A young lady, named Obodo Amaka Felicity escaped death after getting shot by an unknown gunman on Tuesday, December 19, 2017. Obodo Amaka Felicity says she was shot on her way back from the market.

She further explained that she felt a sharp blow, like she had been hit with a stone, but had no idea she had been shot until she saw blood dripping down her body.

A chest x-ray was taken and it was revealed that the bullet is lodged close to her lungs and because of how delicate this area is, the bullet can't be removed at the moment.

She said;

"I was shot yesterday on my way back from the market by an unknown gunmen, I felt something like stone hit me and I kept walking until I started feeling the flow of blood down on my legs.

I have every reason to be grateful and thankful to God for giving me a second chance. Help me thank God, I also need your prayers cause the X-ray showed that the bullet is still resting on my lungs, it's in a very delicate area and cant be removed at the moment."

Ola's parents were our next door neighbour, we were good friends while growing up as he exuded so much life ..But just after his 10th birthday, he felt ill and wouldn't respond to all the anti malaria drugs he was given. Ola died, the doctor said he died of typhoid and that the story could have been different if he was brought earlier.

This is one of the many lives that are lost to self medication every year. The issue of self medication stems from the fundamental perspective a lot of people have towards illnesses and their symptoms. The sense of Deja Vu towards familiar symptoms of self diagnosed illnesses is what prompts a lot of people to indulge in self medication.

Also, the belief that over the counter (OTC) drugs which do not require a doctor's prescription do not have detrimental effects to one's health has also made lots of people a victim of this raging pandemic.

THE RISKS

THE RISK OF NEGLECTING THE UNDERLYING CONDITION is one of the major risks of self medication. With self medication, you tend to leave out the root problem which is the real illness and focusing on the symptoms. Symptoms like persistent fever and rash could be associated with underlying medical conditions that require proper diagnosis to be effectively treated. In some cases, such as diabetes or heart disease, letting symptoms go unchecked could increase your risk of developing serious complications.

ANTIBIOTICS MISUSE.

Antibiotics have the ability to destroy harmful bacteria, but their misuse can have dangerous effects. Taking antibiotics when you do not have a bacterial infection or illness can lead to resistance, When this happens, bacteria develop the ability to resist the effects of antibiotics, which prevents them from working effectively. The bacteria can then multiply, resulting in higher numbers of bacteria that are resistant to your medications.

Bacteria can also share this resistance with other types of bacteria, including harmful and beneficial ones. When you have the common cold or another viral infection, for example, taking antibiotics for it will not get rid of the virus. Instead, it will cause beneficial bacteria to build up a resistance and share that resistance with any harmful bacteria that are present.

INNACURATE DOSAGE

The dangers of self-medication can be life-threatening when inaccurate dosages are taken. When you estimate your own dosage, you are at risk of taking enough to result in an accidental overdose.

Conversely, if you take a dosage that is too small, it is not likely to be effective and you may become sicker. This can result in taking additional dosages in order to manage or relieve your symptoms, which can also lead to an overdose.
The practice of self-medication can, and does often, result in DEATH.

These and many more are the dangers attached to this popular but deadly act of ours and in a bid to save cost and time, self medication opens us up to more damage not only to our pockets but to our health and even takes time out of our hands. SO you ask yourself: IS IT WORTH THE RISK?

The Nigerian reggae-dancehall singer, Damini Ogulu, better known as ‘Burna Boy’, has decided to surrender to the police for questioning this December.

Can you Recall that the Lagos State Police Commissioner, Edgal Imohimi declared Burna a wanted person after his manager revealed that the violent robbery attack on singer Mr 2Kay was ordered by Burna Boy who wanted to teach the younger artiste ‘a lesson’ for daring to diss him on social media.

The management further disclosed that taking legal actions is dependent on the outcome of the talks between their lawyers and Eko Hotel, assuring that the public would be informed as the matter unfolds, meanwhile, Mr 2Kay is seemingly doing better since the attack. As compensation for all he’s been through recently, the singer got himself a Mercedes.
