Just for da Lolz.. . Shola was in SS3.. .His teacher always yelled at him, calling him "a waste of conception, time and space. And a sure failure in life".One day, poor Shola's grand mother came to school to check out how her grandson was doing. The teacher told her quite frankly that she had never seen such a dumb boy all her life; and advised her to withdraw and enroll him under an artisan, because formal schooling for Shola would be a total waste of time and money.. . The grandmother, shocked at the teacher's remarks, withdrew her grandson from the school and relocated to Maiduguri....****25 years later ****The teacher was diagnosed with a brain tumour. All the doctors she met advised her to do surgery. And only a certain doctor in the whole of Nigeria (practicing in Maiduguri) could perform this procedure. Left with no alternative, the poor teacher agreed to have the surgery performed. Fortunately, It was successful.. . When she awoke hours after the surgery, she saw a handsome young doctor smiling down at her. She was on artificial respiration from a machine that provided her oxygen. She wanted to thank him but could not speak. She looked sideways and suddenly began to express shock & anguish, her face started to turn pale; she frantically made attempts to raise her hand and tell him something but couldn't.. . She struggled, she fought hard-Then she gave up the Ghost and died.The young doctor was shocked. He tried to find out what went wrong. Eventually he found out that it was our dear Shola (now working as a cleaner in the hospital) who had disconnected the lady's oxygen machine to connect his phone charger. Wait oooooo!... Don't tell me that you thought that Shola became the doctor? lolIf ah hear....Shola no know book period!! |

Nigeria has been removed from the list of polio
endemic countries in what is being regarded as
a "milestone" on the quest to eradicate the
disease.
The announcement by the World Health
Organization (WHO), was made at a meeting of
the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in
New York.
It follows Nigeria going more than a year without
a case of wild - naturally occurring - polio.
Three years without cases are required before it
can be declared polio free.
The decision means there are just two endemic
countries - Pakistan and Afghanistan - where
transmission of the paralysing virus has never
been interrupted.
Jean Gough, Unicef country representative in
Nigeria, told me: "This is an important milestone,
but it is too early to celebrate. We need to
continue the efforts at every level if polio is to
be eradicated."
Polio is spread by poor sanitation and
contaminated water and usually affects children.
The virus attacks the nervous system and can
cause irreversible paralysis - usually of the legs -
within hours.
GPEI was established in 1988 when tens of
thousands of children in more than 125 countries
were paralysed by polio each year.
Partner organisations include the WHO, Rotary
International and the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation.
Challenge
Nigeria's progress against polio has been hard-
fought.
In 2003, some northern states boycotted the oral
polio vaccine for nearly a year after scare stories
that it caused sterilisation.
It led to the virus spreading to many countries
that had been declared polio free.
In 2013 nine vaccinators were shot dead in
Kano. But instead of being a deterrent, it
galvanised support at every level.
The Nigerian government declared polio a
national health emergency and greatly increased
the number of vaccinators.
And community and religious leaders voiced their
support.
As a result, the number of families refusing to
have their children immunised has decreased
sharply.
Boko Haram
The success has come despite the Islamist
militant insurgency in north-east Nigeria.
Earlier this month Unicef said half a million
children had fled attacks by Boko Haram over
the past five months.
Vaccine teams have been focussing attention on
displaced families who have moved elsewhere in
Nigeria, as well as fleeing to neighbouring
countries like Cameroon, Chad and Niger.
I last visited Kano in northern Nigeria in 2005
and met Aminu Ahmed, and his son Umar - both
of whom have been paralysed by polio.
Like other children, Umar did not get the drops
of polio vaccine and was infected, partially
paralysing his right leg.
His father - who runs a charity making hand-
operated tricycles for polio sufferers - has
become a campaigner for polio immunisation.
I went back to meet the family. Umar is doing
well at school and he now joins his father in
persuading families to be immunised.
Aminu Ahmed told me: "Ten years ago, it was
very common to see families saying no to the
vaccine - now they all want it.
"We say you do not want your children to be
unable to walk, like me."
Polio progress
Wild polio
Nigeria, like the rest of the world, is switching
from the oral polio vaccine, given in two drops
into the mouth, to an injectable, inactivated form
of polio vaccine (IPV).
The oral vaccine, which contains a weakened
vaccine virus, can in extremely rare cases, cause
a form of polio - circulation vaccine-derived
poliovirus (cVDPV).
There has been one case of cVDPV in Nigeria
this year.
I met the family of the last child to be infected
with wild polio.
Isau was 16 months old when he was infected in
July 2014.
His right arm lies lifeless at his side - the
muscles have withered and he cannot use them.
His mother, Kanduwa Ahmadu, has just given
birth to another boy. She told me: "I will make
sure my baby son gets all the doses of polio
vaccine he needs. I know that life will be very
hard for Isau."
It's more than a year since there has been a
case of wild polio in Africa.
Eradicating the disease from the continent
would be a huge achievement.
But health officials fear a resurgence of the
disease unless efforts are continued to
immunise every child.
India was declared polio free last year.
So far this year there have been 41 cases of
wild polio worldwide, compared to 200 at the
same point last year. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-34328447 |

The new rules in Ado-Ekiti now makes the people feel like the Governor has tasted a new type of weed. Strict rules on major roads, seizure and destruction of illegal infrastructures. Even the governor's speech yesterday showed he is ready for business. So many drama have sprung up since the declaration of the new rules. From woman going nude to man cutting himself with stones to an hausa man running after a vehicle loading his watermelon away. Hmmmm Source? Meeeeeeee |
