The eating of protein is good for you. You typically want to eat protein with each meal so you can get your daily protein intake at the end of the day. The average individual is expected to consume about 50 - 80g of protein each day, and if you check well, it is sometimes not easy unless you are intentional about it. Also, Protein is very much missing from the typical African diet.

Our parents filled our childhood with wild stories that made us scared of everything—from eating mangoes to looking in mirrors at night. These funny myths were their clever way of keeping us on track, and even now, we can’t help but laugh (and cringe) at how much we believed them. Despite the fact that this are not factual, most of us cant still try this practices even as we have grown to adulthood. For example our parent told us that whoever took soft drink like minerals after eating mango will die. Despite been fallacious, none of us had ever attempted to try it even as we have advanced to adulthood.

Here are the other 21 lies our parents told us


1. If you drink garri or coke after eating mango, you'll d!e.

2. You must throw your fallen tooth on the roof before it can grow back.

3. When you sing & wave to the egret birds, you'll get white spots on your fingernails.

4. If it is raining and there is sun at the same time, it means that a lion or monkey is giving birth.

5. India won Nigeria 99-1 in a football match.

6. When you bend and look back in between your legs, you'll see spirits.

7. A mother and her son breaking firewood in the Moon as punishment, because they went to the farm on a Sunday and the Moon carried them.

8. Don't wear ruber bands because it drains blood.

9. If you eat while kneeling, you will never get satisfied because the devīl will be taking some.

10. If you blow air inside a pencil sharpener, it won't sharpen pencils anymore.

11. If anyone jumps or crosses you while you're sitting or lying down on the floor, you will never grow tall again until the person repeats the process.

12. If your parents send you on an errand and you came back late, to escape floggīng or punishment, you need to tie together certain leaves in the bush.

13. If you come to school late, in order not to feel pains during flogging, you need to put a stone in your mouth.

14. When you swallow a seed, especially African star apple seeds (Udara), it will germinate and grow in your stomach.

15. The coconut water is only for the elders.

16. As a young girl, if a boy touches you, it'll result to pregnancy.

17. If you whistle at night, you're calling the evīl spirits and serpents.

18. If someone bites you while fighting and you rub a fowl faeces on it, the person's teeths will fall off.

19. If you sweep the room late in the night, all your blessings will go away.

20. If you look at the mirror at night, you'll see a ghost.

21. If you eat Turkey's meat without burying the head, it will turn to a snake.

Let's tell ourselves the truth, we have been having a cosmetic economy before Tinubu, though I still don't completely agree with some of his policies and the inhumane posture of his administration but what we have now is the true reflection of how bad our economy was/is, the true value of our naira is what we have now and for a country like ours that depends 90 percent on importation except you want to be mischievous you'd agree with me that commodity prices will skyrocket as local currency loose value. What we should focus on his how to turn things around in the shortest possible time which I've not really seen any clear plan this government has to do so.

Living with unfriendly neighbors can be challenging and stressful. Some common issues people face include:
- Noise complaints: Excessive noise or disputes over noise levels can create tension.
- Boundary disputes: Conflicts over property lines, shared spaces, or encroaching vegetation can be frustrating.
- Lack of respect: Neighbors who disregard personal space or property can make living situations uncomfortable.

If you're experiencing difficulties with your neighbors, it might be helpful to:
- Communicate openly: Try to address issues directly and respectfully with your neighbors.
- Seek mediation: If direct communication doesn't work, consider seeking mediation from a neutral third party.
- Document incidents: Keep a record of incidents, including dates, times, and details of what happened.

The truth is that, when I finish NID form that maritime academy and discover that the school has no certificate I told my dad that I want to learn a programing skill but my dad friend insist I write jamb again and go for computer science instead and my parents agreed.

The only mistake I made is that I did not think about it I just accept because I believe everything they say is for my betterment.

But why attempt breaking her door with a leg kick knowing that most people in America own a gun and are always eager to use it at any slightest provocation? This is really sad, sometimes it pays to be patient. Just like that a great and promising man got wasted in a foreign land, God abeg oh

There's a traditional angle to this problem, her own mother died two years ago and going by our tradition, a woman cannot inherit or take anything from her mom when she dies, except the one given to her willingly when her mom is still alive.

My mum collected some money from the property of her late Mom that was sold, just a little money, she handed it to my brother to keep it, but we've returned it since last week, it is a complicated issue, she actually wanted to use the money for the cleansing of her late mom's remaining property

Is my grandmother behind what is happening?
