The need for Nigerian businesses to look inwards and produce more with local raw materials, human resources, and God’s given minerals.

A nation cannot grow without export.

Therefore, the Nigerian government have over the years been sprinkling manure on the exportation field to grow it further especially the agribusiness.

The reason why we have governing bodies like the Export Promotion Council of Nigeria and NEXIM bank is to paint exportation in a good light so as to make it more attractive to corporate bodies and individuals as well.

The function of the code you just pasted in does is to scroll down their followers every two seconds. Now, leave it scrolling and go and do something else, make breakfast or whatever you want to do, and leave it scrolling automatically.

When you are back to your computer, let's say like after 5 - 10 minutes or so, do this:

Paste the following code into the console and press enter key on your keyboard again.

Code:
__cnt__=0; jQuery('.Grid-cell .not-following .follow-text').each(function (i, ele) { ele = jQuery(ele); if (ele.css('display')!='block') {console.log('already following:', i); return;} setTimeout(function () {ele.click();}, __cnt__++*500); });

This code you just pasted into your Chrome browser console will follow all of the accounts within their followers that you don't currently follow. The code will automatically stop and produce errors once you hit your daily follow limit.
Following diligently and putting to practice your tutorial. Blessings!
Health › Re: How To Prepare Fonio Grain (hungry Rice) Aka ACHA To Order 0.8.0.6.6.6.4.6.8.6.8 by wakes(op): 5:58pm On Aug 22, 2016
wakes:
Fonio, quinoa – what’s next?!

Quinoa, unknown to many just five years ago, is a grain many American families now consider a weekly staple. But the cost of our food fads can impact the very farmers that bring us those crops. Spikes in demand run up prices for grains like quinoa and corn and the result is that farmers can’t afford to buy their own crops to feed their families. (frowning)

And then along comes fonio: “The most nutritious grain you’ve never heard of“.

Not only is that phrase true, it’s the name of a short documentary by GLP films and National Geographic (which you can watch below). They dive into the story of an unknown grain from West Africa that is one of the healthiest, easiest to grow and drought-resistant crops out there.

As it turns out, I ate fonio (pronounced phone-yo), unknowingly when I visited West Africa in 2003. I didn’t know what grain I was eating, but it was a staple at every single meal.

Fonio is amazing because it’s:

Drought-resistant, making it easier to grow in climates facing increased water scarcity
Incredible healthy, having properties to help combat diabetes and obesity
Gluten-free
Rich in minerals like magnesium, zinc and manganese
Doesn’t require the use of pesticides or fertilizers (!!)
High in amino acids
Been around for over 5,000 years (that’s how long yoga has been around to give you some perspective)
Aids in fighting malnutrition of women and children
Low on the glycemic index
More resilient than modern day crops
Prepping fonio is labor intensive and creates jobs in West Africa
And… it grows in poor soil
fonio_the_new_quinoa
Fonio farming family in northern Mali
In Mali mythology fonio is called “the seed of the universe” and after learning about it, I’d have to agree.

The documentary “The most nutritious grain you’ve never heard of” interviews Dr. Salimata Wade, Professor of Physiology and Human Nutrition at University of Dakar. She states that fonio is a key to help combat world hunger, the crop can be planted and grown several times in one year and it’s organic in production which is “what people want these days”.

How do you buy fair trade fonio?

Thanks to the team at GLP films, they pointed to the only fair trade fonio company called Ethiquitable where farmers are getting paid well for their hard work.

The good news is you can buy fonio in most African marketplaces and some speciality shops.

How do you prepare fonio?

Fonio is a type of millet and according to the Guardian it’s,

a cross between couscous and quinoa, in both appearance and texture” with a nutty flavor.

To cook fonio [/b]you simply put 1 part fonio to 3 parts water. I would use a rice cooker like I do for all my grains, but if you make it on the stovetop, bring it to a boil, then let simmer until fluffy and soft. For a fancier spin you can try the Seasame Fonio recipe from Splendid Table.

[b]I predict fonio will become the next best thing
, and it’s my hope that the popularization of this grain will help West African farmers, combat global malnutrition and disease and will spark a movement to discover more “orphan crops” that can help us feed our growing population.


A kilogram of fonio goes for #1500.
To order 0.8.0.6.5.3.8.7.8.1.9.
The healthiest and most delicous grain I have ever tasted is fonio. It is highly recommended for those suffering from diabetes. It works!

Health › Question: How Can Moringa Help You Lose Weight? by wakes(op): 2:09pm On Aug 20, 2016
I keep receiving calls from people who really want to know how to lose weight using moringa seeds. Others ask: How do I use moringa to lose weight? Still others comment with questions like: what is the effective way to lose weight using Moringa?
I want to believe that you too have probably asked one of these questions:
What is the moringa dosage for weight loss?
How does moringa cause weight loss?
How does moringa help you lose weight?
How can moringa help you lose weight?
How does moringa make you lose weight?
How can I use moringa leaves for weight loss?

The truth is moringa does help a lot with weight loss. There are scores of people who have lost weight from consistent use of moringa oleifera.
________________________________________
Did you notice my choice of words? The keyword is consistency. So I want to first debunk the theory that moringa is a quick fix weight loss pill. It is NOT! You have got to use it for some time to see the desired results... How long? You asked. Honestly that is dependent on one or two factors.

FACTORS AFFECTING WEIGHT LOSS WITH MORINGA
1. Your lifestlye.
Healthy eating habits are key to effective weight loss. If you have been consuming junk foods as a way of life, that may hinder your weight loss dreams. So the first thing you want to do is to change your eating habits. Adopt healthy eating habits. Stop in between meals. Eat two or three times a day at defined times and not five to six times a day as you have been doing before. Stop the snacks and soft drinks you take at sight. Eat your last meals latest by 7pm. Now I am being hard on you right? Smiles smiley...

But that is the honest truth. Now this may not be easy. It takes discipline to achieve this. That way, it will be easier and faster for moringa to help you lose the extra weight. So Moringa also needs you cooperation huh?

2. Discipline
You have got to discipline yourself to adopt new eating habits. It takes you denying yourself of the sweet drinks and snacks that you have come to like so much. And when I say discipline, you have got to really discipline yourself.

Let me tell you my story. I used to like taking sugar a lot. Not just taking sugar, I mean taking lots of sugar at a time. Those days, each time I am to sip garri (food made from dried granulated cassava) as a student, I would literally 'load' the garri with not less than two big spoons of sugar. I would make sure it was so sweet else I wouldn't enjoy it. I remember when some of my roommates during the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) advise me against taking sugar and I would give deaf ears to them.

Not until I met my wife, who educated me about the disadvantages of taking sugar and I STOPPED at once. Now I no longer take sugar nor drink any soft drinks(Coke, Fanta, etc). Note: I am not demarketing these brands though. But as for me, Never again!
Was it easy for me? No way! It struggled with it. But eventually I adopted the new lifestyle. Now I can afford to sip garri without sugar and still enjoy it. So it takes discipline, friend.

Now you have to start training your tongue to eat bitter things e.g.bitter cola. O Yes! And the moment you get used to that, you have successfully adopted a new lifestyle. Adding moringa leaf powder to your meals will now become easier and eventually your weight loss goal will be achieved.

3. Your current weight
It will take one who is weighing 100kg longer to lose weight to an appreciable size than it will take another person who is weighing only 60kg. So your current weight is also a factor that will determine how long it will take you to lose weight.

It takes determination to achieve any worth while goal. So the same thing applies to your weight loss goal. But the good news is that with Moringa you are better off at achieving your weight loss goals healthily.

Read how others are enjoying losing weight using Moringa and how you too can.

So, exactly...

HOW DOES MORINGA HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT?
MORINGA ENHANCES FASTER METABOLISM
I will explain metabolism and its connection to weight loss and/or weight gain to help you understand better. Metabolism is simply how your body produces energy by combining food and oxygen(burning calories) in the cells by a cell part that is called mitochondrion.
Your body is always carrying out metabolism even when you are at rest in which case it is known as basal metabolism.
You gain weight when you eat more calories than your body is able to burn — or when your body burns fewer calories than you eat.

Some people seem to have a faster metabolism than others therefore being able to burn food faster thereby losing weight quicker and easier than those who have a slower metabolism. So everyone will lose weight when they burn up more calories than they eat. Therefore, to lose weight, you need to create an energy imbalance by eating fewer calories or increasing the number of calories you burn through physical activity or both. Very simple isn't it?

Our dear Moringa has got lots of polyunsaturated fatty acid: Omega-3 fatty acids (the good fat) which ramps up body metabolism. That is why you hear people say they have more energy when they consume moringa. What it simply means is that their bodies are put in overdrive, burning calories faster and that eventually enhances weight loss. Omega 3 oil enhances circulation of blood to the muscles during exercise and helps to stimulate enzymes which translocate fats to where it can be used up for energy. You see now?

So go ahead and get some moringa right away to start your healthy weight loss journey

MORINGA SUPPRESSES YOUR APPETITE
One way Moringa helps you to lose weight is by making you eat less. But how? Moringa has a way of suppressing your appetite. But the good news is that it has already supplied your body with the necessary and required nutrients. Imagine having a dose of over 50 nutrients comprising high volume of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, etc.

Your body will be well nourished. Though you are eating less but you have all your nutritional needs met by our dear moringa (especially the leaf powder). So you are not starving. That makes you naturally avoid snacking actually. So moringa will help you to stay disciplined.
So moringa suppresses appetite, makes you feel full and therefore eat less. That is one way moringa helps you to lose weight.


Hear what someone said about moringa and appetite on Hubpages:
"Moringa might have sped up my metabolism but it also curbed some of my cravings, specifically my cravings for sweets and carbs. Usually, I’m a bread and pastries friend. I like donuts and I love homemade bread, fresh from the oven. When I drink the moringa tea, my cravings for carbs seem to be slightly less. I still enjoy a slice of fresh-baked bread with real butter, but I don’t take a second slice. I can easily pass up the Snickers bar I used to have mid-afternoon and I just don’t crave that bowl of ice cream that I used to crave."

MORINGA IS A CHOKEFUL OF DIETARY FIBER
MY GUAVA FRUITS STORY
When I was a kid, I ate lots of guava fruits. I loved taking them so much so that I could eat twenty guava fruits at a sitting. And after eating that much I would feel like I had eaten a bowl of pounded yam with 'nyam toho'(Bush Meat). If you are from this side of the world, you know what that means to a Tiv man! smiley. Little did I know that it is the fiber content of the guava fruits that made me feel full that way.

1 cup of Guava has 9g of fiber. Question: how much fiber is there in what quantity of moringa? According to Wikipedia, as shown in the picture below, 100g of moringa pods contain 3.2g fiber. So eating moringa supplies you with appreciable quantity of dietary fiber which in turn aids weight management. Ideally, one needs about 38g of dietary fiber daily to enhance best weight management.

Now just like my guava story, what makes you feel full is the fiber in the moringa. If you are eating the moringa seeds, eat with the peels to enhance faster weight loss. This goes to curb hunger pangs and cravings. And remember, with moringa, you have got your nutritional needs covered. So you are not just feeling full and starving. You are actually fed and feeling full courtesy moringa fiber!


MORINGA AND DETOXIFICATION
There are so many detox programs out there that are quite helpful. What is the main reason for detoxification? It helps to take away toxins from your body. That means weight loss is just a by-product of detoxification isn't it? Exactly.

Gerbstadt explains it this way: Most detox diets do help you lose weight quickly, but that initial loss is mostly water. “The fat doesn’t start to seriously come off until you are about three weeks into a diet—about the same time most of these diets end,”
The advice? Do not see detox as a way of losing weight fast. But see as a way starting a new and healthy lifestyle: eating more raw fruits and vegetables, less meat and more fish.

How does Moringa detox help with weight loss then?
Moringa seeds particularly have a great detoxifying effect to help scrub your bowel of waste and toxins allowing you to fully absorb nutrients from the foods you eat. What more? It helps you lose a bit of weight in the process. But remember this is not a quick fix program. But does it work in the long run? Absolutely! You will soon read testimonials of real people who have lost weight using Moringa over time.

I just remember the case of a woman who called me about three to four years ago and was like she had been swallowing one moringa seed per day for a period of one year. The result? She said she had lost weight and looked so younger and more beautiful that a lot of people started to admire her. Now you see, she took just one seed over a long period of time.

CAUTION: Please do not take moringa seeds for that long consistently. It is not correct!
How long is ideal then? Two to Three months is just ok if you are taking it daily on a consistent basis.

Now...

"...THIS IS NOT A CURE ALL. But it sure has helped me. I lost 20lb, I was no longer vitamin deficient .
I immediately saw results with energy and that alone was good for me. I did have to drink this before I was able to get out of bed. But once I drank it I was pretty good to go. It took awhile to (a year and a half) before I was really doing great. I wasnt running or doing heavy work outs like some claim. But I was able to cook a Holliday dinner BY MYSELF.

oracle009:
I'm following keenly. I want to ask a question. Can I extract oil from seeds that were dried and stored before purchase? Like the dried ones from the north

Wakes
Yes please, Oracle. Only let it not be too long in storage. Usually oil content in seeds begin to reduce after two years of storage. So always find out from the Sellers HOW LONG the seeds have been stored. Always buy same year seeds, if possible.

And don't dry the seeds for TOO LONG under the sun either. This makes seeds too dry and difficult for oil extraction too. So two hours under hot sun is just OK.

I hope this helps you dear.

God bless Benue state,

Well thought out. If you are an indigene of Benue, THINK of what YOU can DO in your own way to MAKE A DIFFERENCE. You can do something POSITIVE not necessarily to STOP what is wrong but what can add value to the state. THINK in those lines. BENUE IS BLESSED!
