Sort of funny, but true, sometimes it's these little things.

I have a question especially for those who go have lived in the west or have mixed with people of other races over time.

Is it just Africans that see epilepsy as a spiritual ailment or there are other people like Chinese , Indians , asians (in general), Arabs , westerners , etc who also believe epilepsy is spiritual?

I remember one of our neighbor’s daughters ; Aunty T while growing up. Aunty T used to drop me and two of her younger siblings way back in primary school. She also picks us from school during closing hours. Aunty T then was already in her 20’s while we were in primary 3 and 4 respectively .

We never knew she had epilepsy until one day she was taking us home and she had seizure on the main road. We were confused as kids that we are, we started crying not knowing what is happening to her . She foamed in her mouth and the elderly people there had to cover her up while the seizure lasted . I guess her younger siblings whom we were together never really saw her that way before too.

After the whole thing she became conscious and she had this sense of shame sha. That was the beginning of a tortuous period , she had those seizures severally afterwards and almost everyone in the neighborhood knew of her condition .

The parents spent a great deal of fortune taking her to medical centers , trado-medical centers , spiritualists and even all these white garment prophets . This Aunty’s life was placed on hold ; she couldn’t proceed to university because of her condition cos things got worse. There were instances she had seizure while cooking and her face burned because she fell unconscious directly over the fire she was cooking from.

At a point the thing caused friction between the parents because the father who studied in Germany for his tertiary education believed it was a medical condition that needs to be managed and the mum thinks it is spiritual ailment that can be cured. You know a woman who cares about all her children thinks it’s not normal for her second born to be stuck with epilepsy while her 3rd , 4th and 5th born are forging ahead with their tertiary education and getting good jobs .

The last I knew of Aunty T, she had a child after several guys ran off witnessing her seizure for the first time.


When I was much more grown and I read about epilepsy , I remember their mum once narrated to my mum how aunty T as a young child was playing outside and somehow got stuck under a car unknown to anyone. The driver of the car entered his vehicle and drove the vehicle for a long distance before people informed him a child was under the vehicle he was driving.

Apparently , the vehicle dragged her on the floor with her head experiencing serious trauma in the process . She was taken to the hospital and all the bruises were treated and she was declared fine . My book mind tells me her epilepsy is linked to the head trauma she had as a young child child in that incident which later manifested in her 20’s ; but the African mentality of enemies shooting “evil arrow “ made it hard to actually conclude if it was spiritual or medical condition.

I read about the discrimination, how they avoid them like plague
I had 2 experiences with epileptic patient
The first one was a boy in the neighborhood, his parents had to abandon cause of shame, I was young then I saw him had the attack he hit his head on hard surface and that was it he died, elderly people were around but no one wanted to touch him
They said it's warapa

The other one happened in my adult life, my colleague at work had the attack but this is a more educated environment what we did was to make sure his head didn't suffer any more trauma by placing it on a pillow
Then we called his parents who came immediately
The boy even travelled to UK the next week to have a break and resume like nothing happened

Gloriousgbola this guy is an hardcore gamer and on pills

In conclusion, religion have really eaten deep into us in this country
Because religion bring up spirituality, spirituality bring up all these monbo jumbo you can proof

GloriousGbola:


what we now know as sickle cell was called abiku in the past. wole soyinka described having a childhood friend with sickle cell and how everyone believed she had friend sin the spirit world who were inviting her to play. that was what they sad whenever she had an episode

as for epilepsy - it has triggers. typically bright flashing patterned lights. this is why video games come with an epilepsy warning. in the abroad, you have to take this into consideration nd ensure there are multiple warnings and also design your lighting so that it will not trigger epileptic fits. in nigeria, you are oyo and have to

More likely than not, that accident was the cause.

.....DR PMS is now available. Let's wait and see how it goes, but I am so hopeful Prosperity is close.

Nigeria sell crude oil to them in Naira, in return they will PMS to Nigerians in Naira. A big relief on fx, like 40% of our fx go to PMS importation.

Prosperity is within the reach, we are so close more than few months ago.

izzou:


Great News.

NNPC is selling Dangote’s petrol at 897/litre

Is this still a big relief?

izzou:
LP no dey campaign for Edo state?

I never see one picture of Akpata at all

Segedinho:

I have a feeling of some sort of sinister agreement bw Dangote and FG/NNPC...


The sudden Jack up of price coincidentally tallied with dangote's delivery date....


Las las...almost exactly the same price with dangote's ....

BlueRayDick:


That was exactly my thought much later in life when I read about it in health section of newspapers and also personal research on the internet.

Parents should be mindful of head injuries to their kids to avoid cases of epilepsy resulting from head trauma

LordAdam16:


The base price for gasoline as of the last hour is $0.52/L. At 1611/$ (yesterday's closing rate), that comes to N838/L.
Put differently, if you want to place an order for cargo at a US refinery for gasoline in the last hour for an October delivery, the base price is N838/L.
That's before any factoring for grades, shipping, loading and port fees, storage and what have you.

Dangote is giving NNPCL ex-factory, "because say na you" price.
No middlemen.
If they don't buy, he'll sell on the open market. Retail rate in Ghana is above N1400. Their downstream players enjoy a generous profit margin.

I heard Ngolo Kante is married to a 48-yr old white woman who has 3 kids from a previous marriage. And the woman has made it known to Kante that she doesn’t want to bear any more kids…

Segedinho:


The base price as accepted by the world isn't the issue here.....

We have been importing even paying landing cost as well as other pms related expenses yet were paying way below the price at fuel stations..


All of a sudden,there are statements about smuggling and incompetency at the border garnished with some debts......

Within 2 days a jack up of pms price wch corresponds roughly with the "almighty dangote" pump price is released..


If you believe Dangote is selling way below market price without some sort of agreement which I termed [sinister understanding] then u can believe anything...

LordAdam16:


What is the price of diesel today at NNPC?
If Dangote was not supplying diesel, it will cost above 1400 per liter in Lagos (higher in other jurisdictions).
A $ is 1610-1640.

Dangote's sales rate to NNPCL is not by itself the reason for the pump price change.
NNPCL used Dangote's intro as an opportunity or smokescreen to raise the rates and cut its per liter subsidy, shortfall, under recovery or whatever they call it.

Dangote has a set rate to sell his gasoline like he has for all his other refined products.
NNPCL can either pay or a foreign off taker will gladly take it off his hands.
NNPCL has been playing games but let's keep our eye on the ball.

I have only come across Epilepsy once. They have full time carers here if they have severe epilepsy so it's a recognised medical condition

Just before covid, I went to a pay-to-play football game where you just turn up, pay and you don't know the other players. I was harassing the left winger regularly for not tracking back, that's when the LB came and told me to go easy on him, that he has epilepsy and if he overdo, he will have a seizure, and he (left-back) is his carer. True true before the match ended, that guy had a seizure on the pitch and the LB recovered him. It looked like something from the exorcist movie.

Which side you mount for the pitch?

izzou:


With NNPCL and Dangote trading crude in naira, will there be increase in the price of PMS, if the naira crashes to the dollar?

Or are we hoping to see 897 as the price for a very long while
