Is it that you are genetically born stupid or you chose stupidity as your destiny when coming to this earth.

Can you imagine so she shouldn't take pics of her kids cos in your mind they are cute kids?

There's nothing wrong with her kids. They are not ugly nor blind .

People like you will kill your child who's born with disability. Wait till you start giving birth before you understand life.

Shallow mentality

webincomeplus:
Good day, my friend.

I'm writing this out of pure concern about your health and well-being. You might not know me, and we might not have met before now. But that's far less important than the message I have for you right now.

As a medical doctor, I've seen a lot.

Loads of cases of poorly managed hypertension that eventually resulted in avoidable sad ends. Sad ends like sudden death, kidney failure, and permanent paralysis or disability.

And each time I see one, it really saddens me.

Having hypertension isn't a taboo, and it's not something anyone should be ashamed of. In fact, far more Nigerians than you can ever imagine have it.

But there are two common problems: First, many people who have high blood pressure don't know they have it. And second, those who have it and aware of that handle it with levity and manage it poorly. The consequences of falling within either category are the same -- sad and regrettable, yet avoidable

To help you better understand my concerns, I'll tell you a few short stories. Real life stories, I mean.

And here's the first:

A man in his late 50s (let's call him Mr. A) was once rushed into the emergency unit of a popular Nigerian hospital, unconscious. He was said to have suddenly slumped an hour earlier while standing in the verandah of his house to catch some fresh breeze.

On further questioning, it was revealed that this man has been treating hypertension. He was first diagnosed about 10 years earlier and placed on the right drugs. Since then, he's been taking his drugs regularly, and he's been absolutely fine...

Until the previous week when a "concerned friend" came visiting Mr. A. This friend saw him while taking his drugs and asked what the drugs were meant for. After being told that they were drugs for hypertension, this friend asked when he started taking them. On hearing that Mr. A has been on the drugs for about 10 years, this friend expressed shock.

Mr. A's friend blamed him for his "ignorance", and for allowing doctors to continuously rip him off. He then recommended a potent herbal concoction that would cure Mr. A permanently within 3 days. He even promised to help Mr. A get the concoction. He fulfilled that promise the following day and gave Mr A instructions on how to use the "one-time hypertension buster".

Right from the day Mr. A received the concoction, he stopped taking his anti-hypertensive drugs. He took the concoction for three days, as instructed by his friend, and hoped that he's been permanently cured.

Fast forward to the following week. He was in the emergency ward. When his blood pressure was first checked on admission, it was hitting the roof.
At the time the doctors deemed Mr A fit to be discharged, his blood pressure had been put under control. But unfortunately, he could no longer move his right arm and legs. And only a miracle would see those limbs regain full life again.

End of first story.

Now to my second story:

Mr B (let's call him that) was my neighbour. On one Sunday, he left for his farm with his first son. After working on his farm for about 20 minutes, he dropped his cutlass, stood up, and clutched his forehead. He complained of a terrible headache. Within less a minute, he slumped. His son called for help, and he was rushed to the hospital.

On admission, Mr. B's blood pressure was said to be 230/120 (if you know how dangerous that is). But before much could be done to salvage him, he died. He was just in his mid 40s. Sadly, he never knew he had high blood pressure -- because he never for once bothered to check.

End of story.

My third story is about another neighbor of mine (let's call her Mrs C.), a woman in her early 60s. After taking her lunch on that sad day, she started complaining of headache and dizziness. And shortly after, she slumped. I was called upon, and I checked her BP. It was dangerously high. I instructed that she be rushed to the hospital immediately.

I later figured that she was very much aware that she had hypertension. But she didn't bother to do anything about it because she erroneously thought that it's something minor that would resolve on its own. She died after spending 8 days in the hospital. Throughout the period of her admission, she never regained consciousness.

End of story.

In summary, Mr. A developed stroke and became paralyzed on the right side of his body, Mr. B bled into his brain and died almost immediately, and Mrs. C also developed stroke that rendered her partly disabled.

Aside these ones that happened before my own eyes or close to me, I've heard lots of other similar cases from colleagues.

I once heard of the case of a woman with hypertension who didn't do anything about it because she felt "God was in control". In the end, she died of kidney failure -- another common complication of hypertension.

I also heard of the case of a man who eventually went completely blind due to poorly managed hypertension. And you know what? When he was first told that he had hypertension, years before he eventually went blind, he "rebuked it".

All these stories have the same denominator -- poorly managed hypertension.

My friend, please don't feel threatened by the stories. They are only meant to open your eyes to the realities that come with high blood pressure -- when effective measures aren't taken about it.

Now, let me tell you some important basics about this silent killer called hypertension.

* Hypertension is when your blood pressure is constantly higher than 140/90 (let me not bore you with what these figures represent).

* It is very common in Nigeria. Some studies have it that 40 to 45 percent of Nigerians are hypertensive.

* Hypertension is of two types: Essential hypertension (which is not caused by any known disease condition already existing in the body) and secondary hypertension (which is caused by an underlying disease, condition, or drug).

* Majority of people with hypertension have essential hypertension, and that's why the general term "hypertension" is often used as to imply essential hypertension. Much fewer people have secondary hypertension caused by established disease conditions.

* Secondary hypertension resolves after the underlying cause has been effectively treated or controlled. Essential hypertension, on the other hand, has no known permanent cure, but can be effectively controlled with lifestyle modifications and medications.

[NOTE: Wherever I've used the word "hypertension" in this write-up, I mean essential hypertension, which is what majority of Nigerians with hypertension have.]

* Once again, hypertension has no medically proven one-time cure. So, if that's what you've been looking for, then please stop bothering yourself.

* The cause of hypertension is unknown. But it has been proven to be linked with genetic makeup. In other words, the tendency to have hypertension runs in families, just like the tendency to be fat or slim and the tendency to be tall or short. Other factors that determine a a person's chances of having hypertension include obesity, alcohol intake, stress, sodium intake, and age.

* Most people with hypertension feel no symptoms at all. And that's what makes it particularly dangerous -- especially here in Nigeria, where we don't go to the hospital until we're in serious discomfort.

* But in some lucky people, hypertension shows some warning signs such as headache, inability to get sound sleep, sweating attacks, or feeling of heavy pounding of the heart (palpitations).

* When hypertension is not properly controlled, it could result in terrible outcomes such as permanent disability or paralysis (stroke), blindness, kidney failure, heart failure, and sudden death.

* To reduce your chances of developing hypertension (if you already have the genetic tendency) or your chances of making it worse (if you're already aware that you have it), here are some measures you should adopt:

>>Do all you can to lose weight if you're overweight
>>Do all you can to avoid gaining weight if your weight is okay
>>Reduce your salt intake as well as your consumption of fatty foods
>>Stop smoking (if you're doing that)
>>Stop taking alcohol (if you're doing that)
>>Increase your consumption of fruits, vegetables, and oily fish

Now, your next step should be to check your blood pressure -- especially if you're above 40 years of age (that's when the risk becomes significantly higher).
If your blood pressure is found to be low, then you're fine. But you should always check every 3 months or whenever you feel something's wrong in your body.

But if your blood pressure is high, first be thankful for being aware of it. Then visit the nearest reputable hospital for adequate treatment. Don't dismiss or rebuke it. Don't ask your neighbour or friend who has hypertension what drugs they're using (different drugs work for different people with hypertension). And don't go searching the web for so-called natural remedies that do nothing! Go straight to the hospital to see a doctor -- not a nurse, and not a pharmacist!

Once again, remember that hypertension has no medically-proven one-time cure. So, don't go about looking for that, and turning your body into an experiment lab in the process. Not all experiments end up well, my friend.

Again, if you have hypertension, go to the hospital. If you comply with whatever treatments and advice you're given, you'd be able to keep your blood pressure at consistently safe levels. And you'd be able to live healthily without suffering any of the terrible consequences of poorly managed hypertension.

With all of the above, I'm sure you've learned some important things about hypertension, the silent killer.

I know our country itself is presently hypertensive, and we all have so many things to bother about. But even at that, we all need to take good care of our healths to avoid regrettable, avoidable consequences that can badly affect us, our loved ones, our businesses and careers, and everything else attached to us.

Yours,

Dr. AA Toriola.

Thanks Doc Toriola.


How about a lady of 27years who has had High BP at age 19 but recently stopped since over a year now.

Pls Is it safe to say She's forever cured of hypertension?
Thanks

How much is it?

omochelsea004:
Never! God forbid, saggy boobs is one of the greatest turn off for me, girl wey never feed pikin wey boobs don sag finish, watin go come remain to feed my pikin with & even after feeding them, how the useless thing go come be? My conclusion is that any lady with saggy boobs is a real time prostitute irrespective of the way she go about it, either collecting money for sex, or giving it free of charge... ur boobs can not just go down like that without engaging in some stuffs that could lead it... for example promiscuity & abortion

Pls change your mentality. Some girls naturally have flat boobs. It depends on the gene.

While some strong runs babes have standing boobs. Not everything is about sex and abortion as you claim.


Ask your female friends around if you can't, Google is your friend

samysmoothfresh:
well you guessed wrong cos i'm already close to finding one without those "turn offs" above

True but remember that very soon the turn offs will start to show


She wil give birth someday and the stretch mark will make a gallant entrance. Her body will start to get a new shape.

Instead of you to love your partner's inward attributes ; your love is based on outward appearance. Nobody knows tomorrow.

You might marry a miss world kinda girl today God forbids accident happens will you divorce her because of her predicament?

Pls change your mentality and also remember that you ain't perfect also. No one is and can never be perfect.

nice move by them....but the paint looks brighter than their career in comedy

Pretending to be savage won't heal that hole in your heart�.

How bright is your own life?

Lesson: Never look down on anyone.

At 26 years she's got herself a man even when people thought she might never get married due to her disability.

Some slay Queens are still single at the age of 30 sef (Not in anyway to insult anybody)

God's way isn't man's way truly.

CaptainG00D:
All of replying are equally as daft as him or even dafter.,

Thats nwamaikpe wana be or even nwamikpe with another moniker.

Hey. You can pass your message without you insulting me.The fact that I corrected him doesn't make me daft

If you do know him very well....I don't.

What do you expect? Even in the national team. Igbo players have always represented Nigeria better than their Yoruba counterpart since the 90's.

Must you bring tribalism into everything little things?.

Statements like this brings hate. Later, you will abuse buhari and the leaders when youths like you already have this backward mindset


Why can't we all be each other's pillar of support. ?

How

Really dumb bìtch
The dumb whọre thinks it's about having a car and a house. Ọ́dẹ́
You have all that but have lost your dignity.
No sane parents will be proud of you
No sane woman will allow her son marry a dumb gold digger whọre like you.

Foolish girl.

You sound bitter. Pls are you related to Collins?

So what if she isn't a virgin. Are you a virgin? If yes? It still doesn't make you better than her.

And pls which gold did she dig? When she fell for Miracle did she knew he was going to eventually become the winner?.

Nigerians are hypocrite. Two people had sex. You crowned the guy the winner and hate the girl. Like seriously?

safarigirl:
you people should stop dragging God into everything.

Not every 'blessing' is from God, in case some of you are unaware. Remember, the devil always gives with one hand, but he will eventually collect what some falsely assume is God's blessings, with the other

And anybody who is concerned by what 'haters' say, must be concerned because there is some truth to it

So because she now has a car,a house, started her business and also became a brand ambassador of a company it means these achievements were given to her by the Devil ba?

Just because it's Nina you suddenly feel God doesn't bless anymore.

But if it were to be you that got a turnaround let's say within a year. You will give testimony that God is a Miraculous God ba?


What you don't know is that God doesn't think like we humans do. He uses the things of the foolish to confuse the wise.

And yes she needs to address her haters, we all have had to clear someone's wrong perception about us one way or the other.

The only difference btw you &Nina is that she needs to address a large audience. And that what she did.

ChiefAzubuike1:
You are very shamless. 2.1 and you're here celebrating like you won a lottery. When I was your age I graduated with a first class. Simply by my hardwork and might and i did not jump.up and down shouting about. Just thank God for your fathers money if not....

.


Why do poverty stricken and frustrated people have diarrhoea of the mouth?

Is she cause of your failure as a first class student?

Pls let the girl be. Why involve her father's money. It's pretty obvious you are jealous and pouring out ur frustration on her.

Heal your heart dear.

[quote author=safarigirl post=69185504]She had none of those before Big Brother, the platform gave her these things. Imagine what smarter people would do with the platform

Nina, it is too early to tell us what you have that was dashed


What you said up here is wrong. BBN wasn't the one that started her Empire business for her. The idea is hers, the platform only gave her the publicity.

What will smarter people do with the platform o? The girl is growing. She won't become a millionaire immediately. Ts going to take time.


And yes whether dash or not. The car now belongs to her.
At least she isn't dumb to start a business.

safarigirl:
It does not take a genius to have a car, a house and a business. Any basic mind with the right connections and money will have all that.

She had none of those before Big Brother, the platform gave her these things. Imagine what smarter people would do with the same platform.

Meanwhile, many others had more than these at a point in their lives. Sustainability is the best way to know a great mind.

Nina, it is too early to tell us what you have that was dashed to you, to be sincere. Give it a few years, the race is not to the swift.

She's not boasting she's only addressing her haters.

Telling them that the person they call dumb isn't seen as Dumb in the eyes of God. And then she listed her achievements to prove them wrong that she might not be smart as perceived by them but God's grace never left her.

mokaflex:
Did she include the sex Chanel she gave us for free viewing?

Judge her if you haven't had sex before.

We watched hers on TV, God sees yours too.

And so what if she had sex? Nigerians are Hypocrite.

Two people has sex. You crowned the guy the winner and hate the girl. Nonsense
