I just survived something very dangerous.
Few days ago, my eyes started hurting so much because of too much exposure to screen light. Then I had to visit a pharmacy to get an eye supplement.
When I got to the pharmacy, I saw this so called pharmacist who dressed well enough to convince anyone that she was a professional.
I told her I needed an eye supplement and she brought one, but I already had a recommendation before going to the pharmacy, so I told her the specific one I needed.
When she checked, she could only find just a single card of it.
I told her it was okay, that maybe I would start with the single card first and buy more later.
She said okay, but I should wait for prescription.
She brought out a pen, wrote the prescription and even spent some minutes lecturing me about how I was supposed to take it.
Everything looked normal.
Now let me tell you how dangerous the prescription was.
The drug she gave me contained Vitamin A 25,000 IU per capsule.
For an adult, the upper daily limit for this type of Vitamin A is around 10,000 IU per day, except where a doctor gives a higher dose for a particular medical reason and monitors the person properly.
But this lady’s prescription was:
“Take it twice a day.”
That means I would be taking 50,000 IU every single day from that drug alone.
It did not stop there.
She picked up the first eye supplement she had brought earlier which also contains Vitamin A, 10,000 IU and said I should also take that one with it.
So imagine this.
One drug already contains 25,000 IU, and she told me to take it twice daily. That is 50,000 IU per day already.
Then she added another supplement that also contained Vitamin A 10,000 IU and told me to take both together.
That means I will be taking total of 70,000 IU of vitamin A daily 😩
Meanwhile, the upper daily limit for an adult is around 10,000 IU.
I had never bought this kind of drug before, so I had no idea what I was about entering.
I got home and took the drug as prescribed.
That was when I remembered to send the pictures to ChatGPT for confirmation as usual.
ChatGPT nearly fainted after I explained everything.
The 25,000 IU itself is already a high dose and should not just be taken carelessly, especially not twice every day without proper medical supervision.
And adding another Vitamin A, 10,000 IU supplement to it made the whole thing even more worrying…. Meaning that I had taken 35,000 already and another 35,000 was still waiting according to the so called pharmacist’s prescription.
Within a few minutes, my throat started feeling blocked.
I was finding it difficult to breathe and I started coughing too.
A friend was with me, but didn’t even notice what I was passing through….I old explained what happened, but didn’t say much about my condition.
I don’t know how to explain what happened to me that night.
I had a very tough time.
I became so tired that I started feeling sleepy, yet I couldn’t sleep properly.
I passed through hell.
Even till now, I’m still dealing with it and I will be going for a medical checkup to know the condition of my health before I think of what I’m going to do next.
You see, when I talk about these villains gradually taking over the medical field, people attack me and say I don’t know what I’m saying.
But experiences like this are the reason I keep talking.
Someone can dress well, sit behind a pharmacy counter, speak confidently and still give you something that can put your life in danger.
That is the scary part.
We are talking about human lives.
A mistake in some professions can cost you money.
But a mistake in the medical field can cost someone their life.
They are killing us.

I like how this case is going. 😂
@MTNNG and @AirtelNigeria thought It was me this time, that they could play hide and seek with and get away with it. 😂
Last month, Airtel kept disturbing me through WhatsApp and SMS, disturbing me to buy their so called Router Unlimited Data bundle.
The messages became so frequent that I finally gave in and purchased the ₦30,000 plan.
That was the end of the story.
I never heard anything meaningful about the data again because it simply never worked. I tried using the router repeatedly, but wasn’t working.
I called their customer care to complain, and instead of helping me, the lady who attended to me got upset and shouted at me.
Even before this incident, I had called several times to complain about how they have been stealing my data. Each time, they apologized, but the stealing continued.
When this latest issue happened, I called multiple times again. They kept apologizing without fixing anything until the last call, when the customer care representative got upset and shouted at me.
I simply held myself back and ended the call.
As for MTN Nigeria, I gave up on them a long time ago. I still have their SIM card, but I only use it for banking alerts and nothing else.
Nigeria is messed up, and many of these big companies know exactly how to take advantage of Nigerians. They believe that after a few complaints, people will get tired, make peace with the unfair treatment, and move on while they continue enriching themselves.
This is even the funny part of the whole thing that nobody is talking about. If you have data already and buy another data bundle, when the previous one want to finish, it will take with it the new data bundle and you will end up purchasing a new bundle.
I hope justice prevails this time.

So, while I was at the supermarket buying snacks this evening, I saw these two young lovers, a guy and his babe, shopping together.
I believe the shopping must have been for Girlfriend’s Day 😂
When it was time to pay, their bill came to ₦22,300. The guy brought out his card and paid.
As they were leaving, I overheard the girlfriend saying:
“Babe, you’ve spent a lot of money already. Please, I don’t want anything else. Let’s go home… these ones are already enough.”
Come and see how the boy was swelling 😂
His shoulders were up.
Awwnnn… big man 😂
I was envying them though 😂
Went to this gaming house sometime ago. I took my children there to play games, and when we got there, something happened that left the whole house buzzing the whole day.
A guy brought his babe to the gaming house to play the 9D VR Simulator, which is one of those games that scares people the most…
I was carefully watching while she climbed the VR Motion Simulator Chair, and the boyfriend took a stand just beside her.
Immediately the game started, the girl started shouting and then jumped and hit her head on the floor. Fortunately for the girl, she hit the VR headset on the floor instead, and unfortunately for the guy, the VR headset broke into pieces.
His eyes first blurred 😂
In my mind, I knew there was a very big war.
When the manager came, he asked that the guy pay for the VR headset, which is over N600k.
I looked down and saw how the guy’s legs suddenly started shaking and hot sweat took over my guy.
With a faint voice, he replied, “Boss, I only have 120k in my account oo, and that’s all I have.”
Chai. I adjusted my chair.
The manager got mad and started shouting that he must pay, and if not, he would seize their phones.
When the scene became too disturbing, I stood up and met the manager. I asked him to calm down… he continued shouting, I shouted my own…
“Don’t talk while I’m talking. Listen.”
I was on my ritualist black hooded kaftan, so I was able to scare him 😂
Then I had to remind him that he didn’t put the belt meant for the game, which he was supposed to lock around the girl’s waist before even putting the VR headset on her.
So, it was his own fault.
I told him that he should be asking the guy to contribute to the replacement, not forcing him to buy a new one.
It was the manager who caused the situation, and even if you take the guy to court, believe me, I will follow you to the court to defend him.
The manager looked at my face, and I could see how suddenly his strength disappeared.
Then he asked how I thought it could be done now…
I told him to talk to the guy and see if he and his girlfriend could afford half of the money, then they should reach an agreement on how to pay.
He agreed, and then I left them to go and find my own children before they break their own 😂
Please ehhh, listen so you know why I’m telling this story.
Before you carry your woman go out, always make sure you have at least 1m Naira in your expenses account.
For you to have a girlfriend, that means you have grown…
If not, just sit your ass in the house with your babe, focus on food and make yourselves happy.
If possible, both of you should always take evening walks and then go back to the house…
That’s how me and my babe do our own, because I don’t want to sweat in an Air Conditioned room ooo.
I just want to tell new lovers so you always have it in mind.
Thankio 😏

Wealth doesn’t start from money… money is just a manifestation of wealth.
Real wealth is not about how much cash you have or the numbers displayed on your account balance.
Real wealth is not about how many cars you drive or the houses you own.
Real wealth is beyond the show off.
Take your time to build yourself.
Ignore the noise, the pressure and the fake oppression.
Take your time to build yourself, your character and your assets… that’s the real wealth.
Money is only one of the outputs of wealth, and sometimes, it is even the least important one.
I know I’m going to be crucified for this statement, but it was never written to be understood by everyone.
Meet 1000 Nigerians and ask them to mention 2 cars owned by Elon Musk, 98% of them cannot possibly mention any.
Then meet 1m Nigerians and ask them to mention all the cars owned by Cubana Chief Priest, even the old women in the village can easily tell all the cars.
Now you see the difference?
Real wealth doesn’t need a microphone to announce your presence, it announces itself even in a darkest room.
And that’s the kind of wealth my kind of person is having sleepless night to get… not to buy Lexus and G-wagon.
In all, live free, besides, in this part of the world… people worship such cheap wealth.

Most times, what you need is not more travels. Not a new environment. Not new friends or a new dream.
You just need to settle down and build with what’s available.
Some people keep pursuing opportunities while ignoring the kind of growth they truly need.
At times, you don’t need more ideas.
You just need to be disciplined enough to sit your ass and solve the puzzle of the ones already in front of you.
The table of life is always there with a chess board. Not knowing the rules is not an excuse.
