A lecturer at the Federal University of Agriculture(FUNAAB) Abeokuta, Prof. Samuel Adeniran Oluwalana, has revealed the formula for reviving or bringing back to life someone that had died .
Prof. Oluwalana said that an extract from the leaves of “Akoko” (yoruba) plant is the secret recipe to restore someone’s life after he/she had died.
The remedy must be applied to the dead without delay
To accomplish the feat, he recommended that a decoction extract from Akoko leaves plant (Newbouldia laevis) be placed in the mouth of anyone that died suddenly, especially children, submitting that the remedy will bring the person back to life.
The Professor of Forest Resources Management who made this known while speaking on the topic with the theme: “Unearthing The Treasures In The Forest,” also gave insight into how to expel stubborn placenta from the womb after childbirth and tackle other complicated childbirth.
He said that a careful application of palm oil and vulture feather would solve the problem.
“Placenta expulsion after childbirth: Put a feather of Vulture …in West African palm oil, drop the oil in the woman’s mouth using the vulture feather, the placenta will come out immediately,” he said.
According to him, “To turn a baby coming with legs during birth, touch the baby’s leg with Blighiasapida K.D Koenigseed, the baby will withdraw the leg immediately and turn in the womb.”
He spoke on Thursday during the 47th Annual General Meeting of the Abeokuta Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (ABEOCCIMA), Abeokuta, where he cited cases from indigenous knowledge, some of the uses of forest and animal resources for health, commerce and wealth creation.
He wondered why Nigeria that is enormously blessed with vast forest resources should be grappling with apocalyptic poverty and health challenges, citing cancer, diabetes, bile, hypertension, ovarian cyst, STDs, blocked fallopian tube, infertility, fibroids among health conditions that could be addressed using plants and animal resources from the nation’s enormous forest belts.
He wondered why in this age, the government in Ogun State could condone the felling of trees around the government’s properties in Isale Egbein area of Abeokuta, the state capital, which led to the eviction of bats in thousands from their habitation (colony), saying in saner and more understanding climes, the place could have been turned to a gold mine because of its richness in forest resources.
The don therefore made case for paying of attention to Indigenous Knowledge as a window for people to explore the wellspring of knowledge and experience that are relevant to people, describing indigenous knowledge as a gold mine, a veritable source of age – old methods of understanding the uses of nature as medicine and wealth.
Fielding questions from participants, he specifically advised individuals, government and institutions to go into insects farming – including cockroaches, grasshopper, crickets, maggots and butterfly), to create jobs, income and raw materials needed in healthcare and medicine.
