THE Kano State government has denied the story reported in a section of
the media that it has banned Christians in the state from going to church on
Sundays of each month ending.
Dismissing the story as unfortunate, sad and malicious, the state’s
Commissioner of Information, Youth, Sports and Culture, Comrade
Muhammad Garba, said, “the story is a complete lie, false, lacks any iota of
truth and substance, mischievous and aimed at tarnishing the image and
good reputation of governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and his administration.”
According to him, the report further added that all efforts by Christian
leaders in Kano to appeal to the All Progressives Congress (APC)
government in order to reconsider the policy proved abortive.
Maintaining that the said
story lacks professional
touch, he said, “it is filled
with lies, subjectivity,
sentiment, bias and
irresponsibility, that is
capable of breaching the
hard earned peace in the
state and the existing
cordial relationship
between the adherents of
the two major religions.”
Garba further hinted, “the
malicious story also quoted a faceless, unidentified and imaginary Islamic
Cleric in the state backing the alleged policy claiming that Kano is an Islamic
state, that any Christian, who is not happy with the new directive, should
move to another state.”

This is an age-old disease, but it is still very common in various communities
around the country. Often, it is treated with levity and disaster strikes with the
twin burden of avoidable tragedy and loss. Till today, it is very common in
many parts of Africa and many other developing countries in Latin America and
Asia. It is commonly found in the farms and gardens in those parts of the
world. The offending organism is a small bacterium that lives in the soil and in
manure known as Clostridium tetani. This bacterium enters the body from
wounds small and large and begins to produce a toxin from its cell wall that
causes so many of the scary features that characterise this infection.
The toxin is called tetanospamin and it is transported through the blood stream
to the various parts of the body where it exerts its effects on nerve endings to
cause some of the major features that are known to be associated with this
disease. Typically, these signs are more prominent when the injury is closer to
the head and neck region than in the lower limbs for example. The features are
less severe when the period between the injury and the onset of the very first
sign is more than a week.
Tetanus is no respecter of person or status, as it has been the cause of death
of both prominent and ordinary folks in Nigeria. This is in spite of the efforts
made in the last 40 years to actively immunise children and pregnant woman
with the anti-tetanus prophylaxis. However, if the dose of the bacteria with
which a person is infected is large enough, the duration of the infection is
irrelevant as the effects are still severe.
The common wounds that are prone to transmitting this infection are:
1) Cuts on the farmland to the hands and feet.
2) Injuries at home from used razors.
3) Incisions on the body made with razors and knives, a common practice in
many traditional communities
4) Ritual circumcision practices
5) Dressing of wounds with unclean materials such as warm soil.
6) The habit of cleaning the ears with materials often picked up from the floor
or ground
7) Wounds on any part of the body sustained in open drains and gutters
Scrapes and scratches made by domestic animals kept at home as pets.
Prevention of the sequel of events that can lead to tetanus must be the focus
in any of the situations mentioned above. Wounds sustained in any of the
above circumstances must be taken to the hospital where they are properly
cleansed and dressed, and the person involved placed on antibiotics to kill off
all remaining bacteria in the wound.
The dressing will also need to be changed on a daily basis while the wound is
fresh. But sometimes, when the wound is adjudged as large and serious
enough, such victims are admitted in hospital for proper wound care that may
involve repeated operations at short intervals in order to control any infection.
These operations are known as debridement. It is a serious affair and can avail
much when done properly in a good setting. The dressing is done by skilled
nurses wearing the appropriate kits. It is not true that the infection can be
transferred from one person to another through sweat, blood or wet clothes.
Such persons are also given a shot of Tetanus toxoid which does not become
active until after a few days. To complete the immediate treatment, a dose of
anti-Tetanus serum must also be given after a test dose. A test dose is
important because the injection is a foreign protein to which some people can
react very adversely. This serum kicks into protective action immediately.
For those persons whose wounds are caused by the traditional village surgeon
who performs the circumcisions with unclean equipment; for the medicine man
who treats every fever with incantations and the cutting of the skin with
scarification marks; for the family priest who makes incisions on the forehead
or the wrists and feet of the new family members, there is no hospital visit to
clean such wounds because they are not assumed to have been injured in the
real sense of the word. They have only, perhaps, been ‘branded.’ These are the
people for whom we must weep because they will arrive in the hospital late and
with the florid features of tetanus already well established in their system. For
people like these, agonising death is the usual result.
The effects of tetanus are very profound. They start in a little way and progress
fairly dramatically to a crescendo of effects, none of which is pleasant.
Frequently, death occurs. At other times, some people are saved with the right
combination of drug treatment and early recognition of the problem. These
features are;
1) Lock jaw
2) A sardonic smile that is actually a grimace
3) A stiff neck
4) An arched back
5) Muscle spasms which can be provoked by bright light; by noise; by any
form of disturbance you can imagine in the very severe cases.
6) A malfunctioning heart with an abnormal beat.
7) Cardiac arrest
Death.
The treatment of this disease has to be in a hospital setting with adequate
sedation, intravenous fluids and antibiotics. There must be as little disturbance
as possible. The room may be kept in shaded lighting with the patient alone
and minimum disturbance from injections and other similar medications. Those
who begin to show any kind of abnormalities in their heart beat should ideally
be treated in an intensive care unit where their breathing is taken over by
machines and the patient is placed in a medically-induced coma. This affords
such patients the opportunity to have intensive monitoring and the chance to
have adequate organ support so that they can have any hope of recovery. In
many cases, despite the deployment of the hardware mentioned above and the
availability of the kind of personnel relevant to their care, death still results.
This is one more example of the age-old saying that prevention is better than
cure. In the case of tetanus, it is also cheaper than cure. The vaccine is readily
available and may cost no more than a few hundred nairas in most hospitals.
On the other hand, treatment in an intensive care unit would run into hundreds
of thousands of naira with an uncertain outcome. Clearly, such an outlay of
financial resources is beyond the reach of most Nigerians or for most of the
people who live in the Third World. It is thus a curse whose worst effects are
preventable by immunisation. In our personal attitude to injuries, no matter how
trivial they may seem, there is much to gain by doing what is prudent. Allow a
trained person assess the wound and help you determine what has to be done.
It is not a question of waiting to see what might happen but by taking the initial
step to forestalling what could be a disaster.
Finally, the determination of what antibiotic to use by the patient should be by
the doctor based on his assessment of the wound. It is not a matter for the
local chemist to handle. Often, when complications have arisen, these same
people are likely to label it as a spiritual attack. Let us therefore, be wise and
learn to treat our wounds with care. The ones sustained at home from the clean
utensils in our possession are largely free of this risk because they are not in
contact with soil or manure or similar compounds that may make such a
complication as Tetanus a likely event.

In spite of the spike in attacks by the violent Boko Haram sect in the north-
east, the Federal Government has said it is winning the terrorism war.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Bulus Lolo,
told journalists on Saturday in Abuja that President Muhammad Buhari has
mapped out a regional security strategy in collaboration with Chad, Niger and
Cameroun to end Boko Haram attacks.
According to him, Buhari’s recent visit to Chad, Niger and Cameroun was to
strategise not only on military option but to explore others measures that could
be adopted to address the fundamental causes of the insurgency in order to
find a final solution to the problem.
“Thus the governments of these countries have agreed that they will meet
military option with economic, social and supportive measures that will also
bring succour to the people; with the strategies being put in place, the war
against terrorism will be won soon because we are closing in on Boko Haram,”
Lolo stated.
He said that the President’s visits to Germany and South Africa for the G7 and
the African Union Summits respectively were fruitful in the sense that it
provided Nigeria with a wider initiative to resolve some of the challenges
confronting it.
Lolo explained the President’s resolve to tackle corruption and unemployment
which he said are linked to insecurity, adding that Buhari’s commitment to the
war against corruption was well articulated.
He stressed that the international community perceived Buhari as having the
credentials for “scrupulous honesty and the pedigree as an incorruptible leader,”
noting that it is an endorsement that Nigerians should be proud of and a sign
of hope that the nation has stepped forward again under the Buhari
administration.
The Permanent Secretary while fielding questions from reporters, noted that
economic diplomacy remains the cardinal objective of the government,
stressing that the government would bring the enormous expertise in the
country to bear as well as mobilise both human and financial resources to make
sure that the foreign policy objective of Nigeria is realised by the present
administration.

President Buhari is yet to constitute the federal cabinet and says he is
cleaning mess left by former administration, as well as running background
checks on his possible appointees to ensure his fight against corruption
does not suffer credibility breaches. What do you make out of the delay?
IT is a very feeble explanation. First of all they must thank President
(Goodluck) Jonathan that he did not challenge the election at the tribunal.
They had more than two months before taking office and he (the President)
is now more than one month in office. Nigeria did not elect a sole
administrator. The president is in breach of our constitution by not
constituting a cabinet. In fact, doing a background check, is not a reason
why he should stifle the constitution in the smooth operation of Federal
Government. It shows that he does not actually appreciate the enormity of
the responsibility of being the president of the country.
Nigeria cannot continue to wait; he has less than 48 months of
administration and one month has gone. It shows that the political party
that promoted his candidature does not have a shallow idea of how and
who; even those that have enunciated, whichever policy they used in the
campaign. That he is looking for men and women of integrity, I think
President Buhari is arrogating to himself, too much discretion on who to
bring in to his government.
There is no way he can
comfortably sit in one
place and run a check on
every Nigerian, after all it
was a political party that
put him forward; the
same political party has
men and women they
feel can power their
policies so that they can
deliver good governance.
Nigerians are waiting to
see the people he would
bring from the moon as ministers. There is no Attorney General of the
Federation, no Minister of Finance or Foreign Affairs; unauthorised persons
are signing documents meant for statutory officers. And it shows that the
party is ill prepared for leadership and the enormity of responsibility that they
have now found themselves in that they are failing in kick-starting the
government. They will never use that as an excuse that they are cleaning
the so-called mess, what mess did Jonathan leave? Jonathan ran a
constitutional government. If he had run government outside the
constitution, he can be brought to book. And (President) Buhari cannot do
that without a cabinet period.
them not tease themselves that they have given Igbo a position by putting
up Ike Ekweremadu as Deputy Senate President. I am challenging
Ekweremadu that he has all the credentials to be President of that Senate if
his party was in the majority, because they are looking for an arrowhead
that can provide leadership, the same credential as a presidential candidate.
I wonder why he should be celebrating that mediocrity. So, the issue of
occupying the Deputy Senate President is not a strategic thinking, as far as I
am concerned. I don’t wish to be advising the PDP, I am not their fan.

There is a difference between a cure and a healing, and this underlies the
difference between medicine and spirituality.
Undoubtedly, the noble goal of medicine is to bring succour, relief and a cure
to the myriad ailments which seem to plague humankind; yet, by their own
admission, at least the majority of the medical faculty in Nigeria, ascribe
healing to a power beyond them – God.
Many hospitals publicly post at their entrance gates the slogan ‘We care, but
God heals’, and many a Nigerian patient has found tremendous comfort from
these words.
A cure can be defined as a restoration, remedy or a removal. It is based very
firmly in the evidence of materiality, symptoms and diagnosis. It takes its
cue from organs, equipment and physical standards set by medicine. A cure
is said to be effected for example when a healthy condition is restored, relief
from a pain or alleviation of a swelling is achieved or there is a removal of
symptoms.
Healing however goes
beyond the physical
picture or diseased
sense presented. It is a
restoration, but of
wholeness rather than
an alleviation of
symptoms. It has a
radical newness and
vitality which makes the
earlier diseased state
seem to be a dream, an
illusion that did not
really touch man. Those
who have experienced spiritual healing attest to the fact that their state of
health is not only better than before, but the whole experience is
transformative.
Medicine and science rejoice when a cure for an ailment is found, and
recently, Dundee University, Scotland, heralded such a breakthrough for
possibly curing malaria. Such announcements attest to the commitment of
the medical faculty to bring a lessening of suffering from ill health, and
should certainly be applauded. However, laudable as such medical and
pharmaceutical breakthroughs are, they are no guarantee that using a
wonder drug would mean the permanent end of bouts of malaria. It might
bring quicker relief, but it only cures that particular bout of the ailment, it
does not heal it permanently.
There is a remarkable statement in Science and Health with to the Scriptures,
a book on spiritual healing written by Mary Baker Eddy [1829-1910], and
borne out by incontrovertible, practical proof. Eddy writes ‘We think we are
healed when a disease disappears, though it is liable to reappear; but we are
never thoroughly healed until the liability to be ill is removed.’ Through her
study of the Bible, and particularly of the works of Christ Jesus, Eddy
discovered the rules for spiritual healing. She subjected these rules to the
test, and numerous individuals continue to not merely be cured of ailments,
but are completely healed. She wrote these rules in her aforementioned
book.
If a possible cure by medicine elicits heartfelt thanksgiving and celebration,
how much more the quieter but transformative healing which comes about
through spiritual discipline – [yes, it takes an effort on the part of the
individual] – turning to God, following the Christ example, study, adhering to
the rules of spiritual healing discovered and childlike faith.
