Interesting!

ok

A small car will do, if its suitable for journeys of about 300-400 kilometre within Nigeria.

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on this platform.

Please I would like to buy a tokunbo car in excellent condition or a Naija used car from a reliable dealer here. The car should be running perfectly with a mileage less than 100,000KM, automatic, AC, and consume less fuel.

I like Toyota, but I really do not have any preference. I am open to other very good brands. My budget is 1 million to 1.2 million naira max.

Kindly comment below or email at adewumi91@gmail.com

Thank you.

Please, what kind of good cars can one get for no more than 1m naira? Please email at damilolaadebayo0@gmail.com

So, how can it be cured?

DonLo:
It was a lovely Wednesday morning as I get prepared for the day’s clinic. I wasn’t expecting much, today is going to be like every other day. It is almost always an infection, if not malaria it will be one of those bacteria infections with typhoid being the most common. But on few occasions, some patients present with chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus or hypertension.

The clinic was normal until a pregnant man came in. A pregnant man! Other patients in the waiting room wondered. A middle aged man with a huge abdominal distention was wheeled into the hospital. He was in an obvious distress, he looked as if he is seconds away from death. So jaundiced and pale that he could barely stand. I swung into action with the hope of helping him but my enthusiasm was soon shattered. There’s little I could do on knowing the diagnosis. He has liver cancer from chronic hepatitis B infection.

The most touching part of this tragic story was how he got the hepatitis B infection. Before going neck deep into his story let’s form a background by knowing some basic information about hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is a viral infection just like HIV but 100 times more infectious. WHO 2014 facts sheets estimates that 2 billion people have been infected with hepatitis B virus worldwide. 90% of those with the infection don’t know they have it and only 1 in 100 gets treated. It is transmitted by sharing of sharps, unsafe sexual intercourse, exchange of body fluids, needle pricks and also from mother to child. Most people with this infection go unnoticed as the immune system have the ability to contain it but when this fail, an infected individual becomes a chronic carrier of the virus. And in the long run, the chronic carriers develop liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. Chronic hepatitis infection is the commonest cause of liver cancer in sub Saharan Africa.

So how did my patient got his? Exactly 42 years ago, his family of 7 felt the need to empower themselves against metaphysical powers. His parent felt they needed to fortify the children and protect them from their numerous imaginary enemies. This made them visit an herbalist whose method of doing this was through incisions. He incised the five children twenty one different times, lacerating different parts of their body while he rubbed a black substance on each incision. He used the same blade for all the five children. He ended up infecting all the children with hepatitis B virus in the process. Three of the children later became a chronic carriers as evidenced by being positive to hepatitis B surface antigen. None of the children knew until one of them developed liver cancer. I referred him to a gastroenterologist but little could they do to help him. He died 2 months after.

Important lessons from this story are:
About 20 million Nigerians are chronic carriers with most being unaware.
Everyone should go for a screening test, it is not expensive.
One should avoid high risk behavior like sharing of sharps and having unprotected sexual intercourse.
Parent with the infection should take adequate measures to prevent its transmission to their unborn child.
All new babies must be vaccinated against the infections
If you have this infection it is not the end of the road, it can be cured.

Let me leave you with the recommendation of Prof. Olusegun Ojo, the former President, Society for Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Nigeria and the current President of Africa and Middle East Association of Gastroenterogy (AMAGE), “At the same time, Nigerians should take steps to determine their Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatatis C virus statuses by getting screened in hospitals and medical laboratories. If negative, they should seek to be vaccinated and, if positive they should ask to see hepatologists, specialist physicians who are knowledgeable and conversant with further testing and treatment.”

An important question I ask myself is, should one blame the parent or excuse them for the good intention that turned sour?

This article was written to commemorate the world hepatitis day, July 28 and in remembrance of a fellow nairalander, DJDOLA who died from chronic liver disease 2 years back. May your soul and that of my patient rest in peace.

Under the law, some ex-public office holders (including former presidents) are allowed to hold their diplomatic passport for life. The statement applies only to those not allowed by law to hold the passport for life.

For those who insist that it is impossible for billions to be missing in Nigeria, here is the tip of the iceberg. Mind you, this is a video from March, 2014.

Kindly tell me about the military regime of Olusegun Obasanjo if you seem so knowledgeable about military regimes. What experience did he have prior to his re-emergence in 1999? Let's have a issue based debate, not some sentimental comments.

babyosisi:


Buhari has never ruled Nigeria if not in a military regime
You folks promote him as a good leader based on his military rule at the same time exonerate his ills as a military leader
You can't have it both ways
The only basis to judge him is to look at what he had done in the past
We have no other records to rely on do we?
He hasn't been a democratic leader so no one knows what type of leader he will be
In other words he has no experience in ruling a democracy
Therefore he is not fit to rule
We are not prepared to allow a novice handle a place as complex as Nigeria
He should start by vying for house of reps or as a commissioner in his home state and then for governorship in katsina so we can assess him He has no experience with democracy.

SeverusSnape:
Buhari is a despot. Simple!

What is a military regime supposed to be, a democracy? think. Was Obasanjo not a former military leader? Was his regime a democracy?
When he came back to power in 1999, did he dare to rule Nigeria the same way he did from 1977 to 1979? Let's reason and stop this backlash against the military records of General Buhari.

kunlesehan:
Hmmm..."when the arrow of god is no longer at ease, things fall apart".

When the 'man of the people' is nolonger at ease, 'things fall apart'.

This is the correct version

Today is also Nnamdi Azikiwe's post humous birthday

Very sad

President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday finally declared interest in contesting the 2015 presidential election.

He told Peoples Democratic Party leaders at the Presidential Villa, Abuja that he would procure nomination form of the party before the deadline.

He has also set up a ________________ saddled with the responsibility of coming up with a formal programme for his declaration.

The committee is headed by a former Minister of Defence, Dr. Haliru Bello.

The declaration would be held between November 7 and 15. Source

Presidential declaration committee... With allocation? Parapoism...

redcliff: I think these days corps members are doing this for competition. Everybody wants to build something not considering building standards. This building looks very substandard.

Competition ko!!!!!! Even if it is, its a productive and healthy one. That building might mean more than the White House to the community dwellers.

madamoringo: Waste of time and resources! How is this even your job, and it would make sense if all the resources and budgets were already being brought to bear in Nigeria and accounted for! This is a building that will collapse in the next few years, cannot expand and is really a wasted project! The countries Nigeria wants to aspire to has passed this level of face me I face you mushroom structures!

You acted like you live in a glass house. A library by a corps member, matter the structure, is worth a standing ovation. the truth is, this might mean more than the White House to the community dwellers.

Every hero, including ojukwu, has got a tragic flaw which sometimes lead to death.

Obafemi Awolowo and Nnamdi Azikiwe have been accused of corruption too. History is there to back up this claim.

i SAW THIS ONLINE AND IM SURE IT WILL BENEFIT IGNORANT NIGERIANS

Having done a lot of air travel, I've observed just about every way that people can be impolite to others. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that air travel is more accessible these days, and we haven't, as a group, agreed to a standard etiquette. In addition, being in such close quarters, we have a natural tendency to want to ignore the existence of others. So, here's a set of rules I've put together that, in my opinion, would make air travel a far more pleasant experience for everyone. I realize that many of you will see these rules as being little more than common sense. But, perhaps, there's something in here that you haven't thought of.

Booking your flight...

Book electronically. There's not much reason these days to book a flight with a paper ticket. Electronic ticketing is far more efficient, and it keeps the lines at the check-in counter short. Unless you have a very compelling need, book your flight electronically.
Be nice to the reservations agent. If you book your flight by calling the airline, remember that there's a human being on the other end of the phone. This particular human being is also the one who's going to decide whether you get the flight you want, and where you're going to sit. So, be nice. It'll make both of your days go better.

Before your flight...

Minimize your odor. You're about to sit in a tube with recycled air and 150 other people. They're probably not interested in smelling your perfume/cologne for the next few hours. Besides, odds are one of the passengers are allergic to it.
Check in over the Internet, if your airline supports it. It'll save you time at the airport.
Leave early. The Transportation Safety Administration recommends that you arrive two hours in advance of a domestic flight, and three hours before an international departure. I remember a security officer at JFK who detained someone who was complaining about how slowly the line was moving, and that he was going to miss his flight. The detainment included a complete security check, and a (rather verbose) lecture about how it's not the security guard's problem if you were irresponsible and got to the airport late. Remember, if you present yourself as someone who needs to get through security faster than everyone else, then it makes you look suspicious. These days, that's not a Good Thing.

Obey traffic laws. Since September 11, there's been a far greater police and security presence at the airports. When the speed limit sign says 25, they mean it. They'll pull you over for speeding, and impound your car if they have even a hint that there's a bomb in it. Don't tailgate someone just because they're obeying the law. Again, it's nobody else's problem if you're running late, nor is it anyone's fault, other than yours.

Don't try to cut the lines. Most airlines have a special line for people who are flying first class. If you're flying coach, then that line is not for you. Same goes for security. If you're running late, it's your fault. Don't inconvenience others because you can't get somewhere on time.
Be nice to the ticket and gate agents. If you're talking to a ticket or gate agent, it's probably because you want them to do something for you. Remember the adage that you'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar. These people take a lot of crap from people who don't care enough to read web pages like this, that they're always more responsive to a friendly face. Also, remember... If a flight is full, and you're flying standby, a kind word may mean the difference between getting on the plane and sitting in the last remaining first class seat, versus spending the night in a two-star motel, only to get up at 4am to catch a 6:30 flight the next morning.

Prepare your infant for travel. There are all kinds of things you can do to improve the odds that your child will sleep through the flight. Remember, you're at ground zero for any screaming that commences during takeoff and landing.
Don't get drunk at the bar. It's illegal for the airline to allow an inebriated person to board a plane. If you get drunk, you may not get on your flight.


Boarding the airplane...

"Companion Animal" is a legal designation. The fact of the matter is that the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits the airline from asking you the nature of your companion animal's work, but it's also illegal to claim an animal as a companion animal, unless it's been legally certified as such. Companion animals are subject to special training and rules which minimize their risk to other passengers. If your pet isn't certified as a companion animal, then they pose a serious risk to the passengers and flight crew.

Preboarding is only for people who need it. If you have mobility problems, are travelling with a companion animal, are a minor travelling alone, or are travelling with infants who are under two years of age, then preboarding is a privilege granted to people like you. If you don't have problems getting around, and you're not travelling with infants, then don't preboard. It's rude. Also, if you're in a group of more than three people, and only one of them is an infant, then send two people on with the infant. There's really no reason for a family of six to all preboard just because they've got one small child, unless, of course, there's only one responsible person in the party.

Wait patiently for your turn to board. When the gate agent announces preboarding for your flight, that's the time to start gathering your belongings, but stay put until your row is called. Generally speaking, boarding occurs from the rear of the plane. If you're on a 737, sitting in row 12, then you're going to be among the last people to board. Deal with it. There's no reason for you to take up space in the boarding area. It just makes it hard for others to board.

Say thank you to the gate agent when they take your boarding pass. It'll make their day a little nicer.
Board quickly. Once you're on the plane, find your row, and get in there. If you're tall enough, duck into your row, and put your bag into the overhead storage area from the aisle seat. It'll allow people behind you to pass.

Be conscious that there may be other people sitting in your row. This generally applies to people sitting in the aisle seat. If your flight is pretty full, then chances are, there will be someone who's going to have to crawl across you to get to their seat. Make eye contact with people as they approach you, to see if you'll be needing to move when they get to your row. Leave your seatbelt unfastened in anticipation of having to get up to let others in.

Help people with their bags. Again, this applies mainly to people sitting on the aisle. Offer to take the person's carry-on bag and put it under their seat while they put their other bag in the overhead compartment. It'll help them to get seated twice as fast.
Be sympathetic to the person in the middle seat. If there's a person in the middle seat who's travelling alone, be conscious of the fact that this person has almost no personal space, especially if they're larger or taller than the average person. Don't hog the shared armrest, and, for crying out loud, endeavor to contain yourself (that's arms, legs, and girth) between your own armrests.

If you're seated next to a baby, deal with it. It's a fact of life: babies travel. If you're seated next to one, contain your reaction. The last thing the child's parents need is your opinion. Remember, they paid for tickets, too.
Buy a seat for your infant. You're probably going to need the extra space for a carseat, diaper bag, and what-not, so, unless it's a really short flight, don't just assume that you'll be keeping the child in your lap the whole time.
In flight...

Sit quietly during the safety speech. Sure, we've all heard it a thousand times, and it's treated as a formality, but it's a legal requirement, and you don't know if the person around you is new to flying. Besides, speaking when someone else is speaking is rude. Also, mocking the flight attendants' actions during the safety speech stopped being funny about 20 years ago.
Don't use the 'S' word. We stopped calling them stewards and stewardesses back in the 1970's. Do you know why? A steward is basically a waiter. Serving you peanuts is only a secondary responsibility to these people. They're flight attendants. Refer to them as such.
Do what the flight attendants tell you to do. The flight attendants act as agents of the captain, who is ultimately responsible for the safety of everyone onboard. If you're told that you have to return to your seat, you can be charged with a felony if you disregard their instructions. Yes, a felony. If you should feel the need to strike one of these individuals, you will be met by the police and the FAA at your destination, charged with at least one felony, and you will probably spend a long time in jail. Remember the Three Strikes law? Keep that in mind before you mouth off.
Don't get drunk. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, nobody wants to be around you when you're drunk, especially the stranger (or strangers) sitting next to you. Second, after awhile, the flight attendants will cut you off. If you're hammered, you may do or say something you'll regret. Besides, it's illegal to be drunk in public. An airplane counts.
Recline the seat carefully. I've known a lot of people who have had their laptop screens crushed by someone reclining their seat too quickly for them to react. If you think of it, glance behind you, and see if the person is using a laptop. If they are, let them know that you're going to recline, so they have time to move their laptops out of the way.

Landing and deplaning...

Keep your seatbelt fastened until the light goes off. First of all, there's nothing that's going to happen in the tenth of a second that it takes to unfasten your seatbelt once you're at the gate. Also, if you unfasten your seatbelt before the light goes off, you're compromising the safety of the passengers around you, and committing a felony by disobeying an order from the flight crew. Is it worth a $5,000 fine to stand up half a second sooner? Do you really know whether or not the person across the aisle from you is an FAA inspector? And, yes, they'll cite you for that.
Wait your turn. Look, it's a simple fact: you're not getting off the plane before the people in front of you. So, if you're seated in the back of the plane, stay seated until the line starts moving.
Say thank you to the flight attendants and the pilots. They're saying goodbye to you, so thank them for getting you to your destination safely.


At baggage claim...

Stand back. Remember those 150 people who were on the plane with you? Well, at least half of them are in baggage claim with you (that number increases with the length of the flight). They all want their bags, and when their bags come up, they're going to want to get to them. So, stand back three feet, so that when someone's bag comes up, they have room to retrieve it from the carousel without swinging it into your legs. Standing with your knees against the carousel isn't going to make your bags come out any quicker. Also, here's a tip: on international flights, first class and business class bags generally come out first. If you flew coach on an international flight, let the first class and business class passengers get their bags first. They paid a lot of money for the privilege.
Be nice to the baggage agent. If the airline has lost your bags, remember: it's not the fault of the person to whom you're talking. Remember, too, that there are two people interested in retrieving your bags. You don't want to piss off one of them.
Generally...

Follow the rules, be courteous, and remember that there are other people on the plane with you. They're experiencing the same thing as you, so why make it less than pleasant?
