For me, it's when you start using something you weren't used to that it affects you negatively. If u're a born Agbo drinker, u're safe...but, joining d club in yr 20s & above is why your system reacts to it

Their game is that people don't go to hospitals as dey want any more.and their drugs no dey sell as much as dey want it in other to make money.this Agbo in question has been existing for so long to extent my granpa DAT used to it spent almost 121 years on this land.
d agbo and other native drugs during our grandfather and ancestors era were authentic. These days most ppl will just conjor different harmful things and be sellin it all in a bid to make fast cash.

None. That's why there is dosage. If you take medications following a stipulated dosage, there is almost always no side effects. Tramadol that you see people abuse today is a legal medication prescribed in maximum of 50mg doses. The ones abused on the street is almost 5 times that. Imagine swallowing 5 paracetamol at once, surely there will be side effects to that abuse
There are situations of some peoples having allergies to some medicines despite taking it at recommended doses, it creates another problem bigger than the solution expected to get from it. If you read that small paper that normally comes inside medicine packs you will understand what i mean. Scientists can promote their wares but condemning the other way round is a no go area. Some sicknesses are better treated using herbs and traditional method than modern methods.

Good report.


As much as I like alternative medicine, the lack of prescription or dosage is a big turn off. Reckless intake of agbo can damage the body systems. Like conventional medicines, there should be a limit to what we take in.

Those condemning the report should begin to contest the authenticity and relevance of their education. Foolishness is when you take the 'white man's' medicine based on stated prescription but argue with the 'white man' on the need to stop the reckless intake of roots and leaves, the very key ingredients of conventional medicines

Like literacy rate, life expectancy is at an all-time low. Decisive steps should be taken to correct all kinds of anomalies in this country. We can't continue to ruin our lives with ignorance.

Bros, life expectancy in Nigeria in the year 1970 is 40 years.

Forget the imaginations in your head. Majority of our grandparents died prematurely due to the kind of ignorance we see on this thread. Don't let the Obituary of the few in their 90s f00l you. For every poster you see in that age group in 2019, hundred others died some 30-50 years ago. That's what it means to have a low life expectancy of 40 years.

An improvement in life expectancy from 40 years in 1970 to around 50-54 years in 2019 shows Nigerians now live a slightly improved life. Forget all the lies you were [ignorantly] told, including those you believed pre- and post- Google era.

World's most ignorant and ill-educated beings live in Nigeria. Nigerians are as ignorant as fck.

Re: Why You Should Stop Taking "Agbo" by GoldHorse(m): 3:02pm On Mar 20, 2019
Stewpid advice obviously from the medical circles or sponsored by a pharmaceutical company.

Go and read about the side effects from paracetamol, tetracycline or any of the so called OTC drugs.

When used well medications from natural sources are way better than all these chemicals we have been brainwashed to be taken.

Western medical practice has its own good sides but they should not make it look like others are bad.

Please do a research on artemisia (malaria) plant and how the WHO is trying to suppress it with support from some pharmaceutical companies...... and this is just one example.

Greedy and devilish lots!!!

(please note that I am not referring to those "agbo" hawkers o. Those ones can be dangerous and should not be trusted.)

You are obviously very ignorant about the efficiency of herbs.

Do you even know that plants contain all these active ingredients in all these (chemicals) drugs in their natural forms and also that close to 90% active ingredients in the drugs are synthetic and "copy copy" from the plants?

You are the one not making sense here. Do you know the cause of the drop in life expectancy during our time now? Don't believe all the POO this whites tell you. Have you heard of GMO and GMF? GMO is good to be eaten but Agbo is not meant to be used as medication? Some Nigerians sef!!!

Please show me where you read that life expectancy in the 70s was 40 years. I don't know where you got that information from. Maybe from the white man. My grandparents from both sides died in their 80s. My parents are in their late 70s, and still alive...my mom still takes strictly herbs...Ginger, Garlic, etc. And she is super healthy at 75. Her elder sister is 79, still healthy...Most of my aunts and uncles are still alive. I don't know know where you got your information. In fact, last week, my uncle was joking about one of his aunt's in her 90s that was still alive, and saying maybe she needs to take a ladder and climb to heaven since she doesn't want to die. Life expectancy 40 in the 70s? SMH.

I don't believe this.

They can say anything to discredit herbal medicine that has been a source of wellness for years.

If I may ask what exactly in the agbo causes kidney damage?

I took agbo iba as a child to combat malaria and nothing happened to me.

An average traditional Yoruba family drinks agbo like they drink coke.
If it were true there would be higher percentage of kidney failure among them ( plus their kids) than anywhere in naija

The average traditional Yoruba family even replaces all drinking water with agbo. grin
