Visit any General hospital near your location.
It's a straight forward procedure. Not expensive.
Done by senior medical officers, urologists, General surgeons.

Its costly and a sub major op. Na consultant dey do am

EmekaBlue:
I hate anything operation. The body can heal itself for many diseases and so outside there. Just good healthy living solve many issues and increase life span

This one jus dey cap
So if you have a tumor or bleeding inside your brain or abdomen,you go wait for your body to heal itself abi. Dey play

Northernblood8:

prinsam30:
Ur very correct, once I start feeling uncomfortable on my lips area omo I know malaria is around the corner, chap chap I don fire am I no like nonsense ooo

Its not malaria. Its most likely herpes labialis. Just apply lip ointments and take paracetamol,and you'll be good. Those viral infections are self limiting

Jerchance:
Even doctors make that mistake. When you say joint pains, fever, nausea , weakness, etc they will suggest malaria and recommend for Malaria test, before full blood count.

We recommend the two tests at the same time. Like they say in medical school, common things happen commonly

olarent:
My contributions is that everyone of us should try to get proper rest and be conversant with our herbs, I meet a grandfather of 97years old today still much more active like 60s I asked him what is the secret of his good health which he told me that the herbs we ignore in Africa is the best.

now to clean ur liver and kidney once a month we not cost me more than lime orange
ingredients

for those that understand yoruba
ejirin leaf, Eyinlolobeso leaf and lime orange combine of the leaf just extract 3spoon and and 1spoon of lime drinks this once a month to clean ur liver and kidney.

we need to know all this to stay healthy.

Those leaves you're using to 'clean' your liver and kidney can actually cause problems to those organs when taken in some quantities. Those organs dont need your intervention to work properly

Lovelydaisies:
Once I've been exposed to mosquitoes and it's been at least a month or two since my last malaria treatment, once I feel a headache, weakness, runny nose (sometimes a cough) and some other symptoms coming along, I prepare to treat malaria. It often is the case.

Currently on antimalarial treatment. The runny nose was almost non-stop yesterday. It just had to be malaria.

Runny nose isn't malaria. You most likely have a viral flu. Just take paracetamol and chlorpheniramine and you'll be fine. And yes lots of fluid.
Stop abusing antimalarials. Already ACT combination therapies are becoming ineffective because of abuse

frankson1:
Stop this joor...malaria can't be totally cleared from the system and it's also nice to run tests before medication.

Yes it can be cleared

TeachingNurse:
Yesterday, somebody told me:
“Nurse, I know it’s malaria. My body is hot, I’m weak, and I have headache.”

And honestly…
that sentence is one of the most common things healthcare workers hear in Nigeria.

The moment many people feel:
tired,
weak,
feverish,
body pain,
the next thing is:
“It’s malaria.”

But here’s the problem:

Not every fever is malaria.
Sometimes it is:
stress,
typhoid,
dehydration,
infection,
ulcer-related illness,
viral infection,
lack of sleep,
anxiety,
high blood sugar,
even severe exhaustion.

And sometimes… people keep treating “malaria” for weeks while the real problem keeps getting worse quietly.

I have seen people take antimalarial drugs multiple times without testing anything.
Some people practically use malaria drugs like paracetamol.

That’s dangerous.
Because when you keep treating what you assume instead of what is actually happening:
you waste money,
delay proper treatment,
stress the liver,
and sometimes damage your health further.

One thing many people don’t know is this:
Malaria symptoms overlap with many other illnesses.

That is why proper testing matters.
A simple test can save you from:
wrong medication,
unnecessary drug use,
and complications.

Another issue is self-medication culture.
In Nigeria, many people become their own doctor, pharmacist, and laboratory scientist overnight 😅

Small headache:
“Buy malaria drugs.”
Body weak:
“It’s malaria.”
Didn’t sleep well:
“Malaria is worrying me.”
Meanwhile the body may actually be crying for:
rest,
water,
nutrition,
proper diagnosis,
or medical attention.

This is not to say malaria is not common. It is.
Malaria is still a major health issue in Nigeria.
But the danger is assuming everything is malaria.

Sometimes the body is trying to warn you about something completely different.

And honestly, one of the biggest forms of preventive healthcare is this:

Stop normalizing guessing.
Test when necessary. Pay attention to your body. Ask questions. Seek proper care.

Your body is not a guessing game.
Have you ever treated “malaria” and later discovered it was something else? 👀

Let’s talk.

Thank you for this. I appreciate
However there are some errors in your post I'll indulge
From you post,you said fever can be as a result of
ulcer-related illness,lack of sleep,anxiety,high blood sugar. Its completely wrong.
The problem is Nigerians dont know what fever is! Yep you read it right. A typical Nigerian would have malaise,headache,muscle ache and tell me hes having fever.
I can't count the number of time I have had to explain and explain what fever is. So to save myself some stress,I simply ask 'do you have temperature' or' is your body hot'
Another misconception is mosquito bites. Someone would have mosquito bites and rush antimalarial. That is completely wrong. Not all bites would cause malaria,even if your whole body is covered with bites. For a bite to cause malaria,it would have to come from an infected female anopheles. So the bite may be a dry bite from an uninfected mosquito.
Yet another misconception is folks taking antimalarial to prevent malaria. This one is committed by anxious parents who dont want their wards to have malaria while in boarding school. Don't do this. Simply give mosquito nets or anti mosquito creams. The only folks that need malaria prevention are pregnant women,sickle cell patients and expatriates not born and bred in tropics
I can go on and on,but I'm tired. Maybe I'll do a topic about it one day

BennyDGreat:
No be devil dey cause sickness?

No sir. Diseases are caused by micro organisms or malfunctioning body mechanisms

Precious201010:
Luke an apostle of Jesus Christ was a doctor, the bible never told anyone not to seek medical help when needed.... Rather the bible says God has given us herbs for healing...

We only use prayer to back up the medication, 2 people can enter a theatre for same operation, one can make it while the second might not make it...

I've also seen where church raised money for a member to for for treatment, including prophet tb Joshua.

So what is the use of prayers?
Why not pray for the disease to disappear, instead of praying for a successful surgical operation?
You christians need to use your grey matter

BennyDGreat:
K


The preacher and the doctors are fighting the same devil. It's not wrong to seek medical help.

The anointing upon the man is for the work. If that same man needs anything, he would need to use his faith for it.

So...he did the right thing.

By the way, Can you explain Paul's thorn in the flesh?

Wtf. Which devil are doctors fighting?

poshestmina:
It's common sense to seek for medical help when you are sick .
So because na Pastor make him siddon one place wait for death.

It's always too easy for you people to criticise
tueh!

Did you read through his post properly? He didn't lambast the pastor for going to the doctors. The issue was the man was selling miracles but yet couldn't get helped miraculously
You christians dont use your grey matter

Jayhome24:
Oh my God your first point I read I was wondering who trained you?

Pls you these kid how come your paleh and Maleh trained most of you and failed to impact you sensibly?

If dem born you well go and hit any herbalist in your area and refused to apologise and let's see if you will survive the next 24 hours without going naked to market place, your head go correct.

Nonsense!!!

This is the regular bullshit I hear when I ask someone to prove juju. Oga,why do you want me to commit physical assault on an old man before your juju is proven? Are you aware its a crime? Simply prove your juju and shut it! Tell the juju man to make me go blind,or something

foleskay:
Ok. Isaac Newton was Muslim. Happy now!

Please check his religion up. He's not a regular Christian. His views are heretic by today's standards

correctguy101:
Calm down oga. I wasn't even quoting you. Wherever did you now see me saying you called any thing spiritual?

And I kid you not. There were times where the common sicknesses today were attributed to the spirits. Or you even forgot even twins were wrongfully labelled evil omen?

Sorry I misunderstood you. Yeah,they were attributed to demons but thankfully for science, their etiology have been found

bobestman:
This one just happened today. Some kidnappers fell asleep where they went to kidnap. If you ask jaephoenix he will say they drank sleeping tablet on the scene that's why they slept off 😂😂 just cos he don't believe in juju

What is the source of this news? So u just believe any story bloggers post? No wonder. I'm not that gvllbl sir

bobestman:
You are right
Spirituality is ahead of them all and their origin
Our ancestors provided solution to all those problems in herbs but when science came they studied those herbs and use them to create drugs and one blind man dey argue that his science is the best. Science that's only a child to spirituality. Our spirituality is the mother of science

Your ancestors couldn't treat sickle cell,measles,polio etc which has been k!llng children til the white man brought scientific drugs. And what the actual fvckery do u mean 'spirituality is the mother of science'? The kind of rubbish I'm hearing today is fantastic

bobestman:
It's not about proving anything. Your mind has been conditioned that athiesm is best for you so no matter what I tell you it will never register on on your strong head 😂

Oga as you have evidence for your atheism so people have for believing in religion ot spirituality. The same way they can't convince you is same way you can't convince them. Your strong head is the problem here 😂 untill such thing happen to you one day....e go first blur for your eyes

I work with evidence, if you present evidence of spirituality,I would accept it.

correctguy101:
Even malaria was once the handiwork of the gods... And only the native doctors in town could help placate them for the right herbs to use

But today? It's no longer the case.

Many of these issues you call spiritual have been handled outside our shores differently without attaching anything spiritual to them. They've been studied, are being studied and steady progress is being made with clear and positive results.

So, you can ask him to handle it with prayers but please don't try to discourage him from seeing a mental specialist.

It's vital many of us understand what spiritual indicates. Ordinary dimensional differences, we don rush dey say spiritual.

Malaria was never termed a handiwork of gods.
Also I have never called any issues spiritual,stop all these lies.
Mala

bobestman:
I have known you here for a very long time and perfectly understand your beliefs and how you always want to proov your science and athiesm is best for humanity. All I can tell you is that you are in error. You believe in science cos of your evidence. I believe in spirituality and humanity cos of my own evidence and things I have seen

Lol you will never believe untill it hit you one day. They don't need to prove it but to hit you with watin no good one day. The same way the op don't believe but now he is facing a spiritual case. This his case might be a spell cast on him too. They play unti it hit you one day

Lol. There is only one evidence. There is no 'many types of evidence'. Evidence can be reproduced anywhere,anytime and by one. Can the evidence of your spirituality be reproduced? No
And how did you know the op is an atheist?
And why is it that anytime I ask Christians for evidence of anything,instead of preferring the evidence they tell me so so so would hit me? Are you guys such sadists? Not that I'm afraid,but its becoming funny

femi4:
Your answer show you never did

Again,what did the space exploration do that suggest science points to god?

Gotocourt:
Ayotolallah Ali Khamenei yet to be buried 9weeks after. His successor and son Ayatollah Mojtaba is believed to dead despite the regime claiming he's injured and undergoing treatment.
They've been put in check 🤷🏿.

Lets assume all you said is true
Isn't it wonderful that a country without a leadership has fought the US,a world power, and Israel,a strong country,and still managed to hold its own? Although they took damages,they managed to destroy 12 US bases, planes and equipment worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Israel lost all their air defense and many cities. They control the Strait and in a position of power to cut deals with the US. Trump cannot bomb them cos the repercussions would be terrible

nairalanda1:
Even then it won't reduce oil.and fuel prices yet.

Oil installations have been damaged, plus the Hormuz strait may have been mined ie floating bombs in the sea. Its going to take months before things go back to normal

You're talking months? Analysts are estimating years. The GCC countries are worse off. Oil spills take time to mop. Mines are there to sweep. If it takes 1 year,its quick
All because Trump had a stvpid idea

femi4:
Did you watch the last moon exploration

Yes we did,what about it

femi4:
Yes....even science point to the direction that God exist

Which science?
You christians would wake up and be feeding yourselves with lies

mysticwarrior:
We dont chain psychotic patients. Those were your words.

The chains you depicted in that pic is not in use in psychiatric hospitals. We use straitjackets
That picture was not taken in a psychiatric hospital,it was in the community,probably street

Kobojunkie:
I wouldn't be so sure it isn't. It is possible that there were dissociative symptoms, but he did not pay mind to them, as many people don't.😒

There's no dissociative symptoms. Besides he has insight, which is a good symptom

foleskay:
If not for Christianity, this world would still be in total darkness.

The greatest scientists who brought enlightenment were devout Christians.

Isaac Newton

Michael Faraday.

Newton wasnt a Christian and it wasnt your god that made such scientific discoveries, it was scientific observations

bobestman:
Hahaha the way you believe you have prove in what you believe is also same way others believe they have prove in what they chosed to believe

The difference between us is i believe in science,which can be proven anytime,anyday,anywhere. For example,i can prove if i pour acid on paper,it will dissolve.
You can't prove your spirituality. If I ask anyone to prove odieshi is real,all I hear is go to one obscure village

bobestman:
Oga stop the games. Am beyond that

Your ancestors are those who came before you. Your great grand fathers. It could also be those who were here when the earth began. They are highly spiritual people who work with nature and di great things. So some of us have some traits that they have. They know how to deal with this kind cases. They existed when science was nature. Science is manipulating nature to get what they want. Whatever they do have their root in nature. Your believe I. Bible doesn't matter.

This post reeks of pure ignorance.
You dont know what science is. If I ask you to prove your spirituality,I'll have another round of 'dem talk say'
If u can't prove anything, then this convo is useless

bobestman:
All your replies here shows your case is not a mental case but spiritual. If you follow him cos you hate spirituality you might become a customer in psychiatrist Institution

You only hear them. They aren't hurting you but just laugh. Things that might cause it
You might be a spiritual person but refuse to answer or follow the path. Your spiritual forces might do all that to get you back. Some who refused to answer their calling ran mad

It might be a spell cast on you by someone who hate you to make you uncomfortable and be running around. Are your hands clean? Do you hurt people?

First confront this people without fear first and see if they will leave or say what they want? That's how you know the problem. If you are spiritual you could pray and command them to leave you

Their is nothing wrong being spiritual or religious. All have their Truths and some wrong. They always ha e a way to handle this. I feel you are a spiritual person who don't want to follow that path. Atheism will make you nothing. When you believe in nothing and kill the inner voice within you, you become nothing even when gone

Can you prove all this spiritual hullabaloo,ir is it just another case of dem say
