Asthma, Not Curse Or Spiritual Attack, Says Physician

Published

on

Nimet cautions Asthma Patients

A General Physician, Dr Peter Atangwho, says Asthma is not a curse or spiritual attack, but a lung disease that can be effectively controlled with medication and some lifestyle modifications.

Atangwho, also the Chief Executive Officer, TeleMed Online Clinic, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Asaba, in commemoration of the 2021 World Asthma Day.

The World Asthma Day is commemorated every first Tuesday of May to raise awareness on asthma, and how it affects the sufferers, and explore ways to improve the lives of people with asthma.

The theme for 2021 commemoration is “Uncovering Asthma Misconceptions”.

He described Asthma as “a chronic lung disease characterized by recurrent breathing problems, and symptoms such as breathlessness, wheezing, chest tightness and coughing.”

According to him, though, there is no cure for Asthma, it can be effectively controlled with medication and some lifestyle modifications.

The physician, however, decried the myths and misconceptions that Asthma is a curse or spiritual attack.

He said: “Asthma is not a curse; it is not a punishment; it not a condemnation; it is not a death sentence.

“It is not a punishment for evil; it is not a vote of no confidence on your life, and it is not a spiritual attack from your village people.

“We need to raise the awareness to address some of these common widely held misconceptions.”

Atangwho advised asthmatic patients to prioritise their health by carrying their inhalers with them at all times.

The expert also advised them to avoid dust or wearing strong perfumes that could trigger asthma symptoms.

He further advised them to avoid the use of rug carpet and Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen as it might cause severe spasms of the airways.

“If you have asthma, go around with your inhaler, except your symptoms of asthma are well controlled.

“If you are still using inhalers for control, please keep your inhalers handy at all times.

“Carry your inhaler along when going to school, when going to shop, when travelling and wherever you go. You never can tell when an asthmatic attack will come.

“Your life first. Let your inhaler be the first thing you remember to take along before your phone,” the expert said.

During a recent church event, Evangelist Kesiena expressed dismay over the portrayal of Christianity by Pastor Odumeje, whom he referred to as a “Clown.” He highlighted the large following attracted by the preacher and the virality of his videos.

Watch the video below;

Additionally, Evangelist Esiri criticized other pastors for their false teachings, citing instances where one labeled Jacob as a ‘Yahoo boy’ and another claimed that Satan was God’s favorite son.

GWG.ng reports that the remarks of Evangelist Esiri may be popular among some elements of the church in Nigeria many of who draw references from the bible passages that elucidate on how the love of Christ would fall in the last days. Additionally, the assertions of Evangelist Esiri would also resonate with those who draw reference to injunctions in 1 Timothy 4:1 of the multiplicity of false teachers in the last days.

Speaking in a candid interview with maverick singer, Charly Boy, Bobrisky said he didn’t envisage that crossdressing would lead him into becoming a transgender.

He said, “About nine years ago, I was at the University of Lagos studying Accounting. I also had a side hustle, I was selling unisex clothes. Most times I try the female wears on myself and I love the outfits.

“From there, I moved to female hairstyles to makeup and more women were patronising my business. So I decided to keep crossdressing since it was lucrative.

In a leaked voice note conversation with controversial singer Portable, Nollywood actress Eniola Ajao offered a heartfelt apology for the uproar surrounding the ‘Best Dressed Female‘ award given to Bobrisky at the premiere of her movie.

Acknowledging the intentional nature of the act, Ajao admitted that the decision to award Bobrisky was made in a bid to generate buzz and promotion for her movie project.

Expressing remorse and nearly in tears, Ajao revealed the desperation behind her actions, citing an investment of over N200 million in her new film. She emphasized that the lack of support from other quarters led her to take such a controversial step.

“I am so sorry; the deed has been done. It was not a mistake because I am not a child. It was an intentional act; I have spent over N200M on the film. I know everybody is upset, it was because I just wanted people to talk about the movie because I was not getting help anywhere. The help I didn’t get was why I did it. I didn’t know it would escalate to this point,” she expressed.
