Nairaland / General / Chibok Schoolgirls’ Parents Blast Jonathan by adrelanine: 6:14am On Jan 02, 2015
Two-hundred and sixty-two days after their daughters were
kidnapped from school, some of the distraught parents of the
students of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno
State, on Thursday criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for
not fulfilling his promise to rescue the girls from the custody
of Boko Haram.
The abduction of the 219 girls from their hostel at night on
April 14, 2014 has attracted global outrage and the President
had promised several times that the girls would be rescued
alive.
Nine of the abducted girls’ parents, during their meeting with
the BringBackOurGirls group on Thursday in Abuja, carpeted
the President for failing to bring back the schoolgirls.
The leader of the parents, Rev. Mark Enoch, accused the
government of having a hand in the abduction of the girls,
noting that the principal of the school in Chibok had, few
hours before the abduction, locked the girls in their hostel and
warned them not to leave.
Enoch explained that the relatives of the principal and the
school matron were able to rescue their daughters from the
sect, leaving other girls in captivity.
“This is intentional, the hand of government is in the
kidnapping; we want the government to bring back our girls.
If they cannot do it alone, they should seek the assistance of
the United Nations and some advanced countries, the
distressed father said.
The cleric, who appreciated the BBOG for not giving up on the
girls, noted that but for the activities of the coalition, the issue
of the girls would have been forgotten given the remote
location of the Chibok community.
Another parent, Mrs. Samuel Abana, asked the President to
fulfil the promise he made in July, 2014, when he met with
the parents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The President had
told the parents that the government would secure the release
of the girls.
Abana, who broke down in tears while speaking, recalled that
the Federal Government had initially denied the abduction
before Jonathan met with the parents and pledged to rescue
their daughters.
“I want to remind the President of his promise when he met
with us; he promised to rescue our daughters, he said he
would bring the girls back, but six months later, there is no
result. Mr. President, will you fail to rescue them, if your
daughter is abducted? If you can’t do it alone, invite the
United Nations to come and rescue our daughters,” she said.
Another parent, Bulama Jonah, recalled how the school
principal sent his daughter home because she had not paid
N300 for testimonial certificate, adding that the girls had just
two subjects to do in their examinations before they were
taken away by their abductors.
“The saddest thing was that my daughter was sent home
because of N300 just a day before she was kidnapped; I gave
her the money for her testimonial and she went back to
school only for her to be abducted,” he said.
Mrs. Martha Enoch said she was tired of government’s failed
promises, and urged it to take whatever action was necessary
to rescue the seized girls.
“Government kept saying they would bring back the girls, but
if they can’t bring them alive, they should bring their dead
bodies,” she stated.
The BBOG lamented the failure of the President to mention the
issue of the Chibok girls in his New Year broadcast, stressing
that it showed that the government did not care about them.
Few days after the girls were abducted, Boko Haram claimed
responsibility for the kidnapping. It released a video of the
girls while the sect’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, boasted that
the young girls, most of who were said to be Christians, had
been converted to Islamic religion and that they would be
given out in marriages at a token.
While unconfirmed reports said that some of the girls had died
of snake bite in the forest where they were kept, a handful had
escaped from the insurgents’ captivity.
The United Nations in August had announced rehabilitation
facilities for the escaped Chibok girls.
In a statement on the UN website, the United Nations
Population Fund had said that it was working in collaboration
with the World Health Organisation and the United Nations
Children’s Fund to set up clinics to provide health screening
for any of the girls coming back, as well as educating those
who had escaped.
The representative of the UNFPA in Nigeria, Ms. Rati Ndhlovu,
had also been quoted as saying, “The girls are running from
home and they have no menstruation pads and have nothing
to use. They need water. They need the basic things that
keep a woman dignified.”

CELEBRATING THE NEW
YEAR
By Dr. Bilal Philips
Origins
January is named after Janus, the
Roman god of doors and
gateways. He was commonly
depicted in statues, carvings and
paintings as a two headed man
with one head facing forward and
the other head facing backwards.
In 46BC Julius Caesar chose
January 1 as the first day of the
New Year as Janus symbolically
represented the door to the New
Year . Wild parties and orgies
were held on the night before the
New Year ’s Day as a re-enactment
of the chaos which Roman
mythology depicted as preceding
the cosmos or the ordered world
whose organization was set by the
gods. Furthermore, by that time,
Janus had become, in practice, the
highest god receiving the ritual
sacrifices of Roman worshippers
before the other gods, including
the chief god, Jupiter.[1]
Thus, in its essence the
celebrations of the New Year on
January 1 and New Year’s Eve,
the night before, are a part and
parcel of pagan religious rituals
based on idolatrous beliefs in false
gods. Consequently, it is
completely Haraam (sinful and
forbidden) for Muslims to
participate in or adopt any of its
related rituals, customs and
symbols.
If a non-Muslim greets a
Muslim, “Happy New Year”,
the Muslim is not allowed to
respond in a similar manner
or say, “Same to you.”
Instead, in order not to offend
or hurt the feelings of non-
Muslim friends or
acquaintances, one may say
instead, “Happy holiday.”
As for celebrating the New Year
according to the Islamic calendar
which begins with the month of
Muharram, this is also not
permissible from a number of
perspectives. First and foremost,
if one does so believing that it is
pleasing to Allah to do so, thereby
transforming it into an act of
worship, it becomes a Bid‘ah or
cursed innovation in the religion
about which the Prophet (pbuh)
said, “Every innovation in
religion is misguidance and all
misguidance leads to the Hellfire.”
If one does so merely as a custom,
it is still impermissible as it falls
under the prohibition of imitation
of pagan customs about which the
Prophet (pbuh) said, “Whoever
imitates a people becomes one of
them.”
[1] Pope Gregory 13 who set the
modern calendar, the Gregorian
calendar, also officially fixed the
first day of the year for Christian
Europe as January 1 in 1582.

Crime / Mechanic Stabs Man For Pinging While Driving In Lagos (Photo) by adrelanine: 6:25am On Dec 30, 2014
A mechanic, Olajide Olaniran, has stabbed a 34-year-old man, Julius Joseph, for allegedly pinging on the road while driving in the Ijaiye area of Lagos State.

Our correspondent gathered that Joseph was returning from a bank in the area to withdraw money when Olaniran, who was in a Toyota Corolla, blocked the road and accused him of pinging and driving.

It was, however, learnt that Joseph was checking an alert he received on his phone when the incident occured.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Joseph challenged the 42-year-old mechanic for driving against the traffic and both men alighted from their cars.

Following an altercation between the two, Olaniyan, who hails from Ibadan, Oyo State, allegedly used a bottle to stab Joseph after which he made off with his (Joseph’s) two phones and N5,000.

The victim reportedly slumped at the spot having lost much blood. He was said to have been rushed to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, and was later referred to the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi for intensive care.

Our correspondent learnt that the suspect was arrested after the incident was reported at the Meiran Police Station.

A prosecutor, Lugard Ahonle, subsequently brought him before an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ijaiye on five counts bordering on assault and stealing.

The charges read in part, “That you, Olajide Olaniran, on October 8, 2014 at about 5pm at Jolaco Filling Station, Obadeyi, Ijaiye, Lagos State, in the Ikeja Magisterial District, did assault one Julius Joseph, by beating him up for challenging you while driving against the traffic with your Toyota Corolla saloon car.

“That you, on the same date, time and place, in the aforesaid magisterial district, did attempt to kill one Julius Joseph by stabbing him severally on his two hands over an argument between the two of you.

“That you did steal a Samsung iPhone valued at N60,000, Q10 BlackBerry valued at N98,000 and a sum of N5,000, property of one Julius Joseph.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the offences, which the police said contravened sections 55, 170, 243, 285, 404, Vol. 44 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2011.

The presiding magistrate, Mrs. T. Akani, admitted him to bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum.

Akani adjourned the case till January 26, 2015 for mention.

Celebrities / Re: Actress Oge Okoye Celebrates Son As He Turns 8 Years (Photos) by adrelanine: 6:41am On Dec 29, 2014
Today we are all worried about moral decadence in
society. We look with consternation at our young girls
who have thrown decency to the winds. They expose the
sensitive parts of their body freely. Their bellies are for
reckless distraction. They come out dressed 'to kill'.
Coverless and backless garbs are their stock in trade.
They shun dresses which cover them very well unless it is
body hug.
What about young males? They use ear rings, plait their
hair like women and sag their trousers! Its a mad world
today. I must confess.
BUT WHO IS RESPONSIBLE AND WHAT IS THE
SOLUTION?
perhaps this short story will provide an insight into the
ugly trend.
About 30 years ago,a 16-year old school girl became
pregnant .she successfully hid the pregnancy from her
parent and the school authorities for eight months.this
was very easy for her because she is a slim girl. For the
remaining one month she used a girdle to keep her
stomach in check. She ran into the jungle when she was
due for deliver
This dare-devil girl was able to deliver safely in the bush .
She abandon the baby in the bush and fled towards home.
The new baby lay on its back, crying all day. Then the
unexpected happened.
A wolf which just delivered its own babies and was
actually suckling them head the baby's cry .curious, the
wolf went in the direction of the baby voice. It discovered
the new baby still covered with blood. As if guided by an
unseen power, the wolf started licking the blood off the
baby's body.
Suddenly the human baby grabbed the wolf"s dangling
bosom and started sucking them, thereby quenching a
thirst and hunger which had kept it crying for hours.the
wolf responded by bending lower on the baby so that it
could suck easily and it did not leave the baby until the
latter fell asleep. ALLAHU AKBAR(GOD IS GREAT)
The same wolf came back in the morning to suckle the
human baby. It repeated this exercise each time it fead
its own children. Days and weeks went by and a strong
closeness evolved btwn the wolf and the human baby
who grew up to become a handsome boy playing
alongside the wolf,'s children in the jungle.
After about 15yrs later the wolf-boy wondered into a
human habitation in a remote village in south America.
The villagers were shocked to see him. He just as
completely Unclad.thinking he was a mad man, they tried
to capture him but he was too strong for them. They only
succeeded after throwing a net on him and entangling him
in the web of a fisherman's net.
All attempt to speak with him failed as the wolf-boy could
neither speak human language nor understand it. He
barked each time he attempted to speak. He picked food
offered to him with his mouth. In fact it took him some
years before he was trained to eat, speak and behave like
a human being..
RELATING THE ABOVE STORY TO OUR WORLD TODAY.
The above story has proved beyond any doubts that it's
the human bosom that babies take which sustain their
humanity till adulthood. A mother's bosom milk turns on
the tenderness In children and makes them completely
human while lack of it or their consumption of animal
milk deprives them of human feelings and drives them
closer to animals.
Most of the girls who expose their precious parts in public
have lost all sense of shame because they took more cow
milk than human milk when they were kids. They do not
feel ashamed of going about half -Unclad because cows
(whose bosom milk they took in form of mechanised milk
like NAN, lactogen, SMA,Nutrend e.t.c) have no shame.it
is the same for area boys who speak like cows or cult
boys and armed robbers who cut and kill other beings
mercilessly..
Can you draw any similarity between indecent dressing
and the use of cow milk by children? Think about it! Was
there any case of cultism in schools 50yrs ago? Did
young men sag their trousers 40yrs ago?...
This is therefore a clarion call on women to realise the
vital role they play in shaping the moral of society..
Every child is important just as every nursing mother is
important. We appeal to nursing morthe to take good care
if children and stop thier rush for material wealth.
Responsible motherhood today necessitates two years
bosom feeding The world is going down the drain due to
moral decadence and it is mainly due to adulteration of
breastfeeding procedure with animal milk,.women must
come to rescue. Women must save the world. Women can
turn the hand of the satanic clock by abiding by the
recommended two-year bosom feeding method. Come,
women, let us save the world

Family / Photo: Fire Roasts 4 Children Of Same Parents To Death On Xmas Day In Anambra by adrelanine: 7:19am On Dec 28, 2014
From DAVID ONWUCHEKWA,Nnewi

Tragedy struck at Umuele Umudim, Nnewi, Anambra State, on Christ­mas as four children of the same parents were roasted to death by mys­tery fire in their three-bedroom apartment on the ground floor of a sto­rey building when their parents were not around.

The victims, Chioma Ofomata, 6 years old, Goodness, and Mercy Ofo­mata who were twins, 3, and Ifeoma, 2, all females were allegedly locked in­side the apartment by their mother, Mrs. Chineme­rem Ofomata, who was said to have gone to have a share of Christmas rice gift meant for widows in the community, after her husband, a vulcanizer, had already gone out to work with two of their children (boys), Kosy, 8, and Ebu­ka, 5.

Father of the victims, Mr. Anthony Ofomata, 57, said it was around 6pm, on December 25, that he was returning home only to see crowd at his residence, which is isolated from oth­er buildings and, according to him, it was only his fam­ily that occupied the entire building.

According to him, he saw flames and sympathis­ers struggling to destroy the doors and windows and the iron burglary proofs to rescue the four children in the midst of the raging fire to no avail. He said his wife did not tell him where she was going to and did not know that the children were locked inside the house.

Our source said before people could notice what was happening at the house it was when flames were already coming out through the windows indi­cating that the children had already been consumed by the inferno before help could come. Probably, when they were crying for help, nobody heard them. The source said when the door was finally forced open, the charred bodies of the children were seen mangled together at one corner of the house where they had run to possibly thinking they would be saved there.

Mother of the victims said the door was actually locked outside to restrict movement of the children, as she said it wasn’t the first time the children were locked inside.

As for what caused the fire, she said she did not know, adding that there was no inflammable mate­rial inside the apartment. She said she locked them inside after having a meal with them and set out for the sharing. She denied that the rice was meant for widows alone.

“The rice was meant for everybody, not widows alone. If you like go and find out. I don’t know what caused the fire,” she said when the police led her to the scene of the incident for investigation after be­ing arrested.

Bodies of the deceased were later deposited at a near by mortuary as mother of the victims is still telling the police what she knew about the incident.

Nairaland / General / Muslim Youths Protect Christians During Xmasservice In Kaduna by adrelanine: 6:37pm On Dec 26, 2014
More than 200 Muslim youth volunteers are part of those
protecting Christians during church services to celebrate this

service.
According to him, the feat is the first of its kind after the
series of crises that rocked the state in recent past.
“I really appreciate their love and care,’’ said the cleric.
Buru said the essence of that was to protect the Christian
worshippers as part of effort to strengthen peaceful co-
existence between Muslims and Christians in the state.
The pastor expressed happiness over the protection given to
them by the Muslim brothers.
He noted the initiative was an indication that peace has come
to stay in the state, saying the measure will strengthen a
lasting peace between the two religions.

Politics / N21bn: Activists Ask INEC To Disqualify Jonathan, PDP by adrelanine: 1:55am On Dec 26, 2014
[b]Some human rights activists have called on the Independent
National Electoral Commission to restore sanity in the
nation’s electoral system by disqualifying President Goodluck
Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party from participating
in the February 2014 general elections.
The activists argued on Thursday that since the President
and the PDP knowingly flouted the Electoral Act which
prescribes N1bn as the maximum amount a presidential
candidate could incur on electioneering, they deserved to be
sanctioned.
The rights activists – Debo Adeniran, Lanre Suraj, Femi
Aborisade, Malachy Ugwummadu and Wale Ogunade, also
slammed the police authorities for their indifference to the
open breach of the Act.
Section 91(9) of the Act reads, “An individual or other
entity shall not donate more than N1m to any candidate.”
Sub-section 10 of the same section adds that a presidential
candidate “who knowingly acts in contravention of this section
commits an offence and on conviction is liable to a maximum
fine of N1m or imprisonment for a term of 12 months or
both.”
Section 91(2) of the same Act states that, “The maximum
election expenses to be incurred by a candidate at a
presidential election shall be N1bn.”
Adeniran, who is the Chairman of Coalition Against Corrupt
Leaders, said in an interview with The PUNCH on Thursday,
that the donation by PDP governors government agencies and
public agencies to the Jonathan campaign war chest was
distasteful.
According to him, their action ran contrary to the call by the
Federal Government on Nigerians to brace for austerity
measures.
The anti-corruption campaigner also pointed out that the
donation by players in the power sector amounted to forcing
Nigerians who had been made to pay for electricity they were
not provided with, to donate to Jonathan’s re-election bid.
He said, “The donation of over N21bn is a demonstration of
immorality in government. This is a clear violation of the
Electoral Act that specifies just N1bn for expenditure in
campaigns. Then that many of those who donated are
government agencies accentuates the recklessness and
impunity that governs the minds of our rulers.
“In a country where the government is asking the people to
tighten their belts, its agencies are donating several
millions of naira.
“These also included the people in the power sector who have
not been able to supply electricity which the people have paid
for. This is to say that people are being forced to contribute
to the campaign of the incumbent regime and that is
another level of immorality.
“INEC needs to bar Jonathan and his party from participating
in the general elections next year because they knowingly
contravened the law governing elections in the country.”
He also challenged the Independent Corrupt Practices and
Other-Related Offences Commission to investigate the
breach.
“It is not direct robbery that the police can intervene without
being invited. It is the duty of the ICPC to set up the Anti-
Corruption and Transparency Unit that has the mandate to
call to question, all the authorities that are violating
transaction and procurement rules like it is being perpetrated
by Jonathan and his political party.
“We expect the ICPC to move to check these financial
shenanigans. The ICPC does not need a petition before
they could act.”
On his part, Aborisade argued that since the police
authorities were fully represented at the PDP dinner/fund-
raiser on Saturday, they did not require any report or
invitation from any quarter to commence investigation.
He said the police “should not give us the impression that
they are only there to protect the interest of the ruling party
at the centre.”
“They are to investigate and prosecute crimes committed
against the law of Nigeria. The 1999 Constitution and the
electoral law have been breached and the police are
empowered to so act,” Aborisade, who is also a lawyer added.
While he made reference to section 4 of the Police Act to
corroborate his stance, he advised INEC to go ahead and
disqualify Jonathan and the PDP .
He said, “They are part and parcel of the Nigerian society.
They are fully aware. The police were well represented at the
donation. They witnessed it and they do not require any other
form of report from anybody. It is public knowledge and they
ought to have acted appropriately.
“But not only the police, even INEC ought to disqualify PDP
from presenting a candidate and ought to disqualify the
candidate of the PDP because they have flouted, in a very
disgraceful and condemnable manner, the Electoral Act.
“I think the INEC should introduce sanity into the Electoral
process because with that kind of donation, they are merely
saying they can induce every voter so that they can win the
2015 election.
“Our elections should not be monetised; they should be based
on issues or ideas that can uplift the lot of our people as
contained in the constitution.”
Also, Ugwummadu lamented that the donation had
demonstrated that “Nigeria has now become a huge theatre of
absurdity and one in which clear criminal actions and
activities have now worn a garb of comedy.”
He said, “On the day of the donation which was streamed
live on the television, I personally called the leadership of
several law enforcement agencies in this country to tell them
that they don’t need a complainant to begin to arrest those
people who were donating.
“And the fact that the arrest didn’t happen, even as I knew it
would not happen, clearly describes the poverty of the
situation we find ourselves which is indeed hopeless.
“We are now at the last bus stop before anarchy – that bus
stop where 18-year-old girls are now enrolled as suicide
bombers in legions; where crimes and criminalities are
perpetrated with impunity and encouraged by the ruling
political party.”
The activist advised INEC to disqualify the PDP and Jonathan
from participating in the elections as “they have been involved
in a clear case of criminality.” [/b]

Nairaland / General / Christmas Tragedy As Medical Doctor Dies In Inferno by adrelanine: 6:27pm On Dec 25, 2014
It was a sad Christmas morning for residents of Oke Ibukun Street, off Araromi, in Akure, Ondo State capital, who woke up to a raging fire that razed a clinic, Universal Medical Clinic (Specialist Children Clinic) and killing one Dr. David Oguntuase, said to be the owner of the clinic.

Our correspondent gathered that the fire began at 12.30 am on Thursday, but no one was able to determine the actual cause of the fire.

Sympathisers could not hold back their tears as they watched the remains of the doctor in the midst of the building, burnt beyond recognition.

It was learnt that the doctor worked as a Consultant Pediatrician at the Federal Medical Centre in Owo while he maintained the private clinic in Akure.

Some residents were said to have made frantic efforts to rescue the building, but their efforts to get the firemen to the scene failed, as none of the fire officers came to the scene in spite of the calls made to them.

A resident, Ajayi Olorunlogbon, explained that but for the efforts of neighbors around, the fire could have spread to other houses.

Officers of the Fire Service in the state could not be reached, but Police Public Relations Officer, Wole Ogodo, confirmed the incident, and said the state police command had begun an investigation into the cause of the fire.

He said, “The doctor was consumed in an inferno in his clinic and we have commenced our investigation, while his corpse had be taken to the morgue for autopsy.”

Ogodo added that the wife of the late doctor, Wuraola Oguntuase, came to report the incident at the A-Division Police Station in Akure.

Education / Re: Insurgency: FG Hires NICON To Insure 125,000 Students by adrelanine: 5:59pm On Dec 25, 2014

Education / Insurgency: FG Hires NICON To Insure 125,000 Students by adrelanine: 5:37pm On Dec 25, 2014
To control the consequences of Boko Haram insurgency and
other forms of insecurity in the country, the Federal
Government has hired NICON Insurance Plc to insure 125,000
secondary school students scattered in 104 unity schools
across the country.
Each student of the unity schools is expected to pay N5,000
premium per annum. This means that the company would be
raking in N625m per annum from the insurance scheme.
NICON Insurance, a company that once belonged to the
Federal Government was sold to business mogul, Jimoh
Ibrahim, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in 2006.
Investigation by our correspondent showed that there was no
bidding for the insurance contract which has been handed
over to NICON Insurance as the sole underwriter of the 104
unity schools scattered across the country.
In a circular informing parents and guardians of the new fee
to be paid, a principal of one of the unity schools in the
country said the new policy was because of the general
security challenges across the country.
The circular reads, “Due to the security challenges in the
country, the Federal Ministry of Education has employed the
services of NICON Insurance Company to insure Federal
Government College students.
“Each student is expected to pay N5,000 yearly and also
complete the form attached. This amount will be remitted into
NICON Insurance account to be supplied later.”
In a telephone interview with our correspondent, Spokesman
of NICON Insurance Plc, Mr. Ade Adesokan, confirmed that the
company was in the process of rolling out the product. He
confirmed that the company was the sole underwriter
nationwide.
In the parlance of the insurance company, the scheme is titled
Students Welfare Insurance Scheme for Unity Schools.
Adesokan said, “The student welfare insurance scheme is a
product designed by NICON Insurance Limited to provide
much needed benefits under a combined personal accident
and life cover for the students and their sponsors.”
According to the company, in the case of accidental death of a
student, the sponsor named in the policy would be entitled to
N500,000.
In the event of the death of sponsor or guardian of a student,
the student would be entitled to payment of school fees up to
the year of graduation from the secondary school (maximum
of N500,000 for this benefit).

Nairaland / General / See The Beauty Of Eating Chicken Here. by adrelanine: 2:40pm On Dec 25, 2014
Chicken is a very popular food in this country as well as
throughout the world. Just about every country on this planet
has a famous chicken soup and recipe. It is so adaptable,
widely available, and reasonably affordable.
Many also prefer it to seafood and fish because of its
inoffensive taste that will not interfere with others, so it
marries well with bolder flavours.
But apart from its delicious taste, nutritionists say chicken is
especially good for the heart, as it contains the good fatty
acids which do not encourage weight gain — a predisposing
factor for coronary heart disease.
Consultant Nutritionist, Dr. Shola Adebiyi, says that the
Omega-3 fatty acids in chicken reduces risks of
cardiovascular diseases.
Adebiyi states, “Chicken is relatively low in saturated fats,
compared to many protein alternatives such as meat,
especially when the skin is removed and it is not fried.

“By eating chicken, you will lower your risk of developing heart
disease by reducing your LDL or “bad” cholesterol. Basically,
eating chicken makes it easier for you to maintain a healthy
weight due to its low fat content.”
If you want to reduce your risks for some forms of cancer,
experts say you should incorporate chicken into your diet.
Food experts note that chicken is a great source of selenium
– a trace element that has been shown to fight cancer.
They affirm that selenium has a positive effect on the
incidence of other degenerative diseases, including
inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurological
diseases and infections.
“A part of chicken contains 24 microgrammes of selenium,
which is 44 per cent of the selenium you need daily. Selenium
is an antioxidant that activates vitamins C and E and their
ability to fight cancer-promoting free radicals.”
Many are aware of the fact that chicken is one of the richest
sources of protein, but few actually know that chicken is
loaded with vitamin B3, B6 and niacin — nutrients that have
been known to boost immunity, protect against infections and
also help cell regeneration and rejuvenation.
Experts highlight that vitamin B6 found in chicken is an
essential element that helps the body produce insulin needed
for the metabolism of protein and carbohydrates.
“Without vitamin B6, your immune system, metabolism and
central nervous system would not function properly. The
active form of vitamin B6, called pyridoxal phosphate, has the
largest effect on human metabolism and each serving of
chicken contains 40 per cent of your daily recommended
vitamin B6 intake,” Adebiyi adds.
You have been told the many amazing benefits of eating
chicken. However, nutritionist and dietician, Dr. Segun Alonge,
maintains that for you to actually get the benefits
aforementioned, you must eat the right form of chicken, which
is the organic or grass-fed one.
Alonge says since organically raised animals are not fed
antibiotics, artificial hormones, or the bovine human growth
hormone, otherwise known as rbGH and they also do not eat
genetically modified foods, and cannot have their genes
modified, they contain nutrients that is good for the body.
He adds that organic chicken also contain no pesticides,
herbicides, fungicides, chemical or synthetic fertilisers, nitrates
or preservatives that could pose any harm to the body, unlike
the factory fed chicken.
“Organic chicken does not contain toxins, chemicals and
drugs that you will find in those commercially raised ones.
“Fat is where toxins are stored in any animal. Hence, growth
hormones and antibiotics fed to chickens end up in their fat.
“Eating those factory fed chicken increases your exposure to
residues of pesticides and synthetic chemicals such as DDT,
PCBs, dioxin, and more, which end up in animal fat. Such
chemicals can contribute to a number of health problems such
as diabetes.”
They say that since organic animals are reared under ethical
and conducive conditions, their meat is less likely to be
infected when compared to infection rates in factory-raised
animals.
“Factory-farmed animals live in feedlots that prevent normal
growth and development. Infections spread faster among
animals that are grown in a caged environment.
The chances of spreading infections in organically raised
animals are minimal because they feed outdoors, grazing on
grass and wandering freely on the farm,” he adds.
Tips for preparing chicken
Be extremely careful when handling raw chicken so that it
does not come in contact with other foods, especially
those that will be served uncooked.
Wash the cutting board, utensils, and even your hands
very well with hot, soapy water after handling the chicken.
If your recipe requires marinating, you should always do so
in the refrigerator, as chicken is very sensitive to heat,

which can increase the chances of spoilage.
