God help these cute innocent kids.

They have to be careful. Some evil people can pose as relatives & collect these kids.

When it comes to coded wickedness & brutality, women beat men hands down.

Men easily overlook things.

Women can be very petty & find it hard to forgive. Most anyway.

See the way they gossip against themselves and keep malice anyhow.

Those women that are different will have grown up with many brothers. Or predominantly have male friends growing up.

Lol.

But there are procedures for copying songs na?

Even church member protest against their leaders lately! Na so so strange strange things they happen now.


BTW it's my birthday, show some love.

HDB Sir.

RIP Sir.


He did great in Bendel as military governor: UNIBEN, Ogbe Stadium, good roads, investment in sports, agric and other capital projects.

The only minus was serving as Minister of Labour in Abacha regime.

But then Buhari served under Abacha too. In Petroleum Trust Fund.

Country people, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Can anyone confirm this reduced prices from buying food, clothes, provision, gadgets, transportation, buying fuel, paying school fees and other expenditures?

good

I read a few years ago that the youngest medical school in SW was a Nigerian youth.

Kabiyesi!!!!!!!!!

This is the ONLY Nigerian monarch that is really living the life of a King and the King he was born to be!

Others are just there to complete the numbers, sit on thrones, wait for political 'kolanuts' during elections and chair meetings with old men

Don't you think denigrating others is a bit too much?

What if others now turn on him because of your comment? All will degenerate into insults and tribal bashing.

You can appreciate your without insulting others. Some like showmanship, others like taking it cool. We are all different/

People, just like Kings do things in their own ways.

Any first class King from Nigeria who wishes to travel up and down, visit footballers, musicians or Prince Charles can conveniently do so.

We should stop hyping anything that has to do with oyinbo.

By the way I have been up close with Prince Charles & Princess Ann many times. Yet I am not even anything like a white cap chief sef.

So we are still on BVN?

So they waited until large monies were moved out before getting the MFB idea?

And they just realised 27,000 of our supper corrupt NPF staff bank with MFBs?

Wow! She must be a rocket scientist. Not.

RIP.

Nice. Very well known by now.

My only worry is why does it always take a white man appreciating our work before we begin to do same?

Look at Benin arts, Nok culture, Ife arts, Nri arts, etc.

Until oyinbo valued them, we Africans (except immediate owners/tribe) barely did. Quite sad.

basty:
When were you born? I mean your Dad? Your.Grand father will answer your question. Nigeria that was the colossus of all nations of the world in the 60s, 70s and early 80s before IBB finally destroyed Nigeria.

Fact is Nigeria began with much promise.

By mid-60s thing had began going downhill already.

No country is a giant without political stability. By 1964 there was massive political crisis, violence and such. Especially in Western Nigeria. This continued until January 15th 1966 coup. A state of emergency had been imposed in Western region much earlier. By which time Awo was already in prison.

Ironsi dispatched plane & aides to bring Pa Awo from Calabar prison on 27th July 1966. By July 29th 1966, Ironsi was killed in Ibadan. Alongside the galant Fajuyi. If not because the plane sent had a single engine that made Awo hesitant, he would have been in SW when ironsi died.
The FG government of then abused power seriously. Aiding/allowing Akintola/Fani-Kayode vote ringing in western region.

The political crisis just years after independence that encouraged ensuing coups set us back by decades in real terms.

Then the civil war, nothing good about that period.
And more coups.

The final blow came with Buhari's 1983 coup. He brought a young cadre of soldiers into politics. Those by in 1979 democracy had not had taste of politics. They became those behind IBB/Abacha: Dongoyaro, Diya, Akhigbe, Raji Rasaki, David Mark, etc, Either directly or subsequently. And wasted our chance to experiment & improve our democracy. IBB was just a typical opportunist and his mess was just a continuum.

Even though prices were moderate during Buhari's time, people did not have the cash at all. Buhari even went about using soldiers to break private warehouses full of rice, beans etc to sell to the masses. You cannot run a country like that. And he had no plan for democracy.

I knew many hardworking people without a tv set or a fridge. People just didn't have the money.

Neighbourhood kids would come sit on the floor to watch Felix Liberty's "Bobo" & Sisi Eko Ikebe Super" on TV.

There was massive job loss during Buhari's 20 months. I saw families really suffer for the first time.

Let nobody fool you.

AngelicBeing:
No, the Vice - President should continue until full recovery to the president, meanwhile, some of the glorified commissioners called Federal ministers should be sacked and replaced, they are too slow for my liking, useless politicians

You mean the angelic noisemakers that took him ages to select? While they were around him all the time. Hehehehe.

So many of them are just mere commissioner calibre? Ok.

APC govt has no credibility from the beginning. Too many strange bed-follows. 70% former PDP, and hungry APC power grabbers.

No unifying patriotic desire to better the lives of the masses, lift Nigeria up and bring development.

Ideologically (if such exists in 9ja politics), they have nothing to offer. In terms of realpolitik there is emptiness/a gaping chasm of incompetence we are seeing in their policies.

Even old fashioned political dogma has no place in 9ja politics. No established progressive & patriotic political culture to build on.

You just cannot give what you do not have.

Everything about this case remind us of a failed state.

A place a considerable group of youths grow up with the wrong values: power display, brutality, misplaced priority and inhumanity.

The Nigerian state values protocol/bureaucracy more than the life of its citizens. Even a shot armed robber deserves treatment. The Onus should only be on hospital/clinic/medical staff to inform the police right away. Never delay treatment. Which serious country country asks for police report before treating a bleeding gunshot wound?

But it appears the Nigerian state/police believes criminalising treatment of gun wound patients is the best idea. When in fact most of those who sustain such injuries are innocent victims.

Modest but good.

Run For Your Life Bible Ministries... What a name

Truth be told Pentecostal churches are the problems of modern day Christianity.

Ol' Boy.

So the hubby saw that church name & did not run with his wife?

Those Catholic with alter boys abuse cases have not exactly left Christendom smelling of roses either.

In Africa we just like to rubbish & mess up any idea from outside.

Too much hunger in the land. Physical or spiritual hunger I cannot tell which is currently worse.

Doing any business in 9ja is just not easy. How much do radio stations make from adverts?

No wonder everybody is pastoring or polliticking.

2 Baby adults, those who have real money dont make unnecessary noise

Seriously, they are modern kiddults. With too much dough to play with.

Healthcare profession is a calling. Much like clergy & law.

But I won't fool myself.

Many in these professions today are not called to do it. It is for the money. Sometimes parents pressure their kids into it.

If you safely deliver a baby & you feel no personal fulfilment, then it is not for you.
If a patient brought in a bad shape is now talking to his family & eating again yet you feel nothing, then it's not for you.

Try your real passion.

Ladies should be careful.

I have no idea what happened.

Just because a guy is handsome, has a flashy car, do not just follow him anyhow.

Let friends and family know your whereabouts and if your movements change.

Beware moving around at night & parts of town you do not know well.

If you're going to meet a guy, no to enter the address right away. First walk pass or inspect from afar. Assess people around there & their movements.

If suspicious return home.

Speedy recovery to her.

Wasting fuel flying helicopters. Instead of flying drones as over watch and having rapid deployment forces available to use the helicopters in case of banditry.

At half the cost.

Why is Nigeria cursed with morons in leadership positions

Drones?

Where dem for get better drones capable of such job?

You sef dey believe the hype.

I always say men are scum and I mean it

they are bitches.

that's why I'm now thinking of becoming a lesbian

men ain't worth it

My dear, good luck with lesbo jor.

Men are kuku scarce now.

But wait o. Considering how ladies hate themselves, compete & gossip fiercely, it would be interesting to see how lesbians fare together.

But from the little I know, the lifespan of lesbo relationships is rather short.

Maybe you will fare better in yours.

Bonne chance!

Themandator:
Papa, please I am not a doctor so I want to know if kunu and millet that you mentioned are good or bad for consumption because I no really understand your explain and as I dey read dey to na so d thing dey get more complex bec u come enter terms wey I no sabi like dame to ileum to macrocyclic ....all about want is kunu , fura ...den goo or not


Thank you

Sorry. I meant to write "damage", not dame.

No boss, I did not mean to say kunu is bad.

Just that generally, we need to have a good mix of food: carbohydrate, protein (fish, red meat, beans), vegetable of various colours, fruits, nuts, etc.

Carbohydrate mainly gives energy and excess will end up as stored fat.

Of note is that we should now eat around 10 portions of combined fruit & veg daily. It used to be 5 portions.

Eat your carrots, orange/tangerine, mango, agbalumo, garden egg, ewedu, okro, okazi, green/red paprika and others. In addition to your fura da nunu, eba/garri, yam, etc

aribisala0:
If I work for you? Don't be ridiulous ,what is more likely is that you work for me.

No need to induge yourself in fantasy.ICD 10 may not be perfect but it is the best we have.You annot make up what you like.

At any rate did you read everythin the Prof said.I do not believe you did. You are just sounding off.
He made it very clear that he was speaking from a position of limited inforation without all the facts and that yes anaemia is almost always secondary to another condition.
If you read what he said then there really is no need for this conversation

Lol.

We are not here to brag o.

"You" in this case is hypothetical.

I wonder what you are flaring up about.

I made it clear that he can only speculate from limited info available.

One thing is certain.

I will never work for you & you will never work for me or under me.

I guess the ego & pride people display depends on the culture people are used to.

In a place where I see Noble Prize winners ride bicycle to work, who am I?

aribisala0:
A lot of people want to sound off to feel important.

Anaemia is not a symptom ,yes it is a diagnosis in this case without all the details the ICD 10 WHO diagnostic code is D64.9.
A symptom is something complained about by the patient whilst anaemia is a physical fact according to predetermined parameters.
Yes anaemia should have a cause generally but this may be unknown or unknowable at the time of diagnosing and diagnostication would allow for D64.9

It is always dangerous for doctors to speak to the press because their words may be reported incompletely or out of context but Buhari is a public figure and this kind of medical speculation is not inappropriate.

The professor said among other things
There is therefore a preliminary diagnosis of anaemia meaning insufficient blood in the circulation
"it is imperative to know the possible causes of the anaemia.The question that arises in the absence of information, which is understandable, is the cause of the anaemia.
Is it possible that his anaemia is drug induced or drug related and that investigations in London revealed this? We do not know. If this is true common pain relieving drugs like Panadol may cause kidney damage and give rise to anaemia for which he received transfusions."

Now we have a lot of young Turks puffed up with half knowledge thinking they know it all.
I am sure many of them have never heard of ICD-10.

In summary Buhari has Anaemia and IT IS A DIAGNOSIS . There is no law that says you must have ONLY ONE diagnosis.
Yes any sensible doctor would want to know of other diagnoses that are causing anaemia but the truth is this may be unknown or unknowable for some tine.In Buhari's case it is probably known. We now know one of his diagnoses and would like to know more. It is notewothy that he likely is a sickle cell trail carrier having lost a child to SS anaemia and that may be relevant in view of his rambling disclosure of "self medication"
The context is important : an interview with the press which are always likely to edit things and report their own version of things but I think the Prof was balanced,knowlegable and objective and much of the criticism I see here is egotistic and self serving

While ICD-10 classification is good, it is not necessarily perfect. If you work under me and refer to anaemia as your diagnosis and do nothing further, I'd be furious indeed.

Sure the prof can only speculate based on limited information available.

Still any idiot can diagnose anaemia.

Yes, correcting it to remove lethargy & strain on organs would be desirable. But if after 50 days we are still talking of anaemia without any probable cause, that would be pretty mediocre to me.

Sure, there are idiopathic (of unknown cause) cases. But many would still fall under anaemia of chronic disease/malnutrition (Vit B12, folate, etc). They tend to be more in seniors and very deprived populations.

There are some super quality health institutions who use in-house system in treating patients because they feel superior to even the so called international standards. A notable one is a world standard top Psych Hospital.

In my previous post, I said it is not a diagnosis "strictly" speaking. But it depends on the standards & expectations of people.

GogetterMD:
No wonder Bubu had to travel abroad for treatment. I'm ashamed this man calls himself a professor of internal medicine. Anaemia is seldom a diagnosis on its own, and is usually secondary to something.
Even a medical student can make that mumu inference of his that he's suffering from anaemia since he had blood transfusion

Actually the prof is said to be London-based. which surprises me even more. I have never heard of him & never seen any of his publications.

Should it surprise anyone that a 74 years old man has anaemia? Maybe a man more used to drinking milk, kunu/corn/millet based food and not actually cow meat?

Also, nobody mentions that Bubu's first daughter unfortunately died of sickle cell complications after childbirth.

Meaning Bubu would be a carrier. While it might not be significant in youth, stresses, malnutrition (includes eating the wrong food, one-sided food, not just hunger) old age, diseases like GI ulcers & other chronic diseases can make it become relevant.

Anaemia is merely a sign, not a diagnosis strictly speaking.

Anaemia of chronic disease is not uncommon in seniors over 70.

So the rumoured Crohn's disease can very well cause anaemia. Especially if the ileal or ileocolic type. Damage to the ileum impairs absorption of Vitamin B12, needed for Red blood cells. Gradual leakage of blood in the affected GI tract will also cause anaemia.

Anaemia from gradual blood loss causing iron deficiency would be microcytic anaemia & from Vit B12 deficiency would be the macrocytic type. Easy to differentiate under the microscope.

Some people need help sha.
