Evidenced by? We need to pull these kid's health records to truly ascertain what happened. Poor health seeking behaviour of the caregivers is a menace in our country and until that is ruled out in this case, I will keep my opinions to myself.

In a country with very poor food security, this may be targeted at the wrong audience.

Also, there is quite a bit of misinformation in this post, so I took the liberty of asking ChatGPT to address some of the claims, particularly within the context of our local environment.

1. “Beans is more carbohydrate than protein, therefore it isn't really a healthy source of protein.” — FALSE
A food does not have to contain more protein than carbohydrate to qualify as a good protein source. Beans are widely recognised as an important plant-based protein source. They also provide complex carbohydrates, fibre, folate, iron, potassium and other nutrients.


2. “Beans contains little protein.” — MISLEADING
Cooked beans typically provide about 7–9 g of protein per 100 g, depending on the variety. A normal serving can therefore contribute a meaningful amount of protein to the diet.


3. “Healthy proteins are found in eggs, fish and meats.” — INCORRECT
Eggs, fish and meat are excellent sources of high-quality protein, but healthy protein is not limited to animal protein. Beans, lentils, peas, nuts and seeds are also recognised sources of healthy plant protein.


4. “Rice + beans = carbohydrate + carbohydrate with fibre and little protein.” — MISLEADING
Rice and beans actually make a useful nutritional combination because their proteins complement each other. Legumes are relatively rich in lysine but lower in methionine, while cereals such as rice have the opposite pattern. Eating them together therefore improves the overall amino-acid profile of the meal.


5. “The ratio of beans should be higher than rice.” — THERE IS NO SUCH UNIVERSAL RULE
There is no scientifically established beans-to-rice ratio that everyone should follow. Appropriate portions depend on age, energy requirements, activity level, nutritional status, health conditions and the overall diet.


6. “Rice has a high glycaemic index and digests very fast.” — OVERGENERALISATION
The glycaemic index of rice varies considerably according to the type of rice, processing and method of preparation. Not every type of rice has the same glycaemic index, and eating rice as part of a mixed meal can also alter the glycaemic response.


7. “Garri has a high GI and breaks down carbohydrates very fast.” — OVERSIMPLIFIED
The glycaemic response to garri can vary according to processing, preparation, quantity consumed and what it is eaten with. Glycaemic index should not simply be interpreted as how quickly a food “breaks down carbohydrates.”


8. “Carbohydrates are converted to glucose and can spike blood sugar, so carbohydrate intake should be limited.” — MISLEADING
Conversion of digestible carbohydrate to glucose is normal physiology. Carbohydrates are an important source of energy. What matters is the type and quantity of carbohydrate, portion size, overall dietary pattern and the individual's metabolic health.


9. “Beans doesn't really spike sugar on its own; what you pair it with is the problem.” — NOT QUITE CORRECT
Beans contain carbohydrates and therefore can raise blood glucose. However, because they contain fibre, resistant starch and protein and generally have a low glycaemic index, they tend to produce a slower and more gradual rise in blood glucose than many refined carbohydrate foods.


10. “The best pairing with beans is eggs, fish, meat, plantain, vegetables and fruits.” — NO SINGLE ‘BEST’ PAIRING EXISTS
Beans can form part of many nutritionally balanced meals. Interestingly, plantain is also predominantly a carbohydrate food, so recommending beans with plantain while describing beans with rice as “carbohydrate + carbohydrate” is inconsistent.



Most importantly in the Nigerian context

In a country where food insecurity and affordability of animal-source foods are significant concerns, describing beans as containing “little protein” or suggesting that only eggs, fish and meat provide “healthy protein” is particularly problematic. Beans are an affordable, culturally acceptable and valuable source of plant protein, in addition to providing fibre, complex carbohydrates and important micronutrients.

The appropriate public-health message should therefore be dietary diversity, appropriate portions and balanced meals—not that beans are “not really a healthy source of protein.”

Pretty girl

Nostalgic

FreeStuffsNG:
It is so obvious that OP is not married. Talk is cheap.

Only a naive man will read all these and then copy and paste into his marriage. Smh.

Well said

Only jailed?

I will believe it when it is actually done. Promises amd wishful thinking do not work anymore

JuanDeDios:
He couldn't even blur out their faces. I hope some young lawyer fresh from school sees it and uses it to shine by encouraging them to sue.

Honestly, this is our problem. We are not been sued enough

lezz:
this is complete invasion of privacy and disclosure of ailments which should be under patient -doctor privilege.

Attention seekers and content creators have no lower places to be anymore.

Well said

Orinechi:
U What they need now is assistance forr them to get treated. If you cannot help or seek for a way of helping, put your advice in your pocket. Rubbish!

Ignorance is definitely bliss. Enjoy

I don't even know where to start on how unethical this is... Invading people's privacy in this manner is a big NOOOO. The moderators in this forum should know better and if not should be educated properly before someone is sued. @Seun Put your house in order.

Poske95:
The only way to appreciate the positive na the negative
SOJI

True. How soon can we get the positive part

engagingworld:
Under Attack? Really? The problem with your gender is that you are always afraid of the truth. Lies make you feel comfortable and secure. If you are a christian, the bible says know the truth and the truth will set you free. Stop believing in lies. Don't be afraid of the truth.

To the bible then

JimD:
You said nothing with a lot of words

Glad it caught your interest

Lovit:
You seem not to get the point. The OP never encouraged women to stay in abusive marriages, he never did
records as quoted shows more women initiate divorce, and in most cases, their reason for wanting to leave is not because the man is hostile to them, most of the time they are deceived by bitter women out there to thinking they are better outside without their husbands. some do this just to stay free from commitment and go for the man's wealth. 70% of the times, they leave because of greed.

No woman should stay in an abusive marriage, but before you leave your husband for the street, make sure you are not the cause of the problem in the marriage

But women rarely agree they contributed to the problem in a marriage, it is always the man's fault

Your perspective doesn't change reality!

All true. I acknowledge that the reality ia most likely the case as the op posted but like someone opined earlier, most women want to remain married

Not sure if that will make any dent. Best to gift him a plan or short a stock so that he can make a killing. Think money in millions of dollars and you will definitely be in his good books.

A rare reproach. We might see better days yet in our dear country if respected leaders all speak up against the ills in our society.

It appears the female gender is under attack. This new trend to always highlight the negatives and rarely acknowledge the positives of women in general is very disturbing. Constantly dishing out a litany of advice and yet failing to work on one's shortcomings is equally hypocritical and repulsive and my hope is that we all improve on this over time.

My take on this topic is that while it appears that divorced women get the short end of the stick in majority of cases due to the above points outlined, a choice has been made and the consequences must be lived, no matter how ugly. Focusing on what would have been had she stayed in the marriage is not in the equation anymore since a choice was made to leave in spite of the new perceived challenges.

Once again it all boils down to decisions, some choose to stay in unhappy, abusive marriages preferring that to the alternative while others choose to leave. Our job is to respect the dignity/right to live and be happy of both parties and most importantly mind our own business while we are at it.

Lots of ignorant comments

Do not conclude yet until you hear from both parties including the child

Isn't this harassment? And why take a video of this young man?

That money is ridiculously small. Boy was cheated

LordLicifer:
Yes, I agree, marriage doesn't equal to validation not necerssarily But as i said validation goes beyond just looks, in my opinion, i give further example, If i complement you on how a brilliant doctor you are and you accept my complements that falls into validation category or wouldn't you want to be told by any man how well you do in your field of occupation?

And this particular discourse on this topic it is a woman who is seeking validation from men i have never come across or read a man demanding that his girlfriend or wife should dress him how she would want.

Again, i accept your stance, and wouldn't it be good if a man sees a woman differently than how good she looks? Digressing... Did you know that been a woman doctor could also be attractive to many men? I know, I have dated a General practitioner/surgeon and her proffessional brilliance was what attracted me to her. even at that she wanted compliments on her looks.

Honestly one's looks should be the least of concerns as long as you are comfortable in your skin

Staged. Didn't watch

LordLicifer:
Okay, i agree, women should dress how they feel comfortable but then again dressing comfortably is relative, some women might feel comfortable not making any effort atall to look presentable atleast. But it isn't just about how they feel or how comfortable they feel it is also how other people mainly men would see or fancy them including married women. If i come into your office would you attend to me wearing your under garments? After all it feels comfortable to you.



You might feel that there is a rhetoric but many women would feel different remember it is just your feelings.

Yes, i agree that SOME not all financially independent women may be immune to the the rhetoric, as you put it,

My point is over all the relationship between women and men be it validations, friendships, attractions or marriage regardless of women's high power and financial independence men's opinon on how women looks still matters hugely to most women.

Example: Beyonce, married to a man
Ivanka Trump, married to a man
Victoria Beckham, married to a man
Remi Tinbubu married to a man
Hillaryy Clinton, Michelle Obama and many more influencial high powered women. Oh! I forgot, Meghan Markel


Validation by men matters to these women hence their marriages to men wouldn't you agree? Validations by men are not just on physical appearances of women it goes beyond just that. My believe anyway

Have you ever heard of Onlyfans? Women are even monetising men's validations on how women looks thesedays

If marriage equals validation to women then same logic applies to men. Validation in our discourse means losing one's self inspite of marriage to the ideals and values of your spouse. My stance is that women should work on improving themselves to avoid falling into this trap

LordLicifer:
There are no level of control as it appears. What level would you want it to be on? The level is quite high. See it from the pursuit of happiness view rather than just validation although validation is included. That is why many women lament on finding it hard to find suitors. If a man pays you compliment on how you dress or look after yourself would you not accept? Would it not make you feel happy?

For people in my age bracket, compliment vs mood relationship becomes redundant. We dress exactly how we feel no matter whose ox is gored. You must agree with me, at least to some extent, that a financially independent woman is more immune to the male vs female rhetoric that is being peddled around. There are more things to worry about for crying out loud for example World peace

LordLicifer:
Well.... After all said and done all the achievements, building themselves, confident and that what you would find is that women would still seek validation from men it's a nature it can never stop. Many many succesful women still seek validation from men.

Even YOU still seek validation and attention from men unless you are a lesbian

Perhaps but at least there is some level.of control or don't you agree?

Interesting submissions here. I only wish the posts can be filtered according to age, marital status etc

Declaring that men are bound to cheat only makes me wonder what women are bound to do as well.

The crux of this matter here is most women are financially incapable to take full control and charge of every facet of her life. A woman who earns extremely well will not be concerned about silly topics such as this. Whether the man is there or not or pays attention to her or not is immaterial in the general scheme of things.

Not sure how how else to put it but age, maturity and of course financial prowess goes a long way to filter what's truly important and noise. I only wish that women will concentrate more on building themselves and being more confident in what they can achieve on their own without this constant need of seeking for validation from the men in their lives.

The adverts are getting better. Well done. Hopefully when next we meet, you will be among the top 20 in the country.

ufotunang:
...ok but is it right for the person to pay for the medical services and treatment after the hospital and doctor, nurse could not safe the live of the child.. after the child has died

A better analogy is this, have you stopped going to church, or paying tithes/offerings because God allowed a loved one you care about to die?

No one truly knows what happened to that child but no matter the situation, violence can never be the answer.

Now the man has more problems to contend with and I bet you it will end with him paying his bills in full, offering an apology to those nurses and paying for damages.

That burial which he so desperately wanted to conduct will be placed on hold until the above is addressed adequately.

Why go to movies when in reality, we are being lied to constantly about this subject matter
