Please can you tell me how I'll prepare this. And is there any side effects I should look out for? ( I've lost a lot of weight and I'm a shadow of myself) Listen. Health is super simple. Just do the right things. Buy all these things: ginger lemon cloves cayenne pepper in powder form add water and drink a number of cups during the day. Eat nothing. Eat nothing. Optional: 10 mins sauna every other day. Do this for 3 days. Check how you feel. So what changed? |
Health › Re: Help!!! I'm Smelling. by Votukpa(m): 9:52pm On May 15 |
G Marawaitlist: I don’t know exactly where to begin my story, but I will start from somewhere.
( P.S. this story is totally my own, I used AI to correct the grammatical blunders and reconstruct it better, to save people the pain of going through my mumble jumble that I can't seem to relay in an organised manner, please forgive me if you feel offended.)
It all began in late 2023. I had just finished writing my final papers at a university in one of the Southwestern states, and I was waiting for my final clearance.
One day, I noticed that whenever I was talking, people would cover their noses. It was so embarrassing that I genuinely thought it was the worst thing that could ever happen to me. Desperate for a fix, I tried every oral hygiene method I could find, but the problem persisted.
After my clearance, I went straight from school to the NYSC orientation camp. There, my issue only grew worse. I couldn't associate or connect with people the way I wanted to. I spent my entire stay in camp feeling deeply depressed and isolated.
At first, I thought the camp food or water was to blame, but I knew deep down that couldn't be true since the issue had already started back at school in a completely different state. To make matters worse, while in camp, I developed a distressing ear problem alongside the odor issue, and I had no idea what was causing either of them.
Once the 21 days of camp were over, I returned home to Lagos and began searching intensely for a solution. I visited three different government hospitals before I was finally referred to a federal hospital in Yaba. There, I was directed to the ENT ward, where they flushed my ears. I was also diagnosed with acid reflux and given just two types of medication. Since then, I have done extensive research on acid reflux, GERD, and their related symptoms. I eventually read in a medical journal that my ear issues were likely caused by reflux traveling from my stomach to my ears while I slept.
Armed with my medications, I traveled to my Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) in a North Central state. I finished the entire prescription, but there was no significant improvement. In frustration, I begged my principal to take me to local alternative medicine practitioners. He took me to an Islamic medicine store, where I explained my symptoms and was told I had a "b_ulcer_". I bought some remedies made of raw honey and other natural ingredients. Even though I was completely broke and trying to survive on a meager 33k monthly allowance, I kept spending my money on raw honey and natural treatments.
Still, the problem refused to abate. It severely damaged my confidence and wrecked my mental health, but I kept pushing through. Imagine trying to teach or talk to students while watching them cover their noses.
I even visited a dentist at the general hospital in that town to get a professional teeth cleaning, but it was all in vain. I endured this for a whole year until I completed my youth service and relocated to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
During my service year, I noticed new worrying symptoms: my urine became unusually colored and smelled terrible, and I felt a constant, nagging urge to clear my throat. This raised a massive red flag for me.
I had managed to save a little money during my service year, and my plan was to lock myself in and focus entirely on my online grind, which involves coding. I rented an apartment, set up internet access, and bought the basic essentials I needed for daily life.
Yet, the issues persisted. Living alone and constantly devastated, I began to fear that something else was seriously wrong with me. I underwent multiple medical tests across three different facilities, but every single time, they told me nothing was wrong. I clearly explained all my symptoms:
- Cloudy, foamy, and foul-smelling urine - The persistent body and mouth odor - A constant need to clear my throat (which produces a thick, - ------ white, catarrh-like substance) - Mild, constant discomfort in my stomach
Over that period, I ran a kidney function test, a liver function test, urine tests, sputum tests, among others.
Desperate, I went to a major hospital. When I explained everything to the doctor, she told me she couldn't perceive any odor at all and suggested that I might just be overthinking it. Still, she ordered a stool and urine test. When the results came back, they said I was perfectly healthy.
Next, I decided to see a specialist—a gastroenterologist. They ran multiple tests and declared me fine, but referred me to a major diagnostic lab for a stomach scan. That, too, came back completely normal. I spent so much money on consultation fees, expensive medications, and endless lab tests, yet the problem remained.
Eventually, I stopped going to church. Every Sunday, I would return home spiraling into depression. I am a very sensitive person, and I instantly notice when people avoid me or cover their noses around me.
Since then, I have felt like giving up on myself. My coding grind has suffered terribly because I cannot focus. I have just been spending money on medical bills without making any income. Recently, I traveled to Lagos and explicitly asked my family members if I smelled bad or if they noticed any odor when I spoke. They looked at me and said no, there was absolutely nothing.
In a bid to manage it on my own, I cut out most of the foods I used to enjoy. No more beans, garri, or eba. I completely stopped consuming acidic foods, citrus fruits, and carbonated or caffeinated drinks—a strict diet I have maintained since 2023.
A while ago, I visited a friend, and we tried a small herbal remedy made from hog plum leaves (Spondias mombin) infused in water. Surprisingly, almost all my symptoms seemed to clear up, except for the odor from my mouth or stomach—I don’t even know which one it is anymore. Because the remedy just tasted like sweet water, I packed the rest of it and brought it back to my base.
It has now been six months since my last active attempt to fight this. I have drastically improved my oral and body hygiene, but now it feels like body odor has joined the list of my problems.
Right now, my biggest challenges remain this foul-smelling urine (my family told me to use miracle leaf (Kalanchoe pinnata) every three days, which normalizes the color of my urine and reduces the smell, but I don't think it has cured it), people covering their noses from a distance when I speak, and this new body odor. I am working hard on my hygiene every day, but all these symptoms seem to be deeply connected.
I'm so depressed and suic!Dal, but I can't kill myself, I'm just waiting for everything to end, either way. Looks like you're dealing with chronic halitosis mainly caused by a stubborn bacteria called H-pylori. Useless Nigerian doctors cannot even spell halitosis talk less of perform the right diagnosis for this situation. Your hygiene regimen cannot deal with this matter at its root. You need to create the right 'environment' for this bacteria to suffocate and die. Go on 7 days ginger,clove and cayenne pepper, oregano drink tea fast. |
Romance › Re: Do Women Really Fall In Love? by Votukpa(m): 7:26am On May 11 |
isrealoski: “DO WOMEN REALLY FALL IN LOVE?”
Before some of you attack this thread emotionally, calm down first 😄
This is not a “men vs women” war post.
This is a deep observation about human behavior, attraction, survival, status, psychology, and relationships.
Inside this thread, we’ll be talking about:
• Why status changes how people treat you. • The hidden psychology behind attraction. • Why some relationships feel real until life becomes difficult. • Why many people mistake survival for love. • Why I stopped seeing relationships emotionally and started observing them mentally. • The 3 forces that secretly influence most modern relationships. • And the one relationship lesson I discovered after years of observation that changed my perspective completely.
Read carefully till the end.
The final part is the most important.
Now let’s begin.
I grew up in a very comfortable environment.
Not billionaire level 😄 But comfortable enough that life treated us differently.
My father built houses. My father built a church in Somolu, Lagos. At conferences and gatherings, people treated us with respect. People rushed to carry luggage. Seats were reserved. Doors opened automatically.
As a child, you don’t understand these things deeply.
You just think: “This is normal.”
And because of that environment, getting girls back then was extremely easy.
Very easy.
At that age, I genuinely believed love was simple.
I believed attention came naturally. I believed attraction was pure. I believed people simply liked people for who they were.
I was young.
Life had not educated me yet.
SECTION 1: “Love Is a Lie. This Is the Reason.”
Years later, life changed.
I left home. The comfort reduced. Reality became louder.
And suddenly, the same world that once felt soft became difficult to understand.
Conversations changed. Attention changed. Access changed.
That was when I started observing human beings deeply.
One day, one of my guys told me something that stayed in my head for years.
There was this girl that had been turning him down consistently.
No attention. No interest. Nothing.
Then one day, he borrowed his boss’s car.
Everything changed instantly.
The same girl suddenly had time. The same girl suddenly became responsive. The same girl suddenly became interested.
By the third date, they had already slept together inside the car.
Now pause here.
Most people reading this thread will immediately choose sides emotionally.
Some will say: “The girl is shallow.”
Others will say: “The guy manipulated her.”
But me?
I sat down quietly and started asking myself deeper questions.
Was the guy wrong? Or was he simply adapting to a reality he understood?
Was the girl evil? Or was she responding to status, comfort, and perception the same way many humans naturally do?
That experience changed something inside me.
Not into bitterness.
No.
Into awareness.
SECTION 2: “Why Most People Fail in Relationships—and How Awareness Changes Everything.”
One dangerous thing about growing up protected is this:
You mistake comfort for truth.
You think the world is softer than it really is.
Then reality shocks you later.
The older I got, the more I realized that attraction is not always purely emotional.
Sometimes people are attracted to: • security, • confidence, • stability, • lifestyle, • intelligence, • beauty, • ambition, • potential, • influence.
And honestly? Both genders do this in different ways.
Men may overlook red flags because of beauty.
Women may overlook red flags because of potential.
Humans are emotional creatures pretending to be logical.
And logical creatures pretending to be emotional.
That’s why relationships confuse people so much.
SECTION 3: “The Hidden Psychology Behind Every ‘Perfect Match’—And Why Most Miss It.”
Over time, I discovered something about myself.
I’m not attracted only physically.
I’m attracted mentally.
If all we talk about is: “Let’s eat.” “Send money.” “Buy this.” “Take me out.”
My brain disconnects immediately.
But if I tell you an idea, and instead of just listening, you sharpen it further…
Now you have my attention.
For example:
Imagine I say: “If you place three books on a table publicly, people unconsciously feel like completing the set.”
Then the person replies: “Actually, four books may work better psychologically because the missing one feels easier to complete.”
That kind of interaction wakes my brain up.
That’s attraction to me.
Not just beauty.
Mental sharpness.
That’s why many modern relationships exhaust me.
Too much physical attraction. Too little intellectual chemistry.
Many people can date each other physically… but cannot challenge each other mentally.
SECTION 4: “The Invisible Codes That Dictate Who Stays and Who Leaves in Love.”
The more I observed life, the more I stopped asking: “Who is good?” and started asking: “What influences human behavior?”
And honestly?
Most humans are not evil.
Most humans are responding to: • survival, • insecurity, • ego, • attraction, • fear, • opportunity, • comfort, • pressure, • and timing.
That realization changed the way I judge people.
These days, I no longer worship fantasies.
I observe patterns instead.
And one painful truth I discovered is this:
Reality respects value.
A broke man with confidence still struggles. A successful man with confidence gets listened to faster.
Painful truth. But truth.
SECTION 5: “How Your Past Shapes Your Future Relationships—And What You Can Do Differently.”
Maybe that’s why I no longer rush relationships anymore.
Right now, I’m rebuilding myself quietly.
No pressure. No desperation.
In fact, I’ve gone about two years without sex or relationships, and I’m perfectly fine.
Because now I understand something many people don’t:
Love without stability can quickly become stress.
Some people hate hearing that truth.
But people who have experienced financial hardship inside relationships understand exactly what I mean.
Money is not everything.
But lack of money can damage many things.
That’s reality.
SECTION 6: “The Three Lessons My Mother Taught Me About Love That I’m Still Grateful For.”
As I grew older, life slowly taught me three important things:
1. Never allow emotions blind you completely.
2. Never build relationships only on temporary feelings.
3. Peace of mind is more valuable than forced attachment.
Those lessons stayed with me deeply.
Because the older you get, the more you realize attraction alone cannot sustain anything meaningful.
SECTION 7: “If You’re in a Relationship or Considering One, These Are the Three Forces You Must Know Before It’s Too Late.”
After years of observing people, relationships, attraction, and behavior…
I discovered there are THREE kinds of relationships.
1. Survival Relationships. People stay because they need something: money, security, comfort, status, access, support.
2. Emotional Relationships. People stay because of feelings: chemistry, attachment, loneliness, desire, excitement.
3. Mental-Spiritual Relationships.
This one is rare.
Very rare.
This is when two people genuinely sharpen each other’s minds, discipline, peace, growth, vision, and soul.
Not just romance.
Not just resources.
Alignment.
That third type?
That is the only kind of relationship I’m willing to wait for now.
Even if it takes years.
Because once you experience mental resonance with somebody, shallow attraction starts losing power over you.
And maybe that’s why I no longer panic about relationships anymore.
Right now, I’m still building. Still observing. Still learning people quietly.
Ironically, some of my writings have gone viral online multiple times…
Yet I still remain anonymous.
And honestly?
I like it that way.
Anonymity allows you to study human beings honestly.
No fame distortion. No fake energy. No performance.
Just pure observation.
So after reading all this…
Let me ask you, Nairalanders:
Do you think genuine love can truly exist without money, status, or potential…
Or are most relationships secretly built on value exchange from the beginning?
And which of the 3 relationship types do you honestly believe lasts the longest? 👀 Brilliant post. Much to consider here. So many ignorant and dismissive people on this thread hating, but they are only reacting (as you pointed out) to what doesn't sit well with their ego and self-concept. Thank you. |

You need some knowledge about how your body works and a sense to apply it. Your lymphatic system is BACKED UP and the cause is a terrible diet. I'm sure you take a lot of powdered milk, sugar and other things. When your lymphatic System is backed up, all the mucosa, toxemia and metabolic waste THROW UP through other organs besides the designated ones for elimination. Read this 10 times. Solution: Do a salt flush (evacuate your colon). Then go on a solid food fast. Stop eating. Drink only lemon juice for one week. Just do this and you will be a different person forever. |

Marriage just means she's not SUPPOSED to do that. Because it's a COMMITMENT to each other.
If your wife fuccks another man, it's because she's a WHOORE. Nothing more.
SHE was conquered. NOT you.
Staying with a woman that CHEATS on you is what makes you DEFEATED.
It's her purview to fuccck who she wants. It's your right NOT to stay with a WHOORE.
Rich and powerful men have been known to SNATCH the wives/gfs of LESSER men. But said woman will still go back to fucck the "lesser" man.

Sturgeon is only a band aid and doesn't address the root cause, just like all other pharmaceuticals. It will help manage the situation for the short term and that is all it is good for. You're probably super deficient in iron and iodine. You NEED to detox first!!! Target your thyroid gland and lymphatic system. Use antioxidants like high dose vitamin C and berberine as well as astringents. *Go on a lemon juice only fast*, three days at most. It's likely you're consuming heavy MUCOUS AND ACID producing foods and beverages. What's your diet like?? ALL THESE THINGS MENTIONED= INCREASING YOUR VOLATGE (ph level).

Health › Re: How Do I Quit This Negative Addiction Ruining My Life? by Votukpa(m): 7:11pm On Sep 20, 2024 |
EagleMenage: Hello Nairaland,
I have a serious confession to make and this has been killing me emotionally and I can’t keep it anymore.
It all started at age 14, I happen to be the only male child and seeing myself among my sisters I started developing a kind of strange affection for them which is really strange and evil. My sisters are really beautiful indeed to be honest.
I share room with my elder sister, and there was this night I woke up and realized she was on a phone call with her boyfriend and at the same time using her fingers to play with her vagina, but when I saw her she tried to get my attention to have sex with her but I refused.
Honestly the next day I didn’t inform any of my parents about this and I kept it confidential.
I thought that’s all, but afterwards, whenever am alone then I feel like having sex, I’ll become Hot to the extent that, I easily get moody after some few minutes without satisfying myself.
It went on and on until one day I couldn’t hold it anymore and I had to take my elder sister panties and wrapped it round my penis, and this is where it all started, unfortunately I had this idea from no where that I can use that as a means of satisfying myself without any girl.
From the beginning it feels good to me and honestly I was enjoying it, gradually I improved on it.
This is the journey to my addiction…..I started Masturbating with ladies pants everyday at any little opportunity I get.
I can masturbate more than 5 times in a day.
Am an introvert so this really hunt me more and more. It got to a time I feel within myself that it’s evil but I couldn’t talk to anybody about it because I was afraid even my parent couldn’t like me again so I kept it on the low.
I did everything possible to stop this addiction but all failed.
Sometimes I feel a strong energy around me, mostly when am alone and that’s the exact time I’ll start thinking about woman, and this caused me to love porn.
Honestly this hunts me amicably so I decided to have a girlfriend at age 18yrs thinking that will rather help me stop masturbating but it became worst, I even ended up being a womanizer, chasing girls everywhere.
Truth be told, my worst enemy now is Masturbation, I am 28yrs now with a woman and two handsome boys but ridiculously, I still masturbate, it’s eating me up and am getting depressed over this addiction.
Masturbation is reducing me, both physical and spiritually, I feel drained.
Everything is shutting down on me, and I have no one to talk to about this, am really scared my wife will get to know about this and right now things are getting out of hand.
Am facing a lot of trauma, my business isn’t moving anymore and I can’t stop Masturbating.
I can be having sex with my wife and still be masturbating.
This have caused me to have no limit over my sexual life, and whenever am having sex, I feel an extra energy within me that makes me sex for so long without getting tired.
It’s killing me slowly within, right now I’ve developed a waist problem and I don’t know the next damage this will cause me again.
Please everyone here, am pleading you all to help me with a solution, I need help to overcome this, I’ve confessed this to several pastors but couldn’t get any solution……
Please nairalanders, help me. Bro take it easy. All is well. You're addicted that's all. Your Neurotransmitters are all out of balance that's all. You feel bad for dumb religious reasons, that's all. If you masturbate once in 3 months, that's ok. Solution: please do this. Reset your brain 3 Days hard dry fast hard but super efficacious. Do this once for three months. So for 3 days in each of the 3 months do this-isolate yourself:no food no water, no bathing, no brushing. go dryyy. On the fourth day break the fast with only lemon water. Drink this for the whole day. Then eat papaya and watermellon. This will probably bethe hardest thing you will ever do in your life. You will become normal again. Then you will ascend to the plains of God hood. Learn to meditate 1hour per day. NO pain NO gain. For all those who doubt this. Try it, it will humble all kinds of human weaknesses out of you. |

Science/Technology › Re: Why Is There Sun In The Space And The Space Is Still Very Dark by Votukpa(m): 9:57pm On May 05, 2024 |
baretalk: Nonsense, illogical, fallacy, untrue. There are billions of stars in space, and we do see millions of stars from our position, on a clear night sky. How does your rebuttal prove my assertion to be false and illogical?? We actually do see the stars for the very reason that I put forth: Think for a second... if the stars were billions of miles away would we be able to see them? The constellations of stars are etched and hang (electromagnetically) in face of the fixed firmament, that's why you can see them and they never change. They rotate in rhythm with the sun and moon. This is the reason why you cannot see ALL the constellations from your location in Nigeria. Google the constellations and learn about them. Further, consider the star Polaris, which for as long as men can remember, has remained above at the celestial north pole, proving that the stars actually spin around the flat earth. |
Science/Technology › Re: Why Is There Sun In The Space And The Space Is Still Very Dark by Votukpa(m): 4:51pm On Apr 29, 2024 |
Mj4199: In the vast expanse of space, where darkness seems to dominate, the presence of sunlight might seem contradictory. How can there be sunlight in space, yet it appears so dark? This apparent paradox arises from the unique characteristics of space and the way light interacts with it.
Firstly, let’s delve into why space appears dark. Unlike Earth’s atmosphere, which scatters sunlight in all directions, space is mostly empty. There are very few particles—atoms, molecules, or dust—in the vast void between celestial bodies. As a result, there are minimal obstacles for light to scatter off, leading to the perception of darkness.
However, despite the darkness of space, the Sun remains a prominent source of light. The Sun emits an immense amount of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. As this light travels through the vacuum of space, it encounters little resistance and continues to propagate until it encounters an object.
One might wonder then, why doesn’t the light from the Sun illuminate all of space, eliminating the darkness? The answer lies in the vast distances between celestial bodies. Space is incomprehensibly vast, with light taking significant time to travel from one point to another. While sunlight does spread throughout space, its intensity diminishes with distance according to the inverse square law. As a result, by the time sunlight reaches our eyes—or the sensors of telescopes—the intensity is greatly reduced, contributing to the perception of darkness.
Furthermore, space is not completely devoid of matter. Though sparse, there are interstellar clouds, asteroids, comets, and other celestial objects scattered throughout the cosmos. These objects can absorb or scatter light, further contributing to the darkness of space by obstructing the path of sunlight.
Another factor to consider is the human perception of darkness. Our eyes adapt to the environment we are in, and in the absence of surrounding light sources, the contrast between the darkness of space and the brightness of celestial objects like stars and planets becomes more pronounced. Thus, even though there is sunlight in space, the overall perception remains one of darkness due to the vast distances, sparse matter, and human visual adaptation.
In conclusion, the apparent paradox of sunlight coexisting with darkness in space can be attributed to several factors, including the vast distances between celestial bodies, the sparse distribution of matter, and human perception. While sunlight does permeate space, its intensity diminishes over distance, and the absence of scattering particles leads to the perception of darkness. Understanding these dynamics enriches our appreciation of the cosmos and the interplay between light and darkness in the universe. That's because the sun is just above us and under the firmament (glass ceiling). Also, there is no space - it's actually water(s) above the firmament. |

To be successful in your marriage in the western world, a man must manage his Nigerian wife that moved to the western world, the same way he handles his adolescent child. The moment a woman gets her Permanent Residence, it is natural that she begins to see life differently, and begins to express herself differently. Some of the things she kept within her heart that she had been tolerating because of her dependence on your visa, will no longer be tolerated. She will feel like a person who has gained her freedom from your influence. It is natural.
She will definitely have a lot of misconceptions about becoming an independent person that is not attached to your visa. She will try to explore so many things she may have been told by friends. She will want to press you sometimes aggressively or silently to adopt what she perceives to be the western approach to marriage. At that point, she is just like an adolescent who has just reached puberty. She will begin to express herself differently, and YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT.
She may stop cooking for you or doing the domestic things she used to do in the home. She may begin to live almost an independent life. Her general attitude towards you may change. She definitely feels like an independent being, and will begin to challenge you even in the most common things. She may begin to make certain demands that are strange to you as per how things are done in the home. She obviously would want to practise what she perceived to be the western style of doing things, which she believes to be superior. It may even worsen the moment she finally gets her naturalisation and passport. She may believe that she no longer needs you.
As a man, you must be careful in how you manage her during that period. You must allow her to enjoy the new found freedom. Any attempt for you to go head on or try to control her excesses, results to an accident, which may include getting yourself arrested or thrown out of your home. Common sense is required, the same you would apply when managing your teenage kids. Adolescence is a phase that comes and goes, same applies to her.
You must apply extreme self control, accept the changes, and give her time to find out some of her misconceptions she had about marriage in the western world. She will gradually begin to readjust to reality over a period of time, and return to her default state.
As a man, it requires emotional intelligence, especially self control and tolerance. If you don't manage that period properly, your marriage will collapse.
You the man must ensure that you are a role model to your wife in several ways. If possible, resist the temptation of sharing bills. Ensure that you earn enough to avoid dragging who pays what bill. Try and earn enough to foot your family's bills. She will naturally ask you to allow her pay a few.
Always improve yourself to make her see you as a go-to person, and that includes education and earnings. Allow her the choice to choose what she wants to take care of in the home. Never interfere in the choice of friends she wants to make; however, subtly advise her of the dangers you perceive. Never dictate for her, it will backfire.
Above all, try to be transparent with your finances. You don't expect her to be transparent with her finances, while she doesn't have a clue about what you earn. Also ensure that you play the role of a father to your children effectively. Don't also forget that her parents and siblings carry equal weight as your parents and siblings. You must balance your attention and spend on both families, almost equally.
Allow her the freedom she desires, she will come back to make you her best friend. Control will never work...can work for a short time, but will boomerang later.

charlsecy: What is tart cherry, Votukpa? Tart cherry is a fruit. Also know as sour cherry. It is bright red and can be consumed directly. There is also sweet cherry that is darker. Tart cherry is what we want for gout. |

Caseless: I have a cousin battling this. You blend these together and drink or? Please, expatiate a little. Yes. Blend all together. Ginger is thoroughly anti inflammatory and so is tumeric. Specifically, the curcumin in tumeric is potent for this, however it is only bioavailable of you combine it with (black pepper, some fat and heat). This is why they must be blended together. Also get volatren and take two tabs per day. Most don't have access to tart cherry (apparently it's very potent against goutish pain) Step 1. Get voltaren, an non steroidal anti inflammatory. Take to 2 tabs. Step 2. Put water inside a pot and heat. Add tumeric and black pepper then stir. Add ginger then stir. Take it off the heat and let it cool a bit. Step 3. Put the mix into a blender and then add coconut oil into it. Step 4. Blend. Step 5. Bottoms up. Give it like 30mins to an hour. Great relief will come upon you.

tofolo: Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis that causes pain and swelling in your joints, usually as flares that last for a week or two, and then resolve. Gout flares often begin in your big toe or a lower limb.
As we go on am going to post pictures for we all to see. It wasn't easy, but am good now.
The main symptom of gout is a sudden attack of severe pain in one or more joints, typically your big toe. Other symptoms can include: the joint feeling hot and very tender, to the point of being unable to bear anything touching it. swelling in and around the affected joint.
Gout, we mainly get from what we eat which includes, Red meat, sugary drinks, alcohol ..... etc I woke up one cold morning and noticed I could not walk properly as my left big toe was swollen, for 2 weeks I was bedridden as the leg needed to be suspended for the pain to ease, to cut a log story short I saw a doctor got drugs and the toe healed.
Lo and behold 2 weeks later the right toe went through the same process.
below are pictures which i will just post randomly both left and right toes.
I don't know why the pics are nott loading, and lastly don't mind toe nails when you are in pains to touch the foot is something else. I can feel your pain. I go through it at least twice a year. Horribly painful. Tart cherry Tumeric + plack pepper + ginger + coconut oil + hot water blended together It's gone. |
Romance › Re: What Do Women Think When They Do This by Votukpa(m): 8:53pm On Nov 25, 2023 |
Gentlelox: Some time ago, i was in a public place and a lady sitting next to me was obviously staring at me and drawing his face out anytime I turn.
Eventually, she took her phone and started a call with a guy. Discussing over love. I had the feeling the girl was doing it because of me and that it not to drive me away but to show interest in her.
Happened again at the airport. A girl I was sitting next to asked me to get her something politely as i took permission to go get something. When I arrived, she was obviously into me. But then, she brought her phone out and started a video call with another guy. She does it in a way that will make me notice by fire by thunder. After the call, my demeanor changed and I avoided her and I could see the girl somewhat disappointed. From her looks, she was expecting another type of reaction from me.
A lady friend met me and we talked. She wanted relationship and she was into me But then I asked her if she has a boyfriend and she said yes. Then i changed the topic and she could see my interest has changed. So she said it not a serious relationship and she doesn't even know if it a relationship because she doesn't love the guy... She started telling tales. Las las i nor give am line.
These things happened alot. Maybe because they are all up to marriage age. If a girl thinks that chatting or calling another guy would make a guy interested in them, then they need to rethink. Or maybe she just doesn't like me.
What's your opinion on this. Nigerian women have as much game as 10 year old. They act like retards around the guys they actually like and end up turning them off. Here's the mindset and thought process behind the behavior those unintelligent women displayed to you: 1. I like you and I want you but I'm the prize. 2. Since I'm the prize, I won't directly approach you or present some value to attract you. 3. From the little I know about men, they love competition and conquest and will more likely value the prize that I am if they fight to get me. So I will rather try to make you compete with another idiot to win me over. Here's the problem ladies: If you like the man, think he has some value (marriage/commitment), you give indicators of interest, ok initiate banter etc then it's probably because he is the prize and not you. You need to get real. If you think he's the prize, pay the price and fight to win it. Show some value, show some interest, ask intelligent questions and look for some common ground etc. We are more likely to respond to that that than to you calling some other man to deceive us that you are taken and hence worth the chase. Women who are worth the chase are women who have a decent combination of beauty, decency and demonstrate in clear term that they stand to provide some long term value to us. Having said this, any woman who makes you chase her isn't exactly worth pursuing. If a woman likes and wants you, she will do most of the 'chasing'. Selah. To men: Most women are just too damn lazy to build real desired value into themselves and thus they will continue to behave like the women in the OP's narrative, simulating value and deceiving unassuming men. Wise up and train your eyes to see a real woman of value. Thank you OP for this valuable piece of education. |

Romance › Re: Why Are Intelligent Girls Rare? by Votukpa(m): 8:46pm On Oct 21, 2023 |
beejaei: Are women genetically not disposed to being intelligent? Why do they only have boobs and ass but no brains. I have been to Nigeria and almost ten states in the U.S. and it is all the same. It seems being intellectual is some kind of taboo among women, like if they were intellectual their vagina will be shut by divine decree. Women, what makes you guys averse to intelligence? Men, have your experiences been like mine or different? A disposition to intellectualism is a masculine trait. Women who are intellectual are usually very masculine. Masculine women are mostly unattractive to most men. |

Those born as male will never understand the pressure females pass through in this life.
Please appreciate women even though not all of them are good women, but appreciate the good women If women are aware that this degree of pressure may befall them at a certain point in their lives, why do most of them fail to get a man when they are at their prime or most desirable? When do they prioritize unimportant things and delay marriage until the pressure shows up? Most ladies today are simply unwise and stubborn. |

Emmanuelmich: Dear farmers
Is there a market for micro greens here in Nigeria.
Micro greens are types of greens that take 10 days from planting to harvest.
In the UK, Asia and USA this crop has a huge market.
But I am trying to get it started in Nigeria
Is there a market for this crop in Nigeria? You can hear a pin drop in this thread. Obviously this is a perfect business opportunity for you. Microgreens are dense in nutrients and many health conscious people will buy for sure. Good luck |
