You are also bigger than Tinubu, Atiku because they never went to prison for democracy.

Clap for yourself Junior.

DrAda:
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.”

Nothing to add... the informative post is was hoping to see. Thank you.

If it were to be a couple of years back, I would have believed all that he wrote but no more, knowledge is a force of freedom

YoungLionken:
Polygamy is not the problem. The problem is lack of control and organization. Even the Bible says "train up a child.." It didn't state monogamy or polygamy..

Before you argue, have you not seen brothers and/or sisters of same parents tear each other up? The high rate of divorce today (home and away), is it not from monogamous homes? The Oni of Ife was initially monogamous and he was divorced, since he embraced polygamy, have you heard about such nonsense from his women again? Check polygamous men and how quiet their women are and compare with the monogamous loudmouths online, with some of them even bragging about how they dealt with their (monogamous) men..

There's no kind of problem you would hang on polygamy that you would not find in monogamy. It simply depends on the roles of the patriarch of the house.

Men (common with our fathers) always fail to be there to emotionally connect, unite and be there for their children when it matters. They just believe providing is all there is, nothing else. That's why four out of every five children of our typical African homes HARDLY have any emotional memory of our fathers, it was more of fathers being strict almost every time. But our generation of men are gradually changing that narrative as we play more with our kids now, be there for them on their graduation days, sport tournaments, vacation, etc. A rare privilege, many of us didn't get with our fathers while under them..

Everyone will walk their paths according to their unique experience; Some children from the so called monogamous homes would immediately start fighting over properties their father left, but they never for once fought for who will take care of the man when he was around and sick. Or is it when the wayward first son starts selling the inheritance as cheap articles with nothing tangible to show after sometime? My personal experience while growing up made me realize that You can have a good mother, who is not a good wife to your father...

I give it to you.
You wrote insightful things here. For as much as I don't and can't consider polygamy as a person of faith and having seen what polygamy can do while watching close by, you shared great insights.

This thread in particular on nairaland is quite revealing. Fathers go through a lot, yet a little mistake here and there often undo their legacies.

One is called "WIKEd", I don't know about the other one. And the holy word says there is no peace for the wicked.

What happened?
Atiku is really firing from all cylinders for days running...
Yet BAT paid agents won't be able to say much to Atiku but if it is Obi, that's the mountain they want to die on top

These guys don't even know any song to sing other than Peter Obi. Is he the only contesting for election?

Your own Principal Tinubu, has Tinubu fixed Nigeria in almost 4 years. He is a failure going by his own statement. He said they shouldn't vote him if he couldn't fix power. Now, is national power fixed?

YoungBlackRico:
HIV is not the only thing you can contract through sex, and condom won't save you from some of them.

You can see how "dry", less engaging and less appealing this thread is, barely 2 pages. But this thing is so endemic, killing so many secretly.
HIV has been touted as if the only danger. Meanwhile there are other hosts of infections that people are carrying about. Hepatitis B is even said to kill faster than HIV if contacted through indiscriminate sex. Herpes, warts, Gonorrhea, syphilis are even popular... but there are so many others as well.

By the way, these are just physical ones alone.
Some folks still live in ignorance or deny the fact that sex doesn't affect spiritual or soulish side of man. It is a gross, dangerous ignorance. Misfortune, demons and more transferable through the acts. The same way, good things are transferable through sex, if done within the confine of lawful engagement. Some people's lives get better immediately they start having encounters with their partners. Some start getting worse, some start experiencing depression or suicidal thoughts. Humans dance around the pleasurable feelings that come with sex, but it is a deep thing.

Anyone who has got grace from God to stay true not to break divine laws comcerning sexuality has indeed received great grace.

Some folks are going to thrash all these being said, but I don't have the time to reply. Please keep on experimenting.

Tenses:
I will never understand why people do this on SM.

Maybe am just weird or wired differently.

Like a complete strangers from just one post knows too much about a life that have lived for 33 years.

I can actually predict the live of so many people because through several SM handles they have unconsciously exposed their daily routine.

Now you have told kidnappers that she's a cryto guru meaning she's loaded.

You are not alone, may be "weird" isn't the right word though.
I look at me sometimes, and I wonder because I can fit into the word "secret agent" very well.
For several years, I can't tell if I ever used a WhatsApp pix. You can't check my social media to figure me out. Someone here said the other time may be I am still living in the village for saying some things in some ways.... the person wouldn't know how far, far away from "village" i am. But i like it. There is a lot of rest and security that comes from not trying to impress anyone and keeping up appearances or divulging personal info.
I really don't blame people who also do that also
We all can't be the same.
Yet at the same time, online exposure needs a bit of caution, and even secrecy also needs some balance too. But individuals can do what feels right to them. May be.

What 8 pm...which time zone is that?

Is it not supposed to be 10 pm?

PigTormentor:
Not done anywhere? Have you been living under a rock? Have you heard of our dear leader called Trump?
He puts his name and face on, US passport, he put his name on Govt check, he put his name on JFK center that has been in existence for decades.
I beg stop this trash that is never happen anywhere.
You don't like, it's ok.
But saying ot doesn't happen, na complete lie.

Hello PigTormentor, get your facts right.
All those you mentioned are twisted facts to make Tinubu appear like what he's doing is normal. Confirm all those you mentioned about President Trump below as exceptional cases while some are reversed. Reversed, because it is not normal

1. US Passport: The State Department released a limited-edition US passport for the 250th birthday of America. It features an image of Donald Trump punching his fists on a desk.

2. Govt Check: During the 2020 pandemic, his name was printed on the memo line of the economic relief checks sent to tens of millions of Americans.

JFK Center: His hand-picked board voted ta rename the center to the "Trump-Kennedy Center". However, a federal judge ruled this illegal, and the name was removed from the building.

You guys are individuals having nothing to do with seats of power.
Tinubu and Buhari are birds of the same feathers. Buhari started the madness, naming stuff after himself as the ruling person.
It is not done anywhere. After office someone who feels you did well might do so, but not you when still in office.
You people's agenda has always been clear, he lord over all, not a servant-leader

Is this the next thing really?
How about life imprisonment for caught terrorists or government officials convicted of stealing public funds?

Queengee:
In my view, the U.S. government is making a mistake by pursuing broad aid cuts. Such measures often place the greatest burden on ordinary citizens including the Nigeria Christians they're trying to fight for, who rely on essential services, while political leaders are far less likely to feel the immediate impact. A more targeted approach that holds those responsible accountable without harming vulnerable people would be more effective.

It is hard to tell the owner on how to spend his money.
You also forget that the aids in question do not go to an individuals, but go through government agencies or something. Where are the proofs that government even does justice with the aids? A government that keeps releasing terrorists in the name of rehabilitation can't be a sincere government.
Is it not Nigeria government that everyone knows? So many rhetorical questions

Is it not clear that somehow FIFA has bias for Argentina? See clear unprovoked attacks that should attract cards on a normal day.
If the script is flipped, ref would see anyone playing Argentina that way. Too had

Let the game begin...
There should be surprises

Haydens:
Make FIFA still cancel this goal again.

Dem no born them.
At least Ronaldo no chop like this.

E suppose don become 3 nil by now

I'm loving this

bolaayenimo:
Fifa fraud

Very evident.

Ref waited until Egypt scored, then went on to look at ball context leading to counter attack, only to disallow goal.
Fifa is for Messi, very clear.
Argentina was specifically placed to keep playing weaker countries till date

Fifa for Messi

mrvitalis:
All 4 funded with borrowed money

All 4 can’t generate revenue to pay back its loan

All 4 would make naira weaker and Nigerians poorer

All for feel good projects

You gerrit
That's apart from how overblown the projects were

ColdHunter:
Rules are rules.

Clear penalty.

Football isn't a game of semtiments.

Which rules?
Rules which are not always consistent?
Refs are humans and they have their biases also
In this same tournament, some clear penalties have been disallowed

Lanretoye:
Them push MNK,them go back…them push Elrufai,them go back…them push Sowore,them go back…if VDM like make e no get sense,him brother that is in china will not come back to Nigeria and follow him to kuje,all these online and foot soldiers will turn back immediately he don red

You gerrit.
Eventually, somehow they are going to find a way to lock him.
Sad enough, Nigerians are not worth dying for.
And they never seem to be ever ready for their own freedom.

datola:
That's a serious country USA!

We are still waiting for Nigeria government to arrest and prosecute these evil people they know about since.

That's why I don't believe that BAT has an intention to end any insecurity.
Retired top Naval officer said a couple of years back on live TV programme that government has every info about these financiers. What are they doing with the info?
They are better armed with arresting anyone criticizing the government. Kids and their teachers whose fate only God knows have been in the forest for over a month, yet one highly incompetent man sitting in Aso rock feels, it is his right to remain there. A country whose soldiers and military generals are being slaughtered for nothing, is that one a serious country but a laughingstock?

GanagiBitrus:
Tough test for Ghana.
They'll be lucky to get a Draw.

One good thing about S/Eagles not qualifying for this WC, is that we can all relax & watch the matches without any risk of hypertension.

You gerrit, but i don't get "hypertension" personally. It is always interesting seeing others in hot seat until you are the one in there.

At least, super eagle players are also at rest individually, because the least of errors or goalless match would have attracted those who couldn't lace Osihmen's boot to begin to coach him

DiamondsAreFore:
Good riddance to garbage. Hands down the most incompetent and incapable PM in British history.

He knows his ill fated party is on the way out so he's jumping ship before it sinks.

REALLY?
I am not disputing what you stated nor agree with it. I respect your opinion.
The question is, in the past 10 years, how many PMs have successfully done their terms? The PM seat in the UK is hotter than most people realize.
There is hardly any major policy you champion which won't attract contrarian opinions.
When people are highly "critically civilized", and overly polarized, certain things can't be missing. If Kemi Badenoch as an opposition leader should emerge, she should be very ready for maximum turbulence. To govern the British people in the recent decades isn't a walk in the park.

Really? Don't throw stone if you live in a glass house

You are not God.
God is not you.

Political class will embrace the worst person for an office in as much it benefits them.
Case in view: you are still likely going to be a serving minister if he is re-elected. Why won't you support him?

Daguccizgreat:
You're naive about Nigerian politics. Peter Obi saw the future and left LP after it was glaring the drug lord in Aso rock was bent on destroying the party

I believe the guy you are replying is one of the paid agents or political jobbers.
Was the crisis in LP not helped by the ruling party? Why is everyone from Wike to Reno to Keyamo are always agitating at the naming of Peter Obi. Is it not glaring that Tinubu wants to go into next election without any opposition, using the state powers both at the judicial and whatnot level to disarm opposition? If Obi did not quickly leave ADC, by now he wouldn't even remain a candidate again going by the recent court judgement nullifying Atiku's primaries.

Are these online trolls blind enough to see all these things and they just choose to subscribe to foolishness all their life?

Meanwhile Rivers state APC governorship candidate who is Wike's puppet won the APC's primary before he even defected to APC. Who has ever heard of that before? To become a party's candidate when officially you have not even decamped? If it were to be any other person who is not an APC, won't court nullify that move?

APC is the real principality doing anti-democratic antics on full throttle

brain54:
If it's derived from plants does that not make it herbalistic...


Most people lump herbal and supernatural together.


I don't believe there is no juju/ jazz though... you believe in God but not the supernatural. That doesn't add up!

Don't mind him. I like how you ended it. Believing in God but not believing in supernatural.

Even the whites have witchcraft and black magic and more. Certain epic movies attest to the fact that spiritual powers exist. There are places in western Nigeria, villages, where they have taboos that no one dares break like that without consequences, except God is the One asking you to dare it. There is a place in the Eastern Nigeria that no one dares kill snakes without consequences.
Bro is here claiming no juju.


I know it exists but much more that God's power is superior.

EmperorIsaac:
Those sons are not 10 years old. What if God asks one of them to succeed you?

Doctors' sons later aspire to be doctors; lawyers' sons; engineers' sons...In fact, it's the joy of parents to see their sons succeed them. Jimmy Swaggert's sons succeeded him. I think he owes those boys some apology. I see no wisdom (I say this respectfully) in this declaration since it's ultimately going to be God's decision.

Even Jesus wanted His disciples to succeed him here on earth. In fact, God in the Old Testament specifically asked for the dedication of a particular tribe.

Jimmy's sons may succeed him, even Joel Osteen succeeded his father, still in most cases, that's not the way it is supposed to be. How sure are you that those mentioned actually did it the way God wanted them to have done it?
Doctor's or lawyer's son succeeding his father...that's on a professional level. Ministry is not a profession, it is a calling. Paul said no one takes the honour on himself except he is called. Most cases where biological sons are taking over, believe me, it is not the very will of God. It is possible for a son to succeed his father in ministry but it is hardly like that. The dedication of the tribe of Levi to priesthood in the old testament is not a perfect picture of what is obtainable in the new testament. If thats the case, Jesus was supposed to have come from that tribe of Levi as well. But Jesus came from the tribe of Judah. How many of his disciples even came from Levi's tribe? The calling in the new testament is not by tribe or birth. A son of a man of God may also become a minister but that doesn't necessarily mean he will become the leader of the ministry. It doesn't always work like that. But in the real world and even in church, politics does happen

kelechi50:
There was a country. Why not declare state of emergency on security nationwide.

When it is not Rivers state.
Do you understand?

They have claimed that it is opposition that's creating insecurity palaver.

This guy is personalizing mockery and ridicule.

Who is bigger between you and Obi?
Obi should come to you for assistance, as how?

The fact that an Igbo man can be attacking a fellow Igbo like this is intriguing.
Kenneth, life is keeping the records of your activities, this you are doing won't make your future boss as trustworthy. You talk too much to start with, and overestimating yourself is doing you a disservice
