How were you exposed or infected?
Are you still with your partner?

All the best bro and I wish you good health. A lot of "healthy" still live much more complicated lives than PLHIV.

GanagiBitrus:
Like I said, the coach will handle it.
&if the Coach was to give a press statement, he'd say it's nothing to worry about. Would you also accuse the coach of "supporting bad habits" ?

Even Lookman has played down the incident, so you guys should stop crying more than the bereaved.

Coach and Lookman have player their roles as they should - diplomacy. It's VO9's turn to do same and apologize and also put his emotion and temper under check.

In every family there's these uncles and aunts who knows nothing about you, they don't even know your name sometimes or how you survived into adulthood but feels you owe them allegiance whenever they see you.

first off I know it's an African thing to always respect people older than you, and before you crucify me I am also an adult now with his own adult life, I keep to myself and I don't force people to respect me as respect is earned.

A family member died and we all came back for it, coupled with the holidays, the whole extended family was present including some of those in diaspora, I'm an introvert so I keep to myself, I generally greeted everyone when I came and sat in my corner.

Then there's this useless Cockatoo who drank free beer until his brains froze, first he kept talking about yahoo boys, how they dress a certain way, how they do all sorts to be rich, how they kill people to be rich, they both with soap gotten from herbalist, they don't go to work yet they're living fine, they have cars at a young age etc.

Now when you're talking and you don't call my name trust me I won't answer you. Even if it's obvious you're talking about me, and from all indication this man was talking about me, one my mom is dead, two I earn online and don't physically go to work, third I am not begging I'm doing okay, but I still didn't pay him any mind, then he indirectly started talking about how they don't respect people enough, he was so pained for some reason and condescending.

I just got up and went to a shop outside our family house, as I was buying something this weyrey came, I got what I wanted and turned to leave and that was when I felt it, waaam at my back, this guy slapped me on my back, then he asked me directly, didn't you see me? Don't you know I'm your uncle?

I lost it, and like a reflex I slapped him back hard it was a resounding slap, he staggered backwards, and my cousins held me, before I know it has spread that I just slapped uncle whatever his name is, what's painful is everyone blamed me, for being disrespectful and suddenly it didn't matter what he did, I'm somehow supposed to attone for it.

this man didn't know how I survived till adulthood, not even a penny of his went into my upbringing, I don't know why he felt I owe him respect and allegiance, even if I did, why does he have to go about it that way.

How old is your uncle, I know there are uncles who are 5 years older, some you're probably age mates. If he falls within this category, I'd say your reaction wasn't too bad, but if he's really as old as your parents, then find a way to apologise.

Safe bro

Unarguably, he's got a bad attitude, but something triggers such attitude.
Osimhen is hungry and thirst for more, as a center forward it's annoying when your teammates become indecisive when pressuring.
Is it a big deal to just pass when necessary?
I've watched a lot of his matches, he overreacts when you don't give him what he wants which is the ball.
Just give him the ball when you are sidelined by an opponent, he's always there, always in the right angles.
Also, have Osimhen ever scold Lookman when he(Lookman) scores?? Infact Osimhen is always the fess to run to his wingers when they score.
But just give him the ball when you're sidelined, don't gamble a 1vs1 display when pressuring knowing quite well Osimhen has the space, he's spaced brilliantly, he will also point to you the spaces, don't gamble a 1vs1 display give him the ball. Then if eventually you gamble right and score he will be happy, but if you don't it annoys him because he sees it as a clear miss of chances.
I played CF role, it's annoying when your wingers are indecisive and gamble with opportunities like this after the runnings and energy wasted. Same reason Wayne Rooney overreacted at old Trafford .
I saw someone who mentioned that teams don't want him because of his attitude, that's a fact lie. A big fat lie!!

Attackers have the right to be selfish. You're winning comfortably, you've scored 2, its only normal for others to attempt getting their names on the score sheet, which is totally fine. What is not fine is consistent outbursts like this. Something that VO9 has littered across his playing career for different reasons.

Yes, no big team wants players who is always in the media for the wrong reasons more importantly against his own team.

VO9 needs to check his ego and temperament

GanagiBitrus:
Much ado about nothing.
The outburst was driven by his passion to excel for himself & his country.

The coach will talk to him, apologies will be made, & the team moves on. ✌️

Stop supporting bad habits. VO9 has a record of public outburst against team mates and technical crew scattered across his career from club to country.

Nigga should watch it.

So Damaturu to Abuja is farther than Maiduguri to Abuja?

Who measured this nonsense? Damaturu to Maiduguri is 120 kilometers. If you are traveling from Abuja to Maiduguri you’ll pass through Damaturu. Maiduguri is the farthest of any state capital to Abuja.

This first caught my attention, I knew the data isn't completely accurate

Hi guys,

I have a problem i have been dealing with since i was 12. I am from a large family and when i was 12, my mum told me my Dad is not my biological father and for me to make it a secret. I did not know what to do with such an information at that age but i knew it was wrong but i couldnt talk so i am not the one who destroys the family. Everyone lives in peace but i always wonder what will happen if only they know the truth. My biological father has other children and some of them know me that i am outside. He was involved in my life financially from 12years as far as i am aware of. He sent me money then and i kept quiet too and also supported me financially a couple of times though we have no personal relationship asides 2-3mins phone calls here and there and it is been like that for years.

I know my biological father and we kept in touch while i was in secondary school. Now that i am an adult now, i feel really sad about the whole thing and sometimes i even cry on my bed. I have been living in secret and a double life and fearing i might be outed one day. Some people in my mother's family are aware which is very strange and i find it shameful as a man now but i did not choose my fate. I have always tried to forget it and just leave my life but it is always just there especially when i think about starting my own family. I am striving hard for it not to define the way i see marriage and life as i am trying to write a different story for myself.

I grew up with my father who is not my biological father and i have been a good son to him as well and still taking care of him but it bothers that my whole life is a lie and it is hard knowing what i know and i can't say anything as that will scatter the family. I met some girls from a very good home who i can marry but i am scared if i tell her or other girls, that her parent will not let me marry her with that secret.

I am scared of getting married publicly as someone can take the news to my biological father as i do not intend to invite him as my biological father but i always feel heavy anytime i think about it. I want to start a new life for myself but i don't know how to handle this. I do not plan to tell my father as he is getting old and this can kill him at his old age as he has been through a lot in life. He is finally enjoying and i am taking care of him very well and he prays for me all the time.

I am building a good life for myself as a professional and have a lot of girls around me but i don't know what to do. Should i keep quiet and tell the girl i marry after marriage ? Isn't that me building my marriage on deceit. It is a shameful thing to talk about if you look at it.

Sometimes, i feel like they caused me trauma putting me in this position but i am an adult now and will bear responsibility for how i live my life and cant continue to blame any trauma or anyone. I am the one who has to keep quiet for peace to reign in the family.

I don't want to wait too long just incase it is a dealbreaker for someone but i also don't want to be disclosing to anyone.

Aside from marriage, i still do not know what to do with that information.

Go meet you biological dad and let him know how you feel, tell him you wanna get married and Egypt you acknowledge him you would want your adopted dad to be your father. (Since he's agreed to take the back seat all these years, it shouldn't hurt him to do that once more - be firm in your decision)

Meet your mum and tell her same, it's time she own up to her responsibilities and be accountable.

Your dad (adopted), I think you should also find time and place to tell him, let him know you're still his son and you intend to always be.

I don't think it's a secret to keep from your gf, I don't see it a Biggie if you tell the truth, it's only worse when you keep it a secret. While we don't all come from families with this kinda mess, sane adults know it's outta your control.

So pick a side and let everyone fall in line. Start building your own future so you don't repeat your parents mistakes

Tell them at home to shut up and teach you how to use your head!

1 Crash in 13k flight is okay to you right? Then may you and your family be in that unfortunate 1 in 13k flight!

And may those Gunners meet you ablazing!

People for my house dey use their sense, I can't say the same for you and yours.

No matter how bitter you are, Nigeria and you backward politicians/president got nothing on US or any other European country. So stop being bitter and stop asslicking your Bala blue president.

I later discovered it's not alternator issue, the car didn't work well I have to increase the performance of the car. It's now fixed. Thank you very much

I'm glad you're able to fix it.

I strongly thought it was the alternator, as I've been there a few times.

Good luck boss and enjoy it

Na people wey dey steal Rice, meat and baby food get sense pass.

Antichristian2:
Na who shoot am now ooooooo?

Why are Americans not shouting "America is finished"?

People are just being shot almost every week!

Hardly a month comes in the US without an aircraft crash or mishap!

If it was Nigeria......

Shut up and use your head. A country that handles millions of flights annually cannot but experience crashes.

How does 1 crash in 13k flights represents failure?

Can it be improved yes, but don't even compare that record with Nigeria and grow up

Hello Nairalanders,

For the past 3 weeks now I have been having some issues on my car battery. Most time I will park it in the night only to start it in the morning and found out the battery has drained but the surprise comes when I jump-start it with another battery and it works then drive it and stay in office for almost 11hrs, whenever I start the car it will work perfectly, the only time it drains is overnight.

Mech Engineers/ Rewires in the house, please what could have been the cause. Thank you very much.

I guarantee it's your alternator. 💯

Fix it before you buy new battery else, the new battery will be drained in 2 weeks

Because coups destabilise regions and we are a part of these regions. If they (ECOWAS and the AU) had used more brute force maybe we wouldn't have had most of these stupid coups.

You're justifying this but screamed your lungs out when Trump threatened boots on ground to eliminate terrorists terrorising our sanity

Patriotic9ja:
It can happen. It has happened before when GEJ was vice president. That was what led to the amnesty program in Niger Delta for militants

Must you justify rubbish just to support your fav?

That it occurred before didyn't mean it should continue and yeah the dynamics are different.

Stop being foolish so tomorrow they don't have to negotiate for your release or for those close to you

You're still set in your wrong idea on what you think is a matter of opinion. Smh.


You cannot reduce security around the President. I don’t know who messed up you guys thinking or made you bereft of knowledge of government works. Even he can't reduce it!

The President is the most important part of the Sovereign. It's not your market association President. The highest possible level of security must ALWAYS be around him! Same courtesy just extended to a former President GEJ.

Lol. You still don't get it. No one said the president should be exposed. We are saying if the community is safe you don't need bloated convoy. Read that again

You keep mentioning GEJ, GEJ was in imminent danger, definitely the country must do it's best to bring him back, something that the Nigerian govt failed to do.

Does the president need convoy or escort of 50people to move around Aso Rock? I'd bet NO. That's because the villa is presumed "safe", it still doesn't mean there are no security physically with him, it only means physical escorts are reduced and efforts are made to secure the whole villa.

FreeStuffsNG:
The symbol of our Sovereign is the President. He is not only at risk from community threat. Ndume is not being credible and wise comparing the security of the President.

Even ex President GEJ was in Guinea Bissau yet there was frantic effort to protect him . Does it mean there are no Nigerians still in Guinea Bissau till now? Of course not! There will still be thousands of Nigerians in Guinea Bissau.

No one said take away his security, we are saying it should reduce if there is general safety.

In a peaceful society, with no threat internally, there's no need to have a convoy of 50 - 70 vehicles.

10 - 15 is enough and use tech to cover the rest

mascot87:
Fearless because we have a Southerner as President but completely deaf and dumb when we had a Northern President. The problem with some of you Southerner is been too dumb to get deceived easily once anyone is attacking whom you hate passionately. You will also agree with the devil as long as it's against whom you hate. You people need to purge yourself of bitterness

When will you all stop this religious and tribal nonsense.

This is exactly what democracy should look like (balance of power). Tinubu took away their security, they in turn state the fact that the president also don't need so much security.

Ndume is right, if the communities are secured, the president don't need 50+ vehicles in his convoy. Invest same into tech support for his security

BondRiv:
He is the only one entitled to do so. The rest of you should move with less, including the so-called VIPs. Have you seen the U.S. President's motorcade? Focus on real issues.

POTUS motorcade within the us is mostly less than 10. Our president moves around with more than 50. Ndume is right, secure the community not individuals

bigdammyj:
Sen. Ndume is simply saying, charity should begin at home. But in this case, he should realize that the President is the Commander in Chief.

If the community is secured, the CiC don't need 50+convoy to move around.

Ndume is right.

FreeStuffsNG:
It's like this police withdrawal really touched a raw spot in these guys

The President is completely different and in this case he provided alternative to the police.
Go get the NSDC guys and stop getting bitter.

Yeah, right move by the president.

Nevertheless, Ndume is right, secure the community not individuals. If the community is secure the president can move around with less convoy and still feel/be safe

In my former neighbourhood, there was this young man that was studying medicine in the university, a very brilliant chap and doing very well in his academics.

Though the parents were struggling financially, they made sure all his needs were met.

An opportunity came
then with the Nigerian Government giving scholarship to scholars to school in Russia and this guy was successful as he got a scholarship to study Engineering in Russia .

That was it ,he married a Russian woman and broke communication with his parents and siblings in Nigeria .

The parents were heart broken especially the mum as it made her fall ill and she never recovered from it.
She died and the son didn't come to Nigeria for final farewell.

The dad just died and still no show from him.
Just got chatting with one of his siblings and he said he is yet to fathom why he acted this way as he was well treated as a kid before he went to Russia.
What could have really made him to act this way is a million dollar question.
Life.

Not sure all is well with, he could be in prison.

Tgini:
No problem we like support but Wetin Una want in return , the us no dey give help for free . See what they did to Ukraine .

What did they do to Ukraine? Maybe you should have asked for the alternative if they never for once 'helped' Ukraine.

Why should they help you for free? Do kidnappers release their victims for free, do the government provide any amenities for free??

The billions they've pumped into this country as grants over the years (all sectors) what have Nigeria given them in return?

It's ok to want something in return, the arguement should be how to properly negotiate and ensure we get the best deal.

That's the difference between both of us. Before you think I'm one of the Japanese crew, I am absolutely not. I'd say you give up living with the victim mentality and start living right.

helinues:
Tell us where precisely is christian persecution happening in Nigeria or na based on them say you are using to argue this?

What is painful is that everyone in the current government denying Christian genocide in Nigeria had at some point publicly affirmed the fact.

If you don't want American boots on ground that's a different topic but claiming there is no genocide is atrocious.

I know people like you dread crossing Abuja/Kaduna boundary but you all forget it's humans who live in Benue, Plateau, Niger, Kogi, Sokoto, Borno, Yobe, Kebbi etc.

Make una rest, your pay masters dont like DT's threat then tell them to do the needful, Nigerians don too die.

Abdul05:
How can Nigerians fight a country where food and electricity are constant.... Please let us be serious,..

But if what bashir Ahmed said in reaction to US interfering about Sharia law..then he has a point in principle..

Trump has no right to dictate internal religious or legal system..unless there is a clear human right violence

What other clear human right violence are you waiting for. Deborah was murdered in broad day light within the school.

Many other Christians are being judged using Sharia despite not being Muslims. Sharia should be for Muslims not the entire geo location

“Those who were key actors in the genocide perpetrated in Gaza must answer to justice, there can be no impunity,” he adds when asked about the possibility of legal proceedings against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Everyone directly involved in perpetuating Gaza genocide and those complicit like President Donald Trump and USA that provided the funds and weapons that Isreal and PM Netanyahu used for the Gaza genocide must face I.C.C.

Ceasefire and declaration of an end to the war to save Netanyahu/Israel/US after they failed to defeat Hamas in direct war confrontation for more than 2 years is not going to stop the holding to account of everyone involved. This will be done.


Your own definition of 'powerful ' is two grown up grandfathers 'gramps' who murder women, children and babies in a genocide. Smh.

They will face I.C.C and heaven will not fall. If in doubt, tell Netanyahu to travel to any country that is a signatory to the Rome statute that set up the I.C.C. He will be arrested, handcuffed and extradited straight to the Hague!

Trump’s cunningly trying to extricate himself after he realized that his legacy will be the Gaza genocide but unfortunately it's too late. The faces of world leaders in Egypt yesterday says a lot about how they see Trump behind him here https://edition.cnn.com/2025/10/14/world/video/trump-gaza-plan-robertson-analysis-vrtc

What genocide?

Before a single soul was lost in Gaza, Israel officially declared war.

Historically in every war there are always thousands of civilian casualties.

Japan killed less than 4k people unprovoked at pearl harbour, they paid with over 200k at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Hundreds of thousands of Germans died in Hitler's senseless war, I've never heard you call it genocide, hundreds of thousands have been brutally killed in Nigeria but your government are busy granting senselss amnesty.

You can't be shouting genocide when you're using human shield, especially in a genocide you started first
