Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum. Et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, Lumen de lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero. Genitum, non factum, consubstantialem Patri: per quem omnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos homines, et propter nostram salutem descendit de caelis. Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine:  Et homo factus est . Crucifixus etiam pro nobis: sub Pontio Pilato passus, et sepultus est. Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas. Et ascendit in caelum: sedet ad dexteram Patris. Et iterum venturus est cum gloria, judicare vivos et mortuos: cuius regni non erit finis. Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum, et vivificantem: qui ex Patre Filioque procedit. Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur, et conglorificatur: qui locutus est per Prophetas.

Patriotism

PATRIOTISM Hmmmmm....., Patriotism, a great topic to reflect on. While thinking of what to write, babe particular event of the previous week kept on ringing in my head and the social media trend that followed it. Yes! It is exactly what you are thinking, the #Iamnotalazyyouth trend. What brought about this?, people said that our president was not being patriotic enough by embarrassing  Nigeria youths in the presence of 58 Commonwealth countries' representatives and almost all media houses in the whole world. Nigerians (including me) took to Twitter, Facebook and even WhatsApp to start a trend and also correct the president.

It is the ideology of attachment to

Cholera, Prevention and Control, second edition

The incubation period is usually from few hours(12) to 5 days usually between 2-3 days for a person to show symptoms after ingesting contaminated food or water. Cholera affects both children and adults(children and elderly are most vulnerable though) and can kill within hours if untreated. Most people infected with the V. cholerae do not develop symptoms, though the bacteria are present in their faces for 1-10 days after infection and are shed back into the environment, potentially infecting other people. Among people who develop symptoms, majority have wild or moderate symptoms while minority develop acute watery diarrhoea with severe dehydration. This can lead to death if left untreated. Mothers should seek prompt medical care. The symptoms include sudden onset of water diarrhoea, up to 1 liter per hour. The diarrhea has a "rice-water" appearance, where the stool looks like water with flecks of rice in it and has a fishy odour usually not associated with abdominal pain and

CHOLERA, PREVENTION AND CONTROL

Nigeria with a population of about 160 million people is presently faced with the issues of internally displaced people, comprising majorly of women, children and the elderly as a result of restiveness and flooding. Presently, there are different camp settlements for these internally displaced persons all over the country and with such come environmental and health challenges. These could result in Malnutrition and many preventable diseases, among which are water borne and water shortage diseases such as CHOLERA. Cholera is an acute intestinal infection, a disease of poverty and closely linked to poor sanitation and lack of clean drinking water, a severe highly infectious diarrhoea disease caused by the bacterium: Vibrio cholerae  . So virulent that a person could be in good health at dawn and be buried at dusk, occurrence is worldwide, and disease burden is characterized as both endemic and epidemics. According to World Health Organizations, researchers have estimated that each year

DIABETES

DIABETES Definition of Diabetes Mellitus:- This is a disease in which the body's ability to produce or respond to the hormone 'insulin' is impaired, resulting in abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates and elevated glucose in the blood. It is due to either the pancreas is not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced. There are three main types of Diabetes Mellitus * Type I DM : Results from the pancreas failure to produce enough insulin or 'Juvenile Diabetes'. The cause is unknown * Type II DM: Begins with insulin resistance,a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulin properly. As the disease progresses, the lack of insulin may also develop. This form was previously referred to as "none insulin dependent Diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or an adult-onset diabetes". The most common cause is excessive body weight and lack of exercise. * Gestational Diabetes:  It is the third main form and
