HealthRe: Sachet Alcohol Is Responsible For Banditry,Road Accidents & Suicides – NAFDAC DG by edogu(m): 11:29pm On Mar 04
PulaPower:
Sachets drinks are easy to carry along. You fit out 5 for pocket and nobody go know..
Is not enough reason to ban them? What about the economic cost? What about the job loss that may result in the ban of the satchet drinks? Instead of banning why sensitise them in partnership with other agencies such road safety, NOA etc

Alternatively, the government could consider increasing taxes on sachet alcoholic drinks. A price increase may discourage excessive consumption and reduce patronage.
HealthRe: Sachet Alcohol Is Responsible For Banditry,Road Accidents & Suicides – NAFDAC DG by edogu(m):
I initially thought the ban was based on health concerns. However, if the reason is road accidents, then it would mean that all alcoholic drinks should also be banned, since alcohol in general can contribute to such incidents.

If the justification is banditry, then a stronger argument would be required, especially considering that alcohol consumption is not supported in Islam. Does this imply that bandits, including groups like Boko Haram, consume alcoholic drinks? If the concern were drug abuse, that would be more understandable, as past arrests and interviews have shown links between certain drugs and criminal activities.

As for suicide, I do not believe that this alone is sufficient reason to ban satchet alcoholic drinks. If that was the case, then all alcoholic drinks would need to be banned, because an addict does not discriminate when seeking for an alcoholic drinks to take

That is my humble opinion.

CelebritiesRe: Asake Buys G-wagon G63 For His Mother As Ramadan Gift by edogu(m):
Some of those criticising him for buying a car for his mum instead of his dad might do the very same thing if they were given the opportunity.

Dear men, I have come to realise that some of us spend all our time hustling to provide for our families, yet we hardly spend time with them. That period of bonding, especially when the children are young and tender, is extremely important. No amount of money can replace presence.

Make out time to be with your children. Be present. Pay their school fees yourself when you can, attend their events, keep records, and let them see your involvement. These little things matter more than we often realise.

When a man dedicates all his time solely to hustling and leaves the emotional and visible responsibilities to someone else, the narrative can easily be controlled by that person. In unhealthy situations, a spouse may present herself as the only one carrying the burden, even when that is not the full picture. Over time, this can shape how children perceive their father.

Provision is important, but presence is powerful. Children need both. Till date, I have not forgotten my experience with my dad to British council, Enugu. Create fond memories with them and when they grow up, they won't forget it.

Otilo for lecturer, HoD and any other person directly involved. The lecturer may be suspended if care is not taken. The others may be placed on half salary. The HoD is supposed to vet question papers after submission. If had done this properly, they should have spotted the mistake or anomaly on time.

When you force boys and girls into men and women's affairs, this is the result. Tell me, what's 19 Yr old teen doing in a marriage. Marriage no be beans. You need to be emotionally, psychologically and financially ready. The first two are very important. Women can be dramatic and if you don't have the emotional intelligence to follow them na big wahala. Rest in peace to them.

FamilyRe: Child Teething Issue by edogu(m):
Among my four children, only one truly gave us a serious scare, our first child. He was stooling and vomiting. As first-time parents, we had no idea what to do. We panicked and rushed him to the hospital. The paediatrician we met prescribed medication, but he was responding very slowly, and that worsened our fear.

Out of desperation, we started consulting some of our friends and neighbours who already had children. Everyone had a suggestion. Some advised us to give him Flagyl and anti-vomiting drugs. Others recommended buying oral rehydration solution. We tried what we could, yet he continued vomiting and stooling.

Thank God for breast milk. My wife was practising exclusive breastfeeding, and that helped sustain him through that difficult period.

One particular night was the worst. His condition seemed to deteriorate, and my wife broke down in tears. I kept reassuring her that everything would be fine, even though I was equally afraid. The financial strain added to the emotional stress because we had not planned for such an emergency.

The next day, we rushed back to the hospital. After examining him, the doctor noted that his face had become pale, with clear signs of dehydration owing to the vomiting and stooling. He immediately recommended that he be placed on intravenous fluids along with injections.

Within three days, he made a remarkable recovery.

We continued giving him teething medication afterwards, and soon enough, his teeth began to come in gradually. By May this year, he will turn eight.

Amotekun started to suffer the Nigerian dilemma almost immediately they were created. Ondo State Amotekun is yet to give the officers APPOINTMENT LETTERS till date. The guy that dared to speak up was haunted, his wife abducted since December and yet to be released.
The corruption in our DNA is the reason why this country cannot amount to anything. That's why I can't blame anyone who sacrifices everything to travel out of Nigeria. Nigeria is a Jinx that is yet to be broken
I knew something was wrong. They were really proactive at the initial stage they started. May be the approval for State police may help.to bring them back.
CrimeRe: Ekiti Farm Manager Escapes Kidnappers After 42 Days In Captivity & Paying ₦17M by edogu(m): 1:30pm On Mar 02
It's been long I heard of Amotekun. I thought this is one of the reasons they were created. That initial support from South West governors are no more there. Unfortunately, some of the people behind the project such as the late governor of Ondo State are no more alive or in position of power.
TravelRe: Abia Goes Cashless For Green Shuttle Transport Buses (Photos) by edogu(m):
This is highly impressive and affordable. Aba to Umuahia at N800 is highly affordable. Currently N1500 if you are using commercial transport. Umuahia to Ohafia at N1000. Wow! The current cost to Ohafia with other transport companies is almost N5000

It will definitely impact on people's lives positively. That's what governance should be.
Nairaland GeneralRe: Nairalanders, Talk To Me About Nairaland by edogu(m): 11:43pm On Mar 01
I joined Nairaland in 2009, and I can confidently say this is not the same Nairaland I once knew. It is not the platform I proudly introduced to my dad and some of my siblings. It is not the forum that I used to recommend to our students whenever I want to give them examples of online forum.

What makes it to the front page these days is quite disappointing. There was a time when informative and educative content dominated the space. That seems to be fading.

The moderators really need to step up. Some appear politically biased or otherwise, and that raises concerns about fairness. How can moderation truly be impartial when personal leanings seem to influence decisions?
