The whole problem in this country boil down to the disparities between the riches who are living a comfortable, happy life and those poor who are hungry and angry at the same time. Untill our leaders start bridging the existing wide gap between the extremely rich and poor, there will always be internal war and conflict. Class should be cut down. Taxation should be proportional to individuals income, and government should exempt those living in poverty level from paying tax that they don't even earn as income, and maybe give financial grant and aid on healthcare, accommodation and public services to the poor in the society. Citizens who are entitled to decent lives will not be interested in riots and civil protests. Life is glorious and worth living for the riches, but the poor are depressed and believe that they have nothing to lose even if hell is let lose. Nigerian Government policies are are beneficial and prospers the riches, while the poor are chastised and demoralized by the tough government policies and rules. This are economic issues of a modern time and the solution lies on economic deregulations and restructuring. Problems of a large populated society is more challenging and difficult to solve compare to a micro economy involving few populace in a smaller area of land, even with limited resources.
It is time for our political class to be attentive to voices at the grassroot. Perhaps a regional government which has been widely suggested by many elites could be a relevant solution in this critical and decisive time. Result could be of positive resolution if the idea of a zonal government could be adopted to facilitate independent management of the resources and crisis in each region. The use of brutal force against civilians will further exacerbate the fragile peace between security agents and citizens of this society. Government should consider that there are more than enough idle youths who are ready to risk their lives engaging with security agents. A listening ear is required in solving the problem on ground , and that should be the position of our government hitherto.

the nigerian govt is weaponizing poverty to easily retain power. They do not want to make the lives of the people better. They want it just the way it is so the people can remain subject to them . When a few becomes agitated, they throw them crumbs to pacify them. We would only get redemption by kicking them all out. The present political class are the common enemy . They have weakened all institution and brought them under control. They call the shots and are not subject to any mechanism of checks. Even the constitution is become powerless before them. And now the only resistance is the voice of the people which they seek to put a control mechanism over . We need a new government that would make our institutions of justice powerful and independent

Isn't the police supposed to provide security for the protesters as enshrined in the constitution and prevent it from being hijacked if that's their fear?. It's very clear that there's no regard for the Nigerian constitution and some persons are very well not subject to the constitution. Are we still operating under democracy ? It's a shame the judiciary is not speaking . #operation vote them all out 2023 # we can't continue like this

Goodmarlian:
I also said the same thing before ,many youths do not understand Nigeria political structure,they only place the youths can rule is a republic of southern Nigeria , nothing will work in the current Nigeria where northern hegemony rules..

what good has the political structure done for nigerians? Why keep in existence the source of roth in our country . Truth is we have to do away with the old structure. Infact , we have to retire the current crop of politicians if we are desirous of genuine change.

Good day doc. My mum is having issues with her sight. We visited an eye doc and after examining and scan, they said her sugar and bp has not been properly controlled over time hence the sight challenges. She was asked to take injection in the eyes. Now she is scared and has refused to take this injection. Pls doctor, what are the alternative ways to treat this as her sight is still deteriorating. Thank you sir

she has probably developed a diabetic retinopathy . She has to stick to the docs recommendation else she could go blind. It isn't what should be taken lightly . The earlier the better for her .

. They are entrenched demons. They are ready to sabotage the electoral process if necessary, by using their state sponsored hoodlums and security agents

we would yet defeat them if we make a resolve to. No govt is greater than the people.

dederocs:
I never said people can not or should jot protest, shaking the nation more than the last incudent, is not protests, its more violence. please read where we are coming from, dont just jump into a debate.

there are evidences that the protest was hijacked by political leaders which led to the violence . The endsars protesters were never the cause of the violence

dederocs:
Politicians do not own the infrastructure, politicians come and go...the public and private infrastructure and utilities serve the entire populace, shaking the entire foundation, means more destruction of public utilities, looting of properties, indiscriminate violence and deaths...you think an established government will fold it hands and watch you do this...we need to work via elected politicians, force them from your constituents to work. make it uncomfortable for them, if they are looting your state allocations, and revenue. There are too much interests in Nigeria, even international, if you are not following denocratic ways to push your agenda across, they will intervene with more military, bombs and guns...then people like you go run enter togo

is the right to protest not part of democracy? The acts of the govt are tyrannical and not democratic . Infact it is the govt that's not acting inline with the provisions of democracry and if the organs of govt were functional, should have called for impeachment

Hello Doc,
I have been a short sighted person. When I was in school I used to sit on the front row inorder to see the board clearly. I cannot identity people from afar until they get closer to me. When i got to the University I got a glasses and my vision improved. As I begin using computer I noticed that I always observe some object on my vision, when I try to concentrate on the object, they tend to drift away. Some of the objects are inform of rings and others like Lines. But if I put on my glasses the object interference with my vision reduces.
I check it up on Google, I found out it is called floaters. Please doc, does these floaters have negative effect on my sight?

floaters could be indicative of something serious and needing attention but not in all cases . There's actually no satisfying treatment for floaters. you just have to learn to ignore them. Nevertheless, you should go for an eye exam to ascertain there's nothing more to the floaters

How can we have a tyrant in a democratic dispensation?. The national assembly is of no use. Operation flush them all out in 2023. I mean all . Go get your voters card ready ya all

Annieod:
Good evening Doc,

I have been blinking my eyes abnormally for years now, I usually have teary eyes whenever I look at computer screens and I have blurred vision when reading words a bit far-off which others can easily read.

Please what would you advice in this case.

Thank you

these are symptoms usually associated with uncorrected refractive error. You have to see an eye Dr. You ll most likely be needing corrective lenses

GolDRoger:
what are the diff btw glasses and lenses?

glasses comprises the lense and the frame. The frame is the body holding the lenses. The lenses is the part you look through to see . The frame is is sent to the optical lab for them to fix the lenses .talking about contact lenses , which are lenses fixed directly on the eye ball ( usually less obvious ) unlike in glasses ( which do not make direct contact with the eyeball) where everyone knows you are wearing something on your face

GolDRoger:
Am a short sighted person, and it didn't start now, i noticed it when i was still a teenager..
In my secondary school days i always stay at the front row to be able to see the board properly.
I always feel bad when ever i can't recognize sm1 when they are not too far away, and not until when they are closer. And i think its getting worse.
Please doctors in the house, is there any solution to this predicament?? It makes me feel depressed when ever i can't read from the televion or had to bring my phone closer to my face.

Some people are telling me to go and run a test in the lab so that they can prescribe a glass or lense for me. But i don't want to use glasses as it will only make it get worse. There are also some supplements that i have come across but i don't knw how true is it.

no drug or supplement can help you here. You are most likely having a refractive errorand would be needing glasses. U could also opt for contact lenses if your eye doc deems u suitable fr it after examination

superbouck:
I need contact of any good Dentist in Ibadan

sorry i cannot make a recommendation as regards that as i do not know of any in Ibadan. There should be a thread on dental health issues. u should find help there

clily:
Doc, my eye has been scratching me for three years now. Can it be an infection around the eye?

might likely be a case of chronic eye allergy . See your eye doc for an examination and possible management ll

Lotusflowerbomb:
Thanks for the comfort Doctor

Lotusflowerbomb:
why is glasses freaking expensive like this?

lolz sorry about that. I know the economy is biting hard but clinics are businesses as well and prevailing economic circumstances would also reflect on its running cost and apparently that of its goods and services.

[quote author=AquaPetals post=95279272][/quote]this is very commendable . The political platform should also bring out a workable blue print on how they intend making change (factoring the inputs of the public as well) as this would keep every one focused and serve as a guide for candidates running on this platform when they get into power.

udemzyudex:
It should be around #2-3k depends.

oh thanks so much for the prompt response. i'm grateful .

udemzyudex:
You need to buy another camera,probably the one there is bad or not even available there, you just have the camera hole.

I believe you just got it, take it back to the seller unless it was stated that it doesn't have camera.

yes i just bought it. the seller has a bad customer service . He had me blocked on whatsapp. Of a truth , it escaped me asking about the webcam. Even when i chatted asking what could be done he was mute about it and picked offence when i sent him what microsoft sent about the system specs. I'll have to fix it myself. Do you have an idea of the cost implication to change the camera? Thanks

udemzyudex:
First let's confirm if your laptop have an inbuilt camera or if the camera is working fine.

Go to device manager, locate imaging device, if it is among the list, then your camera is fine and available but if it is not there then its either your camera is bad or it is not available.

Another question, can you see the camera hole at the top of your laptop screen bezel?

no i cannot find imaging device among the list . Yes it has the camera hole

Lotusflowerbomb:
Ok thank you Doctor. I appreciate your prompt responses.

udemzyudex:
LOL.. Funny you, this are things that can easily be upgraded or downgraded.

Note that some London used laptop don't come with HDD, it's the seller that buy and install them.
Some come with low RAM it's the seller that will upgrade it.

This is not an issue.

thanks so much for the clarifications. Pls how can i get the web cam to function ?

Ejusni:
Good afternoon doc, since late last year I discovered a yellowish spot/growth on the white part of my right eye, when I discovered it it was kind of hard to spot but now it's really easy to spot I.e it's become more noticeable. I researched online and found out it was a pinguecula.
The problems now is that I'm really scared and I don't want this to progress more I don't know what to do to stop this growth. I also want to know if it's possible for me to remove it because I'm young and I can't have what's meant for old people.

lolz just try reducing exposure of your eyes to harsh environmental conditions . Gettin a uv a nd b protective sun glasses or photochromic lenses fr outdoors is advised.

Lotusflowerbomb:
Ahh! Doctor So I can't see with my normal eye anymore without glasses? What about when one goes swimming? Does water affect it?

you could use contact lenses and swimming googles

udemzyudex:
Where is the difference?

thanks for your response . 160g hdd as against 320g and 3gig ram as against 4gig ram .

Lotusflowerbomb:
Please is the glasses going to help correct the affected eye? Also,I can't go out at this critical time. I am in Lagos, the centre of the whole crisis now. What can I do for now, pending on when things normalize and I can visit an Eye clinic?

it's not an emergency. You ll have to be patient until things normalizes . It would only correct it when worn nd when u take off the glasses, your eye returns back to seeing blurrily

[img][/img]Thanks guys for the great job you guys are doing. I just got a dell e6410 laptop from a seller here on naira land. It happens that the webcam isnt functioning and i had to go online to sought for self help if i could sort it out . In the course of that, i found out details sent by microsoft on the system specs was different from what was seen when i checked the system properties . Please i am confused. Which is the real system soecification ? And what's the possible explanation for the discripancies ? Thanks [img][/img]

Lotusflowerbomb:
Good morning Doctor, I experimented with a newspaper and I was able to read.

oh ok . The blurry vision is most likely caused by myopia. You ll be needing glasses to help you see better

Lotusflowerbomb:
None of the above, but I know that my eyes are quite sensitive to bright light and I am also short sighted, but I don't use glasses. For now, it's just the blurruminess in one eye.

pick up a news paper or a bible with small prints and cover the good eye. Check if you can read the prints with the blurry eye

Lotusflowerbomb:
I am 26

any experience of seeing threadlike strands or cobwebs in your field of view? Fashes of light? Are you diabetic? Any trauma to that eye prior that day, any family history of blindness or glaucoma, any noticeable symptom aside the blurriness in that eye?

Lotusflowerbomb:
Good Evening Doc, I woke up one morning and discovered My right eye is blurry. It's like something like a cloud is covering your focus. Please prescribe something I can use?

how old are you ?

You should have blocked me also on nairaland. Really disappointed at you and ur manner at handling issues. How dare u block a customer when we are yet having an unresolved issue ?
