Ophthalmologist advises Nigerians on regular
An Ophthalmologist, Dr Nkiru Akaliwe, has advised Nigerians above 40 years to do regular eye check up to ascertain the true status of their eyes.
Akaliwe, a consultant at the Enugu State University Teaching Hospital , gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday.
She called on Nigerians to maintain a healthy living by eating more vegetables and fruits so as to prevent visual impairment.
According to her, the eye is very important in human body. Blindness can be treated while some cannot.
The consultant, however, explained that many people in the developing countries were losing their sight to cataracts which could be easily treated.
She noted that glaucoma, which was another type of eye disease, gradually caused blindness without the patient knowing.
Akaliwe said that 285 million people globally have eye problems and from the figure, 39 million from developing countries like Nigeria, were blind.
She advised people with eye problems to avoid buying medicated glasses without the prescription of an Ophthalmologists, saying, “it is dangerous to use medicated glasses not recommended by an expert’’.

Some of the 21 Chibok school girls released
The Islamic State-allied faction of Boko Haram which last week freed 21 of more than 200 Chibok girls kidnapped in April 2014 in northeast Nigeria is willing to negotiate the release of 83 more of the girls, the president's spokesman said on Sunday.
Around 220 girls were taken from their school in 2014 in Chibok in northeastern Borno state, where Boko Haram has waged a seven-year insurgency aimed at creating an Islamic state, killing thousands and displacing more than 2 million people.
A faction of the militant group released 21 of the girls on Thursday after the Red Cross and the Swiss government brokered a deal. They were brought from the northeastern city of Maiduguri to the capital Abuja to meet state officials.
" These 21 released girls are supposed to be tale bearers to tell the Nigerian government that this faction of Boko Haram has 83 more Chibok girls ," Garba Shehu, spokesman for President Muhammadu Buhari, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone.
" The faction said it is ready to negotiate if the government is willing to sit down with them," said Shehu, adding that the state is prepared to negotiate with the branch of Boko Haram.
The Islamic State-allied splinter group said the rest of the kidnapped Chibok girls were with the part of Boko Haram under the control of figurehead Abubakar Shekau, according to Shehu.
Boko Haram has apparently split with a big group moving away from Shekau over his failure to adhere to guidance from the Iraq- and Syria- based Islamic State, which in August named Musab al-Barnawi as its new leader for West Africa.
But that appointment was later dismissed in a 10-minute audio clip on social media by a man purporting to be Shekau, exposing divisions within the jihadist group that has plagued Nigeria and neighbours Chad, Niger and Cameroon.
Information Minister Lai Mohammed on Thursday denied reports that the state had swapped captured Boko Haram fighters for their release and said he was not aware if any ransom had been paid. He said a Nigerian army operation against Boko Haram would continue. In recent days, the Nigerian army has been carrying out an offensive in the Sambisa forest, a stronghold of Boko Haram.
The militants controlled a swathe of land around the size of Belgium at the start of 2015, but Nigeria's army has recaptured most of the territory. The group still stages suicide bombings in the northeast, as well as in neighbouring Niger and Cameroon.
Imo State Governor, Rochas OkorochaImo State Governor, Mr Rochas Okorocha, has urged Nigerians to stop criticising President Muhammadu Buhari over the comment he made about his wife, Aisha. Okorocha said the President's controversial response to his wife's BBC interview was taken out of context. In the interview, the First Lady said unless Buhari shakes up his government, she would not support his re-election in 2019. She revealed that her husband does not know a large number of the people he appointed to top positions, noting that a "few people" are behind the presidential appointments. Buhari, however, played down his wife's claims, saying she should stay out of politics. "I don’t know which party my wife belongs to, but she belongs to my kitchen and my living room, and the other room," the President had said. Many, especially women and women’s rights groups have criticised the President for reducing women to cooks and housemaids. Okorocha, who spoke to newsmen in Abuja on Sunday, October 16, said Nigerians need to be cautious in their reactions to the President's statement. He said: "I was there when the president made the comment and both the wife’s interview and the President’s comment were taken out of context. "I can understand why international community speak on this matter. It is because of woman’s rights and all that that is going on right now in the whole world. "I tend to believe that Nigerians will understand the situation better than any other persons in the world. "I do not think that those were the intentions, as being described by all and sundry and those condemning the act. "If there is a clarion call to say ‘Mr President look into your cabinet and bring in more people’, there is nothing wrong for Mr President to take note of the comment by people. "That is not really the situation that should create a big hullabaloo," However, Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, had last Friday trivialised Buhari's statement, saying it a mere joke. "My friends, can't a leader get a sense humour anymore? Mr President laughed before that statement was made," Shehu wrote on Twitter. But in what seems to mean he was not joking about his statement, the President reaffirmed his stance in a later interview he granted Phil Gayle of Deutsche-Welle shortly before he left Berlin, Germany on Saturday. When asked to explain what he meant in his earlier statement about his wife, Buhari said: "I am sure you have a house. You know where your kitchen is, you know where your living room is, and I believe your wife looks after all of that, even if she is working." "That is your wife’s function"? The journalist asked. The President responded: "Yes, to look after me."
