Is there a reason why nairaland isn’t active on instagram? Nairaland really changed my life and I’m wondering why it’s not dominating that space?

Taal17:
Yes, it has.
It's on US embassy Nigeria site

Tnx

Please any insight if the new B1/B2 visa rule on bond has taken effect if approved?
Just wanted to know if it has started so we can proceed, make e remain bond wahala lol.😂

I was gonna type but saw this old post I made long time ago and just decided to post it here instead

You can live your dreams if you Jakpa!

SpyChild from Nairaland:

I don’t know why people keep saying that people staying abroad are sex starved.
There are stages to the game and hustle if you live abroad. If you are still tryna figure out your papers and work to get money to make it happen, where will you even see the time or energy to pursue sex.
Now, if you have figured yourself out and you are in a place like the US, cities like Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, New Orleans and the like for instance where there are also a good percentage of blacks, who told you you won’t have sex?

Omoh akata love sex plus they are good and sexy too.

The only difference is that unlike Nigeria where most people have a lot of free time to be pursuing sex, people actually work here for at least 8hrs to get your bills paid. So after work, if you have strength go and pursue sex cos there are people out there to that have the time and wanna seek the pleasure too.

It’s pathetic that home based folks actually believe this.
Lol I don’t wanna delve into details when it comes to that kind of lifestyle but most people don’t actually have game and because of the economic hardships in nigeria and they pick low hanging fruit thinking they have game.

It’s game time abroad, if you don’t have the it…sorry Konji will be your first name cos you no fit do anyhow,
Popo go carry you shaperly"

Nairaland helped me live the lifestyle, I live now. Was able to travel out and actually live my dream. No cap

sameoldguy:
Anywhere can be your home. Home is where the heart is. No matter where I de for this earth, Naija is still my home and I’ll invest more there than anywhere else. For yankee, you mess up your mortgage, your house enter foreclosure straight.

there’s an option. You can sell, get your equity and waka.

Rubyjade:
How did you start?

well, just from visiting friends in other areas, in their university campuses etc. it was fun and I had an adventurous spirit so it came naturally. Different states, crossed the border in Benin republic, that was the major start…then things took off along with my life. Don’t know if that helps

chiself:
That "do it for your kid" is a myth. You are not rich, you children will be going to the local schools. Their classmate are going to be sons and daughters of Jamaica gangster, Mogadishu warlords, Albania pick pocketers
The teachers are scared to come to class, so their education will suffer. You don't have £250 a month for extra tuition for your kids.
Let's hope they don't join a gang and settle their differences with stabbing.

You are doing it for yourself!

your reality is different from mine, if you doubt, let’s see our profiles on LinkedIn or other media before we proceed to interact physically, so you will really understand that if that’s your perception, then that’s what you are gonna get.

Rubyjade:
Travel & explore, when you don't have cash

must not be around the world…even start from local governments within b4 you get to the stage that you can do worldwide. For me, that’s how I started, till I’m now doing so worldwide

7david7:
ok, I'll do that, hopefully this works. I'm exhausted already trying different things, if me the caregiver is getting exhausted, I can only imagine how he feels. I won't give up on him...thank u for ur contribution, I appreciate.

there’s a medicine called grezovine, I don’t know if the spelling is right though but you can get it from a chemist store. It’s an oral medicine, let him take the dosage and it will will clear. If have used it on a boy I used to know. His own was even worse than this, his was almost getting rotten sef.
See if you can get the oral medication let him take it.

Talentuex:
I've always been caught in the middle about moving abroad..
Cos when I look at the cost its +(-)20million.. with that money I can buy a decent house In Ibadan and b come a landlord
And sometimes I think about my kids and would want them to have opportunities I never had., It's a constant battle for me do I move or stay?

do it for your kids.

Spanishmilf:
Why does my hand shakes and heart beat fast? It’s becoming frustrating at this point. I read alot of threads and i saw some people suggesting propanol.

I already got it. I take one per day. I’m yet to see a total change. Has anyone experienced this and note.

Have stopped drinking sodas
Have reduced my salt
Still not helping
This happens alot when I'm gaming.

you need you actually need to take some natural salt or Himalayan salt

@oldienavie you see the emotional blackmail card that @Foodqueen talked about earlier ba @bolded ...

Madam favvy fyi...
The OP didn't make her lose anything, SHE DECIDED TO THROW AWAY WHAT SHE HAD...

And she did that by cheating on the OP whilst they were dating and by cheating with the OP whilst she was in another relationship ...

What y'all ladies don't understand is that sleeping around and/or cheating in the long run will hurt you ...

The guy you cheated on won't want to have anything to do with you and the guy you cheated with, will reconsider his decision to building something long lasting with you (just as it is with the OP) ...

So play all these emotional card BS, it won't change anything!!! ...

And if you're still wondering @italics, then it's either you didn't take time to read and comprehend the write up of the OP or you don't see anything wrong with cheating and sleeping around ...

Either ways, it tells a lot about your kind of person ...

@OP...
I won't suggest you marry her (unless God Himself tells you to)...

Cause if she can cheat on (and with) you in the past, what makes you think she can't do it again now? What's the assurance?

And besides that, are you aware of the baggage(s) that single mothers go around with? Has she dealt with them? Or can you handle them without complaining?

Thus...
If you know you don't intend to marry her, then don't even bother sleeping with her, cause if you do, she will DEFINITELY play the emotional card, just as the fellow I'm quoting is doing right now ...

Go somewhere and find yourself a wife...
But if you intend to marry her (which I don't advice), then go ahead and make things official ...

I am not saying OP should marry her o; but if he DOES marry her, she will never repeat the same mistake because of the position she is in and facing right now.

GlobTrotter:
I dont think this is true. Maybe for the UK. But for US I doubt. I have not been there, I live in Brazil, what I know is that it's quite difficult for African ladies to get a guy here.

But I can tell you the women here are on fire and they love black guys.

In Brazil if you don't have sense, the small one you get, sex go comot am. You literally have to hold yourself and be focused. Girls too much and too fine and na them go come meet you self lol

I don’t know why people keep saying that people staying abroad are sex starved.

zed7:
I always tell people that japa is not for the poor. It's the middle class that can actually afford to relocate. Right now it's all about herd mentality. Many are like a bull going to the slaughter house. No concrete plan.

I actually wish them goodluck. They will sweat and grind for every penny. Nothing is given freely.

Whilst I know the country failed them, I also know that this is second slavery. The West don't need guns and mirrors anymore, they just need to dangle visas and tweak their policies a little and our best hands will run and go slaving for them, whilst their citizens idle away and enjoy the fruit of our peoples hardwork. Just like the days of old.

The West got this advanced with the sweat of Africans and other less developed nations. They're still doing same till date. It's pathetic.

don’t know about this but doing 2 remote six figures jobs doesn’t sound like slavery to me lol. I love it and can come and flex or invest in naija if I choose. So… :/

Na wah! I don’t understand people o…there are lots of places to socialize, go out there if you feel lonely. Register in a gym, go to social gathering and events in hotels, conferences, go to clubs, go shopping, go watch a movie, go to a coffee shop, go to skating, reading club, dating apps and hook up. People are just being lazy to socialize, put it some efforts. It’s not like naija where you grew up and have folks you grew up with all over you.

sukkot:
na so e easy ? lmaooooo

Yes bro! It’s as easy as that if you are focused. During survival mode years abroad, was able to stack that amount comfortably, not to talk of now. I think I should really put up a post and enlighten folks.

saipn:
please check your email

nothing on my email. Why not drop it here though

jimetagambo:
Even if we do McDonald job, there is dignity in labour. Some can't even find the McDonald's type jobs from where they came from.

I wonder o! Shei if person get Hin papers let’s assume say na Mac Donald’s job him just want dey do. If hin work 7 months , go naija rest 6 months flex well and pay his bills well, is that no better that just being in naija?

I will say it again; living in abroad, you will have OPTIONS which you don’t have in naija.

viodemus:
It is, depending on where you go.


America

Pros- ultimate destination. Your connection net go wide well well. Your knowledge go increase exponentially, your ability to go other places go easy,

Cons - e hard like everywhere else, one crime fit mess you up for years, street violence is very real and under reported,

UK and Canada and Australia

Pros - almost like America but a little less capacity

Cons - smaller cities than America and crowded because of size...

Middle east
Very wicked without empathy. But good money compared to Nigeria. Education or training is mediocre compared to Europe or America

Africa
Just like Nigeria, maybe a little more disciplined, more principled, less criminals than Nigeria. They still have some mumu mumu policies and cultures like Nigeria.


Asia, india, latin America are a mixture of the rest. Like Chile, is nice.

you right bro! In America, make sure your record is clean and the sky is your limit!
If you mess up your record, you don begin get issues lol

ogbonti:
15 million dollars ? which tree you won pluck the money from? you smoke sh iii tt?

99% of Americans will never see $1 million of their own money cash in their lifetime na him you yeye immigrant with kokoyam naija accent won come make $15 million ? are u alright ?

you think say PDP and APC embezzlement dey exist for abroad ? or you think say na as ona dey see 15 million naira wey ona no work for in Nigeria, you think say na so we dey see 15 million $$$ ?

Make I clear you sharperly, 90% of Nigerians here in America- even those doing legit work - even medical doctors and scientists, IT pros all that regardless of wether they live in New York or California where wages are high, most of them don’t have $50,000 saved in a year

Am talking about professionals oooo with experienced working hard

The average worker in America will be glad to have $10,000 saved for the year

Most travel most people do coming to naija, na credit card ooo no let nobody deceive u




Good luck to you

Bro you lie! Depending on the IT job, of which most with the right certification and skill are 6 figure jobs.
People do two of those jobs and take in like 250k annually.
Stop being delusional, what is 50k in savings! When I was doing menial job like delivery and Uber, I had that lol

relocated around same time, was rough initially but with God and hardwork, it’s worth it so much now. All these people talking about kpako house abroad, loneliness and mortgage don’t seem to know jack about the system abroad. Yes, you pay mortgage to own a house, so what! If you are tired of paying mortgage, you can like sell the house next day and people are rushing it buy it and you will make profit on top plus the equities you have gathered from not paying rent instead you are paying mortgage. So let’s say equity of 5 years/at 1k (usually more than that) accumulates to 12 x 5 = 60k, plus the profit you would have made from profit of the house appreciation. You can either, go buy a new house and start paying mortgage again hoping to sell or take your money and go back to Nigeria and build yourself a house.
They keep talking about loneliness, I just laugh because, you can go to various clubs, social events etc and mingle so how is that lonely. People married with kids, are they lonely too?
Also don’t forget, they are still Nigerians, if I tire,I carry all my money come back to naija na.
You go pursue me?
Living abroad gives you OPTIONS (from work, healthcare etc) people living in Nigeria will never most likely have.
As for people thinking Nigerians abroad all wash dead bodies, I just laugh…look while looking for papers you might do those things but when you get it, the doors open and you will do respectable remote 6 figure jobs and live your dream.
Abroad is not prison, if I tire, I come naija flex like a month or 2 or 4 and go back and hustle. People live like that too.
Life is not all about flexing na.
We work and flex, living in naija won’t make you have such opportunities . So don’t be afraid to migrate. I was afraid at first becos I did not know one single person but now my connection reach number one person for the country. No lie!
Will it have been possible in Naija?
I just wanna remain anonymous here, if I post pictures una go madt lol

Primusinterpares:
Bros pls talk to me. You have real experience. What are the Pros and Cons?

PS:
For the best original Nigerian folktales best for film adaptation, contact me.
I have some awesome folktales never adapted for film and TV.
I wrote 23 of them for the weekly puppet drama of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Channel 10 when I was 18 as the youngest professional independent scriptwriter.in Africa in the 1980s and NTA produced and televised 19. The remaining 4 could not be produced, because of technical difficulties.
The 4 folktales will be awesome for film and TV productions. They are available for options for film adaptation

How can you be reached?

kowalsky:
I already highlighted the misinformation. You don't reperfuse dead tissue. Once necrosis has set in so called 'peemanent' tissues of which skeletal muscles and nerves are, you debride (or this case where it's extensive) amputate. More so when the offending issue is diabetes.

lol you get time o

kowalsky:
So much misinformation on Nairaland and that's why you shouldn't seek help medical help from general forums.

Reperfusing the leg would only work if the tissue was alive not necrotizing. And even then success rates are low.
The onset of gangrene is a tell take marker that necrosis has already occured/is occurring.

so what’s the misinformation there? Just gave a general opinion

Abroad they would have let a vein from another part of the body to flow through that leg until it’s stabilized and it won’t have to be amputated but it will be very expensive. However I think you should go online, watch some of dr Jason fung videos on YouTube, read the diabetes code and also the obesity code. It’s gonna help your mum if you guys can practice some of the therapies recommended therein. Good luck

needhelp909:
My younger who is age 20 has been battling with a sickness for over a year now.
His body is swelling up.
Eyes, neck, legs and stomach. They all appear puffed.
We have done all kinds of test and treatment, nobody has been able to diagnose the nature of the sickness.
There is no pain whatsoever, just swellings especially after a nap.

Also he sleeps more than usual.
There was a period it went down for like 3 months.
But now we are back to it again.
He is having difficulty in breathing because of the throat swellings
I will be attaching some of the drugs he is using.
And will be available to answer questions.

Pls ignore the typos here.

He should go on YouTube and follow people like dr Jason fung, dr Eric berg and there’s a lady called Katherine that specializes on kidney issues. Whatever the case maybe, I think he should start with his diet…I would have recommended some basic tips that will help but I know there are lots of doubting thomases here that will start countering and discouraging you guys so I won’t do that here. If you are interested in the tips, dm me… it very easy and won’t even cost you a dime. Your brother will be better by God’s grace if he can do what’s recommended.

Zooposki:
You are right but might also be due to further reducing the low blood sugar in the morning, so a sugary drink is even more effective, unless you are really thirsty, then a small amount of water can quench that thirst.

I believe what you are trying to refer to here is called “dawn phenomenon” and it doesn’t reduce blood sugars in the morning, rather it is meant to increase blood sugar as your liver releases some sugar in preparation for you to start your day.
Taking sugary drinks in the morning has not correlation to passing out excess urine in the morning as a result of drinking lots of water.
Another phenomenon that can explain this is the osmosis experiment if you can remember the analysis. Water moving from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.
The electrolytes in the body is low thereby in order to balance it, what have to move out, on the contrary if one takes lots of salt like Himalayan salt for example, then the body will retain the water as it has enough electrolytes to balance it.
It’s a simple experiment that can be carried out using a hollow tuner of yam and adding salt into it and a little water and see how the water moves away into the lower concentration and vice versa.
Same applies to the body

The reason you are urinating a lot is because your body is trying to balance the electrolytes in your body. The electrolytes is made up of sodium, potassium, magnesium amongst other trace minerals.
If you drink water more than your body requires, it will make you pee in order to balance the electrolytes in your system. If you want to stop this from happening you can take some Himalayan salt as it has lots of these traces minerals, then the ratio of electrolytes to water in your system will be balanced.
Basically if ya better to drink water when you are thirsty and not just when you feel like to avoid losing electrolytes from excess urinating.

You have electrolyte imbalance.
You should buy pink Himalayan salt, take half teaspoon and mix it in water, you will see the difference. You should also look for magnesium supplement, buy avocado pear and some other multivitamins and take them and see how it will disappear. I have experienced such before and the moment I took half teaspoon of Himalayan salt mixed in a little water, I felt great. You will feel a kinda warm sensation on your chest and feel wonderful.
The issue is you take a lot of sugar previously and it has been knocking out your electrolytes and has made it imbalanced as you have been probably excreting a lot of salts, chromium, magnesium and potassium out of your system and this will cause the symptoms you just described.
But with you replenishing your nutrients intake with what I just mentioned, you will be fine.
I have also experienced such.
Take care

Put charcoal in those strategic locations and they will not come there again.
It works, as I have also tried it.
