Deadlytruth:


You are lacking in brain. Those who actually complained about the first census were Southerner so how could they have complained about a census that gave them the upper hand? Go and get your facts right.
If the first census favoured the South, then why did Southerners allege rigging?
You obviously have no use for logical reasoning. In both censuses the figures allocated to the North beat those of the South combined.

Afonja sophisticated slowpoke, joeyfire really did a good work in flogging your oblong skull back to proportional shape....

U opened a stupid thread to spite the Igbo only to be sent to the cleaners.

The continued denial of high cases of malnutrition in most parts of Southern Nigeria has spanned decades.

Unfortunately, this development has robbed many children of a good start in life and may destroy their hopes for adulthood. Good Health weekly x-rays the causes and silent burden of malnutrition in children in Oyo State.

In the intensive care ward of the Oni Memorial Children’s Hospital, Oyo lies 4 months old Bode Adelaja. At a tender age, Bode is manifesting symptoms of malnutrition such as saggy buttocks, weakness of the body, and a lean body with a sunken fontanel.
According to medical experts, Bode was diagnosed with failure to thrive which has to do with malnutrition in children under the age of six months.

At presentation at the hospital, Bode weighed 2.9, a weight too low for his age.
Bilikisu, his mother who took him to the hospital, had no idea the child was malnourished until doctors at the facility referred them to the malnutrition clinic in the same hospital where the baby’s indices were taken. It turned out that he was a failure to thrive case.

Bode was born at one of the health facilities in the state. He was healthy at birth. According to the mother, a month after his delivery, she noticed that he was losing weight and was not eating well.
“At first, I thought it was a child’s thing that would go away but as the days and weeks passed, the problem continued. I decided to take him to the alagbo (herb sellers) and we were given herbs to cook.

“I gave him the herbs but there was no improvement. People advised me to get Infant formula which I did because I was not lactating. Still, his eating did not improve.”
Bode; according to the mother, was placed on herbs for two months. “He bathes with it and also drinks some. We were also given another herb to put on his head as the opening on his head was getting wider. My child almost died.”

At this point, Bode was rushed to Oni Memorial Children’s Hospital where he was treated with only breast milk.
Unfortunately, despite the importance of breastmilk in the nutrition of babies, in Oyo, exclusive breastfeeding is still at a lower level of less than 30 per cent, according to the Director-General, State Primary Healthcare Board, Dr Kadija Omolara, while the 2017 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, MICS put the rate at 49.5 per cent.
With less than 30 per cent, only 3 in 10 babies in Oyo are being breastfed exclusively.
Bode’s treatment
A Nutrition Officer, Mrs Feyemi Olawumi, described Bode’s case as similar to the malnutrition problem in the state, largely caused by the fact that many mothers in the state do not breastfeed their children well.
Olawunmi said most of the mothers do not breastfeed exclusively but do mix feeding on the pretex that they were not lactating well.
“When Bode was brought to the hospital. We discovered that his weight was too low for his age. He has a fontanel popularly called Oka in Yoruba language. The mother told us that they discovered that the baby was not growing well; they decided to put the baby on infant formula and some herbs.
“A child that is less than six months cannot be diagnosed with any of the varying degrees of malnutrition like stunting, wasting or undernutrition. At age four months, Bode, supposed to be weighing 6.3 kg and not 2.9 kg which is less than 50 per cent for the weight of a child of that age.
Out of ignorance a lot of children have died from dehydration, diarrhoea and other complications from malnutrition including sunken fontanel.
For 42-year-old mother of three, Bimpe Lawal, she could not believe that any of her children could be malnourished, but a recent experience convinced her after she almost lost her one year two weeks old child. Her only son was diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition.
“Sleep went away from my eyes. Watching my son waste away broke my heart,“ Bimpe who hail from Adeyipo, Lagelu Local government Area, Oyo State said amidst tears.
She told stories of how she tearfully watched the helpless situation she found her child.
Earlier, Bimpe was self-medicating. Sadly, all her efforts and treatments brought no relief to her child.
“My mother-in-law had brought some herbs but all to no avail. I did not know what was wrong with him but I tried my best.
“The trouble all started when my baby clocked one year and due to the nature of my job I was forced to stop breastfeeding. I started him on pap and milk but a week on, he stopped eatng.
“I changed to other cereals but he did not improve. My baby became thin and weak. He could no longer walk because even then he was learning to walk.”
“That was when I was asked to take him to the only children’s hospital in Oyo, Oni Memorial Children’s Hospital where he was treated with high-grade soy flower“
According to the Oyo State Nutrition Officer, Mrs Omolara Oladeji, malnutrition is commonplace across the 33 Local Government Areas of Oyo State due to ignorance of caregivers and mothers, promotion of infant formula etc. Oladeji who is also the Head, department, health promotion and Nutrition department, said the main cause of malnutrition in children in Oyo remains low exclusive breastfeeding, ignorance and the fact that many of the women cannot prepare a balanced meal for their children with locally available resources including poor feeding practices.
“In Oyo, many of the women claim they are not lactating well and therefore cannot do exclusive breastfeeding.”
400 cases treated
Oladeji who said the nutrition clinic was established with support from UNICEF 25 years ago, disclosed that high-grade soy is utilised in treating malnutrition free of charge at the centre.
She said a total of 400 children have been treated for malnutrition in the last year while over 50,000 children have been treated since the inception of the clinic.
Admission
“We only admit severely malnourished children but 90 per cent are managed on an outpatient basis. We have managed over 50,000 cases of malnutrition since the establishment of this centre.
“However, since the COVID outbreak, the number of children has been restricted. This year we have managed over 400 children with different degrees of malnutrition.”
Oladeji who acknowledged that malnutrition was a problem in the state described the situation as ‘worrisome.”

BKayy:

I don't care about what Ikwerre people choose to identify as but I can't help but set straight your confusion.

The only ethnic group that is a modern Identity in Nigeria is Yoruba
I don't need to go too deep in history but bring to your notice that out of all the groups related to the majority found in Western Nigeria, only in Nigeria does the group go with the name "Yoruba" which arguably is a corruption of the Hausa word "Yáriba" of not more than 200 years ago unlike Igbo that is visually in the name of the communities and settlements of the people eg "umu-Igbo" which the Ikwerres now call "rumu-Igbo" in their domain in Rivers state. Different spelling, same meaning and the community has been there for centuries.

Hausa has been known as Hausawa for centuries, but only one identity in Nigeria sometimes pass as insult and that is Yoruba. You dare not call someone related to those in SW Nigeria in Benin Republic or Togo Yoruba. To them is an insult.
Some go with the name Anago/Nago, language as Edekiri.

So my dear, Nobody is ignorant to the fact that "Yoruba" as an identity is an insult turned identity and is not up to a century in acceptance unlike Hausa or Igbo that is inscribed in both the people, their settlement and everything about them.

The guy ruining this thread is a lunatic known as Chino. He has so many handle and has been raving mad for more than a decade here on Nairaland. He attacks other Igbo states too. He is busy on YouTube with the name Owerri G attacking other igbo states making progress. Just ignore the mumu. He has so many handles. I've been here since 2008 and I know his thought process and patterns. Please, he lives on attention and most times starts by posting a provocative comment. He expects people to attack him and he wants attention so badly. Please, umu nnem, just ignore him anytime he posts a comment. By starving him of attention, he will run to another place. Daalu.

Ogbuefi2020 plz take note and always endeavour to Ignore the troll.

Emmajn1:
Yoruba and Igbos are united now...Remember when Igboho said an attack on IPOB is an attack on Oduduwa republic. Forget the nonsense Fulani on nairaland claiming to be Igbo and insulting Yoruba or Yoruba and insulting igbos. We and Yoruba people will destroy Nigeria at the right time. Youths are tired, it's only the stupid politicians and greedy business men that is standing against Biafra and Oduduwa. but don't worry, u go soon see part 2 of biafrans and Oduduwa in action.

Idiot, go and sleep u're suffering from mental break-down.

walefresh3:
agbada it made for the chiefs or elderly people among the Yorubas... It is a symbol of respect in our tradition.. that's why we call it agbada... Simply mean something that is main for elders...

We came from northern Africa... It is our cuture no body introduce it to us...

Everywhere you hear the sound of talking drum in all West Africa countries, Find out Yoruba make up part of the Country ( they might not be known as the Yoruba, they might by call Anago, Ewe, Aku or Oku but one thing it sure, they speak the same Language of Omo Karo Ojire) enjoy a song from Benin Republic where talking drum is played

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHftxPi5BP4

jneutron4000:
Every ethnic group culture is rich and unique. Nevertheless every know that the Yoruba culture is absolutely outstanding, beautiful and highly unique, the rich and uniqueness of the Yoruba culture is highly shown on how it stood tall during the colonial era and on every where her people find theirselves in, the Yoruba culture is accept and adopted. Yoruba in history of the world contributed in different aspects of world's development, in the area of clothing and fashion Yoruba contributed Adire and other known African attire, in the era of sound and music, Yoruba introduced and founded the talking drum, baata and Omele, which are used in many parts of the World. Yoruba is a race that in the history of the world also contributed to it.
