Crime › Re: Wife Of Kidnapped Victim Accuses Police Of Murdering Husband by helphelp: 4:11pm On Jul 23, 2017
tiswell:
The team that went for the operation were very unprofessional and must be brought to book
I feel so too, but from their argument which I feel is still unprofessional, they shouldn't shoot at an unarmed person, be it a criminal or a victim. Once unarmed, you can arrest and take for questioning.

But out police force is so used to wasting armed robbers on sight, other than take them in to be charged. They feel no family member wants to associate with an armed robber or assassin or kidnapper.

God help us

To think, I'm FTC on this kind of topic baffles me...

I dedicate this FTC to everyone affected by yesterday's flood... May God grant you the wisdom and energy to pull through(flood is bad, just like fire).

Back to topic. I really don't know who to blame here, the police or the cyclist or even the victim

Can't blame the police, because like they said they got the info that it was an armed robbery scenario and not kidnapping

Won't blame the cyclist, he reported what he thought he saw.

Won't blame the victim, he must have been beaten to a pulp and point of death, to not be able to scream and shout that he was a kidnap victim.

All in all, who don die don die.. May God grant the dead, eternal rest.

If I were a moderator...

This will never pass as "how to stop masturbation"

Dude went all spiritual about it, no scientific or medical approach and one moderator takes it as it is and decides to forward March to front page.

Bro, I thank God for you. But this is not how to stop masturbation, this is more of evangelism and nothing more.

Read up how to stop masturbation through google guys, no one should should hide under any form by evangelising

Health › Meet The Man Who Invented Alabukun 100 Years Ago And Why It Is Rarely Advertised by helphelp(op): 7:30am On Jul 21, 2017
The Alabukun drug has been a very popular medication in different parts of the country although few people have wondered how it came into being and the brain behind it. The drug has become a ubiquitous one that for some, it is the first point of call for any kind of ailment. It is also relatively cheap and handy making it affordable for consumers.

How Alabukun became very popular in Nigeria
The man behind the Alabukun Powder

Jacob Sogboyega Odulate who was born in 1884 in Ikorodu Lagos created what later became the legendary Alabukun drug in 1918. According to report, Odulate at age 14 trekked from Lagos to Abeokuta for three months where he later established his pharmaceutical invention.

The production of the Alabukun drug

In 1918 when Nigeria was still under serious colonial rule, Odulate with the help of his wife and children go to work at his laboratory and workshop at Sapon in Abeokuta. Most of its ingredients came from Liverpool and includes acetylsalicylic acid and caffeine as its active ingredients. “A packet contains 760 mg of acetylsalicylic acid and 60 mg of caffeine making a total of 820 mg.”

The drug became popular among those who preferred local medication to the European one because the powdery form of the Alabukun drug resembled traditional method of drug making which involved grinding the bark of trees into a powdery form. For others, Alabukun was a bridge between the traditional medication and the drugs introduced by the colonialist and was therefore easy to embrace by consumers.

Cure



Alabukun has been fondly referred to as “gbogbonise” especially by Yoruba-speaking Nigerians which literally translates to “a drug that cures all ailment.” This is because it is believed that it has the power to treat different illness especially pain, cold, headache and feverishness.

Why Alabkun is not advertise

Although very popular, Alabukun has found a way into the heart of Nigerians without being advertise. According to report, the drug was spread by word of mouth while drug shops were encouraged to recommend it as a treatment for cold and headache. The feedback was that it worked very fast and being cheap, it soon gained steady rise and popularity. From there, it spread quickly from the south west to other part of Nigeria and then to Benin Republic.

How Alabukun became very popular in Nigeria


So why is this drug not being advertise even more than 100 years after it was produced?

The first report is that the quick popularity of the drug provided Odulate with a strong sense of assurance that there was no need for it. By the time the popularity of Alabukun spread, demand for it rose from consumers.

Besides that, it was reported that the composition of the drug made it impossible for it to be placed for advertisement as that would have forced it to be put out of market especially from pharmacists.

Even without the opportunity of being placed for advertisement and under the reprehensible colonialist government, Alabukun soared making it one of the most popular and oldest indigenous drugs in the country.

Well Yaradua fail to handover that's why the opposition used that against him then, But Buhari did not go against any of constitution.
Let's leave politics abeg.

LOL it's because Yaradua fail to do what is right constitutionally by handing over to his vice (GEJ) thereby lieaving a vacuum..


PMB transfer power to his vice constitutionally so there's nothing anyone wan do in this case..

Maybe you need to ask Lawyers with plain heart to tell you more..
And I ask. Why didn't he resign?

Trust me, it would have been a different case, even if Yaradua had handed over to GEJ.

The opposition then, wanted him oust and not to hand over.

Yar'adua didn't handover to the vice president. The vice president and the rest of the government were kept in the dark with the exclusion of few 'cabals', so the scenario was different.

I still think the president should resign to take good care of himself because one needed to be 100% fit to rule small nations, even more so for a nation as big and complex as ours.
He had to hand over when it seemed inevitable, where they not quiet the first time.

More so, the noise would have been otherwise for a total resignation if Yaradua had handed over to Jonathan even though he was out to take care of himself.

The present day government got served, take it or leave it

You guys didn't wait this long to castigate Yardua...

Lemme read and comment properly later.

Modified: Obviously, Yaradua wasn't your neighbour, and instead of you and your lots allow him rest and take care of himself, you sang the song of a sick president can't rule a nation like ours.

Tell me Jagagban, is there a covenant now with the present president that he can rule even when he's obviously sick.

It's sad the quick turn you so called leaders took just barely how long ago a similar incident happened to our own YAR'ADUA.

Life is turn by turn though. I wish the president good health and good thinking to kindly resign and let able men rule.

God bless naija
