Politics / Prophecy Was Made That I Will Be Vice President – Osinbajo by expressglory: 3:18pm On Oct 10, 2015 |
Osinbajo made the call on Friday night at the Pan African Gathering Conference for 2015 of House of Revival Church, Brakpan, South Africa. He said that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was profound because He was crucified for the sins of the world. According to Osinbajo, the prophetic gathering was special because God works in a miraculous way. “ This prophetic gathering is very special indeed. One of the reasons why it is special is because it just shows you God works. God doesn’t look at size, he doesn’t look at anything fancy, he just does it in accordance with His grace and mercy. “ I was sitting here in 2013 when a prophecy was made that I will be vice president of Nigeria and I didn’t take it seriously,“ he said. Osinbajo, who said the prophecy had shown that God works in an incredible way, added that the head of the church at the end of March 2015 predicted that there would be a mighty honour for him. The vice president prayed that God should bless that gathering and answer their prayers. “I want us to bear in mind that what makes Jesus Christ special and what makes that sacrifice special is because Christ is so life transforming and Christ is God almighty,“ he said. The General Overseer of the House of Revival Church, Pastor Daniel Awusanya, said he was linked with Nigeria 16 years ago when he worked with Osinbajo at the Redeemed Christian Church of God. He said God was building a new Africa and would make it a unique continent. “ God said he will build a new Nigeria, a Nigeria of honour. This government will be one of the best in Africa, with honour and integrity,“ he said. Awusanya prayed God to give Osinbajo divine wisdom to contribute to the building of a new Nigeria. The President of Nigeria Union in South Africa, Mr Ikechukwu Anyene, and some executive members attended the service.

Health / Differentiating Between Typhoid And Malaria Fever by expressglory: 5:33am On Oct 10, 2015 |
Malaria and typhoid are two different diseases but sometime physicians are unable to diagnose them properly due to similarity in certain sign and symptoms. Difference in Causative Agent: Typhoid fever is caused by a gram negative bacteria named as salmonella typhi whereas malaria is a protozoal disease occur due to different species of Plasmodium such as P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae.However, there is one common factor between the two. Salmonella typhi is known to breed in dirty water which can also become ideal conditions for the breeding of mosquitoes . Difference in transmission Typhoid bacteria are usually contracted through food or water that have been contaminated with faeces or urine. Anyone who eats any food or drink any water that had any contact with typhoid-bearing stool or urine could contact typhoid fever. Flies, which settle on typhoid-bearing faeces or urine, do in most instances, settle on exposed food or water. Malaria is contracted by mosquitoe bites. Difference in Symptoms: The symptoms of both typhoid and malaria differ considerably. For example in the case of malaria patient can experience nausea, vomiting, chills, fevers and diarrhea sometime but symptoms of typhoid are different in different stages. Mainly there are four stages of typhoid. Single stage comprises of seven days. During the first stage patient can suffer high fever and persists for weeks (fever does not respond to antimalarials), abdominal pain,severe headache, bradicardia, cough and tiredness. In the second stage, fever, reduced heart rate, diarrhea or constipation, confusional state and rose spots on trunk occur. In the third stage patient may have some complications and the last stage is the stage of recovery. Differential diagnosis Of Typhoid The group of symptoms which most clearly suggests the diagnosis of typhoid fever is: Gradually increasing fever with evening exacerbation and morning remission. General malaise with headache. Furred tongue with red edges and tip. Epistaxis. Relatively slow pulse (possibly dicrotic). Abdominal distension with increased bowel sounds. Tenderness in the right iliac fossa on firm pressure. A roseolar eruption confined principally to the abdomen and chest. Splenomegaly. Bronchial catarrh. Difference In Complication In Typhoid Typhoid complications include Intestinal perforation with peritonitis (rapidly fatal, refer urgently to a surgeon) - presents as severe abdominal pain, tenderness, rebound tenderness and guarding.Acute psychosis (never refer any patient with fever and psychosis to the psychiatric hospital).Some specific complications of malaria are renal impairment, retinopathy, cerebral malaria, convulsions, coma and death. Difference Diagnostic Tests: Different tests are being performed to diagnose both malaria and typhoid but it is easier to diagnose malaria in comparison to typhoid. For typhoid following tests are recommended Widal test Typhidot test Bone marrow test Stool test For malaria following types tests are being done; Complete blood count (CBC) Malarial Parasite (MP) test Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) based upon the microscopic evaluation of causative agent. Difference in Standard/Conventional Treatment: For the treatment of malaria different types of anti-malarial drugs ( amodiaquine, lumefantrine, mefloquine or sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine) are used but for typhoid treatment, antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin and olfloxacin are commonly prescribed. Herbal Treatment Of Malaria And Typhoid Lemon Grass In Malaria:For treating malaria, a cup of boiling water is usually poured over lemon grass to make an fusion. It is then allowed to stand for about five minutes before it is strained and drank. Lemon Grass In Typhoid:To treat typhoid, it is recommended that lemon grass leaf be boiled in water for about half an hour with whole lime, grape fruits, unripe pawpaw fruits, unripe pineapples, cut garlic and bark of Alstonia bonnei (awun in Yoruba; cheesewood/pattern wood in English). ...Of course there are many other alternative herbal treatments for both typhoid and malaria fever Source:http://freeherbs..com.ng/2015/10/differentiating-between-typhoid-and.html 1 Like |

Politics / How Jonathan & Justice Adoke Stole $3b CrudeOil,Few Days Before Leaving Office by expressglory: 11:49pm On Sep 04, 2015 |
A few days before the end of his tenure, former President Goodluck Jonathan and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Mohammed Bello Adoke, connived to award more than $3 billion in crude oil to a Chinese oil company linked to a controversial businessman, Emeka Offor. The highly questionable deal was consummated through a judgment handed down by a High Court judge who was also in on the deal, according to a source close to the deal. In December 2014, Addax Petroleum Development (Nigeria) Limited and Addax Petroleum Exploration (Nigeria) Limited, sued the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) seeking a huge financial award in what the company described as miscalculation of oil royalty and taxes, and breach of their 1998 “production sharing” contract with the NNPC in respect of certain oil fields. The contract covered oil-prospecting licenses (OPL) 98/118 (now Oil Mining Leases 123, 124, 136 and 137). In an extensive interview with our correspondent, the source claimed that Addax’s lawsuit was at the urging of Mr. Adoke, who should have been protecting the Nigerian public’s interest. In a letter dated April 2, 2015, Mr. Adoke proposed that President Jonathan approve an out-of-court settlement of the lawsuit, tagged FJC/ABJ/CS/1099/2014 and filed on December 23, 2014. In the letter to President Jonathan, the then Attorney General and Minister of Justice also indicated that he was attaching a letter dated the same day from the legal department of the NNPC. Mr. Adoke’s letter was fast-tracked in a manner that two legal authorities separately described as “highly unusual” and “unseemly.” On May 25, a mere four days before the end of President Jonathan’s tenure, a Federal High Court judge in Abuja had concluded the terms of the out-of-court settlement. The judge’s “judgment order” excluded the office of the AGF because Mr. Adoke did not send any lawyers to represent the government at the final judgment. “It’s highly curious that the ‘judgment order” did not list the AGF’s office as a defendant in the lawsuit. Yet, the AGF [Adoke] was the person generating a legal memo to the president [Jonathan] for an out-of-court settlement,” said an Abuja-based lawyer after reviewing the case. Nonetheless, the judge read out the terms of the agreement and gave an order sealing it, but his judgment order did not include the hidden cost of the judgment. This act of judicial concealment has baffled the lawyers who looked at the document. SaharaReporters obtained a copy of the hidden terms of agreement that puts the total value of NNPC’s indebtedness to Addax at more than $3 billion—specifically, a whopping $3,491,588,729.64. The judgment debt would be paid to Addax via crude oil lifting that could last for numerous years, an NNPC source disclosed. Addax Petroleum has claimed that a letter signed by Funsho Kupolokun, who was adviser to former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Petroleum, gave the company the right to a production-sharing contract relating to the oil fields named in their original lawsuit. Addax also claimed that, because of that letter from the presidential adviser, his company spent about $3 billion on the development of the oil fields. One of the lawyers who reviewed the case for SaharaReporters wondered why it took Addax no earlier than 2014 before they sued the Federal Government for the alleged breach of contract. Contacted by SaharaReporters to disclose Mr. Offor’s full involvement in the judgement scam, his representatives expressed preference for communication by email. Hours after we complied, Edwin Ndukwe of the Communications Department of Offor’s Chrome Group sent a response in which he denied that Mr. Offor was the 'outlet' through which Addax facilitated the settlement. “Sir Emeka had absolutely no hand or control in the proceedings of the court, which led to the outcome you inferred,” he said. “He is not a shareholder and he did not enter into any agreement to influence or sponsor the outcome of the court's decision. Addax Petroleum is gigantic enough to weigh in by itself on any judicial matters bothering on their business conduct in Nigeria.” He asserted that the Addax/Kaztec business to business relationship began in 2010 when Kaztec was awarded the TB 1921 contract for the installation of subsea pipeline and topsides in OML 123. “Since then, the relationship grew between the two as evident in the project being duly completed. Kaztec is a wholly 100% owned indigenous EPIC service provider in the oil & gas industry. It has performed very well over the years and have received numerous commendations for their technical competence and their ability to deliver on projects timeously and at significantly reduced cost from not just Addax but other firms.” We also reached out to NNPC spokesperson, Ohi Alegebe to ask how the NNPC intends to pay the debt as stipulated in the final judgement. He said he needed to reach the Legal Department of the NNPC to find out the details, but did not get back to us at the time of publishing this story. For their part, Addax offices in Abuja told our reporters that all of the company communication personnel were tied up in a training which involved the Managing Director, Mr. Cor Zegelaar, and cannot respond to our inquiries until next week. In a recent interview with Premium Times, former President Obasanjo openly accused Mr. Offor of scamming Nigeria out of billions of dollars in the so-called turn-around maintenance of refineries, calling him an ‘amateur’ who knew nothing about maintaining a refinery. He stated that Mr. Offor had infiltrated the police and anti-corruption agencies and NNPC officials to facilitate his scams. “[We met] refineries that were not working, refineries that were given to an amateur for repairs, for maintenance, what they call turn-around maintenance, to the company of Emeka Offor – Chrome Group,” he said of his government. “Where has Emeka Offor maintained refineries before? Where has he? That’s what we met. So the refineries were not working.” Reminded by his interviewers that despite that discovery he did not recover any money from Mr. Offor, the former President replied: “What can you recover? A man who was paid upfront? He had people. He got some police…people were there. And like they have said to you now, look, if it works for a week, that’s all you get. And Emeka Offor, after I left he became friends with every government that has come. Now he’s not only into refinery and oil and all that, he’s now also in energy!” Source:http://saharareporters.com/2015/09/03/how-president-jonathan-agf-adoke-awarded-chinese-oil-company-linked-emeka-offor-3b

Health / Many Reasons Why You Should Run Away From Sugar If You Want To Live Long by expressglory: 4:25pm On Aug 06, 2015 |
Sugar is a dangerous poison. Yet it is consumed by almost everyone, on a daily basis, and it does horrible things within the body. It is also something God never intended our physical bodies to have to contend with. The only sugars God designed our physical bodies to ever have to deal with were the natural sugars found in the LIVING, raw fruits and vegetables that He created and placed in the Garden! Are you aware that a hundred years ago, the average annual intake of refined sugar was approximately 5 pounds per person per year? Today, the average annual intake of refined sugar is around 170 pounds per person per year. That means that if a person is consuming that:, he or she is placing over 50 teaspoons of refined sugar into their physical bodies each and every day of their life. Thus, a person who lives to the age of 70 will have placed into their body, during their lifetime, some 12,000 pounds of refined sugar. Let's take a look at what all that sugar is doing within our beautiful, God designed, physical bodies (1) Refined Sugar Is A Dead Food Sugar originated in a living plant, which contained its complete complement of enzymes, but, by the time it reaches the refined sugar stage, all LIFE has been destroyed, and it has become a DEAD food. Let's look for a moment at what processors do with the original sugar cane or beet as they turn the living sugars found in the plant, into a refined, DEAD, product. The following information was taken from a newsletter written by Charlotte Gerson: "Sugar is a basic element in starchy food; however, processed sugar is a completely different matter. The sugar we purchase in the supermarket for personal consumption is processed sugar. This kind of sugar is heated up in chalk-milk, so that calcium and protein are extracted. After the process, it becomes alkaloid, destroying all vitamin content. In the second phase, the sugar is mixed with acid chalk, carbonic gas, sulfur dioxide, and finally with Natrium® sodium bicarbonate. The mixture is cooked and cooled off several times and thereafter crystallized and centrifuged. The dead mass is then treated with strontium hydroxide. Subsequently it arrives at the refinery where it is passed over chalk carbon acid to clean it. Dark coloring is removed by adding sulfuric acid and then it is filtered with bone charcoal. Finally, it is colored with Indathrenblue or the highly toxic Ultramarine. This product's chemical composition is C12H22O11, which you can buy in shops as 'pure cane' sugar." (2) Refined Sugar Contains No Fiber Another important thing to understand about refined sugar is that, just like we saw with foods of animal origin, sugar is devoid of all fiber. Let's remember here that God designed our bodies to move food through a very extensive digestive tract through means of fiber, and foods containing no fiber create problems. (3) Refined Sugar Is Fragmented Through heating and mechanical and chemical processing, all vitamins, proteins, fats, enzymes – indeed, every single nutrient is removed until nothing but pure white sugar, pure 'naked calories,' pure refined carbohydrate remains. Sixty-four food elements are destroyed in the processing. Fragmented foods set up nutritional imbalances that precipitate health problems galore. (4) Refined Sugar Is Highly Acidic Like animal source foods, refined sugar is also 'acid forming.' This means that the body must take vital alkaline minerals, calcium being the most plentiful, from the body's cells to metabolize refined sugar. This high sugar use, along with the consumption of animal products, causes the body to take so much calcium from our bones and teeth that the bones become osteoporotic and the teeth decay. (5) Refined Sugar Creates Blood Sugar Disorders One pound of apples contains 263 calories, whereas, one pound of candy has 1800 calories. Refined sugar in junk foods is concentrated far beyond what the human body was designed by God to ever have to process at one time. Thus, somehow the body has to deal with this incredibly large amount of sugar if it is going to survive. The body does deal with it, but in doing so, it often results in physical problems called DIABETES and HYPOGLYCEMIA. DIABETES -The primary cause of diabetes is the fat contained in animal products, but also, when a diabetic consumes refined sugar, the pancreas has difficulty producing adequate insulin when the blood sugar rises. Concentrated amounts of sugar cause a rapid rise in blood sugar. Chronic intake of sugar eventually exhausts the pancreas as it tries to compensate. Thus, the diabetic is condemned to having to take ever-increasing amounts of insulin to compensate. Diabetes is the 'Number Three Killer Disease," in America, preceded only by cardiovascular related diseases and cancer. HYPOGLYCEMIA [/b][i][/i]- is the flip side of diabetes. Hypoglycemia occurs when the body still has a fairly strong pancreas. The body overreacts to a concentrated sugar intake and releases too much insulin from the pancreas. Blood sugar levels then plummet far below the normal, stable level. The suffering Hypoglycemic often experiences fatigue, headaches, mental depression, and irritability. Hypoglycemics often deal with symptoms by taking in more refined sugar, catching them in an endless cycle that causes the pancreas to wear out from the constant over stimulation. This often results in Diabetes because now the sufferer cannot produce sufficient insulin for normal metabolic activities. (6) Refined Sugar Promotes Emotional Instability After a "sugarholic" has consumed a box of candy or bag of cookies or any large amount of refined sugar, they know how self-abused and depressed they feel. Sadly, studies reveal a strong link between juvenile and adult criminal offenses and sugar addiction. Similar research reveals a link between mental illness and sugar abuse. And hypoglycemic reactions, for the very sensitive consumer, promote extreme irrationality, emotional instability, and oftentimes aggressiveness. Recent studies are revealing that sugar may be as involved in mental illness, divorce, and crime as alcohol has been found to be. Depression is also one of the most rapidly growing problems in our society today, and refined sugar is one of the major contributing factors! ADD and ADHD are running rampant among our children and even some adults! It is a problem doctors are trying to treat with drugs such as Ritalin. Isn't it a sad commentary, that these emotional problems, that were caused by the very toxic and poisonous addictive drug, refined sugar, are then treated with another poison, a doctor prescribed drug! How sad! You mothers who are having a problem with your child's behavior might consider removing all sugar from his or her diet. (7) Refined Sugar Contributes To Heart Disease Fat is not the only contributing factor in heart disease. Large amounts of refined sugar cause the insulin in the body to convert blood glucose (sugar) into fatty acids and triglycerides. Those on a high-sugar diet show significantly higher levels of fat in their blood than those who eat no refined sugar. This high fat content in the blood is directly related to the development of plaque build-up within the arteries and ultimately to hardening of the arteries. Apart from this Magnesium is a necessary ingredient that helps our cardiac functioning.Meanwhile sugar deplete your body of magnesium. In fact for ever molecule if Sugar it takes Fifty Four Molecules of Magnesium to process it! ( Refined Sugar Leads To Addiction And Weight Gain ...... The Following is just a partial list of other health problems related to the intake of refined sugar: acne, addiction to drugs and caffeine, alcoholism, allergies, anxiety, behavior problems, binge eating, bloating, bone loss, Candidiasis, depression, difficulty concentrating, eczema, edema, emotional problems, fatigue, food cravings, hormonal problems, hyperactivity, insomnia, menstrual difficulties, mental illness, mood swings, premature aging, psoriasis, .. To summarize, refined sugar, and products made with refined sugar, are the second most prevalent cause, or contributing cause, of the physical problems being experienced today. Refined sugar products are all DEAD and FIBERLESS and, are the second most popular of the KILLER foods of our day after animal source foods. Do you want to stay healthy and live long then quit refined sugar! Good luck! Source:http://strangenews101..com/2015/08/ten-solid-reasons-why-you-should-run.html 1 Share

Business / Unbelievable:apple Buys Nigerian Born Chinedu Echeruo's Website For $1 Billion by expressglory: 7:54pm On May 21, 2015 |
Apple has acquired Chinedu Echeruo’s HopStop.com, The Wall Street Journal’s publication, AllThingsDigital reports. Founded in 2005, HopStop.com makes mobile applications for both iOS and Android that covers over 300 cities and that helps people get directions or find nearby subway stations and bus stops. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed as at the time of this publication. Chinedu Echeruo, formerly an analyst at investment banks and hedge funds founded HopStop in 2005. Echeruo is now Chairman of the Board for HopStop. HopStop has oft been compared to Israel’s Waze which was recently acquired by Google for $1 billion. The move is seen as Apple’s plan to bolster its map offering especially given Google’s recent acquisition of Waze. A serial entrepreneur, Chinedu Echeruo grew up in Eastern Nigeria and attended Kings College, Lagos. He attended Syracuse University and the Harvard Business School in the United States and founded HopStop.com after working for several years in the Mergers & Acquisitions and Leveraged Finance groups of J.P Morgan Chase where he was involved in a broad range of M&A, Financing and Private Equity transactions. He also worked at AM Investment Partners, a $500 million volatility-driven convertible bond arbitrage hedge fund. He founded and raised nearly $8 million for his two U.S based internet companies; Hopstop.com andTripology.com. Tripology.com was acquired in 2010 by American travel and navigation information company, Rand McNally. He was named Black Enterprise Magazine’s Small Business Innovator of the year and listed in the magazine’s Top 40 under 40 and is currently a partner and head of the Principal Investing group at Constant Capital, a West Africa based investment bank. True to form, Echeruo is working on yet another venture but this time, focused on small businesses in Africa. Check out a video of Chinedu Echeruo below at last year’s TedxIkoyi where he talks about his latest project for small businesses in Africa; “crowd sourced business in a box.” According to him: “There is no reason why every entrepreneur should have to reinvent the wheel every single time in all the countries in Africa. My idea is to essentially to have one place where a budding entrepreneur can access a template for starting a business, and then customize it to suit their own situation. Essentially a business-in-a-box.” http://www.informationng.com/2015/05/apple-inc-buys-nigerian-born-chinedu-echeruos-hopstop-com-for-1-billion.html 1 Share
