Bread and Tea is harmful to pregnant women – Doctor

Bread and Tea is unarguably one of the most popular meals Nigerians consider perfect for breakfast. Asides from the fact that it’s easy and fast to prepare, it is also affordable by every class of people.

Meanwhile, a UK based Nigerian doctor, popularly known as Dr Olufunmiayo on Twitter, took to the platform to advise people to cut down on taking bread and tea together, especially when pregnant.

The doctor highlights the harmful effects of taking bread and tea together by pregnant women. According to him, taking bread and tea together makes it difficult for the body to absorb iron.

The deficiency of iron in pregnancy can cause, premature delivery, or even death of the baby, before or after delivery.

He tweeted;

“If you are pregnant Taking a lot of bread and tea may be harmful for you Too much bread and tea together makes it hard for your body to absorb iron. Iron deficiency in pregnancy can cause: •Tiny baby •Premature delivery •Baby dead before/after delivery. RT pls. Save a life”

“Pregnancy on its own causes low blood levels for many women. Some of these women are placed on iron tablets to boost their blood levels. Now tea/coffee are known to make it difficult for the body to absorb iron.

And when taken with something like bread; the impact is worse. The advice is usually if you can: •Cut down on too much bread and tea together especially if pregnant and you have low iron or you are on iron tablets. •If you must have tea/coffee/bread, give yourself some hours before/after taking iron tablets. I hope this helps. Thank you.”

I pray that almighty God grant his household the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.

“If not for big brother’s house Erica cant even look at Laycon twice in real life” – Nigerian Lady

It’s no news that BBNaija: Lockdown housemate, Laycon is overly interested with current Head of House, Erica, who has made it clear to him that she’s only mentally attracted to him.

The desire of Laycon to be with Erica has been a topic of interest among viewers of the show, as a lot of people are expecting the singer to move on since she has told him already how she feels about him.

In light of this, a viewer of the show has opined that were it not for the Big Brother Naija house, Laycon, in real life wouldn’t have even had the mind to confront Erica and her stance has since caused a stir online.

The lady wrote in a tweet,

Omo let’s not even lie, if not for big brother’s house Erica can’t even look at Laycon twice in rel life

Her stance has since garnered a lot of reactions from viewers as they counter her saying if it weren’t for the BBNaija show, Kiddwaya too wouldn’t have looked Erica’s way.

In related news, Erica and Kiddwaya were earlier caught on camera passionately making out in the head of house room. (See Here)

Recall Erica emerged the fourth HOH and unsurprisingly, picked Kiddwaya as her deputy which automatically guaranteed immunity from eviction and would also give them a much-needed private time to bolster their romantic affair.

The couple seized the opportunity to make out and they were caught on camera.

Another cut in the video showed the moment a dismayed Laycon stared into nothingness, probably filing his mind with what must have been going on in the HOH room.

This is coming after Erica confessed that it was difficult not having sex with Kiddwaya during their first night in the house.

“Thank you for the 8 years of friendship and loyalty” – Nigerian man pens emotional tribute to his dead dog

A Nigerian man identified as Andre Tha Mage on micro-blogging platform, Twitter has mourned his dog Douglas Brown in a heartwarming way.

In an tweet he made on Saturday, August 1, Andre revealed that Brown had taken ill.

However, days later, he said that the dog finally passed away, adding that death brought an end to their “8 years of friendship and loyalty”.

Andre thanked his late pet for being a good listener to issues he couldn’t tell anyone else other than his furry friend.

While penning an emotional tribute, the dog lover added that he would also not forget the bite scars Brown gave him as he said that his love for the dog is forever. “

Thank you for the 8 years of friendship and loyalty, thanks for listening to me when I couldn’t express myself to anyone, I won’t forget the scars from your bite as well, love you forever buddyPleading face❤ RIP Douglas Brown 2012 – 2020.” he wrote.

BBNaija: Eric confirms Nengi and Ozo shower together (video)

BBnaija Eric confirms

Recently evicted Big Brother Naija Lockdown housemate, Eric have confirmed the story that two of the reality TV contestants, Ozo and Nengi have been bathing together in the house.

BBnaija Eric confirms

For privacy reasons, the bathroom area in the BBNaija house is a blindspot for the cameras, hence the viewer’s inability to confirm the story that was making rounds about the housemates taking showers together. However, with this disclosure from Eric, we can’t help but think that something “more” might have happened between the duo.

BBnaija Eric

Apparently, it didn’t happen only once because they have been doing it repeatedly since the first incident that Neo revealed to one of the housemates.

In Nengi’s diary session on Monday, she said she hasn’t slept on the same bed, kissed or done any thing sexual with any guy in the house. I guess we now have reason to question her statement.

#BBNaija: ‘Lilo and I Distracted Each Other,’ Eric Explains

Headline sponsor of the Big Brother Naija show and premium entertainment brand, Betway recently took the newly evicted housemates on an After The House media tour where they visited several radio stations to talk about their time in the house, experiences with other housemates, and life goals moving forward.

While Tochi’s eviction came as a bit of surprise to viewers, we have to admit that seeing Eric leave the house wasn’t a shocker.

Eric had been in a relationship with ex-housemate Lilo, and his relationship with her consumed his time, preventing him from interacting with the other housemates and showcasing his personality to viewers. Even after Lilo’s eviction, Eric still had quite the low-profile week.

Unfortunately, after Lilo was evicted she appeared to blame Eric for her early dismissal from the house. Eric was initially looking forward to continuing his relationship with her, but on hearing what Lilo had said about her relationship with him, he said he was shocked but not surprised, and added that he respected her decision to go back to her boyfriend.

Eric also explained that his relationship with Lilo was not an act or any kind of strategy. and in responding to Lilo’s claim of being distracted by a relationship with Eric, he replied that they distracted each other.

‘Lilo and I distracted each other,’ he said.

When asked about his thoughts about the other housemates, Eric explained that he believes Erica is playing a game with the Laycon/Kiddwaya love triangle, that Nengi’s behaviour in the house is a part of her strategy, and that he would like for Neo to win because he’s a great guy and a good friend.

Eric holds no hard feelings about being voted out, and he has a lot of plans for the future. He wants to get back into fitness, develop an athletics apparel brand, launch a charity foundation, and go back to school to complete his Bachelor’s degree.

Stop spending money on a girl because you want her to love you – Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri

Nigerian Lawyer and social media commenter, Reno Omokri has advised guys to stop spending money on a girl because he wants her to love him.

No matter how much you water a dead plant, it wont produce flowers. Stop spending money on a girl because you want her to love you. That is not how love grows.

“You are only watering her greed. A girl that loves you will love you for you. ‪It is not love. It is a parasitic relationship! Emancipate yourself from financial chemistry!”, he wrote.

Nobody helped the person he cursed – Man reacts to viral ‘600 years’ pastor who received house gift

A Twitter user has spoken up as a Nigerian pastor who went viral after laying curses on a man received a house gift not long after.

Recall that the pastor overheard an unidentified man call him a beggar while he was preaching by the street side got angry and placed a curse on the man to suffer for 600 years.

About a week later, the pastor received a house gift.

Speaking on the matter of the pastor being gifted a house, Monye decried how ”nonsense” is being glorified in Nigeria, while pointing out that nobody offered any gift to the person who was cursed by the pastor.

“The glorification of nonsense in this country is quite alarming. The recipient of the curses received nothing!” he said.

Nigeria added to the list of failed states on Wikipedia

Free Internet-based encyclopedia, Wikipedia, has recently updated its meaning of failed states and cited Nigeria as an example of a failed state. 

Nigeria added

 

According to Wikipedia, a failed state is a political body that has disintegrated to a point where basic conditions and responsibilities of a sovereign government no longer function properly.

The common characteristics of a failing state include a central government so weak or ineffective that it has an inability to raise taxes or other support, and has little practical control over much of its territory and hence there is a non-provision of public services. When this happens, widespread corruption and criminality, the intervention of state and non-state actors, the appearance of refugees and the involuntary movement of populations, sharp economic decline, and foreign military intervention can occur.

In the wake of the happenings in Nigeria in recent years and the description of a failed state, Wikipedia might not be wrong.

Countries also listed by Wikipedia includes; Syria, Somalia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Iraq, Yemen, Turkey, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Rwanda, Liberia, Yugoslavia, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Sudan, South Sudan.

This culture of photographers issuing out fame as a compensation for injustice and poverty is intrinsically flawed — Actress Sylvia Oluchy

Nollywood actress, Sylvia Oluchy has berated photographers who have cultivated the culture of issuing out fame as a compensation for injustice and poverty.

Sylvia Oluchy whose tweets centered on how Olajumoke Orisaguna turned out after she became famous and the recent photo campaigns of the woman whose husband allegedly abandoned for giving birth to daughters with blue eyes, noted that issuing out fame as compensation for injustice and poverty is instrincally flawed.

Her tweets read ;

This culture of photographers issuing out FAME as a compensation for injustice and poverty is instrincally flawed. Fame is not a reward. Fame is actually ENDURED in exchange for living your dreams. Celebrities will tell you their utopia is to keep the success and lose the fame.

People who require fame to boost their craft eg Actors, Musicians, Politicians usually go through a long period termed “paying your dues” where they develop a thick skin and learn to tolerate all the BS that comes with being popular.

Throwing poor illiterates into the spot light is like throwing a baby in the deep end first to teach it how to swim

I recall the breadseller who TY Bello made famous. Illiteracy & her naivety meant she couldn’t convert the sudden fame to anything substantial & there’s always someone lurking to take advantage of her new status. She later complained about how fame ripped her life apart.

Now it’s the woman with the blue eyes who was called a witch by her husband. Today, I saw a beautiful photoshoot on her. Helping someone would be more beneficial if we helped them progress in things they actually do as opposed to treating fame like a proven remedy to any problem.

The bread seller would have been better off if TY Bello helped her raise money to start her own bakery for example.

These photographers have their hearts in the right place but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Anybody in showbiz will tell you that sustaining fame is harder than getting it. Big brother contestants are a good example

What these photographers fail to realize is that unless they are prepared to stay the course, take these people under their wing, mentor and teach them the business of monetizing their fame for nothing less than 5 years. The fame they give them solves nothing long term.

They’ll be used as poster faces for causes by people with their own agenda and then quickly forgotten. But now because they are popular, they can’t go back to their old life and can’t move forward.

We should help people become the best versions of themselves rather than creating a whole new reality for them. This blue eyed woman, what does she do? If she is a petty trader for example. It might be better to get her a bigger shop and give her capital to upgrade her business.

Perhaps these photographers might want to scour for under appreciated talent and issue those ones fame. They will be better prepared to handle it and ready to tolerate the life upheaval because fame is actually something they desire and need desperately.

Fame is HARD, don’t let the glamour on SM fool you. To sustain it, you REALLY need to WANT it. Now that we know her story, thanks to her photoshoot. Helping her grow at whatever it is she already does will be a longer lasting solution to self sufficiency than instant fame.
