Health5 Ways Herbal Concoctions Are Bad For You--kangpe by okaychukwu(op): 3:03pm On Jan 17, 2017
People have been taking herbal concoction such as "Agbo" and "Dongo yaro" for centuries and will always say it works for them, and there's no good reason to stop especially in situations when it seems modern medicine is not providing the needed solution. This is further reinforced by the herbal medicine practitioners at motor parks who claim the concoctions cure all kinds of diseases; can make infertile women conceive and impotent men impregnate their wives.

However, the reality is these herbal concoctions contain hundreds of chemical compounds whose beneficial functions have not been verified medically. One or two of these compounds might have medical benefits, while the rest are harmful in the following ways:

1. They Worsen the Side Effects of specific Drugs

It has been shown that some herbal concoctions interact with certain medications used in treating bleeding disorders and heart conditions by slowing their metabolism (breakdown and clearance from the body), thereby keeping these drugs longer than normal in the body. The result is a prolongation of their side effects such as excessive bleeding in the case of drugs for treating bleeding disorders.

BusinessHow Technology Can Change Agriculture In Nigeria by okaychukwu(op): 1:16pm On Sep 07, 2016
Technology has enabled tremendous advances in every area of human life in every part of the world; but the rate of that advancement has been different and much slower in the emerging economies—Nigeria and most other African countries especially. That the technology community has been abuzz for the past one week because of Mark Zuckerberg’s first visit to Africa—Nigeria first and then Kenya—is something that a lot of young Nigerians have come to see as the beginning of a never-before-seen technology revolution that will sweep across the country and continent. Many young talented Nigerians are using technology to solve local problems, ranging from education through transportation to healthcare, and some of these were showcased to Zuckerberg during his visit at the Co-Creation Hub in Yaba, Lagos.

While these tech solutions to local problems were commended by Zuckerberg, he also stressed, during a Question & Answer session for entrepreneurs and developers, that Nigeria and Africa have the talent to solve relevant global challenges. There are so many global problems today craving ground-breaking solutions; but one of such problems whose solutions can come from Africa is food security through agriculture not only because of how technology can be applied to scale agricultural production but also due to the fact that more than half of the earth’s arable lands, that can be exploited for agriculture without harming the green ecosystem, is in Africa. This means that applying the right technology in agriculture could turn Africa into the food hub of the world, and there’s need to start work now not just for the sake of the world but also for the food safety of our country and the entire continent: Nigeria’s population is estimated to surpass that of the US by 2050, making the country the 3rd most populous in the world, and a strong food security will certainly prevent a lot of problems. https://scitechgist..com.ng/2016/09/how-self-driving-tractors-drones-and.html#more
