Health › Re: Cancer: Does Trado-Medicine Really Help ? by JuanDeDios: 1:36pm On Aug 09
Hayzed203:
Hello here,

So I have a very dear family (80+ man) who has been diagnosed with stage-iv Prostate Cancer that has metastasise into the bones. Currently unable to walk but still able to stand with limited aid.

The medical treatment pathway is to kill the testicles the prostate is feeding on and treat the symptoms (palliative care). Now, a lot of people are coming around with knowing someone who helped someone managed it well with herbs and all for years.

I know I will take on any treatment to ensure we can keep him for as long as possible but the explanation from trado-medicinal people is not just adding up to me. If you can cure it in 1month and charging only 200k, I don't think anyone will still be going to the hospital plus with this current stage too.

what do you all think ?
Who knows? All we have is anecdotal evidence. No studies. But it's a fact that some people have got relief from using herbs.

But stage 4 though. Our people need to normalise going for regular checks - especially once you cross 40.

EFCC is totally compromised, they turned blind eyes to all the sleaze in the office of Chief of Staff to the President on PFIPC saga. They turned blind eyes to Yaya Bello's B70 billion fraud. They turned blind eyes to gross mismanagement of public funds across all APC states, then Osun is their target.
Really? Which sleaze? Lol.

So what does Fufu and Egusi gives to the body? I will like to know? Protein, Carbohydrates or Fiber?
Fufu = carbs
Egusi = healthy fats.
Good combo, if you add meat/fish.
Portion control is key.

The cheat code is to build lean muscle mass, this acts as a strong sponge to mop up blood sugar (glucose) very efficiently. Even when the body is inactive, the muscles are still actively using the glucose and burning fats.

Beans is still a very healthy affordable source of protein. It is also plant-based.
You mean by exercising?

Tinapa was a tragic mistake - the kind our leaders make often. I'm sure Mr Duke regrets it.

Even Mr Tinubu knows this is not how to govern a country. He recently called out governors for building flyovers where they aren't needed. He forgot universities in states with insufficient or ill-equpped primary schools and secondary schools. He did not mention the obsession with cargo airports among our governors. And, of course, the president did not mention his own elephant superhighways that are squeezing the country dry and gulping truckloads of loans.

Well, he won't.

When I first stumbled upon this news, I thought the daredevils swam across the Mediterranean sea into the country. Only later that I discovered that these guys technically never left the continent. That town they're calling Spanish is in African territory, located physically and geographically on the African continent. If you don't want anybody trespassing in your "country", why not give the land back to the original owners?
Just curious. Who are the ORIGINAL owners of Ceuta?

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Customs To Begin Yearly Hiring, Open 2026 Recruitment Soon by JuanDeDios: 3:34pm On Aug 04
Newsgeek24:
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced that it will now conduct recruitment exercises every year, ending the long-standing practice of recruiting personnel at irregular intervals.

Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, disclosed the new policy on Tuesday while briefing journalists at the Service Headquarters in Abuja during the presentation of the final list of successful candidates for the 2024/2025 recruitment exercise.

According to Adeniyi, the annual recruitment model is designed to improve workforce planning, ensure timely replacement of retiring officers and provide young Nigerians with regular opportunities to join the Service.

He explained that the NCS had abandoned the previous system under which recruitment exercises were held only after several years, leaving many applicants uncertain about when fresh vacancies would be announced.

"The Nigeria Customs Service is moving to an annual recruitment cycle. Recruitment will no longer be an occasional exercise conducted every few years. It will become a regular and predictable yearly process," Adeniyi said.

He revealed that preparations for the 2026 recruitment exercise are already underway, adding that the next exercise is expected to commence later this year and be concluded within the same calendar year.

According to him, the lengthy duration of the 2024/2025 recruitment process resulted largely from the establishment of new recruitment systems and procedures that would support future exercises.

He said the Service invested considerable time in developing a comprehensive screening, verification and selection framework, stressing that subsequent recruitment exercises would be completed much faster because the necessary structures were now in place.

"The systems, screening architecture and verification processes built during this exercise now exist and will not need to be recreated. Much of the delay experienced in this cycle was the cost of building that framework, and that investment has now been made," he stated.

Adeniyi noted that the new annual recruitment policy would enable the Service to proactively fill vacancies created by retirements and other exits instead of waiting until manpower shortages become critical.

He added that the initiative would also benefit job seekers by giving them certainty about future recruitment opportunities.

"An annual recruitment cycle benefits both the Service and applicants. It allows us to plan our workforce more effectively while giving unsuccessful applicants a clear idea of when the next opportunity will arise instead of waiting several years for another exercise," he said.

The Comptroller-General also announced the successful conclusion of the 2024/2025 recruitment exercise, revealing that 3,852 candidates had been offered appointments into the Service.

He said 1,275 candidates were recruited into the Superintendent Cadre, 367 into the Inspectorate Cadre, while 2,210 secured appointments in the Customs Assistant Cadre.

The recruitment exercise attracted thousands of applications from Nigerians seeking employment in the paramilitary agency.

Mtn,Stanbic IBTC bank,protea hotels, ShopRite and other SA companies in Nigeria should be sold to Nigerian owners.

They say Nigerians are drug dealers but who are the people buying those drugs if not South Africans.
Bad idea. Do you know the economic and security ramifications if the government moves against those companies? And they will sue and the government will likely lose.

However, individual boycott is fine.

This sort of thing happens a lot in Nigeria.

Back in the day, there was a mallam I used to buy roasted chicken from at Ojodu. One day, he didn't have any. I went back the following day, and he still didn't have. I asked him why he didn't have while some of his colleagues had. He said something about his conscience not allowing him to to do certain bad things. I later figured out that some of his colleagues were sourcing and using dead chickens.
