How To Survive These Heat Wave

As I write this, I'm virtually naked. even with the fans blazing (no AC were I am at the moment). seems like nature has decided to turn it up, maybe as a reminder that we have to take the climate change thingy a little bit more important.

Kids are just not enjoying their childhoods at the moment as a lot of them are being hospitalized for a plethora of reasons, all connected to the surge in temperature. Temperature is fluctuating between 32C to 41C in most parts of Nigeria at the moment, even Jos the Plateau State Capital, one of the most temperate places in the country has an outlook of 33C today....

At this juncture as our ancestors usually say... let's pray for the rains. talking of rain lets delve into some survival tips for these times;

1. Hydrate as much as possible, water just happens to be your very best friend at these time, especially the ice cold one. it will cool you from within and reduce your body temperature
2. Pour water on your head and the rest of your body as often as possible, has the same effect as drinking it... just that it works from the outside instead of inside these time around.
3. Wear as little clothing as possible, love your life more than a need to impress others now by putting too much on you. plus you wearing a bum short for your man or showing those six pack to your girl is a massive turn on.
4, Invest in an air condition system, at this point its no longer a luxury but a basic neccesity of life... add it to your to do list for month end pleeaase.

Now That The Samsung S8 Is Here

The Samsung S8 has now being unveiled and is subsequently being released into the general market at a starting price of $720 or N270,000... whew! Maybe chicken change to some people, but in a country whose minimum wage is $48 or N18,000, this is huge. Why am I delving into all these figures this hot afternoon? It’s because I'm simply pissed at the greed and insatiable thirst of many Nigerians to spend money that most of them don’t even have, these ones give a demeanor of tech savviness, this has also being proven to be a fake majority of the time. The ills being perpetuated in our society today because of these ever-evolving craze for material things is now a cause for concern, from ladies sleeping around with their grandfather's agemates to young men joining armed robbery gangs to perpetrate mind-boggling crimes…… but all this craze for what please? So the clique will see them as the coolest or most fly dude/chic around? So the social status will be upgraded? I just laugh i

Noodles.... An Enemy In Disguise

We live in a fast-paced world where convenience and ease of use are keywords in virtually all sectors of human existence, Prior to the discovery of noodles at the Lajia archaeological site, the earliest record of noodles appears in a book written during China's East Han Dynasty sometime between A.D. 25 and 220, Lu said. Other theories suggest noodles were first made in the Middle East and introduced to Italy by the Arabs. Whatever the case, this yummy fast food has come to stay and it will remain so for a very long time.....BUT, noodles unknown to many is an innocent looking, yummy tasting enemy to those trying to watch their weights, and for those interested in shedding some kilos. A 120grams of cooked noodles pack a whopping 630 calories, and most adults eat at least 2 of these in a serving, that's around 1300 calories.... 'massive huh'. it will take 2hrs on the treadmill at the average speed to burn that 3minutes fast meal off.. but of course, these shoul

Stuck Between The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea...Our Meningitis Dilemma

As I write this, another person is probably taking their last breath, another victim of the current meningitis epidemic raging through the land. It is appalling that a so-called giant like Nigeria will be the playing field for all manner of dangerous epidemics from polio, to tuberculosis to ebola, to Lassa fever. Nigeria's health budget is an eyesore, accounting for less than 10% of the federal budget. Aside from the paltry sum allocated each year to the most vital sector of all, there is high-level corruption in the management of resources provided by donor countries through their agencies to the Nigerian people. This effectively brings us to a point where funds are grossly inadequate to tackle the plethora of issues facing the health sector in this country. This coupled with the high levels of poverty and squalor that has become the norm for the common man, thereby making him a primary target of all the combo of diseases and plagues...SAD. And herein lies the hard choice,
