What is postpartum psychosis?

Postpartum psychosis (or puerperal psychosis) affects thousands of women in the UK each year. It is a severe episode of mental illness which begins suddenly in the days or weeks after having a baby. Symptoms vary and can change rapidly. They can include high mood (mania), depression, confusion, hallucinations and delusions. Postpartum psychosis is a psychiatric emergency. You should seek help as quickly as possible.

Postpartum psychosis can happen to any woman. It often occurs ‘out of the blue’ to women who have not been ill before. It can be a frightening experience for women, their partners, friends and family. Women usually recover fully after an episode of postpartum psychosis.

It is much less common than Baby Blues or Postnatal Depression. It occurs in about 1 in every 1000 women (0.1%) who have a baby.

This is a message and ploy to buhari to erase fasholas name from ministerial list. Fashola betrayed tinubu and was forced to endorse ambode.

Muhammadu Buhari is president of Nigeria.
This month, the world moved a step closer to the defeat of Boko Haram, the jihadist group that has terrorized hundreds of thousands in the northern states of Nigeria. In one of my first acts since taking office as president six weeks ago, I have replaced the heads of Nigeria’s army, navy and air force. Our new military leadership has not been chosen because of their familiarity with those in government, as was too often the case in the past, but on thehttps://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/nigeria-committed-to-good-governance-and-fighting-terror/2015/07/20/8c1acd00-2e21-11e5-8353-1215475949f4_story.html?hpid=z6ir track records and qualifications alone.

These new military leaders will be based in Borno State in northern Nigeria, where the headquarters of the armed services has been relocated. This shift of resources and command directly to the front line, in addition to the replacement of the head of the State Security Service, Nigeria’s intelligence organization, and a new emphasis on working in partnership with our neighbors, has equipped us to take the fight directly to Boko Haram.

Already we are beginning to see a degrading of Boko Haram’s capabilities as a fighting force. In recent weeks, it appears to have shifted away from confronting the military directly to an increase in attacks on civilian areas, as we saw only last week when an elderly woman and 10-year-old girl blew themselves up at a Muslim prayer gathering in northeastern Nigeria. We should not be confused by this change, hateful as it is: It does not mean that Boko Haram is succeeding in its aims — it shows that it is losing.

While we work to defeat the terrorists, I ask the people of Nigeria and the world for resolve and fortitude. The campaign we will wage will not be easy; it may not be swift. We should expect stages of success and also moments when it may appear that our advances have been checked. But no one should have any doubt as to the strength of our collective will or my commitment to rid this nation of terror and bring back peace and normalcy to all affected areas.

Similarly, my determination should not be underestimated in other matters. This includes instilling good governance and tackling the scourge of corruption that has held Nigeria back for too long.


As I meet with President Obama today — the first time a president of the United States will encounter a Nigerian counterpart following the peaceful transfer of power in a contested election in our history — I will be discussing my plans for critical reforms. So, too, will I discuss why the formation of my administration is taking time and, crucially, why it must. Already there are voices saying these changes are taking too long — even though only six weeks have passed since my inauguration. I hear such calls, but this task cannot and should not be rushed.

When cabinet ministers are appointed in September, it will be some months after I took the oath of office. It is worth noting that Obama himself did not have his full Cabinet in place for several months after first taking office; the United States did not cease to function in the interim. In Nigeria’s case, it would neither be prudent nor serve the interests of sound government to have made these appointments immediately on my elevation to the presidency; instead, Nigeria must first put new rules of conduct and good governance in place.

I cannot stress how important it is to ensure that this process is carried out correctly, just as it has been crucial to first install the correct leadership of the military and security services before we fully take the fight to Boko Haram.

There are too few examples in the history of Nigeria since independence where it can be said that good management and governance were instituted at a national level. This lack of a governance framework has allowed many of those in charge, devoid of any real checks and balances, to plunder. The fact that I now seek Obama’s assistance in locating and returning $150 billion in funds stolen in the past decade and held in foreign bank accounts on behalf of former, corrupt officials is testament to how badly Nigeria has been run. This way of conducting our affairs cannot continue.
Indeed, the failure of governance, it can be argued, has been as much a factor in Nigeria’s inability thus far to defeat Boko Haram as have been issues with the military campaign itself.

So the path we must take is simple, even if it is not easy: First, instill rules and good governance; second, install officials who are experienced and capable of managing state agencies and ministries; and third, seek to recover funds stolen under previous regimes so that this money can be invested in Nigeria for the benefit of all of our citizens.


We seek the support and partnership of the United States in these tasks. The importance of the fight against terrorism and corruption in Nigeria, Africa’s most powerful economy and largest populace, cannot be underestimated. Our allies can provide much-needed military training and intelligence as our soldiers take the war effort to Boko Haram. Similarly, we look to U.S. businesses as well as the Obama administration to help develop governance initiatives that can ensure that Nigeria’s wealth benefits all its people, not just a few. By taking these steps, we will be positioned to benefit from increased investment — particularly in energy and electricity — from the United States.

I was elected on a platform of change. I know this is what the people of Nigeria desire more than anything else. I know they are impatient for action. I realize the world waits to see evidence that my administration will be different from all those that came before. Yet reforming my country after so many years of abuse cannot be achieved overnight. In our campaigns against both Boko Haram and corruption, we should remain steadfast and remember, as it is said: “Have patience. All things become difficult before they become easy.”

How Boko Haram Courted
and Joined the Islamic State
By SARAH ALMUKHTAR JUNE 10, 2015

Boko Haram, the radical Islamic sect that controls parts of Nigeria,
became the largesthttp://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/06/11/world/africa/boko-haram-isis-propaganda-video-nigeria.html?_r=0affiliate of the Islamic State in March, after months
of strengthening its media presence and courting the jihadist group.
Before the Islamic State
Boko Haram’s few early videos were of low quality and were disseminated haphazardly. They featured the erratic behavior of the group’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, and were so badly edited that at least one rival jihadist group used a clip from a Boko Haram video to mock Mr. Shekau.

Sending a Signal to ISIS
After the Islamic State announced its goal to build a caliphate, Mr. Shekau actively expressed support for Islamic State leadership. In July 2014, Boko Haram began adding the Islamic State’s flag and signature Islamic chant to its videos.
A month later, Mr. Shekau described territory Boko Haram had recently seized as a dawla, or a state, of Islam. Jacob Zenn, an analyst at The Jamestown Foundation, says this phrase was a clear reference to the Islamic State, which is also known as ISIS.

ISIS Responds
In an issue of its online magazine released in October, the Islamic State acknowledged ideological alignment between the groups when it cited Boko Haram’s kidnapping of schoolgirls as a precedent for its own enslavement of Yazidi girls.
Remembering One Leader and Imitating Another
By November 2014, the dramatic changes in Boko Haram’s propaganda indicated that the group had “shifted almost completely into the Islamic State’s orbit,” according to Mr. Zenn. One new, higher quality video was produced by a media agency and showed archival footage of Boko Haram’s founder, Mohammed Yusuf, for the first time since his death in 2009, expressing his original intent to create an Islamic state.
Days after that release, another Boko Haram video showed Mr. Shekau in a mosque, dressed in traditional imam’s clothing, in a setting that mimicked the announcement of the creation of the Islamic State by its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The Boko Haram video also included footage of Mr. Baghdadi himself.

Boko Haram Joins Twitter
In January 2015, Boko Haram created its own media outlet and opened its first Twitter account under the name al-Urwa al-Wuthqa, or “the Incessant Handhold.” The account allowed the group to release content more regularly, about every three to four days, and connect to the Islamic State’s online network. The interaction between Boko Haram's new Twitter account and those of known members of the Islamic State suggested a growing nexus. For example, a video first uploaded by a person known to be associated with ISIS was immediately released by Boko Haram's Twitter account, and then reposted by other known ISIS Twitter accounts.
Boko Haram’s new videos were more stylish and of much higher quality, with special effects and translation into English and French. Experts have suggested that the Islamic State may have sent media producers to Nigeria or that Boko Haram video footage was sent to Libya, the Middle East or even Europe for production and editing.

ISIS Accepts Boko Haram’s Pledge
In February, United States officials confirmed that the Islamic State was likely to have sent representatives to Nigeria to negotiate its relationship with Boko Haram. Mr. Shekau pledged Boko Haram’s allegiance to the Islamic State in an audio recording released in March that followed a script typically used by other affiliates of the Islamic State. Less than a week later, an Islamic State spokesman announced Mr. Baghdadi’s acceptance of Mr. Shekau’s pledge. Other ISIS affiliates released celebratory videos to welcome the “Nigerian mujahedeen.”

A New Video After Two Months of Silence
Soon after its pledge to the Islamic State, Boko Haram stopped releasing videos and its Twitter account was disabled. Analysts believe that the recent counterinsurgency effort by Nigeria, Chad and Niger forced Boko Haram to retreat on some fronts and may have curtailed its media production.
After two months without new videos, the group released a new video on June 2 under the name Wilayat West Africa. In it, Boko Haram refutes claims that it had lost territory.

Senator Saidu Mohammed Dansadau represented Zamfara Central Senatorial District from 1999-2007 under the defunct All Nigerian People’s Party. In this interview, he faults the quest by the South West for the speakership of the House of Representatives. He also says the APC leadership is failing Nigerians by the controversy over zoning of National Assembly positions. Excerpts:

You were in the Senate from 1999-2003, what is your take on the controversy over zoning of National Assembly positions by the All Progressives Congress (APC)?

I feel the controversy on where the Senate presidency and the speakership should be zoned to or who in particular should occupy the seats shouldn’t have arisen. Because, there has been a tradition for zoning - if you want to balance power, you take into consideration the regional bloc, ethnic callings and also religious inclinations. As far as I am concerned, if the APC wants to be fair, the Senate presidency must be zoned to the North Central and for me not only North Central but it should be zoned to a Christian senator from wherever he is in the North Central. And if you will ask me my preference among all the Christian senators I will tell you George Akume is my Senate president why, because it is high time political parties began to reward merit. In fact, not only parties but the Nigerian electorate should begin to reward merit. That is, to vote into positions of power those individuals and personalities that have been recognised for being faithful, honest, dedicated and selfless in the discharge of their responsibilities.

It is only then that we will be able to get Nigeria out of the socio-economic problems that have bedevilled the country for so long.
APC in the North Central has been growing from strength to strength. There is no gainsaying that leaders of the party in the zone have been substantially responsible for the growth and success of the APC in the region.

Secondly, if you are talking about ranking, there are ranking senators from the region who are ably qualified to occupy the position. Akume for instance has been the Minority Leader in the Senate. It is very important such personalities are entrusted with responsibility for stability in the Senate.

The Senate was unstable in the first tenure and its stability improved in the second tenure and since then it has been a stable institution.
The South West wants to have the Speaker; do you think they deserve to be given the position?

Nigerians should take note of the voting trend since independence. In fact, since the 1950s, the North Central per se had never voted in the manner it did along with the other parts of the North as it did at this particular time. These are the kind of things we have been looking for a long time. Various initiatives have been put in place in order to see that northerners from wherever they are, from the 19 states, become one as far as voting is concerned. We are not saying 100 percent of northerners should be in one political party but that northerners should have one voice, they should decide and dictate the politics of Nigeria; like it has been before independence and even during the First Republic because of the numerical strength of the North.

But of recent we became divided so we became so vulnerable. But God in His infinite wisdom and mercy used the goodwill of General Muhammadu Buhari and we have gotten the kind of unity that we have been yearning for for so long. We have realised this dream now. So now that we have achieved the unity we long for because of Buhari’s goodwill, it is only fair that we now make some efforts to consolidate these gains because General Buhari will not be the president for ever. So that after him, we have consolidated on this goodwill and we will be able to grow this unity, political cooperation, electoral cooperation from strength to strength so that the North will as much as possible dictate the political landscape of the country and what happens in Nigeria as it used to do. This is necessary because my fear is that not that Senator Ahmad Lawan is not qualified, he is very much qualified, but in third world countries where there are lots of crises and ethnicity and religions, you have to balance power in such a manner that every ethnic and religious group as much as possible will feel satisfied with the balancing of power. That is all we are saying.

And for the North East, they really deserve the speakership. There is no doubt going by their number and what they contributed to the success of the APC going by the candidates contesting for the position, they truly deserve a very important office in this dispensation. There is no doubt about that. But I feel no sacrifice is too much as far as the unity of this country is concerned. No sacrifice is too much as far as it concerns the growth and the continuity in power of the APC. So, in order not to take a decision that will make the strength of APC wane so quickly, I think regional groups and individuals should learn to make sacrifices.

In fact, where I fault the leadership of the APC is why should the leadership do zoning in piecemeal? Why should they zone the speakership to the South West? When you are taking that decision, why didn’t they take the entire zoning together? That was what the PDP did in the past and since it is good, the APC should emulate it. If any crisis arises as a result of the zoning I will blame the leadership of the APC. Why, because if they had sat down from the word go to zone all the positions, this problem wouldn’t have arisen.

Are you saying that the delay in taking a decision is responsible for this controversy?

Yes, and it portends great danger for the APC; this delay of sitting down to agree on the zoning. And the second mistake they made is this piecemeal zoning. Why single out Speaker of the House of Representatives? Why? The entire thing should have been taken together. If APC does not put its feet down properly and take charge it is going to lead to crisis in the leadership of the National Assembly.
People are insinuating that if the APC leadership is not careful, the Tambuwal scenario is going to repeat itself and for me I feel that the South West was asking for too much. They already have the vice president why should they be making request for speaker of the House of Representatives? For me, Speaker of the House should be zoned to North East. And that will have been a very good balancing of power and you forge ahead.

Do you see the need to carry the northern Christians along for the sacrifices they made in the election?

I am appealing to the APC as a political party to take a bold step in order to bring an end to this matter before even the president is inaugurated.

It is not possible for 20 billion dollars to be stolen, thats almost our annual budget. Gmb should learn from yaraduas mistake. i support a probe but policy reversal and some unnecessary probes wouldnt lead us no where.

is xenophobia any different from ethnic clashes

APC RIGGED IN LAGOS. VOTER TURNOUT WAS LOWER THAN THE PRESEDENTIAL, YET TOTAL VOTES CAST WERE MORE IN THE GUBERNATORIAL. A LOT OF TOP UP IN EPE, IKORODU, MUSHIN, ALIMOSHO, IFAKO IJAIYE.U CAN ONLY RIGG WHERE HAVEPOPULAR SUPPORT.

The candidate that would wrestle power from apc in lag must be widely popular and acceptable to nullify the effect of ruling party rigging machinery which took place yesterday.

1 His party.
2 Some yorubas feel irritated that he was allegedly an Ibo candidate ( TRIBALISM)
3 Himself - His campaign could have been much better

I WISHED HE WON, A PARTY RULING A STATE FOR 20 YEARS LEAVES LITTLE ACCOUNTABILITY. HE LOOKED DECENT WITH A CLEAN PROFILE, TINUBU IS THE WINNER HERE, I JUST PITY LAGOSIANS .

The odds favour ambode , tho it would be close

Elections are about interest. so many interest groups are against apc in lagos. The aworis, the non yoruba indigenes, some civil servants and their families, Healthworkers and their families, Lasu lecturers and and their students,okada drivers, a lot of artisans,a lot of small business owners, fellow politicians, pdp members to mention a few. Jk is ok

Agbaje lost d elwction 2 days ago. so painful

HAS A APC IN LAGOS CONVICTED ANYONE FOR CORRUPTION THROUGHOUT 16 YRS. OVER 4 TRILLION COLLECTED. JUDGE

This election is btw ambode and agbaje,Ambode just doesnt look convincing. Right from the debates in 07, we knew fashola was going to do well. HE did very well in his first term and just below average in his 2nd term taking into account the huge debt profile of the state and the igr.

Oba akiolu should respect the office he occupies and should be a father to all political contestants.

Apc camp is jittery

A LOT OF VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR GMB WOULD VOTE FOR AGBAJE, FEW VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR GEJ WOULD VOTE FOR AMBODE, THATS A FACT. EXCEPT VOTER TURNOUT CHANGES,WITH THE OUTCOME OF THE LAST ELECTION, APC IS IN FOR A SHOCKER IN LAGOS STATE. AMBODE IS NOT FASHOLA.CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE

GEJ would meet 25 percent in all of the se, ss,sw,kogi, fct, benue, plateau, nassarawa, adamawa taraba, either kwara or bauchi thats 25 staes already. GMB woukd also meet 25 percent in two thirds of states plus fct with much ease. Its a close call now for the popular votes with allegations and technical hitches that allow for foul play, Both parties are now inflating, we can only watch and see

oghene egoh of pdp amuwodofin federal house seat is a sure banker
