Coronavirus has lost its shock value in Nigeria. If you think otherwise, the conversations on the official Twitter page of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, will convince you. As soon as the daily number of cases are announced, young Nigerians seeking followers on the micro-blogging platform, storm the page followed by over one million people, to plead for followers. The situation isn't different on the streets and in the market places. A great number of educated and uneducated Nigerians now believe it's a hoax perpetrated by the Nigerian government to siphon money. Although there has been large-scale compliance with the NCDC guidelines by Nigerians, there are still huge doubts in the hearts of the people about the existence of the disease in the country. Some of the events that sparked doubts about the existence of the virus have been enumerated and analysed below: (1) Media coverage: The coverage of the disease outbreak in Nigeria is in sharp contrast to the way it is being done in the outside world. While most local media platforms only report the numbers given by the NCDC, international platforms like CNN, Al Jazeera, BBC and others have been showing video footage of patients in the hospitals as well as televising the testimonies of survivors. A regular watcher of CNN might just think coronavirus is at his doorstep already with the deep and constant coverage of the news on the TV station. A picture they say is more than a thousand words. (2) General distrust in government: Due to years of institutional corruption and gross abuse of public office which has made good governance a mirage in Nigeria, most people doubt any figure put out by any agency of government. They generally believe there is a sinister plot against the poor masses in the country. The popular joke on social media is that there will be an unpleasant meeting between the anti-graft agency, EFCC and the NCDC after the coronavirus pandemic. The fate of the almost N30 billion raised by the private sector to combat the virus was a source of concern. (3) The Kano Scenario: The rush for coronavirus funds after the Federal Government disbursed N10 billion to Lagos State, the epicentre of the disease, raised suspicions. The governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike was quick to demand a similar allocation to Rivers State. Governor Abdullahi Ganduje would later make matters worse by asking the President Muhammadu Buhari administration for N15 billion, to combat the disease, without any concrete working plan. With money as the bone of contention, people started disbelieving the good efforts of the NCDC. (4) External influence by big names: Popular cleric, Pastor David Ibiyeomie expressed doubts about the existence of the disease in Nigeria. Some controversial statements made by him once went viral. Due to his position as an influential figure in the country, many started sharing the same sentiments with him. Earlier, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome opened the floor of conspiracy theories by linking the deaths in Wuhan, China to the 5G technology and not the virus. Media mogul Raymond Dokpesi soon caused more harm by revealing he was only treated for 'malaria' while at the isolation centre in Abuja. Since then, most Nigerians erroneously assumed that the government is treating common malaria cases as coronavirus for selfish reasons. (5) Stigmatization and the African culture of secrecy: Most questions people ask themselves is if they have seen or know a coronavirus victim directly. The response is largely negative and this is not far from the fact that Africans have the culture of secrecy about personal affairs especially health challenges. Apart from this, victims of coronavirus also face victimization from people around them. Hence, the reason why they keep their infection private and recover secretly without sharing their testimonies. Meanwhile, some Nigerians have been bold enough to share their survival stories at the isolation centres but they are few in number. (6) The Benue index case: Mrs Susan Idoko Okpe was reported as the first case of coronavirus in Benue State. The fact that she had recently returned from the UK prior to the announcement made her a perfect fit. She rejected her result and took to social media to smear the image of the NCDC and the Nigerian government. She spent a record time of 58 days at the isolation centre. The controversy which led to her transfer to Abuja created holes in the integrity of the NCDC. Her controversial personal account seemed believable because she was asymptomatic all through, coupled with the fact that she resisted treatments. She was however released after she mounted pressure on the NCDC. The NCDC was reported to have released despite the fact that she still tested positive. (7) No wave of deaths: The Covid-19 battle is entering 3 months in Nigeria and the death rate has remained below 300. This is low compared to the outside world. Although, some northern states like Kano, Katsina, Bauchi, Yobe and others have recorded incessant strange deaths. There have also been images and videos of coronavirus patients at isolation centres engaging in fun activities rather than being confined to the sick beds. This has further reinforced the unfounded view that they are dealing with malaria or other minor ailments and not coronavirus. ( Attacks from Kogi State:The Kogi State government has alleged that it's under pressure to declare coronavirus cases. The Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, recently claimed that the state has refused to be part of the scheme set up to defraud Nigerians using the coronavirus pandemic. The state claims to be conducting several tests which are not recognized by the NCDC. Of recent, the NCDC recorded two cases for Kogi which the state rejected. Cross River is another state that is yet to record a coronavirus case. The lack of cases has been linked to inadequate testing by the state government. In summary, the back and forth argument between Kogi State and the NCDC has impeded on the credibility of the latter. In conclusion, the coronavirus virus is real. Nigeria has recorded over 10,000 cases as at the 31st of May. On the world scene, over 6.2 million people have been infected with over 372,000 fatalities recorded. cc: dominique, cc: Sissy3

I have come across ladies who wear anklets, some wear on one leg and others wear on both legs and this prompts the question,what does this practice truly mean? Through history, anklets have meant different things to different people First, what is an anklet? An anklet is a piece of jewellery — usually a chain or beads or both — that fashionable women ordinarily wear around their ankles as a fashion statement. Nigerians sometimes call it, ‘leg chain’ or ‘ankle chain’. It is also sometimes called ‘ankle bracelet’ in pop culture terms. They also usually come in different forms. Through history however, anklets have connoted different meanings to different cultures and yes, it does mean promiscuity to some cultures — ancient or contemporary times. Earliest usage While Egypt is usually credited as the first ground of usage, India seems the first major ground for accepted usage as part of the pattilu, payal or nupu. It is also called Paujinupur or the padapadma. Early history documents the Silappatikaram, a first-century story of the anklet and Rajasthani women were also heavy anklet users. Traditionally, to the Odisha people of India, only warriors could wear gold anklets. Brides also wore them as part of their complete wedding regalia. In India, they were mostly worn by married women to distinguish them in India while the ones with dangling bells were worn by dancers. Early forms of use also traces to ancient, predynastic Egypt where it was a form of class distinction — to tell rich from poor. Wives of rich men wore gold chains while the slaves, poor or plebeians wore silver, metallic or leather anklets. Of course, it was about conforming to the social strata or affordability. Still, it was a fashion accessory. They were also called menefret or kholkai. Several accounts however claim worshippers of the deity, Baal prescribed anklets for prostitutes — those accounts however remain largely unconfirmed. These days however, Egypt no longer uses such conspicuous fashion accessory due to the rise of Islam as the major religion in the region — dancers still wear them, however for noise effects of simply accessorizing. Examples of such dancers are belly dancers. Modern usage and warping of its meaning Anklets became mainstream pop culture accessory, most notably as part of the ‘slut revolution’ circa 70s America, just after the advent and experimentation of the ‘roaring twenties’. This era symbolized expression amongst modern women to act according to prerogative. It was also a time of sexual liberation. Anklets also became a popular accessory with women of this time, that probably warped the perception of anklets as accessory for promiscuous women. From then, it became a symbol for a “hotwife” and there are peculiarities to that effect. It is a sign of availability. Others might see it as a simple fashion accessory, but, it doesn’t excuse its symbolism for promiscuity and sexual liberalism. Who is a ‘hotwife’? This is simply a term for a married woman, still open to sexual relationships with other men, without objection from her husband. Around October 2017, for EliteReaders, Faye Williams broke down the various signs of a hotwife in relation to anklets in the following manner; 1. Hotwife: Two male symbols, one female symbol — This is a conspicuous symbol of availability to availability to any race of men. 2. Hotwife: Queen of Spades — Letter ‘Q’ and spade symbol symbolized preference for black men. 3. Hotwife: Heart symbol — Heart symbol in the anklet symbolizes a happy marriage. It is however open to intimate relationships of mutual benefits. 4. Hotwife: The key to happiness — It symbolizes a happy marriage where the husband can only philander with his wife’s permission. The game is the game — but must we always judge? Despite the history, most Nigerian women wear anklets as fashion accessories. Most of them don’t even have the slightest idea of its history as a symbol of class or sexual liberalism. While the reason these women are judged harshly is understandable and some of these women are modern and progressive by African conservative standards, it does not mean liberal promiscuity in present times. Let’s just leave anklets for what they are — fashion accessories. Women shouldn’t be judged harshly for their fashion choices as they have been judged harshly for far too long. It is a woman’s choice what she also chooses to do with her body. https://www.pulse.ng/gist/pulse-query-does-an-anklet-signify-promiscuity/pnt7bpw cc: Mynd44 cc: OAM4J

The coronavirus pandemic has been a life threatening disease ravaging the entire world. Off course Nigeria has not been an exception as it has recorded about 3145 confirmed cases and slightly above a hundred deaths. The pandemic has so far been recorded in 34states including the FCT but then again the amazing thing is that two states Kogi and Cross River states are yet to record even a case when all neighbouring states had recorded at least more than 2 cases. The big question is what are these state government doing differently that other states aren't doing? Are there not enough testing facilities in these states? Is the use of facemask and hand sanitizers which was made compulsory by the state government really curtailing the spread in these states? Is the inter-state border closure strictly adhered to? What are your thoughts? |
Buhari's govt is only but a joke.Full of corrupt practices yet claiming to fight kwaraption. |

Bitter leaf belongs to the Asteraceae family in the large genus Vernonia. The plant is a shrub with moderate canopies occurring in open, regrowth forest locations; it is often raised around habitations. The leaves are broad, ovate and spirally-arranged on branches. As a pot-herb and source of medicinals, bitter leaf is in a special class in terms of the cultural methods of preparation. The leaves are squeezed in water with salt added to wash off toxic materials which ooze out as foamy, brown exudates until they are clean. This is one form in which the vegetable is sold in the market. In the early 80s when the crusade for the use of herbal medicine began, bitter leaf was one of the abused local herbs. Some people drank the exudates that were traditionally washed out of the leaves before use as vegetables. I know two close friends who came down with massive skin eruptions which required medical attention! This is probably due to the presence of raphides which are bundles of needle-like crystals of calcium oxalate in the bitter leaf. Bitterleaf is used as vegetable, sole or mixed with other vegetables. Do you know that bitter leaf has been made into capsule in the USA? I saw the picture of the bottle last month and what came to my mind was “will someone from Africa still buy this?” Bitter leaf has been used as food and medicine for centuries in Africa. The plant has a wide spectrum of uses in African traditional medicine and has been used in the management and treatment of a number of health conditions. For instance, African traditional healers across the African continent use the plant for treating and managing a number of conditions like fever, malaria, stomach ache, skin infections (like ringworm, acne), diabetes, cancer, insomnia, hepatitis, toothache, jaundice, diarrhoea, bilharzia, pneumonia, tuberculosis, stroke, arthritis, wounds, fatigue and cough. It is also used as an anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-helminthes; as a laxative, an appetiser, an aphrodisiac and for body weight loss. Recent studies indicate that extracts of bitter leaf exerts antibiotic action against drug-resistant micro-organisms and can prevent or delay the onset of breast cancer and diabetes. According to a study carried out by researchers at the University of Jos, bitter leaf has an anti-diabetic effect in diabetes mellitus (Type 2 diabetes). A nutritionist, Dr Grace Johnson, reported that bitter leaf can improve fertility because of its ability to boost the function of the reproductive system, balance hormones and help the ovary to release healthy eggs. However, according to a study, administration of bitter leaf extract at higher dosage for a long duration provoked varying degrees of testicular degeneration ranging from a significant reduction in sperm concentration and motility to abnormal morphology of sperm cells in male rats. Bitter leaf contains vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2 and minerals such as zinc, manganese, iron, potassium, and calcium. Some of its specific benefits are: Stimulates uterine contractions: A long time before advanced medical practice and medications were readily available, bitter leaf was one herb used to assist women with childbearing, especially if difficulty was being encountered. It possesses uterine stimulatory properties which help to propel the child along the uterine and subsequently vaginal tract. It also helps with removing the placenta (after birth). Natural fever reducer: Bitter leaf has also been used traditionally for management of fever, especially in poor countries with lack of access to essential medications such as the anti-pyretics. Fever can be lethal in babies where it can lead to irreversible brain damage or more. This makes bitter leaf indispensable as a life-saver. Its anti-pyretic actions are due to the presence of several flavonoid compounds that help to modulate central temperature regulation. Natural anti-parasitic actions: Digestive parasites may hibernate inconspicuously for years while they slowly leach nutrients from their host, gradually leading to a state of chronic malnutrition. This is why it is important to regularly schedule anti-parasitic treatment or if unavailable, to take advantage of natural alternatives such as bitter leaf. Its anti-parasitic actions target both adult and larval stages of parasites making it a great comprehensive treatment option for people who cannot afford conventional medicine or where clinics may not be available. Helps reduce cancer risk: Bitter leaf is interesting in the sense that it can help to reduce risk of having cancer and also treat cancers, though it is best employed early after detection. It is a melting pot of natural compounds which exert anti-oxidant and tumour-suppressing actions which enhance the immune system’s natural cancer treatment functions. While more studies definitely need to be undertaken to confirm its potential in treating cancer on a larger scale, natives of areas where it can be found abundantly growing attest to its efficacy. Supports breast milk production:Bitter leaf appears to be a mother’s best friend. In addition to helping get the baby out, it also stimulates the natural production of breast milk. Its galactagogue properties are especially useful to new mothers who may experience difficulty with lactating for the first time. Enhances metabolic rate: It is a handy tool in your quest to achieve weight loss as well. For instance, bitter leaf can help to suppress your appetite, which equates to reduced caloric intake over the course of the day. It assists in blood glucose management which facilitates enhanced fat utilisation. Lowers blood pressure:Bitter leaf contains potassium as an electrolyte mineral that plays roles in balancing salt and water concentration in blood and extra-cellular fluid; it also possesses vaso-dilatory properties. It can help regulate the flexibility of blood vessels in response to changes in blood volume. Enhances detoxification: It is helpful in the detoxification of the kidneys and liver, the main organs which facilitate the removal of waste material by the body. Under stressful conditions, enzymes produced by these organs may become elevated in turn leading to inflammatory processes. Bitter leaf assists with homeostasis of these organs and can support their optimal functioning. Bitter leaf has also been used traditionally for management of kidney stones as it promotes urine flow. It can also prevent the development of fatty liver disease. Soothes skin ailments: Owing to the many traits of bitter leaf, it is not surprising to discover that it can be used in the management of skin conditions. For instance, consumption and localised applications of bitter leaf made into a paste can soothe eczematous rashes, reduce psoriatic flare-ups (itchy skin eruptions) and even help to prevent infections of deep wounds. https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/take-advantage-of-health-benefits-of-bitter-leaf-vernonia-amygdalina/%3famp=1 |
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has vowed to abandon the agitation for the Republic of Biafra if President Muhammadu Buhari’s office in Aso Rock, is accessed after the death of Abba Kayri. Naija News had reported earlier that Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to the President died of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on Friday, April 17. A statement on the micro-blogging site, Twitter by Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity confirmed the development. The Presidential media aide tweeted: “The deceased had tested positive to the ravaging COVID-19 and had been receiving treatment. But he died on Friday, April 17, 2020. “May God accept his soul. Funeral arrangements will be announced shortly,” Adesina had tweeted. Reacting to Kyari’s death during a live broadcast on Saturday, Kanu, who is on exile in the United Kingdom, alleged that the Presidential office cannot be accessed because the palm print of late Kyari is needed to open the door to the President‘s office. Speaking on Radio Biafra, the IPOB leader said: “If you can go into the presidential office and stream from that office, I will abandon Biafra. The key to the office is lying somewhere in the grave in Abuja. You cannot access the office. “They need Abba Kyari to open the Presidential office. They need to do the palm print of Abba Kyari to open the office,” Kanu alleged. “If they can enter the presidential office and stream live from there, I will abandon Biafra, I will come on LIVE to apologize and abandon Biafra. But they can’t do it, the Chinese is working tirelessly to meltdown the door. “He (Abba Kyari) was cremated when he died, no retina scan, no palm print, they cannot access the office. Anybody they are receiving now cannot go into the office,” Kanu alleged. Kanu added that the presidential office is not where President Buhari who he describes as “Jubril of Sudan” sits and Watch Champions League after eating Nkwobi, but where Presidents sits to work. “That Boy from Sudan is eating Nkwobi, they brought an Igbo girl for him and he started Nkwobi, I don’t know how he developed the taste for Nkwobi. Now there is no more Champions League, I don’t know what he will be watching. “They can only take visitors to the room where Jubril (Buhari) watch Champions League and not the Presidential office. That place is banned before you open it, you need to scan the retina and Palm Print of Abba Kyari and that is how Abba Kyari became the most powerful man. “After Buhari died, only Abba Kyari had access to the Presidential Villa, Now that Kyari is dead, they cremated him, they would have cut of his hand but they couldn’t because of Coronavirus,” he alleged. https://www./2020/04/19/abba-kyari-i-will-abandon-biafra-if-buharis-office-is-nnamdi-kanu/amp/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter
