OH sorry for the late response,
Wasn't getting Any response from nairalanders, as a result, haven't checked the thread for a little while, the price is 250k sir.

It would really be interesting to see more nairalanders participate by expressing interest , with that, this thread would jack back to life.

Hello,

Is it 250 per plot ? Or. If interested what next

mrsage:
Hello,

I'm involved in transport business and I will love to share this business concept with you guys due to the number of enquiries I receive about transport business.

There is this business model that will work perfectly for you if you wish to invest in Intra state Bus Transport.

TARGET MARKET

strictly working class people who shuttle from home to the office and back.

BUSINESS MODEL

Take people to work in the morning and bring them back at close of work.

A bus 18 passenger with consistent customer from iyana-ipaja to CMS and fare is 500 (to and fro)

Thats : 500×16= 8000 (per day)

We have 5 working days

8000x5= 40000 (per week)

Then we go ahead and multiply by 4 weeks

4000x4= 160,000 (per month)

Imagine what you'd be earning per year and you're not working full time, just one trip in the morning and another in the evening.

Remember this is minus the owambe functions where your bus get hired on weekends which you can make a remarkable amount like 15k-35k depending on the distance and bargaining skill.

Budget 20k monthly for maintenance, even if you do...you can't spend such the following month as you're not working your bus to death.

Note :

Iyana paja to Cms is just an example. There are several routes to choose from. Figures vary as well.

The bus will last long as wear and tear is reduced. Result. Steady income over a long period of time.

There are several ways to check mate your driver. I will teach you.

Take advantage of this and you will be glad you did.

Feel free to ask questions or leave a comment.

This is a great transport business idea, I'm interested in giving this a go, can you put me thru pls. Thanks

mail me details. remioshy@yahoo.com

madepearl:
Events /party will always take place,and every1 is always looking for a venue,one that is spacious and accesible.the whole of d area where i stay there is no event center that has those features.anybody that can invest in owing an event center which will always generate steady large income should send a mail to estherekegbo@gmail.com

Event centre is good and it's something I'm interested in, but one need a proper space possibly major road. Which area do u stay and what is your interest in this

Pls send details of all ur inverters snd what each Carry to help me choose. For house use. remioshy@yahoo.com

Healthy Cooking Oils – The Ultimate Guide

By Kris Gunnars, BSc | May, 2013 | 846,296 views
You have many options when it comes to selecting fats and oils for cooking.

But it’s not just a matter of choosing oils that are healthy, but also whether they stay healthy after having been cooked with.

The Stability of Cooking Oils

When you’re cooking at a high heat, you want to use oils that are stable and don’t oxidize or go rancid easily.

When oils undergo oxidation, they react with oxygen to form free radicals and harmful compounds that you definitely don’t want to be consuming.

The most important factor in determining an oil’s resistance to oxidation and rancidification, both at high and low heat, is the relative degree of saturation of the fatty acids in it.

Saturated fats have only single bonds in the fatty acid molecules, monounsaturated fats have one double bond and polyunsaturated fats have two or more.

It is these double bonds that are chemically reactive and sensitive to heat.

Saturated fats and monounsaturated fats are pretty resistant to heating, but oils that are high in polyunsaturated fats should be avoided for cooking (1).

Alright, now let’s discuss each type of cooking fat specifically.

The Winner: Coconut Oil



When it comes to high heat cooking, coconut oil is your best choice.

Over 90% of the fatty acids in it are saturated, which makes it very resistant to heat.

This oil is semi-solid at room temperature and it can last for months and years without going rancid.

Coconut oil also has powerful health benefits. It is particularly rich in a fatty acid called Lauric Acid, which can improve cholesterol and help kill bacteria and other pathogens (2, 3, 4).

The fats in coconut oil can also boost metabolism slightly and increase feelings of fullness compared to other fats. It is the only cooking oil that made it to my list of superfoods (5, 6, 7).

Fatty Acid Breakdown:

Saturated: 92%.
Monounsaturated: 6%.
Polyunsaturated: 1.6%.


Make sure to choose virgin coconut oil. It’s organic, it tastes good and it has powerful health benefits.

The saturated fats used to be considered unhealthy, but new studies prove that they are totally harmless. Saturated fats are a safe source of energy for humans (8, 9, 10).

Butter



Butter was also demonized in the past due to its saturated fat content.

But there really is no reason to fear real butter. It’s the processed margarine that is the truly awful stuff (11).

Real butter is good for you and actually fairly nutritious.

It contains Vitamins A, E and K2. It is also rich in the fatty acids Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) and Butyrate, both of which have powerful health benefits.

CLA may lower body fat percentage in humans and butyrate can fight inflammation, improve gut health and has been shown to make rats completely resistant to becoming obese (12, 13, 14, 15, 16).

Fatty Acid Breakdown:

Saturated: 68%.
Monounsaturated: 28%.
Polyunsaturated: 4%.
There is one caveat for cooking with butter. Regular butter does contain tiny amounts of sugars and proteins and for this reason it tends to get burned during high heat cooking like frying.

If you want to avoid that, you can make clarified butter, or ghee. That way, you remove the lactose and proteins, leaving you with pure butterfat.

Here’s a great tutorial on how to clarify your own butter.

Make sure to choose butter from grass-fed cows. This butter contains more Vitamin K2, CLA and other nutrients, compared to butter from grain-fed cows.

Olive Oil



Olive oil is well known for its heart healthy effects and is believed to be a key reason for the health benefits of the mediterranean diet.

Some studies show that olive oil can improve biomarkers of health.

It can raise HDL (the good) cholesterol and lower the amount of oxidized LDL cholesterol circulating in your bloodstream (17, 18).

Fatty Acid Breakdown:

Saturated: 14%.
Monounsaturated: 75%.
Polyunsaturated: 11%.
Studies on olive oil show that despite having fatty acids with double bonds, you can still use it for cooking as it is fairly resistant to the heat (19).

Make sure to choose quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It has much more nutrients and antioxidants than the refined type. Plus it tastes much better.

Keep your olive oil in a cool, dry, dark place, to prevent it from going rancid.

Animal Fats – Lard, Tallow, Bacon Drippings



The fatty acid content of animals tends to vary depending on what the animals eat.

If they eat a lot of grains, the fats will contain quite a bit of polyunsaturated fats.

If the animals are pastured raised or grass-fed, there will be more saturated and monounsaturated fats in them.

Therefore, animal fats from animals that are naturally raised are excellent options for cooking.

You can buy ready-made lard or tallow from the store, or you can save the drippings from meat to use at a later time. Bacon drippings are especially tasty.



Palm Oil



Palm oil is derived from the fruit of oil palms.

It consists mostly of saturated and monounsaturated fats, with small amounts of polyunsaturates.

This makes palm oil a good choice for cooking.

Red Palm Oil (the unrefined variety) is best. It is also rich in Vitamins E, Coenzyme Q10 and other nutrients.

However, some concerns have been raised about the sustainability of harvesting palm oil, apparently growing these trees means less environment available for Orangutans, which are an endangered species.

Avocado Oil



The composition of avocado oil is similar to olive oil. It is primarily monounsaturated, with some saturated and polyunsaturated mixed in.

It can be used for many of the same purposes as olive oil. You can cook with it, or use it cold.

Fish Oil

Fish oil is very rich in the animal form of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are DHA and EPA. A tablespoon of fish oil can satisfy your daily need for these very important fatty acids.



The best fish oil is cod fish liver oil, because it is also rich in Vitamin D3, which a large part of the world is deficient in.

However, due to its high concentration of polyunsaturated fats, fish oil should never be used for cooking. It’s best used as a supplement, one tablespoon per day. Keep in a cool, dry and dark place.

Flax Oil



Flax oil contains lots of the plant form of Omega-3, Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA).

Many people use this oil to supplement with Omega-3 fats.

However, unless you’re vegan, then I do recommend that you use fish oil instead.

Evidence shows that the human body doesn’t efficiently convert ALA to the active forms, EPA and DHA, of which fish oil has plenty (20).

Due to the large amount of polyunsaturated fats, flax seed oil should NOT be used for cooking.

Canola Oil



Canola oil is derived from rapeseeds, but the euric acid (a toxic, bitter substance) has been removed from it.

The fatty acid breakdown of canola oil is actually fairly good, with most of the fatty acids monounsaturated, then containing Omega-6 and Omega-3 in a 2:1 ratio, which is perfect.

However, canola oil needs to go through very harsh processing methods before it is turned into the final product.

Check out this video to see how canola oil is made. It is very disgusting and involves the toxic solvent hexane (among others) – I personally don’t think these oils are suitable for human consumption.

Nut Oils and Peanut Oil



There are many nut oils available and some of them taste awesome.

However, they are very rich in polyunsaturated fats, which make them a poor choice for cooking.

They can be used as parts of recipes, but do not fry or do any high heat cooking with them.

The same applies to peanut oil. Peanuts technically aren’t nuts (they’re legumes) but the composition of the oil is similar.

There is one exception, however, and that is macadamia nut oil, which is mostly monounsaturated (like olive oil). It is pricey, but I hear it tastes awesome.

If you want, you can use macadamia oil for low- or medium-heat cooking.



Seed- and Vegetable Oils



Industrial seed and vegetable oils are highly processed, refined products that are way too rich in Omega-6 fatty acids.

Not only should you not cook with them, you should probably avoid them altogether.

These oils have been wrongly considered “heart-healthy” by the media and many nutrition professionals in the past few decades.

However, new data links these oils with many serious diseases, including heart disease and cancer (21, 22, 23).

Avoid all of them:

Soybean Oil
Corn Oil
Cottonseed Oil
Canola Oil
Rapeseed Oil
Sunflower Oil
Sesame Oil
Grapeseed Oil
Safflower Oil
Rice Bran Oil
One study also looked at common vegetable oils on food shelves in the U.S. market and discovered that they contain between 0.56 to 4.2% trans fats, which are highly toxic (24).

It’s important to read labels. If you find any of these oils on a packaged food that you are about to eat, then it’s best to purchase something else.

How to Take Care of Your Cooking Oils

To make sure that your fats and oils don’t go rancid, it is important to keep a few things in mind.

Don’t buy large batches at a time. Buy smaller ones, that way you will most likely use them before they get the chance to damage.

When it comes to unsaturated fats like olive, palm, avocado oil and some others, it is important to keep them in an environment where they are less likely to oxidize and go rancid.

The main drivers behind oxidative damage of cooking oils are heat, oxygen and light.

Therefore, keep them in a cool, dry, dark place and make sure to screw the lid on as soon as you’re done using them.

Hello,

Where is the crystal hospital locTed pls

Hello Doctor,

God Bless for your good work, I hope you will get to answer my question, seems you are really swamped with questions, I am asking this on behalf of my daughter as I am worried, she is 21 years old and has been complaining of irregular periods for about a year, she is away from home to the university, we spoke few days ago and she told me she still experiences irregular periods and her cycle can't be predicted again and it's not for the normal 5days but between 2 and 3 days, I'm really worried because I had primary ovarian failure at 27years of age and ad a result she is my only child, I don't want same thing for her, I would want her to see a specialist when she is back in Lagos, can you recommend a good gynaecology hospital where she can be properly checked and treated.

Thanks so much

Thanks a lot @ livaplus, I thought of that as well but hoped to get a decent person, will do as u suggested. Thanks

The car is a manual one.
