MAKURDI – Three
persons were reportedly
killed in a fresh
outbreak of bloody
conflict between
suspected Fulani
herdsmen and native
Tiv farmers at Yogbo
village in Guma local
government area of
Benu state.

This latest fighting in
Yogbo is coming a year
after a similar crisis in
the same community
between the farmers
and herdsmen left over
45 persons dead.
Vanguard gathered
from an eyewitness
Tuesday that crisis
broke out in Yogbo
three days ago when
some herdsmen
stormed the village at
night shooting
sporadically and burning
down houses, huts and
farmland in the
community.

According to the
witness, “this latest
attack on Yogbo
community was
unprovoked and no one
expected the attack
since there was no form
of incitement of any
kind on both sides.
“They, the Fulanis,
stormed Yogbo with
sophisticated weapons,
at about 10pm, when
the people had gone to
bed, shooting and
burning down huts,
houses and farmland.
“Most of us managed to
flee to safety while the
unlucky ones were
slaughtered in cold
blood, among those
killed were two women
and a man.

“At the moment most
of the victims of the
attack who fled their
homes for fear of being
killed, are currently
moving with their
families towards
Makurdi town for
safety.”

When contacted, the
Chairman of Guma local
government council, Mr.
Frank Adi disclosed that
among those killed in
the latest fighting in
Yogbo were two women
and a man.

He said, “this latest
bloodbath is rather
unfortunate; just when
we were yet to come of
of the shock of the
killing at Uvir
community during a
fishing festival at Ake
Lake, we are yet
confronted with another
destruction and
unfortunate killing of Tiv
farmers in Yogbo”.

The chairman said he
had already informed
the authorities security
agencies in the state on
the latest killing for
necessary action to
stem the ugly
development.

When contacted, the
Benue State Police
Public Relations Officer,
PPRO, Deputy
Suprintendent of Police,
DSP, Daniel Ezeala said
he had not been briefed
on the issue adding that
nobody had informed
the Police of any killings
in Yogbo.

AS Nigeria joined the
rest of the world to
mark this year’s
WorldHealth Day on
April 7, with the theme
“High Blood Pressure”,
the Pharmaceutical
Society of Nigeria, PSN,
cautioned against
unrestrained
consumption of foods
such as noodles which
are high in salt
content,and drugs such
as paracetamol that
contain sodium, as a
way of effectively
addressing risk factors
for raised blood
pressure or
hypertension.

Giving the warning in a
statement to mark the
Day in Lagos, President,
PSN, Pharm. Olumide
Akintayo said: “The risk
of developing high
blood pressure can be
reduced by reducing salt
intake, eating a
balanced diet, avoiding
harmful use of alcohol,
taking regular physical
activity, maintaining a
healthy body weight,
and avoiding tobacco
use.”

Akintayo observed that,
just like in advanced
countries, reduction of
hypertension in the
Nigerian population can
only be effected
through strong public
health policies such as
reduction of salt in
processed food and
widely available
diagnosis and treatment
that tackle hypertension
and other risk factors
together.

His words: “The
Pharmaceutical Society
of Nigeria, PSN,
admonishes the
consuming public on
dietary patterns which is
critical in hypertension.
Some popular diets like
some brands of noodles
accountfor 61 percent
of daily salt requirement
in the smallest packs.

“Newly promoted
brands of soluble
paracetamol with about
450mg ofsodium per
tablet which transcends
2.7g daily when six tabs
are taken a day will be
inimical to the health of
hypertensives and so
call for caution,”
Akintayo said.

Calling for improved
awareness on the
causes and
consequences of
hypertension in line
with goals of the World
Health Day 2013, which
is “greater awareness,
healthy behaviours,
improved detection, and
enabling
environments”, he
argued that the right
systems and services
should be in place to
promote universal
health coverage and
support healthy lifestyles
within the Nigerian
populace.

“Access to good quality
medicines, which are
effective and
inexpensive, is also vital,
particularly at the
primary care level.
Aswith other non-
communicable
diseases,awareness aids
early detectionwhile
self-care helps ensure
regular intake of
medication, healthy
behaviours and better
control of the condition.
Uncontrolled risk factors
“Many can point to
examples of joint action
– across sectors – that is
effectively addressing
risk factors for raised
blood pressure. In
contrast, many
developing countries are
seeing growing numbers
of people who suffer
from heart attacks and
strokes due to
undiagnosed and
uncontrolled risk factors
such as hypertension.

“The risk of developing
these complications is
higher in the presence
of other cardiovascular
risk factors such as
diabetes. However, high
blood pressure is both
preventable and
treatable. Doing so is far
lesscostly, and far safer
for patients, than
interventions like
cardiac bypass surgery
and dialysis that may be
needed when
hypertension is missed
and goes untreated.”

On the role of
pharmacists in
hypertension, Akintayo
noted that as the most
accessible healthcare
professionals in a
community, pharmacists
can verify and improve
the patients’ knowledge
about necessary lifestyle
modifications and use of
medicines and improve
adherence to therapy.
“Pharmaceutical care of
hypertensive patients by
pharmacists has been
demonstrated to
significantly improve
adherence to
antihypertensive therapy
thereby improving
blood pressure control.”
Hypertension as a silent,
invisible killer that rarely
causes symptoms, but
increases the risk of
heart attacks, strokes,
kidney failure and one
which left uncontrolled,
can also cause
blindness, irregularities
of the heartbeat and
heart failure.
Blood pressure
measurement of
140/90mmHg and
above is regarded as
high.

LAGOS — Emotion ran
high, yesterday, when
practitioners in the
movie industry gathered
to pay their last respect
to Justus Esiri, who died
on the February 17.
The event was a candle
light procession in
honour, which took
place at Ojez at the
National Stadium
complex, Surulere.
In attendance were
some of the prominent
nollywood stars, Ini Edo,
Rita Dominic, Kate
Henshaw, Segun Arinze,
Olu Jacobs and his wife,
Joke Silver, Julius Agwu,
Oke Bakassi, Fidelis
Duke, Ernest Obi,
Ifeanyi Dike, amongst
others.
Speaking on behalf of
the bereaved family,
pop singer and second
son of the deceased, Dr.
Sid, described his father
as a perfectionist and
enigma of sort.
According to him, there
will be service of songs
holding today at the
Catholic Church at
Murtala Mohammed
international airport.
Thereafter, the body
would be flown to Warri
for second and final
phase of the funeral
arrangement.
Friday, April 12, the
body will proceed to
Abraka for another
commendation mass/
lying in state at the polo
turf in Abraka.

Paying tribute to late Esiri, AGN President, Ibinabo Fiberesima,
who was represented at the occasion by Ini Edo said: “Late Esiri lived a fulfilled life,” adding that Esiri made AGN what it
is today and he wanted a positive change for the industry which of course was achieved
before his death.

He thanked Nollywood
practitioners, who came
out to honour his late
father, saying his late
father was “more than
an icon, more than a
friend.”

He said even though his
father was no more, he
remains a legend whose
legacy would not be
forgotten in a hurry.

It surprises me that many Nigerians keep making the country looks as if it is too poor to provide for its citizens yet billions of dollars are being stolen every now and then stacked offshore.

Jeez! I am getting infuriated at the stupidity and tricky nature of most Nigerians who are bent on the backward spiral of the nation development.
