Politics / Re: Why Are Calabar People More Than Ijaw In by AwkaFinest: 9:39pm On Mar 25
No doubt, after the natives; Igbos(those from SE, Abia and Imo especially) Akwa Ibomites are the majority in Port Harcourt, Obio/Akpor, Oyigbo, Ikwerre, and Bonny.
They are the majority in Okrika and Ogu-Bolo.


The Ijaws have drastically reduced their birth rate and if things continue like this in years to come Igbos and Annangs/Ibibios will dominate Rivers State, especially PHC.

That's to say that many parts of Rivers State is developed. PHC today is made up of PHALGA, Obio-Akpor, Eleme, Ikwerre, Etche and Okrika LGAs.

With the rate of current development, soon Oyigbo will be incorporated fully as PHC. Not to forget that Rivers is more than x2 the size of Enugu by landmass and PHC alone is almost 70% the size of Enugu State.

Politics / Re: Army Recruitment: Northerners Arrested For Attempt To Take Lagos Slots by AwkaFinest: 9:58am On Jan 04
dickson2000:


You're very correct but the honest truth is that, Lagosians do not really fancy Military jobs. Their turnout is always very low in military job applications and screenings.

I remember when I went for my final screening for 2015 Nigerian Army SSC in Kaduna. 24 candidates were selected from every state in Nigeria except for Lagos whose candidates were only 5. The commandant said only 7 people applied from Lagos and all were successful but only 5 turned up for screening. During the screening, one person even ran away because he was afraid as the process was rigorous.

So, I think people take advantage of the fact that Lagosians do not really like the profession to claim Lagos State of origin during application.




Last time I checked the army was begging people from Rivers and Delta to apply. That these 2 states have the least applicants. Infact, besides Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers, the other 4 Niger Delta states always have the least number of applicants.
Politics / Re: Army Recruitment: Northerners Arrested For Attempt To Take Lagos Slots by AwkaFinest: 9:53am On Jan 04
Funny enough the slot for Rivers State is still wide open, even non natives can apply using Rivers, because Rivers people do not care about joining Nigeria military if it's not through NDA.

Politics / Re: Traffic Offenders In 12 Nigerian States Pay N2.1bn Fines In 9 Months, Lagos Lead by AwkaFinest: 7:32am On Nov 27, 2023
FreeStuffsNG:
It's interesting that the top 4 states are the Yoruba South West states. It could mean that there are more cars and vehicle transportation in the South West or traffic laws are better enforced in the South West more than other parts of Nigeria.

In my opinion, anyone who can afford to pay this huge fines could have saved this money and use it to improve his or her personal finances. Rising payment of fines is a sign of rising disposable income. Please drive safe and obey all the traffic laws.

As the yuletide period starts from next week, please let us not drink or get intoxicated and drive. The fines are necessary deterrent so let's comply.

Lagos State has invested a lot to enforce traffic laws yet most drivers don't obey. Before the cameras were installed, at night, people will drive right from Admiralty toll plaza to Bonny camp without stopping for once to obey the traffic lights and I keep wondering if those of us stopping are serving a punishment.

If you can't obey our Lagos state laws , including our traffic laws, please stay back in wherever you are because if you come to Lagos and break our laws, the law will take its course and no amount of blackmail that it's targeted against your tribe or non-Yoruba will work.

Please obey our Lagos state traffic laws and drive safe. God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!





And it could also be that people in the South West are lawless🤣🤣

That is my priority for now, but it will be hard to achieve given the possible financial implications. So I am just hopeful. If you know of an ENT specialized doctor, you can please refer his contacts to me so I get more information from him

Bmaster:
you said there several things that can trigger crisis,things like infection (and I recommended penicillin tab every month end)
You said dehydration (I recommended enough in take of water)
U said extreme cold(I recommend wearing of hoodie during cold seasons)
You said lack of oxygen (I told them to limit his exercises to a maximum of 30 minutes)
The only mistake I made is that i forgot to tell them to eat at least 30 minutes after taking folic and aspirin on empty stomach(I am so sorry for not telling them)
It will help them against ulcer.
But again is Aspirin and folic combination necessary?
Yes!!! It is.
You might be a doctor,buh the duo combination was also recommended to me by a doctor.
This is me talking from experience of what I know,and what I am going through.
It's not like I am talking from what I read from Google search



My only problem with your recommendation is the Aspirin. Once you've done other necessary things like preventing dehydration, infection, hypoxia, extreme temperatures, stress etc, I see no need for aspirin. Bone pain crisis aka VOC does not need regular intake of NSAID to prevent it.


Folic acid is ok, however 5mg in 24hours is enough. Any other thing I didn't comment on in your write up is ok.
Health / Re: Help! My Brother Has Sickle Cell by AwkaFinest: 11:03pm On Nov 16, 2023
Bmaster:
I said 3 tabs of folic and aspirin.
Folic is actually 5mg.
Aspirin Tab is 50 mg.
Total taken is 150+15mg=====165mg.
It's a fight bro,that's how I have been surviving.
The major function of the duo combination is to fight against cold.
All sicklers have pneumonia,and as such suffers from cold.
Their crisis are mostly triggered by cold,make enquiry.

They are not labelled "warriors" for nothing.
They fights steady


Stop capping. You are just abusing those medications.

There are several things that can trigger crisis in SCD. Things like infection, dehydration, extreme temperatures(too cold or too hot), hypoxia(lack of oxygen), stress etc can cause sickle cell crisis.

Stop abusing Aspirin and folic Acid for your own good. 5mg of Folic Acid per day is enough. Aspirin on a daily basis? even if it's low dose aspirin I see no reason for you to be taking it on a daily basis, not to talk of taking 200mg(check your last post where you mentioned taking aspirin 3 with 3 folic acid and 1 with Vitamin C) of Aspirin daily. Drug induced peptic ulcer and AKI are no joke.

fostermd:


I am.a medical.doctor who have been involved in treatment of sickle cell disorder for about 25 years.
Whilst it carries high morbidity and mortality, good education about appropriate lifestyle adaptations does help overall.

The severity varies depending on the traits: there is SS the main one and other variants such as SC,SD,etc..

There is a definitive treatment in Europe where I practice now and in America through bone marrow transplant. This completely changes the genotype to AA from SS ,since the marrow is obtained from AA.It is ,however,an expensive treatment.

Advice is to follow medical.advice and guidance and seek early treatment in case of bones crises.




Thank you. Too many ignorance on this thread. Thanks chief, you have done justice 👍👍👍

Fine and very smart,with 3 girlfriends.
Here is the secret:
Every morning before he eat,let him take 3 folic and 3 aspirin Tab together.
let him sleep with mosquito net always.
Let him take livercap forte,it will help reduce spleen diseases (2 capsules every week)
Encourage him to drink water as much as possible
Let him take penicillin tab every month end
Let him avoid masturbation,or at least reduce it to two 2 three times a week.
**Masturbation effects may not reflect on normal people,buh we the sticklers are at it's mercy,I am talking from experience!

Let him avoid cold weather by wearing hoodies during cold seasons.
Let him avoid strong exercises,(he should reduce his exercises to a maximum of 30 minutes so as not to trigger the crises.
Let him take folic and vitamin c together after dinner before going to bed.
Encourage him to drink a cup of water in the middle of the night when he woke up to ease himself (it will help to reduce the yellowish eyeballs)
There is a medicine called *hydroxyurea* he should be taking it.



4 tablets of folic acid in a day?
3 tablets of Aspirin? Dose please?
By avoiding masturbation you mean to prevent priapism?



Your recommendations are not clear, thus needs scrutiny.

If you have money, please travel out and do transplant. Don't mind ignorant Nigerians saying no cure. It's 85% successful, but risk increases with age, so the earlier the better. You also need a donor too.


Yes, bone marrow transplant has shown to be the cure for SCD.

Great advise....

Bro, I am 45 years sickle cell and married with 3 kids. Although my own is different than others. I meant that I hardly get sick and have never been to hospital or admitted. I may have just had back pain for one or two days every three or four years. That is the reason I said mine is different from others. I have read about sickle cell and it is considered for people who live their normal age to 80 to 90, etc. Don't let people advise you or your brother thinking is a death sentence. My oldest brother is 46, 3 kids as well, and hardly gets is too or goes to the hospital.




Are you sure you are SS? You know there are different types of sickle cell Anaemia eg SC, SO, S Arab, S Punjab etc. SS are more prone to crisis and will barely do well on Nigeria unless he/she is from a super rich family that's well educated about the disease.
