gragraboy:
Make dem jazz me if them no see light?....no thanks!

Hahahahahaha...with ur gra gra @ name

Trinity213:
That was my initial thought but while Osadebe (igbo) and Osadebamwen (edo) have the same meaning (God is with me). Etiosa(yoruba) and Etinosa (edo) are not even closely related in meaning so i beg to disagree with you.

What's missing there, 'N'? It's probably a spelling mix up...Is there any osa in yoruba language? If Etiosa is Yoruba, what does it mean?

gawab:
The correct spelling of the name in Benin is Etinosa not Etiosa.

Yea, that's the correct spelling, but still didn't change the fact that it was coined from bini because of their historical relation.

Also, the igbos, they say, originated from Edo.The will fight and argue with you if u tell them..lol That's why have names like Osadebe etc

I think it's a bini name. cos historically, the yorubas originated from Edo..
Few weeks ago, our training(Edo) manager was sharing with us, a brief history of Edo/yoruba origin. He said Akpogbon I.e the bus-stop before CMS is a Bini name.

Drug abuse or misuse simply
refers to the consumption of illegal drugs or the
inappropriate use of legal or prescription drugs.
Obviously, it then follows that both prescription
drugs (to be prescribed by the doctor) and
nonprescription drugs (can be procured over the
counter) may be abused or misused. Misuse of
prescription drugs can be in the form of taking
overdose or underdose of the prescribed
medications both of which may have dire
consequences. Arguably, drug abuse is fraught
with several potential adverse effects. In this
article, I intend to focus on some of the
prescription drugs commonly abused by
Nigerians and their potential adverse effects

1. Paracetamol
This drug is definitely a household name. It
comes in different popular brand names such as
panadol, boska and M&B. Due to its analgesic,
antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties,
paracetamol is widely used - and frequently
abused - for the treatment of fever, headache as
well as mild to moderate body aches. Although it
is relatively safe especially when compared with
most other pain killers, it is not without adverse
effects mostly when consumed in excess.
Evidently, the most dreaded adverse effect is
hepatotoxicity (liver damage) and this may occur
after the maximum recommended dose of 4g (8
tablets) is exceeded per day. The incidence of
hepatotoxicity is even much higher among
alcoholics. Some other adverse effects include
nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and rashes. In
view of these, patients are usually advised to
consult the doctor if symptoms persist despite
taking paracetamol.

2. Aspirin
This is another widely abused drug in Nigeria.
Popular brands include Alabukun and Phensic.
Aspirin belongs to the group of drugs called
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
which are often employed in the treatment of
severe headaches (such as migraine),
dysmenorrhoea (menstrual pain), rheumatoid
arthritis, osteoarthritis and many other causes of
pain. Other NSAIDs include ibuprofen,
diclofenac, piroxicam (feldene), indometacin and
so on. They act by inhibiting cyclooxygenase
(COX) enzyme which is involved in the
production of prostaglandins that normally
protect the epithelial lining of the stomach from
acid secretion. Hence, the most common
adverse effect of aspirin and other NSAIDs is
peptic ulceration which is the reason why they
should be avoided or used with caution by
individuals with previous or active peptic ulcer
disease. Furthermore, aspirin is contraindicated
in children less than 16 years as it can lead to
Reye syndrome in them (characterized by liver
damage and encephalopathy).

3. Codeine
Codeine is an opioid analgesic also used in the
management of pain and diarrhoea. Like other
opioids, it is widely abused because of its
potential to produce euphoria (high mood) when
consumed in large quantities. Hence, codeine
abs consume large quantities of codeine-
containing cough syrups which ultimately leads
to adverse effects like dependence, tolerance,
sedation and euphoria. Other adverse effects
may include constipation following prolonged
use, dizziness, vomiting, headaches and dry
mouth just to mention a few. Some other opioid
analgesics which are also sometimes abused
include morphine, pentazocine (fortwin),
tramadol and pethidine. Also, they tend to cause
respiratory depression in large doses.

Na wah o. Whitlow dey whitlow o. It may be best you go to a hospital for a possible incision and drainage of the pus o. Meaning, they will make a small cut around the finger and drain the pus inside.
Whitlow always seems to have a life of its own and its as if it breathes and the persistent throbbing pain that comes with it no get part two o. You may not get relief until that pus is out but once it is, you will have the best sleep of your life. Talking from experience.

Withlow doesn't like heat,boil water and add salt to it,then dip ur hand into it. Do it morning and night,u will be fine. Also take antibiotics.Best of luck

Thanks for ur response..Did u mean I shud open the blister/boil and place it inside hot, salt water?

Experience, they say is, the best test of truth and falsity. If you haven't experienced whitlow u wudnt know how excruciating the pain can be.

It started with a slight pain and blister close to my index finger nail few days ago. I didn't need anybody to tell me it was symptom of whitlow. Immediately, I went to see a pharmacist. He gave me some drugs (dontyhocin,Ebu400,blood caps) Now, I'm through with the drugs, but symptom still persists. I tried some home remedies( as recommended by friends) like steaming the affected part with hot water and inserting my finger inside lime and hot water. still, no solution. I didn't sleep well last night because of the pains

If you ever experienced this pls share with me on how u dealt with it...Doctors in this section, pls I need ur advise.
