HealthHow Thousands Nigerians Risk Death Consuming With Meat Cooked With Paracetamol by samwash(op): 10:03am On Dec 26, 2019
For many households and restaurants, using paracetamol is the fastest way to prepare meat. It saves gas, kerosene or firewood. And costs much less, N50 for one sachet of 12 tablets, and each tablet can cause a pot-full of meat to cook soft within few minutes. It's an amazing discovery, or so it seems. But what they don't know is that as much as they are quickening the amount of time it takes to cook, they are also quickening their days on mother earth. 

"It's a lot faster to boil meat with paracetamol," a young mother, Adeola told this writer upon inquiry. "I have used it to cook cow leg on a number of occasions. If you add one tablet, the meat will melt and become soft in just ten minutes."

But Adeola is endangering her life and those of her young children. She was in shock to realise this. 

Paracetamol, ordinarily, is a killer, when consumed regularly to cure a headache or take care of pains, but when cooked in a pot, it's a certain expressway to kidney or liver failure. 

Medical experts say when paracetamol is used in cooking, it loses the pain killer property and becomes highly acidic and dangerous for human consumption. 

When the process occurs, paracetamol is hydrolyzed into what is called 4-aminophenol, which, experts say, is highly very toxic to the kidney and liver.

Last week, a facebook user raised alarm about the prevailing use paracetamol to cook goat meat 'pepper soup' in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State and other surrounding areas.

Investigations by this writer revealed that restaurant owners opt for paracetamol because it helps them save cost and reduce the waiting time for customers.

Recently, there has been a hike in the number of young Nigerian men coming down with kidney failure, most of which result in death on account of poor medical care, part of the reason for that, apparently is consumption of paracetamol/panadol 'pepper soup' or meat it is used to prepare generally. Ignorance is proving costly in this regard. 

In its 2016 report, the Nigeria Medical Journal noted that Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has so prevalent in the country that it has "become a public health problem in Nigeria."

In March last year, the Nigerian Association of Nephrology (NAN) said a whooping 25 million Nigerians, representing over 13 percent of the country's estimated 180million people had kidney failures. 

But paracetamol or panadol is not dangerous only when cooked in a pot. Regular intake or slight overdose can be equally deadly. 

The maximum 24-hour dose of paracetamol is 4g, but as little as 5g, experts say, can cause liver complications, and it can be easy to overdose accidentally by taking more than one product containing it at the same time.

CareerRe: Why Do Job Seekers Avoid Insurance Sale Roles? by samwash(m): 9:47am On Nov 09, 2019
The word ''God forbid..!!!'' As its used by most Nigerian's knowing fully well that things can go wrong anytime due to human error, electrical or mechanical fault.
A trader have been conveying goods in a particular route over years will never think that things can go wrong one day.
An example is the tanker explosion we experience in Onitsha or Lagos were properties got burnt & destroyed. Some pple were sent to early grave because of what happened, nothing to fall back on. If these properties and goods affected was insured, it could be a different ball game.
Its high time the insurance companies in Nigeria should sensitize the general public the importance to take insurance policy.
The Nigerian government to also make favorable laws that will benefits the one taking the insurance.
Moreover insurance companies should step up their game in terms of better pay package for their staff.
So much to talk about why insurance doesn't sell in Nigeria and why pple are not willing to take up jobs in that sector.
CareerRe: Why Do Job Seekers Avoid Insurance Sale Roles? by samwash(m): 9:45pm On Nov 08, 2019
Because Nigerian's hardly buy insurance,even the third party insurance na war.
Insurance don't sell in Nigeria environment.
Don't just go to life assurance.

PoliticsRe: Makinde Orders Contractor Handling Over N65billion Ibadan Circular Road To Stop by samwash(m): 7:59am On Nov 02, 2019
okewumi:
Not compilation.
The road will pass through the boundary of Ibadan in a ring form. So ibadan town will be at thr center, using the road to share boundary with other town in Oyo state.
it a project that can never come to play because Ibadan has a very large land mass. Why not repair millions of bad road instead of project you not be able to commission.

If the Makinde continues, it a death trap because many houses will be affected and poor masses of Oyo state will suffer.
From your analysis, I get a view of what the project will look like.
The project should be called a by-pass road that will cut off Ibadan main city.
That to say when you are going to the northern part of Nigeria, when coming from Lagos ,no need to enter inside Ibadan city ,there should be a bypass road that will cut you from Ibadan .
Well that is an elephant project considering the land mass of Ibadan.
Well on a second note it will as well open up those villages at the outskirts of Ibadan.
The project can be done, only that it will cost a fortune.
Example of this project is the Benin city bypass .

PhonesNokia 3310 Found In Drawer After 20 Years Still Has 70% Battery by samwash(op): 8:53pm On Oct 29, 2019
NOKIA 3310 FOUND IN DRAWER AFTER 20 YEARS STILL HAS 70% BATTERY



Kevin Moody, a roofer from Ellesmere Port, has recently cleared out his ‘man draw’ looking for a key to the shed when he stumbled upon his old Nokia 3310mobile phone. The phone was still switched on, and had been forgotten about for 20 years.

Incredibly the phone still had just over 70% battery remaining. Kevin remarked how he didn’t ever remember charging the mobile, or even owning a charger.

Today’s mobile phones, such as iPhones, have an average battery life of around 17 minutes and require plugging in throughout the day in order to have enough power for the bus or train ride home. The Nokia 3310, however, never required charging. Ever.

Scientists believe that Nokia, rather than make a mobile phone, had instead created renewable energy.

Doctor Ivor Bignob, currently teaching at Cheshire College, commented:

THE NOKIA 3310 BATTERY IS LIKE PERPETUAL MOTION. IT SHOULDN’T EXIST, BUT IT DOES. ONE NOKIA 3310 CAN POWER A CITY FOR ALL TIME.

Conspiracy theorists believe the Nokia 3310 disappeared because of threats and underhand tactics from fossil fuels, as a battery that never ran out would cripple the fossil fuel industry.

Mr Moody’s phone is currently serving him well as both a texting device and a spare hammer for when he drops his at work.

correctyourself:
He does not need to do that, if you're applying for a job you look at the required ànd your experience on the job and apply, it must not be current cv, if for example, he has bank experience, and he is presently a driver and want to go back to banking job did you expect him to apply with driver's CV? All work experience must not be on a CV, you edit it based on your experience and the job responsibility and other requirements so that it will flow, the next is to defend it when invited, because you actually have the experience. If you want to all your experience from secondary school to uni, and post uni experience, who would have time to read it when you have over 3000k CV to review.
Ur points are valid.
