You dont like Atiku but you will choose a man that is clearly worse than Buhari. How logical is that. A man that has clearly been in the corridors of power and a man whose pedigree clearly shows you what kind of leader he has been.

No single person on earth can single handedly change Nigeria and with Buhari we know that more than most his heart is in the right place. He just needs to surround himself with more people that are invested in the development of Nigeria as currently there are too many hyenas even seeking to devour him. We all need to go back to the grass roots and put forward men of intergrity wherever they may be found.




Are they Victims?

Often times i remember an old yoruba adage that is now lost on this generation which says a good name is better than gold or silver. People demonstrate a total lack of integrity but refuse to take ownwership for their predicament. We as a people keep sitting on nail but refuse to move away from the nail and prefer to grumble that the nail is hurting.

''with Buhari we know that more than most his heart is in the right place." how do you intend to justify this claim in your writeup?

movetoca:
Do you know what it takes for someone to vote for Buhari in 2015 against his fellow southerner? I know the massive insults I received at my polling unit in Port Harcourt . I voted for him because I thought he was going to make the real difference. I trusted him and I don't regret voting him because now I have confirmed him to be another liar like the rest. I have made up my mind never to vote for anybody especially people like Buhari and Atiku. Fvck both of them. Stop trying to defend these guys because even Buhari knows he has failed.

why do most Nigerians feel they do not have an option aside atiku or buhari? ain't there other candidates in d likes of moghalu, sowore , duke , oby and others . the excuse for your not voting in the coming elections aint good enough . you are the one limiting yourself to the choice of those two candidates when there re others .

jconsulting:
You can't blame them, they are poor and hungry ,1k ,2k will go a long way in some homes

how long would the amount they received sustain them? they participating in such shameful / unpatriotic acts reinforces their poverty . there's no excuse reasonable enough to sell d opportunity for a better future in exchange for a few thousands. # Nigeria would hardly be better owing to the mindsets of majority.

lexy2014:
I believe d people & d govt are d best combo 4 corruption. A wise man once said that we deserve d leaders we have. In addition to that, our leaders are a reflection of d values we hold as a people cause many of us keep supporting them despite obvious deeds of failure&lawlessness

it could never have been said better. I totally agree with you

Nigerians are the problem of this country not the government as there's no government greater than the people. wicked government thrives because the people allows it to.

veneza:
doc. thanks a lot
what stage of glaucoma is this,also if patient follow up with medication and check up from this stage is there any need to panic that one might loss his vision in the near future.
since one is having normal pressure range if one continues the medication is there any harm if it becomes too low(eye pressure).

there isn't any need to panic if you adhere to your meds and go for routine eye checks as your vision can be very well preserved. you will hardly find a case of too low eye pressure arising . if the individual is placed on a combination of anti glaucoma drugs in order to achieve a target pressure, d doctor knows at what point to withdraw some of those drugs and which to place u on to maintain the pressure. like I stated in the previous reply, it's what is to be managed throughout life and to be done with your eye doctor.

veneza:
please doctor how can one conclude that glaucoma has set in, am confuse.
eye test 6/6)left and 6/6)right eye
eye pressure 17 and 19 irrespectively, although two weeks back it was measuring 41 and 29 left n right eye. after some medication it dropped.
can read clearly small letters during eye test.
so tell me please is the optic nerve damage, is this glaucoma.

one could have glaucoma and still have standard vision (6/6) as peripheral vision is usually affected first and not central vision (giving u a 6/6 vision now). if not properly managed, central vision would become affected in the later stage. good it was discovered early. with that high pressure record and the much difference in pressure reading between the two eyes initially makes it a high suspicion of glaucoma. a visual field analysis /Oct may be needed to establish the suspicion as a true glaucomatous case but most likely, it is.

Many blessings to you Sir.I'm going to see the GP for the referral and I hope u will be available here for me

bless you too. You can always put up your questions here

wanger50:
He told me he was a "general practitioner" so can't handle my issue beyond a certain level. Meanwhile I'm getting worst.I'm so troubled.I constantly fear losing my sight. Last night I had a dream I have lost my sight!

lolz calm down . maybe you thought so much about it hence dream. it took u long to seek professional help. you complained about it in January and now it's December. make an appointment with an eye doc. let the gp refer u to one if u do not know of any . best wishes and Season greetings

wanger50:
I'm grateful for your response.I went to see a Doctor at a General Hospital in my locality. He prescribed chloramphenicol eye drop and a few tablets.He plans to send me to an eye specialist if I don't improve. In the meantime I appear to have gotten worst.I can barely open the eye when it's sunny.l plan to get back to him in the new year though. l only hope it won't be too late for me

was it an eye Dr u met? what were the findings?

Taymi:

Taymi:
Well done sir. Please do you know anything about luth, learnt they are on strike. Wants to take my dad there for his eye surgery. Looking for where it won't cost us much. He has cataract

maybe u should check military hospital then and compare cost

Geminita:
Oops... Thanks.. I will visit the eye doctor. I really appreciate

when I went for medical examination in school, I did eye test and my left eye result was 6over18 and the right eye was 6over9. the result wasn't interpreted. does that mean I have a poor sight?? my right eye is perfectly fine,i only experience issues with the left eye

your right eye isn't perfectly fine either although it has better vision than the left eye. standard vision is 6/6 . you would likely be needing glasses to help both eyes see better

Geminita:
Yes. tho the headache is not constant and when am scratching it, it makes some sound that I can't just explain..

try not to itch. go make an appointment with your eye doc and u'll be given meds to help with the itching too.

Geminita:
Good afternoon doc...

I usually experience blur vision with my left eye and it's always itching me..
When I want to take something,i don't see it until it's been point to me. even when am reading a book, the text looks scattered and I have to relax for a while before reading again and the process continue..

do you experience headaches and tearing when you engage your eyes? anyways I suspect you are having a refractive error and may be needing glasses but only an eye exam can tell what the problem is. I suggest you make an appointment for one

veneza:
Those surgery cure glaucoma or those surgery help eye pressure to become there by making one worry free about vision.
What if someone has lost his vision a bit, can lens medication be use for clearer vision.
God bless you Doctor.

I have to clarify that there isn't cure for glaucoma. it is only managed throughout life. whether or not surgery is done, you'll have to constantly go for followups .

surgery is usually the last resort if drugs fail to bring down the pressure to the desired or in cases where there's very severe damage to the eye nerves already or in managing a variant of glaucoma called narrow angle glaucoma . Secondly, glasses or contact lenses cannot help when vision is lost from glaucoma

yemmi22:
Okay. Thanks Doctor

uwlcm best wishes.

Yes, dere is a difference in vision btw the two eyes. And dere is occassional light flash. Am 32 years old and this eye issue started some years back. I checked d last medication and eye drop dat was prescribed some years back. I don't know if i should buy dem again or go see the doctor.
Pls Doctor, can i get your contact so that i can speak with you.

please go for a comprehensive eye check as soon as possible. if you can tomorrow, please do. you shouldn't take this lightly .

veneza:
Hello Doc. I would like to know if someone diagnosed with a glaucoma on the early stage,can use glasses to avoid sunlight and for perfect vision.
She always experience high pressure in the eye say 41m and 29m can she loses her sight all of a sudden or its a gradual process. If she is on medication is there any reason to panic over vision lost.
Remember the person still have her vision intact.

hi there , loosing vision in glaucoma is usually gradual and without the person being aware (as the side vision is usually affected first). management of glaucoma needs follow up by the doctor as the goal is to bring the eye pressure to a point that there wouldn't be further loss of vision and this target pressure varies from one individual to another. she would need to adhere to the recommended medication, dosage and keep to her appointments so the doc can always ascertain if the recommended drugs are bringing down the pressure to the target and if there is a progression of the disease . it's usually managed throughout life and with your eye doc involved all through. if she keeps to her meds and appointments, she'll be fine and her vision preserved but if she doesn't, I fear for her vision. most Nigerians are usually careless because the disease is symptomless , they in d long run discontinue meds and do not come for checkups only to show up when they are near blindness or blind from the disease and the painful thing is that the vision lost cannot be recovered . though some docs are to blame for this as they most time fail to educate their patients on the nature of the disease hence the carelessness by most patients out of ignorance .

Hello Doctor, pls i need your help I have dis white tissue around my eye balls. Although i went to the hospital some years back, i was given eye drop and other medications. I couldn't go back to the hospital because i had to return to school. But i notice some black dots dancing in front of my eyes. The problem now is dat some days back i sat with my laptop for quite a long period and after dat, i noticed like a not so black cloud at the corner of my eyes. U know wen u are exposed to light for a Long time and u remove ur eyes, you know dat residual reflection you get in the eyes. Dats wat am seeing and it has refused to go for like three days now. Pls wat should i do. Am already getting scared because d black cloud dat came with it is still dere too. And dis happened after i finished using the laptop

how old are you? do u also notice light flash occasionally? also compare the vision between both eyes by covering one at a time; any noticeable difference or change from how u used to see?

omotu:
Please can anyone recommend any local fumigation I can use to pursue mosquitoes from my home cos it seems sniper n oda insecticide have failed. Am damn serious I need urgent recommendations

just a temporary measure to keep them off for a few days, cut lime into halves and put cloves in them. keep them in your house corners; it repels mosquitoes. it works

sammirano:

Hello Doctors in the house,

I have an issue with my eyes, when I consulted a specialist, she recommended surgery @50k per eye. my friend said its pinjicular. but I read online that there are drops that can clear it. can you name one for me.

you mean 'pinguecula' ? well that was what your friend called it. What did your eye specialist call it?
