How He Used His Education to Save His Community #2
It is never too late for anyone to discover his/herself in life. Discovering this talent of writing makes me feel elated...
Greater percentage of the children of the island use to take this concoction, and he
Discovers that when those children took the concoction, greater percentage of them if not all
Of them who use the drug go into seizures, and when people notice that such child has gone
Into seizure they would stigmatize the child among his peers. His supervisor advises that
He should ensure that he looks for those who have not taken the concoction and those who
Have taken the concoction and ask them questions about what their experiences were. After
This he should then collect the sample of the concoction for analysis in the laboratory to
Know what is the constituents. He obeyed what the supervisor told him and went to his
Village to ask of people who have taken the concoction what their experiences was, and he
Notices that all of them have some forms of seizure after taken the concoction while those
Who do not take the concoction never had seizures. In addition to this, to who had seizures in
The island are always stigmatized, thus, those people are usually stigmatized and some of
Them find it extremely difficult to get spouse in the community because of this some of
Those who have suffered such had to flee the island to another to get married there, because
Those people do not know their pasts. In addition to this, some of those people find it hard to
Get good job within the island, for they would not be employed within the island except
Again they left the island. Due to this he discovers that many of the good brains of the island
Have all left the island for another because of stigmatization that the concoction has brought
On them when they were young. The island grapples with brain drain trying to call their
Sons and daughters home but those people have refused to return home for they cannot return
To where they would neither be valued nor respected other than being stigmatized thus, they
Have all stayed where they were. After getting this, he took the samples of the concoction
To the laboratory for analysis and what he discovers was shocking. It was discovered that the
Concoction contains “quinolones and Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID)”.
This no one knows, before within the island, but they would blame those who develop
Seizure after taken the concoction that they have been attacked by the gods because they are
Bad people and would become bad influences or people in the future. After discovering this,

The pharmacists have told him the implications of the combinations of the drug in the
System saying that when the two active substances are in the human systems it would lead to
Convulsive seizures. Then without the pharmacists knowing what his intentions were, he asks
That has he seen where people use this? Whenever and wherever people use this it will
Always lead to convulsive seizures. He strongly advises that he should tell those in
Possession of the concoction not to be using it for human beings. The pharmacist says he may
Want to demonstrate it and he should give it to rat to see what would happen to those rats
As compared to the rats he does not give those concoctions to. He told him that it is of no
Need that he has seen enough of it. He told his supervisor what he has discovered and his
Supervisor was elated as he submitted his papers for World Health Regulated Bodies. For
This work he was awarded and researchers were sent to their island and public health
Instructors were told of the dangers in taken the concoction in the island. Through this young
Man, liberation comes to the island as the people of the island stop giving their children
Such concoction again. the world health body in acknowledgement of the work of the young
Man has established a world Health Research Institute in the island to acknowledge the work
Of the young researcher. What he earned surpassed the fifty years labor of his father. His
Father would give words of testimony to his friends and people that he thank God that he
Never forced himself and his ways on his son for assuming he has done that the findings and
Discoveries he has made perhaps would not have come at that point in time if it all would
Be discovered. The generations that follow too could not forget him and through him those
Who have been disparaging academics before could not disparage it again as everyone within
The island now desires to send their wards to institutions of higher learning for they have
Now come to realize that through the means they can change the world and also that money cannot buy everything
