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 shouldn't stop growing kids, underweight patients, and folk with very healthy weights from indulging once in a while

Coding; The Most Important Skill In The World.

In my job as a business development manager I often come across female clients who I ask a simple question, what do you want to do? And the answers are eerily always similar, its always a business related to fashion, beauty or food. I used to get very excited until it got monotonous to be running development processes for only businesses in these segment of the private sector. Sincerely these industry is getting choked, almost every household now has a “professional” makeup artist, fashionista or food merchant of some sort, these sub sectors are important, but they lay at the bottom of the food chain of human development, food, clothing, and beauty have being in existence since adam in various shades and form, so they are really nothing new or totally innovative about these basics and that’s why these services are being watered down and under priced as the day goes by, the supply of these services are now becoming more than the demand. There was a time when a makeup artist co...

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...
