This is a matter type we handle here. I suggest the person concerned lodged complaints through the union of Nigerians in SA. I know they are strong and also the person should get full names of these people and make this into a letter forwarded to the Foreign Affairs Minister in Nigeria. The Union is on Facebook with the name "Nigerian Union South Africa-NUSA" |

Although walking, dancing and swimming are rated the best exercises during pregnancy and are usually recommended for pregnant women by their doctors, they are not the only exercises a pregnant woman should engage in. There are other simple and very definite exercises that can also be applied to help make pre-natal period memorable. These exercises help a pregnant woman to improve her core strength, strengthen her lower back, tone-up, stretch and relax her muscles and also help her to easily regain her shape after delivery. Most of the exercises are very beneficial to newborns’ brain development. Other exercises include in-door stationary cycling, step or elliptical machine. Others are… Cat-cow pose: This is a yoga stretch, and it is a great way to get your spine moving. It prevents back pain during pregnancy. Get on your knees with your palm on the floor and gently rock from cat to cow pose. It will get your spine and back very strong. Donkey kick: The donkey kick is a combination exercise that incorporates the arm and shoulder stability, hip and leg strength and core abdominal stability. This exercise also strengthens the lower back. While on your palms and knees, slowly stretch your right leg backward and your left leg forward. Alternate after five seconds. Wall press: Pressing against the wall during pregnancy is a great way to strengthen and improve strength. Stand away from the wall a little, with your palm on the wall slowly press your body into the wall by bending your elbow. Yoga: This form of exercise is like a spiritual route to relaxed mind and healthy body. During pregnancy, your body goes through lots of changes that are not only physical but also hormonal. Pre-natal yoga brings peace and quietness during this intense special period. It strengthens and calms your body and mind. https://sapostiks./2015/04/30/exercises-for-pregnant-women/ |

Aso Rock exit: Jonathan to live in luxury island villa After May 29, President Goodluck Jonathan will leave the Aso Villa. SIMON UTEBOR was at the President’s Otuoke, Bayelsa State-country home where he is expected to retire to The air around the sprawling estate is amazingly cool. Looking around, the answer to this quickly dawns on our correspondent. The estate is opposite a creek, and the rolling breeze keep coming. It is Otuoke, the home town of President Goodluck Jonathan. Otuoke is a small island community in the Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. And there, the estate sprawls over a large expanse of land contrasting sharply with its rustic surrounding. It is said to belong to President Jonathan. On the long road to the gates, soldiers and members of other security agencies, apparently on sentry duty, walked on the grounds. The overall air suggested guarded and protected serenity. No one needs the gift of clairvoyance to understand they are approaching a restricted zone. Behind the gates, shoving their heads above the walls are no fewer than eight different structures apparently for different purposes: recreation, security posts and guard quarters. A visitor to Otuoke will not be penalised for calling the place a fortress. Activities in this place, a source within said had been at a lull until a couple of weeks ago. And it is largely believed that come May 29, after the expiration of his tenure, President Jonathan would relocate to the place. As if the President had the premonition that he would not live in Aso Rock beyond 2015, he was reported to have begun acquiring properties adjacent his sprawling country home by late 2013. The President, SUNDAY PUNCH gathered, acquired properties on an area which runs to about seven acres of Otuoba which were around his mansion that had been there earlier. The place was thereafter expanded to encase the mansion while new structures were erected round it. It was also gathered that adequate compensation was paid to the owners of these properties to enable them relocate elsewhere. It was learnt that Jonathan after acquiring those buildings in 2013, engaged the services of a construction company, Jiito, to expand the estate to accommodate his new acquisition. Today, Jonathan’s mini – estate, which overlooks a creek that links Otuoke to other coastal communities of Bayelsa, is a cynosure of all eyes. A visit to Otuoke on Thursday showed that Jonathan’s mansions, which had been undergoing construction and reconstruction in the last 10 years are now ready for habitation. The area they sit on is best described as an island. It was learnt that before now, each time the President visited Otuoke, he usually slept in his wife’s (Patience) castle which is directly opposite the Federal University, Otuoke. It was also learnt that the Jonathans own the choicest properties in Otuoke. The President was said to have built a two-storey building each for his mother and father opposite his own. His wife, Dame Patience, asides a hotel, is also said to have numerous buildings that have been converted into hostels for FUO female students. On the readiness of the Jonathans to return to Otuoke, one of the military personnel guarding his houses said all the mansions in the estate were ready except one. The soldier, who declined to give his name, said the contractors were fixing air conditioners and window blinds on the last mansion. The security operative said, “I can tell you that the houses are ready. Everything is in order. It remains only one building where the contractors are putting window blinds, curtains and air conditioners. “I overheard some of the workers saying that they had been instructed to finish the last building before the second week of May. I think it is because the President is returning home. “As of now, no domestic staff or relatives are living here. All his relatives have their homes. It is only military men and policemen that are living in some of the buildings. “Even at that, many buildings are left unoccupied because the buildings are so massive and it will take a community to occupy them.” The soldier, who said he had been living at the place for the past four years, claimed some of the President’s domestic staff were in his Kpansia, Yenagoa mansion, which he built while he was Deputy Governor of Bayelsa. That the President will be returning to Otuoke according to the soldier, is only symbolic, stressing that apart from the mansions at Otuoke, Jonathan and his family members have numerous buildings at Okaka Estate, off Isaac Boro Expressway in Yenagoa. Many residents of Otuoke are indeed longing to see President Jonathan, one of their illustrious sons, return home. For them, Jonathan has made Otuoke, once a relatively unknown place, known to people outside it and turning it to a city to be reckoned with. A resident, Prere Goodthinking, said though President Jonathan lost his re-election bid, he is God-sent, not only to Bayelsa people but to the entire country. Prere said, “Whether people like it or not, Jonathan can best be described as an icon of Nigeria’s democracy. He is a man of peace, a gentleman and a great statesman. “He has proved to the whole world that he is not a power-monger. He has shown the world that his ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. We want other leaders to emulate him. We are going to celebrate his return and I hope Nigerians and the world will also celebrate our illustrious son.” Another resident, who gave his name only as Ebilari, said Jonathan had made Otuoke to be on the world map for good reasons. She said, “About 12 years ago, Otuoke was a jungle. Most houses there were decrepit. But today, you can see that the place that was once a hamlet has become a wonderful city. “Buildings are springing up everywhere. Life has become more meaningful for the people. Before you mention three prominent places in Bayelsa, Otuoke must come up. Thus, we are proud of our son Jonathan. We are waiting enthusiastically to receive him after his national assignment on May 29.” Aso Rock exit: Jonathan to live in luxury island villa http://sapostiks..com/2015/04/aso-rock-exit-jonathan-to-live-in.html

biafransoul:WHERE IS THIEF BOLA TINUBU? |
Mixing alcohol and energy drinks poses a serious public health risk. The explanation is because people who drink heavily, become more intoxicated, and have more negative drinking consequences when they ingest both energy drinks and alcohol, compared to when they only use. Drinking either alcohol and energy drinks on the same day or combining the two at the same time tends to cause you to spend more time drinking—thus consuming more alcohol—than you would have without the caffeinated drinks. image The result of spending more hours drinking raises blood alcohol levels to higher peaks. But because of the stimulant effects of energy drinks, you would feel less drunk than you actually are. “This can have serious potential health impacts, for example if people don’t realize how intoxicated they actually are and decide to drive home,” Patrick said. But a similar study conducted by the Department of Community Health at the Boston University School of Public Health found that it wasn’t necessarily the combination of alcohol and caffeine that posed a risk, but the profile of the drinkers themselves that led to negative consequences. It appears that the consumption of caffeinated alcoholic beverages has a direct effect on increasing risk by masking intoxication and making it easier for you to consume more alcohol. It also appears that consumption of alcohol with caffeine may itself be a marker for engaging in riskier behaviour.” Energy drinks claim to stimulate the mind and body plus provide a boost of energy but can have adverse effects when mixed with alcohol. Mixing energy drinks with alcohol as a means of getting a high without getting sleepy is potentially hazardous. Steve Clarke, director of the College Alcohol Abuse Prevention Centre, warns against mixing these energy drinks with alcohol. Fatigue is the body’s way of saying it’s had enough to drink and it’s dangerous to continue to try to fool your body that you’re not as drunk as you really are, he said. Even though (the energy drink) has stimulants in it, the alcohol is still going to have similar effects on you. You may feel more alert but actually the alcohol is having the same effect on you. So you might perceive that you are less impaired when in actuality you are not less impaired. High levels of caffeine can boost heart rate and blood pressure, causing palpitations, according to National Institute of Health. Mixing these drinks with alcohol further increases the risk of heart rhythm problems. Energy drinks have a lot of stimulants in them like ginseng and taurine, while alcohol is a depressant so by mixing the two you’re sending mixed messages to your nervous system which can cause cardiac related problems. The appeal behind mixing energy drinks with alcohol is the promise of sustained rush that would allow people to go on drinking longer into the night and combat hangovers. Alcohol makes people dehydrated, which is one of the reasons why people have hangovers, and the caffeine in the energy drinks is a diuretic which also causes people to lose water. So it makes the effects of dehydration worse. It would be more positive to alternate non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages because it will keep you hydrated and decrease the negative effects of alcohol. https://sapostiks./2015/04/18/alcohol-with-energy-drinks-a-dangerous-combination/ |
Posted By Okechukwu Nwokafor THE 1967-70 Nigeria Civil War, for the Igbo was a battle of historic survival against the forces of national darkness that roamed in the form of periodic unrestrained anti-Igbo riots and massacres, and subsequently the chilling pogrom of 1969. It was not only a battle for survival but for the upholding of the Igbo man’s dignity, which, as previously feared got swallowed up by the events of the civil war. Those who supported Biafra did so not because of the capability of the Igbo to win the war against the World Powers-supported Federal might but for the case of conscience. The likes of Presidents Houphouet-Boigny of Cote d’Voire, Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, Omar Bongo of Gabon, Papa Doc of Haiti and to some extent Siaka Stevens of Sierra Leone, Jomo Kenyata of Kenya, William Tolbert of Liberia, and the French Government of the time did so out of conscience against the forces of darkness that ruled Nigeria at that time. This explains why, even at the final defeat of the Igbo they never abandoned their vanquished friends-turned brothers. Today there are sprawling Igbo populations in these countries with many of them not only becoming full citizens of their host countries, but even playing very important Government roles. As the Igbo would often say, “no land exists without the presence of the lizard”. So it has become customary to say that no battle takes place without the active roles of saboteurs. The Nigeria civil war, like any such war of its kind no doubt witnessed a number of Igbo citizens playing the Vidkun Quisling role against their own people, sabotaging the survivalist sacrificial efforts of their down-trodden people by supporting the Federal troops, prophesying the doomsday for their people’s struggle for survival. These people not only celebrated the defeat of their own people but shamelessly rushed to seek Federal Government appointments and contracts while those who sacrificed, endured and survived remained in perpetual penury for decades and for life. Today, Reverend Ejike Mbaka in the event of General Muhammadu Buhari’s victory presents himself as a champion of God’s prophecy, just because he vaingloriously assumed that his words are the words of God verbatim. But there remain certain clear indices to determine if an event is truly the act of God in the manner a visioner or soothsayer presented it. We know that Ejike Mbaka is from Awgu district in Enugu State and it is not disputable that his people of Enugu State overwhelmingly voted for President Goodluck Jonathan. Secondly, Mbaka should let us know if the massive failure of the Jega’s rigging machine miscalled Card-readers was the act of God. Thirdly, let Father Mbaka tell Nigerians how the God he worships approved the fraudulent permission of under-aged children to vote in the northern part of the country. For we all know that the God of the Roman Catholic Church of which Reverend Father Mbaka belongs is a just God who hates cheating in whatever form it is presented. Unless Reverend Mbaka is telling us that he has another God other than the one Almighty God we all know and acknowledged.Yes, if the victors said the defeat of Biafra was the act of God, the Igbo could not have denied such a statement, just as the on-going victory of the blood-sucking Islamic State in Syria and the Levante (ISIS/ISIL) and their budding children in Nigeria called Boko Haram could also be attributed to the act of God. Those who truly worship God in truth and spirit through any form or medium truly know that God’s ways are hard to fully predict by mortal man. For whatever it was worth, the massive Igbo support for President Jonathan was a patriotic call to duty. Yes, President Jonathan might not have met the greater part of our expectations from him as the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. But for the Igbo, he wiped out the ignominious tears of second-fiddlers in Federal Government affairs. For the first time since the end of the Nigeria civil war, the Igbo occupied in one stroke the positions of Secretary of the Government of the Federation, two Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces at the same time – the Army and Navy. At least the second Niger Bridge is presently under construction. Beyond these, the massive Igbo support for the President was a cementing force that eventually obliterated the political cancer of rivalry and mutual mistrust between the Igbo and their South-South ethnic brothers that began with Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and Professor Eyo Ita in the 1950s. Today, the contentious State creation agitation by these neighbours of the Igbo from the defunct Igbo-dominated Eastern Region has been resolved with the existing multiplicity of States. The civil war has come and gone. But could we say that the reason for which the Igbo took up the arms of defence against the Federal Government no longer exists? The Niger Delta militants took up arms against the Federal Government in defence of their rights and have through that experience chiefly identified who their friends and foes are. Have the Igbo actually identified who their friends and foes are in the matrix of present politics? The historical experience of any people so oppressed like the Igbo, no matter how checkered it might be, fundamentally calls for reflection and in essence a lesson. The emergence of General Muhammadu Buhari as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria most importantly calls for reflection primarily for the Igbo. It is a matter that evidently put the Igbo on the balance of sustained political principle via-a-vis a taciturn principle of progressive opposition or wobbling edifice of political harlotry. The present balance of political equation beckons on true Igbo patriots to stand firm and hold the bull of politics by its horn of emerging political challenges. The greatest political disaster the Igbo will attract on themselves is for the crop of her political leaders to aimlessly drift to the soon to emerge ruling APC in the name of being afraid to be in opposition. What is most important for the present political terrain is for both the South East and South-South to further cement the political gains of common solidarity for Jonathan by building a strong force of opposition. What has become customary in the acquisition of political power in Nigeria today, except for the Igbo, is that ethnic generated conflicts often end in Presidential compensation. President Olusegun Obasanjo reaped from the blood-watering conflict of June 12 presidential election annulment. President Umar Yar’Adua benefited from the dastard incarceration and eventual death of his senior brother in the hands of General Sani Abacha. President Goodluck Jonathan invariably reaped from the Niger Delta struggles for economic emancipation. And now, can one deny the fact that General Muhammadu Buhari evidently reaped from the on-going Boko Haram insurgency? What did the Igbo reap from the 30-month long civil war? The Igbo had since the end of the civil war engaged in competitive licking of the political ass of most past Federal Governments except in fact that of President Jonathan. Will this be the case with President Muhammadu Buhari? url]http://sapostiks..com/2015/04/igbo-and-fallacy-of-mbakas-gods.html?m=1 [/url] |
THE recent verbal threat against Ndigbo in Lagos by the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has brought to fore, once again, the endangered position of Igbos in Nigeria. It is foolhardy for anyone to pretend about this. For the Igbos themselves, it is self-deception not to face the reality of this precarious situation. From the North, and now down to the West, hangs the foreboding cloud of hostility against them. It has always loomed, hence they are made scape goats at the slightest displeasure of their fellow Nigerians. I am not an ethnic jingoist or apologist. I do not believe in ethnicism, as a matter of fact. I am not writing this article because I am an Igbo, not even because I am a Nigerian. I am writing it because I am a civilized human being who understand and believe in the ethos of a civilized society. The records of the victimization of Ndigbo since after the independence of Nigeria is very glaring. From the holocaust against them in Northern Nigeria preceding the civil war and during the war to the abandoned property saga in Port Harcourt; from the infamous twenty pounds to every bank account holder irrespective of how much was in the account before the war to the post war intermittent riots and ensuing massacre and destruction of properties in the North, the Igbo man has been the sacrificial lamb of Nigeria. Count all that the Igbos have gone through in Nigeria and it will be surprising to many that they are still existing and surviving. The only thing strange about the appalling utterances of the Oba is that it came in a democratic era and bothers on the inalienable rights of the people to vote according to their conscience. Voters are wooed by every legitimate means to vote for candidates in election but not by threat. A ruler at his level and in a cosmopolitan city like Lagos is expected to be up to date with prevailing social realities. There is nothing wrong for him to summon Igbo leaders and solicit for their votes for his candidate, but to resort to threat belies all civilized norms. It smacks of primitivism for anyone, no matter how highly placed, to arrogate to himself the power of life and death. It is also shameful when a despot announces to the whole world that he single handedly picked a candidate for a position as big as a state governor. It makes mockery of APC’s internal democracy. The so-called power brokers, it does not matter in what guise they operate, are the problems of Nigeria. They pretend to be benefactors but they are rather destroyers. What message was the Oba sending across to Nigerians with his unguarded utterances against a section of the country? He thought he was helping his candidate, but he was unknowingly hurting him, creating enemies for him, robbing him of some valuable votes. Some decent Lagosians who would have voted for him might have had a rethink. When a person in authority refuses to recognize the limit of his power, he becomes a nuisance to himself and others. There are some questions that should beckon on us at this time. What happens to the polity if Sultan of Sokoto, Emir of Kano, Obi of Onitsha, Oba of Benin, Obong of Calabar and all notable traditional rulers in Nigeria issue the same threats to non-indigenes in their domain? War drums will sound everywhere and our democracy will become a charade. Those who should be guardians to all Nigerians in their domain should not succumb to divisive tendencies to denigrate their offices. Covert partisanship is not known to traditional institutions like obaship. The conspiracy of silence that has followed the threat of the Oba is quite worrisome. Since the hate speech was made last Sunday, I have been following Nigerian papers to see the reactions of people. Apart from Lagos state chapter of PDP, Femi Fani-Kayode, Ohaneze Youth Council and a section of the Catholic Church, no notable Nigerian or organisation said anything about it. Newspapers and columnists have not commented on it. Shallow minds may give political or ethnic interpretation to it, but discerning minds will give realistic perspective to it. If Lagosians from other ethnic groups are silent because they are not involved, they are living in a fool’s paradise. It can be their turn tomorrow. If all Nigerians had read, or rather understood, the hand writing on the wall in 1966, the country wouldn’t have been at the crossroads it is today. The ever loquacious APC media team is quiet because the Oba campaigned for them. Self-delusion, isn’t it? The bane of Nigerian politicians who think about themselves only and not about the country. They are insincere at keeping quiet about evil when it benefits them, forgetting that they may be at the receiving end in future. This hate speech is not about Ndigbo, it is not about politics; it is about a Nazist, a Hitler endangering the rest of the world because of his obsession for superiority. This is about the tyranny of one man which can compromise our electoral process and the unity of the country. Nigerians should arise to condemn it so that it does not happen again. I just imagine if this threat had emanated from an emir in the North or an Eze from the East,by now the papers would have been awash with reactions and calls for the arrest of the Emir or Eze. Where are the Lagos based human rights activists and lawyers? Where are the newspapers and their columnists? Where are the commentators on public affairs? Are the Igbos not part of Nigeria? This conspiracy of silence over this “verbal holocaust” as someone called it, is a grim reminder of how endangered Ndigbo are in Nigeria. Sadly enough, they do not seem to realise this. The Oba feels threatened by a people that have come to own more than half of Lagos. It is only a blind man that stumbles twice over the same stone. http://sapostiks..com/2015/04/who-will-help-ndigbo.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed:+Sapostiks+(SAPOSTIKS)&m=1 |

Faith is an expression of hope for something better. More than a wish, it is closer to a belief, but not quite. A belief is rooted in the mind. Faith is based in the heart. We act in faith when there is no guarantee, no certainty. No one knows what kind of life an infant will have, yet people continue to have children. No one can know how life with our mates will turn out, yet we continue to have faith our relationships will last a lifetime. Faith speaks the language of the heart. It is an expression of hope that goes beyond the conscious mind. All that we hold precious rests upon a faith in people, their potential not yet fulfilled. The evidence of history points us in a different direction—the world is full of ugliness, brutality, and injustices. Yet there is also tenderness, kindness and concern and that takes the bigger part of our hearts. Without faith in ourselves we would hold ourselves cheap, and without a faith in others we could never live as free people. This is the water that quenches parched souls. Here is a famous parable: Once a traveler came across an old woman who was stooped over what appeared to be thin sticks. He asked the woman what she was doing. “I am planting orange trees,” she explained. The traveler thought this was a waste of her time. “Why do you bother?” he asked. “You are an old woman. These saplings will take years before they will be old enough to bear fruit. You will be long gone by then.” “True enough,” she answered. “But I don’t plant these trees for myself but for those who will come after me, just as those before me planted the trees that bear the fruit that I eat today.”………….

Ohanaeze endorses APC for Abia, Imo guber polls • Mandates Ralph Obioha, Kalu to sensitise voters BY DORIS OBINNA Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the pan-Igbo socio-cultural organisation, has directed voters in Imo and Abia states to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Saturday's governorship and House of Assembly elections. It also congratulated President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, as well as President Goodluck Jonathan for conceding defeat. In a statement issued yesterday after a meeting in Enugu, the Caretaker Committee of Ohanaeze, led by Chief Ralph Obioha, stated that voting for APC in the election has become necessary in order to integrate Igbo into the party and the emerging political equation. To actualise this, Ohanaeze directed Obioha to lead the sensitisation campaign in Imo to ensure that voters support the re-election bid of Governor Rochas Okorocha, while urging former Abia State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, to "galvanise Abia to vote massively for the governorship candidate of APC." It called on other candidates in Abia governorship race to step down for Mr. Nyerere Anyim of the APC. The statement reads: "The meeting resolved as follows: Voters in Imo State should massively vote for Governor Rochas Okorocha in order to ensure that our link in APC is firmed up. To practically accomplish the task, a team led by Chief Ralph Obioha is mandated to move into Imo State and do its best to sensitise Imolites on the need to vote massively for Governor Rochas Okorocha and members of the state Assembly. "That the former governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, should galvanise Abia State to vote massively for the governorship candidate of APC and for the sake of Igbo, requests all other candidates to step down for the APC candidate." Ohanaeze also rejected the outcome of the Presidential and National Assembly elections in the South East, saying the results were "manufactured," while lamenting the fate of three former governors from the zone, who contested senatorial election in Abia, Enugu and Anambra states. The group said: "As we have earlier stated, our monitors are vehement that the following senatorial districts: Abia North, Enugu East, Imo East, Anambra Central were clearly won by three former governors and former senator, namely Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani, Dr. Chris Ngige and Chief Osita Izunaso. Emasculating these worthy rising Igbo sons who were extremely popular in their constituencies is absolutely unacceptable. "We are calling on Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a clinical review of this atrocity to the democratic process. We insist on having our truly experienced and tested leaders in the next Senate and the winners should not be rigged out." On the Presidential and National Assembly elections, Ohanaeze said: "The leaders unanimously reaffirmed their congratulation of the winner of March 28 presidential election, General Muhammadu Buhari and all the winners for the Senate and House of Representatives. They also saluted President Goodluck Jonathan for conceding to the result of the election and his courage in accepting the verdict of the Nigerian voters." It expressed concern about the position of Igbo in the emerging new dispensation, with a majority of the attendees supporting the call for Igbo to massively vote for APC in next Saturday's elections. Those who attended the meeting were: Obioha, Chief Enechi, Dr. Zed Chukwujama Onyia, Chief Onwuka Ukwa, Barr. Onuchi Mpi, Chief Sylvester Nwodo, Chief (Sir) Alex Ekwegh, Igu Chikezie, Igwe Aja-Nwachukwu, Prof. Obasi Igwe, Major J.C. Ojukwu (retd), A. K. U. Opia, Sen. (Dr) Offia Nwali, Chief (Barr) Kate Onwe and Mr. Emma Okocha. http://odili.net/news/source/2015/apr/8/513.html |
