After i joined Kalmar FF my first professional club, during my medical test they discovered that I have what is called thickness of the heart which is very common among people in the west African countries.
Another discovery was that during my EKG rest test they found that my heartbeat is T-wave minus which is also not common in European countries but it is majorly common in west African countries.
My first test was in 2008 and I was able to play all my career without any problems but I had to do test every year to see how the thickness is time to time.
At first my Coach in Kalmar FF then said I could play 90min football and you can find this information on my Wikipedia page. The coach thought it's best for me to be a substitute player since he believed my heart situation would be a problem even if the doctor says otherwise.
It was a frustrating experience for me when the coach said I couldn't play for 90min. I took my heart thing very seriously and I stayed away from anything that could give me problem to play.
After two years everything changed and the coach started giving me 90min games and I felt very good.
Another incident about my heart issue also came out when I did my medical test before I signed for Red Star Belgrade and the doctor said I had heart problem and because I already knew I have thickness of the heart muscle and a T-wave minus, I wasn't scared at all.
This was also the major reason why the Agreed 2year half contract with Red Star was shortened to 1year and half and of course the money offered thinking I wouldn't be able to play well but God plan was bigger than theirs.
The medical took 3 days and I was given a heart monitor to sleep with for those days and after all research I was declared fit to play. The biggest issue I had with my heart condition was in Belarus during my medical with Dinamo Minsk. They scared me into thinking I have a problem so i can take the contract they wrote on a toilet paper.
I'm sharing this because I know some of you young players don't know about this stuff when it comes to your heart conditions and I know some people can testify to what am saying here and if you have faced the same thing like I have please sharing your experience and let other people know about this so called THICKNESS OF THE HEART AND THE T-WAVE MINUS HEART EKG RESTING TEST.
@ishaqsamaila5 Have you ever been to Iran? Have you ever sat with common Iranians and they told you the women aren't free? Iranian women are more free than most of the women in northern Nigeria. Placing trump on any pedestal for peace is satirical to say the least
@DavidHundeyin In a few decades, most Nigerian Christians would discover who created and armed most terrorist organisations around the world but by then it would be too late for them and their children but their grandchildren will be better educated on the evil regimes across the world
A coworker died yesterday morning😭.
HR knew by 9 :00 AM, but they kept us working all day. They finally told us around 4 :30 PM, then had the nerve to say, "You can head home early if you need to"—knowing we all finish at 5: 00 PM anyway.
This morning, it’s back to "business as usual." Some of my friends are literally sobbing at their desks, but they’re expected to work and be productive. No time to grieve.
It’s a cold reality. Within a week, the company will have his job posted online. Within a month, someone else will be sitting in his chair.
But his family ,his children will still talk about him every day,they will ask where is daddy , His wife will mourn him for ages ,he was the love of her life .
At work, we are just a "resource" that can be replaced in a week. At home, we are the world. Stop giving your best energy to a desk that will forget you, and giving the "leftovers" to the people who never will.
Bam Adebayo just broke the highest points record in a game for @MiamiHEAT surpassing the 61 points from LeBron James. #NBA@Bam1of1. 70 points already... let's go Eedris. Naija boy, #YorubaDemon
@Dr_Benjr@Tunde_OD Doing a thing privately doesn't make you an hypocrite. Our culture is private about sex and it's way better than the culture that openly accepts it. I still don't see why we always judge ourselves with the standards of pale skinned people 😒
The attention of concerned Nigerians has been drawn to the recent announcement by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) introducing a new $11.50 “Security Levy” on all international passengers, inbound and outbound, effective December 1, 2025. The levy, disguised under the name Advance Passenger Information System (APIS), is being presented as a security measure. In truth, it is an unjust, exploitative, and insensitive policy that must be rejected immediately by all Nigerians.
A TAX ON MOVEMENT, NOT SECURITY
Let us be clear: this is not a “security upgrade.” It is a tax on movement, a direct toll on citizens simply for travelling. Security and data systems are the responsibility of government, funded through existing taxes and aviation fees. To now impose a separate charge on individual travellers is double taxation, plain and simple. It is an insult to the millions of hardworking Nigerians already burdened by a crumbling economy, inflation, and endless levies at every turn.
This so-called “APIS levy” is another attempt to transfer the cost of government inefficiency onto the people, people who are already struggling to breathe.
NO COUNTRY CHARGES ITS CITIZENS FOR SECURITY
The Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) exists globally, in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa, and many others, but none of these nations charge passengers a separate levy to fund it. Security infrastructure is part of a nation’s duty, not a product to be sold to its citizens.
Only a handful of governments have tried similar schemes, and they were met with widespread opposition. In Tanzania, a new “passenger facilitation” fee triggered public outrage for the same reason: it punished travellers instead of protecting them. Nigeria should be learning from better examples, not copying the worst ones.
A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT
Accepting this fee sets a dangerous precedent. Today it’s $11.50 for “security.” Tomorrow, it will be $15 for “digital systems.” Next year, $20 for “climate compliance.” This creeping taxation culture must stop. Travel is not a luxury for the elite. It is a necessity for business, education, family, and survival. This levy will make travel even less accessible for ordinary Nigerians and further damage the country’s global image as an already expensive and difficult place to fly from.
THE GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY, NOT THE PEOPLE’S BURDEN
Security, data management, and border control are fundamental functions of any responsible government. Citizens should not be made to fund them directly.
If the Nigerian government can not secure its borders without billing travellers, then it must reassess its spending priorities, not reach deeper into the pockets of its citizens.
This policy is tone-deaf, regressive, and morally indefensible. It adds no visible value to the average Nigerian but guarantees more revenue for a few insiders and contractors hiding behind “technology partnerships” and "security systems."
WE SAY NO
We, the people, reject this policy outright. We call on the National Assembly, civil society, travel and aviation unions, and every concerned Nigerian to rise and demand its immediate withdrawal.
If the government insists on implementing this levy, it must be prepared for unified public resistance, both at home and abroad. Nigerians can not and will not continue to pay for the government’s failure to manage its own responsibilities.
OUR MESSAGE IS SIMPLE
Stop punishing Nigerians for your inefficiency. Stop disguising revenue grabs as security improvements. Stop taxing us for simply trying to move, live, and dream beyond survival.
Enough is enough.
@Iam_Lekinx Responses like yours are why I am scared if enough people truly reador educate themselves. If you hear that someone was underwater for more than 20 minutes without coming up for air, you would faint ooo. She is possibly a seasoned runner. She could rest for a few mins in btw too
@officialABAT Why is it that we cannon impeach such a clueless Govt?? 200 people are dead and you act like it's 200 cows? I am ashamed to belong to a great country with a clueless Govt.
@Travis_laxy@theladyjane_ So you read this story and believed it?? He was poisoned, basically lifeless with poison working through his system, but the following day, he was strong enough to make calls. NAAA. But I agree that God can't be mocked. I have a near similar story.
