Treat infection first and thank me later.

It's not infection. Op is lactose intolerant. No big deal there.

fadilaMaikiriki:
What do I have to do please? Are there any alternatives? Or maybe better milk products that won't cause me this. Please, if you have any, do recommend.

It would be difficult stopping milk altogether because that's what I use in taking my pap. I don't use sugar, that's why I replaced the sugar with milk instead. I would appreciate any better alternative please.

If you need to consume milk, take little and also save money. I have the same situation as you do. Not a big deal.

fadilaMaikiriki:
Whenever I take milk, I tend to fart uncontrollably, like non-stop farting. Imagine you being with someone and the person is farting every three or five minutes. Honestly, this can be so annoying for the fartee and embarrassing for the farter.

The farts is the type that make the "ssshhhhhhhhhhh" sound. And sometimes the fart becomes noisy or vibrates.

Please, what can I do to remedy this? What can I do to stop the fart? It happens whenever I take milk. I take pap alot( infact I prefer pap to tea), and I take the pap with milk because I don't use sugar. Please, is there any alternative? Maybe a better milk that I can use for the pap.

Please, is there any one here who has/is experiencing this?

Or is it because of that particular company's product (milk)?

Has anyone here experienced this?

I would really appreciate your inputs, suggestions/opinions.

Thanks.

You are lactose intolerant and that's not a serious disease. When you consume milk, it should naturally for you make you to stool a lot, especially at night. You suppress the stool by farting. What is the solution? Reduce your consumption of milk products. Don't worry about this discomfort. Everyone has multiple diseases in their body. And some like yours, you don't need to see a doctor for it. You may just end up wasting time and money as their is no solution in this case except avoiding milk products.

Hello nairalanders.
Recently, there has been an increase in the incidence of manhood disappearing. This is an old street format that criminals use to rob and extort people. Those being accused are actually the victims and those claiming their manhood disappeared are criminals. I have seen this first hand and this is how it works.

These criminals work in groups.
They would position themselves around and look out for someone they know they can easily intimidate, like if you look fresh and gentle.
one of them will walk up to you and hit you, before you can react, he would scream on top of his voice that his joystick has disappeared.
Now, this is where it gets really deadly.
Before you can defend yourself, his gang members would quickly come out from where they are waiting and begin to beat you. Some of his co criminals would pretend they checked the penis and they would confirm that they joystick had truly disappeared. It is all planned and they are all together.
In the process of beating you, your phones, wallet and other valuables, even your shoes will go missing. But you are fighting for your life, so you are not focussed on the things they are already stealing off you.
But because Nigerians are superstitious, they would believe the criminals and join hands in beating the unfortunate young man they accuse.

Guys, be careful out there and let us ensure we hand these criminals to the police.

This format works because Nigerians are too superstitious. Those people you see being accused are the victims.
I have personally witnessed it and it is similar to a format criminals use in computer village where the victim gets accused and beaten by the criminals stealing your phones. We have had to recover a phone of a victim that fell for something similar to this. The criminals even almost stabbed the boy just to steal his phone.

Be careful on the street guys. Stop smiling and looking weak when you walk on the street.

I don't believe such stories at all.

LOGICALKEN:
My brother met a girl two years ago at a friend’s bachelor’s eve. They were kinda dating and some months after the girl said she was pregnant, at first she said the pregnancy wasn’t for my brother, some weeks later she came back and said the pregnancy is his.

My bro accepted all responsibility and took care of her while she was pregnant. We even went to the family to let them know my bro is responsible for the pregnancy.

During delivery my bro paid all medical bills which was a bit high because she delivered through C.S, now my bro has been taking adequate care of the child and mum.

When the child was about 3 months old, a friend of my brother’s baby mama called and asked my brother to conduct a DNA test on the boy, my bro was surprised, when he told me about it I adviced we conduct the DNA, when we informed the girl we want to conduct a DNA she sounded confident and was like “una get money to waste na”. We travelled to her city and did the DNA and about a month later the result came out, surprisingly my brother is not the father.

Now my bro is demanding a Total refund of everything he has spent on the boy, the girl’s family has been begging. Should my brother just forfeit everything and move on or press charges?

I FEAR WOMAN SHA, with this experience even if I born 30 children for this life, I go do DNA for all of them one by one.

I'm a man. First and foremost, your brother should forget the money. Secondly, it's not every woman, one marries, he needs to do DNA test on the kid. Yes trust is rare to see. But for some men and women, we must learn to trust. S

Standstrong:
Because they failed to understand my own point

You have no point. Going by your explanation, I would have done the same. But pay you immediately for the Three weeks. Security is based on trust. 100 percent loyalty even if your Oga is a bad person.

I picked up the gate man job ending of last month out of no other better options at the moment and seeing what economic hardship was making me pass through, especially waking up with no hope of where food is going to come from, make i no go steal, God abeg.

I have been doing the job well. Yesterday, while strolling around the area, I heard one man saying he is looking for someone to cut grasses in his compound. Being something I can do to collect the money to help myself as i was hungry and peniless, I met the man and told him i can do the work and we agreed on N15k.

So as my oga went to work, i rushed down to do the work. While I was on it, i dont know what brought my oga back to the house and he didnt see me at the post.

He called me and asked me where i am. I rushed down to the house. I told him i got a small contract of 15k to cut grass for someone in the neighbourhood.

The man got so angry on why I left his duty post to go do another job. Worse was that the person i did the job for was more like his enemy, as i later learnt they've not been in good terms.

He sacked me instantly. I begged this man as a human being to please forgive but he refused to consider me again. He even said, "go before you go and collect poison from my enemy to come and kill me".

Please what is my business with whatever fight the two of them are fighting?

That was how I lost the small job i just got 3 weeks ago and now back with nothing. He should have paid me for the 3 weeks right away but he didnt, rather he said i will find a way to pay you for the services so far.

Please, the country is already very hard and all I needed was something that could give me immediate money to survive on first.

Sad how struggling citizens are being badly treated everyday even while legitimately hustling for survival. How he will pay me for the 3 weeks, he didn't say it.

It's painful but it is not the end of the world.

I will make it too. Amen.

It shall never be well with hunger, agent of poverty.

That was a setup from the other man. You can only try that if you have worked in a place over 6 months and They have reasons to trust you. There's no trust as far as you are new. It's understandable.

I was shocked when I bought cooking gas at the rate of N1566 per kg just yesterday, almost N20k for a12.5kg cylinder 😳
Location : Lagos State
This is alarming.How much is it in your area?

I bought yesterday in Bayelsa 780 per kg, 9,750 for 12.5kg.

Kingcalls:
400 times ..as per sex slave... lies...

Although, she was below 18 years, making it officially rape, she enjoyed every bit of it, and it was more than 400 times she mentioned. She couldn't have counted it accurately.

FILEBE:
People will always profile you base on what you have . The media world isn't helping matters. All we sing and talk about is how to drive exotic cars or own a car. Unfortunately, that's Nigeria for you. Basic amenities has become a luxury. Some of us grew up yo consider gas cooker as luxury, tap water as luxury, living in storey buildings as luxury, same with owning a car and many more like that. You will agree with me that people who live in advance countries don't consider owning a car a big deal as we think.

See, everything depends on your state of mind. If you care about what people say then you are a slave to the people. Just be responsible for whatever actions you take. It also depends on your circle of friends . We have had friends sold there cars and we never even felt it or look down at them. One of the friend uses my car often and I don't even for once thought he has become poor or something. Him sef no care



Reminds me when my car overheated on the road due to a leaking radiator. It wouldn't start. It was along the main road. Area boys came and asked to collect money, they wouldn't let me push the car . Ended up negotiating 6k. Towing vehicle came almost immediately and fought that they most tow the vehicle as It is obstructing traffic . Those one sef na tout. We towed the vehicle, at every junctions , touts wey coming to collect money at almost all routes till I got to my mechanics place.

See ehn, Lagos and the power they have given to touts no be here .

This can likely only happen in Lagos and very few other places in Nigeria. Welcome to Lagos!

KiNg0G:
The greatest embarrassment that can happen to a man is when he sells his car.

I always advise people if you know you're not financially buoyant triple don't buy a car because once you do, you've automatically purchased a NEW IDENTITY.

All eyes are on, you respect coming from different directions young and old, family members, church members and even neighbors but sell that same car you are reduced to a BEGGAR in their eyes.

Even if you don't drive that car regularly, maybe due to repairs or fuel increase as seen recently, your poor status becomes obvious and respectability diminishes.

Mpeace:
Is it not funny that a firm with half year eps of 10+ would struggle to make 20naira.
When we should ordinarily be talking of 200naira

Lol. It's really, really funny.

Acidosis:
You're the du m.b one, clearly. Your earning is useless if it doesn't reduce the burden and workload in your home.

Stingy criminal.

Some men, don't know that women are not wired to suffer, like we may do. Give a woman money and she would ask for more. And you are being stingy all because you have a project and she's not giving him stress. He wants to leave her and is asking for opinion. All I know is that he is thinking of another woman and she would make his comfortable life uncomfortable once she settles in. It's just a matter of time.

Acidosis:
You no try, sir. You earn 700k and all you have to spend on your family with kids is 100k every month, leaving your wife to cook, clean, wash, do nanny work and market runs, and probably still do her regular job, and you expect her to give you hot sex? With which energy, please? The same energy you could have preserved by spending extra 50k on a good cleaner or cook?

Give yourself a heavy knock on the head.

I saw that. With 700k and kids, I don't expect him to spend anything less than 300k on the family monthly. This is a problem he may be causing, not knowing he is the problem. And the wife is silently coping. The moment another woman comes in and discover he is not ready to spend, he would enter very serious problem that he never saw in his wife.

ADURA123:
I am not divorcing to remarry, I want to be alone and be free. Thank you

Lies. If you want to leave a partner because the sex drive is low, you can't stay alone. Tell us you have a woman, you are eyeing 👁️👀. But like my earlier post, not all that glitters is gold 🥇🪙. You would later regret leaving a woman with low sex drive for someone else. Sometimes, we all should be content with what we have. We all are not perfect. The lady in question is not deliberately wicked. She just wants a quiet life. Learn to live that way.

ADURA123:
Good evening fellow NL members,
My story may be long but pls endeavor to read to the end so that you can make proper suggestions or advice.

I have been married for more than 10yrs now with beautiful kids, my marriage is one that many Young guy will wish to have, but along the the line I don't know what happened things begin to nose dive. In the last 6yrs I discovered that I struggle to make love to my wife, she will either tell you ohh, she is tire or she don't like sex much..this I have endured for all this years with no cheating.
Her qualities are
She can cook
She can keep the house clean
She can manage resources
And she is accommodating to my people
In all this years I have never cheated on her, proudly saying it coz my dad warned me of cheating on my wife rather I should divorce her and go for another wife.

My qualities are
I work and earn like about 700k net a month.
I give feeding allowance and personal total of 100k a month while I invest the rest on a project which she is aware of.
I don't drink or smoke
I don't keep late night
and I am the best friend to her and my kids.
Honestly having talk to her for over 5yrs on this issues of love making and she refused to change, then I have decided to yield to my dad advice and ask her to leave...she is not aware of this plan, but trust me it will hit her.
I allow her to do little job to have her own finance is not as if she contribute anything in the house, but she is claiming stubborn, I love her so much, it will hurt me to cheat on her, something I have not done since I got married to her.
I plan moving to a new place in February, and she doesn't fit into my plans.

My decision between now and December is
1 Avoid asking her for lobe making
2 Continue taking care of her so she won't suspect anything
3 when she comes close I avoid her.
4 February I issues divorce papers and give her like 1m to go get her life back

Is there anything more I can do for her?
Advice me pls...

I'm a man. From all you wrote up there, you should not divorce her. It may affect you. We usually end up marrying the person that may not be the type we like, but we nonetheless manage them. They end up in reality being better than the ones we love but don't want to marry us. I understand your concerns, but as long as what you wrote their is valid, manage that marriage. You ain't getting younger. She's a good person in my opinion. Continue in the marriage.

On par corollas are of better fuel mpg than Camrys. But with time you will wish you had sacrifice the extra fuel cost for the extra power the Camry can deliver.. Best of luck in your choice.

Having used two Camry cars 4 plugs and a Lexus 6 plugs, I appreciate a car with better performance irrespective of the fuel consumption, as long as you can afford to buy the fuel. The difference is clear. I see when other cars are struggling to pick up speed and maybe in 100m, whereas you both started the same and have moved to 500m or more. The difference is crystal clear.

IPOB or no IPOB is not my problem. My problem is how wicked people can be. They even released the disgusting video earlier to tarnish her image despite she helped them out. This is quite unfair and sad. They will receive the rewards.

I read and watched the video on Sahara reporters. A politician of this level can't be homeless. Even one week in office, she knows what she would get. I'm surprised such a news is put around for such a person who is obviously wealthy. Not that I'm in support of her. But such a news doesn't apply to a politician. If you told me a sports man, it's possible not a politician.

Gottiii:
Are you guys saying 7m isn’t enough to travel out of Nigeria to any of the first world countries?

The answer is obvious. 15m at current conversion rate is not enough for a masters and whether you like it or not, get prepared for those jobs you are avoiding which you may never do in Nigeria.

BoldBrainz:
Lol.

Trust me bro, there's no analytical basis that gives credence to these statistics I'm looking at. There's absolutely no way food inflation in Kaduna would surpass what's obtainable in Abuja. I've lived in both cities extensively. I still shuffle between both to this day. I'm still trying to figure out one item that's more expensive in Kaduna than Abuja. Just one.

Please try to read my explanation slowly again. An item like I posted maybe cheaper in Kaduna than Abuja, but over the past one year, the rate of increase in Kaduna maybe higher than Abuja. Sorry, this is mathematics called percentage.

BoldBrainz:
There are lies in these statistics.

Kaduna should not be in the top ten. One quarter of the food items sold in Abuja come from that state. How is it possible Kaduna is on the list and Abuja isn't?

Something may be sold for N50 in Kaduna, and price in Abuja is N100. When you compare the price N50 in Kaduna 2023 versus say N30 2022, percentage increase is 67% in Kaduna. At the same time, it may be N100 in Abuja 2023 versus N80, 2022. Percentage increase is 25%. On the inflation index Kaduna have higher inflation than Abuja. That's the logic.

Last month, you were asking if your boyfriend or your mother should live with you.

Busted. So she's just advertising herself.

Nataliace:
The younger brother to my husband occasionally comes to visit us. My husband takes good care of him and support his business dealings.

He trusts his brother that he can travel for weeks leaving us together.

Recently my brother in-law's movement towards me changed.

He sometimes rub his hands on my back as if he was just being friendly. He made strange and unusual move towards me several times and I was uncomfortable with that.

I warned him that if he doesn't stop I will report to my husband.

My husband travelled last week and his brother has begun his behaviors of unexpectedly touching my body and showing up in my room or just following me to the kitchen whenever I am preparing meal.

I thought of reporting to his brother but I don't want to be the reason they will be enemies for life.

How do I stop him so this remain between two of us?

This is sincerely becoming unbearable.

Someone suggested that you should take down your profile picture and you are yet to do that.

All those of you asking what someone is still doing with ex' number...

Why can't?
Relationship no b secret cult.
U fit need your ex help later and vice versa, no matter how you guys ended up.

I'm still very much in good contact with my exes, and nothing dey sup

You have not had an ex that did something terrible to you. If you do, you would delete the number. That doesn't mean you won't have the number off hand In your memory even after over ten years.

Same thing in my area in Ondo state. Two months no Etisalat. I had to travel to Ijebu ode, ogun state to get network so I could receive OTP.

Eeya, pele, you need to change your alert line to a more serious network.

Blueace247:
Good morning Dear friends and fellow Etisalat users,

I am writing this post today to share my recent harrowing experience with the Etisalat network, which left me without a reliable connection for a staggering 24 hours. This unfortunate incident has not only caused immense frustration but has severely impacted my work and productivity.

Last week, I had topped up my data plan with a substantial sum of 10,000 naira, hoping to have uninterrupted access to the internet for my professional and personal needs. However, to my dismay, the Etisalat network suffered a major outage, leaving me and countless other users stranded without any indication of when it would be resolved.

The lack of official communication during the prolonged downtime only added to the mounting frustration. Customers, like myself, were left in the dark, without any updates or reassurances from the service provider. As a result, many of us resorted to other means like using VPNs, spending money on alternative data plans from different providers, or facing a complete disruption of our daily routines and businesses.

During this period, I had no choice but to rely on Stark VPN, a free virtual private network service, because I couldn't afford to purchase additional data for my other SIM card. The stress of managing work tasks, personal responsibilities, and the unexpected expenses added to the burden of the network failure.

It is disheartening to note that despite being loyal customers, our priorities have been jeopardized by the lack of preparedness and communication from Etisalat. As customers, we deserve to be treated with transparency and respect, especially when faced with such a significant disruption in service.

I strongly urge Etisalat and other telecommunication companies to implement a more efficient customer notification system for such situations. Timely official updates can alleviate customer frustration and help them make informed decisions. We should not be left to feel abandoned and helpless during network outages, especially after investing significant amounts in data plans.

As technology becomes an essential part of our lives, we rely on network providers to keep us connected and ensure smooth work and personal communication. An outage of this magnitude not only affects our productivity but also raises concerns about the reliability of the service.

I sincerely hope that Etisalat and other providers take this incident as an opportunity to improve their services and customer support. As users, we deserve better accountability and timely solutions when things go wrong. I call upon Etisalat to take immediate action, compensate affected customers appropriately, and implement measures to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Let us stand together as customers and demand the quality service we pay for and deserve. Together, we can drive positive change in the telecommunications industry and ensure that our needs are met with utmost consideration.

#EtisalatNetworkOutage #CustomerPrioritiesMatter #ImprovedCommunicationNeeded #TelecomsAccountability

Sincerely,
A Concerned Etisalat User

24 hours outage for 9mobile is child play. In Bayelsa state here, they were out for over a month several times even in the state capital Yenagoa and when they come back maybe for one day, they go off for several months again. We are used to it.

EriMma1:
I don't see any reason why I can't as a woman when I feel like it. I mean... We are now married. He's my property and I can use him anyhow and any time I like.

As a woman, if you need your man, just start playing some kind " rough" play with him or touch him in places that will suggest what you want and if he's a sharp guy he'll understand. You don't need to tell him you want it. Just play with him.

The only time you should respect yourself is when you touch him and he says no, Leave him alone and bounce out like you don't care.

Use him anyhow? Abeg small small.
