In addition to the comprehensive list right above, sleep for at least 7 hours on a regular basis.

Not sleeping for at least 7 hours on a regular basis would most likely lead to hypertension, and even high blood sugar (diabetes), the leading causes of certain cardiovascular, and metabolic deaths.

Avor Pataki.

More like check your BP and blood sugar regularly and diagnose/manage your Hypertension and Diabetes early, watch what you drink (herbal products and stimulant drinks), stop taking strong pain killers frequently.

naija requires paranoia because when you read about what some people get up to

apparently bukas found that panadol softens meat so pandaol is now used in cooking meat
fufu takes maybe three days to prepare - now people use chemicals to speed the process
bananas are artificially ripened with benzene
plantain chips are fried in transformer oil
as for those who are adulterating drinks - if you see the videos of where it goes down you go fear
then you have ndlea busting METH labs in highbrow parts of lekki - which means the residue is every where

What! Panadol used as a meat tenderiser?
That can cause kidney injury but is actually more likely to cause liver injury and possible acute liver failure if the dose is high enough.

Imagine the wickedness. Yet another case of Nigerian leaders being wicked to their innocent citizens.

So eating food in Nigeria has now turned to Squid Game.

Nobody said Hajj trips will solve insecurity or poverty. The point is that it’s still a direct program benefiting actual citizens instead of politicians announcing projects that never leave paper and pocketing the funds plus funding a welfare program for pilgrims doesn’t stop the Katsina government from also tackling insecurity.

Using state funds for Hajj in a place where insecurity and massive poor education and out of school kids is rife is a blatant misplacement of priorities.

I don't even believe in government involvement in state sponsored religious pilgrimage. If individuals no fit foot their religious travels bills, make dem go rest.

This is one of the major problems of Nigerians, rent seeking. We still depending on government to fund our religious beliefs. 🤦🏽‍♂️
Nigerians are not serious people.

I'm hardly even seeing the benefits of religious pilgrimage to the state.

It's even funnier Nigeria intends to spend about 12bn naira for religious pilgrimage this year for less than 50,000 people in a region that's experiencing insecurity and an active war zone. Just shows our unseriousness.

rest assured, if a governor up north decides to stop funding hajj the outcry will be even louder than subsidy

How many years will it take them to check the bread if it contains dangerous ingredients or not.
This is not about having bad advisers, she is losing money by the day

NPF as an organization is useless. The whole force needs to be disbanded entirely, if you say the current ones should be reorientated it's just a waste of time and won't work. They don't even obey the IGP.

So, people shouldn't review products they purchased again?
Why are most Africans so scared of criticism?? If you don't want people to review your products then quit producing anything na.

NPF is always available for the highest bidder. A total disgrace, just like their military counterparts.

I love this country

It was actually from a previous discussion where you pointed out the roots of EFCC's behavior are from the days of nuhu ribadu when obj turned a blind eye - encouraging their harassment of governors etal and thereby turning it into their foundational culture.

if no one was punished for the harassment of that binance guy [basically an international diplomatic incident] i fear no government has the motivation to call then t order

I don't know about y'all but I think the way EFCC harassed and handled the Finance guy issue was I collaboration with the US govt.

My own thinking at the time, was that Nigeria was used as a proxy to signal forced regulatory authority and tougher scrutiny for crypto and other digital currency holders.
It signalled tougher regulation and trying to bring crypto handlers to the fold, forcibly. A crackdown.

The way the US was mostly mum about the issue despite how public it was for a US citizen was pretty much suspicious.

Amigoos1:
To me it’s similar to the government distributing sewing machines to over 1,000 youths. You can debate priorities but it’s still a program directly benefiting actual people.

I dont agree with the bold, there are some people who have learned sewing but do not have money to buy a machine, Distributing machines make them economically viable to themselves and they stop being a burden on the state in the future

Unlike Hajj or Jerusalem

I think sewing machine can be categorized as asset not sure abut Hajj or Jerusalem

Who do you want to check the bread?

She (the owner of BON bread ) is the one that labelled her bread as containing dangerous ingredients by her own admission. The lady never claimed their bread was bad, she(the owner) assumed and gave her bread PR by her actions.


Now she is writing to the lady to clarify whether it is their bread she was referring to or not after she already arrested the lady based off her assumption. If she had good advisers, they would've told her the whole arrest of the reviewer was a bad move that will result to bad image for her. Now because they don't have any evidence to tie the woman , they are trying to trick her into either indicting herself or help them save the little remaining of their battered public image.

Not just the North, almost every state.

I remember when Bisi Akande in 2002 retired teachers who were taking redundant subejcts, e.g A school with 7 IRK teachers, 8 Govt teachers, 10 Yoruba teachers, Zero Chemistry teacher, 1 Physics teacher, 2 Maths teachers(One of them is NYSC)

That was why Bisi Akande lost re-election in Osun 2003 with the oppnent promising to rehire all the retired redundant teachers

Also when Fayemi in Ekiti decided that for teachers you must be able to take the WAEC exam for your subject and score 50%. He lost re-election for it when Fayose used the policy against him

In SouthWest, Issues as basic as wearing Hijab to missionary or christian schools has caused a lot of flashpoints,

Then why is the woman coming out every market days when she won't mention the bread name, if she wants to help she can mention the bread name and what is put there.
How's the information she gave going to help us because normally you and I can't have a bread for 2 months, we have a lot of problems in the country than to be following bread ingredients around because some of them won't write the real ingredients.
Make she get out Abeg, she's only farming the content for the gram jare, she has the proof then use it.

a colleague who had worked in guiness said they went to meet akunyuli to discuss how to counter fake guiness in the market and she told them flat out - there is nothing you can do - periodically you will change your packaging. this woman was this close to being assassinated when she went after fake drug merchants and no on was ever arrested

my personal experience is that Nigerians as a whole are in love with sentiment and have no moral filter. they will find a way to justify anything - even fake drugs - original too cost - he is helping people etc etc

Somebody was arrested for a crime she didn't commit, and you say why is she coming out ?

She advised people to be watchful and observe what they consume ; she doesn't need to mention any brand name. It may not be only BON bread that has the issue, it can be any other brand in your own area.

She is only coming out because BON bread had her arrested after making a video that didn't have their name mentioned but the owner assumed it was her bread (Most likely because she knows she is as guilty as charged).

If you don't find her information useful, others do o. In fact, there had been other content creators that had made videos about other bread brands too.

Regulators in Nigeria most times adopt reactive approach instead of proactive approach to regulations and consumer education.

What NAFDAC should've done was to release a statement clarifying if it was safe to eat bread that don't go bad within a week or two. Up till now, I doubt they've done anything like that.

If they do that, they can put to rest the debate of whether a particular bread was good for consumption or not.

There's actually nothing useful to work with in the information
For example we were just told what to avoid and how to detect early signs of kidney and liver damage
Easy peasy
She came out saying there are breads that can stay 2 months, how can we know the bread or the name or the ingredients we don't know
So the videos are for what exactly

Thank you I
This particular woman didn't even mention one clue and she claim she looking out for us, i grew up knowing bromate is not good in bread and there are ways to detect bromate in bread
But this particular new ingredient that makes bread stay longer is surely not good for health and she can't even mention it , what's now the point of the whole videos

At this moment, State governors just employ people just to pay them salaries or give them stupid things to do like Aregbe employing grauates to sweep the road in what he called OYES corp, Now no govt after Aregbe can dare stop that program otherwise they will be in trouble

What governors who lose elections usually do is to quickly hire a large number of people so that the incoming govt will either have to use scarce resources to continue paying them (Then state go broke or struggle) or the incoming govt sack them then it becomes "You have no heart

The same way she found out some bread can stay 2 months without getting bad, u are also encouraged to subject ur favorite bread in area to that test. Keep ur favorite bread for that period of time and u will see what u have been consuming for years. It's that simple.

She can't help u to know the status of ur favorite bread u eat in ur own area.
