Blood of Zacharia!!!!!?
That's why d poor keep getting poorer, in dis harsh economy?

Lol yes.

Timmi:
All that you said above doesn’t make Nigeria a failed country. What you said and what the woman said in the video is man’s inhumanity to man because of greed that have permeated our society.

The country regulatory agency refused their work that Nigeria is a failed country..

Sir, even in developed countries you still have issues of adulterated products, be it drink or packaged food. Greediness cuts across boundaries, race or ethnicity

folake4u:
Lmao. Can Nigerian population ever reduce? I doubt because our culture embraces procreation. This isn't the West or Asian countries that is trying to regulate their population.

War can reduce Nigeria population and it's just a matter of time before one takes place

folake4u:
Oh I'm serious, Des.

I laugh when people say alcohol consumption leads to kidney problems, what about the food we eat these days?

Food plays it's part but you see alcohol, it destroys everything in your system. Brain, kidney, liver, reproductive organs, name them.
Unmanaged diabetes caused by food land someone in this mess but the thing about diabetes and eating right in Nigeria is that we do not have any awareness on healthy eating at all. The reason you see the rich getting so obese with all their money. Obesity is a big man problem in Nigeria. We eat and eat like peasants. We eat for the qty, not the qlty.

Just seeing your mention now. E ma binu.

Sometimes I wonder what's so special about alcohol but then, it's not my thing. And I understand people take it for the "trips" or pleasure they derive from it.

Omoooo about the food? Our diet is majorly carbs. How many Nigerians can afford three square meals these days? Not many, I guess.
Garri that used to be the hope for common man is also expensive these days.

What people focus on these days is to just feed and survive and not really about healthy living. You really can't blame them. The economy isn't favourable right now in Nigeria.

About the obesity thing? I don't really see it from the social class of wealth. Even some poor people can be obese too. I've seen this play out as well.

But yeah, I understand your perspective too.

Yes... Some unfortunate people boil meat with paracetamol tabs. They claim it cooks faster that way.

How's it going Folake?... Thanks for the extra information here. I just did a quick online check and found your claim to be TRUE.
The use of pressure cookers or tenderizers would have done the trick in cooking faster. Why are some people this clueless and unfortunate?

There are two videos right below on the negatives of cooking with paracetamol. Being that my biological mother was a senior medical professional before she retired, I've always known that using multiple pain killers [daily overdoses of Paracetamol tabs under different brand names is a STRONG recipe for kidney failure but I never knew that some people use it to cook].

I think it's BETTER to focus more on home cooking [while thoroughly washing the raw food items] than to eat outside often. This phenomenon of cutting corners when cooking in some restaurants is a global thing which happens in many countries that is based off of the desire to maximize profit. This is where food standardization enforced by food inspectors comes in.

Kidney failure is something I have an aversion for, so, I regularly check my blood sugar and blood pressure while reducing salt and pain killer intake as much as possible because they are ALL precursors of kidney failure. Even with a successful kidney transplant, you have to take drugs for as long as you are alive AND the kidneys usually start failing again after about 10 years from the time of the first ever kidney transplant so there will be a need for another kidney transplant after 10 years. It's just completely stressful so it's better to SIMPLY AVOID kidney failure in the first place.

ENJOY the rest of your day Folake.
