Several antiviral medicines— acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir —are available to treat shingles and shorten the length and severity of the illness. These medicines are most effective if you start taking them as soon as possible after the rash appears.

Thanks appreciate.

Good day Nairalanders. I started experiencing what I could call rib pains on my right rib cage last Friday GMT +1. Considering my Job I assumed I had fractured my ribs somehow without knowing, but the pain persisted till Monday that was when I started observing this rashes in clusters along my rib cage. I later found out from a Medical examiner on board that it is shingles caused by a dormant variant of chicken pox. He also said there was no cure, just to manage the symptoms till it dissapears. He gave me an Antifungal/ corticosteroid cream to apply, one other drug and paracetamol to take. Note this is because there is a shortage of Medical supplies. The rash keeps increasing and the pain is getting worst. I have attached a photo of my condition as of this morning, pardon the image quality its from an outdated computer camera. Please Guys has anyone experienced this before? How do I handle the pain as in what pain relief drug should I use for the mean time as I am planning on Seeking Medical help in Equatorial Guinea where we'll be ashore in 72 hours.

The Ukraine crisis entered a new state of intensity over the weekend, as the U.S. warned that movement by Russian troops — now numbering well over 100,000 along the Ukrainian border — and unspecified intelligence has led Washington to believe Moscow is on the brink of an invasion.

“We are in the window. And an invasion could begin — a major military action could begin — by Russia, in Ukraine, any day now,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday on CNN.

But it’s not just Russian troop movements that are setting off alarm bells. A large naval buildup in the Black and Mediterranean seas has created another threat to Ukraine near Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula that Russia invaded and annexed in 2014.

“This is an unprecedented Russian naval presence,” Andrii Klymenko of Ukraine’s Institute of Black Sea Strategic Studies told Yahoo News via a translator, adding that 12 landing ships had appeared in the Black Sea on Friday. Such a concentration, he said, hasn’t been seen since the Cold War ended three decades ago.

“We haven’t seen a movement like this in recent history,” retired U.S. Adm. James Foggo, who commanded European NATO naval forces until last year, similarly told Politico.

According to Black Sea News, “On Saturday, Black Sea exercises started with more than 30 Russian military ships,” including submarines and cruisers. The drills are also using aviation and land troops in maneuvers, according to the website. The maneuvers, which officially began Feb. 13 and are scheduled to continue through Feb. 22, “will launch missile and bomb strikes” against sea, air and coastal targets, according to the TVzvezda.ru site.

In its notification last week of the upcoming exercises in the Black Sea, a body of water that is about the size of the Northeastern U.S., the Russian government sent out a map showing “no-go zones,” shocking Mykhailo Samus, director of New Geopolitics Research Network, a think tank based in Kyiv.

“On the map, they’re closing down nearly half of the Black Sea,” he told Yahoo News. “It's crazy.” While countries normally close off certain zones during military exercises, he said, “normally it’s not half the sea.”


Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry said the Russian naval operation amounted to a blockade of the country, which relies on commercial sea vessels for over half of its exports. “The maneuvers make navigation” in both the Black and Azov seas “virtually impossible,” the Ukrainian government said.

Previous thinking held that Russia was unlikely to strike before the Feb. 20 end of the Beijing Olympics to avoid antagonizing the Chinese government. But the U.S. announced at the end of last week that its view of the crisis had shifted and it is now bracing for an attack to come any day.

The U.S. evacuated its embassy in Kyiv this weekend and told American citizens that it was “past time to leave” Ukraine. Other countries, including Canada, Israel, Japan, Australia and even Russia, have similarly evacuated embassy personnel. “Things could go crazy quickly,” President Biden warned in an NBC interview.

Biden has vowed that the U.S. would not send troops to Ukraine, which is not a member of NATO, saying such an effort would risk “world war.” But the U.S. has promised a punishing round of sanctions and a unified Western response to a Russian invasion.


The Kremlin has rejected and downplayed reports that it plans to attack Ukraine, but it has not stopped encircling its ex-Soviet bloc neighbor. In addition to naval movements in the south, tens of thousands of Russians are engaged in military exercises with Belarusian forces to Ukraine’s north; pro-Russian separatists are also conducting drills in the Donbass region in Ukraine’s east, where Russia has armed and financed a proxy war for nearly eight years.

Washington has also been rapidly declassifying its intelligence on Russian movements, hoping that such transparency will frustrate Russian President Vladimir Putin’s operations. In particular, the U.S. has warned that the Kremlin is looking to stage a “false flag” attack to fabricate Ukrainian aggression and justify their supposed response.

“The world should be prepared for Russia staging a pretext and then launching a potential military action,” Sullivan said Sunday.

Inform Napalm, a respected volunteer Ukrainian intelligence group, spotted peculiar activity last week by Russian military near the Crimea Bridge, the almost 12-mile bridge constructed by Russia across the Kerch Strait, which connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov, which is uneasily shared by Russia and Ukraine. Inform Napalm’s spokesman Mykhailo Makaruk noted that the group had received reports “about Russian military engineers” on boats “working near the bridge.”

“It is possible,” Makaruk added, “that they are planning to blow up their own bridge,” which opened in 2018 and connects Crimea to the Russian mainland.

Klymenko thinks such an act is in the realm of possibility. “We also think that a Russian staging [of a false flag event] is possible — either an attack on a Russian ship in the Sea of Azov or a mock sabotage act against the Kerch [Crimean] Bridge, which is Mr. Putin’s favorite toy,” he told Yahoo News.

The Black Sea and Sea of Azov have been sites of mounting tensions between Russia and Ukraine, particularly over the past eight years. “Since 2014, Russia has total dominance in the Black Sea — total dominance — because they have six submarines with Kalibr cruise missiles with a 2,500-kilometer range, which is covering not only Ukraine, but half of Europe,” said Samus.

He said the situation in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov degraded rapidly after the events of late November 2018, when Russia blocked three Ukrainian military vessels from crossing from the Black Sea through the Kerch Strait to the Sea of Azov. After refusing the ships entrance, the Russian navy pursued the Ukrainian vessels, ultimately firing on them, ramming one, and arresting the 24 Ukrainian crew members. Samus was stunned by Russia’s show that it had no intention of abiding by international law, but also that NATO had so little to say about the incident.

“International maritime law doesn’t exist in the Black Sea anymore,” Samus said.

Foggo, the retired U.S. admiral, recalled that incident earlier this month during an Atlantic Council webinar, calling it “outrageous” and “a violation of the Geneva Conventions.” Foggo added: “We didn’t do enough about it.”

Adding to the apprehension, NATO — which reportedly had planned to send several ships to the Black Sea in late January — has been pulling back from those waters. “In 2021, there was a high concentration of NATO ships in the Black Sea,” said Klymenko. But they left, he said, the last being a French missile frigate that departed on Jan. 2.

“Now there is an incomprehensible and dangerous pause,” he said. “We, as experts, government officials and diplomats, have been asking our partners for the past months to ensure the continued presence of NATO ships.” But NATO ships have yet to appear. (NATO did not respond to a request for comment.)

Samus added that Ukraine doesn’t have much of a navy, and “NATO doesn't have any strategy in Black Sea.”

NATO ships are, however, in the nearby eastern Mediterranean, where three NATO allied aircraft carrier strike groups conducted exercises last week. However, Russian ships are also very near them in the Mediterranean — in what Klymenko fears may be a maneuver to prevent NATO vessels from entering the Black Sea.

Samus isn’t certain what to expect, but he believes that Putin may try to avoid sanctions by not actually launching a war from the Black Sea. Instead, Russia could strangle the Ukrainian economy by blocking commercial ships from getting to Ukrainian ports — a “hybrid attack” that “could be a disaster for the Ukrainian economy.”

Foggo, while applauding NATO’s unified response to the Russian threat, cautioned that the approach has thus far been far too “land-centric.” NATO “needs more maritime force,” he noted in the Feb. 4 Atlantic Council webinar, and it needs “a comprehensive NATO maritime strategy to deal with situations like this.”

Professor Banji Akintoye, Yoruba Historian and
leader of the Umbrella body of Yoruba Self-
Determination Groups, Ilana Omo Oodua, has
launched a mobile application, ‘Pajawiri'
designed to track kidnapped victims and expose
danger in Yoruba land.
This was made known in a statement issued on
Monday by the spokesperson for the Ilana Omo
Oodua group, Maxwell Adeyemi.
Akintoye noted that Pajawiri is an innovative
way of fighting and combating crimes in modern
society.
According to him, the mobile application and
alert system can expose criminal elements
wherever they are with their victims once the
victims have the application installed on their
phones, either on or off.
He noted that the Security System has another
system called AFINIHAN that can be used by
those without android phones to link up with
those with the full application.
Speaking at the launch held in Ibadan, Oyo
State, Akintoye, who joined the event virtually,
said the emergence of PAJAWIRI is an evidence
that the Yoruba people are too intellectually
sophisticated to be subdued.
Akintoye was quoted as saying, "We have now
proven to the world that we cannot be captured
nor be subdued. We are too intellectually
sophisticated to be subdued.
"It is these innovations and intellectual powers
that we will deploy to get ourselves out of the
quagmires of Nigeria.”
On the attendant benefits of PAJAWIRI,
Akintoye, added, “Every person in possession of
the Pajawiri app on their telephone, will be able
to activate the App instantly, whenever they
find themselves in danger. By activating the
app, they will be able to alert their families, their
friends and their neighbours that they are in
danger and that they need help.
"In that way, no Yoruba person needs to be
alone anywhere on their farms, schools, market
places, shops and anywhere else. Any person
who finds himself threatened by danger and
who is in possession of Pajawiri will be able to
alert other persons for help.
"In short, Yoruba people today, are able now to
enjoy security individually and collectively
through the use of the App known as Pajawiri.
"The Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide owes our
engineers who have put this together an
enormous debt of gratitude. The Yoruba people
also owe a lot of gratitude to the umbrella body
of Yoruba Self-determination groups, 'Ilana Omo
Oduduwa' for all the encouragement and
support that they have given to these
engineers.
"The creators of this App- Pajawiri have
magnanimously offered to put this app Pajawiri
freely at the disposal of every Yoruba person for
the next thirty days. That is, from now till the
21st of January, 2022. This means that all
Yoruba people can have the protection of
Pajawiri without paying any fees for the next
thirty days.
"After that, those who choose to continue to
enjoy the protection of Pajawiri will be able to
do so with an affordable monthly subscription.
That is for those of us who have Smartphones
(Android, iOS or iPhone). For those of us who
do not have smartphones (android, iOS or
iPhone), there has been designed a hand-held
alert device named AFINIHAN to work equally
as effectively as the Pajawiri on the iPhone.
"AFINIHAN - a tiny hand-held device that is able
to perform wonders. This tiny device has been
efficiently tested and will be available for
purchase at a small affordable price.
"The purpose of all these technological
provisions, is that the Yoruba nation must carry
all its people along in this provision of security,"
Akintoye said.
The Coordinator of the PAJAWIRI PROJECT,
Ayobami Abolaji, while speaking on the ideal
features and benefits of the App, explained that
the Pàjáwìrì App is a system to warn and
protect through an alarm and alert system that
will generate protective action for the
community and each individual user.
The United States-based IT expert said "The
Pàjáwìrì app is designed to provide a
technological solution or a system that allows
people to warn others of impending dangers and
arouse established Response Teams in the
communities to stop and prevent various vices
such as: Kidnapping, Raping, Armed Robbery,
Arson, Theft, Accidents, Murders and Banditry
against app users and their community
members.
"The Pàjáwìrì App is a technologically savvy
information and communication application that
alerts and locates the source and flashpoints of
dangerous security breaches where
unchallenged massacres of valuable human
lives and properties are perpetrated. The
Pàjáwìrì App proffers a modern-day means of
curbing or permanently alleviating the fears that
have gripped the inhabitants
of any geographical location and settlements
once and for all.
"The Pàjáwìrì App was designed to be activated
through a referral process only, in order to be
able to know the identities of the app users and
detect suspicious and criminal elements
disguising as real users. It will be free to
download by any user and will be operational
after the referral activated the new user to have
the referral identification.
"AFINIHAN is an Android and iPhone (iOS)
compatible application device that sends alert
signals to the connected phone systems. It is a
mobile alarm system that allows those without
handheld phones to connect to and alert those
with the smartphones and computer devices set
up at data command and control centres
established at various perimeters in the
geographical entities that the app is operating
from," Abolaji stated.

Allahu Akboom!!!

The 40-year-old woman, from northern
Jawzjan province, gave the baby to a
childless couple in return for $104 (N43,
000 at the official rate of N410 to $1)
which she hoped would buy enough food
to last her family for another six months.
An Afghan mother has been forced to sell one
of her newborn twins to get money to feed the
other amid the country's rapidly worsening food
crisis.
The 40-year-old woman, from northern Jawzjan
province, gave the baby to a childless couple in
return for $104 (N43, 000 at the official rate of
N410 to $1) which she hoped would buy enough
food to last her family for another six months,
Daily Mail reports.
Drought had forced the couple to move to a
nearby city, where her husband and second-
eldest son worked as labourers before the
Taliban take-over in August collapsed
Afghanistan's economy and work dried up.
The UN now warns that more than half of
Afghanistan's population faces starvation this
winter, a problem compounded by the fact that
many aid agencies fled the country as the
government collapsed and international aid dried
up.
This family's plight was uncovered by Save the
Children, which does still have workers on the
ground who are distributing what food they have
to those in need.
Speaking to the charity workers, the Afghan
mother explained that she had given birth to the
twins - a boy and a girl - around four or five
months ago, shortly after leaving their farm due
to drought.
Sitting in a bare room carpeted in rugs donated
by a local mosque, the woman explained that all
of the children's clothes are secondhand and
donated by locals.
She had initially planned to keep both children,
but was barely able to get hold of enough food
for even one of them - typically bread, and
sometimes milk powder.
Her husband, 45, works as a labourer but says
there are only enough jobs for one day of work
in five - and the day's wages, around $1, are
enough for just two days of food.
The second-eldest son also works in the nearby
market, the mother said, pushing carts that stall
owners use to carry their produce.
But because he is young, owners often prefer to
use stronger children and he frequently goes
without work as well.
With the new babies crying continually from
hunger, the woman says a childless couple
approached her and offered $104 to take her
newborn son away.
Initially she refused, but after several days of
seeing the boy cry with nothing to eat - she
decided that giving him away was the best
option to provide for him and for her remaining
children.
She said: 'It was hard. Harder than you can
imagine. I gave my child away because of
destitution... I was unable to take care of him
and I could not afford anything.
'I gave all of the money to my husband. He
bought some rice, oil, and flour. We already
finished them.'
Her husband added: 'We need help, we are
hungry and poor.
'There are no work opportunities in Afghanistan.
We have children. We need flour and oil the
most, which we don’t have. It’s also good to
have firewood.
'I could not afford to buy meat in the last two or
three months. We only have bread for the
children which is not always available.'
Save the Children provided the family with
emergency packages for their home.
They were given items for the kitchen, blankets,
winter clothing, shoes, tool kits and other
essential items such as a gas cooking stove.
Workers also learned of a second case where
another mother of twins was pressured by her
family to leave one of them to die because she
was suffering from malnutrition - but she
refused to give up on the girl.
The woman's 18-month-old twins are both
unwell and weak. With the weather getting
colder and the little suffering from severe
malnutrition, the woman explained she can’t
afford to care for her children as a single
parent.
"My son and my daughter cried all last night
because they were hungry. We have nothing in
my house. We have no food, no flour, we have
nothing," she said.
"My husband doesn’t send us money. (He says)
'let her die'. Everyone was telling me, "We 'will
buy her, but I didn’t give her up."

Suspected Fulani herdsmen on Tuesday killed two men in yet another attack on a village, Ancha in the Miango district in Plateau State.

SaharaReporters gathered that the two men were waylaid by the herdsmen while coming from their farm.

They were also identified as Daniel James, 32 years and Zakwe Deba, 35years.

A source informed SaharaReporters that the Fulani herdsmen attacked the two men before shooting them dead.

The source also added that police were adequately informed immediately the incident happened.

In recent times, the level of insecurity caused by attacks by Fulani herdsmen in the state had increasingly become worrisome.

Few weeks ago, in October among several previous attacks and threats, some gunmen had asked troops of the Nigerian Army to vacate their post around a village in the same Miango community in Bassa Local Government Area.

Then a company of soldiers was reportedly deployed to the area following reported attacks on the villagers by gunmen.

The troops working under the army’s Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) had in the past stopped the attackers from invading the villagers.

It was earlier reported that the attackers reportedly wrote to the villages asking them to inform the troops to leave their location as they had planned to attack the community.

Meanwhile, some army commanders in the area were said to have earlier attempted to broker peace between the attackers and the villagers.

One of the leaders of the attackers, sources had said, was invited for a dialogue when some farmers were killed on their farmlands.

A source had explained that, “Because they can’t enter into the village and launch an attack, as soldiers won’t allow them, they now wait for some farmers to enter their farmland and from there they go to attack them,

“It could be difficult to ask soldiers to now follow each villager to the farm, so we thought we could broker peace through dialogue with those guys.

“We made a call through, and an agreement was reached that they would not attack the villagers again. Then at least, we had about three weeks gone and there was no attack on any farmer.”
