₦airaland Forum

Members of Nairaland are over a million around the world. But if you ask how do Nairalanders see Nairaland, opinion varies. The fact is that many of us are so addicted to Nairaland that we are here more than twenty or more times daily. I personally keep in touch with latest news by scooping Nairaland forum.

I know some who have secured jobs through Nairaland, while some hit a gold mine in business opportunities through Nairaland. Sadly some have been scammed too!

To some Nairaland is a like a beer parlor where conversations, both intelligent and otherwise flow. Some are level headed and matured while some are childish. While some come on board to learn new things others are here to attack anything "attackable" without reason. We have some who are very tolerant of others while few find pleasure attacking other tribes.

Then, is there favoritism on Nairaland? This is what I have in mind: Sometimes you see somebody put up a thread, usually a news item, it is not noticed. But another person put up same thing, sometime verbatim, in minutes it is there on the frontpage! What is responsible for that?

Have you also noticed that sometimes you are banned for reason you cannot understand? Interestingly, we have English teachers here too who must have seen 1001 grammatical errors in this short write-up. I appreciate these ones too. Because we keep learning everyday.

Fellow Nairalanders how do you see Nairaland?

How much do you sell Pm?

Why is there so much scam in the recharge card printing business? I think this is the second thread I have seen here on this. I cannot blame the guy who was duped because this is look like a tangible business not an internet business where most people termed as scam. If you pay this money into a bank account he cannot get away with it. You should be able to track him down. Just inform appropriate authorities. I also want to emphasize here that this fight should not be left for the victim alone. We should all be involved so that it will serve as deterrent to other scammers on the prowl.

See your grandpa

Run as fast as your leg can take you from Goldwise the other one I don't know.

Nigerians we never learn. If they are not paying and you have to make money from your next recruit what do you call that?

no network marketing fell from heaven, they are all founded by human. Thank u

I am not here to attack anybody or any company. You are right, no network marketing fell from heaven, that can never be! You are very correct , they are all human institutions. I know, with time we will be able to separate weeds from wheat in network marketing. I strongly believe it is a vehicle for residual income. The power of leverage in Networking can drastically reduce poverty in Africa only if we are able to find the right company. And that call for diligent study. We must move away from the syndrome that anything that brings money is legitimate. The main concept of network marketing is to work hard now, and enjoy your residual income forever. Unfortunately, this is not possible with pyramid companies where tangible products are not marketed. Market products that people always need. That is the basis for residual income. Many of the old schools companies, though with a compensation plans that i described as "slavery" are still around because they are real Network Marketing companies, with products that care for people daily needs. About 2 years ago, the company under review here is talk of the town. We saw laptops, cars won by some people. Now, the dust is settling down. Now we have lovecity with same concept. Early birds will make good dough while late comers will lick the dust eventually. I am not discouraging Network Marketing. But the fact is, learn it, find the right one and pursue it. And dont run from one new opportunities to another. That is not the way to success in MLM! That is my little advise for today. Take it or discard it. It is your decision to make!

Lovecity is only 5 levels. i joined June 19th, i had only registred 3 active members, and i earned closed to N100k with only N3750 (ordinary level) i joined through.

Get the point right! Nobody is saying you are not making money. The truth here is that you are making cool money from Pyramid/ponzi scheme. We know people who have won cars and made millions from such schemes. That does not change the fact. Network marketing is a profession and Nigerians need to learn it and stop running from one scams to another. I know some leaders who founded lovecity and i know why they are there.

No mining for your Cryptocurrency?
Cause me no get 38k o

I know most Nigerians are in search of invest-nothing-and-make-million opportunities. They are difficult to find. Maybe you can research other cryptocurrencies that dont cost as much for their mining.

I’ve talked about how grains in general are a poor choice for your health, but gluten containing grains like wheat, barley and rye require special attention because they can be particularly damaging to your health. All grains, including other non-gluten containing grains like oats and corn, are bad because they contain gut irritating lectins and mineral binding phytates, but you’ll learn here why gluten-containing grains and wheat especially can not only cause the same problems as other grains, but also cause much more trouble down the road.

Three main constituents are of interest here: gluten, WGA (wheat germ agglutinin) and opioid peptides found in wheat. Gluten is a compound protein that composes about 80% of the protein found in wheat, barley and rye, and WGA is a lectin found in wheat that can be particularly damaging. Opioid peptides are psychoactive chemicals and those found in wheat are similar to those found in other well known psychoactive drugs like opium or morphine.

Beware of gluten

Contrary to what is believed by many, wheat is not to be avoided only by those who suffer Celiac disease, the autoimmune disease caused by a reaction of the immune system against gliadin, a gluten protein. Those with Celiac disease only react more strongly to wheat and gluten than those without the disease, but most people have a reaction in some way or another to wheat consumption, often in insidious ways.

Here are reasons why consuming wheat or any of the gluten containing grains can be very detrimental to one’s health:

Reasons why gluten and wheat should be avoided

Gluten
Gluten causes gut inflammation in at least 80% of the population and another 30% of the population develops antibodies against gluten proteins in the gut.

Furthermore, 99% of the population has the genetic potential to develop antibodies against gluten. Antibodies acting in the gut can actually be good news, because when the body doesn’t react against gluten right away, gluten proteins can enter the blood stream more easily, especially if the gut is already leaky, and trigger immune reaction elsewhere in the body.
Since gliadin, the main problem-causing gluten protein, can be similar in structure to other proteins found in tissues of organs such as the thyroid or the pancreas, antibodies against gliadin can end up attacking those organs and ultimately cause autoimmune diseases like hypothyroidism and type 1 diabetes.

Gluten’s inflammatory effect in the gut causes intestinal cells to die prematurely and causes oxidation of those cells. This effect creates a leaky gut and a leaky gut can allow bacterial proteins and other toxic compounds to get in the blood stream, which can also lead to autoimmune attacks on the body. A leaky gut also means that food has not digested properly and nutrients are not absorbed fully, which can lead to nutrient deficiencies.


Antibodies against gluten have also been shown to attack heart tissues and cause heart disease.
Gluten has been strongly associated with cancer. It is potentially cancer causing, and at the very least, cancer promoting.

WGA (wheat germ agglutinin)
WGA, like gluten, irritates and causes premature cell death in the gut and leads to a leaky gut condition, with all the detrimental effects that are known to follow.
WGA also disrupts the mucus membrane in the gut, which can cause bacterial overgrowth and lead to a host of digestive issues like GERD and ulcers.

The lectin also often ends up circulating in the body and in the brain, where it can cause leptin resistance and cause effects similar to insulin. Those two factors could be a cause or promoter of obesity as leptin and insulin are the two most important hormones to properly regulate in order to maintain a normal weight and energy balance.

WGA and another unknown factor in wheat cause vitamin D stores to deplete abnormally fast and can therefore lead to vitamin D deficiency, with all its accompanying issues like weakening of the bones, a weakened immune system and a vulnerability to infectious diseases and bacterial attacks.

Opioid peptides
The opioid peptides found in wheat are known to cause addiction to wheat in some people and withdrawal symptoms can happen upon the removal of wheat from the diet.
They have also been associated with Schizophrenia as a possible cause or at least as a promoter of the disease.

Furthermore, Schizophrenics often see their symptoms reduce by a lot when removing wheat from their diet.

Avoid wheat

Conclusion
When it comes to things that we, humans, are not adapted to eat and digest, wheat and its gluten protein are probably at the top of the list. It’s very sad that wheat is so omnipresent in our society though and many health conditions would probably not even exist if it were not for our high consumption of wheat. Positive changes are often noticed immediately after removing wheat and other gluten containing grains from the diet.

Even though most people can indulge in less healthy choices from time to time without negative consequences, wheat and other gluten containing grains should, in my opinion and the opinion of many others in Paleo blogosphere, be completely avoided, especially for those who suffer any kind of autoimmune disease or inflammatory condition.
