Mbu was reported to finally appear after previous summons as the Executive Secretary, NHRC, Prof. Bem Angwe told journalists that Mbu honoured the last invitation.

But Mbu said his refusal to

turn up before the commission was not deliberate as the previous invitations sent to him arrived while he was out of the country on vacation.

This has however generated a buzz on the social media.

My passion for pharmacy earned me a trip to Germany -Young Khalid

Young Pharmacist, Khalid Garba Mohammed is our personality this week. He reflects on how his passion and accomplishments in the pharmaceutical career earned him a research trip to Germany recently. The 27 year old Kano Pharmacist told YOUTHVILLE that the influx of drug imports by fake practitioners is alarming and said he is advocating for its riddance and building a better society.

Text by Simon E. Sunday @ SimonEchewofun

W

hat’s the story behind your excellence in Pharmacy?

My story starts from the secondary school life, because I was the head student in my set, so you know you need to study harder and coupled with managing responsibilities.

Then IJMB re-shaped my mind set about science because the lecturers were excellent, I can tell you that my entire background as a scientist, I was groomed during my IJMB programme.

So these experiences made life much easier for me in pharmacy school at University, because I was already used to reading consciously , and I always ensured that I go through my lecture notes same day it was delivered. I report my practical promptly because in pharmacy we do a lot of practical classes.

Then another thing that sharpened my experience and exposed me to the larger society and different public opinions were the posts I held as President of Kano-Jigawa Pharmaceutical Students’ Association (KAJIPSA) in 2010, thereafter I was also elected as President of the Pharmaceutical Association of Nigerian Student (PANS), Ahmadu Bello University Chapter in 2011. These posts allowed me interact with important personalities.

But above all these, I also enjoyed full support from my family, especially my elder brothers; I was the

youngest, so they actually stand by my side always.

What are some of the issues you are addressing as an expert?

Well, as drug expert of course there are a number of issues debilitating the profession, especially with regards to fake and counterfeit drugs as well as open drug market in Nigeria. I mean the situation is seriously disturbing.

Pharmacists are the only experts licensed to import and export drugs, but it is quit unfortunate that in Nigeria even someone who did not attend primary school is into drug business today. This situation is dangerous to the nation because the end users are the citizens and sometimes the harm could be passed unto to other generations.

Could you describe a typical work day being a Masters student?

I am pursuing my M.Sc. currently in Pharmaceutics at A.B.U. so I spend more time in the laboratory conducting research.

When available in office I mostly pay attention on my research thesis writing.

But then I often participate in NGOs activities and we move around local communities to implement programmes that will improve people’s health and improve the quality of life.

What is the defining moment in your career?

I can vividly say that the year 2014 is the most exciting moment in my career as pharmacist and also in my life as a whole.

One may wonder why?

The reason is simple, I have been dreaming to become an academic pharmacist and researcher, and it

became reality early 2014, I was given offer as assistant lecturer with Bayero University, Kano, later in the same 2014 I got married to my lovely wife Hassana, so that’s what made the year 2014 special to me.

What are the challenges facing young Nigerians today?

Honestly I think the main challenge facing Nigerian youth is the syndrome of ‘Think big and start big’.

I have actually seen a lot of Nigerian graduates a waiting a white color job, we need to change this habit, start somewhere and then move ahead.

What projects are you currently working on?

My current project is on my M.Sc., where I am working on starch from a tuber indigenous to Nigeria (Livingstone potato). We want to see how we can modify the starch for use as directly compressible incipient in tablet formulation and I am hoping in the next couple of months I should be able to complete it. I am also planning to proceed with my PhD immediately.

What extra-curricular activity do you engage yourself in?

Well, I enjoyed most of my free time with my family, and I love travelling.

I often watch movies at my free time.

Is there a chance for youth who want to grow their capacities in pharmaceutical advocacy?

Yes. The most important thing in life is to understand who you are, I meant your strengths and weaknesses, and then look out for opportunities and chase them. I recently

Khalid Garba Mohammed attended an International Pharmaceutical Federation Conference in Germany, my experience is that there are opportunities in pharmaceutical and health sector worldwide and in the developed world, young pharmacists are more oriented in being self dependent and groomed as entrepreneur where one can start on his own and build new ideas into healthcare systems.

In Nigerian context, the fact is that we need to think outside the box and stop depending on government, pharmacists should think on industrial practice, think on research and innovations.

Howdid you get sponsorhip to Germany?

It was actually a special travel grant given to selected young pharmacists in Nigeria through the Young Pharmacists Group of Nigeria (YPG-N) and the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN).The grant is basically awarded to young pharmacists based on accomplishments, passion for the profession and future plans. So I

Khalid Garba Mohammed taking an oath applied and I gladly was the only YPG-N member selected from the Northern extraction.

What is your advice for youths, many who are still unemployed?

The truth is that we

can actually think big and start small, then build up gradually. When you graduate get something doing no matter how small it is, it could be better than none, then keep seeking for a better one.

Guys: How to keep your wardrobe organized

he male folk would agree that keeping their closet organized can be very difficult. Also, don’t forget that you need to be ready to make some major changes in your clothing to the way your closet looks. Hence, I have some tips that would help our men whether single or married, to keep their closets/wardrobes tidy and well organized to make it easy for them while dressing: First, empty the entire closet with all clothing, linens to bag and shoes to whatever may be stored up in there, so that you’ll have an empty closet to start organizing.

Then add boxes or large containers if needed to store such stuff like socks, ties or cufflinks. Add a shelf or divide one into smaller section. Better still, get those pull out racks for trousers. Divide your stuff which needs to be placed in the wardrobe and that which doesn’t belong inside at all.

Take out what you haven’t been wearing at all and store up these in the top store shelves but keep one or two cardigans or sweaters out for a cold to rainy season because you may need one as per the climate.

T-shirts should be folded rather than put on hangers as they become droopy if hung for a long time. Divide your daily routine shirts and office shirts away from your dress

shirts to party shirts. Do the same for the blazers and suits.

Keep the ones you use daily on one side while the other occasional wears should be kept on the other side hanging in the same space. Keep a tie drawer and sock drawer separate because it’s easier to find and match up.

Your shoes and footwear for office and formal occasions should be kept on one side and the casual ones on the other side but both need to be stored on lower shelves or bottom spaces.

ugarcane juice is an ideal thirst quenching drinks that keep you cool during the summers.

It is healthier alternatives to colas or fruit juices.

The natural drinks are free from chemicals and offer a plethora of health benefits such as weight loss, improved digestion and glowing skin.

Sugarcane Juice is the raw material from which table sugar is made and it is as well obtained by crushing peeled sugarcane in a machine. However, drinking sugarcane juice is one of the easiest ways to beat dehydration and heat stroke during the summers.

Sugarcane juice loaded with glucose and electrolytes functions as an instant energy booster.

It relieves burning sensation caused by urinary tract infections (UTI) and is one of the best home remedies for cold and flu.

Experts also say consuming sugarcane juice mixed with lime juice, ginger juice and coconut water can cure gonorrhea, cystitis and nephritis.

More of the benefits include combating cancer - Flavones present in sugarcane juice combat production and spread of cancerous cells, particularly prostate and breast cancers.

Glowing Skin - The juice contains flavonoids and phenolic compounds that help the skin to remain healthy, soft and supple while preventing early aging and wrinkles.

Liver Functioning - Sugarcane juice keeps bilirubin levels in check. High level of it results in jaundice. It protects the liver from damage and acts as a palliative to a damaged liver.

HEALTH NEWS>> The dangers of using fake lashes Text by Latifat Opoola @LatifatOpoola

Y

our eye is the window to your world and your eye lashes are part of them.

Beautiful eye lashes are catchy and therefore add to our overall beauty.

Fixing of lashes have become an increasing trend for fashion-conscious ladies because it serves as an alternative to applying mascara for some but ophthalmologists have cited numerous side effects that comes along with wearing them.

While the natural lashes prevent dirt, foreign bodies, bacteria and sweat from

entering the eyes by trapping and keeping any foreign body away from the eyes, these fake lashes on the other hand traps and holds anything that comes around it causing irritations to the eye lids and the eyes.

Speaking to YOUTHVILLE, the Managing Director and consultant ophthalmologist of Florida Eye Clinic, Dr Stephen Ume said the eyes are very delicate and must be handled with care and hence activities around the eyes must be limited.

The Ophthalmologist said “activities like fixing of eye lashes and wearing of contact lenses are very dangerous and should be avoided”. The reason he gave was because of the possibility of something going wrong “like the chemicals they use which may be very toxic around the surface of the eyes”.

He added that wearing of contact lenses for vanity either to make their eyes brown or green is also not advisable because it is one of the most common causes of infections to the eyes.

U

ti Nwachukwu plays the role of Gerald a philandering commitment-shy executive, who is horrified when he is told that his nephew Junior will be left in his custody after his

brother’s death. He worries that this development will mark the end of his social life, subjecting him to a life of PTA meetings and cleaning nose boogers, but there is no choice as the only way out of the arrangement according to the

will is if he himself dies. Under his girlfriend Ella’s (Tonto Dikeh) persistence he reluctantly takes the boy into his home. In trying to bond with the boy, he hires a nanny to help him out who is a recently sacked secretary (Uche Jombo) with a huge secret. Her presence causes his girlfriend to feel resentful.

A plus for Uti in the movie is his looks which he complements with his sharp dressing but he was too hyper and shouted a lot.

The other newbie was more natural (the guy that played his

friend) although his performance wasn’t anything you would write and tell your friends about either.

In Tonto’s case, her acting looked forced with the increased habit of stumbling over her words.

Uche Jombo did not disappoint as she played her role well. Technically the movie was nicely shot. The soundtrack blended easily and the pictures and sound were good. The storyline was good but a little bit predictable. For a newcomer, Uti was okay and Uche Jombo was her usual self. Always on point!!!

he Agro-Allied Community Development Service group of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members serving in Kubwa, Abuja has sensitized a suburb, Dei dei community on the need to use improved farming techniques.

President of the group, Gift Peter said the essence of the event is to bring to the general public easier and more effective way of farming and ensuring that maximum yield is gotten from it.

She said it was no more news that ‘oil is no more primary sector in Nigeria’ noting that there is much more profit in Agriculture only if it will be tried.

“We are here to both sensitize as well as learn from them. Some of these farmers have been in the business for decades, and are authorities in their own fields. The only issue is that they are too comfortable in doing things

the old ways” she said.

Gift said the motivating factor for the event was the result of their research which showed that members of the communities complain about harvests, “so we are trying to tell them one or two things they can do to achieve maximum yield and the various variety of farming they can engage in.”

Coordinator of the group, Mrs Jessica Momoh who noted that the corps members came up with the idea said they have demonstrated that they fully understand the essence and purpose of what NYSC is all about, “serving the community.”

They demonstrated the production and processing of crops like cassava, soybean, fish, and the post-harvest machinery.

The community Chief, Alhaji Abdullahi, who was represented by the Madaki, Alhaji Saidu Hamza appreciated efforts of the youths and prayed that such events are sustained.
