The initial phase of hepatitis is called the acute phase. The symptoms are like a mild flu and may include: diarrhoea, fatigue, loss of appetite, mild fever, muscle or joint aches, nausea, slight abdominal pain, vomiting, weight loss. The acute phase is not usually dangerous, unless it develops into the fulminant or rapidly progressing form, which can lead to death. As the patient gets worse, these symptoms may follow:
circulation problems (only toxic/drug-induced hepatitis), dark urine, dizziness (only toxic/drug-induced hepatitis), drowsiness (only toxic/drug-
induced hepatitis), enlarged spleen (only alcoholic hepatitis), headache (only toxic/drug-induced hepatitis), hives, itchy skin, light colored feces, the feces may contain pus, yellow skin, jaundice.

myads890: Please, what is hepatitis?

It's a medical condition defined by the inflammation of the liver and characterized by the presence of inflammatory cells in the tissue of the organ (wikipedia). It's a viral infection too.
You might as well search it up to know much more about it.

It's better we all get to read this post. Sincerely, it's that advantageous.

I have received anonymous emails from couple of people on this subject, and I took my time to do some research, online and offline, before coming up with this piece.

First, to put things in perspective, hepatitis is endemic the world over, with over 400 million chronically infected persons, more than 20 million of whom are in Nigeria. With our population put at about 160 million, what that means is that 1 out of every 8 Nigerians is infected. That is how widespread it is. But the good – and equally dangerous – thing about it is that it doesn’t manifest early, and more than half of the people carrying it are not even aware.

Since medicals is compulsory before employment in virtually every organization that matters, hepatitis is one of the tests most, if not all, of the employers look out for. The hiring decisions of employers based on positive hepatitis status in a prospective employee after medicals can be grouped into 3:

1, Outright rejection: Some organizations see this as failure of medicals, and reject such candidate outright. Some tell the candidate that is the reason, some will not even get back, and that is the end of recruitment process for such person. Some organizations, like Nigerian Navy (and other forces, I think) will even put it as part of the conditions for employment from the onset, even before application. For many others, it doesn’t come up until medicals stage, after the candidate would have gone through and passed tests and interviews. Many Nigerian banks belong to this category.

2, Conditional acceptance: In the course of my research, I met someone that told me he was given the job even though his medicals showed he was hepatitis positive, but with the condition that his medical insurance coverage will not extend to that; meaning, he will be responsible for his treatment. The person works in one of the biggest Nigerian banks.

3, Unconditional acceptance: Some companies do not consider hepatitis condition a failure of medicals, so they give infected candidates job unconditionally, with the company’s insurance also covering its management.

However, there are some companies, especially SMEs, that don’t do medicals at all, or rigorous medicals, probably because they are not ready to bear the cost or because they are so unstructured, like some one-man businesses (Alhaji Mai Dogo Transport Limited, Uche & Brothers, Asaaje Consulting etc). But most structured companies, those that will pay you N100,000 and above per month, will do medicals.

Also, the nature of some jobs makes it compulsory that the worker is not hepatitis positive. Jobs like nursing, medical laboratory science and others that deal with contact with human blood and use of sharp objects cannot be done by someone that is hepatitis positive; else there is risk of transmission. So, most hospitals and labs may not employ someone that is positive.

Another implication of being hepatitis positive on employment is that such a person may not be able to get foreign employment in most countries, at least I know Qatar, UAE, Malaysia and, I think but not sure, USA, where you will not be given residency/living visa if you are hepatitis positive. So you may not be able to travel abroad for employment in these countries.

Now, a big question: is the rejection policy by some Nigerian companies not stigmatization and discrimination? I have not laid my hands on Nigerian labor laws, so I may not be able to tell from legal perspective.

Generally, from my research on this subject, I think hepatitis is a serious health challenge in Nigeria. I have stated the endemic rate of 12.5% in the opening part of this article. I think the figure is high because of the highly contagious nature of the disease – it can spread from as seemingly harmless action as contact with the sweat of an infected (remember 1 out of every 8 Nigerians is infected, and many don’t know). The virus is also said to have the ability to stay active in a place it has contact with, like toilet, for as many as 7 days! But the good thing is, the B-type, which is the most common, is vaccine-preventable. For as low as N3000, you get the vaccine, which is said to have 95% success rate (i.e once vaccinated, your chance of contracting Hepatitis B, if not positive already, is as low as 5%, even with contact with infected blood).

This vaccination has been part of the Nigeria Health Policy in the last decade I think, so children born in recognized private and public hospitals (not sure whether this is also the case in the semi-urban and rural areas) are compulsorily vaccinated and immune. Those born earlier need to voluntarily go and test themselves, and if still negative (chance is 7/, should go and start vaccine immediately. Only B is vaccine-preventable though, I learned C does not have vaccine yet, which means that with vaccine, you cannot contract B again, but you can still contract C, but it is not endemic in Nigeria. Note also, that the hepatitis I am talking about with respect to employment is hepatitis B and C. A-type is not a chronic and not tested in company medicals. In fact, most companies test only B.

Another point on hepatitis and employment, is, even in companies that reject infected candidates, if you have some rare skills or coming as a top management staff, you may be so badly needed that they will be willing to waive such.

Kobomart, how much do you sell your 12000mAh powerbanks in bulk?

Thanks man.

mayorall: No extra fee.

oshie: What is the quantity and capacity of the power bank you want to buy?

Are you aware that most power banks in china has deceptive capacities? By this, I mean these suppliers will tell you it is 20000mah when actually it is far less. Only when you bring it in you will know the actual capacity.

Considering you intend using DHL, just give KOBOMART a trial. They are well grounded experts on this biz. They have reliable power banks which they have ensured are manufactured with actual capacities. They have 12000mah @ an encouraging price. They don't just buy, they give manufacturers specifications, bring in samples and test before okaying production.

Considering u want to use DHL and you can't vouch for d actual capacity of most PB's, try KBM.

Just don't frown @ my username - since it is uncommon to these days to this thread, checkout d 1st few pages of this thread and season 1 to me please.

To every importer here, unbehalf of me, myself and I, happy new week. New ones here are lucky - cos they should learn fast from those who have had their fingers bitten by the school called xperience.

TOGETHER WE SHALL SUCCEED IN 2014

Are you insinuating that Kobomart's 12000mAh is truly 12000mAh? How do they sell the 12000mAh in bulk? Say like 30 pieces. Thanks in advance.

mayorall: 3KG.

Bro, you've imported via DHL before. Could you please do me the favor of explaining how they charge? I intend ordering for some pieces of powerbanks but i'm afraid as to using DHL. I've visited their site but then, no detailed explanation was given. You've imported some "battery-comprised" product before. Please, how do they charge? Aside the normal shipping fee I pay, will I be charged for any other thing again? Thanks in advance of your prompt response. Cheers.

Send a mail to me. Just send a mail to the address on my profile after which we can both take it from there. Kapish?

olusegunadex: are there no power bank dealers in the haus!!! help nau!!

@BashorunDon
Kindly mention for a follow back. You all deserve to be on my TL. I want you all. :-)

Konnektions146: hmmmmmm....was that list in order of what? best on top or haphazardly placed?

I could see some 70k graduate pay companies above some good paying companies.

I know Jarus knows better than this but probably wouldn't wanna discredit jobberman.

I am not saying the list is bad but a lot of job need to be done. imagine shell above Total and Mobil...Arik before Seplat..this must be a joke

Did you check the methodology employed?

Hello everyone. Follow me @BashorunDon. I follow back ASAP. :-)

ednut1: jobberman nd der fake jobs

This isn't about jobs though. LOL.

texasbreed: like I didn't see that thread b4 throwing it open....its an open discussion, how real is dat....Nlng obviously pays more than shell, same with Mobil and total, how come shell tops dat list is my question?

The methodology used in arriving at that conclusion's well-stated. Maybe you should just check it up again.

texasbreed: salary wise shell is best multinational company to work for according to jobberman....like seriously is this true....Guys with good info pls elucidate

HERE ~> http://www.jarushub.com/shell-tops-jobbermans-list-of-100-best-companies-in-nigeria/

True. However, we still need people to confirm its realness. Did Jobberman get it right or not? Go read and comment on the link pasted above.

samdson: Impressive stuff!
