Politics › Traditional Medicine Practitioners (Native Doctors) Offer To Treat Buhari by stanech(op): 2:43pm On Jul 04, 2017
Femi Makinde, Osogbo

The National Association of Nigerian Traditional Medicine Practitioners has said its members can cure the ailing President Muhammadu Buhari of any ailment if consulted.
The Patron of the NANTMP, Dr. Adesunmiboye Fawawo, said this in an interview with our correspondent in Osogbo on Tuesday on the sidelines of the inauguration of the new executives of the association.
He said many Nigerians died cheaply because the practice of medicinal and therapeutic use of plants was being looked down upon in the country whereas orthodox medicine was being promoted.
Fawawo said, “President Muhammadu Buhari is our national leader and we must guide him with all jealousy. We are a national body which is recognised by the Federal Government. The association was established during the reign of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and he uses our products. You can see how strong he is even at his age.
“We have been able to treat patients whose families had lost hope on their recovery. Unfortunately, we have not been consulted to treat President Buhari. We can treat him and the government must realise that traveling abroad for treatment may not solve the issue.

“If you get to mortuary many corpse found in the place are rich people because they don’t trust their health with local treatment. Many rich people believe expensive drugs and treatment but this will go a long way to deepen recession.”

Fawawo said those, who were afraid of the potency of herbs usually frighten the people by saying herbs cause kidney problem and other issues but he said this was not true if the right dosage was used.



According to him, some herbal products are being exported to Europe and the United States while some herbal products are in hospitals including seleru agbo which he said was at the Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo.

He said the Nigeria Educational Research Development Council in partnership with the Osun State Government was working to on how to teach pupils the use of herbs to cure common ailments like stomach ache and others.

Also, the Assistant Secretary General, of the association, Dr. Ade Adeagbo lamented the neglect of traditional medicine in the country, saying Nigeria was wasting a huge amount on importation of drugs.

He suggested that government should invest in local production of herbal mixtures instead of wasting money to import synthetic drugs which according to him had many negative side effects.

Adeagbo said ” Government should stop investing in importation of medicine but invest immensely on local product which is cheap and saver. The Federal Government recently launched ” Change Begin with me” I believe this change should also start by making sure that the President is treated locally. It will save fund and reduce and douse tension.”

Politics › In Africa, Nigerians Are Big Fans Of The Donald by stanech(op): 2:34pm On Jul 03, 2017
President Donald Trump is struggling to convince Americans that he’s the right man for the job, enduring record low popularity ratings during his first few months in office. The annual Pew Research Center survey on global attitudes to the U.S. and its president, published on June 26, made for grim reading for Trump. Across the 37 countries surveyed, a median of just 22 per cent had confidence in Trump to do the right thing in international affairs.

Comparably, Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama scored a median of 64 per cent towards the end of his second term. But in a few countries, Trump seemed to be at least as popular as his predecessor—if not more. One of those countries was Nigeria, the West African nation of 180 million people.

Of the six sub-Saharan African nations surveyed by Pew, Nigeria was the most confident, at 58 per cent, that President Trump would do the right thing in world affairs. This figure was actually the joint-second highest overall—level with Vietnam and behind the Philippines as 69 per cent—and Nigerians expressed more faith in Trump than in Germany’s Angela Merkel, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian leader Vladimir Putin. More than half of Nigerians said relations between the two countries would improve under Trump, while 55 per cent of Nigerian respondents thought of Trump as “caring about ordinary people”—the highest among all the countries surveyed. By contrast, 23 per cent of Canadians expressed the same sentiment.



Nigeria is an extremely diverse country, home to more than 200 ethnicities and a roughly equal split between Christians and Muslims, so it is unlikely that the survey is representative of all Nigerians. Some of the views varied according to their faith: around 70 per cent of Christians in Nigeria expressed confidence in Trump’s international leadership abilities, compared to 46 per cent of Nigerian Muslims.

But on the whole, Trump seems to be viewed positively in Nigeria. Why might that be?

Nigerians Like a Strongman Leader

Nigeria only witnessed its first democratic transfer of power in 2015, when President Muhammadu Buhari came to office. Prior to that, power had been seized in a series of military coups, including one by Buhari himself in 1983.

The country is therefore used to powerful figures making forceful decisions. In Nigeria’s current situation—where Boko Haram continues to ravage northeast Nigeria and the country is mired in recession—qualities such as boldness and impulsive decision-making can seem appealing, says Elizabeth Donnelly, Nigeria expert at Chatham House, an international affairs think tank. “In a context where you have deep insecurity in certain areas and an economic recession as well, possibly that kind of decisive, sharp, brash approach to things can have some appeal,” she says.

Trump’s regular use of executive orders and flagrant disregard for international condemnation—exemplified in his decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate accords—has already evoked comparisons with archetypal African leaders, including one by South African comic and Daily Show host Trevor Noah.

Trump’s Values Resonate

Part of the reason for Trump’s popularity in Nigeria may be the resonance of certain socially conservative values promoted by the Republican Party, according to Nic Cheeseman, an expert on African democracy at the University of Birmingham, U.K. For example, abortion is illegal in Nigeria, except when performed to save a woman’s life, and 98 per cent of Nigerians said that society should not accept homosexuality as a way of life in a 2013 Pew survey, the highest figure of all countries surveyed.

Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office banning federal money going to international groups that perform or give information on abortions. And while the president has said he is “fine” with same-sex marriage, the Republicans expressed a desire to overturn the legalisation in their 2016 election platform. “If you imagine a hardline Republican candidate, they wouldn’t be that far away on social issues from the average African voter,” says Cheeseman.

Trump is Willing to Sell Nigeria Weapons

Nigeria has been trying to buy attack helicopters from the U.S. since 2015 to expand its air capacity in the fight against Boko Haram. But under Obama, Washington demurred: The Nigerian military have a questionable human rights record and, when a sale looked imminent in early 2017, the country’s air force mistakenly bombed a refugee settlement in northeast Nigeria, killing more than 100 people.

President Buhari is one of the few African leaders to have spoken by phone with Trump. During the conversation in February, Trump “expressed support for the sale of aircraft from the United States to support Nigeria’s fight against Boko Haram”. While there is no indication the sale has gone through yet, the change in tone would have been welcomed in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

Secessionists Believe Trump Backs Their Cause

An anomaly in Nigeria’s favorable view of Trump is the pro-Biafra movement, which campaigns for secession from Nigeria for a region known as Biafra. The region, in southeast Nigeria, was the subject of a three-year civil war from 1967-1970 after Biafrans declared independence; more than 1 million people died in the conflict.

Pro-Biafran activists lauded Trump’s election victory in November 2016; the wife of Nnamdi Kanu, a leading figure in the secessionist movement, told Newsweek at the time that Trump would “uphold the self-determination rights of the indigenous people of Biafra”. In January, Nigerian police disrupted a rally after hundreds of pro-Biafra activists gathered in southeast Nigeria to celebrate Trump’s inauguration.

The fascination appears to be linked to Trump’s public support of the Brexit campaign in the U.K., when he tweeted the following: Self-determination is the sacred right of all free people’s, and the people of the U.K. have exercised that right for all the world to see.

Do Nigerians Want Their Own Trump?

Nigeria’s own president has been conspicuously absent for much of 2017. Buhari has been on medical leave in the U.K. since May 7—his second extended absence this year—and Nigerians have expressed frustration at the lack of clarity provided by the government on the president’s state of health.

With Nigeria going through economic, political and security travails, Cheeseman suggests that the country’s population may look enviously at the U.S., where the president has emphasised domestic priorities, rarely travelled abroad, and used executive orders to force through decisions and get things done. “Maybe they see that as something they would like in their own country right now,” he says.
