As one advances in age, it’s vital for one to pay adequate attention to several things including one’s body. Food helps us to maintain life and growth, in the same vein, when we do not eat or eat unhealthy foods, life’s quality and growth are affected.

It’s pertinent to make deliberate and positive lifestyle changes as you attain adulthood. Some nutritionists have highlighted 10 foods individuals who are 40 and above should avoid.

A nutritionist, James Oloyede, says that people who are 40 years-old and above should take their diet seriously and be intentional about what they eat.

Oloyede adds, “There is no particular class of food that one can avoid entirely because if one does not eat it in one form, one will eat it in another but there are some foods that should be minimised and some that should be totally avoided.”



Avoid refined carbohydrates

Oloyede explains that refined carbohydrates are foods that contain a high glycemic index and increase the blood sugar level of the consumers.

“By this we mean foods such as pasta, pancakes, doughnuts, cookies and the rest. Even in some countries, the rule is to reduce the consumption of white bread because they contain high glycemic index because they rapidly increase blood sugar.

These have also been associated with heart diseases, weight gain, diabetes among others,” the nutritionist said.

Oyedele also cautions individuals aged 40 and above who still consume processed diet of being at the risk of having acne, otherwise known as black head or pimples.

“If you cannot completely eliminate it, it should be drastically reduced. It should be an occasional food, once in a blue moon and not incorporated into the daily diet,” he adds.

Supporting Oloyede’s position, another nutritionist, Olusola Malomo, adds that “White bread and pastas artificial sweeteners, foods containing monosodium glutamate, saturated fats and cholesterol should be avoided.’’

Processed meat

Every processed meat such as sausages, ham, hot dog, contains unhealthy fat that has an impact on the hydration of the body and promotes early onset of wrinkles.

Oloyede adds, “It can also cause inflammation associated with arthritis in old age. As one grows up, arthritis sets in. Part of the preservative agent when in the body breaks down to what is called nitrosamine chemicals which have been identified to be cancer inducing if they are above permissible levels. You can never tell (the quantity of the chemicals in the product), it could be an accident, deliberate, and individual tolerance also differs so it is better you avoid things like that by the time you are 40 and above.”

Fast foods

Oloyede notes that fast foods are not friendly to people above 40. He explains that fast foods contain a lot of ingredients in several quantities, adding that some of them can be unhealthy.

He also adds that they contain sugar, fats, nitrite, sodium, among others which have negative health consequences.

Fruit juices

Oloyede and Malomo both agree that consumption of fruit juices by those in their 40’s and above is unhealthy.


Oloyede states that regardless of the ingredients and benefits marketed, people in this age group should avoid it.

He adds, “It is more of fructose and it contains a lot of sugar, for those who have the tendency to develop diabetes; that can accentuate it in the real sense of it.’’

Also, because it is a fruit juice, the fibre has been removed and fibre helps to aid digestion and it’s laxative in nature and needful in the bowel. “The sugar and other added preservatives are also reasons to be wary of taking this,” Oloyede adds.

Reduce alcohol consumption

Malomo states that alcohol should be avoided.

Oloyede adds that it should be totally avoided or drastically reduced. They explain that alcohol intake affects proper hydration in the body. They note, “It sucks out water from various part of the body which then affects its elasticity and the end result is wrinkles all over the individual’s body.’’


Though chicken consumption is encouraged, individuals in this category are advised to remove the skin before consumption especially when fried. This would reduce the consumption of cholesterol which leads to artery and consequently heart disease.

Avoid sugar

As one advances in age, the nutritionist advises that one cuts down on sugar intake, especially processed sugar.

“When you’re above 40, there is nothing you should be doing with sugar anymore. Sugar itself causes inflammation which inhibits having a clear and beautiful skin because it damages elastin which promotes elasticity of the skin, bringing about wrinkles early in life,” Oloyede adds.

Shun energy drink

Energy drinks contain a lot of caffeine, high sodium among other components which are harmful to health. Its accumulation in the body system over time forms toxins and when the body can no longer handle it, becomes harmful and this can reduce the lifespan of the individual.

Baked foods

Baked foods such as cakes are high in sugar and fat and should not be taken according to cravings to promote longevity.

Limit egg, milk consumption

It is pertinent to reduce the quantity of milk with saturated fat and also the number of eggs eaten per day. If this is not done, such individuals will have lots of fat in their system, issues with their gut and consistent diarrhea.

Oloyede advocates a return to a regional diet that includes natural and unprocessed foods, fruits and vegetables as well as foods high in protein.

MrBrownJay1:
OP change your title to "supposedly cheating husband"
as much as it is not a sign of cheating if your husband drives with a lady (it could have been his sister/mother or simply a colleague), her reaction is the reason why she is where she is....thus BOTH should be blamed!

(it could have been his sister/mother or simply a colleague),

Do you think the man will zoom off if it's one of the aforementioned? Do u also think the "side chick" will run away immediately after the accident?

If the man's hands are clean, why running?

This write up is one of the reasons for the dichotomy between B.Sc. and HND.

The late British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, known titularly as Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death in 2022, did not fail to leave her footprints on Nigerian soil as some schools in the world’s most populous black nation even till date are in her name and honour. Though aged, many of these schools are surviving legacies of the great monarch and serve not only to commemorate her ascent to the throne but to also celebrate her life.

[b]There are at least two such schools in the country— Queen Elizabeth Secondary School and the Queen’s School Ibadan/Ede, which was established to commemorate her ascension to the throne in 1952.

In the city of Ilorin lies the Queen Elizabeth Secondary School, named after the late Queen, established May 21, 1956 by the then Northern Region Government under the leadership of the late Premier of the Region, Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto.

At the time, there was a clamour to provide a sound education for girls in the region as well as improve the girl-child education; this is observed to have come at a time when girls were abstained by their parents from formal education because of the then societal standards.

Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of England, unveiled the plaque which commemorated the official opening of Queen Elizabeth School, Ilorin, 66 years ago. The monarch’s idea was for the school to be the best in the country for the education and moral training of the girl child.

On our correspondent’s visit to Ilorin, the current principal of the school, Hajia Lawal, disclosed that the school was planning to organise a commendation service in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Lawal said, “The school is organising a programmeme in remembrance of the Queen. We will be celebrating the late Queen at the school on September 19 by organising a special programmeme for her late majesty. It will feature a playlet titled, “Her Royal Majesty’s visit to Ilorin in 1957,” the students’ choir and the old students’ choir will render special hymns at the occasion and the State Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has approved the programme and will be in attendance. Old Students of the school have also sent tributes which will be displayed. The play will tell us the history of the Queen and the role played by the Queen. Our teachers and our students will participate in the programme. The school will reopen on September 19.
[/b]
“Queen Elizabeth School Ilorin is the only school named in honour of Queen Elizabeth II, other schools such as Queen’s College and Queen’s School scattered in various parts of the country do not bear the late Queen’s name.

“It was established by the late Premier of the Northern region, Sir Ahmadu Bello. He conceived the idea of bringing the girls in the Northern region together. The Queen visited the school in company of Sir Ahmadu Bello and the then Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Shuaibu Abdulkadir I, when she visited Nigeria, however, when the Queen visited Nigeria in 1957, she was brought to visit the 56 pioneer students in the school and she officially laid the foundation of the school, and it was named in her honour.”

Lawal who is an old student of the school, from the class of 1976/1981 revealed that the school community comprising the management, staff, students and the old students were devastated by the news of the death of the Queen.

“We are all devastated about the death of her majesty but we are consoled because it was a life well spent. So far so good, she was the longest serving Monarch in the history of Great Britain. She ascended the throne at the age of 26 and spent 70 good years as Queen and head of the Commonwealth of Nations.

“This is what we should give glory to God for. We are happy that she lived an exemplary life in uniting Commonwealth Nations and her reign was very peaceful and witnessed many good things. What everyone prays for is to have a long and eventful life, although we were devastated that she was no more with us but all her good work remains with us. We will be present at the Queen’s funeral and our old students in England will all be at the funeral.

“Our immediate former Principal, Hajia Rahmat AbdulRahman, has told me that she will attend the funeral. She will represent me and she promised that she would send me the photographs,” she said.

The school’s Vice Principal, Administration, Hajia Abdulkareem Titilola and the Vice Principal, Students Affairs, Hajia Jimoh Suliat, said that the staff and students will participate actively in the programme to honour the Queen, showcase their talents, contributions made by the Queen and the lessons learned from her lifetime.

Morned like our mother

They said, “When the Queen died, we were devastated and we mourned her like our own mother. We have missed the Queen. Even mere mentioning the name of the Queen has lifted the school and that has earned us a lot of respect from people.

An old student of the school, simply identified as Jimoh, said “the old students will be collaborating with the government in the commemoration service to give the Queen a befitting burial. The old students in Kwara and other parts of the country will also be coming together to honour the Queen.”

The school principal noted the prestige and benefits the name “Queen Elizabeth” had afforded the school over the years.

She said, “The name has attracted government patronage and many others, some old students have brought many things to the school. The school is owned by the 19 Northern states but Kwara state is the custodian of the school.

“Sir Ahmadu Bello wanted the girls in the Northern region to come together and share their individual cultural values and he actually brought girls from different cultures together, the Walis, Tukurs etc. We even have expatriate students from Pakistan, India; South Africa and many others. Since we all have different cultural backgrounds, the school was established to promote unity; it has fulfilled this purpose since its establishment.”

Located in Ede, the former outpost of the powerful Oyo empire, now Osun state, stands the proud Queen’s School, established in 1952 under the British Colonial masters when the Late Queen Elizabeth II, ascended the throne to begin a reign which lasted 70 years.

It is worthy of note that the Queen’s School was created from the existing Queen’s College Lagos. The school, which is all-girls, was eventually relocated to Ibadan in 1967.

Our correspondent on a visit to the school spoke to some old students who said the late Queen would be missed by many.

Kemi Ajayi, an old student of 50 years, said “Our school was created out of the already existing Queen’s College Lagos. I think it was believed that some students were going to Queen’s College in Lagos from the hinterlands, so those who established the Queen’s School did so to reduce the need to travel long distances to go to school. The school was later relocated to Ibadan; we have the same anthem and school uniform till date.

Taught to be ladylike


Another old girl of the school, Doyin Akinlabi, told our correspondent that although the school did not teach them about the Queen, they were taught to behave like ‘ladies’ which she said was an attribute of the Queen.

She said, “I am happy to have passed through Queen’s School, Ibadan and the way we were made to believe and behave as queens. We were brought up to know that we should see ourselves as someone of importance, even those of us from a humble background.

“We were taught to always behave well. The whole world will miss the Queen and her impact in the lives of many people. Her ascension, we were told, was what led to the creation of our school. The world will miss her.”

In nostalgia, another old girl of the school, Funmi Showande, told our correspondent of the great impact the school made in the lives of many notable Nigerians.

Showande said, “There are many great persons who attended Queen’s School, Ibadan and this attests to the fact that we were well taught and our lives today are reflecting dedication, honesty and love.

“The Ebola heroine, Stella Adadevoh, who stopped the Liberian man who brought Ebola to Nigeria from spreading it to many more people was an old girl. There are judges, lawyers, doctors doing very well both in Nigeria and outside. The wife of the Ondo state Deputy Governor, Esther Aiyedatiwa attended Queen’s School as well.

“The Queen had a great influence on the way we were taught and made to behave. Although Queen Elizabeth was thousands of kilometres away from us, she seemed so close, especially on the day she died, she had almost become a permanent feature in the United Kingdom and it will take time to get used to her exit.”

An article, written by the Chairman, Queen School Old Girls Association Board of Trustees, Olufemi Ogunsanya, to commemorate the school’s 70th anniversary said in part, “Four pioneering students, along with four pioneering teachers, moved from Queen’s College Lagos to the newly established Queen’s School at Ede, a town in the old Western Region of Nigeria.

“The Western Regional government owned the school. The motto of Queen’s College Lagos was, and remains, “Pass On The Torch”! The torch of knowledge and wisdom was brought from Queen’s College, Yaba, Lagos to the sleepy town of Ede!

“A full school, with its traditions, moved Forms II to V to Ede in September 1951. The team was led by four pioneering teachers and Miss E. Hobson as Principal.

“Girls were brought up to be strong, confident, hardworking, articulate and yet remain “fine” dignified ladies. Girls were taught etiquette, how to sit and walk “like a lady.

“Queen’s School, Ede was noted for a well-rounded education Outside of academics girls had to learn to sew, cook, garden, dance, sing, participate in sports, drama, Girl Guides, Literary and Debating Societies and even had phonetics classes. Girls were groomed to be well-rounded women! No wonder many of the Alumnae turned out to be renowned doctors, professors (a set boasted of as many as 10 professors!), Engineers, Vice-Chancellors, Lecturers, Permanent Secretaries, Special Assistants, Commissioners, Deputy Governors, Judges, Lawyers, etc.”

In a related development, the ex-presidential aspirant of the Young Progressives Party, Adamu Garba, advised President Muhammadu Buhari a day after the passing of the Queen, to rename the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, to Queen Elizabeth University of Nigeria, to immortalise the late monarch.

A distinguishing factor observed by our correspondent from these schools is the featured use of blue and white, which denotes ‘Royalty’, with the colour blue being the favourite colour of the late monarch.

Curvy babes

Can I get a mini bus (korope) for #10k?

OSUigboFlatHead:
It's a WHORÈ, SLÚT, OLOSHO and
FISH BRAIN GENERATION OF GIRLS.

An average Nigerian girl these days within 18 - 28 have between 3 - 8 bodycount.
Note, I SAID AVERAGE. This bodycount includes at least one married man.
I know a WHORĒ personally whom you'd think is a very decent girl but when we hacked through her WhatsApp, this girl has slept with at least 7 people just within 7 months last year when we checked, including with 3 married men, and has done one abortion. This girl has at least 20 bodycount!!! Her parents are okay and religious but they don't even have a clue about what she's doing and what she has done.


MOST OF THEM ARE SHAMELESS TO DRESS ANYHOW BUT EVEN MANY OF THE ONES THAT DRESSES MODESTLY HER WHORÈS.

I'm not even talking about runs girl and girls you know that does HOOKUPS.

I'm still just referring to girls like:
Your sisters
Your cousins
Your fiancée
Your girlfriend etc.

If I may ask, how do u know the body count? I'm curious!

yesloaded:
Drivers needs to get sense & avoid breaking traffic rules anyhow

Lagos state government needs to stop this barbaric act of auctioning people's vehicle anyhow

Jail term with option of fine is ok and any offenders jailed suppose to have their vehicle back

It's crazy to jail a man for 3yrs but still auction his vehicle

My advise to those who lives in Lagos feeding hand to mouth is that they should return to their hometown or relocate to another state, Lagos is not for everyone (this might sound harsh but it's bitter truth). When I see the kind of lives some people lives in lagos, I do tell myself that it's better to be farming in one's village than living a miserable life like this in the city

I will not succumb to the relocation, they will constitute nuisance again in their host states. Let them go back to wherever they come from.


A lot of abokis riding okadas here in my country home (Ilorin) are nuisance, they are reckless and u dare not complain, they are ready to fight u with the last drop of blood in their vain.

I don't even want to talk about the KEKE NAPEP. Most of these KEKE NAPEP riders were from Lagos State

nkemoma:

A tailor and part-time commercial motorcyclist, Wahab Hammed, was recently paraded by the Osun State Police Command, alongside his friend, Ayobami Adegoke, for allegedly killing a fellow suspected Internet fraudster, Wasiu Oguntade, in Modakeke, Osun State. In this interview with BOLA BAMIGBOLA, Hammed explains what transpired

Where are you from and what do you do for a living?

I am a resident of Modakeke, Osun State. I am a tailor. But whenever I don’t have work to do in my shop, I usually engage in commercial motorcycle operation. I am a native of Modakeke. I attended secondary school but dropped out when I was in SS2.

Why did you stop schooling?

It is a long story. I just stopped for some reasons I don’t want to disclose.

Are you married?

I used to have a wife but she left me because I had an accident and the doctor handling my treatment said one of my hands would be amputated. When she heard that, she started misbehaving. I have a child through the marriage.

Why were you arrested?

We were arrested for killing my friend, Wasiu Oguntade. I was arrested with Ayobami (Adegoke) another friend of mine.

Who was Wasiu and what led to his death?

Wasiu was a friend to Sodiq, who is another friend of mine. So, I got to know him through Sodiq. Wasiu was a Yahoo boy and he had been doing it before we got to know each other about a year and three months ago. He was my friend too.

Why and how did you kill him?

What happened was that Ayobami and I killed Wasiu because he was always oppressing me with the proceeds of his Yahoo Yahoo activities. He was making good money from Yahoo Yahoo. I was into it too, but I was not so lucky. Whenever he made good money, he would come to me and be flaunting it. At times, he would even send me on errand because of the money he had made. One day, an evil plan formed in my mind and I decided to collect money from him. I didn’t plan to kill him.

What did you do?

The incident happened on Sunday, August 8, this year. We took him to a location far from our residential area in Modakeke under the guise of wanting to sell a parcel of land to him. He had informed me that he wanted to buy land and I told him that I had someone that could get a good location for him.

I got to know Ayo in town, while working as a commercial motorcyclist. We became friends because we were both commercial motorcyclists. I used to tell Ayo everything that was going on between Wasiu and me; how he was oppressing me with proceeds of the Yahoo Yahoo and all that. It was Ayo that suggested an idea that we could use to obtain money from him.

So when Wasiu called me that Sunday that he was ready to go and see the land I told him we had found, I immediately informed Ayo and he said I should bring him. Wasiu, Ayo and I went to a place a bit far from the residential area in Modakeke. We went on Wasiu’s motorcycle. Wasiu rode the motorcycle, while Ayo gave him the direction to follow. When we got to our destination, Ayo showed Wasiu the land and he checked round. He told us he would think about it before deciding what to do. He also said he would pay in installments. We were about to leave the area when Ayo held Wasiu from the back and hit him with a machete, cutting his head.

What do you mean cutting his head?

It was Ayo that killed him but I was present at the scene.

How were you arrested?

I went to Ipetumodu Police Station to report myself because Wasiu’s friend had called his line and Ayo was the one that picked the call and lied that Wasiu was involved in an accident in Ipetumodu.

We both went to the police station and my conscience was troubling me, because that was my first time of doing such a horrible thing. People were already suspecting me. Wasiu’s wife mentioned my name, that her husband told her he was coming to see me. But because Ayo lied that Wasiu was involved in accident in Ipetumodu, I thought that would cover me.

So, what happened?

When we got to Ipetumodu, Wasiu’s wife and his friend were with us. An Amotekun operative that saw us wandering around stopped us. He asked us what we were looking for and Ayo explained that we were looking for someone that had an accident, but the man said I was the first suspect because the missing person said he was coming to see me.

The Amotekun man, after asking few questions, said we should go to the police station to report and he immediately declared me the first suspect since I was the person that Wasiu told his wife he wanted to go and see before he went missing.

What happened at the police station?

When I got there, I could no longer hide what we did. I confessed to the police that Wasiu had been killed. Actually, we didn’t plan to kill him. We only planned to collect money from him but he didn’t bring money to the site as we had hoped. Again, Ayo felt he was suspecting us too. I never told Ayo to kill him and what he told me was that he did it because Wasiu was already suspecting us.

Why didn’t you stop Ayo from killing him?

It happened too suddenly; I didn’t expect it, since we didn’t plan to kill him. I had a burden on my conscience and that was why I had to confess, more so, because Wasiu’s wife and his friend were already insinuating that I could have put Wasiu in danger since I was the one he told them he wanted to visit. There was no way I could free myself from that allegation.

What happened after you confessed?

I knew I was in trouble when I was arrested. So, I just owned up and my conscience felt lighter.

After all, the purpose of going to school is to be able to survive, by working with the certificate and making money.

The sole aim of going to school is to become a functional member of the society, not only to put food on your table. Your certificate/education is not a waste, making comedy skits while in school is one of the inbuilt potentials unfolded in school.

May Almighty God see u and other jobless Nigerian graduates through. I feel your pains
