How too far??

The African cherry, also known as Agbalumo or Udara, has many health benefits. It's a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

It is that time of the year when African cherry – the fruit popularly known as agbalumo among the Yoruba and udara to the Igbo – floods the market. Botanically called Chrysophyllum albidum, African cherry or white star apple, belongs to the Sapotaceae family.

Found throughout tropical Africa, the fruit has many health benefits. Below are some of them.
Source of Vitamins

According to research, the fleshy pulp of the African cherry that is especially eaten as snack has been found to have higher contents of ascorbic acid than oranges and guava. The fruit itself is reported to be an excellent source of vitamins, irons and flavours. Hence, the fruit adds to the balanced diet of an individual.

African cherry also serves as a good source of calcium that offers strength to the human body. The calcium embedded in the fruit can lessen symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, such as cramping and abdominal bloating.

According to Nurse Rita, eating a serving of star apple contributes 3g of fibre to the recommended daily intake of 25 to 38g. These fibres provide bulk to your diet, a factor that can make your stomach feel fuller for longer. This can keep you from eating too much, and it may help you lose weight. This nutrient can also help protect you from diabetes and some forms of cancer.

Treats diseases

A study by researchers at the Department of Biological Sciences, College of Science and Technology, Covenant University, Ogun State in Nigeria showed that the African cherry can be used in treating various diseases. “The bark is used for the treatment of yellow fever and malaria, while the leaf is used as an emollient and for the treatment of skin eruption, stomach ache and diarrhoea. The cotyledons from the seeds of Chrysophyllum albidum are also used as ointments in the treatment of vaginal and dermatological infections in Western Nigeria,” the research suggests.

Health benefits:

Weight loss: The fruit's fiber content can help you feel full and reduce your appetite.

Reproductive health: The fruit's antioxidants may improve sperm development and testosterone levels.

Bone and teeth health: The fruit's calcium content can help strengthen bones and teeth.

Premenstrual syndrome: The fruit's calcium content may help reduce cramping and bloating.

Diabetes and heart disease: The fruit may help prevent and manage these conditions.

Sleep quality: The fruit's plant compounds may help improve sleep quality.

Skin health: The fruit's seed may help heal skin infections.

Inflammation: The fruit's stem-bark contains ursolic acid and β-sitosterol, which may have anti-inflammatory properties.

“This administration poses an existential threat to myself and people like me,” a 20-year-old woman brandishing a transgender flag in Meridian Park tells Al Jazeera.

Out of fear for her safety, she offered only a protest nom de guerre, “Cheese”.

“As someone who is transgender and who has a lot of friends who are transgender, I get pretty upset when people aren’t treating transgender and who has a lot of friends who are transgender, I get pretty upset when people aren’t treating trans people very well,” she said.

“I believe in a government that has all of its people’s interests at heart, not just some of its people.”

Trump outlines executive action he plans to take
The US president says he will:

Declare a national emergency at the US-Mexico border and send troops there
Reinstate his “Remain in Mexico” policy that forced migrants and asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for their US immigration hearings
Designate Mexican drug cartels as “foreign terrorist organisations” and “eliminate presence of all foreign gangs and criminal networks” in the US
Direct all cabinet members to “defeat what was record inflation and rapidly bring down costs and prices”
Declare a “national energy" emergency”, adding “We will drill, baby, drill”
Revoke a programme promoting electric vehicles

Tide of change sweeping the country’: Trump
The US president has quickly slammed the outgoing Biden administration, saying that the US government has failed to defend Americans and American interests.

“We have a public health system that does not deliver in times of disaster,” he said. “And we have an education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves; in many cases, to hate our country despite the love that we try so desperately to provide to them.

“All of this will change starting today and it will change very quickly,” he continued to applause.

No more America decline!

Yes oo reporting from Obioakpor lga Portharcourt

President Joe Biden is about to wrap up what many perceive as a disastrous presidency. His departure from the White House could potentially mark a turning point in both the Russia-Ukraine conflict and in the three decades of poorly thought-out Western policies which resulted in the alienation of Russia and the collapse of its democratic project. But that hinges on the incoming President Donald Trump’s ability not to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors.
It is Russian President Vladimir Putin who decided to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but the ground for this conflict was prepared by US securocrats in the 1990s. Back then, Russia had just emerged from the dissolution of the USSR much weaker and disoriented, while the Russian leadership, idealistic and inept as it was at the time, worked on the assumption that full-blown integration with the West was inevitable.

Decisions made at that time triggered confrontation between Russia and the West which arrived at its logical climax during Biden’s presidency.

The problem was never the eastward expansion of NATO – a security pact created to confront the Soviet Union – and the European Union per se, but Russia’s exclusion from this process.

Crucially, this approach set Ukraine on the course of Euro-Atlantic integration while Russia was kept out of it – creating a rift between two nations closely linked to each other by history, economic and interpersonal relations. It also precipitated Russia’s securitisation and backsliding on democracy under Putin.

This outcome was never pre-destined and it took relentless efforts by American securocrats to bring it about.

One of the lost chances for a different path was the Partnership for Peace programme, officially launched by the Clinton administration in 1994. It was designed to balance the desire of former Warsaw Pact countries to join NATO and the crucial goal of keeping Russia on board – as a major nuclear power and a new democracy with a clearly pro-Western government.

Russia joined it but, as the American historian Mary Sarotte writes in her book Not One Inch, this useful framework was derailed at its inception by a small number of securocrats in Washington.

She specifically talks about “the pro-expansion troika”, consisting of Daniel Fried, Alexander Vershbow, and Richard Holbrooke, who pushed for an aggressive expansion of NATO, disregarding protests from Moscow.

Sarotte also mentions John Herbst as the author of a later report on unofficial promises of NATO’s non-expansion made to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev which, as she suggests, shaped the US policy of ignoring Russia’s complaints about NATO expanding all the way to its borders for decades to come.

The unreflective arrogance and triumphalism that these securocrats embody can also be seen in Biden himself who back then was a prominent member of Congress. In a 1997 video, he mocked Moscow’s protests against NATO expansion by saying that Russia would have to embrace China and Iran if it kept being intransigent. He clearly assumed it to be an absurd and unrealistic scenario back then – believing, perhaps, that Russia had no choice but to stay in the Western orbit. But it turned out exactly along the lines of what he thought was a smart joke.

In his hawkish politics on Russia, Biden found a willing partner in the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It is hardly a coincidence that Zelenskyy’s massive U-turn on relations with Russia started as Biden took office.

The Ukrainian president had been elected on the promise that he would end the simmering conflict that began with the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014. He met with Putin in Paris in December 2019 and the two agreed to a ceasefire in the Donbas region, which both sides had largely respected, reducing the number of deaths to near zero.
But once Biden set foot in the White House, Zelenskyy ordered a clampdown on Putin’s Ukrainian ally Viktor Medvedchuk, while simultaneously launching loud campaigns for Ukraine’s NATO membership, the return of Crimea, as well as for the derailing of the Russo-German Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project.

Two factors may have played into Zelenskyy’s decisions. Azerbaijan’s victory over Russian-backed Armenian forces in the fall of 2020, achieved largely thanks to Turkish Bayraktar drones, gave hopes that high-tech warfare against Russia could be successful. The other factor was that in December 2020, polls showed Medvedchuk’s party ahead of Zelenskyy’s.

Just a few days after Biden’s inauguration, Zelenskyy gave an interview to American outlet Axios in which he famously asked his US counterpart: “Why Ukraine is still not in NATO?” This was followed by an op-ed with the same question in the title by Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, published by Atlantic Council – a think tank that gets much of its funding from the US government and Pentagon contractors.

Unsurprisingly, some of the same personalities that shaped US policies towards Russia in the 1990s also egged on the Biden administration to adopt aggressive policies that contributed to making the invasion happen.

On March 5, Fried, Vershbow and Herbst, along with three others, published a report in the Atlantic Council with a list of recommendations for the Biden administration with regard to Ukraine and Russia. These boiled down to pressuring Putin by escalating on every front – from offering NATO membership plan to Ukraine to derailing Nord Stream 2 and “enhancing security” in the Black Sea.
Three weeks after that publication, Putin began deploying troops on the Ukrainian border, embarking on 11 months of hair-raising brinkmanship. This period saw the British warship HMS Defender entering what Russia had declared its territorial waters off the coast of occupied Crimea in June, the US starting secret supplies of weapons to Ukraine in September and finally the US and Ukraine announcing a strategic partnership in November – a move that amounted to casus belli in the eyes of Kremlin hawks.

It was around that time that Putin began preparing for the invasion in earnest before eventually triggering it in February 2022. The resulting war is now approaching its third anniversary.

Despite massive Western backing, Ukraine suffered terrible losses and gained nothing from challenging Putin to a fight. The war has brought Ukraine to the brink, causing a massive refugee crisis, economic collapse, social disintegration and ever-growing death toll.

If peace in Ukraine is achieved this year, it will likely be along the lines of the failed Istanbul agreements of 2022, which envisioned an Austria-styled neutral Ukraine with limits on the size of its army. Russia will likely insist on keeping much of the territory that it gained as punishment for Ukrainian intransigence. This will technically constitute a defeat for Ukraine, but it will be a clear win for the Ukrainian people, who have borne the brunt of this war, as well as for the rest of the world.

It will also be a major defeat for the securocratic class which has been pushing for a new standoff with Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The aggressive pursuit of expansion at the expense of Russia has clearly failed as a strategy. It is time for Western policymakers to do some soul-searching on how to reverse the situation and start a slow drift back towards rapprochement with Moscow.

This is not about absolving Putin’s government from accountability for the crime of aggression as well as war crimes committed by Russian troops. It is about removing conditions which caused Russia’s transformation into a militarised dictatorship and ending a conflict which will keep propping up Putin’s regime for as long as it lasts.

This is mistake from Biden President Trump must quickly correct, the Ukraine Russian war is an avoidable conflict but Biden decision to play old policies with the lives and peace of Ukraine must be corrected not matter how hard it takes

According to the idiot "life is a reciprocal"

Make they just cut this guy body too like suya until he pray to die, slowly until he get his wish abeg.

Don't waste our prison resources on someone like this, he don't deserve to eat from our taxes. He only deserve slow death period

Chaiiiii.... Baba u done die ooo

I rarely reply but when I do it has to be important.

Brother do this: Call her and sit her down, maybe u guys can go for a meal but you need to talk to her. Tell her babe, I know I am not where I am supposed to be and it's affecting you. I know as a result of my present situation I can't give you the world. And without a shadow of doubt you deserve the best. Consequently, I love you so much that I am willing to let you go so you can find another man that will give you the financial comfort you deserve'
Brother, I'm 90 percent certain that she won't go. You see something I've noticed about women is that they know or can sense a man that will succeed; this is especially true for good women. Once a man is hardworking and struggling to succeed, a woman that loves him and has good home training will hardly leave him, she might struggle with frustration but she will be there. And as for you brother, keep going forward

God bless you sir, sorry for the late reply

Thank God I never read or hear anything for this platform like pray for America...

Some of una go carry other people mata for head pass d one wer d worry us here

If truly there is anything like karma, Putin ought to die a slow, painful and shameful death


How can you wake up and invade another nation on mere useless suspicion? Now young men, women, kids and the aged are being slaughtered on daily basis just because of your stupidity and ego yet some deranged souls are supporting Russia just because they hate United States of America.


If Putin hated Zelensky and felt he wasn't protecting Russian interest in Ukraine, he should have used his imaginary Russian power and might to unseat him by sponsoring political uprising against him and install his own choice candidate like US and the West always do instead of invading a sovereign nation unprovoked in your quest to grab lands as usual while claiming it's because you dont want them to join NATO, what kind of bulaba is that?


Just take a look at what these able bodied men are going through because of Putin's foolish war adventure in Ukraine? Thousands of Russian soldiers have died in more horrible ways than this, but here is Russian state media hyping and spreading this incident as if no Russian soldier have been butchered in this Putin's senseless war adventure. The Russian guy survived out of luck and because the Ukraianing guy made some attack mistake, if not, both soldiers ought not to survive and any that survived such one on one duel ought not to live more than 4 hours before giving up the ghost

Stop analysing things base on your emotions, Putin still sees Ukraine as Russians just that that Puppet of the West is too stubborn ☺️. This problem didn't start in 2014. It is rooted deeper than you think

TenQ:
Perfectly said!

Unfortunately, the problem isn't Ukraine but
1. Russia who invaded Ukraine in 2014 and took Cremia. Up till this , no one in Ukraine wanted to join NATO
2. USA, who used coercive force to make Ukraine give up her Nuclear arsenal with a promise to protect her from external aggression with the Budapest Accord. Unfortunately, the two guarantees for the agreement failed.
3. United Nations, who pretended that Cremia was not militarily occupied in 2014 by Putin. If the whole world had prevented this, the new invasion would not have happened.


Now , Finland and Sweden have joined NATO because of the aggressive behaviours of Russia. What excuse remains for Ukraine.

Solution:
If Ukraine will not join NATO, she must be allowed to "re-aquire" her Nuclear arsenal and not only this, to build it to its former size.

And no one should complain of Nuclear proliferation.

And after that, Ukraine may by the use of force re-aquire her lost territories from Putin!

You people will just go to Google and get information, ask yourself what really happened before Russia annexed cremia in 2014. Do you know how the Russian speaking part of Ukraine were treated and abused? Even how American installed the so called puppets called Ukrainian president? Asked and learn

My friend John and his girlfriend, Grace have been in love for over five years, a love so deep that friends often envied their bond. Despite coming from different backgrounds, their love was unwavering. John, an ambitious and hardworking young man from a humble home, always dreamed of building a life with Grace. She, on the other hand, came from a middle-class family with an uncle who had become the pillar of their family after her parents passed away.

After completing his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), John believed his breakthrough was imminent. He prayed fervently and kept trying his best, applying for jobs, learning new skills, and doing everything he could to secure a stable future. However, nothing seemed to work out.

Grace, too, wanted to see things improve for John. She encouraged him, prayed alongside him, and even tried to find opportunities for him. But her efforts bore no fruit. As the years passed, Grace began to feel frustrated. She loved John deeply, but the uncertainty of their future weighed heavily on her.

One day, in his desperation, John suggested something he had been hesitant to bring up before: "Grace, why don’t you introduce me to your uncle? He seems like a kind man who genuinely cares about you and your family. Maybe he could help me find a job or guide me in the right direction."

Grace’s reaction was unexpected. She firmly rejected the idea. "John, I don’t think it’s a good idea. My uncle has already done so much for my family. I can’t bring this to him, again I don't want to be the topic of discussion in my family"

John was hurt but didn’t press the issue. However, as time went on and nothing changed, he brought it up again. "Grace, I’m not asking for a handout. I just need someone to point me in the right direction. Your uncle has the experience and connections to help. Why won’t you consider it?"

But Grace remained adamant. She never explained her reasons, and each time John brought it up, the conversation ended in frustration. Despite her love for him, she couldn’t understand why he kept pushing the idea.

John, on the other hand, felt misunderstood. He wasn’t asking for charity; he just wanted a chance to prove himself, to create a future where he and Grace could finally settle down.

Now, their relationship is at a crossroads. Grace feels torn between her loyalty to her uncle and her love for John. John feels stuck, unable to move forward despite his best efforts.

The Question

Was John wrong to ask Grace to introduce him to her uncle? Was Grace right to turn him down with the explanation? Or is this a situation where both parties need to reevaluate their priorities and communication?

What would you do if you were in John or Grace’s shoes?

There's this particular lady that gave me everything, her love and respect. She endure a lot when wen there are better suitors coming yet she stay put...
I hate watching her pass thru all this for my sake, because I couldn't afford her bills, I wish to give her a better life. I have tried everything positively to change my financial status but nothing is working now, I noticed she's tired and frustrated, nothing I do now pleases her anymore.

It wasn't her fault, no matter the level of love a woman loves you, money will surely make the love sweeter and smoother.

Heffalump:
I keep saying it that Putin is the greatest threat to human race in the world at the present. This is the sole reason why there will be nuclear war, because everyone will get fed up by his atrocious acts.

And people that are forcing nonsense culture on you are the best abi? Ogbeni wake up

In a statement issued on Saturday, Saree said that the Yemeni forces hit a military target in Jaffa with the Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile.

The missile accurately hit the target and the Zionist enemy's interception systems could not prevent this missile operation, he added.

He stressed that the Arab state would continue its support for Palestine until the Zionist regime's aggression stops and the blockade of the Gaza Strip is lifted.

Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian Resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.

Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza, which have killed at least 27,948 people and wounded another 67,459 individuals, come to an end.

The United States and Britain in December announced a military coalition to target Yemen in support of Israel.

Na to call Nigeria military to assist Israel now

Yemen won't stay calm now until hand touch them abi, abi USA dey fear this ones??

You should have given her @20k worth of rice, to cook at home. What does she need 294k worth of rice for? That was a red flag.

You should have asked someone to follow her to collect the money.

If ATM is not available she could have transfered, there are a lot of Options . but you were sentimental and asked to go.

Check Play store, there a lot of Applications that you can use to track her or Report to the Police after 3 days if she didnt pay you. May she was waiting for the offerings from the church .
