Are we looking away from a silent crisis?
While the headlines focus on politics and the economy, the latest health data reveals a sobering reality. Over the last three months alone, thousands of Nigerians have tested positive for HIV.
Is your state doing enough regarding testing, awareness, and prevention?
Here is the official breakdown of newly tested HIV-positive patients across Nigeria between March and May 2026, according to the National Data Repository.
High numbers can mean two things: a higher spread, or simply better, more aggressive testing campaigns in those states.
👇 What do you think is driving these numbers in your state? Are advocacy programs fading, or is healthcare access improving?
Drop your thoughts in the comments below. Let’s talk about it.

When you pay NGO field workers per the number of new hiv patients they can find. What do you expect??

Dangote is the weapon fashioned against us.. So once the importers exhaust their products, he'll increase the price again. It's well

This section is just 6.12km which is not even completed. But you guys have rushed to mount street lights.
On the day of commissioning, you'll declare it to be 100km

A NEPA staff who was electrocuted in 2023 had his both arms amputated because he refused blood transfusion based on this same belief. I wonder how he's going to feel now with this adjustment

Una want Tinubu's oversea Refinery to shut down.. Dey play😂

Hello, I'm asking on behalf of someone apply for visitor's visa to write OSCE. She currently leaves with a friend and her family, for close proximity to work. Her friend's Parents own the house. Is it ok to put that under 'give more details about living situation?

Just be careful.. Not owning a home or having a formal tenancy agreement can sometimes be viewed as having "weak ties" to your home country.

Goodluck70000:
Congratulations


Please what was the reason they refused first application?


2) how much is ur monthly income?

3) how much is ur travel expenses in pounce?

4) have you travel before?

1. See refusal letter below
2. N127,000
3. 2015 GBP (Cost of OSCE examination inclusive)
4. No

Hello everyone.
Please does anyone have an idea how long a visitors visa is taking these days?
I know it’s typically 3 weeks but I just wanted to know if anyone has gotten theirs recently and if yes - when did they apply.
Thanks

I got refusal letter for my first application on the 15th (working) day.
I reapplied on 13th January, got approval notification on 21st January

You guys need to come together and carry out load assessment in each person's flat or room. You have to lookout for water heater, electric iron and electric cooker.
Na those appliances dey drink energy

Criminals... What we are asking for is Mandatory Electronic Transmission of Result. But APC criminals brought in "Real-time" to make it look as if what sane Nigerians are asking for is not achievable.

Results should be transmitted after counting of ballots, and signing of result sheet by party agents before leaving the polling unit.

Goodluck70000:
@ Trendie thanks for ur quick response

One more question please,Did you also scan and ,sign the checklist before uploading it? Or you did not include it because they said is not necessary for self uploading.

I didn't include the checklist

Goodluck70000:
@ Trendie congratulations for not give up


1)Please did you scan and upload all the pages in ur Passport datapage when you are uploading ur documents at vgs website for the second application?


Because they said it's a new rule on like before that we just scan only the passport first page

Thank you..
I scanned and uploaded all the pages

Trendie247:

yarimo:
is he kneeling to thank her or kneeling to talk to her ?

If he could kneel to talk to her, he could even lie on the floor to thank her.

OK, we have seen.. But how about this?

giselle237:
Your fears are correct.
Also they will pick up your sponsorship. The reason you gave is not cohesive.
You sad your employer is sponsoring your OSCE exam so that you will become a better nurse. How so?
Osce exam is to enable you no longer work in Nigeria but make u eligible to work in the UK, so how would you be of benefit to a Nigerian employer this way?
Why would a Nigerian employer that pays you 120k suddenly have. 2m to give to you to go and write a foreign exam?
The next application they would likely bring up another reason because your financial history is a no no.
That’s why they listed everything down for you to see.
127k salary they won’t take that chance that you will return back to Nigeria.
If you have a spouse or children then maybe they would believe you, otherwise I see another refusal lined up.

Although I listed it as a gift, the sponsorship is actually a training bond that requires me to return and work for the company for a minimum of two years

Taal17:
In your next application make sure you address the reason why you were denied.

They listed it there

No qualifications and no evidence that you are registered nurse .

Did you provide that earlier ?

I will provide them in my next application. But my fear is that they may now focus on the funding and sponsorship, cos they just mentioned them without further details.

For the certificate, below is what I provided, I didn't think nursing certificate would be important since NMC UK registration details and PRN was provided. (You can't register with NMC UK without providing your nursing certificate and license)

My application was rejected.. How best can I address this?

I can bet my left ball that all those mentioning HIV don't even know their own status, but they'll just be opening their mouth Waaah..

@OP, I've had same thing on my body, especially my back for years. I tried getting rid of it but couldn't. I stopped bothering about it when I discovered one of my sis and bro also have it.

Good evening house,

Total money in my account currently is 2.2m.
My salary is just about 127k monthly

saint4belles:

Visa decision can take 21 days.

So 4th to 26th is too close.

OK, thank you.

It looks like I can't select a future date apart from the suggested date.

jmoore:
Why not do your biometrics this November?

I'm currently in PH. I'm planning to travel to Lagos nextweek for the biometrics, then stay till 26th.

Hello everyone. Please, is it possible for the visa to be approved before my travel date on 26th December?

I’ve already booked and paid for my flight to the UK for my NMC UK OSCE exam, which is scheduled for 25 February 2026. I’ve also paid for my visa fee (Standard), and I plan to schedule my biometrics appointment for next week, 4th December.

GanagiBitrus:
Right, EUFA deserved extra slots.
Italy are in danger of not qualifying, &yet they can comfortably beat most of the teams in other Federations.

So why didn't they qualify if they are that good?

Hello house,
I’m planning to apply next week for a UK visiting visa to attend my OSCE exams. I’m based in Port Harcourt, and I was told that applicants here pay an extra £150 as visa processing fee at the VFS centre.

I’m considering travelling to Lagos to process my application instead, but I’m not sure if the same extra charge applies there too.

Please, does anyone know if the Lagos visa centre also collects an additional processing fee? And if yes, how much exactly?

I’ll really appreciate feedback from anyone who has recently applied from Lagos or Port Harcourt.

Thanks in advance. 🙏

Okonsbecky:
If u still never withdraw, msg me or quote me

I've withdrawn about 100k so far from 1.01 odd winnings,
Lost 50k in the process.

100k and 50k winning withdrawals are currently pending.

Sapeleboy911:
Did you read and understand the T&C you posted? A bookmaker will not allow you to withdraw your deposit without staking it for at least once, some even require minimum odds for your stake to be considered a valid turnover. Go and engage them on X. Their chat support will be too slow to resolve your issue.

They are still saying the same thing on Twitter, and none of them can explain the terms and conditions

Kingluqman:
So you wan use Sporty for money laundery and you think sey dem no get rules

The money came from my account, and was withdrawn to the same account it came from.. Is that money laundry?

And besides they asked me to provide my ID and account statement, which I did.
