Since APC stole power, life has been terrible for the majority of Nigerians but some heartless fellows think otherwise

The APC wants to kill diabetes patients in Nigeria by keeping necessary drugs expensive and out of reach of the average sufferers

Every problem that involves health has a natural solution, but the white made you believe they don't work so that you'll focus on their medicines.

When Nigerians manufacture that same medicine, they say it's not certified. They make you look down on your local and effective solutions so that they'll have a market to sell theirs.

That's how they made Africa tradition that made everyone abstain from crime look evil and brought in religion and democracy to ruin our peace.

What I'm trying to say is, there is a native solution to every health problem, as long as it's not technology. Your job is to dig and find it.

Most times, words can mess up our minds and make things that work become ineffective because the mind is already preprogrammed to resist it.
Fact cool

Exercise regularly, drink plenty of water, and minimize your sugar intake. Anyone who does this consistently will be able to keep their diabetes in check.

Cost of all medicines are beyond control of the ordinary citizens. Paracetamol of #10 before is now #300. Amatem of #1,200 is now #3,000.

Don't expect anything from them.

Why should they tax sugar? One of the biggest misconception is that sugar causes diabetes.
Type 1 is an autoimmune disease
Type 2 is caused by obesity
Well said my intelligent friend.
A lot of misconception.

That's how they made African tradition that made everyone abstain from crime look evil and brought in religion and democracy to ruin our peace and create business opportunities from unruly behaviours that never existed in Africa.

They said to themselves, "If there is no crime and eating unhealthy in Africa, we can't sell our CCTV cameras, GMO food, medicine, and other gadgets. So, let's destroy their minds first so they can destroy themselves and run to us for help (since they see us as superior) and we'll use things we stole from their land to help them and they'll pay us with the money they spent months or years labouring for. In the end, they'll achieve nothing in life and will be depressed till death."

"How can a fine girl drink something that dark and bitter?" — referring to liquid from a squeezed plant.
Our herbs are good but the problem is the concentration,any have lost their lives because of intake of concentrated herbs. Even the patented ones still have adverse effects on the body if not taken as prescribed, let alone the unmeasured quantity.
All we need doing is for the system to help these herb producers for quality control.

Diabetes is a self-inflicted disease. Period! Everyone with the disease is a food/sugar freak who finds it difficult to let go. If you want to argue, go ahead, but check them all well before you do so. How many of them gave up sugar easily? How many of them can easily give up high glycemic index foods? "Dem wan chop swallow na and put meat, round about, panmo, etc".

Start a garden, eat organic food, stay away from processed sugar and high glycemix index food, and you can manage well or reverse it if not irreversible.

But they will keep arguing. "Na dem get their wahala".



How can it be free when there is overpopulation and corruption? Decay is inevitable, but not until we have a sustainable structure in place. How can you freely care for over 300 million people with a GDP per capita of less than $4000? Even if we remove corruption, it will take at least 5 years to start balancing everything. It is as if you do not understand what is wrong with Nigeria.
Bro, keep calm. You just described one type; Type 2. Don't be ignorant. You can voice you opinions without slandering people. Not all diabetes is directly related to too much sugar intake.

A kind of diabetes actually requires you to take something of high sugar to raise blood sugar levels. It's called Type 1 diabetes

So, what are you implying? That we don't work enough here? Don't people work worse than dogs here and still can't feed properly? Omo, God go really punish some of una o. A system gives her people their dues as stipulated and the best you can do is talk it down like your nation has anything to offer you.

Make your sense of that you said.

What has the discovery of crude oil truly brought to Nigeria and Nigerians—progress or misfortune? Only God knows. Many countries with fewer natural resources than Nigeria enjoy a better quality of life than we do. cry cry

We pay taxes like every other country, but what do we gain from it? Education is no longer free, not even at the primary level. Government-provided water supply is a thing of the past, healthcare costs are high, and even after spending millions on a degree, creating a job for yourself often becomes the only option, unless you want to work as a POS agent— lipsrsealed lipsrsealed embarassed
At this point, only God can save Nigeria—not even Nigerians themselves
What use is petroleum that God blessed us with when we are also blessed with wicked and greedy leaders? You call that a blessing or a curse?

Naija has its vices, but healthcare is not free in NHS.
Pray you dont have a treatment that requires a lot of resources, they will tell you the next available appointment is 2 years time.

So, what's your suggestion? Remain where you're being exploited with nothing to show for it; not even proper meals... Or move to where you're exploited in exchange for electricity, gas, healthcare, security, fair wages?

Bro, you tried but you made no sense. What will you say next? Move to a place where you won't be exploited?

And what's this exploitation? Working to pay your bills is what you call exploitation? Little wonder your nation is in shambles. Lol... You don't want to be exploited, right?

I agree exploitation to varying degrees, but dont pretend immigrants are not exploited in first world countries. If you choose to play pretence, i will allow you wallow in your ignorance, which i assume to be bliss.

If nothing you said was a lie; the bolded part is definitely a lie.

Humor me; which hospitals do they visit for such treatments? Bear in mind that we are one of, if not the biggest medical tourists in the whole world.

So, which hospital in nigeria offers world class treatmeant that a person from the UK will leave India and come to Nigeria for cancer treatment?

More so, common sense will tell anyone with a brain that the more expensive your condition, the longer it will take to get an appointment unless of course it's an emergency.

I dont think you are ignorant, you have made some good points. But just go to google and type how are immigrants exploited by USA/UK. Also research neo-slavery.
These should cure your assumed ignorance.

This is even the best time to jettison all these orthodox medications and embrace alternative medicine.

There lots of herbs out there that can be much more efficacious than the orthodox drugs.

Consult the right herbalist. Remember, there is power in nature!
You want to jump from fry pan to fire.
Better pray God gives you the grace to be able to provide proper orthodox medical care for you and family. Leave the agbo, herbs, roots for those that have no option.
