I'm not a fan of this govt but to be honest we have same quantity here in most supermarkets here in Germany. It's called buy the quantity you can eat. It's got nothing to do with the economy.

Mom007:
Whose idea was this? isn't it better to sell smaller loaves than selling this? It looks touched... tampered with. I wouldn't buy this, I hate to imagine others hands on my food.

OnionBandit:
Bazaar supermarket

I know this place. Owned by the Indians.

E no surprise me. In India, a bread can be cut into 10 and displayed for potential customers

ibechris:
People really don't understand how bad things have gotten in Nigeria.

Even middle-class stores are now finding ways to cater to customers that APC is pushing deeper into poverty.

Who would have ever imagined that supermarkets would start selling half loaves of bread?

Ahaa, Tinubu, you really did this one oh...

Fufu is dangerous, Eba can kill you!! Doctors make shocking discoveries about some favourite Nigerian foods that can send you to early grave- Details can save your life

While food is good for the body and necessary for survival, humans are also expected to be wary of the meals they ingest and the rate at which they consume them. Some types of food, if taken excessively, are capable of causing health risks. The onus is on you to learn why certain foods are unhealthy, why you shouldn’t take them and how you can make better choices on daily basis.

Here are some unhealthy meals Doctors have warned Nigerians to be cautious about their consumption:

Egusi soup:

At the mention of this soup, many will salivate as it is much-loved by many Nigerians… but hold that saliva. Egusi contains something called phytosterols which when consumed, compete with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive system.



Also, egusi has a high level of calories and when garnished with few chunks of stock fish and two pieces of meat, it has a total of roughly 700 calories per serving. Imagine consuming it with about 3 wraps of eba which is about 600 calories.

Loaf of sliced bread:

Bread is widely consumed daily across the country especially because it doesn’t have to be cooked before consumption. Bread belongs to the class of starchy foods and overt consumption increases the risk of getting diabetes.



If you are taking in 100 grams of bread, you are consuming 265 calories, especially if it is white bread. Some Nigerian-made breads are also not completely bromate free. Potassium bromate is added to help strengthen the bread dough and this chemical is cancerous. If you can steer off bread, there are other excellent choices that are low in carbs.

One minute Noodles:

While noodles can’t be called a Nigerian food, it has been adopted into Nigeria’s stream of foods such that it is consumed by both young and old. Nigerians go for noodles because it is cheap, easy and fast to cook, hence the name “instant noodles.”





Tests have revealed that noodles contain high sodium which aside being cancerous, causes heart disease and skin damage. Eating too much of noodles is bad for digestion and it also leads to obesity.

Eba:

Processed from cassava, garri is a food rich in carbohydrate; both the yellow and the white type. Garri helps to restore lost energy but a high rate of consumption does more harm than good. A cup of garri contains about 360 calories, 95% of which is carbohydrates and further consumption with soup, meat and/or fish, increases the level of calories.



Consuming a great deal of starchy foods like eba is like welcoming excess weight with open arms.

Fufu, made from cassava:

Fufu is another staple food made from cassava and its origin can be traced to Ghana. Fufu is of good nutritional value as it is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, potassium and low in cholesterol. Some are turned off by the smell that fufu gives and/or the fact that it takes longer time to digest.



Research has it that every part of cassava plant has a toxic chemical called Linamarin. This chemical, even after boiling the cassava, doesn’t change its state and this could be harmful during digestion.

Also, under-processing of fufu, which is rampant, has harmful implications on the health. This is because the cyanide content is not reduced to a non-toxic state. Women and children are susceptible to cyanide poisoning as they are usually the ones who carry out the processing of fufu.

Fried plantain:

There is a meme trending on social media about plantain which reads, “How can you say in good faith that the God who created plantain doesn’t love you?”. This is proof of the love people have for plantain. Granted, plantain is a good source of carbohydrates, vitamin B6, vitamin C and is also a natural remedy for peptic ulcer.



However, plantain contains a considerable amount of carbohydrates and more calories are produced when it is fried in oil. Also, the water content decreases when fried and this might not be satiating enough.

Integrating plantain into your diet is making way for ample calorie intake. Taking 100 grams of plantain is consuming about 30 grams of carbohydrates, 15 grams of sugar and 120 calories. Other methods of cooking plantain (aside frying) should be adopted if one cannot live without plantain.

Pastries:

There’s an endless list of flour-based pastries which are baked, fried or roasted and are often taken between meals. Healthy snacking helps you maintain physical and mental energy and it also helps one have control over main meals. Snacking is however, only healthy when it is done to control appetite and meet nutritional needs. It shouldn’t become a habit because many snack foods are high in fat, calories, sugar and salt.





One tends to gain extra pounds through added daily calories if snacking is done out of boredom or habit. Consuming too many sugary pastries could also lead to tooth decay. Endeavour to avoid buying pastries on the street. Home-made pastries are advisable as one is sure of the type of oil used for the preparation. Oil when used over time becomes acidic but most sellers tend to keep old oil in use and keep frying with oil which is already harmful to

Rice:
Rice is rich in carbohydrates and fairly low in calories. It is a good source of energy because it is carbohydrate-dense. Consuming too much of carbohydrate-dense foods may cause one to eat little of other nutritious meals needed for a healthy life.



Eating too much rice could adversely affect glucose metabolism in the body. White rice contains about 4 grams of fiber per cup and consuming it in excess would fill one up preventing intake of other foods.

White rice is also low in phytic acid because of the bran which is always removed during processing. Ample research has it that white rice increases the risk of getting diabetes. It is advisable to consume brown rice or reduce the rate of white rice consumption.


Pounded yam:

A lot of Nigerians love pounded yam and it is widely consumed across the country. Pounded yam is a source of carbohydrate and a good source of energy which contains dietary fiber that helps reduce constipation.



Pounded yam is high in calories as a small slice of yam contains about 330 calories and one tin cup of pounded yam contains about 400 calories from carbohydrates alone. Pounded yam has the highest glycemic index compared to boiled yam and the process of arriving at pounded yam makes carbohydrates more available to enzymes that disintegrate the carbohydrates to glucose.

Eating pounded yam is consuming calories with no real nutrition. Diabetic patients are advised to steer off foods with high starch and embrace foods with low starch.

My point exactly, even far worse crisis have come and gone, some swept under the carpet for peace to reign. India and Pakistan can start a war but they can't sustain it hence why they won't start it in the first place.

Na wa o,blacks are truly the problem of African countries.

After USA seized Tinubu illegal funds in the nineties ,Baba run go France go dey hide loot,the funny thing is when Tinubu dies, all his trillions of dollars stash in France will not be repatriated back to Naija,the French will enjoy it 😂😂😂. France is not Switzerland that sent part of Abacha loot.

If Seyi Tinubu or folashade dare the French for the looted funds,they will be locked up like UK did to James Ibori.

We are all working and paying high taxes for the benefits of future French generations.

RedboneSmith:
Don't lie on the late Afigbo. Can you cite where he claimed that "Igbo" place-name outside the Southeast are connected to the Ìgbò ethnic group.

You can buy the training material and practice question packs on Udemy.

Watch loads of videos - YouTube. Read other materials.

Pay for the exam and write it in the comfort of your house.

I did this and passed the PSM I at the first attempt with barely two months of inconsistent study due to work and travelling.

All the best.

ImperialYoruba:
There is no tribe known as Igbo. Ibo is the correct tribal identifier. However, after studying history of Nigeria and the roots of indigenous people and Ibo could not be traced to any significant greatness in the region, Chinua Achebe, a man respected amongst his people for his penmanship updated Ibo to Igbo and led a rewrite and revision to attach Ibo to Igbo and thus to Ife and its history. He did not appear to know about the existence of Ugbo people in Ondo State.

His revision had for a time being gained ground and spread due to initial under-estimation and dismissal by Yoruba historians as inconsequential account. This is similar to the attempted revision by last Oba of Bini, claiming Bini was not an offshoot of Yoruba dynasty.

Soon Yoruba historians, and in particular Ugbo priests and their King laid out in detail and chronology order, citing their culture, shrines, deities, belief systems, worship, customs, songs, dance, and many other customs of their land are mirrored in Ife, and challenging Achebe to, not only refute them with facts but also, give chronological footprint of Ibo or Igbo in Ile Ife.

The outcome was that another rewrite displaced the previous in which Ile Ife dissapeared from Achebe's claims of ownership. Unfortunately for him, the term Igbo had caught on in a wild spread and gained acceptance by Ibo people and so it remained till today. The word Biafra is another steal from the people of oil coast who were the original Biafrans. They did not fight back and so Ibos succeeded in taking ownership and claiming Biafra.


There were two literary frauds in Ibo history known for stealing ideas and cultural roots that belonged elsewhere in a much respected civilization and converting it into a Ibo story and history to gain similarity respect and cognition. They failed in some they succeeded in some. Achebe is known for historical rewrites, Acholonu is known for art theft.

The frauds:
1 - Chinua Achebe
2 - Catherine Acholonu

OlaoChi:
many of these people will swear they are doing good for their ethnicities by clinging to other people but its just an insult to me, telling the world that we dont have our own history. At least this case it's yoruba-Igbo

it gets worse when an igbo person will be reading Bible to learn Igbo history and start saying nonsense about Igbos originating from Israel

OlaoChi:
learning igbo history from yoruba history or hebrew history will only make you look insane. 'Igbo' is the Oyo/standard yoruba dialectical variation, just like Ife is really 'Ufe', it is Ugbo of Ondo state not SE nigerian Igbos
