Press Release: Depression Rates Peak In Older Age– Older Men And Women Are Taking Action To Raise Awareness In Lagos, Ogun And Zamfara State In Nigeria

Older campaigners mobilise on World Health Day (7 April) to raise awareness of depression in older age.

Age Demands Action’s older campaigners in Ilara, Odonoforija in Eredo Local Council Development Area, Ogeere and its immediate communities in Ogun State and Zamfara in Northern  Nigeria will join thousands of people from more than 40 countries on World Health Day to make sure the voices of older people are heard and to encourage them to talk about depression.

ADA is a global platform for older people to campaign on the issues that matter to them. Each year on World Health Day hundreds of older people take action to raise awareness about health issues affecting them and how governments can make changes.

There will be Conscious Raising Summit for the Older people with the topic Depression in Older Age, Free Medical Treatment, dancing, football novelty match, indoor-games competitions. It is a one week activities that will take place in Lagos and Ogun State in Nigeria. Older campaigners will pay a courtesy visit to the Sole Administrator Eredo Local Government in Eredo Epe Lagos State. Hon Okesanya Muyiwa and the Executive Governor of Lagos State Mr Akinwunmi Ambode. The Older Campaigners will present the fact sheet on Depression to the government officials and demand for free medical treatment for Older people in Eredo LCDA and Lagos State generally.

“ We are happy for the government efforts in providing more Primary Health Centers and improving on the existing ones in the state we want to use this campaign to appeal to the government to provide free medical surgeries on cataracts for the older people in Lagos State”, said Mrs. Tomiwa. Another Older campaigner Pastor Okewande said “ We will also ask the Sole Administrator (Chairman) of Eredo Local government who has been making life worth living for us the older people by bringing development to our communities within his short stay in the office to facilitate building of  recreation parks for older people within the communities in his Local Council Development Area. This will help combat depression in older people in the area”. He concluded.

Globally, an estimated 350 million people of all ages suffer from depression, and 7% of older people are affected.

Multiple social, psychological and biological factors determine a person’s mental health. But the circumstances older people face mean they are more likely to experience isolation, loss of independence and loneliness. They may, for example, face bereavement due to the loss of a loved one, or a drop in socioeconomic status and income with retirement. These factors can contribute to depression.

“Depression is an important public health problem and its devastating in old age.15 % of older people in Nigeria suffers from depression. It is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and decreased physical, cognitive and social activities. Depression affect people differently .At worse it can lead to suicide. A number of lifestyles changes can help people manage the symptoms which include exercise, diet, St John Wort and spirituality,” said Dr Tosin Hassan, Medical Adviser at Age Nigeria Foundation.

 “There are plenty of actions governments can take to tackle depression in older age. They can ensure access to treatment and support such as counselling, address income insecurity through pensions, and facilitate Older People’s inclusion in society”. Age Nigeria foundation, a non- governmental organisation that advocates for the welfare and right of Older People in Nigeria has different projects and initiatives which are helping the Older People contribute to their immediate communities in different parts of Nigeria. With the establishment of Centers For Creative Ageing and Research ( CEFCARE) in Lagos and Ogun State. The centers  serve as recreational and developmental base where Older People come together in the community where they are established to advocate for their rights, interact ,exchange ideas, play games and exercise to keep fit and healthy, share life experience with their peers and embark on self help projects that will empower them in the society . The centers are designed to help them fight loneliness and depression through resilient building with several initiatives and self help projects initiated by the centers to encourage older people participation in the development of their communities and stay active. CEFCARE main objective is to create age friendly environment in Nigeria.

Older people in Ilara and Odonoforija in Eredo-Epe Local Council Development Area of Lagos State and Ogeere and its immediate communities in Ogun State Nigeria are uniting with thousands of others worldwide as part of the HelpAge International’s Age Demands Action campaign.

Older men and women are marching, meeting with Ministers of Health and hosting poetry events in their countries to raise awareness of depression and other health issues affecting older people.

“It is important older men and women know that mental health and emotional wellbeing are as important in older age as at any other time of life,” said Kate Wedgwood, Director of 

Network, Advocacy, Communications and Campaigns at HelpAge International.

“Building on the momentum to tackle ageism by campaigners last year, we are encouraging older people to challenge ageism within the health sector too. This is crucial in ensuring increased access to health services for older people, including treatment for depression.” 

What You Need To Know About Meningitis

There is an outbreak of cerebrospinal meningitis across some states in the country.  Even though the federal ministry of health has advised Nigerians to remain calm as it is working to put an end to the spread of the epidemic, it is important that every Nigerian is made aware of the health risk posed by the disease.

Meningitis is a serious illness that can be life threatening. Boade Akinola the director media and public relations at the federal ministry of health said that although, “this is not the first time or the worst epidemic ever faced by Nigeria, this round of the epidemic has come with a difference, as all previous epidemics were caused by Neisseria Meningitides type ‘A’, but this year we are recording Neisseria Meningitides type C in epidemic proportion for the first time.”

More than 2,524 people have so far been affected by the Cerebrospinal meningitis (CSM) outbreak, with 328 deaths recorded in ninety Local Government Councils of 16 states of the federation.

The states involved include, Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Nassarawa, Jigawa, FCT, Gombe, Taraba, Yobe, Kano, Osun, Cross River, Lagos and Plateau.

What is meningitis?

Meningococcal meningitis is a serious bacterial infection. It affects the protective lining of the brain and the spinal cord or “meninges.”

It is usually spread via saliva or mucus. Kissing, living in close or communal spaces, or sharing cups and eating utensils are all ways to get the infection.

The most common causes of meningitis are viral and bacterial infections. Other causes may include cancer, chemical irritation, fungi, and drug allergies.

The most common kinds are viral and bacterial meningitis both contagious and can be transmitted by coughing, sneezing, or close contact.

Viral meningitis

According to Healthline, a health journal, viral meningitis is the most common type of meningitis. Viruses in the Enterovirus category cause 85 percent of cases.

Viruses in the Enterovirus category cause about 10 to 15 million infections per year, but only a small percentage of people who get infected will develop meningitis. Viral meningitis typically goes away without treatment.

Fungal Meningitis
Fungal meningitis is rare and usually caused by fungus spreading through blood to the spinal cord. Although anyone can get fungal meningitis, people with weakened immune systems, like those with an HIV infection or cancer, are at increased risk.

The most common cause of fungal meningitis for people with weak immune systems is Cryptococcus. This disease is one of the most common causes of adult meningitis in Africa.

How it Spreads

Fungal meningitis is not spread from person to person. Fungal meningitis can develop after a fungus spreads through the bloodstream from somewhere else in the body to the brain or spinal cord or from an infection next to the brain or spinal cord.


Bacterial Meningitis

Bacterial meningitis is contagious and caused by infection from certain bacteria. The medical journals warns that it is fatal if left untreated between 5 to 40 percent of children and 20 to 50 percent of adults with this condition die.

Prolonged close contact with an infected person may increase risk of transmission. This is a concern in day care centres, schools, and college dormitories.

The bacteria can also spread through saliva, mucus, kissing, sharing eating utensils, coughing, sneezing, and contaminated food

Medical experts say a lot of people have meningitis-causing bacteria in their throats or noses, even if they do not get sick, they can still spread it to others.

According to the World Health Organization, the incubation period is between two and 10 days. The largest concentration of meningococcal disease is in sub-Saharan Africa.

The US Center for diseases control  (CDC), estimates that about 4,100 cases of bacterial meningitis are reported each year in the United States.

Common symptoms of meningitis include sudden high fever and chills, headache, stiff neck, purple areas on the skin that look like bruises. The symptoms usually come on suddenly, within one week of being exposed to the bacteria.

Other less common symptoms of meningitis are confusion, particularly in older adults, nausea and vomiting, sensitivity to light, rash, usually a symptom appearing during later stages, drowsiness and fatigue, seizure, coma.

Children tend to display different symptoms of meningitis than adults and they include irritability, partial seizures, red or purple rashlike areas on the skin, projectile vomiting, difficulty with feeding, high-pitched crying.

Reducing meningitis risk

Common precautions medical practitioners advise are regular washing of hands with warm water and soap before eating, after using the toilet, after changing a diaper, or after tending to someone who is ill.

They further counsel against sharing eating utensils, straws, or plates and maintain hygiene as regards covering nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing.

Parents are also urged to stay up to date with immunizations and booster shots for meningitis and seek immediate medical help when a child exhibits symptoms.

Taking Fanta, Sprite With Vitamin Is Poisonous” – Court Orders NAFDAC To Warn Nigerians

A Lagos State High Court, Igbosere, yesterday ordered the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to compel Nigeria Bottling Company (NBC) Plc, manufacturers of Fanta and Sprite soft drinks, to include a written warning that the drinks should not be taken with Vitamin C.

Justice Adedayo Oyebanji gave the order while delivering judgment in a suit by a Lagos businessman, Dr. Emmanuel Fijabi Adebo, and his firm, Fijabi Adebo Holdings Ltd., against NBC and NAFDAC.

The court warned that taking Fanta and Sprite with Vitamin C is poisonous and awarded N2 million against NAFDAC for failing “to live up to expectations”.

It said NAFDAC failed Nigerians by certifying as satisfactory for human consumption, products which, in the United Kingdom (UK), failed sample test for human consumption and became poisonous in the presence of Ascorbic Acid, known as Vitamin C.’

The plaintiffs urged the court to declare the NBC was negligent and breached the duty of care owed its customers and consumers in the production of Fanta and Sprite with excessive “benzoic acid and sunset” additive.

Fijabi also urged the court to direct NAFDAC to conduct routine laboratory tests of all soft drinks and allied products of the company, to guarantee their safety.

Counsel to the plaintiffs, Mr. Abiodun Onidare, in an amended statement of claim, alleged that sometime in March 2007, Fijabi Adebo Holdings purchased large quantities of Coca-Cola, Fanta Orange, Sprite, Fanta Lemon, Fanta Pineapple and Soda Water from NBC for export to the UK for retail purpose.

“In consideration of the fact that this case was filed in 2008 and has been in court for nine years, N2 million is awarded against NAFDAC. Interest shall be paid on the cost awarded at the rate of 10 per cent per annum until liquidation of the said sum,” Justice Oyebanji said.

Health Facts About Urinary Tract Infection

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of any point along the urinary tract, from the urethra (in the penis) known as urethritis through the bladder (cystitis) to the kidneys (pyelonephritis).

In adults, women are more likely to have UTI than men, probably due to their having a shorter urethra (for passing out urine) than the longer one in men, which allows shorter and easier migration of disease-causing microorganisms up along their urinary tract.

You may be having a urinary tract infection if you're experiencing some of these below:

1. Feeling a burning sensation whenever you're urinating. In addition, there may be this need to always go urinate and an increase in the number of times you urinate in a day, all of which you never experienced before.

2. A feeling that your bladder is full every time or pain somewhere near your pubic hair area or on either side of your lower abdomen towards your back near the rib cage.

3. In some cases, people with UTI may see streaks of blood in their urine.

4. Because it is an infection, some people with UTI do have fever, chills and generalized body weakness.

If you're experiencing some of the above, especially the first two, quickly visit a good hospital near you to see a doctor. Any good hospital should be able to recommend and, in most cases, carry out the following tests on you after the doctor has asked you series of questions and examined you:

1. Urinalysis: this analyses your urine with special chemicals or a strip of paper (dipstick) for things like white blood cells, protein, and other chemicals called nitrite and leucocyte esterase, which indicate you may be having a UTI if they are found in the urine.

2. Urine Microscopy, Culture and Sensitivity: this test examines your urine under the microscope for white and red blood cells; part of the urine is also cultured for the particular microorganism causing the UTI, and the identified microorganism is now tested against a batch of antibiotics to find which ones are most effective against it.

Once the causative microorganism has been identified, the most effective antibiotics will be prescribed by the doctor. And you will be instructed to comply with the prescribed antibiotics for effective treatment of the UTI.

Failure to complete the prescribed antibiotics as instructed, even if all the symptoms you were having resolved in the first two days, the UTI will not be treated effectively; and there's a very high chance the UTI will reoccur and this time will be more difficult to treat due to the microorganism developing resistance to the antibiotics.

Also, while on treatment for UTI, endeavour to drink enough water as this makes you urinate more which helps wash your urinary tract of microorganisms that may cause urinary tract infection. Women should urinate immediately after sexual intercourse to lower the risk of intercourse-associated bacteria migrating into the bladder where they can cause urinary tract infection.

Buhari Medical Vacation (Must Read)

President Muhammed Buhari

If President Muhammadu Buhari arrives in Abuja tomorrow, and regales the nation with phenomenal sprints, reminiscent of an Olympic athletics gold medallist, the lingering controversy about his health status and rumoured death will remain with us for several months to come.

 

Traumatised, along with Buhari’s family members, is a nation agog with rumours and social media frenzy announcing the President’s death or abject health status, painting scenarios of every conceivable stripe. New websites sprung up to amplify deafening rumours about the coming Armageddon in the event of the President’s death. It is difficult to know what to believe in the midst of so much conflicting information, official denials through photographs dismissed by some as exhumed from old files and other photographs circulated on social media showing Buhari as vegetating. Rumour, communication scholars tell us, predominates in societies where information is artificially made scarce, and officialdom speaks in muffled tones or engages in blatant doublespeak. The information managers of President Buhari are without doubt splendid professionals but their skills would appear to have been tested to their very limits with the way and manner they have so far handled this admittedly sensitive national issue.

 

It all began with the use of the word “medical vacation”, which naturally provoked the question: What is a medical vacation? A vacation is planned well ahead of time especially for executives with heavy work schedules; but there were suggestions of an emergency in the way the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, rushed back from an international conference in Europe to direct the nation’s affairs. Medical vacation? Does this remind anyone of the expression “alternative facts”, recently popularised by Kellyanne Conway, Senior White House official, in the Donald Trump presidency in the United States?

 

When you factor too that Buhari had gone on two earlier “medical vacations” to London in the course of a Presidency that is less than two years old, then you begin to see some of the reasons for concern and what the US-based Professor, Farooq Kperogi, once described as the “Yaraduanisation of Buhari’s health”. Kperogi’s article published in the Daily Trust in June last year expressed the alarm at the way in which Buhari’s media handlers more or less misled the public on his June 2016 trip to the United Kingdom. The trip occurred only a few days after information officials had insisted that “the President is as fit as a fiddle”. Subsequent events, of course, contradicted this “alternative fact”. A similar scenario would appear to have played out in the current imbroglio, to the extent that the government information department consistently downplayed what would appear to have been a somewhat serious medical condition.

 

Another issue raised in Kperogi’s article is also pertinent here. This concerns Buhari’s persistent recourse to overseas treatment, despite spending so much, N4bn, in 2016, on the upgrade of the Aso Rock Clinic. The scholar, quoting a British journalist, had asked humorously how the President would feel were he to be treated by one of the many Nigerian doctors in the UK. This point should be taken in the context of an earlier directive by the President concerning public officials not going for overseas medical treatment at public expense. In other words, is this a case of one set of rules for the rulers and another set of rules for the citizens? Whatever the arguments drummed up in its support, there is a hint of national embarrassment and abasement in our persistent failure to build a world class medical facility in Nigeria where our leaders would feel comfortable to be treated.

 

There are several ways of reading the ongoing drama and national frenzy surrounding Buhari’s rumoured death or terminal incapacity. The heated discourse, laced with huge doses of irrationality, has tapped into the national question especially the North-South divide and religious polarisation, with conspiracy theory mushrooming about the North seeking to frustrate an Osinbajo Presidency if matters came to that. It is to Buhari’s credit however that he made a proper handover to Osinbajo before leaving for London.

 

There, also, is the fact that this saga is occurring in the midst of a heated debate concerning the governance record of the Buhari administration especially as soar away inflation continues to ravage the pockets of Nigerians. Illustrative of this ferment is the proposed march spearheaded by award winning hip pop star, 2face Idibia, scheduled for next Sunday and Monday, as well as the alternate march being organised by the Buhari Nationwide Solidarity Group. This apart, one encounters these days an audacity of diatribe against Buhari’s performance on the part of activists, some of whom advertised themselves as disillusioned former supporters of the President (see Sunday PUNCH, January 29, 2017).True, it is uncharitable and ill-mannered to wish anyone who is languishing death or grave illness. As some commentators have noted however, there may be a covert link between the uncharitable proclamations and the nation’s current doldrums in which very few things seem to work. Of course, it is stupid to imagine that if Buhari, God forbid, is out of the way, the nation will suddenly recover. Nonetheless, we must pity those who are seeking escapes into death wishes and fantasy in order to feel good.

 

All said and done, there is the feeling that a veil of secrecy hangs around the health status of the number one citizen, with the possible implication that those who know or ought to know are complicit in a conspiracy of half-truths. For as long as this state of affairs persists, rumours of every kind will feast on the veil of silence or reticence. Once the lid is lifted and information begins to circulate about the true state of things, the vendors of the rumour mills and social media fabricators will lose their jobs. Before the election that produced the Buhari Presidency, this columnist admonished due diligence with respect to Candidate Buhari as he was at the time (The raging controversy about Buhari’s health, The PUNCH, January  23, 2015).Warning that “Nigeria has a history of sleep-walking into avoidable crises”, I drew attention to certain comments concerning the state of the President’s health, and the need for the nation to have full disclosure. Nothing of the sort happened as my voice was drowned in a din of partisan noises, made shrill by the exigencies of the campaign season.

 

Even as of today, we are none the wiser concerning the status of the President’s health except as we infer it from his overseas “medical vacation”. The ongoing controversy and crude death wishes should serve as a turning point for reversing the gap in communication, especially in a democracy. Only the President, not his advisers, can shed complete light on his medical history. It is possible, even likely that in a polarised polity such as ours, full disclosure may well lead to calls for the President’s impeachment, especially if he does not have a clean bill. But even at that, legislators are discerning enough to differentiate a very bad case from one that grudgingly passes the mark.

 

The bottom line is that Nigerians should no longer feel deceived or cheated concerning the facts about a President who, his weaknesses notwithstanding, has contributed his bit to the unfinished task of redeeming Nigeria.

Don't Eat Suya Without Vegetables — Expert Warns Nigerians

A professor of Community and Public Health Nutrition has sounded a note of warning to Nigerians over the consumption of barbecued beef popularly called Suya. 

Consumers of barbecued beef popularly called “Suya” have been advised to always ensure that generous portions of onions, cabbage, tomatoes and other vegetables were eaten along with it.

Suya is generally made with skewered beef, ram, or chicken. Innards such as kidney, liver and tripe are also used.

The thinly sliced meat is marinated in various spices which include peanut cake, salt, vegetable oil and other flavourings, and then barbecued.

Ngozi Nnam, Professor of Community and Public Health Nutrition at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Abuja.

Ms. Nnam said that there was a link between its consumption and increased risk of cancer, noting that consumption of suya garnished with onions and other vegetables has a strong cancer-lowering effect.

“Eating Suya can actually cause cancer. This comes from the reaction of meat and the smoke during Suya preparation which results in a toxic compound that can cause cancer.

“Smoking of the meat is what causes cancer. Some metabolites from food can cause cancer. What is important is to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables to increase antioxidants in the body.

“The antioxidants can neutralise or react with the toxic metabolite from food to prevent cancer,” she said.

According to her, Suya is good to eat with onions and cabbage because they react with the toxic substance produced by smoke to prevent cancer. “It is good to eat Suya with onions and other fruits and vegetables.’’

The nutritionist, however, urged Nigerians to consume more of fish than beef. She said that the major benefit of eating beef was that it provided needed protein for the individual.

“It is however healthier to eat fish than meat because some fish e.g. srumbia fish contain omega 6 fatty acid which is good for the body.

“Omega 6 fatty acid is also very good for infants because it is required for proper brain development.’’

In addition, she warned against the consumption of smoked fish, saying “again the problem with smoked fish is the toxic substance produced by the smoke. “If we can grill it, it will be better than smoking it,’’ she advised.

Ms. Nnam, also the President of Nutrition Society of Nigeria, said that the National Policy on Food and Nutrition has been implemented across the country.

“The National Policy on Food and Nutrition was launched during the Nutrition Week in September 2016 by the Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari.

“After the launch, the policy has been domesticated and being implemented in different states of the federation. The Ministry of Budget and National Planning is overseeing this activity with state nutrition officers,’’ she said.

The policy seeks to improve the nutritional status of all Nigerians, with particular emphasis on the most vulnerable groups including children, women, and the elderly.

7 Signs You’re Not Drinking Enough Water

Staying hydrated is important for maintaining your health. As a matter of fact, the human body is made up of over 70% water; many of us still do not drink a sufficient amount of water daily.

There are few things in the world more refreshing than an ice cold glass of water. Maybe it's the lack of flavor that makes us deny ourselves an essential natural resource, while inadvertently damaging our bodies.

Most of the time we are simply not drinking enough water, however excessive sweating, blood loss, diarrhea, and fever are some conditions that lead to dehydration.

Here are seven signs from your body that let you know when you need more water daily.

1. Dry Skin - This is an early sign of dehydration, which might be a precursor for a severe health issue.

Not drinking enough means little or no sweating; this causes the body to retain toxins and salt normally excreted through the skin.

It also affects the skin's ability to shed dirt and accumulated oil; drink more water to stave off acne breakouts.

2. Dry Mouth - Water lubricates the mucous membranes in the throat and mouth; it keeps your mouth moist long after taking a drink.

3. Headaches - At times this might be a way of the body informing you it needs more water. Since the brain is a top priority in the body, water from the blood is used by the brain. This eventually affects oxygen intake for the brain and leads to a headache.

4. Loss of Muscle Mass - Fitness experts always advise drinking water before, during and after a workout. Muscles are made up mainly of water; this means the less water in the body, the less muscle mass.

5. Digestive Problems - Dehydration causes the strength and amount of mucus in the stomach to reduce, this may lead to the accumulation of stomach acid. This eventually leads to indigestion and heartburn.

6. Fatigue - Feeling disoriented and tired when you are dehydrated are warnings. When fatigue sets in, we just reach out for another energy drink or coffee to get an energy boost.

When really a glass of water is the best choice; coffee and energy drinks will long term lead to further dehydration.

7. Dry Eyes - Your level of hydration affects more than your mouth. Without water in the body, your tear ducts dry up, some blood-shots formed in the eyes are a result of dehydration.

Scissors Pulled From Man's Stomach 18 Years After Surgery

A man has had scissors removed from his abdomen which were left behind during surgery 18 years ago, after reporting a stomachache that was nearly two decades in the making.

54yrs old Ma Van Nhat, a Vietnamese, underwent surgery in 1998 after a car accident and only recently discovered that doctors had left an unwelcome gift behind when they closed him up.

Doctors discovered the 15-centimetre (six-inch) scissors near his colon after a recent ultrasound.

He had a three-hour operation at the weekend to remove the scissors, according to Ngo Trung Thang, deputy head of general affairs at Gang Thep Thai Nguyen hospital, 80 kilometres (50 miles) north of Hanoi.

"He is recovering well," Thang told AFP Tuesday.

Ma Van Nhat had spent nearly two decades "eating, drinking and having a pretty normal life", according to Suc Khoe va Doi Song news site, the official mouthpiece of Vietnam's health ministry.

The ultrasound that discovered the scissors only came about after Nhat reported stomach pains.

Officials said they were searching for the doctors who performed surgery in Bac Kan province in 1998, but have not yet tracked down any culprits.

Nurse Pulls Off Baby’s Hand During Delivery

An auxiliary nurse, identified as Oyekanmi, has been arrested by the police for her role in the death of a baby she took delivery of in the Odogunyan, Ikorodu area of Lagos.

It was learnt that the victim’s mother, Adeola, had been taken to Oyekanmi’s residence last Saturday when she went into labour.

Oyekanmi, while attempting to force the delivery, was said to have pulled off the baby’s hand.

She was said to have advised that the child be taken to the Ikorodu General Hospital, where the dead child was finally delivered.

Doctors at the hospital were reported to have queried the baby’s parents on what truly transpired, and they opened up. The hospital management then alerted the police to the incident.

A source told Punch that Oyekanmi was picked up by the police.

The source said, “What happened was that the auxiliary nurse tried to deliver the woman of the baby, during which there was a complication. But she continued and in the end, the hand of the baby was pulled off while she tried to force the child out from the mother’s womb.

“Afterwards, they quickly packed the woman together and brought her to the general hospital. It had become a critical case by then. The remains of the dead child were brought out, while the matter was reported to the police.”

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident, and said:

“The doctor at the hospital discovered that something was amiss after taking a close look at the dead child and seeing that one hand had been pulled off. All the parties were invited to make statements. It is a case of infanticide; investigations are ongoing.”

Another way to check is to observe raw rice in cold water, if it's floating unusually then it's fake. 

ALERT! Lassa Fever Hits Ogun State, Kills Two

Lassa fever, also known as Lassa hemorrhagic fever (LHF) has hit Abeokuta, Ogun state capital, allegedly killing a nurse and a young man whose  identities were not known as of the time of filing this report.

One Nigeria Blog reliably gathered that two others who were a doctor and a nurse were reportedly being attended to in the intensive care unit of Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta.

According to the findings and information gathered by One Nigeria Blog, the nurse and the young man were working at a morgue in Abeokuta.

When contacted, the Ministry of Health in Ogun state confirmed the incident, saying, the victims would be transferred to one of the isolation centres in the state.

The source at the ministry who did not want his name in print because of his status told a pressman on phone that the commissioner has confirmed the incident and has begun process to transfer the victims to the state-owned isolation centre.

Lassa fever is a type of viral hemorrhagic fever caused by the Lassa virus.

Many of those infected by the virus do not develop symptoms. When symptoms occur they typically include fever, weakness, headaches, vomiting, and muscle pains.

Less commonly there may be bleeding from the mouth or gastrointestinal tract. The risk of death once infected is about one percent and frequently occurs within two weeks of the onset of symptoms.

Among those who survive about a quarter have deafness which improves over time in about half.

The disease is usually initially spread to people via contact with the urine or feces of an infected multimammate rat. Spread can  occur via direct contact between people.

Diagnosis based on symptoms is difficult. Confirmation is by laboratory testing to detect the viruses RNA, antibodies to the virus, or the virus itself in cell culture.

Other conditions that may present similarly include Ebola fever, malaria, typhoid fever, and yellow fever.

NHIS May Collapse Soon -- TUC

There are strong indications that the National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS, is at the verge of collapsing.

This was revealed on Monday by the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC.

The TUC claimed that billions of naira meant for the running of the NHIS had been trapped in the Treasury Single Account, TSA.

In a statement by its President, Mr. Bobboi Bala Kaigama, the TUC urged President Muhammadu Buhari to direct that the funds be returned to the scheme.

The union expressed concern that if the funds were not paid back into the coffers of the NHIS, the scheme would collapse.

The statement reads: “The withdrawal of humongous sums of money in the National Health Insurance Scheme fund and its subsequent lodgement into the TSA has gravely affected the operations and financial capability of the scheme in terms of growing the pooled fund.

“This trend if not reversed urgently will adversely affect the future activities and operations of the Scheme.

“The NHIS is not a revenue generating agency since its funds come from the pool of workers’ contributions.

“It was established by the National Assembly Act CAP.42 LFN 2004 to provide health services to workers at affordable cost, while treating tertiary related diseases, emergency health situations, and eliminating huge out-of-pocket expenses.

“The NHIS was set up to cater for the healthcare of its contributing enrollees whose funds were the breathing life of the scheme and, by extension, provide universal healthcare coverage for all Nigerians.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to categorically state that NHIS by the Act that established it has never been a revenue generating agency for the government.

“The contributions to the NHIS coffers are funds pooled majorly from monthly salaries of dedicated workers, money from international donors and voluntary contributions from private individuals.

“If the Federal Government insists that its wrongly held position on the matter will not change, trade unions may be left with no other option than to seek redress in the law court in order to defend the overall interest of the workers who are the major contributors to the scheme,” the TUC added.
