HealthRe: A Father's Daunting Experience With A Traditional Bone Setter by TheAlchemist: 4:52pm On Mar 28, 2016
After reading all comments, my 2 cents advice is start with orthodox medicine, if there is no improvement you can then consider the traditional bone setters!

But let me share an experience that i witnessed when i was much younger, my father's friend was shot with all those locally made gun, and so is body was riddled with pellets, He was then admitted to Lagoon hospital for treatment, and surgery was to be performed, my father arranged for someone to come from the village to have a look in, through certain forms of incantation and whatever the man opted to be discharged from the hospital, it caused a lot of issues with Lagoon Management. My father's friend is still alive hale and hearty!

I also know from what i witnessed first hand my brother had a broom stick stuck in his toes, all attempt to physically try to get to the broom stick failed as it was buried underneath the skin, my mother went out and looked for a particular tree and plucked the leaves, brought it back and squeezed it on the surface of my brother's skin, some minutes later the broken stick broom that was initially embedded under the skin was within reach and was removed without stress. She told me the knowledge was acquired when she lived in Ghana.

Wish there could be more collaboration between traditional medicine practitioners and our modern doctors.

MY friend SHARAP!!! The solution is to remove Electricity from the exclusive list. FG should hands off power and let states solve their power issues. States like Lagos ,Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Kano, Niger can provide 247 power to their residents.

Foreign AffairsRe: Saudi Arabia Seeks $6-8 Billion Loan To Shore Up State Coffers by TheAlchemist: 8:40am On Mar 10, 2016
Saudi Arabia borrowing can be termed strategic, just like America that has over 3 months supply of crude oil yet they keep on increasing there storage capacity, while Nigeria can not boast of even 1 week storage. The problem is that Nigerian borrowing is from desperation due to the dwindling foreign exchange... Beyond that most oil resource nation suffer from resource curse syndrome.. low or zero industrialization bases, lack of creativity from the leadership to the masses, poor policy formulation and implementation etc...

[size=18pt]The solution to put an end to ritual cultists and kidnappers and killers is to arrest all native doctors and spiritualists in every community in Nigeria and destroy all their shrines. [/size]
Simple Solution.. but i do not think the visionary leader who will dare implement such a policy is yet to be born. Which of our leaders and even the mass followers do not visit such places?
Other developed nations do not have spiritualists, or native doctors, yet we see their progress. No light, no water, chaotic transportation system....
#say no to Herbalist... NAFDAC must start doing clinical testing on all the so called concoction for trace of human parts...
All shrines where blood is spilled must be tested for human blood.... #notoshrines
It is time Nigeria break from this bondage! It is time for our Prosperity
& Miracle working Pastors to stop visiting native doctors.
All our politician stop visiting all these so called Alfas or native doctors!
The Devil never gives anything for FREE!
We need to make progress as a nation.

While i am not totally against the trip, but the truth is that every Nation will only implement policy that will be to her benefit. If stabilizing oil price is to the benefit of Saudi Arabia, surely Saudi Arabia government will implement such a policy and if not no matter how much pleading Nigeria does it will not implement such a policy.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Have You Ever Quit Your Job Without Having A Back Up Plan? by TheAlchemist: 8:44am On Feb 22, 2016
LionInZion:
Some years ago, my very stressful job was seriously affecting my health, so I quit without any plan b. I knew it would be tough and surely it was, couldnt pay my school fees, house rent, had to quit my degree part time programme, lived with my sister for several months, tried to get another better job to no avail. I later decided to learn a trade. Today I am an aluminium fabricator, living on my own, my job hasnt blown to its peak yet but it puts food on my table, about to go back to school soonest. Moreso, I decide how I spend my time and energy. But my question is are you still single or have someone who can cater for your basic needs? If no, it may be extremely difficult. quote from Robert Kiyosaki "Sometimes to start afresh, you just have to quit." Lastly, SOME JOBS ARE SO BAD THAT THE ONLY THING THEY OFFER IS MONEY AND IN TURN TAKE AWAY YOUR HAPPINESS.
thanks for your post

CrimeRe: Man Beheads Little Girl (Graphic Photo) by TheAlchemist: 3:46pm On Feb 18, 2016
The man must be mentally disturb... but how can a mentally disturb person visit an herbalist to request for money making rituals?
Perhaps the herbalist cast a spell on him, because it is the herbalist that actually needs the head for his own devilish purposes.
Can Africa survive without these so called herbalist?
If the man is so evil what of the herbalist that would willingly accept the head of a little child for whatever favour he wants to obtain from the gods!

The quantum of evil that is happening these days is so alarming, we get to hear much more of these in the south west because of the level of telecommunication penetration, but compared to the North you would be alarmed at the rate of ritual killings going on.
How does a country progress with the shedding of the blood of the innocent! No wonder things hardly work in the country.

RIP little one.

FamilyRe: How My Family Friend Accidentally Crushed His 4year Old Son's Hand by TheAlchemist: 11:28am On Feb 14, 2016
Chulex:
It was school day as usual and he was taking the kid to school. We all know how some kids find going to school every morning as hell and cry vehemently in protest.

So that was how this boy was crying the morning he about to be taken to school. The Father carried the little boy and put him in the back seat and shut the door.

Unfortunately the door caught the boy's hand and his crying increased. The father didn't bother to look back as his crying was habitual. He drove for over five minutes only for him to look back and find the boy and the car filled with blood.

His hand was badly damaged with his tender bones crushed too. Hearing the story gave me goosebumps. I pray he heals fast. It's good we pay detailed attention to our kids.

WICKED FATHER!!!

Only fool and imbeciles commit suicide when there is an option and better alternative to stay alive. Sensible normal thinking human beings will run today so as to continue fighting tomorrow. The major financier of the orka coup is alive today and enjoying his money because he ran when the heat was on . Every sensible intelligent soldier must know when to run and when to fight. Once a soldier is dead he is as useless as a dead dog . Charles Taylor ran away from doe only to come back and become the president. Don't play the hero when you have the opportunity to run because even ur wife will Bleep other men after 3 months and you will become a forgotten memory. He who fights today and runs only lives to fight another day. The coward will sit down with his children,wife in a nice wonderful mansion and be pointing to the grave of a brave man who is already rotten 6 feet below.i will rather be a living legend than a dead hero. Abiola could have been alive today and maybe even become the president if he had ran or played the fool then.
Life should be lived on certain principle. if I as a General lead millions of my people to an avoidable death, i can not just wake up and decide to run away from the chaos i created.... let us be frank Ojukwu had 3 options... die in the battlefield, wait to be arrested or take the Hitler option!

SportsRe: Lagos City Marathon:full Of Irregularites.it Was A Big Shame by TheAlchemist: 11:56am On Feb 07, 2016
[quote author=tpiar post=42690831][/quote]Are we trying to reinvent the wheels... the organizers should have gotten feed-backs from other marathon organizers on how to overcome people cheating... i took part in the race, we were all given a so called transponder attached to our race number... i now suspect the transponder was just pure marketing gimmick.

I got to start of the marathon quite late as i was held up in traffic... How could they manage traffic that would prevent participants going to the marathon venue from having easy access, beats my imagination.

My only regret was that upon finishing 41km, a lot of runners were refused access into Eko Atlantic because we had exceed the race closure time of 2:00P.M, After giving so much effort we should not have been denied the opportunity of getting to the finish line. The security personnel kept on shouting this is private property, private property, private... who send u message, why are you running when you are not from Kenya etc. etc. etc., no words of support or encouragement for all our efforts. I was not finding this funny, you mean an effort of 41km should just be dismissed like that. What the organizers failed to realize is that if you are using international cut off time one must consider the poor state of transportation, the likelihood of some people being held up in traffic due to poor traffic management.

All plea to the security men to open the gate and allow us to get to the finish line were rebuffed.

I feel most disappointed in the organizers, i think they were not ready to organize this event.

In Nigeria when you do the wrong thing you are rewarded, when you do the right thing you are punished! Runners who refused to start the race from the starting point are owner of the Lagos city marathon medals, while those of us while arriving at the venue late, but went to the starting line were not even allowed to complete the race even though only 1 km was left to finish line.

what happens is most of these guys go abroad, enjoy the marathons and half marathons come back to nigeria, realize it doesnt exist then create it.

it is done with a self serving interest don't be surprised if it costs lots of money to participate to keep those without money out.
Don't you consider it a shameful thing that a city as big as Lagos does not have a single marathon. If you know how much foreign exchange can be realized from a well organized marathon you will know it is not self serving. Beyond even the monetary benefit, it is a message for all and sundry to leave an active life in simple word keep your body and mind fit.

Ambode is looking into the avenue of sport tourism... i am sure Gov Ambode's vision is to make Lagos the premier destination for sport tourism ahead of South Africa.

Wont surprise me if we have a classic cycling event to follow the Lagos Marathon aka Tour de Lagos, why not.

We have great local talent that are ready to shock even the Kenya and other elite international marathoners.

Kudos to Gov. Ambode and His Team, and the Management of Access Bank.

CrimeRe: New Photos Of 4-year-old Boy Whose Eyes Were Plucked Out By Ritualists In Zaria by TheAlchemist: 2:09pm On Jan 30, 2016
First i quickly had to scroll down as i could, not bring my self to look at the pictures.

Those old enough might remember the case of the lady whose eyes were plucked out in a school in Lagos, by one of those called Northern Alfas when her neighbor misled her that there was a job vacancy in a school, this happened in Lagos.

It is so sad that till date such evil still reoccurs, what are the leaders in the North doing about this nothing? Why your guess is as good as mine! The person who requires the eye of the boys might likely need it to increase his power of divination, and people will troop to all these so called alfas, pastors and babas looking for solution to their problem sadly obliviously of the ways and means by which the alfas or babas are able to accomplish this. They receive whatever they want from the Devil, surely we all know the devil never gives anything free of charge.

Nigerians both Christian, Muslims and others once you get down on your knees and pray to Almighty God stop getting desperate by going to all these so called Babas since you can not be sure if their spiritual powers are obtained via human sacrifice.

Why the perpetrators of this dastardly act did not kill the boy, i suspect is part of the process of ensuring the efficacy of the ritual.

The boy most likely was destined for greatness, and obviously the devil quickly ensured his good destiny may likely not be realized for Nigeria.

i sincerely wish our traditional institutions will speak out vigorously against such crimes.... but their silence is even more worrisome.

Young boy nothing i say can bring back your sight... but may all those involved directly or indirectly be exposed in Jesus name!

Nigeria has failed you, inclusive of all our so called leaders!!!

Nigerians should began educating all these illiterate and ignorant folks that there is nothing like Ritual for money or wealth or even for protection. Protection can only come from God and wealth comes from hard work and making use of ones brains (like education) until these folks are schooled on this diabolic believe and mentallity these kinda senseless, barbaric and irrelevant murders (esspecially of innocent children) will never cease.
Moses dropped his rod and it turned to snake, the magician using the power from the devil did same.. God can make rich so can the devil... the difference is that God's riches adds no sorrow... what ever the devil gives he will surely come back to collect. Most affluent or big men are involved directly or indirectly, the indirect means is that he pays a BABA off for a solution without caring the ways and method the BABA intends to obtain the solution!

How evil works may surprise you and even the majority of us shouting loudest.... May God Almighty forgive us our sins and deliver us from this curse.
