OPINION: Shocking Reasons Why Nigerians Die Early

2018-09-04T08:44:00.001+01:00

The life expectancy of Nigerians is said to be below 50 years

Countries like Japan, Britain, China, have life expectancy of over 70 years. The factors responsible for sending many Nigerians to early grave are mostly anthropogenic in nature.

When a typical Nigerian is told the age at which an average Nigeria may die is one or two years less than 50 years, he may look at the person who make such a statement with so much disdain. He believes such a talk is not meant for him. However, the real truth is that some Nigerians sometime go beyond their limit in their day-to-day activities. Many Nigerians over use their body, and place unnecessary burden over their head in order to survive the Nigerian daily hustle.

Some of the briefly stated reasons below are responsible for cutting short the life of many Nigerians.

1. Pollution
Everywhere is polluted in Nigeria, especially fumes coming from generators in the neighbourhoods which has carbon monoxide (CO). The noise, air, water are other forms of pollution.

2. Malnutrition
Poor feeding due to excuse of trying to save money for the rainy days. The economic situation of the country is telling on many people also.

3. Self- medication
There is a wrong notion that the doctor is not needed. Or sometimes, prayers taking over the functions of drugs due to extremism in faith

4. Stress
Society-created stress or self-created stress. No time for vacation. No time to relax with family or friends or to socialise. The hustling and bustling in a state like Lagos, is sometimes abnormal. People leave for work very early and close very late.

5. Little of rest, sleep, exercise and medical check-up
A person that works late into the night and sleep less than four hours everyday should know he is joking with his health and his life. Medically speaking, the average hour a person should sleep in a day is a minimum of six hours. How many Nigerians observe this, not to talk of going for at least an annual medical check-up

5 Best Colours For Aso Ebi Styles

A Nigerian wedding today cannot be imagined without a variety of stunning Aso Ebi styles. Aso Ebi is worn by brides, bridesmaids, and female wedding guests of all ages. Every woman has her own taste in Aso Ebi, but there are also some universal rules for choosing your ideal look. Find out which 5 colours work best in Aso Ebi and shop gorgeous, high quality Aso Ebi styles in Nigeria.

1. Teal green

Teal green is a fantastic choice of an Aso Ebi colour for a summer wedding. It’s a shade that instantly reminds everyone about the cool summer days, ocean water, and endless fun. At the same time teal looks solemn enough for even the most important occasion like your own wedding. If you’re looking for an unusual shade to rock in your Aso Ebi look, you should definitely consider teal green.

2. Silver

There is no better way to make sure everyone’s attention is drawn to you all night than to wear a silver Aso Ebi. Silver fabric looks expensive and festive, which is a great combination for a fabulous wedding look.

Plus, silver is pretty easy to pair with other shades, which means that your choices of accessories are nearly unlimited. You can even go all in and pick a total-silver Aso Ebi look.

3. Burgundy

Burgundy is a favourite colour for millions of Nigerian fashionistas for a reason: it’s one of the few shades that is simply perfect for special occasion styles, even though you rarely see it in everyday fashion.
Burgundy is considered to be a royal shade and it pairs really well with gold - you can often see bridesmaid parties dressed head to toe in burgundy and gold. Many believe burgundy to be a mature colour, but the truth is that is works for any age!

4. Peach

Peach is, perhaps, one of the most versatile colours when it comes to Aso Ebi. Peach looks youthful and fresh on its own, but it can also be successfully paired with dozens of other shades. The most popular colors to combine with peach are teal, mint green, gold, white, and even purple. Thanks to that versatility you can create different Aso Ebi looks for the bridesmaids while also easily keeping to the theme of the wedding.

5. Sapphire blue

Another regal choice of colour for an Aso Ebi look is sapphire blue. This colour is beloved by the rich and famous of the world thanks to being flattering and simply a pleasure to look at.

Sapphire blue pairs truly well with gold and silver, especially if you’re combining silver or gold shoes and purse with a blue Aso Ebi outfit.

The JAMB’s Head of Public Affairs, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, who stated this in a press release, noted that the results of the 350 blind candidates, who took the 2018 UTME, had yet to be released.

The PUNCH had exclusively reported on Monday that the board would release the results of 1.3 million candidates on Monday nationwide, after they had gone through all security checks and found to be without malpractice.

The JAMB spokesperson said on Tuesday that 1.5 million results had been released while 111,981 were withheld for further screening.

Sources at the centre disclosed that the girl, who scored 160, started crying, saying “My father will kill me.”
Another source, who visited the girl’s family residence, disclosed that she had collected three bottles of the poisonous substance from her mother’s shop the previous night.

According to the source, “the father said he did not scold her for her result, but only told her that there is no way she would get admitted to study medicine in the university of her choice.
“Feeling slighted for her poor performance after her encounter with her father, she went to stay with her mum in their shop, collected the poison after they closed.

“She brought it home and drank the content. Her lifeless body was discovered on Wednesday (yesterday) morning.”

The Side Effects Of Having Tattoo On Your Skin

2018-02-18T08:52:00.001+01:00

Its everywhere, people love it and are fascinated and so you made the visit to a tattoo parlor and either have your hand or leg or perhaps neck crested with a tattoo. You feel highly impressed at the designers work of art and can’t wait to show your friends.

Its never a doubt that tattoos are in fact beautiful and pleasing, but it is the long term effects that bothers me. Over 2 million people alone in Argentina, ranging from celebrities, sport stars and even the common man on the street has a tattoo.Tattoo Ink can endanger the health than you could ever imagine. So, before you get a tattoo, here are some side effects that you are likely to encounter as time goes on.

MUST READ: 10 Health Benefits Of Onions, Garlic And Ginger

Side Effects/Danger Of Having Tattoo On Your Skin

1. It Is Permanent, It Makes You Feel Uncomfortable

Tattoos are made by puncturing your outer skin with ink filled needles; this primarily affects the inner layer of the skin.This causes the outer layer to wear out as you grow older but the ink remains permanent on the inner layer.

This means that you tamper with the complexion of your skin and makes it nearly impossible to get back the original color and texture of your skin after tattooing on it.

Well, unless you opt for laser treatment, an external therapy which is so painful and extremely expensive, you might want to consider a rethink before you regret it in the future.

2. Its Chemicals Can Cause Negative Effects

Toxic chemicals like lead, mercury are used in preparing tattoo ink and when these chemicals are injected into your skin via needles, could trigger adverse effects which turns out to be quite detrimental for your skin as it can result to skin cancer and also permeation of major important organs. You should also be aware that tattoo ink is exactly the same as the ones used to paint automobiles and used for printers.

3. It Aggravates Allergies

Because the tattoo ink is composed of strong and toxic chemicals, there are chances of developing a major skin allergy or a break out just after you get a tattoo made on your body. And this is true especially if a person is already allergic or has tendency to catch bacterial infections. You could get red rashes which are although common in appearance, can cause extreme discomfort through itchy and irritable skin.

Hence, get an allergy test done before you go to get that tattoo carved. Common allergies that you might develop are Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Scarring and Eczema.

4. It Cause Life Threatening Diseases

One of the most significant and often neglected aspects of getting a tattoo on your skin is that it can cause life endangering diseases like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV and AIDS. Mainly due to infected needles and maintaining poor hygiene of the entire tattoo carving process. Giving into pleasure in an attempt to look unconventional and stand out from the crowd sounds cool as long as it does not affect your life.

There is no fun in indulging into something that could bring your life to an irrevocable end.

5. Stigma To Your Personality

While tattoos are a beautiful way to express creativity and art, many people in the society are still not very open in their perception about it. Tattoos can attach a stigma to your personality which can make you look rebellious or belonging to a certain genre. This can alter your image when you are out amongst other people.

Sometimes it does serve to boost your social image among friends or people thinking “out of the box” especially painters, musicians, stage performers etc.

At the same time, it could also lead to adverse effects on situations where a more conventional and formal approach is required. So choose wisely and envision the repercussions it would have on your image.

JAMB Extends 2018/2019 UTME Registration

2018-02-07T11:53:00.001+01:00

This is to notify the general public that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the extension of registration for 2018/2019 UTME till midnight of Sunday, 11th February, 2018.

JAMB as a responsive organisation has taken the decision albeit with great hesitation to give room for candidates who failed to register between the two months window period that ended at midnight of Tuesday, 6th February, 2018.

The failure of these candidates to register is unfortunate and the Board hastens to add that this culture of impunity will not be tolerated henceforth. Indeed penalty will be imposed for late registration from next session.

UTME candidates are therefore strongly advised to take advantage of the extension to register as request for further extension would not be entertained.

Registration for Direct Entry candidates however continues.
For emphasis, the 2018/2019 UTME registration now closes at midnight of Sunday, 11th February, 2018.

10 Ways To Keep Your Heart Healthy

2017-12-28T15:01:00.001+01:00

What you eat and drink, your activity level, how you cope with stress and other individual lifestyle factors help determine the health of your heart. Heart disease is a progressive condition that can start early in life but can also be prevented or controlled by making smart lifestyle choices.

Follow a heart-healthy diet, get plenty of exercise, do what you can to reduce stress and live a life of moderation and you will be well on your way to maintaining a healthy heart.

10 Ways To Keep Your Heart Healthy

1. Eat a Low-fat Diet

A heart-healthy diet is low in total fat, saturated fats and trans fats that raise blood cholesterol levels. To cut saturated fat, choose lean cuts of meat and remove skin from poultry before eating. Choose low-fat and fat-free dairy products. To avoid trans fats, check the ingredient list on all commercially processed food products, especially baked goods and crackers, and avoid any that contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

2. Eat More Fiber

Fiber helps lower blood cholesterol levels and helps you feel full, so you are less likely to overeat. A high-fiber diet contains nutrient-packed foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole-grain cereals and breads and legumes, such as black beans, lima beans, chickpeas and lentils.

3. Avoid Stress

The way you handle both personal and professional stress may affect your heart directly, or it may affect other risk factors that lead to heart disease, such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels, physical activity levels and eating, drinking and smoking habits. If you feel overwhelmed by stressful events or respond to stress with poor lifestyle choices, speak to a health care practitioner about healthier ways to cope.

4. Adopt Regular Medical Checkups

See your doctor for an annual physical that includes blood pressure and cholesterol testing and monitoring. Take any medications prescribed to control blood pressure and cholesterol levels as directed or speak to your doctor about alternatives.

5. Reduce Cholesterol Intake

Cholesterol is found only in animal products, such as meat, poultry, dairy products and eggs. Lean and low-fat foods can still be high in cholesterol. Check Nutrition Facts labels to keep track of the cholesterol in your food and consume no more than 300mg daily.

6. Eat Fish

Eat fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines and albacore tuna at least twice a week. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish and in fish oil supplements, can lower blood triglycerides (fats), slow the buildup of plaque in the arteries, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of sudden death from heart attack, according to the American Heart Association.

7. Reduce Weight

Being overweight increases your risk of developing high blood pressure, high blood triglycerides (fats), low levels of healthful HDL cholesterol and heart disease. Losing weight decreases your risk of these and other health conditions that affect your heart, such as diabetes and sleep apnea (obstructed breathing).

8. Regular Exercise

Get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day, or at least on most days. Regular aerobic exercise such as brisk walking, bike riding, stair climbing, swimming, jumping rope, circuit training and dancing keeps your heart fit, raises your levels of protective HDL cholesterol and can help you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Being active at home and at work rather than just sitting for most of the day also contributes to heart fitness.

9. Drink Moderately

Although a glass of red wine contains antioxidants that may help reduce the risk of heart disease and alcohol can cause a slight raise in HDL cholesterol levels, drinking too much alcohol can increase your blood pressure, your triglycerides and your calorie count. Moderate drinking is defined as up to one average-sized drink daily for women and two for men.

10. Quit Smoking

Many different chemicals found in tobacco smoke can damage your heart, according to experts at the Mayo Clinic. Smoking decreases your body's supply of oxygen and causes blood vessels to constrict. Simply cutting back or switching to low-tar and low-nicotine brands of cigarettes is not enough to significantly reduce your risk of heart disease. When you quit smoking, your risk of developing heart disease starts to drop immediately and decreases dramatically within the the first year.

WhatsApp To End Support For BlackBerry And Windows Phone On December 31

2017-12-26T11:39:00.001+01:00

Top messaging app, WhatsApp will stop support for a number of mobile devices after December 31, 2017. The messaging app will end support for ‘BlackBerry OS’, ‘BlackBerry 10’ , ‘Windows Phone 8.0’ and older platforms from December 31, 2017.

WhatsApp says in a blog post that users on these particular mobile devices will not be able to create new accounts, nor re-verify existing accounts once the company ends support.

WhatsApp had earlier announced it will stop support for many of these older platforms. End of support does not mean a user will lose access to their WhatsApp account. WhatsApp says users can continue using the app on their phone, but should not expect any future security updates or new features.

While Windows 8 will be axed down once 2018 begins; WhatsApp will continue support for Windows 8.1 version and higher devices, even though Microsoft itself has admitted that Windows Mobile is dead.

To recall, WhatsApp had extended support for both platforms in June this year. At the time, WhatsApp had also revealed that the app will stop working for phones running Nokia S40 will be stopped from December 31, 2018. The app will stop working on phones running Android 2.3.7 and older (Gingerbread) will be stopped from February 1, 2020. The messaging app became unavailable on Nokia phones running Symbian S60, from June 30, 2017.

In BlackBerry’s case, the company has itself confirmed it will no longer be manufacturing or launching new smartphones, and the BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry OS have been abandoned.
