Nigerians have been urged to go for periodic screening, especially for colon cancer, which is said to be a huge burden on the country, as it is common among people above 40. .

The President, Society for Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Nigeria President, Prof Musa Borodo, gave this warning at a press briefing commemorating the 10th Scientific Conference and Annual General Meeting of the association in Ado Ekiti. .

Borodo warned that diseases such as colorectal cancer, liver cancer, helicobacter pyloris and other infections that occur in the gastrointestinal tract, are usually not easy to detect when looking out for signs and symptoms. .

And when the symptoms are obvious they are often too late to treat. According to him, about 10 percent of people in Nigeria are suffering from Hepatitis B – a viral infection – which he warned could lead to cancer, if not properly treated. .

“This (Hepatitis B) is something that can be prevented, if you don’t treat it, it could become cancer. So, it is a huge problem.” Borodo said it was chosen to create awareness on early detection of cancer, prevention and cure.

Borodo lamented that two cases of cancer at end stage are reported daily in the treatment centre. He advised people to take natural foods, avoid refined sugar, eat well, exercise regularly, drink clean water, visit hospitals for routine check up and stay away from smoking to avoid cancer. .

Stating some of the cause of cancer, the Chairman, Local Organising Committee for the conference, Dr. Deji Ajayi, cautioned against taking burnt boli (plantain), burnt suya and refined drinks as they could cause cancer.

What nonsense in general.

This is nothing new, still won't stop us!

My favourites

Very soon they will say we should not drink water!

What!!!
So a natural food is now a cause of cancer? These people are just promoting and pushing us towards imperialism. So what should we eat? Indomie with MSG? Saccharine? Drinking Coca-Cola and beer instead of palm wine.
To me the simple rule is "too much of everything/anything is bad"

I dn retire from buying suya since the rumours of humans being used as suya

The man is right !

A lot of Nigerians are sick because the local authorities don't have any plans to secure a social security system that will enable all Nigerians to visit the hospital without paying a dime .

With the actual minimum wage,70% of the masses can't afford constant medical checkup not to talk of treatment of the aforementioned diseases

WHERE IS OUR PRESIDENT
