It is breakfast, which is supposed to be a "small thing". Breakfast approach in Nigeria is very wrong. In Nigeria people do very heavy breakfast like swallow, ogbonge beans and yam, mountain of rice and half chicken as early as 8am in the morning as breakfast. This is just too much.

And the process is repeated in the afternoons and evenings. So Nigerians eat three heavy meals a day and then wonder why people are struggling with personal weight issues and "big tommy". All that heavy stuffing of carbohydrate, fat and salt will store somewhere in the body; for the ladies that would be tommy, bum and arm. For the male, that is pot belly.

By design we should only eat one heavy meal a day and that should not be breakfast. Maybe lunch or early dinner could be heavy.

Breakfast should be light like fruit and vegetables salad with a slice of bread and milk or tea or coffee or juice or even water. You are good to go.
Oga there is nothing wrong in eating rice and half chicken...yam and beans in the morning provided u are going to have a productive day that involves u burning the calories.

How can can u say breakfast must be only fruit and vegetables? On what premise are u saying this? Is it just what u think is right or what u read somewhere?

Quote an authority please.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in taking heavy breakfast. Just like someone told u up there, it depends on people's jobs too. U can't just sit somewhere and be condemning people's choice of food

Where did u get this from? Are u a medical personnel or a nutritionist? How did u come about the notion that breakfast must be light?

Well, I'm not a nutritionist neither am I a professional health worker, but I've once been told by a professional that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

The former company in charge of our health insurance where I work; as part of the HMO package do have a quarterly session with us where they educate us on healthy living and ways to ensure we don't always visit hospitals every now and then.

In one of the sessions, they brought a medical personnel who explained to us that breakfast is theost important meal of the day. She further explained that there is a reason it's called "BREAKFAST". You are obviously breaking a fast. She said for example if u eat dinner around 8pm yesterday night before going to bed and Ur normal breakfast time is 9am, u should know that you have fasted for good 13 hours. You will breking the fast by 9am you should obviously eat well.

She posited it is very important u take breakfast serious. In fact she pointed at what the English breakfast comprises....looking at it u will know they mean business.

So except u are talking from the view point of a professional, I may have to disagree with u on this

I think we are just cursed with wicked leaders in this country.

See this mofo governor that was reported trapped in the US few days ago. See him hobnobbing with his aides instead of self-isolating

Boss, do you live in Nigeria or abroad?
If a lock down is announced, ten times as many people as Coronavirus will ever kill will die.
No light. How do you want to stock up on food? Network providers will go on lockdown. Banks, markets etc
What of the millions of people who MUST go out everyday to eat?
Let's just hope it doesn't get to that. I know the government here in Nigeria isn't proactive and we obviously won't last a week in a lock down situation.

Most banks have announced their workers will be working from home this week( at least my bank has announced this). Only few of their staff in some sensitive departments will be present physically in the office.

Politics › Re: Emir Of Daura, Residents Hold Special Prayer Against Coronavirus by BlueRayDick: 7:36pm On Mar 21, 2020
Before posting a comment, I tried to do a Google search on the level of education this particular Emir has but I couldn't find any. Even Wikipedia was silent on his education qualification.

So I believe this prayer he organized with hundreds of his subject in attendance contrary to the social distancing FG is promoting; is something he did in ignorance. I mean it is only lack of education that will make someone take this kind of step despite radios and TV's blaring messages discouraging social and religious gatherings.

But then again, even the head of federal government whose health minister has been preaching social distancing was seen shaking hands on camera two days ago undecided ( Before u argue this, check the calender on the wall)

I would be suprised if we don't have at least 500 people carrying Corona in Nigeria as we speak. You can be sure in Lagos today there at least 1000 weddings going down. I shudder at the thought mehn
It may even be more than that. One stupidd actor who recently returned from UK allegedly didn't self-isolate and went for the AMVCA award last Sunday. Now he's down with the COVID-19 symptom and everybody who attended the award are at risk and have been advised to self isolate.

Imagine if that guy eventually tests positive, are we not going to have serious issues. I remember seeing someone like Iyabo going to the same award with her two kids. Is that not serious gbege for one family?

All these waka-about people sef angry
One of the 10 new cases is a FIRS staff at Abuja. The man came into Nigeria on the 13 March 2020.

The sad part is the guy has been to the office after that date and they use biometric sign-in at FIRS. There is a risk of other FIRS staff contracting the virus while placing their fingers on the biometric sign-in device.

In fact, it not advisable for any company to continue the use of biometric sign-in at this period at all.

Damn!

This is serious.

While we are all still angry the Govt took the whole time in the world to ban flights from the high risk countries, it is only wise we hope they speed up contact tracing ASAP. Even if not for the Brain-dead politicians that domicile in the country capital, at least for the safety of our relatives, families and friends who reside in Abuja too.

But then again with the FCT doctors on strike, I hope the virus doesn't spread before it's contained.

This country is just 4cked up mehn.

The fruit tart was my exam work.
Crust (dough) was made with Pâté sableé dough, filling was a combination of Lemon curd and strawberry compost. Topping Swiss meringue mixed with pastry cream. strawberry and banana slices.

You watched them dishing out personal insults for days you couldn't intervene and advise them as approximate but you're here telling me to pick a struggle. You lack the moral right to tell me which struggle to pick because have you played your part I won't be here advising the two parties involved in the ugly fight.
Alaye, I don't know what u are on and about, but everyone here knows Airmark and A40 are just engaging in banter and nothing more.

I've seen Dayokanu and Airmark go at it for weeks with vituperations flying up and down with people fanning the embers with likes and shares to Cheer the parties on.


Everybody knows it's just pure banter that doesn't leave this web space. These two men when they meet will probably laugh it all over a bottle on two.

I've seen Afrodoc being trolled as abortion doctor which we know he isn't. I've seen A40 being trolled as a bariga tout which of course we know he isn't. Even Airmark has been trolled that he swam across oceans to North America.....we all know it's not possible.

However it is pure hypocrisy on Ur path taking it all serious, crying more than the bereaved and telling the parties concerned to sheath their swords, while u subtly declare one of the bantering parties champion.

This is why I called u out and won't hesitate to do it over and over again.

Airmark just give up already, A40 has won this contest save your energy for a rematch. He who runs to fight another is a wise man.

A40 and Airmark just trash this issue and move on instead of dishing out personal insults for days on public forum, it doesn't speak well of you both.
How can u be calling the two parties to trash the issue out and in the same breath u are crowning one of the parties champion undecided

You cannot be telling them to let things slide and at the same time rooting for one of them as the runaway champion.

CONFIRMED cases o

Based on Nigeria, and the way things are done, the average number of actually cases is approximately between 48 and 144.

Many people will soon turn up very sick.

Think about this for a minute how many international airports do we have in Nigerian that were fully operating before the ban. For example enugu and asaba, the amount of people passing through that place from China and Europe alone.

Plus those that don't believe in western medicine, plus strong men that won't break down even if they are sick and won't stay indoors and lose money.

[b]All it needs to spread is either public transport, market, or religious gathering.[/b]Plus all the ignorant people who haven't even heard about the virus (how will they hear when even at the church some pastors act like nothing is happening)
@The bold part of Ur statement. Take a look at the picture below. That's an old BRT bus (part of those handed out by the government to union mambers). I do see these buses on the island( CMS/ Marina axis) packing passengers mostly going to ketu-ojota / ìkoròdu axis.

During the closing hours u see people who have come to the island to hustle as drivers, office cleaners, office attendants, day security guards, and even some contract staff bank tellers hustling and jostling to eithier get a seat in the rickety bus or stand for a lesser fare. At times these buses carry over 120 pasengers, as in u will visibly see people handing to the door.

Now imagine if just one carrier joins the bus and passes it on to more people in the bus. The next day the office cleaner or office assistant who contracts it on his way home yesternight will pass it down to a senior officer in the office in the process of discharging his duties....

Our government obviously didn't think this deep. I'm sure the travel.ban was only approved when Abba Kyari was convinced about the seriousness of the virus
