Its popularly known as Awin in yoruba,icheku in igbo,and Tsamiyar kurm in Hausa.Its a fruit of native west African tree,especially loved by Nigerian choldren.it has a sweet and tangy taste.orange -like in colour. Most of us love dis fruit but probably know nothing about its health benefits.

It cures the following:

1.Malaria:
According to research, the leaf extract inhibits the
growth of plasmodium falciparum which causes malaria
therefore, taking a decoction can cure malaria.


2.Treats Ulcer and prevents hypertention.

The leaf extract
of velvet tamarind has the ability to increase gastric mucus
secretion. Therefore, a decoction of the leave can be a
remedy for gastric ulcer. The leafs are also highly diuretic-
promotes the production of urine, making it easier for the
heart to pump blood hence, reducing the risk of
hypertension.


3.Anti inflammatory and Anti microbial properties.

microbial infections. The stem bark has the ability to reduce
inflammation in bronchial tubes that arises due to
bronchitis.

4. Improves oral hygiene and cures Tooth ache.

velvet tamarind showed it to be beneficial for pile
treatment.

8.Increases Anti oxidant capacity of the body.

Oxidative damage which involves free radicals –
highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons, is
believed to be one of the mechanisms behind ageing and
many diseases. The abundance of antioxidants in the leaves

Romance / 8 Signs You Are In A Healthy Relationship by EstarKeys(f): 5:42pm On Mar 17, 2016
8 Ways to Know You're in a Healthy
Relationship

Some signs to look for

As anyone who has navigated the world of dating
well knows, romantic relationships can create some
of our greatest happiness and some of our deepest
heartache. They make us think, stress us out and
bless us abundantly.
Most of us desire to end up as part of a happy
couple one day. We want relationships that will last
and bring us real joy. And God wants that for us,
too. Therefore, it’s important for us to know what a
healthy, lasting relationship looks like. We may
need to assess the one we’re already in—or we may
want to know what to look for in the future.
Below are eight key traits of a healthy relationship
that can help create the foundation for long-term,
side-by-side growth and happiness as God
intended:

1. It Feels Stable

There is a sense of consistency to the right
relationship. This doesn’t mean it’s never hard, but
you shouldn’t feel like you’re riding a roller
coaster where amazingly happy moments are
followed by extremely awful ones.
Some people assume a relationship is good because
there are good times. But, just as good
relationships have hard times, even bad
relationships have some good times. The key is
recognizing how often the bad times come and how
severe they are.
There should also be a stability in your own thinking about the
relationship. It’s a problem if you feel like you’re wildly in love on
Monday, but on Wednesday, you feel ready to end it.

2. You Like Yourself in It

Like it or not, dating will change you. The more time you spend with
someone, the more you pick up their tendencies, speech patterns and
habits. Your partner’s personality will bring out different facets of
your own.
If you don’t like the person you become around your partner, that is
a huge red flag. On the contrary, some personalities will complement
yours and help you become a better version of yourself. This can be
challenging and hard, but in a way that feels good—like you are
growing more and more into who you want to be.
Also, in a healthy relationship, you should feel loved and respected.
While we are meant to find our self-worth in God, He also wired us
to feel good about ourselves when we are being affirmed and cared
for.

3. You Connect on the Deep Stuff

Small variations in habits, likes and personalities are usually not a
bad thing. However, as research has shown, there are some areas
couples really need to connect on in order to have a rich and lasting
relationship.
You and your partner have to be able to agree and dialogue about the
big stuff that affects your daily thinking and view of the world. This
includes faith, relationships with family and communication.
Many people get into and even stay in relationships because they fall
in love with surface stuff like affection and the fun they have
together. But these things can only take you so far. The best
relationships have depth to them, where the couple can practice faith
together and communicate meaningfully.

4. You Feel Close to God
When Adam and Eve sinned, their inclination was to hide from God.
We also tend to hide from God and others if we’re ashamed or we’re
doing something we know is wrong—even if we don’t want to face
it. How do you feel about praying for your relationship? Besides
making you feel guilt, an unhealthy relationship will likely distract
you and dampen your interest in God.
The right one, however, will help you feel closer to Him, be grateful
toward Him and even feel a greater desire for Him.

5. There’s a Mutuality
It can be easy to fall into a place of helping someone when they need
it, or relying on someone who feels like all we ever wanted. But it
isn’t healthy. It prevents us from growing or respecting ourselves,
and it doesn’t form a strong foundation for the future of the
relationship.
The healthiest relationships have a “give and take” to them where
both people help one another out relatively equally. There may be
times when one partner is struggling, but the dynamic over time
should be that of a mutual partnership, not a codependent
relationship where one person is the caretaker, and the other person
is leaning on them totally.

6. You Feel Safe
Obviously, physical safety is paramount in a relationship. But you
should also feel safe emotionally. You should feel comfortable
around someone; able to be yourself. You should be able to bring up
an issue if you’re upset and not worry that your significant other is
going to yell and storm off.
A relationship can only be successful if both people can
communicate honestly and feel safe express their hurt or fears. They
need to feel they will be supported, not judged.

7. God is First for Both of You

God made us for Himself first. There’s only so much satisfaction we
can get from another imperfect human being. The best relationships
are those where both people completely enjoy each other, yet also
recognize their personal relationships with God are immeasurably
more important. Only as we lean into Him will we have the resources
to grow and give to others.

8. Friends and Family Approve
Let’s face it: Sometimes we just don’t see what’s in front of us when
our emotions are involved—or sometimes we just don’t want to see
it. That’s where our friends and family come in. These loved ones
who know us pretty well, can often recognize if a relationship is
good or bad for us.
Of course, they don’t always agree. But be sure to listen if you have
a few friends and family members who voice concerns over red flags
in your relationship. They are concerned because they love you, so
be willing to ask for and heed their advice.

God’s Desires for Us

It’s good to keep in mind the kind of love God has in mind for us.
It’s special. It’s a mixture of a comfortable friend and a passionate
love (check out Song of Songs). It’s one that will reflect His care for
us, bring us closer to Him and to our potential.
Too often, we are tempted to settle for less than what He has
planned. Along with asking ourselves about the above signs, our best
tactic is to pray. Our thinking can only take us so far, but God can
reveal what’s really true about a situation, and if we invite Him to,
He can lead us to what is right. He loves us enough—and is powerful
enough—to bring the best relationships (romantic and otherwise)
into our lives.

Politics / Nigeria's Senate Rejects Gender Equality Bill by EstarKeys(f): 8:30pm On Mar 16, 2016
Nigerian lawmakers have rejected a gender equality bill that
is expected to have eliminated all forms of prejudice against
women.
On Tuesday, the senate voted against the Gender and Equal
Opportunity Bill on the grounds that the constitution has
already covered the rights of everyone.
Despite the bill not proceeding to a second reading, several
senators supported it stating that the gender and equality
bill was long overdue.
When passed the bill is expected to provided a platform to
fight gender discrimination in political and public life while
also prohibiting violence against women.
The sponsor of the bill, Senator Biodun Olujimi proposed
the law to speak on women’s freedom of movement, female
economic empowerment and access to education for the girl
child.

Religion / Re: What You Must Know/do Before You Get Married As A Christian Lady by EstarKeys(f): 4:07pm On Mar 13, 2016
Sanchez01:
Marriage for most people, particularly I'm Christianity is a flop. Reasons for this are largely bent on certain issues, which could come from either of the parties. For now, our focus will be on Christian ladies who have been nurturing the idea of settling down. Knowing/doing these things are necessary and if you didn't know them (say you're married), I believe it's never too late to make amends. So, here goes.

1. Discuss with your father to tell you who a man is: It is no longer a rumour that most children easily open up to their mothers than their fathers.Concerning marriage in Christianity, it is important a lady take counsel from the father on who a man is. This is one of the reasons marriage for most ladies is a flop. The best a mother could give to her daughter is her perspective on how she treated her husband, the lady's father. For example, if it happens that the father washes his clothes himself (trust me, this is real) and has been doing so for years, the mother who sees nothing wrong with it would tell her daughter to go with the flow. This is why some women feel that a man is just another woman in marriage. Far from it. Summon courage and have your father enlighten you on who a man really is.

2. You are NOT equal partners: Forget the feministic movements, most of them stem from failed homes and they think they now know better. According to the Scriptures, the woman, upon agreeing to marry the man, is agreeing to come under subjection of such man. What this means is that he is the head and has the final authority in the home (Eph 5:22-23). Unlike the dictates of the Scripture, most couples today have their own definition. They tend to think they're equal partners. This ought not to be. When you come under someone's authority, it means you obey that person totally. Don't ever delve into a union as a marriage with your own definition.

3. Husband means LORD or MASTER: I know most ladies will protest at the sight of this, but it's true. Old Norse say the word means "House Dweller or The Male Head in a house". According to the Scriptures, the first woman that birthed the word, Sarah, used it on the husband (Gen 18:12; 1Pet 3:6). You must understand that a man is the Lord of his house and those under his roof, including you. Up until now, people use the word to refer to the person they are married to without knowing what it means. Fathers understand this. Again, it explains why you must consult your father before you move in with that man you want to marry.

4. You must be willing to understand him: I will give an analogy to drive him this point; you see, a man loves the one he serves (his boss at his workplace) and the one who serves him (his wife). He fights the one that tries to be at the same level with him. When you fail to understand a man, you assume the role of that person that tries to be at the level with him. The reaction you get afterwards is that of his contenders. He fights you to learn your place because he is programmed that way. He doesn't enjoy rivalry. So, when you bring your own definition into the union, he fights it off, not because he doesn't love you but because he sees you as a threat, a rival. You think he is the one to understand you, wrong. He will understand you until you have learned to understand him.

5. Your beauty is in obedience: Irrespective of what you have possessed before marrying him, you're not beautiful until have learned the place of obedience. An obedient woman is not only considered beautiful but wise and the Scriptures confirms this in Pro 14:1. Should you fail to obey, you become a rebel and God would in no way accept your actions (1Pet 3:2).

6. You are a HELP in the union: Why did God create the woman? She was created because the man was alone (not lonely). Gen 2:18, . God had created all things save the woman. All other creatures had companion and God felt the need to provide man with a help suitable for him. Adam at the time had too many responsibilities, Just like men in this present time and God provided someone to relieve him of those things. As a lady, you must understand that you have a role to play in helping the man you have married as well as the home. I have seen homes where the woman believes she works for herself and her money is for herself and her wants. The man takes care of the family's needs. Unfortunately, their kids are above 18 already and I have heard the girls (two) on several occasions say their monies if for themselves, talk about influence. You are expected to help the family in the area he wants you to. That was why God created you in the first place.

NB: For those whose fathers may not be around (due to death or divorce/seperation). There's always a man that acts the father. Either an uncle or a married older brother, they're okay to act as a father to help she'd light on grey areas.

Happy Sunday!
I don't agree with your no 2 fully.yes men are d heads in d family,but yet wat dat bible verse is explaining is dat a man shuldnt dominate his wife.it shuld be mutual between dem.Both parties shuld be equal.yes! I know d man gives d rulesbut dat doesn't mean he shuld manover dat oprtunity

Romance / How To Make Everybody Like You by EstarKeys(f): 3:37pm On Mar 13, 2016
Yeah,everyone kant like u, but Here are 5 easy steps to make pple likeu very easily..

5.Look good
For some strange reason most people associate likeability
and attraction with physical appearances. These people
have it all wrong. While physical appearances do play a
role in likeability it is a tiny one and when you get down to
it, it is your personality and behavior that really make a
difference. But still, need to look open, honest, natural,
friendly, outgoing and clean.Be clean and have good
hygiene. Having shampooed hair, kept nails, clean teeth,
and fresh-smelling pits really makes you more appealing
to the people around you. Guys, if you choose to wear
facial hair, that doesn't mean you don't have to groom it.

4. Your body language
A half of any conversation is done through body language.
Without noticing it, other people pick up signals that you
send through your body. Remember the smile thing? Also,
when you are talking to someone do not distract on you
smartphone, or tv or anything else. Avoid the unconscious
body language that signals boredom or disinterest.
Crossing your arms at your chest tells other people that
you're bored and don't want to be talked to. This might
seem small but it makes a big difference and makes the
other person feel that you care. So for example rather
than just saying yes you should nod your head, smile, and
use the rest of your body to show your approval.

3.Ask for help
Well, we already know that people like to talk about
themselves, but there is one more thing that every person
likes and does: people LOVE giving advice. If you want
someone to like you - ask him/her for an advice. You think
it should be in reverse but it's not.This is known as the
Benjamin Franklin effect, after Franklin’s legendary
technique for turning his bitterest rivals into his closest
friends. By asking a stranger for their help – getting some
advice to settle a disagreement, wanting to know where
they got those boots, what they think about the brand of
phone they’re using – we’re asking them to do something
nice for us. Since doing nice things for people usually
means we like them, it follows that they must like us
because they’re doing us a favor.

2.Pay attention
This may sound a little weird, although it's true. People are
very interested in themselves and if you take the time to
notice they love to talk about themselves. All you have to
do is be interested in them. Be genuinely interested in the
other person, and for those few minutes make them the
only attention in your life. This doesn't mean you shouldn't
take part in a conversation - ask questions, show some
interest, no one likes to talk to a plant.

1.Smile
What does the smile mean? It means that you are happy. If
you're saying "hi" to someone with a big, sinciere smile on
your face - this person fairly thinks that you're happy to
see him/her. Smile is a message of pleasure and
happiness you are sending to everyone including yourself.
And tell me: have you ever seen a forever-grumpy person
that everyone liked? I don't think so!Positivity and
happiness are universally attractive and liked. A simple
smile to one of your co-workers can make his/her day. So
don't underestimate this powerful weapon.
Why not add yours?

Career / Purpose by EstarKeys(f): 9:37am On Mar 11, 2016
I created this work and i jux felt like sharing this piece with us.jux read with ease,thanks!

This life jux goes in circles,and circles. we all know what a
circle looks like.u jux tend to move round and round and
round without a prominent end. Life isn't jux about working
so hard. It isn't jux about aiming for the best,because the worst
will always come. No matter how perfect ur life maybe
presently,U don't have evrything. YES! Nobody has
everything. We jux strive to get what we need,and it doesn't
always come.

Almost every individual wants to study a proffesional
course,we all want to be regarded in a "BIG" way,but dats
not wat life is all about. Some of us are pushed into doing
what we do not enjoy doing all because of pressure with
peer groups and family members. Life is all about PURPOSE.
Discover your purpose and ur life will radiate to the core.
YOu don't shine where someone else shines.

Being different is a spectacular strategy to getting to the
greatest heights in life. What makes you unique amongst ur
friends? What is that something your known for? Why not
work hard towards it than push it aside and clinging tight to
ur academics? See, u go to school to get a certificate,and u
know wat? A certificate is a mere piece of paper bearing ur
name nd ur acquisation in ur past years in school though it
fetches you a great deal,buh most times,it aint enough. You
live an average life with it.

Do not be dismayed about your present situation now. your
friends might be studying a lucrative course now,and your
still bent on getting an admission. Do not worry,your case is
different. "Its not about howfar you've gone in life,but how
well".

The greatest men and women we have known so far are
those that went through the most painful experiences in life.
They were those dat were being looked down upon. They
were those dat made the least grades in school. Don't mind
wat pple say about you,because "those dat mind don't matter
and dos dat matter don't mind.

Why don't we discover our purpose. The world will be a
better place instead of dwelling on the acient era. Things
have changed. You can change your priorities today. No
time is late.

I will leave you with a question.."WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?...#E.starkeyz#

BEFORE YOU DATE SOMEONE.
...Spur one another on toward love and good deeds.(Hebrews 10:24) NIV.
Here's some advice for makin ur dating experiences something u can feel good about afterwards.Not everyone is meant for us.Dating isn't jux a childs play,its a serious thing,its like a covenant,buh pple misuse it in the wrong way. I know no beta,but I created this lil piece myself to lead dat someone reading dis,deris always someone.and more of my piece are yet to come in my next episode.tnk u.

1. BE SPIRITUALLY PREPARED.
Talk to God while u are geting ready.Time spent before the mirror is important but time spent with God,is all important.This is neva more much to do when ur looking for dat someone to spend ur lyftym with.Its a great step to take.

2.TALK OPENELY ABOUT SEX BEFORE IT BECOMES AN ISSUE:
U gotta talk about this in the positve way.physical intimacy is a wonderful thing,but the Bible confines it to marriage where two pple are committed to one another.So think protectively and proactively.Genuine love doesn't say "if u loved me u would"... It says "I love you too much to take advantage of u or cause u pain or ask u to do something u feel is wrong and dat you will feel bad about tomorrow"..(Ist corinthians 13)

3.LIMIT THE TIMES YOU ARE ALONE.
A second alone is enuf to ruin ones destiny,it doesn't takea life tym.It can easily lead to things you will regret leta.When ur friends start saying they neva see u any more, chances are dat u are becomin too exclusive and setting yourself up to failure.Don't alwaz date as a couple,spend time in the company of others too.It even helps to boost ur relationships with pple out there.Dnt live together.you re not married yet.

4.DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME.
If you have been permissive in past relationships, don't be discouraged. "If we confess our sins,he is faithful nd just to forgive" . That means u kan start again with a clean slate. No tym is late.no time is erly eida.there is no end to anything except DEATH.

Av lernt dat de strongest relationships alwaz put God at de center.They strive to demonstrate de kinda love paul describes in 1st cornth 13.LETS MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY....tanks for reading!!! Estarkeyz!

Food / The Secret Behind Storing Yams So It Doesn't Grow Moulds by EstarKeys(f): 1:44am On Dec 12, 2015
How To Store Cut Yam So It Doesn’t Grow Moulds.

“howdo I properly store a cut yam?”, “how can I storeyam after I cut it without spoiling?”.

We are goingto talk about this topic today in order to addresstheir questions. Often we buy large tubers of Yamand need to only cook a small portion of it when weneed to eat. So, what are you going to do with theremaining tuber? If you leave it that way, it growsmould and gets spoiled or turns brown and hardthat you have to peel it off.

When the questions came, I though this shouldnot be a problem for anyone because there is away I saw mum do it while growing up and itworked every time.

So, I took some time out andspoke to different people, asking them how theypreserve their cut yam tuber. I got a lot ofinteresting answers and I will address the mostshocking one first.Someone told me she just leaves the yam thatway and cut off the spoiled part when next sheneeds to cook the yam.

Well, I would say that isnot proper and safe for the following reasons;Why waste that part of yam that you cut away?You could save that yam by preserving it properly.When your yam grows mould and you cut thecontaminated part away, do you think theremaining part of the tuber is safe?You know why this is wasteful and unsafe? Mouldis a fungi and when they grow on foods, fungibreak the food down and make us of it. They growtheir HYPHAE (the part that looks likemicroscopic roots) into the dissolved food. So,when you cut off the mould growth on the surface, you could still have the hyphae left in theremaining yam.

The root is as unsafe as dangerousas the growth, sometimes more dangerous. Don’tcauseFood Poisoning for yourself.

:: Tip For Preserving Cut Yam ToPrevent Mould Growth…So how can you store your cut yam?Here are some of the tips I have used and othersthat I got from people I spoke to;
Tip.Number 1
: One of our respondents, supportedby some others said “I cut the quantity of yam Ineed and just put the rest back in the fridge”. Ithink this makes sense because these organismsneed elevated temperature to grow, thereforestoring them at low temperature like that in therefrigerator inhibits their growth. Tip Number 2:

“Cut the piece you need andimmediately put the other end in a small bowl with2 centimeters water.” I tried this before and itworked, but I did not store it for more than twodays. If you have ever tried it for a longer period,let us know. This probably prevents the exposedpart from atmospheric oxygen, which aids thegrowth of the spoilage organisms. .NEXT [3] ::

Tips Number 3 and Number 4…Tip Number 3: Growing up, I applied palm oil on thesurface of the Yam that I have left and it workedfine. Tip Number 4:

A reader of FoodsNG alsorecommended this, “rub the exposed, cut, rawflesh with lemon juice, it cuts down on thebrowning and prevent mould growth”.

I want you guys to know we are both students, tho he is now awaiting service. We have been together for over 3yrs smiley I started dating him since I was in 100L now am in 500L.
The problem is he keeps asking me for money when he knows fully well that I depend on my pocket money, am not stingy towards him so each time he asks I have no choice than to give him.
I started saving from my money last year for future purposes due to the high rate of unemployment, I was able to save 40k but he asked me to borrow him 10k which I did. He didn't return the money but asked for another, to cut it short I dunno how 40k dissappeared.
Each time he says 'babe pls borrow me...I will return it back' i just zero my mind and give him cos I know he won't return it.
I know by God's grace he will see a job as soon as he is done with service. I have saved 25k again this new semester and he is asking for 2k sad it's not as if the money is huge but am scared that the money will vanish just like the 40k.
I know I shouldn't be asking this here but it's making me feel like a stingy person, my question now is
1) do you think am stingy?
2) is it realistic to start saving even as an undergraduate?
3) is he using me for my money?
Tnks. No Insults pls kiss
he neva loved you
