When obi was shouting "hunger knows no tribe", some people said his mouth was smelling.

By the time tinubu is through with you, that common sense that you people were not born with would enter by force.

This is why they say “In every cloud there is a silver lining”.

If it takes poverty and inflation to force us to look inwards as a people instead of depending on foreigners for everything including medicine, like some lost people with no heritage, then more grease to their elbows.

What they MUST do now is standardise, brand, and package the medicine in the right way and market them effectively.

Great university courses in Traditional African Medicine should be established up to doctorate level.

I want to see university-trained DOCTORS of Traditional Nigerian Medicine.

Excellent stuff.
Don't you see the danger here?
There is about to be an explosion of fake traditional healers.
Many are going to consume fake herbal remedies.

Peter obi walked the length and breadth of this nation selling his agenda.
All the 36 states and the FCT.

The man worked so hard that his shoes started to peel off and his voice cracked.

He went to debates of all kinds begging Nigerians to vote right.
Pity your children and vote right, he said.
We cannot continue this way, he said.

But for where?
Ethnic and religious bigotry is what they prefer to vote for.

They voted for the man that just wants to dance.

Dem no dey tell person o

Anybody that wants to use his or her life to play gambling should not blame anybody for whatever fate that befalls such person.

Herbal medicines as it is in Nigeria are mostly practiced by dubious persons who know next to nothing about herbs. I'm aware that medicinal herbs exist but the truth is that what we have in Nigeria are scammers who claim to know herbs.

What some of them do is to mix some plants with orthodox drugs and sell to unsuspecting Nigerians just to enrich themselves!

Besides, even if some of them know medicinal plants, they hardly know the exact ailments such plants can cure, hence they'll claim that a particular plant can cure thousands of diseases!

Also, there is the problem of dosing! Every medicinal substance has a specific dose that the body can handle without problems, if such substances are given in high doses, they cause organ problems, especially kidney and liver failures. So many Nigerians have died untimely from kidney failure due to use of those herbal concoctions.

Before now, I in particular, has continually lamented about the nonchalant attitudes of our leaders towards developing our pharmaceutical sector. We keep churning out Pharmacists who would later migrate to other countries to help them develop their pharma sector. Why must we continue to rely on India and China to meet the needs of over 200 million Nigerians for drugs? When we have trained Pharmacists that can make these drugs if provided with the enabling environments?
Why can't we endeavor to achieve self sufficiency in drugs manufacturing such that we also supply other countries and earn forex to grow our economy. We need to be proactive and not just reactive as a nation. Covid-19 provided an opportunity for us to see and understand the need to have a thriving pharmaceutical sector but after the pandemic, we went back to slumber!

Now, the decline in value of naira against dollar has made the prices of these imported drugs to skyrocket, and instead of us to think of how to develop our pharmaceutical sector, some people are now claiming that traditional medicines would solve our needs for drugs. The same traditional medicine that could not stop people from dying in large numbers prior to the coming of orthodox drugs!

Let's pressurize our governments to pay attention towards developing our pharmaceutical sector! That should be the way forward! We have the manpower! All we need is for government to create the enabling environments by revamping our power sector, providing loan facilities for our pharmaceutical companies and cut down on taxation of these companies. Apart from growing our economy via forex earning, it will create jobs for the teeming unemployed Nigerian youths. Let's channel our energy and priorities towards growing our pharma sector and not towards some ineffective trado medicines!

A word is enough for the wise!

Hope you know the only beneficiaries of this will be nephrologists. Unfortunately very few of them are available as most have japa. I assure you most wount be able to afford their services. It will no longer be a simple issue of eg maleria. Money they cannot afford to pay now, people will be forced to cough out 100x the amount or die avoidable death.

The tradomedicine industry is unregulated and an all comers affair.

Nigerians opting for herbal substitute to the exhorbitant western medicine are putting their kidneys, livers and overall wellness on the line.

We may want to lament government's failures but it does not justify gambling with our health.
