Health / 8 Important Ways To Drive Cancer Far Away From Yourself by simtosul: 6:33am On Apr 30, 2016 |
There was once a time cancer was considered the ‘White man’s sickness’. In Nigeria, it was nearly impossible to hear that the cause of one’s death was cancer…not anymore. In more recent times, though, there have been approximately 100,000 new recorded cases of cancer yearly, in Nigeria alone. The most common forms of cancer among women are the cervical and breast, while for men, it is the prostate. Below are some ways of reducing the risk of getting cancer: 1. NO CARBONATED DRINKS Regular intake of carbonated drinks increases the amount of insulin produced by the pancreas and can double the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. It could increase a man’s chance of developing prostate cancer by around 40 per cent. Drinking just one-and-a-half cans a day can increase a girl’s breast cancer risk by five per cent. Some chemicals that are used to colour soft drinks can cause cancer. 2. REDUCE INTAKE OF PROCESSED FOOD Many substances are added to foods to prolong shelf and storage life and to enhance colour, flavour and texture. Some of these substances are carcinogens: “substances or agents capable of causing cancer”. 3. AVOID SMOKE BY ALL MEANS Smoke enters the body either by inhalation or digestion. When foods like suya, smoked fish or any other smoked food is eaten, you digest the smoke. Smoke is a serious risk factor of cancer. The reason for smoking food is to preserve or enhance colour and flavour. Also, smoke can be inhaled either primarily or secondarily. When someone lights a cigarette and takes a puff of it, that person is known as the primary smoker and anyone around any form of smoke is a secondary inhaler or smoker. Either way, smoke inhalation takes place. Of the more than 7,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, at least 250 are known to be harmful, including hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, and ammonia. Among the 250 known harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke, at least 69 can cause cancer. Once you get into a car that has been parked or has been in the sun for a while with the windows rolled up, always roll down the window immediately you get inside. This is because the cells in the body split and regenerate every few minutes and if the stale and radioactive air in the car is not let out, the cells will split in an unconducive environment and cancer may set in. 4. STAY OFF RADIATION The most common appliances used by people are the microwave, laptop and mobile phone. These appliances emit electronic radiation, which is a major risk factor of cancer. We bring these devices in close contact with parts of our bodies. Mobile phones emit radiofrequency energy (radio waves), a form of non-ionizing radiation, from their antennas. Tissues nearest to the antenna can absorb this energy. 5. MAKE FRIENDS WITH LIPIDS AND STEROIDS Lipids and steroids are oils that nourish the cell. These compounds are present in bread but if they stay in it for more than a day, they spoil. They are now being extracted because they do not help to maximize profit. In their place have come butter and sugar. This way the bread lasts longer and profit is maximized. Still, you need to find a way to consume 50% of lipid and steroid. You can find it in ofada and abakiliki rice. Local rice serves as a rich source of lipid and steroid. The compounds are capsulated in this form, making it easy to take daily, and helping to heal the white blood cells and protect the body system. 6. EAT LOTS OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES When a fruit leaves its tree, it starts to lose 25% of its nutrients daily; and in four days, the nutrients in that fruit will all be gone. In as much as one must consume lots of fruits and vegetables, make sure these fruits and vegetables are fresh! 7. TAKE A LOT OF ZINC AND SUPPLEMENTS This is especially for the men. Take a lot of food and fruits containing zinc. Water melon seeds are a good source of zinc. Also the back of watermelon contains fibre that controls blood sugar. Take a lot of supplements like calcium and supplemented drinks. 8. SCREEN YOURSELF REGULARLY Do not be scared of going to the hospital to check yourself. It is better to be safe than sorry. Doing this reduces the risk of getting cancer and even if cancerous cells are present, they will be discovered early and something can be done about it. There are also so many do-it-yourself tests. Either way, you will be taking care of yourself. Your health is one thing that cannot be played with. |

Politics / World Bank Gives Kachikwu Thumbs Up On NNPC Reforms by simtosul: 5:37am On Apr 28, 2016 |
The World Bank wednesday said it was impressed with the reforms initiated by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, at the state- run oil company in order to reposition it into a profit yielding entity. The bank also commended Kachikwu for bringing transparency and accountability to NNPC and Nigeria’s oil and gas sector. A statement from the Group General Manager, Public Affairs of NNPC, Mallam Garuba Deen Muhammad, in Abuja contained this development. According to the statement Managing Director of the bank, Sir Mulyani Indrawati, said this when she paid an official visit to Kachikwu in his office in Abuja. According to Indrawati, the ‘20 fixes’ introduced by Kachikwu to the NNPC business models have gone a long way to reform the corporation for profitability. She said the bank was ready and available to offer the ministry of petroleum resources technical support, advice and funding. She stressed that adoption of sound policy thrusts was key in the areas of fiscal direction, gas flare out and gas to power for Nigeria. The statement also quoted Kachikwu to have said that since he assumed duty in August 2015, he had introduced lots of reforms ranging from the first phase of restructuring and the recent restructuring which served as enablers for the introduction of new business models that have drastically reduced the losses recorded by the NNPC in the past. “We first started with the softer issues which were transparency issues, governance, restructuring and that was going well when we went straight into the business model. “For example, when we came in, the NNPC was recording huge losses and we have been able to reverse that trend and if we continue with that sort of trajectory then we should be able to record profit in the near future,” said Kachikwu. He added that a lot of institutional framework restructuring are still ongoing in all the parastatals under his watch. According to him: “Infrastructure is the toughest gap as a lot of depots and pipelines need urgent attention and you need infrastructure, be it in the upstream and downstream sector, for you to deliver results but we will continue to throw solutions at them and try to get private sector participation.” He said: “The other tough gap is the funding. Just sheer funding of the upstream joint venture cash calls demands a lot of money and we are not pretending about it. Again, the President has travelled from point to point and a lot of people have offered to support.” Kachikwu urged the World Bank to offer support in the area of institutional framework and training for the ministry and NNPC, adding that the training would provide the necessary skill sets that are required to grow Nigeria’s oil and gas industry. NNPC through the “20-fixes” which are however embedded in five cardinal business objectives that it intends to pursue, plans to amongst other initiatives, attain zero tolerance for corruption, restructure its major subsidiaries as well as enhance probity in its operations across board. Also to be done within the initiative are, reduction and audit of running costs; restructuring of corporate centres and staff; renegotiation of existing contracts including Production Sharing Contracts (PSC); streamlining of subsidy management as well as improve security of the country’s critical petroleum pipelines. The corporation will also restructure its refining business; improve on its use of information technology for its businesses and demand for topnotch service performance from all its staff in the ‘20 fixes’ www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/04/28/world-bank-gives-kachikwu-thumbs-up-on-nnpc-reforms/ 6 Likes

Crime / Viewer Discretion Photos: Female Student Was Battered By Soldiers by simtosul: 3:31pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
Students of Abraham Adesanya Polytechnic, Ijebu Igbo, have cried out for help after their colleague was brutally beaten up, battered and detained by soldiers. Aggrieved students of Abraham Adesanya Polytechnic, Ijebu Igbo has cried foul of a fellow colleague from the Department of Mass Communication identified as Leshi Folashade who was bartered by the school security (soldier) having stood her ground that she will be writing her exams since she has her cash payment with her as damage payment mandated on all students. According to a close colleague who claimed anonymity, trouble started when the Cisco office in the institution got burnt thereby affecting the continuation of exams as students were mandated to make a contribution of 5000 each via POS. Lesi Folashade who could not make the payment as at when due came in with her cash to the exam premises but was denied entry into school premises as the soldiers insisted that the payment was late. Shade’s refusal to leave the school entrance gate warranted the security men to rough-handle her; denying over 100 final year students who could not make payment the opportunity to write exams. With several injuries inflicted on her, the soldiers refused to let her go. It was gathered that after informing the rector of the institution of the situation on ground what had happened, nothing came out of it. Folasade was later driven to ‘Topan’ police station by DSA (Miss Jokotagba) where she was detained for no cause. The aggrieved students equally noted that Prof. Jumoke BIlesanmi Awoderu (rector) has done nothing on the case and has denied Folashade access to her lawyer. The students have insisted that the government must come to the aid of their colleague whose right was violated before more harm come her way. At about 10pm today, jumoke was released but we students of the school insisted that we want the government to intervene and the matter taken to court. Here are photos of the bartered Folashade Leshi” www.worldgistentertainment.com/2016/04/abraham-adesanya-polytechnic-students.html?m=1
