EPILEPSY
A BRAIN DISORDER NOT A SPIRITUAL ATTACK
There is a story recently on all our news about a lady who is an epileptic patient allegedly fell face down into fire on one of her epileptic feet and sustained severe burn to her face. A relative later find her unconscious inside fire(that is pathetic isn't it). what actually brought my attention to this story is advise all this sympathizer are giving to the relative of the patient that they should not take her to hospital but rather a local herbalist in a neighboring village because a whole lots of people still believe that epilepsy is a spiritual or cultural illness which only treatable using traditional therapies.
When we look at this scenario, we will find out that the level of awareness on epilepsy disease is very low. a whole lot of people still need orientation to change their mindset that epilepsy is not a spiritual attack on the patient but rather a brain injury which the causes will still be discuss later on.
In my recent research on the impact of our movie industry in creating awareness on a disease such as epilepsy, I found out that they have been causing more harm than good, a scene like this was play in our home video(Nollywood) patient will only end up in a religious house and after praying for two minute or consulting oracle she is heal. In essence, this is actually wrong a media house suppose to be the one to entertain and at the same time teaches people and create awareness on how to handle such a diseases and not polluting their mind i think government should try and do something about this issue.
It was these kind of situation that make me to pick up my pen and research on
what actually is the cause of Epilepsy?
Is their any treatment for this kind of diseases?
Is it a curable ailment?
Or is it actually a spiritual attack on the patient?
Is it actually true that their is a lizard in the stomach of patient as our native doctor and movie industry we want us to believe.
Here is a few point i have gather that i think you need to know about epilepsy, Its causes, Symptoms, and Treatment before we proceed what did we actually mean by epilepsy.

EPILEPSY
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder in a lay man understanding a neurological disorder are disease of the brain,spine and also nerve that join them together. Epilepsy is other wise known as Seizure disorder, a seizure occur when some clusters of nerve cells in the brain sometimes give abnormal signal leading to strange sensation in the body of the victim and in his behavior which can lead to convulsion or loss of consciousness.
Epilepsy is not a contagious disease as it is widely believe in Africa that a victim of epilepsy should not be touched especially when he or she is unconscious because it was believe such a person that have contact with the patient is likely to contract the disease.
The superstitious, spiritual believe, discrimination against the patient and stigmatization surrounding the disorder have make a lot patient die in silent. A young lady almost lost her life recently when she was admitted to hospital do you know that her family were trying convince the medical personnel that her ailment is not medically treatable because their believe is that it was a spiritual attack by some witches in their village rather than admitting she had epilepsy and can only be cured by traditional healer. a lot of people in Africa do not get treatment due to the stigma, myths and misconception surrounding the disorder.

LET US CHANGE HOW WE VIEW EPILEPTIC PATIENT
1. That it was cause by some supernatural forces and it can only be cured by traditional healer or spiritualist
Their is nothing of such that it was a spiritual attacks that cause epilepsy it was just some certain tissue in the brain that refuse to develop or due to brain injury. do you know that some certain percent of American are suffering from epilepsy. So tell me if our own was caused by spiritual attack what would be the cause of people suffering from it in America.
2.Epilepsy is not an infection and for this reason it is not contagious.
You will not contract the disease by bodily contact with the patient so stop running away from them or stop giving them separate plate to eat. it is unfair
3. It is a genetically ailment
Do you know that epilepsy is hereditary and hereditary is a biological process whereby a parent passes certain genes onto their children or offspring. So it might not be their fault they are suffering from epilepsy it might have been passed by their parents or great grand parent to them.
4.The saliva and the foaming from the mouth of patient cannot transmit epilepsy
5.Epilepsy is not a spiritual attack,evil or a mysterious disease stop running away from people living with the disease
6. Epilepsy is a brain injury and not a lizard in the stomach of the patient as the native doctor and our movie industry we want us to believe.
7.Parent should stop locking their child or family member that is living with epilepsy at home, Instead they should seek medication for them seizure can be control to zero level of occurrence with a right drugs.

CAUSES OF EPILEPSY
Epilepsy can be cause in so many ways
1. It can be cause through illness
2. It can also be from brain damage e.g head injuries during accident
3. Sometimes it can be from abnormal brain development
4. It can also be cause through genetics influence
5. Head trauma- It can occur through car accident or any traumatic injuries.
TREATMENT
Although currently there is no permanent cure for epilepsy but it can be control with medication, In a recent research it was prove that with early diagnosis and right drugs patients symptoms will drastically improve and also their quality of life.
1. SURGERY
An uncontrolled epileptic patient can be treated with surgery known as Deep Brain Stimulation(DBS)
2. IT CAN BE TREAT THROUGH PRESCRIBE MEDICATION BY MEDICAL PERSONNEL
People with epilepsy can become seizure free or decrease the frequency of their seizure by taking anti-seizure medication know as anti- epileptic medication.
There is a need especially in Africa for our Government ,NGOs to create awareness on how epilepsy can be treated with medication and also Government should make and enforce law that will ban our movies industries from polluting peoples mind on health related issues such as Epilepsy, Mentally unstable patient etc that their illness are cause by spiritual or evil forces instead they should use their platform to teaches people that all this diseases such as epilepsy and insanity are mostly cause by brain disorder.

If epilepsy is not a spiritual attack, which disease is a spiritual attack ? I believe in medical procedures, any way. Food for thought. Jesus healed an epileptic patient by casting out the devil.

APC MAGIC .....

1. It took PDP 16 years to make a dollar = N197, but it took APC just 1 year to make a dollar N350.. ...
2 It took PDP 16 years to destroy Nigeria, but it took APC just 1 year to massacre, dismantle, kill and bury Nigeria. ...
3. It took PDP 16 years to make fuel price N87/ litre, kerosene at N100/litre and diesel at N115/litre. But it took APC 1 year to make petrol N145/litre, kerosene at N210/litre and diesel at N300/litre.
4. It took PDP 16 years to make Nigeria corrupt, but it took APC just 1 year to make Nigeria Fantastically corrupt.
5)It took PDP 16 years to keep the price of rice at N7,000 per bag, but took APC 1 year to project it to N18,000 per bag.
6) It took Jonathan 5yrs to travel to 15 countries, but it took Buhari 1 year to travel to 30 countries.
7)It took PDP 16years to apply resounding economic policies that made banks grow, but took APC 1 year to apply policies which they beg banks not to sack more staff.
CONCLUSIVELY; I am beginning to think that while PDP is better in administration,APC is better in opposition, that's why APC is still campaigning, blaming, promising and playing opposition party despite being the Ruling party after one year.

BE READY A REVOLUTION IS COMING!!!!

Anybody to quote me wrong?

Yeah ! This is the first time Bubu is making a smart choice.

Saudi Arabia with all its wealth never took there brothers as refugees, so did Qatar, Kuwait and Turkey... But Europe thought they were foolish and decided to take this people, we all saw this and warned about it, now we are hear... It will take years and millions to clean Europe of this fools
What I tell people is this... Any God who can fight his fights is no God.... I God wants to kill a people let him do it Hey his selfs

I don talk am before. Saudi Arabia, a the originator of Islam denied their brothers. There was a topic like this some days ago and one idiot said it was a reprisal attack . He was citing USA invasion of Iraq as a justifiable reason for the moslems to attack. U see how stupid some people can be ? Germany did not even support the war.

CACAWA:
[size=18pt]Thank God nobody is blaming Muslims now...but if this had happened in the North, you all will be quick to accuse Muslims of trying to islamise Nigeria.

[/size]

Let us be fair in our judgement..hating Muslims/Islam for no reason does not speak well of anyone's intelligence.
Let us call criminals criminals and not by their religion...there are many muslims, christians and atheists making the world a better place, just as there are exploiters too.

Na you talk Oh..... . No remind us Oh..,

HungerBAD:
Wasted life.

And by the evening,his name would have been forgotten.

When will people learn from history?thousands died during the civil war,but can any of us even remember the names of any?

But we do remember Ojukwu's name,that led them to their deaths,and also General Gowon,that liberated and ensured Nigeria remains one.

And how did Ojukwu that led thousands to war,and also fled from the War die?in his sleep.

He died peacefully after leading thousands to violent deaths.

To those that have ears,do not be deceived. Tell the likes of Kanu and Unwazuruike,to be on the front line too,to lead the chant for the break up of Nigeria,instead of giving orders via a Radio show.

Is protest the same as war ? Can't people stand for what they believe ?

Guess the effect of the dwindling economy is taking its toll on some "hustlers". A young man who bought an eggroll in Aba, Abia state was shocked after allegedly discovering a garden egg inside (egg na egg).

shehu313:
You are so devoid of truth and humanity.

What govt did his father form? When APC was soliciting for votes before elections, they paid him visit. El-Rufai visited him to pay condolence for the 34 members of the IMN who were killed under Jonathan. El rufai called it "genocide" by "the Jonathanian army". And Jonathan called Zakzaky on phone and apologized. Jonathan obviously didn't order for that killing in July 2014, like Buhari ordered for the Zaria massacre in December 2015. But when the same Nigerian army under Tyrant Buhari committed a genocide in the same Zaria, elrufai and Buhari justified it, assuming they really did not give order for the Zaria massacre.

His father's followers on the road, who were shot at anyways and killed to clear way for Chief of Terror Staff Tukur Buratai, beat the chest of generals. Fine. Is that justification for killing hundreds of more people away from the road incident? Is that why Zakzaky was shot and his wife, a mother of seven shot and their three children killed in front of their eyes? Are you a human being or a b a s t a r d?

You really not after telling truth. You are deliberately sent to lie on this forum. May God judge you. What arms are you talking about? They demolished all properties belonging to the IMN, where are the arms? Even the kangaroo commission set up by the kaduna state govt did not find evidence of these arms you are lying about. If the IMN members are armed, the coward tyrant Buhari govt will dialogue with them. They are oppressed not because your army is brave or Buhari is anything more than a coward tyrant. It is because those people are unarmed. They are being oppressed for choosing peace. Imagine if Zakzaky was Sunni. Imagine how many churches would have senselessly been burnt and Christians killed in the north. But no, Zakzaky is Shia and killing indiscriminately innocent people isn't part of his belief. When the Niger delta militants threatened Buhari, he cancelled his visit to port harcourt. With this injustice and oppression, it is the govt that is pushing innocent and peaceful people to carry arms and fight for their rights. And if the Shiites choose to do that after all peaceful resorts are exhausted, Buhari will regret his actions. Shiites will not go about targeting Christians or Sunnis or civilians at large. It will be a brace fight against injustice and perpetrators of injustice, as Shiites are known for standing up bravely to fight for their cause the world over. You do not trample upon the rights of defenseless people like this. Zakzaky is capable of forming a million man army if he wanted to choose a violent path. These are people who have renounced violence and bloodshed, but the govt keeps shedding their blood unjustly. What statement does this translate to? It means the govt is pushing them to fight and create tension and instability in the land. Buhari is asking for trouble. When he's served trouble, he will then beg to dialogue. He wants to destroy this country and further create divisions. The people are bitter about this massacre.

Are the Shiites not victims of Buhari's boko haram? So when one group is causing problems, are you justified to merciless brutalize and murder in cold blood another group that hasn't taken up arms but is a peaceful social and religious group?

Are you sure your mother was inseminated with the semen of a man or that of a beast? You are justifying the cold blooded murder en masse of hundreds of people who were killed at four different locations and dumped in mass graves as revenge for a road block protest by their coreligionists. Is this a country or a lawless jungle?

Where is Seun and Lalasticlala? This thread deserves to be on the front page. If it was one senseless topic about a faceless group sponsored by the govt or Buratai's army to stage paid protests in campaign of calumny against the IMN and to spread propaganda, the thread will quickly make front page.

If this thread doesn't make front page, nairaland is a virtual partaker in injustice and bloodshed.

It's so pathetic when people utter such statements. It shows ignorance and close mindedness.

U really need to step out of ya wasteland and know Nigerian geography. I get mad when supposed enlightened ppl make this kind of erroneous assumptions. ESE not EZE oruru is not Igbo. To ur likes any one not yoloba or Hausa is Igbo.

This was how a masters degree holder yoloba man was arguing with me that ibori is Igbo bc of IBO in ibori.

Travel out dude and stop embarrassing urself

RIP woman. The husband has a lot of work to do. Y is Adeboye not there?

Was Eze Oruru absconded and forcefully converted to Muslim because Ibos want one Nigeria at all cost?
Una never get Biafra, your leaders in their respective factions don dey shoot themselves during the meeting all because of money. Yet, you have the gut to sacrifice sympathy on the altar of ethnicity.

Many are mad but only few are roaming to be honest.

I don't like to bring tribalism here but the truth is that these abokis are becoming too overbearing. Igbos are not the problem. In the case of Ese Oruru, there was an uproar. What happened to this lady is very painful. Christians, the RCCG leadership, VP and the Yorubas have failed the family.

Moslems have their mosques littered everywhere in this country yet no one has laid hands on them. In Ph, there's one big mosque not too far from where I stay but no one disturbs them.
When they hold their afternoon prayers, they don't allow you to pass certain areas but no one rioted. Can you hold open air service in Kano and not expect their youths to attack you ?

Exxit:
Damn. Nigerians can believe anything. That's why they are where they are right now. In the united states if Muhammed Ali actually had a child, he must pay child support and make sure he gets a better life till he turn 18. (2) Muhammad Ali is q very religious and devoted Muslim, he would never ever do such a thing. Thirdly, unless the he included the son to the will, he won't get a share of the money. The whole story is fake as hell. Muhammad Ali will probably spend time in jail if all these where true

Well, it's not Punch or Vanguard that reported the story. So why are you abusing Nigerians as if they invented the story ? Have you read the comments of some foreigners on this issue ?

BetaThings:
Even if a Muslim does not pray or fast or whatever any crime he commits is in the name of Islam
right?

This your salvation through lying and propaganda is going to illogical limits
Islam prescribes punishment for sex outside marriage - everybody knows that
Now you are saying it is in the name of Islam

Don't deceive yourself - on the day of judgement God will not take decisions based on NL's posts



So John is now a Muslim name?
But to you and your fellow propagandists any Ibrahim from the North is a Muslim even if his religion is not mentioned

I note that Like late Gov Ibrahim Yakowa from Kaduna state was a Christian
As a private citizen he would have been called a Muslim if he committed any crime

I'm not here to justify any crime no matter who commits it. And I did not mention any religion.

madridguy:
Look at hypocrites everywhere, no one above care to insult the man religion or his tribe. If na other way round, you see then shouting " na their religion " you see them blaming it on Buhari.

Meanwhile, the useless man need better beating till he join his ancestors. Evil men everywhere.

1. He did not rape her in the name of his religion as other religions do.
2. His religion was not mentioned. He may as well be your fellow religion practitioner.

Ontarget:
I hope it is not Islamic terrorists again or else that poster who says terrorists only strike in retaliation will have to explain this one cos I don't think Germany has been attacking any islamic country.

Thank you very much. France and Belgium wey no do anything, dem still bomb. When plenty of dem be refugees, dia broda, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar or UAE no help them. Na West them wan come.

IamPatriotic:
It is not this lady's fault that she was given a job that will overwhelm her, it is Buhari's fault that a position as sensitive as that of NPA chair is given to a tiro because she "brought Jonathan down on his kneels", we shall see more pictures in the days to come since that is the only evidence to prove that the government is working,
