Good job chief for posting. they will still pretend they can't see.


You know what I have noticed, Yoruba always push the boundaries, instead of making ordinary jeeps, Yoruba went ahead and made armoured jeeps, Instead of making bikes, they made tractors and trytractor. We made our first car by the awojobi autonov 1 and 2, if it has been commercialised it would have been in the 70. Prof A. V. Williams Television made in late 60 is still in white house in OAU. We are just not mates with this bush people. Awo free education is still the secret, and they hate that very much.

They never want to admit that they're wrong.
They are always looking for easy money but they seem to have forgotten the line "nothing good in life comes easy"

Life is not a bed of roses!!!
(Igbo people out there take note)

PRISTINEMUSCLES:
Point of correction, eba is a polysaccharide as it contains starch, when eba is digested it becomes the simple sugar monosaccharide called glucose.
See not that eba is bad for diabetics, it is portion size as well as other nutrients taken alongside the eba that are the major ish. The eba to be consumed at any point in time should be about the size of your fist, with plenty of vegetables and proteins.

Quite what I wanted to say,but I didn't express it well...point taken tho..

Believe me honey, I was unable to dig what you're trying to say. Sweetheart can you make me dig?

Tsk tsk...ahdont blame you

Off point as usual!

I came across this true life story on a blog and decided to share it with you...

JUST A LESSON!

If I had known, I would not have played the America visa lottery. The lottery I played had put indelible scar on my heart, causing me pain daily as I move closer to the grave. I am now 64 years of age. My undoing was the visa lottery I played in 2007. Prior to this time, all was well, and going smoothly in our family.

I had married my wife in 1985. We were blessed with 3 boys and a girl. The girl, Moyosore was our first child. She was born in 1986. The boys came there after in 1988, 1990, and 1994.

My wife was a full time house wife. She had everything at her request. A chauffeur driving car, two house helps, and other conveniences were at her disposals. I was a senior management staff at the defunct NITEL. A trained and accompanished electronic engineer. I travelled round the Nation. My assignments most times, were between the Federal Capital Territory, and Owerri in Imo State. I however ensured am in Lagos at least twice a month to see my family. This was between 1986 , and 1997. I retired in 1999 to start my own private company, which has continued to triumph to God’s glory.

In 2007, I joined several other Nigerians to play the visa lottery of the United States. I was part of the few thousands that won. I was happy, not because of myself, but because of my two younger children who will have the benefit of automatic citizenship of America. My older children; Moyosore, Aanuoluwapo were already schooling in Canada as at the time.

Hmmmmm, one of the major conditions of granting the visa is blood screening, and conduct of DNA for beneficiary’s dependants. I had submitted necessary documents, and made payments for our screenings at the popular St. Nicholas, Lagos Island. We did the tests as recommended. The results were to be sent to the Embassy.



I got a letter at a later date that I should present my passport and my wife’s for visas. On enquiry, they said the kids I presented weren’t mine. I almost lost my sanity! My kids weren’t mine? Is that possible was my song. I find it difficult to comprend. Because, it happened near my birthday celebration, I invited Moyo and Aanu home under the pretence that they were coming to celebrate with me, and had their DNA carried out. Alas, only Moyosore was my authentic child!

I became sick, and almost passed on. I was hospitalised for a month. I eventually lost the opportunity to complete the processing of the visas, as I was no longer myself. A bi, of what need is the visa without my kids?

When I got over the shock, I confronted my wife. She was mad with me. She called me unprintable names and a failure. I kept my peace and moved on. The following week, I invited her to a friend’s party. On our way back, I parked the car and pulled out of the road. She asked why, and I told her not to worry. I then raised the matter again. She rained abuse on me, and called me a drunk.

At that point, I pointed a pistol at her side, and threatened to kill her, and dump her on the abandoned road. I showed her copy of the DNA I got on Aanu, and the notification I received from American embassy.

At this point, my wife became parrot. She swallowed her pride, and confessed. She said Aanu was fathered by David, a friend and colleague, who was more of a brother than friend. We had been friends for almost 30 years. Tunde and Bidemi were sons of our househelp, Kingsley. Kingsley was from Benue. He worked with us for almost 15 years. I had noticed my wife special interest in him, but never knew he was sharing her with me.

It has been 10 years after the ugly incident, and revelation. I survived the shock, but Adunninever! She died two years after. She couldn’t wait to tell the kids and sort out the problem and havoc she caused. Till date, the children are not in the knowing of my predicament. The children are doing good. The last, Bidemi now 23 is working in a multinational company. He graduated at 19. So also are the other brothers and their siste, who are doing great in Overseas.

Now, am 64. I have written my will again and again. I have deleted the names of the boys from my last will, even though I have not gathered enough courage to inform them that am not their biological father.

I have not told anyone either, and its killing me day- by- day.

Tryctor: A motorbike-turned-tractor targeting small farmers in Nigeria

It was knowledge of this that prompted Nigerian automobile designer Olufemi Odeleye to spend nearly 10 years developing the prototype for a low-cost, multipurpose, mini tractor – created with the Nigerian, and African, small-scale farmer in mind. His invention, dubbed the Tryctor, has been adapted from the traditional motorcycle and caught the attention of the Nigerian government which is currently piloting the solution among farmers. And this year Odeleye and his Tryctor are up for the Innovation Prize for Africa.

You are trying to get rid of sugar in your body...
Eba is a monosaccharide,when monosaccharides accumulate,they are broken down by the body into simple sugar which only enhances your case.

Do if you're the type that eats abacha in the morning,drinks garri in the afternoon and eats Eva in the evening...you're on a longthing.

You always hear Igbo people screaming "invest in Aba market!!!"
The same market that has spoiled the very name of Nigeria.Tell me what's there to invest in when they can't invent their own ideas but instead run to duplicate authentic goods??

They want easy money always this has resulted to them tarnishing the image of the country...
Come to think of it,90%of all criminals caught both home and abroad are Igbos.

They have the energy to work for money,but not new ideas to generate cash...I once told my friend that an Igbo man bagged 3 Phd's...and her reply was "pronounce the persons name"after i did,she said"the person is an Edo man,or is it possible for an Igbo person to leave money and east years in school for a sheet of paper called certificate??

List of Nigerian foods to reverse Diabetes

Are You Diabetic? Here Are Nigerian List Of Foods For Diabetes Reversal

Being diabetic does not mean you have to eat boring or bland foods. There are many healthy and flavorful food choices that are less likely to cause blood sugar spikes.

Following a diabetic eating plan may seem daunting, but when you are armed with the right information, it gets easier with time. As your knowledge grows about how specific foods affect blood sugar in the body, food selection will be a breeze. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the following foods (which are also available in Nigeria) can be enjoyed on a diabetic menu:

1. Whole grains:

Avoid refined grains and white or enriched flours since, according to the ADA, they only include the starchy part of the grain. Think out of the box and give grains other than wheat a try, such as quinoa, farrow, millet or triticale. For Natural Way to Get Rid of Diabetes in 30Days,

2. Beans and legumes:

Beans provide fiber, protein, and a heavy dose of nutrition. They’re also inexpensive and versatile. The ADA recommends incorporating several meals of beans into your diet each week.

3. Vegetables:

Diabetics can enjoy starchy and non-starchy vegetables, but starchy veggies such as potatoes, pumpkin, and corn should be consumed in moderation. Non-starchy choices such as mushrooms, cauliflower, cucumbers, and greens should fill half of your plate each meal.

4. Fruits:

Fruits offer nutrition and sweet taste without added refined sugars, but they still impact blood sugar. The ADA says on its website that most fruits have a low glycemic index and can be enjoyed. Within a glycemic scale diet, fruits that fall in the medium range on the scale such as melons, pineapple, raisins, and dried figs should be consumed in moderation. For Natural Way to Get Rid of Diabetes in 30Days,



5. Dairy:

According to the ADA, milk is low on the glycemic scale, so incorporating low-fat dairy products into your diet is a great way to get calcium and other nutrients.

6. Meats and protein:

Plant-based proteins such as beans and nuts, seafood, poultry, cheese (low-fat), and eggs top the ADA’s list of protein food recommendations.

7. Combining Whole Foods

With vegetables and fruits, all varieties are suitable for a diabetic meal plan. Remember that the slower the digestion of the fruit or vegetable, the better. Include adequate fiber, such as eating the peel of the apple, and combine the food item with a small amount of protein and/or fat. These are some of the important basics of the diabetic diet. For Natural Way to Get Rid of Diabetes in 30Days,

8. Processed Foods

Whole foods are encouraged for a healthy eating plan, but whether diabetic or not, it is sometimes convenient and necessary to rely on processed food products. Such items include frozen entrees, prepared salads, and canned soups. Consider the following items:

Vegetable-based or bean soups

Prepared vegetable, egg, seafood, seafood, or bean salads

Sugar-free gelatin, hard candies, or chocolate

Sugar-free jams/jellies

Condiments (low-sugar if possible)

Salsa

9. Seasonings and Herbs

There are no restrictions on the amount or type of fresh or dried herbs and spices you can use. They add flavor and texture to foods and are a beneficial alternative to sugar that may be missing from a recipe. If you have high blood pressure, it’s a good idea to limit your salt intake.

10. Sugar Alternatives

Sweets are often considered off limits for diabetics. But you can create your own sweet treats with Stevia, which is a sweet herb, or artificial sweeteners. It is most healthful to use these sweeteners sparingly. Since aspartame contains phenylalanine, avoid it if you have phenylketonuria. For Natural Way to Get Rid of Diabetes in 30Days,

The Yoruba race is more or less a collection of diverse people bound together by language, culture and history. The Yoruba people are a distinguished people and are well-known as the home to one of Africa’s richest cultures. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 5 interesting things about the Yoruba people.

The Yorubas are Among the Most Urbanized People in Africa

This is because centuries before the arrival of the British colonial administration, most Yoruba people already lived in well-structured urban centers. These centers were organized around powerful city states called ‘Ilu’, which were centered around the residence of the Oba. In other words, before the coming of the British colonial masters, the Yoruba people were already organized under the rule of their Oba.

Yorubas are very Expressive People

This is particularly seen in the way they speak and converse with one another. It is also seen in their colourful festivals and celebrations. From wedding ceremonies, naming ceremonies, housewarming parties and even burials, you cannot deny the rich and ostentatious style and ceremonial nature of the people of the culture.



The Yoruba People are One of the Largest Ethnic Groups in Africa

This is according to the CIA World Factbook Report of 2013. The Yoruba people constitute over 40 million people found in most parts of the world, with the largest concentration in Nigeria.

When a Child is Born in Yorubaland, the Naming Ceremony is Carried Out After 8 Days

Regardless of modernization, the Yoruba people still cling dearly to most of their cultural and traditional practices, and the above traditional practice is one of them. After a period of eight days, a naming ceremony is held for a new born where close relatives are invited.

The Yoruba Language Has Many Dialects

The Yoruba language is a tonal. and is a Niger-Congo language that has the largest number of native speakers. The language has many dialects but most of its speakers are able to understand one another.

This is according to the CIA World Factbook Report of 2013. The Yoruba people constitute over 40 million people found in most parts of the world, with the largest concentration in Nigeria.

Operatives of State Intelligence Bureau (SIB), Lagos State Police Command, have arrested the General Overseer of Sufficient Grace Church, Pastor Okechukwu Joseph, for reportedly defrauding members of his church of huge sums of money.

The Pastor who borrowed money from his members, pretending it was needed to repair his car among other projects, while promising to pay back as soon as possible as he was expecting money from undisclosed sources.

However when those he borrowed from approached him to get their money, he came up with excuses and among his victims are women who do daily contribution (ajo) business.

According to The Nation, he had been making empty promises of paying back for about eight years.



Explaining his involvement in the offence the suspect Joseph said: “I am married with two children. I am from Okwe Oboro, Umuahia, Abia State. I know the complainant Miss Bridget Nwankwo as a member of my church. I had no misunderstanding with her.

What really happened is that I collected N308,000 from her to do some reconstruction work in my church where we were before I relocated, due to circumstances beyond my control.

I paid her N100,000. I was not able to pay the remaining N208,000, because money was not coming to me as before. She later reported me to SIB. The church I am pastoring is a growing church.

If you look at my body physique you will think that I have money. I had problems and that was why I had no money to pay her. I had a very serious financial problem.”
