ow many staph patients av u cured wit antibiotics

9 out of 10 are cured completely. Even MRSA and MDR Staph has a cure. The problem is that Nigerians are used to herbal medicine, which promises immediate cure. Treatment for MRSA (for instance) takes weeks sometimes months of sustained treatment at the prescribed dose (not the dose that your pocket can afford). That is where most people meet their stumbling block with treatment.

Too many caution, but they won't listen. I asked a roomie of mine to go check for Hep B and if she doesn't she should take the vaccine, all she could mutter was "God won't not allow the sickness of the Israelites to befall me" - apologies if you're not a Christian. That type of an individual would fall cheaply to these scams.

Unfortunately they seem to listen better to scammers. Many Nigerians are alcoholics. When you combine that with a high fat diet, plenty nkwobi ll the time, suya suya suya, plus HepB or C, that na liver failure before long. But then, they will tell you that one thing go kill a man

Thank you

Cough is a reflec reaction to an irritant in the throat (pharynx). To treat it, you have to figure out what is irritating your throat and take care of that.

'Heartburn' (GERD) is a common cause of dry cough that is easy to miss. The acid reflux from the stomach can irritate the pharynx and cause a dry stubborn cough that does not respond to cough medications. If you do have heartburn, you may want to try some antacid to help provide relief or better still see your doctor.
If you do have some form of nasal drainage especially when you sleep, you may have allergic rhinitis. This is caused by an allergy to some irritant causing drainage of mucus down your throat into your pharynx causing irritation and a dry cough. Anti-histamines (actifed) usually treat that.
I asked about pillow because if you can only sleep comfortably with more than one pillow, you may have a heart problem which can also show its early signs with a dry cough
If you have fever at night and some weight loss with the cough, you may have TB. Nigeria has lots of TB despite the BCG vaccine we get at birth.

So if you have any more info you are missing out, let me know since it may be helpful in the diagnosis.

Faraidi:
Thanks the pain is very painful and itchy.

HSV is painful but not that itchy. Anyway, try zovirax and give your peepee some rest

Larryfly:
I was diagnosed staph aureus in my sem. en

Okay. I believe you have bacteriospermia due to Staph aureus. Cipro has good penetration of urogenital tract and good coverage of staph aureus. But check with your doctor because some people are allergic to cipro. Also you will need a long term treatment in order to attain a high enough serum level of cipro to penetrate your semen stores

[size=18pt]It appears there will be a brisk sale of ammunition and coffins in Rivers state this weekend and next week. All in a normal Nigerian election. Numerous families are preparing for funerals and burials. Lawyers are busy dusting their wigs for appeals and court injunctions. All na business. All na politics. All na nonsense[/size]

Tramadol is a semi-narcotic. It has addictive properties. I would desist from using it unless absolutely necessary (after surgery). Alleve or Panadol Extra should solve your problem. Just stick to their recommended dosage and your pain should be controlled.

Larryfly:
Bro, have you found a cure yet for staph

Go to a medical lab and check what type of staph you have.

[size=18pt]If you drink plenty of water and also walk about regularly, it is almost impossible to develop constipation[/size]

Larryfly:
Bro, are you talking from experience? I just met someone that has been to three different specialist hospitals and followed their treatment to the latter. Still the stuff returned. Some people are claiming that herbs cure it totally that is if you dont get defrauded. I need someone that has been totally cured to advise me.

There are numerous types of staph. Some of them live permanently on our skin (Staph epidermidis). Some live in the nostrils of 3/10 people (staph aureus). Some are very deadly depending on where they end up. MRSA is the deadly one that defies most antibiotic treatment. If you have an STD or a UTI, it is less likely due to staph and more likely due to E.Coli, Proteus mirabilis or some other UTI-causing bugs. If you do self-prescribe antibiotics or do not complete your antibiotic regiment like most Nigerians, you may have developed your own personal custom-made bacteria that has become resistant to conventional antibiotics. Whatever the case, you need to go to a medical lab and have them check your fluid sample (blood, urine or semen) for unusual bacterial activity and then figure out what medication they are sensitive to.[/size][size=8pt][/size]

Gem1977:
Please NairaLanders, What are the symtoms that someone has contacted hiv within two weeks?
Can Urine cure HIV and within how many days?

[size=18pt]
You will have no symptoms if you contacted HIV 2 weeks ago. it may take up to 6 weeks to show up in your blood.
As for drinking urine, there is a reason why we pee out urine. If it were as useful as some people make it to be, we would be recirculating it in our system just like we do blood. Urine is like feces (bo[/size]th are waste products).

[size=14pt]Hep B has no cure. Hep C has some cure but very expensive ($20K - $70K)
If you test negative on those two, you must go ahead and vaccinate yourself. They are one of the most common causes of liver cancer in developing countries.
If you still want to believe that there is a cure, then go ahead and call the numerous numbers already listed on this thread. After all, they have a business to run [/size]

Faraidi:
Hello Doctors in the house,please I have sore in the genital close to my penis.The pain is killing me,what is the cause?and treatments.Thanks

[size=18pt]The most common diagnosis of [b]painful [/b]genital sore is genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). You need to start practising safe sex before you give it to someone else. It is very contagious. HSV is a very common virus. It has no cure, so you will probably have it for life. However not to panic. Zovirax ointment usually helps with the sore. The sore may reoccur from time to time throughout your life because like I said, it has no cure.

If the sore was painless, then you are dealing with a more deadly ailment (syphilis). [/size]

[size=14pt]@mascot87

Sorry to hear about your problem. You have described a dry cough that is worse when you wake up.
I need you to answer the following to enable me figure out what may be going on.

1. Do you have heart burn?
2. What medications are you taking now? Every single medication you take including multivites
3. Do you smoke? Did you smoke in the past? Do you live with a smoker? Do you mingle in a smoking environment?
4. Do you have fever with the cough?
5. Have you gained or lost weight since the cough started?
6. What was the last antibiotics you took and how long did you take it?
7. Do you prop your head on a pillow when you sleep? How many?

As soon as I hear from you, I can try to come up with a differential diagnosis

[size=18pt]Your bulging tummy is a sign that you eat too much. Cut down on your daily intake. Slash your breakfast, lunch and dinner to half the current size. Avoid snacks. If you must eat snacks, eat fruits and fruits only. Walk when you can. Walk to your neighborhood supermarket instead of jumping into your car all the time. Use the stairs instead of using the lift/elevator. If you sweat while you walk, you are burning calories (good for losing weight).
Do sit-ups and stomach crunch exercises to tighten up your abdomen. Do not believe there is any magic weight loss pill out there.

Proof that my advice will work: You will not find anybody in the IDP camps in the north with bulging stomach except the people who serve them food[/size]

By Francis Arinze Iloani

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recruited 909 staff in two years without advertising the vacancies, Daily Trust investigations have revealed.
The whole affair is now a subject of investigation by the Federal Character Commission (FCC) to determine if due process was violated.

The FCC is the body responsible for ensuring equity, fairness and balance in all employments into government establishments.

Investigations showed that some of the basic requirements for employment were not followed in the recruitment. For instance, the various positions to be filled by candidates were not advertised, and the figures also suggested that the exercise was lopsided in favour of certain sections of the country contrary to the provisions of the federal character.

Details of the recruitment, carried out between June 2014 and February 2015 showed that out of the 909 staff engaged, 213 of them are from the South-South region, CBN governor’s geo-political zone.

Others are North Central, 178; South West, 176; South East,158; North West,104 and North East 80.

The five executive positions (Assistant Directors) come from Edo, Abia, Anambra, Oyo and Benue states.

About 411 others occupy senior positions from the rank of senior supervisors and principal managers.

A total of 491 staff were employed to fill junior positions over the period with the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) accounting for 11 slots.
State by state breakdown of the beneficiaries showed that Delta State had the highest number with 78.

Oyo, Imo and Edo States have 48, 42 and 41. Other states are Zamfara, 2; Yobe, 3 and Jigawa, 3.
Commenting on the situation, the Acting Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Dr. Shettima Bukar Abba, told Daily Trust that his Commission was investigating the recent recruitments at the CBN.

Speaking to the Daily Trust in his office in Abuja recently, Dr. Abba said he was investigating whether or not the CBN had followed due process in its recruitments, if it got the necessary approvals from the Commission before embarking on the recruitment and whether or not it got a waiver not to advertise the vacancies.

“In terms of lopsidedness, we have to look at it also. This may even lead us to go court if it happens that there is some marginalisation or lopsidedness in favour of certain states or certain areas,” he said.

On whether or not the CBN got the nod of the Commission before embarking on the recruitments, the Acting DG said, “Since I came, they have not written anything to me, but I was made to clearly understand that they have some discussions, some approvals from the previous Chairman of the Commission.

“I have now asked them to let me see the nominal roll for the whole year and then those they intend to recruit and those that they have already recruited and the letter that gave them permission not to advertise.”

He revealed that before he assumed office two months ago, the Commission operated under committees and that the CBN happens to be under the Financial Services Committee, which dealt directed with the CBN on the recruitments.

He said upon assuming office about two months ago, he invited the CBN’s Human resource director who told him that the CBN got a waiver not to advertise the vacancies to avoid a recurrence of the Immigration recruitment tragedy.

“The human resource director came here and we said look, you people are recruiting. You have done the recruitment. She said yes that we have got approval and our recruitment is not an immediate recruitment that they are doing and that they have been doing it in stages for a certain period.”

On why the CBN refused to advertise its vacancies, Dr. Abba said, “The reason they gave me was that because of what happened in the Immigration. They don’t want to come out and fully advertise that they are going to recruit. That if they are doing it, it will create some form of pandemonium. So, they requested for a waiver not to advertise. But all other processes were followed. So, we are now investigating to find out how many they have recruited and what are the various positions that they have recruited.”

He added: “I checked the files. We have not given them the certificate of compliance for the people they took. It means they are still in the process of documenting what they have taken prior to my coming.”
When contacted, the CBN’s acting Director of Corporate Communications, Mr Isaac Okorafor, said he needed time to respond to the issues raised on the recruitment.

Several text messages and calls were put through to his phone as reminders but he did not answer them. The last response he sent to our reporter at about 4:22pm yesterday read: “sorry, I’m in a meeting.”

A source at the CBN said the recruitment scandal had generated internal protest at the apex bank. The management has now redeployed the Director Human Resources that reportedly supervised the exercise, Mrs Chizoba Mojekwu to Training and Human Development Department.
The CBN had in an earlier comment on its recruitment policy stated :

“All appointments shall be made on the basis of merit, through a fair and open selection process. The principles underlying the recruitment process are those of fairness, credibility, equal employment opportunities, merit and optimisation of career prospects for currently employed staff.”

In September last year, the bank issued a statement signed by the former director, Corporate Communications, Ibrahim Mu’azu denying any general recruitment in the bank .

Mu’azu emphasised that the Bank would not embark on general recruitment exercise without due process.
“Whenever the Bank is ready to do this it will be duly publicized through its website, and other media platforms available to it, without a fee,” the statement added.

But Daily Trust learnt that the last time the bank publicly recruited workers was in 2013, after it announced and advertised the exercise in the media. A source said the bank recruited almost every month, since June 2014.

It should not come to any Nigerian, as a surprise that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is calling the shots as far as the political terrain of Nigeria is concerned now. However, the leader of the APC and the president, Muhammadu Buhari may surprise Nigerians, by becoming the first democratically elected president not to contest for a second term in office. Some of the Igbo sons and daughter below are potential presidential material in case President Buhari decides to anoint someone from the Southeastern part of the country
