Nigerians are really the Big Brother of Africa, the fight is between South Africa and Africans as a whole, but the whole of Africa has rallied behind Nigerians

The bolded is a scam, met to only be on papers. She lost that title long time ago. Which Africa countries are behind Nigeria. Hope you are not referring to Ghana, etc.

Factboyz1:
Because you make a living... Let the government provide jobs for these youths

What a government. You can't provide or create enabling environment for job creation. Yet you won't allow the poor to be their own government in peace. If they go the other ways now. You will still complain

EFCC is just acting like they are working to please US. Thanks to FBI for even giving them this assignment. By the way, US has also fingered some politicians long ago. When we those be included in your hunt list?!

If Buhari commits suicide, will he die??

No
Though, He would rather kill himself than commit suicide

OpenYourEyes1:
I think it is enough to confess your sin privately to GOD. After confessing your sin, you could meet those you offended and ask for forgiveness.

The problems with this present day religious congratulations branding themselves as "Christians" is over religiousness & over concentration on doctrines over Jesus's teachings.
Jesus said, confess your sins to God & make amends with the offended. In extremity, He even said when someone offend you. You should make amends with the person before presenting your offering to God.

Palm wine might be known as a local alcoholic drink which has a sweet taste when freshly tapped and is enjoyed by as many that loved it either when sweet or sour, thus refreshing them all the time but it is really more than that!.

In as much as it does all of the above, most people still fail to understand that palm wine contains rich nutrients which provide the body with lots of amazing benefits which are discussed below.


Here are surprising health benefits of Palm wine you may not know


1. Improves Eye Vision

This is one of the primary functions of palm wine which many people are aware of but may not really know what nutrients actually does the work. The presence of the vitamins in palm wine such as vitamin C and B’s have a vital role which they play in improving eye vision.

While vitamin C helps in building the connective tissues of the body and the blood vessels of the eye preventing related eye problems like cataracts, macular degeneration etc., Vitamin B1 and B12 help in solving vascular related issues that concern the retina which could result in chronic inflammation and more.

Generally, vitamins help in keeping the eye healthy and reduces the chances of getting eye problems as much as possible.

Potassium also helps in keeping the eye healthy and moist as its deficiency can cause eye twitches or eye muscle spams as a result of eye dryness caused by the lack of potassium.

This benefits can’t be gotten from any other alcoholic beverage even those that promise it does, and this could be the sole reason people who live in the villages, especially our grandparents, tend to have a better eyesight due to their intake of palm wine which seems to be their top alcoholic drink.

2. Build the Body’s Structure

Protein is an essential nutrient which the body cannot do without, and palm wine contains lots of amino acids whose main function is to act as the building block of the macro-nutrient - Protein.

Thus, it helps in building and improving the body cells and as well help to store nutrients in the body which is vital for the functions of the body’s organ. It also plays a major role in the repairing of the body’s tissues, structures of the bones and muscles.

3. Improves Hair and Skin

Palm wine does more than is expected of it, it contains nutrients which helps in nourshing the skin, the hair and even the nails (fingers and toes alike), such as the vitamins, zinc, magnesium and others which plays a very important role in the improvement.

It also helps in the promoting of new body cells by removing the dead cells in the body and replacing it, thereby giving the skin a soft, smooth and better appearance.

4. Used to Treat Skin Rashes

In most places, palm wine can be used externally in the treatment of skin conditions such as rashes, ezcema etc., especially in small children. It is done by rubbing the affected areas with un-adultered palm wine, its content of vitamins will help soothe the skin and relieve such skin issues.

5. Increases Breast Milk

This is one of the functions of palm wine in the body which most people especially those in the villages are aware of. Though it is widely belived that taking of palm wine help increase breast milk in lactating mothers but scientifically, it hasn’t be proven.

But still, that doesn’t make the saying all wrong as most of the diseases and cure for the treatment of various health conditions are from naturally occurring plants and vegetations which our forefathers have practically been using.

Palm wine has long served as the main beverage for lactating mothers in many African countries like Nigeria, Cameroon, etc., where it is mostly cultivated and can be easily gotten, and have been locally proven to help mothers whose breast milk are low by increasing the flow for adequate breastfeeding.

6. Improves Heart Health

Its potassium content makes it a good source of drink to help combat various related cardiovascular diseases. Potassium is good for the body and helps it function better, and the expected level in the body is between 3.5 and 5 mmol/L.

It helps the nerves and muscles to function well and as such helps in normalizing the rate at which the heart beats and well helps in reducing or lowering the blood pressure.

Palmwine should be taken in moderation to provide the heart and the entire body with the potassium it needs as either too much (hyperkalemia) or low (hypokalemia) content of potassium in the body can cause irregular heartbeats which can lead to serious and deadly health problems.

7. Fights Cancer

Food rich in antioxidant properties is known to help in reducing cancer risk, as they help prevent oxidation processes in the body which could cause some chemical reactions in the body thereby leading to damages of vital organs and cells, ulcer, inflammation etc.

Palm wine contains antioxidants which help prevent the free radicals from damaging the cells in the body and fight cancer. Example of such antioxidant in palm wine is vitamin B2 (Riboflavin).

Nutritional Values of Palm Wine

It may not be surprising to say that palm wine contains sugar, bacteria and yeast (which causes fermentation), but it is surprising when nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, vitamin C, Amino acids, potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, vitamin B’s are mentioned but it surely contains them all and even more yet to be proven.

Where Palm Wine can be found!

Palm wine is a common traditional alcoholic drink in the tropical areas due to the favourable climate and is widely cultivated in West and central Africa like Nigeria, the Caribbeans and Asia, and even some parts of South America.

In Nigeria, it is mainly found in the tropical regions such as the Southeast, South-west and South-south, and their favourable climate and weather condition is suitable for its growth in such areas.

Kinds of Palm Wine

Most people may not know that palm wine comes in various taste and flavours, especially as a result of geographical areas which can be attributed to many factors like soil type, climate condition, and others.

Majorly, the Nigerian palm wine is gotten from the oil palm tree and Raffia palm by palm wine tappers, but in various Africa countries and other areas where it is found, there could be other different types of palm.

a. Palm wine from the oil palm tree is called “nkwu enu” in Igbo, “emu” in Yoruba.

b. Another kind of palm known as “iti” is common in Anambra state and involving the tapping of palm wine from the stem of the oil palm tree, it is also known as Stem tapping.

c. Raffia palm wine is tapped from the raffia tree and is known as “Ngwo” in Igbo, “Ukot” in Efik and “Ogoro” in Yoruba.

d. Another type of palm wine is gotten from felling the palm tree and is known as “down-wine”, it is common in Ghana and in some parts of Cross River like Boki LGA but abolished by the government as it discourages forestation.

In some countries of the world, it is known with different names such as “Mbu” in Cameroon, “Ukwu or Ngwo” in Igbo (Nigeria),” Doka” in Ghana, “Panam culloo” in China, “Emu” in Yoruba (Nigeria), “Lambanog” in the Philippines, and more.

Side Effects

In as much as palm wine is vital for our health, and is being recommended by many because of its nutritional benefits, yet it should not be taken in excess especially when it has undergone fermentation.

As it can result in hypertension, neurological problems and can as well lead to failure of the body’s vital organs such as the liver and kidney, alcohol content in fermented palm wine is 2 or 3 times more than that in other alcoholic drinks which gives the liver work overload while trying to detoxify the system.

Many local gins can be produced from palm wine too depending on the duration of the fermentation process which still have adverse reactions to the body when taken in excess.

Conclusion

Palm wine is more than just a refreshing drink and is rich in minerals and vitamins that helps to provide the body with the necessary nutrients which prevent deficiencies and improves the hair, skin, fight cancer, improve vision and promotes heart health.

Today is Saturday known for various kinds of celebrations in Nigeria. Let's help people make the best choice of drinks to go for in the occasion today.

Zinny25:
Do such men exist

infact since i was born and now that I'm getting old, I have never seen a man like that

sisters have you seen ooo

Yes it does exist. Personal experience. I got into a date with such promise not because I'm innocent but based on principle. And guess what?! She turned around to start begging for it. Hear her reason: She said she wanted to be sure I was for real hence the approach. Now she isn't no longer comfortable with it. She is feeling unsecure because I might be easily tempted by other girls. Secondly, she needs to bond properly with me, and she also needs to quinch her urge. Na me come begin stand for agreement na agreement oh. It is very possible for a guy to abstain, and a girl that haven't seen that, well may have attracted what they get.
A man that can't hold himself will face big issues maritally.

Yes oh

There was a country

Anything to strengthen the country. Meanwhile, some other count- are busy looking for way to do the opposite.

Snails in parade ground. Lol

Sorting process before delivery. Quality is what we offer

Story!!!
Anyways, it is good to appears what you're not to those that can be deceived. Who will prevent them from entering. You guys that collect Roger at the entering point?!

Okay

My prayer is that those behind the release without proper trial be a victim by the same guy.

That which humbles every mortal with total disregards to financial status, beauty, brains, strength, weakness, young, old, etc. May it be far from our doorsteps this year.

Condolences to you. It shall be well

Felixamos:
Lol.. Please by all means, school me... I'd love to learn from u.. I hate empty words... So if you really think you can educate me in online business please teach me... And if your lesson is educative, I'd come back here to mention your name with a big thank you...

I've learnt one thing in life. To always seek even for that which I already know. Because there might be another edge to a corner. So, we will exchange knowledge. "KIV"

Felixamos:
Lol... OK I get that part... Who told you I support currupt govt officials? Have you gone through my comments on nairaland? There is no justifiable reason whatsoever for a man who indulges him himself in criminal activities like madume... You talk of the country subjecting people to crime, why hasn't it subjected you to crime? The same country that subjected some people to crime, made some of us legit hustlers and investors doubled our hustle... The country is fvcked up I know but it shouldn't be used as an excuse to commit crime... Lastly, you must know how and when to market your products.. You shouldn't have started your advert with those lines. That was where I had issues with u... And yes I wish him nothing but death... How could any sane human being come out to say he is not a kidnapper but he supplies arms to robbers and kidnappers and let me guess, they use this arms and guns to hunt for animals? Of course not!!... Did you know how many innocent lives have been lost as a result of his actions?... And I should wish him long life? Crap!!

Not everyone has the big brains to take advantage of Nigeria's disabilities into money making. We don't all have the same levels of exposures & of course resistance to evil. Even though, it isn't an excuse for going into crime none an excuse for government to keep misbehaving. The government can't totally play innocent of the guy's deeds, after all. They need his services to get to power by force. The bitter truth is, the man will be set freed. Welcome to Nigeria!

Felixamos:
Lol... Why you dey write like small pikin na! Do you know stuffs I do online? Lol you funny... I Modified the post you quoted... Do ensure to read up the modified one.. It seems like you're just making money online for the first time hence your excitement...

Lol. . .Online has a way of concealing people's true identity. Have you heard of chains of businesses online & offline. I will school you in online matters. Well, enjoy your Nairaland comment section.

Felixamos:
Lol... Hope you're well oh!! OK I understand the mention now... Your advert was uncalled for.. We are discussing something serious and you are trying to advertise your drugs to an evil man who deserves death.. It doesn't make sense... Lol... The bolded though.. You think you are more educated than I am?

Ask yourself if the man would be reading my post. If not indirectly targeted at you & others that read it. Secondly, you wish a man that allegedly did "crime" death even without trial. Yet you unwavering support politicians who stole the past, present & the future. The bad government system that may have subjected the man into "crime". Forget the comparison in the levels of education. It is the Nigeria certificate that is less that a tissue paper you want to compare mine with?! Online is really without face.

Felixamos:
Lol... Hope you're well oh!!

Perfectly well. The more reasons i make my time spent online strictly based on ROI. I don't buy data or populate Nairaland for nothing. In case you don't know. Our membership & activities on this platform brings millions to the owner Mr. Osewa. If you're still coming here to just mention to insult & read for fun since your registration in 2013. Then I would need to return the sense you gave me earlier out of pity. Because You would need it desperately. For me, it is a win win for me & Mr. Osawa. Now, I need to attend to those referred by the little publicity you faulted. Don't border paying me for the lesson. It's my way of giving back to the society. Goodnight.

If you like create whatever you like. Until you allow qualified & passionate persons get into the force with the willingness to serve. The rest is history.

Profile of the Current policemen
* Those that got in because they couldn't secure a "job"
* Those favoured with the slots of their politician uncle
* Those that were recruited just to keep their tribes as majority & the hope to produce the IG.
* Those that need to legalization & formalized robery with the uniform.
* Those that have been branded stubborn & hostile by the community.

Feel free to add yours. . . .

martineverest:
u think EFCC have access to such facilities and funds like FBI?? u think CIA,FBI and NSA are as small as efcc?...u think the budget if efcc is as large as that of FBI?....or have u forgotten that social media is majorly owned by US companies??

u think GOogle, Microsoft, Facebook etc will allow efcc to access their database?

Nice trial in defense.
Are you also saying the same EFCC couldn't nailed Gan-Dolar, etc because they didn't have access to Google, Facebook, data base? How come their powers are unstable like NEPA. By going after certain persons & very weak with others? Give EFCC all the equipments & resources of FBI & CIA combine. They will still be a weakling simply because they are just a mere political tools. FBI & CIA will rather go after the big shots to end
a trend. But EFCC will prepare those petty thieves leaving the major sponsors like they have been doing picking 30, 80, 1000 boys from different locations. Yet the numbers are still rising daily. Whatever happens to cutting deals with the boys to trace the oga. Oh. They can't because the oga even with evidence is branded untouchable. This money goes through the banks. The banks are regulated by CBN, yet you said they are limited. Oga that excuse for them nor follow. Can you also say that Nigeria have a police force now?! Just because you see some "mad persons" in blacks parading around with guns?

I wish Nigeria well. And those who keep having hopes that things will get better in Nigeria someday.
