HealthHealth Effects Of Seasoning Cubes You Should Know by freeman131(op): 8:29am On Jun 29, 2021
Everyone is familiar with seasoning cubes. Hardly a dish is cooked these days without adding a seasoning cube or two. It adds great flavour to whatever it is added to, improving the taste and aroma. In the market, there are so many brands in the business of stock cubes. While they all taste almost the same, everyone has a brand or two that they take as their favourites. These seasoning cubes even come in different flavours, such as soup, stew, crayfish, chicken, and so on, meant to reflect the dishes they should be used for or the type of flavour they carry. These seasoning cubes have replaced our traditional seasoners and some even use them in place of salt.

People use these seasoning cubes without wondering the effects it may have on their health. It is no doubt that it changes the taste of food but long-term or excessive use of these cubes could have some effect on your body. A good way to understand this is to examine the ingredient of your average seasoning cubes.

Ingredients of seasoning cubes

An average seasoning cube would contain the following; salt, monosodium glutamate (MSG), sugar, hydrogenated palm oil, cornstarch, dehydrated beef or fish (depending on the flavour), caramel color, natural flavor, disodium inosinate, spices, turmeric, TBHQ (preservative). Maggi cubes are the most popular type of food seasoning in Nigeria. A maggi cube contains high amount of sodium, and MSG.


As you can see, there is almost nothing natural here as everything has been processed in one form or the other and it is not advised that you eat too much processed food because it contains chemicals and additives your body may not agree with in the long term.


But the major concern here is the salt content. Some seasoning cubes contain as much as 2.50 grams of salt, accounting for more than 40% of the whole cube. To fully understand the danger here, an average adult should not consume more than 5grams of salt per day. So by the time you use two seasoning cubes, you have already satisfied your body with all the salt it needs for one day. The reality, however, is that most people do not stop at one cube. Some people might use 3 to 4 cubes at a go. Some might even cook twice a day, using 3 cubes on both occasions, flooding their system with salt. But that is not the only hazard.

Many people are in the habit of adding salt after loading their pot with two or more seasoning cubes. While some do it out of ignorance, there are those who still add salt because they do not believe that the seasoning cube would provide all the salt that they need. Excess salt consumption could lead to high blood pressure and kidney problems.

Additionally, seasoning cubes are high in sodium and taking excess amount of sodium is linked to high blood pressure. It can also lead to heart disease, stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease.

They are also made up of hydrogenated oils. Hydrogenated oils are once-healthy oils which have been processed into unhealthy trans fatty acids. Hydrogenated vegetable oil will undergo processing to enhance its taste, texture, and shelf life. This process forms trans fats, which are not good for your health. They have been shown to increase LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol, and decrease HDL, or “good,” cholesterol.

Seasoning cubes also contain monosodium glutamate (MSG). while they are varying opinions on the exact effect of MSG on the body, its intake should be controlled. It’s not advisable to take a lot of something that’s not natural into your body. Some studies have shown that some of the toxic effects of MSG include obesity, cancer, numbness, asthma, erectile dysfunctions and so on.

Sugar is also present in seasoning cubes. Although it occurs in very small quantities, using more cubes could increase the amount of sugar in your food. So if you are someone who is cutting down on their sugar intake, you should see that you reduce the number of stock cubes you use.

What You Can Do To Curb The Health Effects of Seasoning Cubes?

If you must keep using seasoning cubes, then you have to make moderation a virtue. You can settle for two cubes at most, per day. Also, try to avoid eating fast foods as much as you can. Foods there are prepared with all sorts of condiments, most of them processed and with too much salt.

Rather than use seasoning cubes, you can make use of other spices like garlic, ginger, curry leaves, turmeric, and so on. But you can never go wrong by using salt alone. If you want something more, you can decide to go traditional by using healthy Nigerian spices like locust beans (iru), ogiri, dawa dawa, crayfish, and onions.

HealthUCTH Medical Interns Protest 7 Months Unpaid Salaries by freeman131(op): 7:31pm On May 27, 2021
Again Medical Interns comprising optometric doctors, medical lab scientists, pharmacists, dental therapists, radiologists amongst others on Tuesday disrupted activities at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, UCTH, over their 7 months unpaid Salaries.

The Medical Interns numbering over 150 barricaded the gate of the hospital to demand their seven months salaries which according to them was no longer acceptable due to what they described as insincerity of the management.

The protesters, who carried placards with various inscriptions including ” where is the 66 million naira ?”, ” we are dying of hunger “, ” we can no longer buy sanitary pads”, “Our landlords are on our necks, pay us our Seven months salaries”, “we cannot even see where to borrow again”, “a hungry clinician can make a wrong diagnosis, please pay us so we don’t endanger our patients” while they chanted solidarity songs.

The interns are trained medical professionals in various fields who undertake another one year of practical training before they are qualified to take up full employment.

Findings by Vanguard showed that they were paid a monthly salary ranging between N120, 000 and N150, 000 depending on their areas of speciality amongst other factors.

Speaking with Vanguard at the hospital gate, the medical interns and house officers lamented that they have worked for seven months without pay, but disclosed that the management rather pays them 16,500 while some get about 17,750 monthly as allowance.


Some of them told Vanguard that the CMD disclosed to them that the hospital received 66 Million naira to offset their unpaid salaries but were later told that the Said money( 66 million naira) was paid into a “wrong account”.

“Our counterparts in other teaching hospitals in neighbouring states have all received more than 80% of what they were owed but here in Calabar, nothing is forthcoming, while we were told that 66 million naira was released by the Federal Government on Monday the 17th of May.

“Every worker deserves his or her wages to enable him or her leave a comfortable life while discharging his or her respective duties just like their colleagues in other federal teaching hospitals.”

When contacted, the Chief Medical Director of UCTH, Prof. Ikpeme Ikpeme, said that the issue of non-payment of their salary was not limited to UCTH interns alone.

“The issue of non-payment of the stipend is not limited to UCTH alone. This is a national issue and we have written to the federal government to pay them.

“We are hoping to get a favourable response from the federal government as regard their payment; once the money is released to us, we will pay them accordingly,” he said.

However, Vanguard findings showed that Salaries of interns, House officers and contract staff known as none regular staff are paid through Government integrated Financial Management Information system( GIFMIS ) and house officers are paid centrally.

Moreso payment for interns and Contract Staff in contracts staff is budgeted for and through the GIFMIS platform controlled by the institution.

When contacted on Thursday, Eluomuno Afam Edward told Vanguard that up till now the leadership of the institution have not addressed them again apart from the little clarification given by the CMD at the gate yesterday.

He said: ” Contrary to rumours that we had a meeting with management yesterday, we did nothing to the best of my knowledge apart from the address that the CMD made during the protest at the gate.

“The assertion that the challenge was a national one is not totally true, because our counterpart in other Institution’s across the country have gotten more than 50 % payment, but our case is peculiar, today we hear IPPIS another day we hear something else.

“We are appealing to President Buhari to help us, we are dying of hunger, and it is becoming unbearable, the minister of health and Finance should look into our matter,” he said.

PoliticsPopular Catholic Priest, Father Mbaka Withdraws Support For Buhari by freeman131(op): 2:14pm On Apr 29, 2021
Fiery Catholic Priest and Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Father Ejike Mbaka has withdrawn his support for President Muhammadu Buhari, saying he had failed abysmally to justify Nigerians’ confidence 8nnhis leadership to deal with insecurity in the country.

Mbaka, who supported Buhari in his presidential bid, pointedly asked the President to either resign now or be impeached.

He spoke at the Adoration Ministry in Enugu as captured in a video footage doing the round in the social media.

He said he could not understand how Buhari would maintain grave silence despite the incessant killings in the country.

According to him, Nigerians were crying because they did not have a Sheperd.

He also warned those who would attack him to desist, if not, they would face God’s wrath.

Read him: “Let me tell you; if it is in a civilized country, by now, President Buhari would have resigned with what is happening.

“Nigerians are crying because there’s no security in the country; the House of Representatives (National Assembly) should impeach the president if he doesn’t want to resign.

Mbaka warned the lawmakers that should they fail to impeach the president and begin to attack him, something worse than what they could ever imagine ”will happen to the members of the Senate and House of Representatives.”

Mbaka said the nation could not continue like this and prayed to God to change its leaders.

He worried at the activities of herdsmen that destroyed the farmland of people without any repercussion.

He warned church leaders and Nigerians not to come after him because he previously supported Buhari.

According to him: ”A good coach cannot watch his players to be defeated when he has players sitting down on the bench. It is either Buhari resigns by himself or he will be impeached.

”This statement is too mysterious and supernatural, I know many people will begin to fight it, saying did you not pray for Buhari? Did Samuel not anoint Saul? Am I the creator of Buhari? God created him, Nigerians supported him because he did well sometime. But now, how can people be dying and the chief security officer of the country will be sitting down without making any comment? Gunmen attacking people everywhere.

“I pray that the church leadership will understand me as a messenger of God and not begin to attack me because the danger is going to affect the church.

“When gunmen begin to strike inside the church, they will begin to kill one man of God or the other or even members of the church. Who will go to church again? The priests will lose their job, the Bishops will lose their jobs. So you better keep quiet or support what I’m saying.

Religious leaders have been among the tools used in fuelling crisis to deliberately undermine the peaceful co-existence in Nigeria.


These religious bigots mislead and brainwash their followers either for political or selfish reasons. They allow emotions to take over their thinking, turn their followers against non-Muslims.

Boko Haram launched their jihadist group against Western education, which escalated into religious violence while thousands of lives were lost and people’s properties destroyed.

On several occasions, Boko Haram terrorists have taken over some local government areas and mounted their flags with the principal aim of establishing an Islamic state in the Northern region of Nigeria.

This deadly group started detonating bombs in targeted churches as part of their plans to make Nigeria an Islamic state. As a result of this disastrous act, they massively expanded their tentacles by using words of ‘jihad’ to lure minors into their evil agenda in exchange for peanuts.


Buhari Olanrewaju Ahmed
Boko Haram terrorists have killed, raped, maimed, looted and rendered thousands of people homeless. Unfortunately some of these extremists seen as terrorists sympathisers see nothing wrong with the killings by Boko Haram.

Nigeria’s minister of Communications and Digital Economy Dr Isa Pantami, a radical Islamic preacher, has been subjected under scrutiny for the right reasons.

His past and present justify the outrageous activities being perpetrated by terrorist groups: Boko Haram, Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. This became the case after he confirmed that he supported terrorists through his sermons, etc.

Pantami who condemned most of the clerics for attending political meetings in the region, once said:

“I have never been into politics and I don’t intend to participate in politics. The rate at which clerics are joining politics to gain political appointment, is that how we want to practice religion?”

It is clear that Pantami is a mischief maker and a staunch fanatic. With his allegiance to Osama Bin Laden and Boko Haram, it is now without a doubt that Pantami is one of the leaders of terrorist organisations in Nigeria.

In one of the audio clips, Isa Pantami was heard praying with a cracked voice for Boko Haram who have killed more than five thousand people and rendered many hopeless.

“See what our Muslim brothers’ blood has turned into? Even a pig’s blood has more value than that of a fellow Muslim”.
Pantami admitted that Boko Haram are his brothers in Islam, whose actions he supports provided they do not kill fellow Muslims. We do not need to debate on this issue before accepting the fact that Pantami is one of the founders of terrorist organisations in Nigeria.

He was equally heard saying:

“Even if Boko Haram fighters commit a crime, but can we justify the way and manner they are being killed? Just look at how they are killing people as if they are shooting pigs. Even if they commit a crime, why the extrajudicial killing?”

Having a decimal point on the forehead does not automatically make one a good Muslim. We have many people who use this decimal point on their forehead as a camouflage to defraud people.

As a true believer, Pantami has not in any way shown us where and when he converted Boko Haram terrorists. There is no such record in the public domain.

Although he claims that he has now
renounced his pro-terrorist statements, he is still not different from Abubakar Shekau and his terrible colleagues. They are heartless human beings. These people have no respect for humanity.

Pantami failed to sympathise with families of Boko Haram victims, but felt comfortable to shed crocodile tears for terrorists who have destroyed and continue to destroy the Northeast.

Nigeria is a country that encourages criminality and harbours terrorists, otherwise Pantami should have been in jail by now.

Sadly the so-called intelligence gathering agency (DSS) failed to do a thorough investigation and screening before passing his name to the national assembly. Or DSS knew everything Pantami presents and decided to ignore it as part of their conspiracy against non-Muslim Nigerians.

But before Pantami started preaching to the world, he already had the full knowledge about Qur’an and hadiths. Pantami should show us where in the Qur’an Prophet Muhammad S. A. W prayed for terrorists or sympathised with them.

People like Pantami are not only dangerous in our society, they are a big threat to Islam and to Nigeria. He circumvented the problem by using unnecessary emotions to preach while brainwashing his followers.

Pantami who witnessed how Osama Bin Laden masterminded the bombing of the World Trade Centre in USA, where thousands of people were unjustly killed and several properties destroyed, still said that Osama was a better Muslim than he is, apparently because those killed by Osama were not Muslims.

But that is not all, after his mentor’s atrocity on September 11, 2001, Pantami pretended the attack never happened but was quick to criticise former President Goodluck Jonathan for killing Boko Haram terrorists.

Pantami later campaigned that Boko Haram be granted amnesty, a situation for which he drew a strange analogy to Niger Delta militants.

The allegation against Pantami is too weighty to be thrown out or ignored by Nigerians, especially as he is in custody of our database which he may have handed to his terrorist associates, for whom he has prayed so hard that God gives victory.

Pantami needs to resign and he needs to resign now!
