Foreign AffairsRe: Lebanon's Attack Was Small, Didn't warrant A Retaliation - Trump Tells Israel by Ikosa1: 11:01pm On Jun 14
Good job Israel. Donald Trump is beginning to to show signs of capitulation, why start the war when u know u can't withstand d consequences that ll follow. He only knows how to make treats no one takes him serious again.

Don't blame Israel Donald Trump is not familiar with middle east affair than Israel. Don't romance terrorists follow them fire for fire that's the only language they understand.

HealthRe: That Pot Belly Is Not Always “good Living” — It Might Be Hormones by Ikosa1: 10:31am On Jun 12
I'm in my late 40s I eat anything drink beer I eat mostly late at night but if u see my 6pacs u ll admire it reason Is because I engage in regular exercise.
ChidiebereS:
Before some people attack me, just hear this out.

Most men think that as they grow older, especially after marriage or reaching their 40s, it is normal to develop one “chief commander” pot belly. We even joke about it and call it “evidence of enjoyment” or “good living.”

But what if I told you that in many cases, that belly is not just ordinary fat?

According to health discussions, constant consumption of sugar, bread, soft drinks, noodles, pastries, rice, and other refined carbs can keep insulin levels high for too long.

And when insulin stays high, something interesting happens.

The body increases an enzyme called aromatase, which can convert testosterone (male hormone) into estrogen.

Meaning:

More belly fat = More aromatase
More aromatase = More estrogen
More estrogen = More belly fat

Na loop be that shocked

And this may explain why some men with stubborn pot bellies also struggle with:

❌ Low energy
❌ Low drive
❌ Reduced performance
❌ Constant tiredness

The surprising part?

Some experts argue that endless sit-ups may not be the real solution. The bigger issue could be insulin resistance and diet.

Simple changes people often discuss include:

✔ Reducing sugar
✔ Cutting down refined starch
✔ Avoiding late-night heavy meals
✔ Eating more intentionally

I recently came across a short whiteboard video that breaks this down in a very simple way — the hormone cycle, why belly fat keeps returning, and what may help stop it.

Watch the full video here and tell us if you agree or disagree:

After watching, do you think the average Nigerian diet is silently causing pot bellies in men, or na just normal aging and enjoyment? grin

Speedstar7:
I am still a student of the university of uyo 25 years of age, I am writing this with deep pains in my heart . Our tenant ( a single mother) in our compound has a 19 year old daughter who stays with her father in another town oku iboku. She do occasionally visit her mother and spend at least a month with her mother (she's in ss3 though),Well when she do come to see her mother I normally don't talk to her because of my introvertedness untill she started asking wether I have a girlfriend, talking about sex etc it then got to a point she indirectly asked me to sex her. After the first sex we started having sex almost throughout that month last year ... I later proceeded in asking her out of which she agreed. Her mother bought a phone before she returned to the place she is schooling ( she wants to write waec) fast forward today she came two weeks ago.. she has stopped giving me attention and sex, most of the time ignores me as if I don't exist. I even overhead a guy asking wether she has seen her period on phone
I am so heartbroken... This is my first ever relationship, she kinda approach me first although indirectly I was kinda thinking it will last. She left today.... Please advise me it's really tough
