I'd try and make this "Ulcer" discourse very simple.
Ulcer is an English word which means wound, injury, break in continuity.
Now let's bring this to the body. Ulcer would mean a wound. Which means you can have Ulcer anywhere.
Ulcer in the eyes, Ulcer in the mouth, Ulcer in the penis, Ulcer in the vagina, Ulcer in the Armpit, Ulcer in the Buttocks, Ulcer on the Nose... Ulcer anywhere
Now let's come down again to the current convo.
Ulcer in our digestive tract. Let's focus on Stomach for now, since that's common and in light of discourse.
An average person once they have small chest pain, they assume ulcer.
If they eat beans or fried beans or pepper- they say ulcer, they lie down with a pain- ulcer
But these symptoms are all vague, there 1000 and 1 things that can present like this too.
A Cancer can, an infection can, a growth can too, some changes in the system can present like this....and ALL OF THEM ARE NOT ULCERS BUT JUST PRESENTING LIKE ULCERS .... but people assume pain------ulcer
From what I've explained you'd agree with me that if there is a wound in your stomach there is only one way to 100% confirm. Which is to see it. No one can see the wound inside the stomach and that's why the camera called ENDOSCOPY is done to go inside to see
I usually say... YOU CAN NEVER SAY YOU HAVE AN ULCER IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE AN ENDOSCOPY.
IT CAN BE SUSPECTED. IT NEEDS TO BE CONFIRMED
Now imagine someone who has been having this pain for awhile, he has assumed it is an ulcer..imagine jt was a growth or cancer. He keeps taking drugs upon drugs and all while the cancer is growing .
One day he is so weak after vomiting blood..then later the hospital sees that so called Ulcer has been a Cancer all along. At this point , it is late.
So the take home, every pain is not ulcer, many things can present like an ulcer, from a cancer, growth, infections, and many more.
Don't self medicate, go to a hospital to get assessed and treated.
I'd be glad to take comments and questions
Do share too 😉
This is what endoscopy looks like.
This is what an ulcer ( pictorial depiction)
Breaking: OLANREWAJU FADEHAN, the current Head of Examinations at the WAEC office in Awka, Anambra State, has openly acknowledged and confessed the many issues surrounding the 2026 WAEC examinations, including some of the factors that led to mass failures among students who legitimately sat for the exams.
We will get to the root of this. Our students, who have worked hard for years, deserve justice, and we will ensure they get it.
It is a big shame that WAEC has allowed these failures to put the futures of our children at risk.
THE HAWKER IS NOW A MASTER’S DEGREE HOLDER
I grew up around Ojo Local Government and spent most of my childhood/teenage years there. I had hawked everything you can imagine in that area. I used to hawk past Lagos State University, Ojo.
Today, I have two different degrees from same University and I am super proud of what God has made out of my life.
So, yes it’s just a Master’s Degree but it is a Master’s Degree being earned by the one who use to hawk around the same school.
I’m happy to wear this gown again as a Master’s Degree holder in International Relations and Strategic Studies from the prestigious Lagos State University, Ojo.
To you readers, I am an embodiment of HOPE! No matter your situation today, keep pushing, keep your integrity intact. Work hard and pray only with faith. Just like my Brother (from another mother) @UnkleAyo do say, “just don’t die, time is your ally”.

OSUN STATE: LET THE PEOPLE CHOOSE, LET PEACE PREVAIL
As we approach the upcoming election in Osun State, I wish to draw the attention of Nigerians, our institutions, political actors, the diplomatic community, international observers, and all friends of Nigeria across the world to the solemn responsibility before us.
Osun belongs to its people. Therefore, I call on the Independent National Electoral Commission, security agencies, political parties, candidates, government institutions, civil society organisations, religious and traditional leaders, the media, and every stakeholder to act with the highest degree of neutrality, professionalism, and restraint.
The people of Osun must be allowed to vote freely, safely, and without intimidation. Their votes must be counted transparently, protected faithfully, and announced according to the genuine will of the electorate.
To those within Osun State, I appeal for peace. Do not allow politicians to turn your neighbours, friends, and communities against each other. Do not destroy your state in the name of winning an election. Nigeria is bigger than any candidate, and Osun is greater than any political party.
To those outside Osun- politicians, supporters, influencers, and financiers- I urge you to exercise restraint. Do not import violence, intimidation, or desperation into a state whose people have the constitutional right to choose their leaders peacefully.
To our security agencies, your loyalty must be to Nigeria and the Constitution, not to any political party or individual. Your duty is to protect every voter equally.
To INEC, the credibility of this election must be safeguarded from the preparatory stages to accreditation, voting, collation, and declaration. Every irregularity must be addressed seriously, and every legitimate vote must count.
And to the international community, diplomatic missions, and election observers: please monitor Osun closely. Your presence, vigilance, and principled observation can bolster confidence in our democratic process. Nigeria welcomes genuine partnerships in the protection of democracy, peace, and the rule of law.
Let us remember that democracy is not merely about who wins. Democracy is about whether the people are truly allowed to choose.
Let Osun demonstrate to Nigeria, and indeed the world, that political competition can be intense without degenerating into violence; that disagreement can exist without hatred; and that power can change hands through ballots rather than blood.
Let every vote count. Let every voter be protected. Let every legitimate result be respected. And above all, let peace reign in Osun State.
Nigeria is watching. Africa is watching. The world is watching.
Let us provide them with a democratic process worthy of the Nigerian people.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Dear Anonymous,
I spent my entire university life at ABU Zaria hitting back to back first class GPA for 6 semesters in Political Science. My very first GPA was 4.79/5.00 which was the overall best in the whole faculty of social science consisting of over 600 students. I maintained it for almost my entire university life.
Unfortunately, In the first semester of my final year, my CGPA dropped to 4.47 exactly like you, with just one semester to go (see my pinnned tweet). I needed a 5.00 GPA in the final semester including research project to achieve my dream of graduating with a first class and breaking the record in a program that no one believed first class was possible. I was stuck between giving up to avoid last minute heartbreak or try to break a longstanding record as first class in political science was impossible for over 40years and hitting 5.00 CGPA in final semester was something students used to say only God could achieve. The two final year courses were enough hell, but I also needed ‘A’ in research project which further complicated things. Hundreds have tried, Hundreds have failed. People used to mock me in the library saying “haba scholar, in the end it’s just second class upper” just like those who tried before me.
However, I remained focused and locked in with hardwork and prayers. I had to travel twice to my village, stayed for weeks without electricity just to get data for my final year project. I stayed back in school during first semester holiday while everyone else went home to their families. During the dark days of no light on campus, I used ABU streetlights to study outside. Sometimes, I entered the bush behind the hostel to sit around trees to study during exams when libraries got overcrowded (until snake killed one old woman). Those who were close to me said I was going crazy and nicknamed me “books”.
Today, I am proud to tell you that I have a record breaking first class degree from ABU which has changed my life forever. I featured in several newspapers & blogs for achieving the impossible, bagged a fully funded EU scholarship which resulted in me bagging two more first class degrees from the UK & Netherlands and currently working as the only black Analyst in my team at a silicon valley tech giant with a less than 1% global job acceptance rate.
All these dreams were possible because I didn’t give up
I didn’t listen to people
I worked hard and prayed and the almighty lifted me in his blessings.
I hope my story motivates you and others like you who are considering giving up.
And if you see this, please send me a DM I would like to know & support you personally.
Pheasant hunting involves shooting birds out of the sky. After the birds fall into the bushes, your retriever dog rushes to find the downed bird, brings it back to you, and receives a small treat in return.
I have often wondered why the dogs don't simply eat the birds instead of retrieving them for a small reward.
It's a matter of conditioning.
The dogs have been trained to give up something bigger—a fresh bird—for something smaller, a treat.
In 234, students celebrate receiving alerts about loans for their university education from elected leaders who sit on vast oil wealth. These students have been conditioned to exchange something significant for something small.
Similarly, those who accept bags of rice in place of a functional Social Security system have been conditioned to accept a small treat in return for something much larger.
Ultimately, there are those who sell their votes. Your vote is incredibly valuable, and wealthy politicians plead with you to sell it to them, which you do. You have been conditioned to take a small reward in exchange for something much more significant.
Selah.
A lot of people are scared of HIV.
They ignore Hepatitis B virus.
HEPATITIS B is 100 times more infectious than HIV
Put blood from someone with HIV on a table. HIV dies within a few minutes.
Put Hepatitis B blood, come back 7 DAYS, it's alive & can infect
HIV has no Vaccine.
Hepatitis B has A Vaccine that can protect you almost 99.9%. Easy to get.

During my work weekly connect today, a few colleagues expressed interest in visiting South Africa in November, and I immediately cautioned them against it. South Africa is dangerous for tourists. I showed them videos of South Africans killing innocent men and women, stealing their businesses, and threatening more harm on others on camera.
While in Puerto Rico last two weeks, a business lady who sat across our table at the hotel lobby for breakfast was discussing investments and trips to South Africa, and I also cautioned her to save her money before she gets robbed and killed.
I take vacations twice a year with my family in the USA and overseas, and South Africa is canceled. Anyone planning to visit this country could be killed. I’m surprised that Trevor Noah isn’t discussing it.
Go to South Africa at your own risk. They k!ll people like flies. Watch this videos. They also hate foreigners. Their people are lazy, and blame every other person for their laziness. They also steal, but the crazy part about their stealing is that, they can k!ll you afterwards. Watch these videos. https://t.co/ZOC7R4U9n7
