Sickle cell disease has been a very troubling challenge to Nigerian. The impact of the disease on most sickle cell patients' lives can only be imagined by other people.
The whole family of a sickle cell patient is negatively impacted socio-economically especially by the frequent painful crises that often land them on hospital beds.

As a child, I lost a close friend and later an uncle to the complications of Sickle Cell Disease.

During my year as a Medical intern and later as a Medical Officer, I vividly remember the agony-- pain would be an unfair understatement-- that the patients we treated battled with while we also tried to rescue them life-threatening complications.

A lot of campaigns have been going on to create awareness on stopping the incidence- the occurrence of new cases- of Sickle Cell Disease through genetic counselling, genotype testing and the like, which I believe should be intensified.

However, the prevalence of Sickle Cell Disease in Nigeria (and globally) with the overall burden of the disease and its complications clearly shows the need for help for individuals and families who are already suffering the consequence of the disease.

Fortunately, I came across this natural nutritional supplement that has radically changed the lives of many sickle cell patients.
My first experience with the supplement was when a woman my family knows spoke to us about her daughter having Sickle Cell crisis. We bought it for her and the response was dramatic. I saw a smile on the girl's face that told her story as she knelt down to say, "Thank you."

After similar experiences with other people we know, I decided to focus on creating the awareness that there is now a natural nutritional supplement sickle cell patients can take that will stop the process of their red blood cells becoming rigid, sickle and sticky and, as a result, it totally stops or at least significantly reduce the chances of developing the complications of Sickle Cell Disease including the anaemia and the crises.
Those using it as recommended lead a normal healthy life like other people; blood transfusion becomes unnecessary as their red blood cells survive longer. In all, the whole family can breath fresh air of great relief.

The supplement is registered with NAFDAC. Sickle Cell Patients from 6 months of age and above can use it.

AMERICA FOUNDED AS A CHRISTIAN NATION? YES!
Both federal and state courts ruled on that until much later. Whatever happened later cannot over rule the believes of the founding fathers through whom those who changed the law were given life.

1. Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, 143 U.S. 457, 12 S.Ct. 511, 36 L.Ed. 226 (1892):


"Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of The Redeemer of mankind. It's impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian... This is a religious people. This is historically true. From the discovery of this continent to the present hour, there is a single voice making this affirmation... we find everywhere a clear recognition of the same truth... These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation."

Sometimes when experts don't agree, it is because the solution has nothing to do with expertise but creativity. Such is the case with Nigerian economy.

What Do We Want?

1. We want a technologically advanced Nigeria
2. We want a country that food, clothing and shelter will be affordable and accessible to Nigerian

3. We want to have all our available resources adequately utilized and turned from raw materials to value-added products high on the value chain.

4. We want Nigeria to become a self-sufficient, net exporter of goods and services

These are the things we want. So the real issue is not about the value of the Naira but about how we can achieve ALL of the above.

WHAT DO WE NEED?

1. We need to ELIMINATE poverty from the MINDS of Nigerians. In other words NIGERIANS NEED TO FEEL RICH AND ABLE TO ACHIEVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO IN LIVE WITHOUT THE OBSTACLE OF MONEY.

2. We need ALL Nigerians to have access to quality education tailored to their real passion in life-- so far it is not a crime.

3. ALL Nigerians need to have ASSURANCE that as long as they are offering a product or service they are best suitable to do OR under training for such, they will not lack basic needs and access to positive entertainment, recreational and relaxation services.

4. We need constant and quality supply of electricity


HOW DO WE GET THESE DONE?


1. We can create a New Naira only useful within our borders by Nigerians and registered indigenous Nigerian businesses and institutions.
We can make the value of this new currency anything we want but it should worth more than than the British pounds or any other currency known.

2. This money should be locally produced, better if in electronic version accessible online or through mobile phones.

3. Every Nigerian should be GIVEN enough value of this currency that will cover for quality food, clothing, shelter, education, healthcare for a lifetime of up to 120 years.

4. Access to the New Naira should be available at no interest to Nigerians who wants to start businesses or programs that will enhance our technological and export potentials of goods and services using locally available raw materials and Nigerians as personnel.

5. The New Naira will only be used to purchase locally made goods and pay for services provided by Nigerians or indigenous companies.

6. For transactions with non-Nigerians and non-indigenous companies as well as in international market (import and export), the (old) Naira will be used.

7. Devalue the (old) Naira against the currencies of countries who will purchase Nigerian products and services.

This way we will keep people motivated, eradicate poverty, develop adequate manpower and achieve our net exporter status goals.

OF COURSE THIS HAS IT'S OWN CHALLENGES BUT THEY WILL BE GOOD ONES THAT WILL GET US THINKING BETTER AND THINKING NIGERIA FIRST.

Delusional disorder is a psychiatric condition in which the patients present with delusions, but with no accompanying prominent hallucinations, thought disorder, mood disorder, or significant flattening of affect. Delusions are a specific symptom of psychosis. Delusions can be bizarre or non-bizarre in content. Non-bizarre delusions are fixed false beliefs that involve situations that could potentially occur in real life; examples include being followed or poisoned. Apart from their delusions, people with delusional disorder may continue to socialize and function in a normal manner and their behaviour does not generally seem odd or bizarre. However, the preoccupation with delusional ideas can be disruptive to their overall lives.

PREAMBLE


--We need a political structure that will truly empower Nigerians and make real decision-makers not only accountable to but also within the reach of the people. In other words, we need a government that will decongest the centre and bring power both close to the people and within their control.


-- We need a political structure that will RADICALLY REDUCE government spending and bureaucracy


-- We need a political structure that will make diversion of public funds to private use impossible or at least minimal AND with lesser consequences


-- We need a political structure that will enhance national security, inter-ethnic respect and collaboration , and quick resolution of crises


-- We need a political structure that will remove the incentive for wastage of lives, time and funds on political campaigns


-- We need a political structure that can support the weight of true national transformation and catalyse genuine attitudinal change necessary for making Nigeria a country the whole world will be proud of.


• Being convinced that Nigeria can become a poverty-free, technologically advanced and morally sound Super-Power in the community of nations,


• Believing whole-heartedly that when we as a nation decide to make a difference in our own lives, NIGERIANS ARE WELL ABLE and have demonstrated this again and again in our national life and individual pursuits from independence,


I hereby propose a political structure that when we all study with passion for the good of all rather than with selfish ambition or personal glory and without being motivated by fear of the unknown, WE CAN MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE IT WORK RATHER THAN TALK ABOUT WHY IT WILL NOT WORK. IT WILL WORK IF WE WANT IT TO. If there is a problem somewhere, we only detect it because the solution is within our reach. I believe this with all my heart.



THE PROPOSAL

That Nigeria should establish a new political structure maintaining states as the nation's dividing units consisting of:


1. A REPRESENTATIVE Federal Government whose roles are:


i. To elect a Sovereign Delegate(SD) who will represent Nigeria's interest and represent Nigeria at the international scene,


ii. To appoint the Deputy Sovereign Delegate (DSD) who represents Nigeria's interest and represents the country when the SD shall not be available,


ii. To appoint the Speaker of the Federal Parliament and deputy who shall head the meetings of the Parliament,


iii. To decide on all matters related to Nigeria's foreign affairs officials, policies and activities and mediate interstate issues,


* The Federal Parliament will be supported by individual state contributions scientifically determined and reviewed from time to time based on each states capacity by the Parliament.

* The parliament shall also be subject to the decision of the court of law, like any other person, body, government, organization or institution in Nigeria.



2. A SUPERVISORY State Government: This is headed by the Speaker of the State Parliament elected by the Parliament. The roles shall be


i. To appoint the Speaker of the State Parliament and the deputy


ii. To appoint The State Representative and deputy at the Federal Parliament who will be representing the state and as well as represent the interest of the state in the Federal Parliament as decided by the State Parliament.


iii. To make final decision on Local Government strategic developmental plan and budgetary allocations as developed by and received from all the Local Governments in the state.


iv. To receive funds on behalf of the state and distribute the same as approved by the State Parliament or, where indicated, by a Joint Local Government Executives Council, to the Local Government Areas, the State Parliament and the Federal Parliament.


v. To perform fixed, regular periodic oversight function over Local Government activities and ensure Local Government budgets are well implemented.


vi. To appraise and reward the performance of Local Government Executives.


vii. To investigate cases of misconduct of members as well as Local Government Executives and present cases in court for decision-making.


viii. To regularly request (and decide on) petitions, observations and feedbacks from institutions, civil/human right organizations and private individuals and regularly publicize how members of the state parliament can be conveniently and quickly reached for submission of such petitions, observations and feedbacks through available effective media.


* The petitions, observations and feedbacks can be about the parliament, Local Government Executives or departments.


* The State Government shall be funded by activities within Local Governments, private or external donations if needed, as planned and submitted by the State Parliament to be approved by the Joint Local Government Executives Council meeting.



3. An EXECUTIVE Local Government which shall be responsible for the planning and execution of welfare programs, sustainable developmental programs as well as the security of the people within the local government area.


* The Local Government Chairpersons and members of state parliaments from that local government area are the only ones Nigerian citizens as a whole will go out to cast their votes for.


* The Judiciary shall be financially autonomous and operationally independent from the political hierarchies.


* Each constituted level of government should employ the services of its chosen legal practitioners who will represent it in the court of law based on laid down criteria and in the form of employment suitable for it.


* Natural resources should become STATE-OWNED and any state that cannot sustain itself should either merge with another state or form an socio-economic alliance with other state(s) to start a mutually benefiting relationship, depending on which one is more feasible for progress and development.



CONCLUSION


I believe that with the above proposed political structure the Nigerian government will become lean with less duplication of roles while becoming more effective;

There will be better planning, implementation and supervision of budgets and programs;

There will be a natural drive for excellent performance, citizens will be more involved in the democratic process and will be better impacted by the dividends of democracy;

Nigeria will become an enviable global power.

Thank you.

NO MATTER HOW HECTIC THE TRAFFIC MAYBE ................ PLEASE DON'T ALLOW THE DRIVERS TAKE ANY "SHORTCUT"

I have always noticed a portion of land at the right hand side of the road with two big gates immediately you descend the THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE going towards Adekunle but I have never really thought it could be a hide out for the MEN of the UNDERWORLD, but last week Friday I came in direct contact with them...

This is not an attempt to embarrass anyone but to help those who desire to know the truth find the true path of true and turn away from deception.

Both the Bible and the Qur'an says Jesus Christ was conceived while Mary was a virgin. However- and this is important for those who claim both religions are from the same God- Jesus mostly referred to God as "My Father" all through the Gospel (Bible). For example, in John 8:54 Jesus told the Jews, "My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me." Whereas the author of the Qur'an insists that although Jesus' conception did not involve sperm-egg interaction, Jesus is the son of Mary and not the son of God. It leaves one to wonder how Jesus could be "son of Mary" when all Mary did was carry God's miracle to delivery and yet Jesus could not be the son of the God who made the miracle happen.


In the attempt to clear the issue the author of the Qur'an asked a question which was implied as having a ready and clear answer. Yes, it does, but that answer is found in the Bible's narration of the events preceding the conception of Jesus. This is because the Qur'an's position on God who created and knows all things was challenged in that same verse the position was taken by that question in the Qur'an. And it tells the wise and discerning something about the author of the book.

See the Quran's question and the Bible's simple answer below.

THE QUESTION(Quran 6:101):

"[He is] Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He does not have a [female] companion and He created all things? And He is, of all things, Knowing." (Sahih International, English)

THE ANSWER (Bible, Luke 1:37):


"For with God nothing will be impossible."(NKJV)

An online petition against Guaranteed Trust Bank GTB started by a consumer rights advocacy group has gained more than 1,200 signatures as at the time of this publication.
The petition seeks to get the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN and Consumer Protection Council CPC to investigate what is termed unfair fee deduction by the bank.
