I keep wondering when will Nigeria change for the better. I am a student of UNN and I tell you that electricity is now a farce. I go as far as charging my phone off camp. E go Better

Nigeria is a country richly blessed with human and natural resources. A country full of raw talents and resources waiting to be harnessed. A country that has the largest reserve of fuel and also the largest exporter of fuel in Africa according to wikipedia but due to bad leadership, she is still lagging behind in terms of development and proper impact in the lives of her citizens when compared to her peers.

Fuel scarcity lingered for more than one week and the government was trading blames with the oil marketers. What do you expect if two elephants fight, it is the grasses that suffer the repercussion.
The citizens was deprived of electricity. Where I live, for the past six weeks put together, I have not seen electricity for 24hours that is in 1028hours that make up six month, I have not seen electric power supply in my home for 24hours leaving me to stay 1024hours in darkness.
The government together with private investors that invested in the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria has failed us. There is no electric power supply and the alternative which the common man make use of is out of his reach.
The use of petroleum products as fuel have long been used by Nigerians to power their homes since they could not rely on the government for that essential provision but few days back, fuel was relatively scarce to come by and if seen, the price was exorbitant.
With the attendant fuel scarcity, the implication was that Nigerians were in for a big problem and the negative implication on their health will be appalling if the government together with the oil marketers cannot solve this problem.
The health of Nigerians matter a lot and the following was the effect of that fuel scarcity episode on their health.

1. Cancer and Respiratory Diseases:
With the increasing cost and scarcity of fuel, Nigerians had no other option but to resort to the use of firewood and charcoal which is very harmful to their health. According to Environment Protection Agency 45.5kg of firewood generate 4300times more than 30 cigarettes, substances which are carcinogenic such as dioxin, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The harmful smoke which emanate from the use of charcoal and firewood help in damaging the lungs and cause respiratory diseases. The government has preached a lot against the usage of charcoal and firewood but she has left the citizens without any choice

2. Malnutrition:
During the fuel crises, food prices shot up due to the increased cost of transporting the food from where it is produced to where it is needed and as a result of that, common man who do not have the means to purchase the food which has increased in price will go hungry and if he goes hungry definitely his children will also go hungry and these hunger strike continues thereby breeding a mass of hungry people with weak body defense mechanism just waiting for diseases to strike.

3. Increased Death:
During the fuel crisis, some banks decided to cut down in their operation hour and that of their ATM. In emergency situations in the hospital, the doctor normally request for some money deposit before the patient will be attended to. How then will the money be gotten if the situation revolves when the bank has closed for the day and also services of their ATM? Patients will die in hordes waiting for the depositor to deposit money with the doctor, the depositor will be heart-stricken because of the closure of the bank during mid-day and the intermittent failure of the ATM to disburse money, the banks will be making loses and not profit while waiting for the government to stabilize the distribution and price of fuel, while the government will be there begging oil marketers to supply fuel to the populace. What an Irony!

4. Increased Pressure on Health Professionals:
The health professionals in Nigeria; the demi-gods who put everything at risk in order for their patients to be alive and healthy but due to the fuel scarcity, the risk taken by them will be multiplied an hundred fold. Imagine a doctor carrying out a surgical operation with no electricity due to the failure of the government to provide electricity and fuel. Sometimes they resort to the use of torchlight. The untold hardship the doctor together and the patients are going through at that moment, the prayers of the relatives who know fully well that the hospital equipment will not be functioning due to fuel scarcity, the cries of the children who know that since the hospital is not lighted that it is a bad omen.
The function of the government is to make life bearable for the citizens but did the outgoing government do that? The answer is NO.
We the citizens groaned during the fuel scarcity and you promised to light our homes during the election period. Is this how you intend lighting our homes since you are leaving office.
We the citizens plead with the incoming administration not to let the likes of the oil marketers to destroy this our beautiful country.
Happy Democracy Day.

Blogging is not for the feeble minded. It is not a get rich quick scheme. It requires Courage to begin when you already know there are thousand and one people in that niche. It requires patience before you can get a handful of visitors. It requires commitment to continue updating your post with qualitative articles even if you are running out of ideas and lastly, it requires perseverance in order for you to be successful. Goodluck to your blogging lifestyle and here is a link to my blog www.africanshealth.com

Mine is www.africanshealth.com it is a new blog but watch the trend because it is going to shake Naija

One of the most sensible suggestion ever given by the so~called Jagaban. I will ignore the messenger and focus on the message

Why should a Nigerian property be nationalized in the same Nigeria. Is there no legal right called Right to acquire legal properties anywhere in Nigeria. There properties were nationalized without any compensation. It is just like telling the road side mechanic; you dont have customers so hand over your business to the government without any compensation then Go and Die

If this story is true, then what happens to all these corrupt officials. I cant wait for GMB to take over and prosecute them.
SAI BABA

Cigarette smoking is a major stain in the fabrics of family. It endangers one’s health, one’s family and one’s society at large. It should never be seen as an option of last resort but rather seen as a necessary evil which must be avoided by all means. Cigarette smoking is affiliated to all manner of diseases ranging from cancer to heart diseases. Remember whatever you put into your body determines the output from your body; internally and externally.
Emeka, a university graduate with a high paying job in Lagos loves flirting with young women. His flirting made him get closer to young women from different parts of Lagos.
During one of his escapades, he impregnated Tiwa an undergraduate and a cultist who he was later forced to settle down with by both his Relatives and that of Tiwa’s.
Emeka who still thought that he will enjoy intimate relationship with his newly found wife was shocked to the spine to discover that his wife still flirt four years after their wedding.
On so many occasions, he confronted her but to his dismay, his wife was unrepentant but a day arose when she thought about her immoral activities and the repercussion on her and her family. She asked Emeka for forgiveness but was given a condition of being examined by a doctor. After the examination, she was pronounced innocent by the doctor and forgiven by her husband.
Ten years after their marital vow, they had six children; four boys and two girls. The family was fulfilled in that they had the resources to take care of their children
The going was good until their first son Emeka fondly called Junior got admission to the university through dubious means and toed the path of his parents long forgotten.
Junior was a flirt and became a cultist during his first year in the University in that during his third year, his name was a shame among Braniacs and Religious alike.
Junior committed all manner of atrocities; he killed, he raped, and he maimed the defenceless people in the society until the long arm of the law caught up with him and he was made to face the full wrath of the law.
Unknowingly to the parents, Junior had influenced his younger siblings with his smoking attitude when home on holidays and was never caught by his parents in the act due to their tight schedule.
On hearing the detention of his beloved son by the police, the father was heartbroken. He resorted to all means in order to enable the release of his son but it all proved abortive.
Emeka the father was introduce to cigarette smoking by Juwon who was a so-called friend back in their flirting days in order to be free from both his family problems. He smoke packets of cigarette everyday and his children especially the boys were not left out in the smoking spree encouraged by their father which they perpetuated secretly.
His daughters never smoked but they sometimes inhale the harmful substances emanating from mostly their father’s cigarette and sometimes their brothers’.
Tiwa who was an ex-smoker during her undergraduate days when she was a cultist but stopped due to the pressure from her husband and his relatives few months after their wedding tried to discourage her husband from smoking. She suspected that her boys were also smokers and confronted them but they denied it vehemenntly
Thirty years after their marital vow, the marriage turned so sour that the stench emanating from it could even chase houseflies away. Emeka was diagnosed of blood cancer, he battled it with his money and resources but his willpower failed him therefore he kissed the dust. Emeka Junior was tried in a court of law and sentenced to death while the second son Obafemi was struck with coronary heart disease.
Their last son and their two daughters sensing the downturn of events in their family decided to live an upright life.
Their last son, Chidubem and their two daughters Nifemi and Chinenye though diagnosed of cigarette smoking related diseases survived due to their willpower and the encouragement and coaching they received from their mother.
Tiwa a wonderful wife and a mother of six was made both a widow and a mother of three dead children and three sick children all thanks to cigarette smoking.
Tiwa understood that if she does not take care of the remaining three children, two things are involved; it is either ‘She becomes a childless mother and die both a widow and a childless woman or she becomes a woman whose children are in comatose’.
She decided to be a source of encouragement to her children amidst their challenges. Since she was an ex-smoker, she knew the procedures involved in quitting cigarette smoking and being their mother, she could become their confidant.
A bright day with a ray of hope presented itself to Tiwa to talk to her children concerning their unhealthy smoking activities which she took advantage of. Tiwa called her children to her room and told them the story of how she stopped smoking cigarette.
Tiwa was born to the family of the Adegbite’s, a very rich and influential family. She grew up to be loved and respected by all because of her family’s name. She was a lady who loves to be seen hanging with the happening people in the society in that when she gained admission to the university, she was easily spotted due to her lifestyle.
She associated with the happening babes on campus and was easily lured into cultism under the pretense that she will on top of the world. She was naïve and only thought that cultism will make her both ‘Miss Popular and Miss Big Girl’ without an attendant repercussion.
She was forced to cultivate the habit of smoking in order to ‘Belong’ and was very happy with herself when she could smoke packets of cigarette in a day. Little did she know that every packet of cigarette she smokes brings her closer to the graveyard.
When I got married to your father, the pressure to quit smoking was so enormous that it could squeeze water out of a tree. Both friends and family members alike pressurized me to quit cigarette smoking and your father who is a man of understanding took me by the hand throughout the quitting process because he knew it will not be easy for me to quit because I was already an addict.
Your father encouraged me so much that I am indebted to me. He took me to the doctor where I underwent remedial programs designed to rehabilitate and make me a normal person again.
While undergoing the remedial programs, there were some times that I will think of quitting the remedial programs because of the difficulty associated with quitting but seeing the people whom am going to put smiles on their faces if I eventually quit made me continue with the programs.
Within a month, I was able to have full control of myself in that I was no longer a slave to nicotine and its related product and the total revitalization of my body began taking place. I became very healthy, vibrant and young within two years of quitting and far be from it for me returning to unhealthy smoking attitude.
As at today, I am the only surviving member of that cult. I can recall the grave health danger the other cult members passed through before their death. All thanks to your father, my husband who made me quit smoking.
Here I am your mother, I have lost my husband and three children due to cigarette smoking but I do not think that I have failed as a mother since I still have three living children but it all depend on you.
Will you open your heart to me so that I will help in sharing your pains and solving your problems?
Five years later, the three children were grateful to their mother for the encouragement and support she rendered during their quitting process.
You too can quit cigarette smoking if you are only willing to open your heart and follow advice.
Cigarette smoking kills; It is not worth it. Quit Now or Never.
Your name might not be mentioned in that story but if you are smoker, there is no other better opportunity to stop than today because cigarette smoking endangers one’s health, one’s family and one’s society at large. Help a friend who is a smoker by sharing this message with him/her.
