A man went to the hospital for a small wound on his foot. It didn’t look serious. He was given some antibiotics and sent home.
Three days later, he was in the intensive care unit, unable to recognize his own family. Doctors said his organs were shutting down, one by one. The wound didn’t harm him. Something else did…
Happened to me once & I never forgot this rule of thumb again: unsure if a bunch of eggs are good, get a bowl filled with water, & drop them in gently.
-Sinks & lies flat: Fresh & good eggs
-Sinks & upstanding: Not fresh but good.
-Floats: Bad eggs.
Thank me later.
Saw that Okwuluora Kidney failure video in Enugu and I just thought;
1) Beans - Sniper or dangote cement.
2) Palm oil - Red dye + water.
3) Fried Plantain chips - Either transformer oil to save cost or vegetable oil + nylon to make it shiny and hard.
4) Fufu - Klin i.e detergent to ferment cassava in hours instead of days.
5) Kpomo - formalin to preserve it further.
6) Fresh fish - Industrial dye.
7) Unripe pineapple and banana - ripening in hours with chemicals.
8) Mango - ripening overnight by pouring inside smelly gutter waters.
These are but a few, meanwhile, Nigerian yam, beans are banned across parts of Europe for containing excess pesticides used by farmers without proper measurements.
We virtually consume these on daily basis, and result today is unprovoked kidney and liver damage.

- : This is a hyphen.
– : This is an en-dash.
— : This is an em-dash.
The hyphen is used to connect words, like you say. Ex: Twenty-two, ex-boyfriend.
The en-dash is used in the context of a span of time. Ex: 1996–2018, February–March.
The em-dash is used when inserting a thought. Ex: He wouldn't—couldn't—go home.
