truth lies in between not what bua is peddling and maybe not what Hadiza was said to have done in office.

RollinTNDA:
I kn**ed one fuel attendant babe
She makes so much money daily

1. They configure their machines. If you buy 5000 fuel. They will pour 3.5 fuel inside car then pocket the 1.5
They register it as 3500 fuel sold
Their managers also collect their own cut from daily amount made. It's a mess
Now imagine her making 1500 naira multiplied by over 20 car owners that come to buy fuel in a day.

2. She does hookup and her fuel attendant job give her more opportunities to meet yahoo boys that come with benz to fuel stations plus married men looking for flings.
This girl always dress nice with makeup to attract her hookup customers.

Her fuel attendant salary might is 25k but she makes double of that in a day from cheating motorist. There you go

Na so!
You think it's that easy to alter metre.
Occasionally yes,but if you do it for a full day,not even a week on a consistent basis,you would be found out by motorists or the owner one way or the other.
Besides that,have you seen when metres are being configured?You think it's something anyone working in a fuel station can do?
Even most managers can't do it,they have to call a technician with the knowledge to adjust the metre.
They throw any kind of story for you people and you believe hook,line and sinker.
Yes,in big urban centres,attendants can make money through tips or other means,but metre tampering,oboy,na lamba.
During scarcity too thats when they also make enough extra dough

CoronaVirusPro:
You have not taken time to study women. Just take your time to study that creature. I mean real time and nothing will surprise you.

You can have 69 wives and you will still find a woman ready to spend the rest of her life with you. It’s just their nature.

You maybe right,but there must be something you see in that man with 69 wives for example that makes you overlook the wives or what people may say.

4ward4:
If you say this, than you underestimate 2baba wealth. That guy is wealth , but as usual he keeps it low. And he is crowned with a good personality.

Na, it's not about the money.
She comes from a rich home and don't underestimate the money and connections being in politics gives her,even as an assembly member.

There must be something about Tuface that has made this lady to loose everything called inhibition,to be going all gaga and like she is even the one pursuing him because this is not ordinary love.This is obsession.
Something others are not seeing.
I doubt it's just the sex because she can easily get that with her money and office.
Something else has made her to want to live and die with a seperated father of many children than dating a single guy.

goatandyam:
Lol. Use it to identify boko-haram first.

Jokers

They lack simple, commonsense

Broveens42:
Listen to the governor's speech on the second link; It had been commission when not in full operation

Ok.
Just as I thought.
I didn't bother watching the video but when I read largest gas producing plant,but being commissioned by a governor, I instantly knew there was something missing

Such a major plant,according to this report and the president was not there to commission it?I highly doubt this story,especially since the source is a face book post.
It could just be any other medium gas producing facility or maybe not even fully functional yet,but the poster wants to do propaganda with lies and distortions as is common with Nigerians.

Nna2025:
Hello Nairalanders, I know we are very sensitive to cheating so I ask for forgiveness.

I had a fling with a girl I have known for sometime now, I used CD but at some point, I used my finger. I started reading about Hiv and the possiblity of contracting it through fingering. Although my readings says % is very low provided there is no fresh injury, however I opted for PEP to calm my nerves. ( Pep is a drug used, when you suspect an exposure to HIV, remember you have 36hours to take it or else it won't work)

I tore off the pack, hid it in something and kept it in my bag. My wife for whatever reason searched my bag, saw it googled it and came back shouting and screaming since last night. My only comment to her is let's go for hiv test And that the drug was for my asthma, I know she wants to take it somewhere for verification.

My only fear now is if I disclose the reason for taking PEP, then my marriage is in danger.


Anything I can do to salvage this situation, I do not have time. Please my people

When did you get married or you are day dreaming?

JetApartment:
How come nobody is asking how the ritualist escaped from the village youths that caught him in Enugu, only to be found trying to escape in Seme border?

Uhm!
This is really interesting and a very good question.
Nigerians don't usually ask questions.
How indeed did the man that was arrested just a few days ago in Enugu,posted on SM find himself in Lagos,then to Seme border?
Something about either of the 2 stories isn't correct.

Every week after reports of terrorist attack the army releases a statement stating so so number of troops were killed.
I am asking how many are these insurgents that the army kills hundreds in a single operation, yet the next week or month, another hundred are killed?
I just feel the army or defence hierachy is just feeding the president figures of killed insurgents to give impression they are working and keep their jobs.
The other day it was one clownish report of insurgents attacking an army base,15 of them were killed,yet their comrades were still able to evacuate the corpses,on motor bikes!

But why did it occur infront of an army Cantonment then.
The coincidence should rightfully give people room to speculate even if Wike maybe right
P.S Don't think Wike is right after all because someone also noted that quarty explosives don't detonate unless there is a triggering device

iwaeda:
How many Technical schools still functioning, a government converting polytechnics to universities.

That is,real clowning.
You are converting polytechnics and technical colleges to universities left,right and centre on the one hand,yet on the other hand saying you are paying 45k stipends to technical college students.
Asides being ironic,it also doesn't make any sense.
Next,you pay doctors and nurses during training to incentisize them to stay?
Engineers,okay,more students enroll in engineering and get 60k per month.
Oh,what of agricultural students,go into agricultural studies with 50k every month so that there would be more farmers.Education,ditto and the list goes on and on!

emmylight4u:
Assuming the video leakage was an error, mistake or Jealousy granting an interview of the nature is quite deliberate. That woman is up to something.

An error keh?
It's not as if the recording was done in secret with a hidden camera.
They both wanted their sexcapade to be recorded for their private enjoyment later and the fact she possibly didn't have a phone or sim lock showed she didn't bother much who sees it.
The tragedy here is that they were bold and shameless enough to record their sexcapade,not the act itself.

Sense she doesn't have.
Let her move in fully with the man and she would come to realise all that so called care and love would diminish if not totally disappear.
They usually think their is something they have that the person cannot but care for them for ever.
When they move in,they will realize it's not so,then that p ussy they were willing giving in all angles they would also realize that since it was a pussy based care,let them deprive the man,hoping he would return to the person they knew when they were still doing hidden love,but alas,it becomes worn out.

There is nothing like money ritual.
All so called money ritual millionaires or billionaires are simply into one form of fraud or crime:financial,yahoo yahoo,kidnapping or outright robbery.They then tell themselves or are told by their spiritual consultants that they need to make human sacrifice or bring a human part for their wealth to continue flowing.They believe this are do as they are f oolishly told.So it's not the sacrifice per se that brings them wealth as some people and nollywood make people to believe.

https://dailypost.ng/2025/05/27/iswap-evacuates-15-bodies-abandons-vbied-after-failed-attack-in-borno/?

They fled under sustained fire but still able to evacuate 15 corpses?
Both assertions cannot be true at the same time.
When you are trying to escape such an assault on bike,when would you have the time,composure and agility to pick up corpses and place them on bike? Manoeuvring a bike with a corpse,even if we assume they truthfully picked up the corpses is an impossible task.
Haba,some reports are just too cooked up.

If you read through this so called news well,one would clearly see it's an advertisement.
The estate was mentioned several times in the report and section clearly telling people to invest.
I doubt cubana has a fully developed structure in that place.
For all one knows,it could be a developing estate with just a perimeter fencing and few scattered buildings.
I maybe wrong though.
