Cholls:
My brother I just sneezed.

LOL! Pele

is this not common sense?

OutharryHIV:
I "accidentally" found out I had HIV in 2015... Worst year of my life.. I know you might be thinking that I'm a promiscuous person but I assure you, I'm very far from that... So this is how it all started?

I did my NYSC in my dad's company and finished in late 2014 and I was given a full year to go read a course I didn't even want. So I instead volunteered for Youth In Action Against HIV and poverty in Tanzania. My dad was furious but my mum understood.

It was 6months filled with lessons, tears, experience and a firsthand witness to the sufferings of others... We tended to the poorest of the poor in rural Tanzania.

I later came down to Borno and later North bank area of Benue state, I realized there were a lot of vulnerable people that are hungry and can't afford even cheap medical care thus they die of common malaria.

I didnt stay long in Borno before I started having this feeling of fatigue and blurry vision, I thought it was cuz of the stress that comes with what I do, so I decided to go home. Few days after getting home I started feeling this head splitting headache, I thought it was malaria/typhoid of which a lab test later confirmed.. Out of curiosity, I told the doctor to run a full check up.. Just to be on a safe side.. Which he did..

You should imagine my surprise when he told me I was HIV positive.. Nothing has ever prepared me for that moment.. It was funny how a malaria treatment could turn to an HIV nightmare.. I thought of just ending my life right then.

But i braced myself and took the drugs, I was surprised that it was free in Nigeria sef.

I rushed home and took my girlfriend to run the test and it turned out that she has it too...
We've been taking the drugs for the past 5years now with an high Cd4 count and a low viral load.. The virus is not detectable in our blood stream anymore and we are happily married and our first twin boys are negative.

If you're out there and you've been in my shoes.. Its not the end of your life.. Life just happens and its not entirely your fault.

I don't smoke, drink or live a reckless life or sleep around, like I've been in only one relationship all my life, so its not about your lifestyle.
I don't know if I got it from the idp camps or my girlfriend(she was the only person I was with at that time), we just didn't care, we moved on.

So lovelies, Take your ARV drugs, take fruits, eat well, within 3-6 months you can still have unprotected sex throughout your life with your partner without infecting them or your children.. You can live your life to the fullest and more.

P.s: HIV patients do not look skinny and dried up.. That's just an archaic stereotype...
It is also not a death sentence.

Most likely she gave it to you but thank God you guys managed it well.

Gone are the days when HIV was a death sentence... Now people have it and still live the full course of their lives.

Hofbrauhaus:
Didn't you hear those you recovered from the virus became reinfected?

We don't have enough test kits...

Only God can save us now.

The chance of having a Reinfection is minimal but not totally impossible.

Usually once you catch an infection and you recover, you become immune to that infection for a very long time.

I wonder why Lalasticlala has not found this front page worthy.

Let's discuss a way forward.

Electricboy:
jeez....I hope you are very well now sir ? I will carry out the preparation of the herbal mixture up there , and please get well fully sir

I am well and the symptoms are now t what you want to experience. I have lost so much weight and I kinda like it though.

Could not eat for over 10days chai! Every part of my body nah serious pain.

The self medication no be for here... Garlic and black grapes, aboniki balm, pain killers Beecham all in one panadol extra Day and night nurse flu tablets, ginger lime and so on..but despite that I was almost dead on the 31st of March... The symptoms became unbearable as my chest became so painful anytime I tried to breathe and aboniki balm was used thoroughly to massage my body n chest and I stuffed my nose with the balm... It was horrific.

I just thank God.

Electricboy:
which bug please ?

I'm referring to covid19

Fine young man.

What a country. See how the ineptitude of a Hospital that should be saving lives has caused.

R.I.P bro.

For the ignorant people asking why he opted for liposunction please hide your faces...anyone has the right to do what makes him or her happy.

There is no cure yet but you can only boost your immune system.

And once you catch the bug, just start treating the symptoms and hope on GOD and be optimistic that your immune system will fight it.

Garlic and honey also have antiviral properties so it might just be a good way of fighting the virus.

I was eating garlic and black grapes like no tomorrow when I had the bug.

Descorts:
We started as friends. We were so close she could do anything for me and I could do anything for her.

She had a boyfriend who was a serial cheat and treated her like trash. It got to a point they broke up and he left. She was heartbroken.

I gave her my shoulders to lean on. I was there for her throughout those turbulent times and made sure she was never sad again.

She moved on. 2 months on we started dating. It was all fun and rosy. I'm not the type to fall deeply in love or should I say, women don't tickle my fantasy, I'd rather be with my goons than be with any girl.

But this girl came into my life and I don't know what she did to me to make me so in love with her. I loved her, she loved me. It was a heaven made match and a relationship anyone would wish for. On my birthday she got me a really expensive gift and I fell even more for her.

3 months on, her birthday was close and I was planning to make it special for her. Then I heard her ex came back in town, I wasn't troubled, "she loves me so much and she won't bat an eyelid for him anymore" I thought.

And then it happened. She left me for her ex who came back for her. I heard from a reliable source that before he came back, they'd been communicating online and the guy told her he's coming to take her back and he did take her from me.....

I am broken.....
I shall rise again in no time, and when I rise... I AM GOING TO BE A HEARTLESS MONSTER.
These hoes... non virgins or virgins, young or old, I shall toy with their emotions and break them....

GAME ON

She used you as a part time lover as well as a get back lover.

The guy will leave her again and she will find a way to come back to you. Don't be a fool.

At the point of death, nothing else matters except the thoughts of what awaits you on the other side.


Don't ask me how I know, I have hung on the fragile silky thread of life and death at 3 different times in my life.

LORDofODDS:
Am not here to drag words with you but what I want you to know is that it's better for them to remain there in the UK with a good health care system rather than bringing them back to Nigeria endangering others.

I hope you knew what happened to Italy and USA, trying to evacuate it citizens out of China, now they are the biggest hit in the world. So it's beta we manage the case we have at hand. Peace

So you guys believe these crazy leaders that can lie like no tomorrow. Nobody in U.K or U.S will ever register to come home. Bunch of hopeless liars.

Lipscomb:
But why the government can't voluntarily pay for the returnees ticket... is that how its done in other country.

our Leaders are cursed beyond redemption, i weep for Nigeria

Make una dey decieve una sef with fake numbers.

All I know is that Many people in naija will survive it.

Chinnyrita27:
hi divine, you have a nice diary. It encouraged me the more to be strong. Can I send a pm please

Olakoredey@gmail.com

I begged NHS tire they refused to test me or even allow me visit hospital.

I begged them to just let me know what is wrong with me so I can treat it specifically that it may not be covid but for where... They said NHS is overwhelmed and until I have severe symptoms of difficulty in breathing I should just remain at home.

I saw HELL. On the 31st of March I had prepared myself to meet with my sweet saviour Jesus cos the symptoms became unbearable but to God be the glory that I am alive.

If you ask me I can not say I had covid but the symptoms I had were same as covid symptoms... Maybe when the antibody test is available I will test myself to know if I had it.

I saw hell. Could not eat for over 10days, lost all sense of taste... Food tasted like shit... Severe body pains and extreme fatigue with crazy cough and lots more.

I can't start to list all the crazy medications I used.. I stuffed my nose with aboniki balm to prevent that severe symptoms of difficulty in breathing...

But I'm fully back and well.

GLORY HONOUR POWER AND MAJESTY TO JEHOVAH. Thank you Jesus.

Guys this shit is real.

YungMillionaire:
This is why I don't believe in the Christian God. Even prayers to this God is like 9ja bet. Its all luck no God involved.

You need to read my thread about why GOD allows tragic death.

https://www.nairaland.com/5070962/why-does-god-allow-tragic

Hmmmm! I for don die too.

This bug showed me sege for 14days but to God be the glory.... I'm alive today.

See how it disfigured my lips after 10days of no food, no appetite... Food tasted like shit.

Juliearth:
Happy Easter, my precious!

happy Easter MY lady.

Juliearth:
Cooking done and dusted

you try.

The bible is specifically silent about it but overzealous Christians have created their own man made ideology about it.

One thing the Bible condemns is addiction of any kind is a sin.

whyteteeth:
Eversince this lockdown I have been home with my parents and there is a way my dad looks at one particular lady whenever she comes around to buy things in my mother's shop which I think is inappropriate. He teases her and calls her sweet names also. As a guy I have tried not to take it serious since it's one thing a lot of men do but I am beginning to suspect my dad for trying to have an extramarital affair with this said woman. She is beautiful though and she is still a young woman while my dad is in his fifties.

Now today, My father asked this same woman who happens to be a female tailor and makes female clothes to help him fix a zip in one of his trousers, which has possibly gone bad.

The woman blushed and didn't really give him much attention or any reasonable answer while he was busy saying it repeatedly till the woman left. I find this a little bit disturbing and inappropriate and possibly giving wrong signals. I mean it's not like it's a new clothe the woman was making for him or something. .

Another reason why I find this inappropriate and indecent is that, the zip can actually be fixed by any of these aboki people that mend clothes. Aboki do pass around my area every now and then, even yesterday they passed. So I want to know if my dad is up to something? And if he is, well i will just know for knowing sake.

What sort of childish thread is this?

ghettokid1:

According to the tweet

masterflowx:
The worst pandemic to befall humanity so far.
Dear God, remember you sent your only begotten son (Jesus Christ) to the world to pay the price of this death for us.

Lord, in your tender mercies forgive us all our shortcomings and heal the world with the blood of Jesus Christ that sheds on the cross of Calvary in Jesus name, Amen!

That means you know nothing about the Spanish Flu of 1918.

ThierryJay:
Thank God for your life. How did you get infected? Were u confirmed positive? How bad was the experience? Sorry to bombard u with all these questions.

My brother they will never test you here if you don't have certain symptoms. I just thank God for his mercies.

My name would have been in the list but I recovered. Thank you Jesus for your mercies.

Happy born day sir but you fall my hand big time.


Why you go donate COVID-19 relief funds to a corrupt Federal government?

healthserve:
Loneliness kills both sides, but no, pride won't allow connections to be made.


Pride and ego are the enemies.


If we take the veil that separates us, we can see ourselves more realistically and make " true humanistic" interactions devoid of any firm of power play.


I only wonder if these kind of days would revisit us again.


It's not an abroad phenomenon, people are evolving and are having much more than pristine love needs to much more sophisticated desires which offers realistically, emptiness, loneliness and nothing.



What do you think? Toks2008


BTW, it's the same back home, watch them make you try to prove why they should give you attention. Pride is a killer





Let's have some front page interactions, dear mods

Aki, you are right.

lefulefu:
hmm homebased naija women wey no get chill
bro its even better u just jejeli marry a woman dat is located where u staying cos afterall such a woman genuinly loves u but for u to come dey go naija to carry woman to come with u to europe thats a disaster in waiting.such a woman does not love u and is intersted in only getting to europe.as soon as she gets dere she will divorce u and take over ur properties .i always hear heart rendering stories of nigerian men going back to naija to collect home base wives then the women will divorce them and take over their house and move in their boyfriend into the house to be shagging them and she will even prevent u seeing ur own kids .there was one i read about one igbo man working as a security guard in atlanta and he went back to his village to marry homebased wife then brought her to atlanta.he trained her in nursing school then after everything the babe sharply divorce am then took over his house,his cars and prevented him from seeing his children then she invited her lover over the house to be shagging her.bros provoke one day took a gun and went to his former house and confronted her then he shot her then shot himself.the kids where in school when it happened and her lover was not around.at least a western woman might pity u small but if na homebased she will collect every of ur property and leave u whistling for ur share .

There are exceptions though, especially if you already knew the lady long enough before you traveled but if you are already out of the country, its better you dont bring any lady over but if you must, make sure she has like 2 kids for you already and the kids are of age maybe at least 5years then take her to be with you.

Shebbi nah person wey buy house abroad dem dey take over his house...with two kids between you guys already, e go hard am to misbehave cos most guys don't have much interest in after 2..

Patience is a virtue.

I am not sure but I guess Shola was used by yahoo boys. Ladies please i beg you, gone are the days when you leave a struggling guy for a rich guy, not all that glitters is gold...these are perilous times.

Erediauwa:
Some are still sending even when i stated it clearly that i don't have a pussy.

You don't need this shit.

Count it a privilege if guys PM you and don't let it get into your head.

This is why I don't do PMs
