1. Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease. It a deadly disease that can cause death.
2. The virus is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person. It is also transmitted through dirty water or contaminated food.
3. An estimated 257 million people are living with hepatitis B virus infection (defined as hepatitis B surface antigen positive). Two million Nigerians were reported to be carriers.
4. In 2015, hepatitis B resulted in 887, 000 deaths, mostly from complications (including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma).
5. Hepatitis B is an important occupational hazard for health workers. However, it can be prevented by currently available safe and effective vaccine.
6. The infection is very difficult to cure, especially with conventional medicine.
7. Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is a major global health problem. It can cause chronic infection and puts people at high risk of death from cirrhosis and liver cancer.
8. A vaccine against hepatitis B has been available since 1982. The vaccine is 95% effective in preventing infection and the development of chronic disease and liver cancer due to hepatitis B.
9. Hepatitis B virus can survive outside the body for at least 7 days. During this time, the virus can still cause infection if it enters the body of a person who is not protected by the vaccine. The incubation period of the hepatitis B virus is 75 days on average, but can vary from 30 to 180 days. The virus may be detected within 30 to 60 days after infection and can persist and develop into chronic hepatitis B.

Question for You
Can one just travel back with only backpack and start hunting for this gem stone.
Hope the villagers no go just vex?

You must go with high wired diplomacy and some cash in your pocket.

joinnow:
Some years ago went to a colleague wedding at bauchi. In the morning went outside and saw blue and green shining stones. I was like

Those blue shining stones might be Sapphire

Hepatitis B is a very dangerous disease. I contacted it sometime in 2012. I spent a lot of money trying to treat myself, but each time I ran a test, the deadly disease always showed in my blood. I was so scared and felt miserable. My eyes were yellow, my fingernails were yellow, my urine and saliver were all yellow! I had already started concluding some of the businesses I had with people preparing for the inevitable before something happened that changed everything.
It was early 2013 that someone told me that the local name was yellow fever. I called my Mum in the Village and told her; because before then, I had no idea on how to explain the sickness to my parents. The name Hepatitis B sounded so strange to me then. But surprisingly, my Mum was calm and asked me not to worry myself that our Village had trusted cure for yellow fever! That many people from the big cities and abroad do come to my Village to collect the medicine by referrals from their friends. She asked me to come back home. I traveled to my Village in Enugu and took the medicine as directed by the Traditional Doctor (herbs, roots and leaves). After two weeks of concluding the treatment, I went for another test and behold, there was no trace of Hepatitis B in my system! The Lab people were equally surprised. Since then, I have helped more than 60 people to get treated.
Any interested person should call me on 08130799304, 08058891743, WhatsApp: +2348130799304 or visit: https://hepatitisdesk..com.ng/

l know nothing about gemstones, but am interested in its buying and selling . pls how can we start.

You start by registering a Company and obtaining an Export License. If you need me to do it for you, inbox me here.

Madam, you didn't do well, but it is far far easier to live with a bad conscience than a bad reputation. Save your marriage if you are wise!

It all started sometimes in 2011 at Federal Housing, Lugbe, Abuja. I was diagnosed with the deadly disease called Hepatitis B. What a name! In fact, that was my first time of hearing the name.The Lab attendant at FHA scared the shit out of me when she told me that it kills faster than AIDS! I did quick research on the name and was alarmed that this was a very dangerous disease! I was still a single guy then. I quickly traveled back my memory lane and scanned through those 'unholy movements' we unmarried guys usually make, and concluded that this must be the judgement of the gods on my head! But I was assured by the same Nurse that it could be contacted through many means and not necessary sexual intercourse.
I spent a lot of money trying to treat it, but it continued to show in my blood whenever I ran a test. Someone later told me that the local name was yellow fever. It was then that I decided to inform my Mum in the Village because initially, I did not know how to explain the name to my parents.
I then called my Mum in my village in Enugu. I was surprised that she was clam and told me not to worry myself. She told me to come back to village that there was a trusted medicine that treats 'yellow fever' completely. And that people come from the big cities and abroad to collect the medicine regularly by referrals from their friends.
Out of frustration with conventional medicine, and because this was my own Mum, I decided to give it a trial. I went to my Village in Enugu to collect the medicine and took it as directed (made up of herbs, roots & leaves). I went to test after the treatment. Behold, there was no longer any trace of Hepatitis B in my system! The Lab Attendant was surprised and asked me what magic! I told her that we had a local medicine that treats Hepatitis B in my Village. She confided to me that the conventional treatment they gave people was for the management and not complete cure of the sickness.
The interesting part of this story is that the Lab started bombarding me with request to get the medicine for their patients. (that is after collecting huge sums from the patients in the name of treatment) Initially I was reluctant because of the stress involved, but I later caved in.
I had no idea of medicine before then, but that was how I was transformed into an unwilling medicine man! Some who live in the South will call and I will direct them to my village or arrange for the medicine to be sent to them. Others who stay here in the North will call and I will make arrangements for the medicine for them. I have so far helped more than 60 patients to get treated.
I am only helping people because I nearly lost my life to this disease. Most of them usually take me out to buy me beer after they got well. Some who would not touch beer will say, big thank you to me. And the Medicine man will always bring me palm wine and bush meat any time I traveled home because of the number of patients I sent him or medicines I order from him.

Anxiety does not solve any problem. What will be will be. Turbulence during flights will always occur once in in while, but the simplest way to stay calm is to quickly reset your brain assuring it that turbulence in itself does not cause air mishap. Then if you are the beer type, you keep sipping your beer.

samuel25:
is there anybody on this platform that based in Oyo state who is ready to carry me along (train or teach) in this business of gemstones

I can train you anywhere in Nigeria. Oyo is a very good place to start. There is many Miners in Ibadan and environs. It is only Keffi and Jos that can compete with Oyo in terms of Mining activities in Nigeria.

This is the worst thing to happen to Nigeria at this point of her National life. Kill PDP & create another name with the same actors without the baggage of PDP. APC has unwittingly destroyed itself. Those moralists who find the Name, PDP so smelling will now have the excuse to form a solid alliance with the New name with the same actors.
APC, no doubt is a disaster. PDP has bad name. So the need for another name with the same actors! And the circle continues!

[quote author=aubventure post=56980554][/quote]
I have replied you.

Papertrail11:
I would love to branch into this declared I treat 2013 but it just died would try and get into the game BTW between mining cutting and dealing which pays?

All pays depending on you. Mining takes time to mature. You need to learn new skills to be able to cut Gemstones. You must also go through the learning curves to deal on Gems.

Why is it that Nigerian Politicians had refused to learn from History? The same imposition of candidates that led PDP to self destruct is still the most fancied methodology of conducting elections by the 'Holy' APC.
It is very obvious to a discerning mind that the APC is on the fast land to self destruction. I pray it does not destroy Nigeria along the line.

Commercial Farming in Nigeria is no doubt, on the rise. This is partly as a result of sudden realization by many businessmen and women that farming is indeed a money spinning business. Abuja the Federal Capital is one of the areas in Nigeria where farming is highly lucrative because of the metropolitan nature of the City.
However, many intending farmers, businessmen and Agropreneurs find it extremely difficult to tap into this wealth generating business simply because of the difficulties and high cost of acquiring farmlands in the City. Some have also fallen into the hand of fraudsters while others have bought local farmlands that do not have any recognition by Law.
I hereby present to you verified and verifiable bonanza farmlands for sale in Abuja. These farmlands range from 200 hectares for large scale operations to few hectares for starters. I selected each based on the Title Document and competitiveness of the price. You will surely see what you want based on your need and pocket.

Can you drop your contact it or something

Otunba, it is against the rule of Nairaland to drop my contact here. However, you can inbox me here or check my signature to reach me.

Malami and his Board must look at the Gemstone Sub-Sector. That is where the money is. Nigeria has the largest Gem deposits in the World, but little or nothing is going on in that Sector. The quantum of Gem deposits in Nigeria has the potential to dwarf oil revenue if explored. See this article: www.nairaland.com/3811851/multi-billion-dollar-untapped-gemstone

HOW TO START GEMSTONE MINING IN NIGERIA:

The Gemstone Mining Industry in Nigeria is easy to enter with the right information. Contrary to public perception, you do not need millions of Naira to venture into the Untapped Multi Billion Dollar Gemstone Deposits in Nigeria. The information bellow is structured for new entrants. If you are already in the Gem Mining Industry, it will enhance your understanding of the Sector.

1. As a starter and learner, you are going to operate as a medium scale miner. That is, you are going to employ between five to 15 miners to do the work for you. You learn along the line. You can either operate along the Keffi axis or Ibadan axis depending on where you stay in Nigeria. Keffi axis covers the whole North Central and parts of Bauchi (where you have the largest gem deposits in Nigeria) Ibadan axis covers the whole of South West states of Oyo, Osun and parts of Ogun and Kogi. The best place to start in South West is Ibadan. But Keffi is the main octopus.

2. Gemstone mining in Nigeria is easy to enter if you are shown the right way because you do not need your own Mining License or pay workers to start. Many connected individuals have Mining Licenses, but do not carry out the mining operations. What we do is to locate those who have such Licenses and Sites, and partner with them. We take charge of the Site, hire miners (laborers), and sponsor the work. When we get minerals, it is shared according to pre agreed percentages. One percent goes to the Federal Government as Royalty as mandated by Law. The remaining 99% is shared between the License Holder and the Financier into 40% and 60% respectively. Some greedy License Holders will insist on fifty fifty. But that is not a problem since it is the Financier who controls everything. The License Holder settles the community (landowners) from his own share based on their pre operation agreement. The Financier settles his miners from his own share based on agreed percentage. The general practice is that the laborers sell their own share to the financier based on 'bush price'. It is considered a loss for a Financier to allow minerals from his site to be sold to an outsider except by him or herself.

3. To start, you need only three documents. That is, a registered Company, an Export License and Permit to Possess & Purchase minerals. You can start without the last paper, but you must get it before you start to handle any mineral. Whenever you are ready to sell, you must obtain another paper called Permit to Export Mineral for Commercial Purposes. That is the time when you pay the one percent Royalty Fee to the Government.
But anyone with the financial muscle can acquire his or her own Site and all the Mining Licenses and start as a large scale miner. I facilitate the acquisition of all the licenses mentioned above from Company registration to finding a Site and even hiring of seasoned miners. See: http://gemstonenews247..com.ng/p/consultancy-services.html

4. Now, you are good to go! Gemstone mining is generally done using manual labor and semi mechanization. You are going to need a generator and water pumping machine along the line when you get to water, but not in all cases. To start, you must buy tools for you boys ( shovel, digger, hammer, Chisel, Cutlass, hand gloves etc) You must buy cooking utensils, provide accommodation and food stuff. Accommodation does not cost much because of the location. Most of the time, it is usually free because the villagers are always eager to identify with the miners knowing fully well that there is enough bread along the way. When your boys sustain injury, you treat them. In some cases, you jam a rock. It means you have to blast your way through. Blasting does not cost much for insiders. There is manual drilling and machine drilling. It depends on your pocket.

5. If you are lucky, you reach minerals within the first six Months. Some times it may be up to a year or more depending on the mineral, location and topography.

6. You need to hire a Site manager who is a seasoned miner to coordinate activities for you. Such manger is also paid when you get minerals. One thing I found fascinating in the Gemstone Mining Industry is that everybody (landowners, Miners, Managers etc) understands the game: we all get dividends when we get product! And in that case, everyone is motivated to work harder by self interest! You must visit your boys once in a while. Once every week or two weeks is ok. And when going, you must bring something for the boys. Some smoke, some drink! That's the reality and that's mining for you! So, keep your religious and medical views to yourself if you want to hire good miners.

7. All in all, from licenses to Legal fees for Agreements and setting up the whole operation, you need to keep one Million Naira in your bank account to start. You are not going to spend the whole money at the same time, but your boys may be calling for one thing or the other without pre information. Injuries will always occur once in awhile. And feeding laborers is not feeding Bankers!
I welcome your comments and questions.
NB:
You can actually start with less than half of the amount suggested above, but you need to keep your budget within that range.

Tohsynetita1:
Am interested, how do I go about it?

@ Tohsynetita 1, inbox me here so I can send you the procedures.

iyerenath:
so how much are we putting into consideration here??on average??

@iyerenath, with N1m you are good to start. That is, Incorporation of Company, Export License, Legal fee for Agreements, logistics for recruitment of miners, Accommodation, familiarization visit to the host community, buying of tools, cooking utensils and food stuff etc, plus your working capital.
Inbox here me for the breakdown.

Buddhar:
How can I tap into this sector?

@Buddar, you can start mining any of the minerals. Contrary to public perception, it does not cost much to tap into it. You learn along the line.
Basically what you need is a registered company with Export License which do not cost much and are easy to obtain. In gemstone mining, you don't pay the workers or the Landowners upfront. Everybody gets paid when your pit starts producing based on pre agreed percentage. You only buy tools and feed the miners. And other logistics.

Mistymash:

@ kudosamass please, the 100 hectares you were offered is it before the university or after?

@Mistymash, it is along Nasarawa Toto Road. It is still available if you are interested.

The Solid Mineral Sector in Nigeria has more potential in terms of wealth and income generation than the Oil Sector. But lack of information on the existence of these minerals and the processes through which one can become an operator have left the Sector untapped. Contrary to public perception, the procedure through which one can obtain Mining Licenses in Nigeria has been liberalized and made easy; unlike during the Military era when you must belong to the elite to be able to operate in that Sector. Any Nigerian or Foreign investor can obtain these licenses easily through the procedures discussed bellow. The processes on face value might look complex, but in practice, they are easy to follow. Government fees are not much and you can hire the services of guides to direct you with little fee.
The Licences covered in this discussion are:
i. Reconnaissance Permit

ii· Exploration Licence

iii· Small Scale Mining Lease

iv· Mining Lease

v· Quarry Lease

vi· Water Use Permit

Land in Nasarawa is not owned by government but communally. You simply approach the indigenes who own the land, buy it off them, change the ownership at the LG level and proceed to NAGIS for R of O. So why buy farmland in Abuja when you can do same in Nasarawa at less the cost and less stress?

You are correct only that Abuja is more secured after all. I was offered a 100 hectares at Keffi here for N15m, but that same size in Abuja is above N60m plus settlement. Well, it all depends on who is buying.
