Due to the acute shortage of anti-venom vaccine in the country, over 4,000 snakebite victims at the Snakebite Centre, Kaltungo Medical Centre, Gombe State have resorted to buying the vaccine on their own from drug peddlers. |
Ninety-one victims of snakebite had died in the last three weeks in Plateau and Gombe states, with several others in critical condition in hospitals. |
Their conditions had gone critical as doctors were unable to treat them due to the non-availability of the two main anti-venom drugs — Echitab Plus ICP Polyvalent and Echitab G Monovalent, made in Costa Rica and the United Kingdom respectively. |
Meanwhile, as the scarcity of the anti-venom drugs bites harder, findings by our correspondent, who visited the snakebite centre in Kaltungo, showed that over 4,000 patients at the centre had had to purchase a vial of the anti-venom drug for N37, 500. |
Our correspondent sighted hospital records that proved the figure to be true. This means that the patients had collectively spent at least N150m on drugs that were supposed to be free. |
Head of the snakebite centre, Dr. Abubakar Ballah, said over 89 people had died at the centre since January, adding that out of the figure, 25 deaths were recorded in October alone. |
“Unfortunately, there was no federal or state government backup which could reduce this scarcity. Due to this, we recorded about 25 deaths in October alone. Since January till date, we have recorded 89 deaths,” he said. |
Disclosing that the last free vials, which were 150, received from the Federal Government on January 3, 2017, were exhausted on February 18, 2017, Ballah said since then, more than 4,000 patients who came to the centre had resorted to self-help by purchasing the anti-venom drug on the streets, which were then used by m... |
Saturday PUNCH also learnt from Ballah that some of the snakebite victims at the centre were from the neighbouring countries of the Central African Republic and Cameroon. |
However, due to the high cost of the drug, our correspondent found out that some patients who were unable to afford the drug had started deserting the centre, with Ballah blaming the situation on poor planning by the Federal Government. |
In a desperate move, he hinted that 50 vials of the anti-venom drugs had been procured from Burkina Faso to help alleviate the victims’ suffering. |
Thirteen-year-old Aliyu Musa is one of the few lucky survivors at the facility, having stayed 20 days before his relatives could procure the anti-venom drug. |
A Gombe State indigene, Musa shared how he had endured in anguish, writhing on the hospital floor, and having headache intermittently at the centre, until help finally came his way. |
“I thought I was going to die. My head hurt a lot. I am still feeling the pain, but it has subsided,” he told our correspondent in Hausa. |
Another patient at the centre, Jauro Yahya, 35, from Bauchi State, laid on the sick bed, his left limb still motionless. |
His skin suffers from necrosis caused by the venom from snakebite while working on his farm over a month ago. |
“I was brought to this centre while in a coma,” he said. |
For the Adamawa State indigene, Esther Sarki, attending to her 63-year-old father, Maina, has not been easy. His predicament has thrown the family into “huge” debt. |
She said they had spent seven days at the health centre before they were able to procure two vials of the anti-venom drug at the cost of N70, 500. |
“We sold our goats to procure the drug. We are not financially buoyant, but we give God the glory that despite everything, our father is now getting well,” she lamented. |
As for Nasir Umaru, a 20-year-old from Kwaya, Bayo Local Government Area of Borno State, his father, Iliya, had thought he was going to die due to the lack of anti-venom drugs. |
Illiya said, “I had heard about the lack of anti-venom drug, so I didn’t mind whether I’d pay or not. I had to bring him all the way from Borno. Already, I have bought a vial of the anti-venom drug for N37, 500. |
One of the medical attendants at the Kaltungo Snakebite Centre, simply identified as Yunana, said about 20 cases were being recorded daily at the facility. |
“Some arrive here with complications, such as anaemia and swelling. When they come like that, we give them blood transfusion and place them on antibiotics to stabilise them,” she said of the measure being adopted at the health facility to cope with the scarcity of the anti-venom drugs. |
Another health worker, identified as Sardatu, said the anti-venom drugs’ scarcity had taken its toll on the patients. She pleaded with the government to prioritise making the drugs available. |
“Provision of snakebite anti-venom drugs has to be captured in the budget. If anything, it should be the first in the budget,” she said. |
He said, “Despite the non-availability of the drugs, we don’t turn patients back; they return on their own when we inform them there are no free drugs and that they have to purchase the drugs on their own. |
There’s, however, hope for snakebite victims as our correspondent gathered that the Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Health, had contacted officials of the Gombe State Ministry of Health to come for a consignment of the anti-venom drugs. |
A senior official in the state Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, who disclosed this on condition of anonymity, added that the ministry had received a cheque for the procurement of more anti-venom vaccines. |
When contacted to confirm the development, the state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Kennedy Ishaya, did not respond to calls and text messages sent to him. |
A ministry official said the commissioner was unreachable because of his participation at the national council of health meeting in Abeokuta, Ogun State. |
Meanwhile, Abubakar Aliyu, who is the owner of the Abuja-based Aliyu Mega Pharmacy, the sole licensed importer of the Echitab + ICP Polyvalent and Echitab G Monovalent for the North-East, said a consignment of the anti-venom drugs was expected in the country on Friday. |
Out of the supply, he disclosed that 1000 vials were meant for the North East. |
He explained that the number of snakebite victims were increasing in the North-East, which was responsible for the scarcity of the drugs in the first place. |
“The number of snakebite victims greatly increased in 2017. In 2015, we sold around 3000 vials. In 2016, we sold around 4,000. The number has increased in 2017. We stocked 700 vials in August and within 40 days, the supply was exhausted,” he said. |
Thanks for your exposure of the ISO. I thought you might appreciate the following anecdote. |
My mother bought me a subscription to the Nation magazine following the 2000 election theft. By 2004, I was completely fed up with their unshakable support for the Democratic party, no matter how right-wing its candidates were. I was in college at the time and had also become infatuated with Marxism (my professors lite... |
I soon stopped reading the ISO web site, before I had discovered and appraised their support for the Green party or state capitalist heritage, for the simple fact that it could never seem to provide what wsws.org always did: genuine Marxism. It was abundantly clear to me that the WSWS had a scientific, historical mater... |
I thought you would appreciate the link between the Nation and the ISO. It reminded me of what you said in a reply to a reader that there is a division of labor among the middle class political milieu, the unions and the democrats. Lenin says that we march hand in hand on a dangerous road, with the swamp of petit bourg... |
Good set of articles on the ISO. |
“Today, however, I would like to deal, not primarily with the Pabloites, but with the state capitalist tendencies, which claim, utterly falsely, that the collapse of the Soviet Union somehow vindicates their theories. And in particular, I will examine the role of Tony Cliff, the British ex-Trotskyist who left the Fourt... |
But he never really comes back to the question to clarify what exactly “centrist” denotes. |
The ISO is trying to establish a chapter here and I had started going over their two new members’ pamphlets, as well as their longer introductory book, “The Meaning of Marxism” by Paul D’Amato, when your set of articles appeared. |
The packets are certainly eclectic, with multiple references to Lenin’s theory of party building and democratic centralism in an article right next to a completely demoralized article, “What Kind of Party Do We Need?” by Ahmed Shawki (pg 23-26 of “New Member Study packet”), typical centrist fare. |
2) The other main point which hasn’t been addressed as extensively is, who are their international co-thinkers and what is their approach to international questions. |
The only group I could find they worked with was the Socialist Workers Party in the UK, a pretty damning indictment for a group who has been around since the late 1970s. |
We covered and exposed their support of the “Green” revolution in Iran, with their left window dressing for American imperialism. Talking about that episode more extensively would be educational and reveal both their methods and outlook. |
VMware co-founder Diane Greene will oversee all of Google's cloud businesses, including its Cloud Platform and Apps productivity suite, the company announced Thursday. |
Greene, who has been on the company's board of directors for three years, took the position as the technology giant agreed to acquire Bebop, a stealthy startup that she co-founded. In a blog post announcing the news, Google CEO Sundar Pichai called the company's product "a new development platform that makes it easy to... |
It's not clear what exactly that means, but Pichai went on to say that he expects the deal to let more businesses reap the benefits of cloud computing. In addition to Greene, the rest of the team from Bebop is also slated to join Google as part of the acquisition. |
Greene served as VMware's CEO from 1998 until she was fired by the company's board of directors in 2008. She also serves on Intuit's board of directors, which she joined in 2006. |
Thursday's news comes as Google is trying to cement its credibility as an enterprise service provider. The company's cloud platform remains less popular among companies than Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. Google argues that its expertise as an Internet company makes it a logical choice for enterprises looking... |
Google is also trying to woo larger businesses away from their software contracts with Microsoft by offering to give organizations access to the Google Apps productivity suite for free for the length of their enterprise agreement with the company's competitor to the north. |
On Wednesday, Google's infrastructure chief, Urs Hölzle, said he expects the company's cloud platform revenue to eclipse its ad revenue within five years. Greene's leadership could help the company fulfill those ambitions. |
Rap hip-hop artist Lonnie Rashied Lynn, also known as Common, will play the Fox Theatre in Oakland on Sunday. |
The man originally known as Common Sense is one of the most powerful artists going in hip hop today and he is coming to the Bay Area to spread his lyrical goodness. |
The Chicago native and the son of minister will bring his conscious, self reflective hip hop to the Fox Theatre in Oakland on Sunday at 8 p.m. |
Common was a highly influential figure in rap's underground during the 90s, keeping the sophisticated lyrical technique and flowing syncopations of jazz-rap alive in an era when commercial gangsta rap was threatening to obliterate everything in its path. |
His literate, intelligent, nimbly performed rhymes and political consciousness certainly didn't fit the fashions of the moment, but he was able to win a devoted cult audience. His song "Retrospect for Life," with Lauryn Hill, won him critical acclaim for the autobiographical lyrics discussing his decision to abort his ... |

If you're familiar with architect Richard Rogers, it's likely through buildings like the Pompidou Center and the London Shard, where the guts of the structure—from elevators to plumbing—are put on display. But did you know Rogers is also pioneering a new generation of flatpack prefab housing? |
The panels have the advantage of being lightweight, very fire and water retardant, and even earthquake and hurricane proof. A patented jointing system ensures high levels of both acoustic and thermal insulation and the system offers the potential to reduce energy bills by up to 90%, thereby helping to alleviate fuel po... |
Depending on how much you read into the lyrics on Lemonade, “Becky With the Good Hair” was either a fictional character created for the song “Sorry,” or a real-life woman with whom Jay Z cheated on Beyoncé. Either way, fans and the media spent weeks speculating about her identity, at one point naming both designer Rach... |
People loved Rio’s cartoon Olympic mascot—until a real jaguar was subbed in and then killed after exhibiting threatening behavior during a torch-relay event. The incident fueled a debate over the ethics of keeping animals in captivity. |
The reveal of the author’s putative “real” identity as Anita Raja—which happened a month before the release of a major collection of her writing—raised urgent questions about authorship and privacy rights of the famous. |
The popularity of Branden Miller’s drag alter ego—who garnered legions of fans and a fair share of controversy by bragging on Twitter and Instagram about faux exploits such as “robbery” and “fraud”—showed the power of the Internet to elevate niche comedy, especially from nonwhite and queer creators. |
As she charged toward Westeros, the oppressed but resilient star of Game of Thrones (played by Emilia Clarke) felt like a heroine worth rooting for—and her revolutionary style of destroying the patriarchy drew comparisons to a real-life would-be ruler: Hillary Clinton. |
The hit mobile game Pokémon Go used augmented reality to fill city streets and suburban cul-de-sacs with these virtual monsters (including Pikachu), which players could “catch” for perks. Although detractors called the game dangerous and distracting, it became a global phenomenon. |
Margot Robbie’s twisted ringleader helped bring Suicide Squad $325 million at the box office—and her vexed coupling with the Joker (Jared Leto) catalyzed a debate over abuse and trauma in relationships. Also influential was her look, as Harley Quinn was the year’s top Halloween costume. |
The surprise star of Netflix’s Stranger Things (played by Shannon Purser) was a dowdy dork in her brief onscreen life, but after a supernatural demise became a symbol for misfits everywhere, inspiring countless memes and hashtags like #WeAreBarb. |
Ryan Reynolds’ obscene superhero brought flair, irony and rudeness to the corny, earnest world of comic-book movies, breathing new life into a tired genre. Audiences were clearly ready: Deadpool helped Deadpool become the highest-grossing R-rated film ever worldwide. |
The 57-year-old doll, long identified by her impossibly lithe physique, reinvented herself in 2016, when Mattel introduced several new body types (including curvy and petite) in an effort to boost sales—and to set a more inclusive beauty standard for Barbie’s millions of young female fans. The shift helped boost global... |
"They worked hard and they came up with a proper verdict," Deputy District Attorney Jeff Ritschard said of the jury's findings. |
Assistant Public Defender Mickey Sampson disagreed. Sampson's defense confirmed that Perry had assaulted the child, but the lawyer argued his client did not intend to kill the boy and that he did not realize the probable consequence of the physical beatings would be death. |
"I think it's a mistake and unfortunate," Sampson said of the verdict. "I don't think he exhibited a willful and conscious disregard for human life as required (for a murder conviction), and I think there was a serious causation issue for count two." |
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Lloyd G. Connelly scheduled Perry's sentencing for April 25. Perry faces a term of at least 26 years to life. |
Perry had recently moved in with Jahmaurae's mother, Tiffany Lacy, before the fatal assault. The night it took place, she was at the hospital with the younger brother over injuries authorities also attributed to Perry. |
Lacy, who testified for the prosecution, earlier pleaded no contest to charges of child endangerment by leaving her son with Perry. She is to be sentenced Friday. |
According to Perry's own statement in the interview with Sacramento County sheriff's detectives, he said he had twice thrown the 3-foot-7, 42-pound boy into a wall, cracking Jahmaurae's skull and causing his fatal injuries. The slams bracketed a round-house punch to the boy's midsection that caused even more massive in... |
Perry told detectives he got mad at Jahmaurae because the boy had wet his pants and refused to go to bed. |
"I feel that justice has been served for Jahmaurae," said Detective Brian Shortz, the lead investigator on the case who was in the courtroom Tuesday for the verdict. |
Shortz said the boy died "at the hands of somebody reacting violently over a mundane, day-to-day child-raising issue." |
