Health / 9 Ways You Can Protect Your Kidneys From Getting Damaged by HazleMarvle: 9:47am On Jul 26, 2022
Do you know that one Guy at the group project who makes sure everyone performs optimally in the role assigned to them? That friend who cleans up after a house party so the apartment remains habitable? Well, that's essentially what your kidneys do for the other organs of the body (not a perfect analogy I know, but you get the picture right?).

The human kidneys are paired structures, tucked away retroperitoneally in the abdomen, constantly working day and night for our good. This organ mops up terrible toxins and waste products and removes them through the urine they produce, maintains water balance, acid-base balance, electrolyte balance, blood pressure, and secretes important hormones needed for human survival and function. Both kidneys contain about 3.6 million nephrons which are the functional units (this number varies widely among different individuals).




The kidneys are very IMPORTANT, once both are permanently damaged, it is nearly impossible to survive unless medicine intervenes (really expensive medical care I must add). The subtlety, complexity, and progressive nature of some of these kidney diseases also compound the problem. However, it is possible to prevent the kidneys from getting damaged, and also possible to slow down the progression to permanent kidney failure if it begins. In this post, I've highlighted nine (9) simple, practicable, and highly rewarding changes we can make to protect our kidneys:

•Stop holding your urine for long periods: Holding that urine for an extended period without urinating will create an opportunity for bacteria to grow within the urinary tract. This can lead to recurrent urinary infections and damage to the kidneys. So please, when next that urge to void comes, let it flow.

•Drink enough water: Dehydration can affect the process of urine formation and the removal of waste products. It also affects the volume of blood getting to the kidneys and causes kidney stones which are terrible for kidney function. Drinking about 2-4 liters of water (8-10 glasses) has been studied to be adequate, stay rehydrated guys.

•Control hypertension, diabetes, and other medical conditions: Some of the most common causes of renal failure are poorly controlled medical conditions such as hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Be sure to take your prescribed medications if you're managing these conditions, do not miss clinic appointments, and always monitor your blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and renal function. Take care of your health.

•Stop smoking and drinking: Smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol can increase the risk of kidney disease, and liver disease. Remember, you don't need them to function, I'll advise you to stop now. If you're struggling with addiction, contact the nearest healthcare facility for help and guidance.

•Don't abuse Drugs: Indiscriminate use of Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and certain antibiotics can damage your kidneys too as they are nephrotoxic. It is safe (and wise) to always get prescriptions from well-trained medical personnel before using any drug.

•Treat all infections appropriately: Poorly treated infections can also damage your kidneys, so please treat all infections (especially urinary tract infections) promptly and properly. Present to a healthcare facility as soon as you notice any symptoms and get the best care.

•Stop using those Herbal medications: Herbal drugs can't cure everything, they are not safe, stop using them. The kidneys filter every substance that enters the body and are particularly vulnerable to harmful agents (yes! those herbal medications can be very toxic).

•Cut down on salt intake and refined sugar consumption: It is safe to say that eating healthy is the only way. Excessive dietary salts can lead to (and also) complicate hypertension, same for sugar in diabetes, and both can contribute to kidney failure.

•Exercise often and Rest well: Daily exercise and quality rest ensure you remain in shape. It improves cardiac and skeletal function, lowers high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and also prevents insulin resistance. All these are good for your kidneys and overall health.


Chronic Kidney disease is a multifactorial entity, there is so little we can do in certain instances but we can at least try. Make an effort to become more intentional with your 'health-care' today.

Let me know your contributions and questions in the comment section and please share with your friends and loved ones. Be safe.

‘Most importantly, I would like to thank our fans for allowing us into your homes every week and being your choice of entertainment.

Politics / I’ll Support Presidential Candidate Who Has No Money To Share-methodist Prelate by HazleMarvle: 3:35pm On Jul 16, 2022
Samuel Kanu-Uche, prelate of the Methodist Church Nigeria (MCN), says he will only support a presidential candidate who doesn’t engage in vote-buying.
He spoke on Friday in Enugu at the graduation ceremony of 160 members of the church from the Enugu diocese, who were trained on various vocational skills.

The prelate advised Nigerians against selling their votes, adding that politicians who engage in vote-buying have nothing to offer in terms of service to the nation.

He, however, did not name which candidate he would support for the presidency.

“I know that most of the candidates has nothing to offer, but any presidential candidate that shares money will not receive my vote,” NAN quoted him as saying.

“Only those who have no money to share but offer themselves for service will get my vote.”

Addressing the graduands, especially the women, he urged them to use their skills to contribute meaningfully to societal growth and national development.

“Our women are known for being industrious and never relied on their husbands or go after men. Rather, they use their sweat to help their husbands,” he said.

“I believe the training you received today will add value to your family. I would not have gone to college if not for my mother who stood by her husband.

“She never knew she was training a prelate of Methodist Church Nigeria. So, do not leave here today to go and relax.”

The participants benefitted from a free training programme organised by the Potters Wheel Foundation (PWF), Enugu, which is owned and managed by Godsown Onuzulike and his wife, Chinwe.

The prelate commended the organisers for training church members free of charge, and prayed for God’s blessing upon the family.

Politics / Peter Obi Replies Tinubu Over 'Derogatory' Remark by HazleMarvle: 9:24pm On Jul 13, 2022
Peter Obi, on Wednesday, reacted to the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu’s comment about their party, which the party and its members considered derogatory.

Obi made the remark in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, at a mega rally to support the governorship candidate of the party, Lasun Yusuff.

He said: “I listened to our chairman when he said that somebody said ‘they can labor till death’.

“When they show you hatred, Labour Party will show them love. There is dignity in labor.”


Recall that Tinubu, at the grand rally for the re-election of APC candidate, Adegboyega Oyetola, on Tuesday, had said: “They said some are in Labour, they will remain laborers till death.”

He also called on the people of Osun to support the party’s candidate in the governorship poll to give the state better leadership.

Similarly, the LP’s candidate, Lasun lambasted Tinubu, saying his comment about the Labour Party by the APC leader was inconsistent with the attributes of a virtuous Yoruba man.

Politics / Bola Ahmed Tinubu: From Drug Lord To Presidential Candidate By David Hundeyin by HazleMarvle: 2:18pm On Jul 13, 2022
From Gary, Indiana to Abuja, Nigeria via a stopover in Chicago. Here is how the bagman for a 1990’s Chicago drug ring has become a frontrunner for Nigeria’s most powerful office. And then some.
“The 1990s were a crazy time.”

– John Kelly, White House chief of staff 2017 – 2019

On October 11, 1990, federal agents from the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) knocked on the front door of 460, Taft Place in the city of Gary, Indiana. Once a booming steel town with a population approaching 180,000 in 1960, Gary was one of number of cities and towns across the US suffering from severe population loss, among other adverse effects of overseas competition on their mainstay industries. From having over 30,000 employees at its peak in 1970, the city’s main employer U.S. Steel Gary Works retained just 6,000 employees in 1990.

In these circumstances, this city and its 77 percent African-American population were witnessing explosive growth in one of the few industries guaranteed to boom in response to such difficult circumstances. 42 year-old Lee Andrew Edwards was one of the entrepreneurs who had found a place in the heroin trade, and by all accounts he had done well for himself. With the proceeds from his illegal business, he had bought 2 residential homes including 460, Taft Place, an apartment building, a liquor store and a new car – all paid for with cash.



According to court records from the United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit, the DEA agents arrived at the property to execute a search warrant after a 7-month FBI investigation involving Edwards’s brother Jimmie, implicated him as the narcotics kingpin of Gary. Edwards did not open the door for the agents, who were forced to break into the house. He instead fired 3 gunshots at them, after which he surrendered.

DEA agents found weapons including a carbine rifle, thousands of dollars in cash, drug prepping equipment including a triple-beam scale, and several grams of cocaine and heroin powder in the house. He was later sentenced to life in prison, but not before something about his business operation came to the fore.

Two Drug Dealers And An Accountant: A Partnership Begins
Federal investigators had determined that Edwards’s heroin supply came from a Nigerian drug dealer in Chicago called Abiodun Agbele. Abiodun had earlier agreed to work for the feds in exchange for lighter sentencing, and as part of the plea deal, he revealed everything he knew about the heroin trade in Chicago.

Located at the junction of 4 states with combined population exceeding 27 million at
the time, Chicago was a key trafficking hub in the American heroin trade. And as it turned out, the wholesale trade of an especially potent form of heroin from Southeast Asia (SEA) in 1990s Chicago was controlled by Nigerian criminal gangs.

The following excerpt is taken from the January 2001 Illinois Drug Threat Assessment published by the US Justice Department’s National Drug Intelligence Centre:
“Nigerian criminal groups are responsible for wholesale distribution of most of the SEA heroin shipped into Chicago. SEA heroin, which is 80-90 percent pure, is being sold between Nigerian traffickers for $80,000-$110,00 per kilogram. Wholesalers in Chicago usually sell heroin without cutting it to minimize their handling of the product and their exposure to law enforcement.”

Agbele himself was no criminal mastermind however. As he testified under oath, that honour belonged to a man who went by the name of Adegboyega Mueez Akande, who was apparently his uncle. Shortly after Agbele’s arrival in the US, Akande had taken him under his wing and showed him the ropes of wholesale heroin trafficking. When Akande returned to Nigeria in mid-1990, Agbele was left in charge of selling regular heroin shipments from Nigeria to Lee Edwards and delivering the profits to his uncle.

In the meantime, the Nigerian-led heroin trade Chicago fed an addiction epidemic that became so bad that it changed local health and law enforcement practises. For the first time, providing addicts with free access to safe syringes and needles to ensure that they did not share them and possibly spread HIV became a core focus of public health policy.

In other words, SEA heroin from Nigeria was so potent and addictive that public health policy in Chicago shifted away from trying to make heroin addicts stop using altogether, and merely ensuring that they used “safely.”

One notable organisation that did such outreach work with heroin addicts was the Chicago Recovery Alliance (CRA). I reached out to its current executive director John Werning to get a sense of how the heroin epidemic changed law enforcement practises from the 1990s to date in Chicago. His comments were predictably grim:

“Heroin of course, has consequences, right? But I think we would probably say that the the more major impact is the draconian laws around how heroin was policed. I think that it’s pretty well established that there was a very specific targeting of folks who use drugs generally, but also heroin in particular, and it was mostly targeted towards the policing of black and brown communities.

That’s not specific to Chicago. I think that’s across the nation. But just in general, I think [there was a] lack of compassion by government entities to give people access to the treatment that they need, or nonviolent drug possession and mandatory minimum sentencing. I mean, there’s a ton of different aspects of this that absolutely eviscerated populations, particularly marginalised populations in Chicago, and that’s probably the advocates view on this.

Now, whether or not that that can be translated into a comment about the international drug trade, and specifically from, you said, Nigeria, I just don’t know, but that’s definitely more like domestic politics than international.”

While all of this was going on, an interesting sub-plot was taking place in the background. An accountant living in the Chicago area who worked for Mobil Oil Nigeria with a declared monthly income of $2,400 had just deposited over $1.4 million in the bank.

He had no known source of income apart from his day job, but he had become friends with Akande and Agbele, discovering one key piece of information in the process – drug dealers need accountants too.

Soon he would find himself holding and wiring money on behalf of a Nigerian heroin gang in Chicago. Fast forward a bit to January 1992 and he would find himself the subject of a US federal investigation

Fast forward a bit further in the same year and he would successfully run for office in Nigeria as a senator for Lagos West. Then another politician said to have ties to international drug trafficking would successfully run for president in Nigeria on a controversial all-Muslim ticket in 1993.

The election would be annulled, the politician jailed, and ultimately another Nigerian military coup would take place in 1994. The accountant would find himself exiled and working with the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) to unseat a kleptocrat military dictator. Then the dictator would unexpectedly drop dead one day in 1998, followed in quick succession by the jailed politician with the alleged drug links.

The accountant would return a hero, and successfully run for governor of Lagos in 1999. The kleptocrat dictator’s bagman who helped launder over $4 billion would become the accountant’s new bestie, as an erstwhile Chicago drug gang’s “loader” would start his new lifetime mission of capturing Africa’s largest subnational economy and turning it into his personal “aza.”

A major political opponent of the accountant would end up strangled to death in his bedroom 10 months to an election which his chosen candidate would go on to win. Said opponent’s son would subsequently be offered a cushy job working for that candidate. He would accept the offer… If you’re already struggling to follow this unlikely sequence of events, don’t worry, it gets worse.

“The 1990s were a crazy time.”

Bola Ahmed Tinubu – The Origin Story
A US District Court would seem like an odd place to begin this story, but this is no ordinary story. The main character in this story is an individual whose entire existence is as puzzlingly mysterious as it is loud and public. For at least 30 years, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been at or near the grinding face of frontline politics in Nigeria, yet a peek one inch below the surface reveals how little is actually known about the man who some say is Nigeria’s president-in-waiting.

First of all there is the age controversy. How old is the man really? What is his real date of birth? Short answer, no one actually knows. Like many Nigerians born into the less-than-auspicious circumstances that characterised his childhood in Iragbiji, Osun State, he himself may not even know.

Similar controversy exists around what his actual name is. A popular theory is that “Bola Ahmed Tinubu” is an identity that he transitioned into at some point after moving to Lagos to live with his surrogate mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji.

The only thing every version of his life story has in common is that for the first 2 decades or so, he was apparently invisible and unmemorable. There are no childhood friends, classmates, neighbours or colleagues that remember him. Sometime in the mid 1970s, he somehow materialised at the international airport in Lagos holding a passport with a US visa and a one-way ticket to Chicago in hand. From his arrival in Chicago in 1975, his story became easier to track and verify.

He first spent 2 years gaining an Associate degree at Richard J. Daley College in Chicago. From there, he proceeded on Chicago State University where he studied Accounting, completing his Bachelor’s degree in 1979. Subsequently, his story appeared straightforward and prosaic – got a job as an accountant at Mobil Oil Nigeria Ltd in Fairfax, Virginia, got married to Oluremi, and went on to have 3 kids with her. Well after, you know, 3 fruitful indiscretions, shall we say. Ahem.

In a 2016 interview with TheNews, Tinubu claimed that his break into the financial big time came at the Big 4 consultancy firm Deloitte & Touche, where he supposedly received an $850,000 bonus as a result of his work on a single onsite engagement at the Saudi state-owned oil firm.

For anyone with even a passing knowledge of corporate consulting remuneration, the categorical dishonesty in the screenshot above needs no explanation. For everyone else, here is a current breakdown of the maximum amount a Partner (the highest attainable position) can realistically expect to earn at Deloitte USA.

Bearing in mind that the time period in question was sometime in the mid 1980s, $850,000 adjusted for the roughly 2.74 percent annual dollar inflation rate over the intervening 37 years comes to about $2,300,000 in today’s money. Even more incredibly, Tinubu claimed that he was awarded such a bonus when he was essentially less than 5 years into his career as an accountant, never mind making Partner.

While the interview in question contains several other giant fibs, this one stands out specifically, because it is the first time in the Tinubu story where he himself acknowledges and tries to explain the fact that he once had a lot more money than a simple accountant working a 9-5 consultancy job could reasonably account for at that point in his career. This point becomes more important later in this story.

In any case, one does not need an economic study or a Glassdoor salary survey to establish that Tinubu was blatantly lying about where the “$1.8 million” sitting in his account came from. A document whose existence has long been teased and rumoured, but never quite properly dissected in the public domain tells us all we need to know.

This document, which was obtained from the US District Court of the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, contains damning information that Tinubu has spent the past 30 years trying to suppress, undermine and ignore.

Uploaded in full and publicly accessible here, the document contains a comprehensive federal indictment and associated case files from July 1993 containing clear and incontrovertible evidence that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was once in fact, a bagman handling and laundering proceeds of heroin trafficking for a Nigerian drug ring in Chicago.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Liverpool dominated but it all changed when Sancho scored a well-worked goal in the 12th minute.

Fred netted another barely 20 minutes after the first and Martial made it 3 three minutes later.

The first half ended 3 nil in favor of Manchester United.



Liverpool started the second half with the mindset of coming back into the game bringing in their first-team players. They pressed for some time but 20-year-old Facundo Pellestri got another goal making it 4 nil.

The game ended 4 nil in favor of Manchester United. Hopefully, they will keep this new form and style of play throughout the 2022/2023 season.
