hotdo9: The less intelligent someone is, the less likely he would be able to understand and find solutions to problems, the more likely he would seek "supernatural help" for his problems...the problem is in finding solutions, thats where we are mostly intellectually lazy. Most people would say cats and bats are "evil" simply because we dont understand their nocturnal nature. Your analogy is wrong. It has nothing to do with intelligence. It's mainly an issue of enlightment. And also most of what you are saying has to do with mind conditioning. Most of our people have been conditioned to believe they are helpless and more or less beggers. Take for example, a people whose government go begging around for loans and receiving money from international donors even though same people sit in most richest continent. Has lands with most richest soil and most arable. All these don't just happen, it takes a long time to reach that level. On average, most nigerian youths believe that the only place they can make it is outside Africa, in the same countries that take or steal their resources or obtain it by force or by crook. |

AhoadaRivers: The problem with most of you Nigerians is lack of appreciation. I have sent more than 70K since last month to over 20 people on this forum. Only one person came back here to say thank you to 'whoever' sent him money. Others just lock up, no appreciation, no thanks.
As if it is their birthright to get alerts and donations from others.

Nigerians una no dey try abeg. Don't be surprised that its only the one that came back to say thank you was genuine among them. I did the same last month in the middle of the lockdown. But I observed that it's only the one i sent a small amount of fund to that had his full name in his post. A clear indication of openness. For others I couldn't do anything as I need the full name to send fund from where I am. And after the one I sent I started seeing posts alleging that many of those requesting for funds online could be scammers. I am sure you don't expect a scammer to come back to you to say thank you. |

Family › Re: My Brother On Hard Drugs: 18 Years Of Pains And Sorrow. I Need Help! by ajl: 11:13pm On May 18, 2020 |
star4ever: I have a 42 year old brother who for over 18 years has been on hard drugs. He started this habit while in secondary school and couldn't finish tertiary education for same reason. Efforts made by the family to stop him from substance abuse and rehabilitate him at several occasions failed. Each time such effort is made, he recovers after a while but returns to the habit. Currently, he has become mentally deranged and there seems to be no solution at sight.
He has been admitted to different psychiatric hospitals on two occasions. At both times, he was treated and confirmed fit and sound to return to the society. The moment he was discharged, he quickly went back to his old ways and all the resources spent went into the drain. In one of the occasions, we were strongly advised to engage him as joblessness was one of the greatest problem causing the abuse. We got him engaged by securing a fantastic job which he also left after a week of working there. Other meaningful efforts geared towards engaging him to enable him to become occupied and start earning a living as a man also didn’t work out.
We have organised prayer sessions by powerful men of God, nothing has happened yet. I do want to sound like someone without faith. I strongly believe that our able God will make things beautiful at His time. However, the situation has gone out of control and we need to act fast.
These, amongst many, are some of the interventions already done by the family and we cannot fold our arms and watch people mock us in shame every day due to his abnormal activities in the community.
Now what he does is forcefully, take money from our aged mum, sell any family property at sight in exchange for money to buy his drugs. Beat my mum up at any slightest refusal to give him money. He has been jailed many times for committing several offences related to this habit, yet the problem persists. Maybe we have not applied the best approach?
I am calling on fellow Nairalanders to assist with solutions. I believe there are some of us here who may have experienced this problem in one way or the other, or have an advise to give to solve this lingering painful situation. Your personal or professional experience (s) may go a long way in salvaging this situation for us.
I believe a problem shared is a problem solved. See people talking about psychology or psychiatrists. Why continue to recommend solution that has failed multiple times. And you are an African. More so, your brother is not mentally deranged. Try traditional means. It may sound stupid. But out of all the solutions you listed that you have tried, that's the only one that is missing. But not any traditionalist can do this. Your brother does not have a mental problem but only an habit that has eaten deep to him. He is not himself any more and he is possibly under the control of dark entities that profits from his habits and the grief he brings to his family. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying there are people behind his travails. But his state of being as it is, is "food" for negative entities that operate unseen around us. Remember this in case you are a Christian , Ephesians 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." So, be open minded about the options available. And hopefully you have not been brainwashed about African tradition treatments. I am a PhD scientist and I know modern science or medicine does not provide solutions to every health problem. |

You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all the people all the time. Let them start giving printed result to patients. Abi is it not the same test kits that were found to show positive test results in samples from goat and pawpaw (in Tazania). Did Nigeria officials even did quality control test on those test kits? Oh, I forgot that it only require president Magifuli of Tanzania, a PhD holder, order before the QC was done. In fact he designed the QC method himself using his chemistry degree knowledge. |

All the time he was in isolation centre, why didn't he rant, kick and demand for the result of his COVID-19 tests? Why won't he rant about it. We are seeing a pattern of deception. The UK returnee locked-down in Kogi for 40 days said she was tested three times but was never shown results of the tests and they want to give her drugs to use which she refused. After 40days they still refused to release her and she was hale and hearty. Why hasn't Covid-19 kill her? Why have refused to release her. They certainly choose the wrong patient because am sure someone like that will not keep quiet or recant her story like untrustworthy Dokpesi. |

greenhulk: Covid-19 does not have a cure the last time I checked. Now whether the cases reported in Nigeria is covid-19 or malaria I do not know, but it has been proven that malaria drugs and vitamin c helps while the immune system fights it. If someone does not have an underlying health issues he is most likely to survive covid and without taking any drugs. I don't know if dokpesi was expecting to be given covid-19 drugs (which does not exist) for his ailment. Even the Madagascar drug is a malaria drugs. Chloroquine is a malaria drugs. So, why would WHO and some govt officials come out to condemn traditional (malaria) herbal remedy that people are hoping to use to fight against Covid-19? Especially Madagascar herbal cure. |

A good leader should lead by example There is a medical reason behind him not wearing a mask but they are not truthful about it. An elderly person like Buhari can collapse if he carbon dioxide build up in his body. Putting a facemask on the face can result in carbon dioxide building up in your body in case the mask is too tight or you are not able to exhale CO2 very well because of the mask. I believe they do not want to discourage Nigerians from putting on masks since people can use it as an excuse not to put on masks. Few days ago I went to a mall and I had to use a mask. I needed to take it of occassionally because I was nearly panting.

Though it's not acceptable to outrightly state that there is no Covid-19 in Nigeria. But there is some sense in what he is saying because government officials and selected hospitals are using Convid-19 to fleece the system. Look at the case of the UK based woman that has been detained for over 40days in Kogi under the pretext that she has Covid-19 even though they refused to show her results of the three tests they did on her. Dokpesi also claimed he did not see the result of his test. I also heard the story of an elderly woman who went to the hospital to remove fish bone stuck in her throat only for the doctor to insist that she must be tested for Convid-19, for which they claimed she was positive. Even in America and few other western countries the hospitals are using Covid-19 to fleece taxpayers as doctors are being forced to record cause of every death as Covid-19 because treating each Covid-19 patient will fetch the hospital extra $13,000, and if the patient is put on a ventilator, that fetch extra $39,000. There is scam all over the place. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/04/24/fact-check-medicare-hospitals-paid-more-covid-19-patients-coronavirus/3000638001/ |
