seems like there is a strain of malaria that is resistant to medications. I am also having back to back malaria since last year. I don tire

please if you ever find a solution , don't hesitate to share .

Yinkaolola:
I’ve been treating malaria since last year. I’m HIV negative. I need help. Test results keep saying malaria.

Did you find a solution to your malaria?

Hello, did you later find a cure to your resistant malaria?

Good day NLders

This might be little bit lengthy and full of errors but bear with me i no well

I moved to this new apartment in Ago Palace way Lagos 11months ago, on the 4th month I had the heaviest and most severe malaria and typhoid of my life that lasted for a month I was so scared I couldn't believe when the test results keep showing malaria and typhoid I had to run for HIV test, hepatitis B C test and every other fever related test all came out negative except typhoid and malaria.

After series of mediation injection pills and drip I was free from it, do u know that i started having reoccurant typhoid and malaria after two months since that day

Yes I live beside the Ago Water Canal after my building it's the Dirty water Canal but I live at the top most floor (3 storey building) the mosquitoes here ain't replelant to insecticides they always find their in after few minutes of spraying and our cooking water comes from the borehole tank which must likely not to be purified enough so I had to settle from drinking pure water to bottle water but still cooks with the borehole water

Most nights i wake up to my own bloods on the floor courtesy of mosquito bites almost everyday, I keep buying insecticides and spending lots of money for treatment, I've decided to pack out after this virus outbreak to a better place

Now my problem is I'm almost acquainted with all the possible Over-The-Counter medications.
At first I was using Emal injection for malaria and Rocephin injection for typhoid, with too many of them I can't

I had the first symptoms 9days ago I knew it was time so I took Emal injection but it wasn't working anymore as of today, I had to go run a test and it was still what I knew it gonna be same typhoid and malaria

NB: no other symptoms aside slight fever which doesn't stop me from eating or running 100M but deep down I know I'm not feeling too well, no headache, no muscle pains, no rahses, no mouth ulcer, no appetite lost, etc just mild fever that won't even stop me from collecting the AC or fan

Please what do I do next I don't know which other treatment to follow now I'm tired, my treatments always take weeks to get the right one please doctors in the house what do I do

I can't the last time I had malaria and typhoid before I packed in here, I do go 6years without swallowing any pill or malaria and typhoid symptoms

If I calculate all the drips (infusion), tablets and injections I've taken for 6months now it will amount to N150k not including hospital bed fees and series of lab test, I'm so scared right now incase there could be after effect on too many of them I've taken

Below is my test result an hour ago

cc: Lalasticlala, mynd44 please help a dying brother

Hello , I'm in your exact situation. Mine started in September as well. I have taken all sorts of medication. Even quinine drip and also injections. I even went as far as taking malarone only to still test positive for p. falciparum. Please if you have any update on what to do, I'll be very grateful.

I’m trying to change my parents interview date to July 2025 but whenever I click on the dates showing green, it doesn’t choose the date for me. How do I change the appointment please 🙏🏾

Those July dates are fake.

Hello, have you been able to schedule an appointment since your last post concerning it? i am also in the same position still unable to schedule an appointment.

Good Evening house. I tried inputting my bank deposit details on Avits portal and I was logged out immediately, I tried several times no result. I have been on this for the past 3 days. Any meaningful assistance to resolve this will be highly appreciated.

I doubt that drug is arthemether lumefantrine . Quinine will cause tinitus and later temporary hearing loss.. you're lucky it wasn't blindness because that is another of its side effects. It might be reversible but I advice to always wear ear protection while using your grinding machine as this too can cause ear loss.

please do you know the boarding point in Lagos?

There's one at ebute meta and another at agege . Depends on which one is closest to you .

That could be a boomslang . And it is venomous. Just because it's green doesn't mean it's harmless . This is the male or those brown snakes you see. Be careful

Put 4million on cardano.

icenti:


No jokes, I took it around 5pm yesterday. By 11 they don burst. Rn, e don dey dry.

Glad to know it worked . I wish you good health .

.

If you're sure the only issue is boils, use lincomycin . It should get rid of this one and others aspiring to come out .

Some boys from where ?

Change the screen .

They should give him an enema with that RPG.

Ghostrye:
most likely a quack doctor, else he would know hiv cant be transmitted through drinking water

my thought exactly . Doctor that doesn't know HIV can't be transmitted through ingestion .

C++ is relevant o. Many ooerating systems and big budget video games are written in C++.

Biological one might be your father , but he ain't your daddy. Be grateful to the one that adopted you as his own cos the fact that you're just finding out about it proves he did a decent job in making sure you do not feel like you weren't his .

If they were arrested here , you'd hear they say things like Nigerian economy pushed them . I wonder if Nigerian economy still affects them there .

RiyadhGoddess:
Was the skin peeled?
Hippos are very vulnerable under the sun. It's why they spend most of their time in water and mainly graze at night. The reason for this color of the skin is an oily secretion that acts as a natural sunscreen to protect from drying and sun burns.

Can someone please tell me how these bricklayers should be paid? Is it half now and half after the job is complete ?

Femi Kuti's song was in GTA San Andreas as well.

Go to a pharmacy and ask for anafranil. It should take the edge off your anxiety and your perfromance will be much better

people like you are who make nairaland worth visiting. Thanks for the detailed write up.

Ensure you fence your property after purchase and getting all necessary documents to avoid tresers.
I will be showing you how to fence your property and putting a gate on it, coupled with the necessary building materials that will be needed for your fence.
Our case study will be on a plot of land,
18m x36m(60 feetx120feet).
Below is the Processes and their cost;

1. Site clearing:
This is the cutting and removal of bushes and shrubs within the property. This is the first operation to be done when the beacons of the plot has been set by the land surveyor.
It is done in order to prepare the site for excavation and other site activities.
The cost depends on the size of the plot, the people performing it and the equipments to be used. The cost ranges from 30,000 naira
and above.
Total cost for this stage is 30,000 naira.

2. Excavation:
This is the process of digging the soil out where the foundation of the fence/building will sit on.
The cost depends on the size of the plot, the depth to be excavated, the equipment to be used and the people performing it.
We will calculate the cost of excavating a plot of land 18m x36m(60 x 120ft)
Depth of excavation =600mm= 0.6m
Width of excavation =675mm=0.675m (i.e 3x225mm(9inches block))
Length of the plot= 18m +18m +36m +36m= 108metres
If we are fixing gate , we will deduct 3.6m (12feet)for gate
Length of plot =108m -3.6m = 104.4m
Quantity of materials to be excavated = 104.4mx0.6m x0.675m = 43cubic metres
The rate of excavation ranges from 750naira per cubic metres to 900naira per cubic metres.
Cost of Excavation = 43cubic metres x 750 =
32,250naira.
Total cost of Excavating a plot of land 18 x36m is
32,250naira only.

3. Blinding:
Blinding is a layer of sand , granite and cement throughly mixed to provide concrete, it is placed on the ground after the excavation to provide a level surface and a resting place for the fence/foundation to sit on.
We are going to calculate the materials needed for blinding like the cement, sand and granite.
Often times concrete are mostly 1:2:4 ratio, when you see such specification, it simply means one bag of cement to four headpans of sand and eight headpans of granite.
Note that the first number represent a bag of cement which is equivalent to two headpans, hence the sand is taken as four headpans and the granite represented by 4 in the ratio is taken as eight headpans.
Going by this knowledge it is easy for us to do a calculation of materials needed for blinding a plot of land 18m x36m(60 x120ft).
To do this calculation add the sum of the ratio 1+2+4= 7.
The total length of the plot is 104.4m
Normal thickness for blinding ranges from 50mm(0.05m)-100mm(0.1m)on level ground but may vary on a sloppy land, the width of the excavation is 675mm= 0.675m
Therefore total volume of concrete required for blinding = 104.4m x0.1m x0.675m = 7.1 cubic metres
Now divide 7.1cubic metres by the sum ratio which is 7, 7.1/7= 1.01
Taking a constant, the volume of a bag of cement is 0.035 cubic metres ,
Divide 1.01/ 0.035 = 29bags of cement is needed for blinding a plot of land.
One bag of cement is 2,700 naira,
Cost of cement is 2,700 naira x 29 = 78,300 naira.
For the sand required multiply 1.01 by 2 to know the volume since the ratio is 1:2:4
Therefore volume of sand required is = 1.01x2 = 2.02 cubic metres.
If we take the volume of a tipper as 3.8cubic metres then 2.02/3.8 = 1/2trip of 5tonnes tipper of sand, if one trip of sharp sand cost 15,000 naira then 1/2trip is 7,500 naira.
For the granite use the same ratio of 1bag of cement to 4 headpans of sand to 8headpans of granite.
Granite required is , multiply 1.01 by 4 = 4.04 cubic metres , to know the volume since it is in the ratio of 1:2:4
Volume of granite required = 4.04 / 3.8 = 1.07
That is one and half trips(11/2) of granite of 5tonnes tipper.
If one trip of 5tonnes of granite cost 30,000 naira then one and half trips will cost 45,000naira.
The labour cost for blinding varies but majorly it is 800naira per bag of cement and we have 29bags of cement , labour cost is =800 x29= 23,200 naira.
Total cost for blinding is 78,300+ 7,500 + 45,000 + 23,200 = 154,000 naira only.

4. Block Laying:
Laying of blocks is the next thing to do after you must have finish placing the concrete (blinding).
Most house owners ask this question, how many blocks do I need to get my fence/building completed?
We will be calculating the number of blocks that we are going to use to fence our plot
18 x36m(60 x120ft).
Let us have these in mind;
i) The length of a block is 0.45m or 450mm or 18inches
ii) The width of thickness varies - 150mm or 6inches and 225mm or 9inches which are commonly used.
iii) Taking for a general or average purpose the blocks laid from foundation of a fence to the top is 12coaches/courses(2coaches will be buried while 10coaches will be visible)
Now with these parameters, let's calculate the number of blocks needed for a 18 x36m plot of land.
Recall our total length to be 104.4metres
Divide the total length by 0.45m(length of a block) to know the numbers of blocks needed for one coach/level/course of block.
104.4m/0.45m = 232 blocks
Therefore 232blocks is needed for one coach/level/course.
we have 12coaches of blocks for a fence , then multiply the number of blocks for each coach above by 12 = 232 x12 =2784blocks.
We will also need some blocks for the columns(pillars) , the spacing for the columns will be at 2700mm=2.7metres
We will divide the total length (104.4m)by the column spacing (2.7m)to get the number of columns
104.4/2.7 = 39columns
There are 39 columns in a plot of 18m x36m, each column will take 1 block x 12coaches =
12 blocks for one column
Number of blocks for 39columns is 39 x12 = 468blocks.
Total number of blocks needed to fence a plot = 2784 +468= 3,252blocks +325(10% waste )
= 3577 blocks
A block sells for an average of 200naira
Cost of blocks is 3577 blocks x 200= 715,400naira
Cement needed is 3577 blocks divided by 50
3577/50= 72 bags of cement @ 2,700 naira Per one = 194,400 naira
Cost of 72bags of cement is 194,400naira
For the sand required, 1 ton of sand will lay 120blocks, 3577blocks will need 30tonnes of sharp sand
1tonne of sharp sand is 3,000 naira
30 tonnes will cost = 90,000 naira only
Labour cost for laying a block is 60naira per block.
Cost of laying 3577blocks is 3577x60= 214,620naira
Total cost for block work =715,400 + 194,400 + 90,000 + 214,620= 1,214,420 naira.

5. Gate :
Get a gate to protect your property, cost of gate ranges from 100,000-1,000,000 naira only.
We also need to do the columns(two of them) that would hold the gate.
We need reinforcements, about 6lengths will do and they cost 3,000 each = 18,000 naira
We need 10nos of wood (1x12) and they cost 900 naira each= 9,000
We need 4bags of cement for the concrete of the columns = 2,700 x 4 = 10,800naira
Labour for reinforcements is 15,000 naira and labour for carpentry is 15,000naira
Labour for pouring the concrete is 3,000naira
Total cost for gate is 100,000 + 18,000 + 9,000 + 10,800 + 15,000 +15,000 + 3,000 = 170,800naira .


The Total cost for Fencing a standard plot of 18m x36m(60ft x120ft) is=Cost of Site clearing +Cost of Excavation + Cost of Blinding + Cost of Blocklaying + Cost of Gate and columns[pillars]
= 30,000 naira + 32,250naira + 154,000 naira +1,214,420 naira + 170,800naira
= 1,601,470naira .

The Total cost for Fencing a standard plot of land 18m x36m(60 x 120ft) on a dry land with 12coaches/courses is 1,601,470 naira only but can be reduced by reducing the number of coaches of blocks .

The Materials we just calculated for Fencing a plot is applicable on dry lands only but will differ when the plot is waterlogged, when the height of the fence is reduced, when the land is sloppy etc.

funny how millions base their knowledge of history and current affairs on what they read on wikipedia.

lukui:
you can edit Wikipedia if you are smart enough, there is a section there where you can edit whatever people typed, but I think you will have a name and shaa!!!!!

very accurate comment here. they do not exist in west Africa. most times I'm always grateful that they do not belong in these parts because that is one snake you don't want to mess with. and they are known to be the only snake that chase people in an attempt to deliver their infamous multiple strikes.

BeeBeeOoh:
Not only that, if this snake happens to be a mamba then Op would have been a dead person now(God forbid) because mamba is very fast in such a way that it can strike twice or thrice within a second.


Very dangerous snake, besides, we don't have mamba's in this part of Africa. Mamba's are mostly found in South Africa

Those ones and their itchy trigger fingers? chances are it won't end well for the tricycle thieves if they tried it with sars. those ones will shoot a granny for trying to reach for her glasses from her purse.

Kingpee2:
Can this start happening to our sars soon please .
