Righteousness2:
Looks lovely and beautiful, but it is crap when compared to What JESUS Christ has for All who will make it to the Heaven.

It is nothing compared to What GOD has prepared in the streets of Gold for those who truly love and live for HIM.

Do not get entangled in the things of this world to detriment of your soul.
In all you DO, live in the Conciousness of your Eternity. Run to JESUS CHRIST and be Saved

Have you been to heaven?

Sammiegreg:
I was finally diagnosed of glaucoma this year and thank God it was detected early. I am on eye drops now. So he should go to Lasuth so that the other eye can be preserved. One thing thing about glaucoma is that there is no cure except miracle and the remaining eye sight needs to be preserved.

Glaucoma usually follows some chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension and sickle cell. Hope the ophthalmologists checked you out for them

Glaucoma causes gradual loss of sight. And for him to lose his sight, it has been giving him signs like loss of peripheral vision. This loss of peripheral vision means you won't be objects in the corner of your sight but central vision is preserved, meaning he can see directly if he looks straight. Gradually this peripheral keeps getting worse til the central vision is lost. And that's lights out. And this takes months or years.
For him to be ignoring this is plain stupidity. They would keep on praying and fasting til their sight goes. And Nigerians don’t take their health serious. They tell you they have supernatural health and do no regular checks.
Unfortunately when that optic disc is destroyed by the intraocular eye pressure we can't do much. There are experimental procedures we can attempt but its too expensive ad not 100% guaranteed. There are philantropic opthalmologists or agencies offering free eye surgeries. You can drop his location so I can check when next they show around his region.

Maynman:
How did the agnostic come up with the idea of a “god”, where did he learn that word from?
Is just like me proposing whether “htjshsidnf” exist or not.
Now, what’s “htjshindf”? How did i come up with it?
Let the agnostics explain how they came up with “god” to know if it’s something that can exist or not.
Agnostics are just wannabe Monotheists!

That was my exact thought when I was going through DeepInsight's post

MaxInDHouse:
Knowledge is like food for the mind just as the literal food brings satisfaction and nourishment knowledge also brightens the countenance of a living soul.
So the first question we need to answer is:

Why do humans feel the need for a SUPREME BEING?

We all know why we eat literal food therefore we need to figure out why we often try to have the knowledge about our Creator!

Meanwhile MadMax, your folks are now doing exploits.

Ken4Christ:
Proverbs 13:11 (New Living Translation)
Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.

Proverbs 28:22 (New Living Translation)
Greedy people try to get rich quick but don’t realize they’re headed for poverty.


These are words from the richest King of his days.

That translation was obviously a corruption and recently created by myopic people like you. The original verse of Proverbs 13:11 New International Version says
Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow


And

Proverbs 13:11
New King James Version
Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, But he who gathers by labor will increase

Proverbs 28:22
New International Version
The stingy are eager to get rich and are unaware that poverty awaits them

New King James Version
A man with an evil eye hastens after riches, And does not consider that poverty will come upon him

Stay away, MadMax. This convo is way above your paygrade

OLAADEGBU:
Knock it off! No one challenged Elisha to a contest.

I meant Elijah, not Elisha. Those 2 names confuse me. Elijah was challenged by Baal prophets, true or false?

Ken4Christ:
Certainly not. Wealth is part of God's promise for his children. But the scripture cautions against quick rich schemes such as betting, gambling and ponzi schemes. Such wealth does not last. Durable riches comes from God alone.

Can you show me in 'the scriptures' where yhwh cautioned gambling and ponzi, kind sire?

Jackanda1:
This thread seeks to educate believers who are fond of this site.
What makes you think i blame any one for my misfortune?

Reread your first post. You blamed atheists for your bad luck and misfortunes.
These are people that haven't harassed you in the street, handed fliers to you, shouted at you from pulpits nor have a functioning televangelist in Nigeria. The truth is this. You're actively trying to suppress your logical and intelligent reasoning which religion is trying to mute. Atheists are passive posters. We rarely open topics here in religion. Check out all the topics. 99% are theist oriented and 100% of those make it to the front page because the mods are obviously theists.
So get your priorities right, bro

OLAADEGBU:
God is under no obligation to perform a miracle at the whim of one of His creations.

You can read the full article at https://answersingenesis.org/logic/formal-fallacies/.

Oh yeah, he is. Remember Elisha? Baal's prophets challenged him to a contest. And guess what? Your yahweh gave him a leg up.
So don't come telling me trash here. Its when someone is incapable that's when they look for excuses

I flitter between agnosticism and atheism. Prolly leaning more to the later

Ken4Christ:
Godliness is not gain. Rather, godliness with contentment is great gain.

So you're content with poverty?

Ken4Christ:
I am serious. The Christian life is a Super life. Unfortunately, not all Christians know their rights in Christ. This is why they fall victims of the wicked ones.

Just embrace Christ and you will thank me later.

We are the new supermen on earth.

Abeg nah, predict this weekend EPL match for me. If you are right, I'll believe you. I mean it. I'll convert to christianity and know that truly, your god is God

BarrElChapo:
Personally I discounted it. It’s a dangerous drug

How is it dangerous?

Ken4Christ:
Superiority is not about wealth. It's about the quality of life in me. For instance, you can die by food poisoning but it can't kill me.

You can be afflicted with incurable disease that can defy medical cure but I can't.

Besides, I through the power of the Holy Spirit knows certain things that are about to happen but you are spiritually blind.

I can cast out demons but you can't.

The life in me is a better life. It is a higher life and it is a glorious life. Come and taste and see how beautiful that life is.

Lol. Shey you dey whine me ni
Now this is getting juicier and tastier.
Bro, are you talking about yourself alone or are other Christians included?
I remember vividly many truer and professing christians dying violently especially in Northern Nigeria. Also remember many Christians dying from several diseases. I know you'll give us this No true Scotsman's fallacy which is common among theists.
Bro, since you can predict stuff abeg give me sure odds for bet

Ken4Christ:
I am not in the same class with you. You have the ordinary life. I have the supernatural life of God in me. I am far superior to you. Try and upgrade your life.

What is this?! Seriously?
Dude are you this dense?
How are superior?
Are you wealthier? Smarter? Healthier? Etc.
Lol. These theists no go kee me
Never laughed this hard in a while

The drug is a cortisteroid, took it many years ago when I was teenager when I was into body building.

It's makes you so so hungry, you cant eat two derica of rice at a sitting

Its a banned drug in athletes cos of It's this

acewines:
You just dropped a big bombshell

March go where??

@op hope you've heard/read what he said

You complained that GH Gbagada is too small despite the undeveloped land,right?Simply march to the governor and ask him to develop it.What is difficult there?

acewines:
Ok

But as big as that place is plus the empty lands at the back, I think they should expand or employ more

What if it's something serious, anyways I think the op needs to find an alternative to the medication

You can write your governor at Alausa, or better still mobilize and march there en masse to plead with him to expand the hopsital. They wont listen to us.
About the OP's case, he should get another brand of dexamethasone like Dectancyl or Dexonal. Those are foreign(I think European) brands. Dexamethasone is safe.Full stop

acewines:
This is not about overcrowding or something

Had an accident and I was bleeding from my right ear, I went to GH gbagada and I given a card with 2months appointment date, as it wasn't that serious like b4 I waited for the time to come, I went back there and I was given another 1month and I asked,she said the ENT isn't available for now, 1 month came, she gave the 3rd date,tho 2weeks. I left the 2 weeks came I went to the place I was asked to stay, some minutes later she came in and said they have reached the number of people (18) that the specialist could see for the day out of annoyance,I told her how I've been posted severally, she gave a nonchalant comment, I threw the card over the canter to where she sat and stormed out, I left the hospital,5mins later my phone rang and I answered, only for the person to tell me to come back that she has written my name there.. I didn't answer her but to apologize for my actions earlier and I haven't gone to any hospital to check on my ear.. still hearing a little bit of noise inside it

When I'm chanced will visit the military hospital for yaba

Its the same thing we're saying, overcrowding. If the capacities were enlarged and more doctors employed,do you think there would be crowds and postponements(like you had)? In advanced countries, you'll easily see doctors, but you pay through your nose.
I think why they called you back was that the ENT specialist heard about your postponements and decided to take your case out of pity. These specialists usually do rounds after the clinic, so they have to leave that clinic early

DearGorgeous:
Bros, I am happy I didn't take that antibiotic, abeg. And I'm grateful for the Pharmacist that advised me.

Whatever rocks your boat.
The antibiotic wasn't dangerous, you are too gullible

LagBlogger:
It is not funny because some doctors are incompetent and yes pharmacists know drugs better than doctors.

All drugs have side effects but their side effects varies. Some are mild while others are strong.

Avoid drugs with strong side effects because the doctor will not be able to save you nor will he accept blame when the worst happens.

Don't give people medical advise you are not qualified to give because it is life we are talking about here not merely an ailment.

The same way we have incompetent docs is the same way we have incompetent pharmacies. Like in this OP's case, the pharmacist is incompetent because s/he said dexamethasone is banned when it was actually the brand Xasten that was banned/substandard.
YES we know the side effects of drugs before prescriptions and we anticipate them,in fact,we use the side effect as therapeutic use. If I have a hypertensive with poor sleep, that has catarrh, I would prefer chlorpheniramine to loratidine as an anticatarrh because of it is has a more sedative effect

Ken4Christ:
You are of your father, the devil who is the father of lies. But he is a defeated foe. And you will join him in the Lake of fire unless you repent.

Lol. The usual garbage I get from christians when they are stumped or run out of ideas.
Have a nice day, bro

mignone:
Same way they discouraged us from using chloroquine for malaria, instead they introduced a athemeter nonsense so people will have to keep coming back to buy meds.

Another ignorant Nigerian gladly displaying ignorance.
Chloroquine was discouraged because y'all Nigerians abused the hell out of it, causing the malaria to be resistant to it. It became almost useless. Now even the artemether lumefantrine combination is not effective because you guys have still abused the hell out of it.
Patients just meet me 'Doctor i want to treat malaria, I have treated it for 2 years' or they say 'Doctor, mosquitoes bit me yesterday, I want to treat malaria'.Even after advising them not to take antimalarials, they still ignore me and take it. Same issue we see for antibiotics.
Are you now blaming WHO for your stupidity?

DearGorgeous:
Op listen to the Pharmacist. I've had similar personal experience in the past. The doctor recommended a drug for me to buy at the hospital's pharmacy (a Federal Government Hospital for that matter).

May God bless that pharmacist. She advised me not to buy the recommended drug. I asked why? She told me it causes kidney failure and liver problems. She said it'll surely cure what I was taking it for, but a bigger problem will arise later. She advised that I google the side effects of the drug when I get home. Seeing her deep care and sincerity, I opted for the alternative drug she introduced to me right at the counter. And I was perfectly ok after taking them.

And through to her words, the side effects were very scary. It's an antibiotic. You can't take it before or after meal. You take it while eating. If you disobey, you face the repercussion immediately. I named it Satanic Drug!

Lol. This is seriously funny. A pharmacist told you not to take a drug because it causes kidney failure, and you disobeyed your doctor? Please you should have asked that pharmacist which drugs doesn't have organ failure as a side effect?
The truth is all drugs are poison. And that includes the pills, herbs, agbo etc. Anything that alters the body physiology is a drug. The paracetamol y'all abuse causes liver failure. The ibuprofen/ibucap/diclofenac causes kidney failure. Does it mean if you take it according to doc prescription you'll have organ failure? No! First thing, the doc won't prescribe it if you already have an organ failure, and if he does, it is for short period and he has weighed the pros outweighs the cons.

acewines:
I hate anything government hospital

I bought one drugs there according to the doctor's prescription and they covered the name with paper, after it got finished, I removed it only to see that it's tramadol...

My guy was stooling blood,na so general hospital for gbagada tell am to come back in 2 months time that that's when the specialist will be around.. now judge the matter

Hospitals cover drug names because Nigerians abuse drugs seriously, as in crazy abuse. So they are right, though patient has the right to know the name of the drug s/he is taking.
General and Teaching Hospitals are overbooked. If you have an urgent case, no need going there, just go to a private hospital. In this case your bro was stooling blood, he should have been admitted depending on the severity, but even at that, they are overcrowded. Even today, I sent an emergency case to GH Gbagada, and they bounced them. Same as LUTH and LASUTH. No space

oka4ugoo:
Doctors from government hospital . Just visit that doctor's private clinic tomorrow and you will be surprised that he will recommend for ur daddy a better different drugs.

You better go back to that pharmacist and ask him or her to give you a better alternative drug because as far as am concern the one you bought na original fake drug.

Aside from surgical operations, I believe pharmacists more than I believe doctors when it comes to drugs that's why with just ur lab result you can visit professional pharmacists (not chemists oo) for drug

This right here is a typical Nigerian, very ignorant but proud in his ignorance.
You want a pharmacist to prescribe a med for a diagnosis s/he didn't make. Really? The pharmacist that doesn't know the disease disease pathology and complications?
In one fell swoop, you casted all the government doctors into the trash can, but you're forgetting private practice doctors refer patients to government hospitals which include tertiary health institutions like Teaching and Specialist Hospitals. These hospitals are where you have the best professors in the medical field. But somehow, you prefer a pharmacist's prescription to theirs. Or if you have tetanus infection, multiple myeloma etc, you'll rush to a pharmacist?
And no, you aren't better off with visiting a pharmacist with lab tests because lab tests does not give the complete picture of a disease. You need a doctor to examine and take history. Some lab tests are plain useless, example is Widal test. Now this test has been abandoned a long time ago but roadside labs still swindle ignorant folks like you to do it, and they tell you your titer is high and prescribe drugs for you that you have typhoid fever. Lol
Til now, I still get patients sending me test results like Widal and Malaria parasite test, asking me to prescribe drugs for them. I ignore most of them. Some I take history from them.
About the OP's case, here's what I know.
Dexamethazone is very much a safe drug. We use it in a range of disease like allergies, shock, premature labor etc. What is the issue here is the brand of dexamethazone here which is Xasten. NAFDAC found out Xasten, Destrax, Dexacure etc contain substandard amount of the dexamethazone. Meaning the dexamethazone is not up to 0.5mg in each tab. So, the doctor is right by telling you to get dexamethazone. He doesn't know the actual brand youre buying. The pharmacist is wrong(or maybe you misunderstood him/her) in saying dexamethazone is banned or fake. She should have told the doctor the particular brand is substandard and not tell him dexamethazone is not safe.

Ken4Christ:
Christ is still the reference point for both dating systems. Jesus is Lord. No one can contest it.

No he isnt, unfortunately. Remove your head from the sand

Ken4Christ:
Jericho was part of the land given to the children of Israel. So, they had fight to possess it.

Yeah, and kill everyone in it, right?

Ken4Christ:
The reference you are citing are God's judgment on ungodly people.

He is a God of love and also a God of judgment.

The destruction of the Amalekite was in revenge of what they did to the children of Israel. Read the full story.

Isreal fought three kinds of battles

1. To take over the land God gave to them.
2. To defend themselves against hostile nations.
3. To avenge those who attacked them.

I specifically said Jericho, but you dodged it. What sin did the Jericho folks commit?
By the way as a god of love, the only way he can show love to the heathens was to kill them? What stops him from sending preachers/prophets to Jericho?
