you are free to throw insults and talk anyhow you like afterall na you get your mouth

Igbo people asked for Biafra, Nigeria refused and said the
country must be one. Danish man draws cartoon of
Mohammed in faraway Denmark, you people go around
killing Igbos and destroying their properties in the North.
Philips Emegwali invents a super-fast computer, you said a
"Nigerian" invents. Igbo student in diaspora makes good
grades, you said a "Nigerian" graduates top of the class. But
Ikechukwu Abia is caught trafficking drugs, you said an "Igbo"
man is caught with drugs abroad. Igbo man do his business
and prosper, you people said they want to steal your land
and rule over you. 90% of oil blocs in the South are owned
by Northerners, you people do not say they have stolen
someone's land and resources. Igbos ask for the Presidency,
you people laugh at them and say "over your dead body."
The North has rule Nigeria for over 38years and they keep
threatening everyone else that they are being marginalized,
and so they start bombing everywhere, you people say let's
negotiate with them. Igbos vote for Jonathan, you people
said they are myopic and tribalistic. The North and the West
voted for Buhari, you people said it is called "change" and
democracy. Igbos rally behind Jimi Abaje, you people said
they will drown in the lagoon. Ambode won, you people
start cursing them. Adamu Ciroma and co said "The North
would make this country ungovernable if a Northerner does
not become President" and "They'll be no Nigeria if power
does not return to the North". You people call them "Elder
Statesmen","Party Stalwart", "Northern leader", etc. Nnamdi
Kanu says the same thing but you people call him "a retard",
"treasonable criminal", "war-monger", "evil" and so on.
During the last elections, Radio and TV stations in the North
play jihad songs while making anti-GEJ campaigns, say all
sorts of things in Hausa, no newspaper headline asked for
them to be banned. Of course you people call it politics.
Radioactivity Biafra does same, all hell is let loose. You
people say they spreading bigotry and dangerous
propaganda. Do you people have an IGBOPHOBIA? Of
course not! No one will agree. But do you think the Igbos are
problems, everyone will raise their hands. But we ask, why
don't you let the Igbos separate and go their way, you
people give me that terrorist look. Dear landlords, just one
question: What do you want the Igbos to do to please you?

The International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) will honour former Chairman Attahiru Jega of Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Congressman Ed Royce (R-Calif.) with its 2015 Charles T. Manatt Democracy Award. They will receive the award at a special ceremony co-chaired by IFES Board Director and Baker & Hostetler LLP Partner Ambassador Tom McDonald and Manatt, Phelps & Phillips LLP Partner June L. DeHart on September 29, in Washington D.C. “Chairman Jega’s leadership was instrumental to Nigeria’s successful general elections in 2015,” said IFES President and CEO Bill Sweeney. “He deserves full credit for his efforts to increase the credibility and transparency of the electoral process under extreme logistical challenges, such as terrorist threats from Boko Haram, where failure could prove the catalyst for predicted election violence,” added Sweeney. Jega’s expert management of the 2015 general elections positioned him as a credible election administrator. The complex Nigerian electoral environment consisted of 69 million eligible voters, 155,000 polling booths and 700,000 temporary staff deployed across the country. These recent elections resulted in the country’s first democratic transfer of power. “I am deeply honored to accept the 2015 Democracy Award from IFES. INEC’s long- standing partnership with IFES in preparation for the 2015 general elections resulted in a credible process accepted by Nigerian citizens and the international community. These elections have put Nigeria on the right path toward democratic stability,” said Chairman Jega. Leader Pelosi is the Democratic Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives for the 114th Congress. From 2007 to 2011, Leader Pelosi served as Speaker of the House, the first woman to do so in American history. For 28 years, Leader Pelosi has represented San Francisco, California’s 12th District in Congress. She has led House Democrats for more than a decade and previously served as House Democratic Whip. During her nearly three decades in Congress, Leader Pelosi has been a leading advocate for women’s empowerment and gender equality.

Gregory Erhabor is the founder and Project Coordinator, Asthma and Chest Care Foundation; Consultant Chest Physician and immediate past President of Nigerian Thoracic Society and professor of Medicine, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State. He spoke to PAUL ADUNWOKE on management of chest diseases and asthmatic patients. Why your interest in thoracic/chest medicine? THERE is increasing pollution in the country and many have taken to smoking, thus manifesting chest diseases like chronic obstructive lung disease, occupational lung diseases and worsening cases of asthma. Moreover, a disease like tuberculosis is one of the leading infectious diseases in the world and Nigeria is one of the high burden countries. It’s rather unfortunate that a number of politicians, men of God, commissioners and big men in this country have died of Asthma, lung cancer and other chest diseases, yet only a few is aware that these diseases can be prevented and properly managed. That is why Asthma and Chest Care Foundation (ACCF) was established to provide patient care, education, pursue research, train health professionals and offer philanthropic programmes for patients with asthma – free distribution of asthma drugs and information materials – in order to ensure that no life is lost as a result of asthma or other chest conditions again in Nigeria. We encourage all patients and individuals with cough of more than two to three weeks, sputum production, haemoptysis (coughing out of blood), chest wall pain, noisy breathing, breathlessness, frequent colds, loss of weight, loss of appetite, fever and night sweats to report to the nearest health facility for necessary tests. Let’s take a look at the statistics: about 10 to 15 million Nigerians are suffering from asthma. In our study among University undergraduates between the ages of 15 – 35yrs in Southwestern Nigeria, we reported a prevalence of 18.7 per cent. Again, 14.1per cent of the respondents had probable asthma while another 4.3per cent had suspected asthma totaling 18.7 per cent. A number of them, living with the condition have not been diagnosed and many remain untreated. In the past, asthma was seen as a disability but today, with proper treatment and preventive measures, asthma can be controlled. Hence, the awareness by the foundation aims at educating and ensuring that patients are free from asthma. By doing this, the number of asthmatic patients presenting with life threatening symptoms will reduce and patients will be properly diagnosed. I have other programmes on heart and lungs- related diseases but what inspired me for the asthma prevention and management initiative is the fact that people always talk about treatment and cure for diseases but nobody talks about prevention. Again, there are few places around, where one can get proper treatment. I believe it’s much easier to prevent diseases than to cure them. So, my focus had been on possible ways of stopping the disease; finding better ways to help patients in this fight for breath. Topmost on my mind is a question like ‘how can I ensure they lived a better life?’ As a response to this, I resorted to educating asthmatic patients and those with other chest conditions, like Tuberculosis, lung cancer and pneumonia among others. And to achieve these, I embarked on advocacy and organising training for medical doctors so as to ensure that those with chest and lungs-related diseases have what it takes to live a healthy life. We partner with other organisations, NGOs and other institutions to help achieve these goals. They include; American College of Chest Physicians, American Thoracic Society, Breathe Easy Foundation, UK etc. How severe can asthma attack be and how does chest medicine handle the challenges? Severe attacks are common causes of death from Asthma and one of the major problems is that asthmatic patients are unable to recognise the seriousness of these attacks. However, a number of pointers could help in determining whether or not, an attack is severe. If these pointers were well understood and monitored by asthmatic patients, a drastic decrease in mortality rates would be recorded. They need to watch out, for an increased frequency in night attacks, that is, waking up more than once at night because of wheeze, cough or difficulty in breathing. Again, asthma attack presents increasing limitation in day-to-day activities such as, climbing stairs, cooking and other household chores is noticed. Another pointer is increased dependence on bronchodilators – drugs that opens the airways. For instance, using inhaler, between four and six times a day is a sign of a severe attack. Other things to watch out for are fever, infections of the throat, sinuses and lungs; all of which may trigger a severe attack. Deterioration of peak flow reading and bluish appearance of the tongue, lips and fingertips are also to be observed.

Satguru Maharaji ji, the founder of One Love Family, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to use traditional means to tackle the Boko Haram insurgency. Maharaj ji gave the advice on Sunday in Ibadan at a press conference to mark the 35th anniversary of the One Love Family in Nigeria. He said that this approach became necessary in order to overcome the incessant killing of innocent people by the terrorist group. Maharaji ji said traditional leaders have some powerful traditional deities that could help find solution to the Boko Haram insurgency within weeks. “If the traditional leaders are involved in the process of addressing the issue, the crisis will soon be forgotten. “The president needs to consult people such as me and other traditional leaders to break the myth surrounding the Boko Haram terrorist movement. “They do not know the teachings of Islam and need to be dealt with traditionally because they are being used by some people and they use religion as a cover to create trouble,’’ Maharaj ji said. Maharaj ji lauded Buhari for his initiative on salary cut, adding that more steps needed to be taken in reducing the cost of governance. He also advised Buhari to set up a Salary Restructure Committee to look into the salaries and allowances of the President, Vice President, members of the National Assembly and ministers with a view to reducing their emoluments. “The committee would come out with a uniform salary scale and allowances that would not be as much as the present one. “This would be better than an individual cutting his salary and the others not doing so. “The money generated from this reduction can be used for development projects that would have direct impact on the ordinary masses,’’ he said. He also urged the president to monitor the constituency allowances being given to the National Assembly members by ensuring that the money was being used judiciously. “In order to eradicate corruption, the politicians should be made to swear with the god of iron instead of using Quran and Bible during their inauguration. “This will bring sanity into the system and prevent political office holders from stealing public funds because thunder will strike the thieves among them to death instantly,’’ he said. The One Love Family leader warned against same sex marriage, saying it should not be allowed in Africa as it remains a taboo on the continent.
