@RealDonaldDoo This right here is deep and so sincere. It seems like my thoughts were written by someone else. And it affirms that the wait, prayers, and everything else would be worth it.
Thank you, Donald, for this write-up
This is why Covenant University is trending.
Greatest Nigerian students are in shock as CU was named the Number 1 University in Nigeria for the second year running. According to Times.
University of Ibadan came second, as Unilag sat pretty at 4th, OAU dropped to 14th.
I bring you a simple explanation of the CBN bank recapitalisation exercise:
I’d cover what it means; what the CBN is trying to achieve; and what it means for you as a Nigerian and a bank customer.

PARACETAMOL❗
This will be a bit lengthy. So, bookmark and repost if you don't have time to read it now.
I know paracetamol is one of the most popular drugs out there. Many have used it this morning already. There's this WRONG perception that paracetamol is very safe. Well, it is not as safe as we thought.
The daily maximum dose currently is 4g which is 8 tablets. But I've seen people who use more and this is dangerous. About 20% of paracetamol used is processed in the intestinal walls while the remaining is processed in the liver. Part of the product of paracetamol in the liver is little amount of a toxic compound called n-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine or NAPQI for short. This toxic NAPQI is
quickly detoxified by a substance called glutathione.
When paracetamol is taken in overdose or even the right dose is taken too regularly, the rate of use of glutathione in the body may be less than the rate of production. If glutathione is used up and excess NAPQI isn't removed, NAPQI can then build up and damage the liver. Just few days of paracetamol overdose is enough to damage the liver.
I read that the United States FDA has even reduced the amount of paracetamol per tablet from 500mg to 325mg just to stay safe from overdosing on the drugs. Many countries, including Nigeria still use 500mg though.
Continuous use of paracetamol can also cause intestinal bleeding. It was thought that only NSAID like Ibuprofen have this effect before. However, in 2011, Professor Michael Doherty, a rheumatologist at Nottingham University, conducted a study involving nearly 900 patients aged 40 and above suffering from chronic knee pain. The study analyzed the effects of paracetamol, ibuprofen, or a combination of both over a period of 13 weeks. The results were unexpected: a significant proportion of participants, comparable to those taking ibuprofen, experienced internal bleeding, despite being on paracetamol.
There are many other studies on different negative effects of paracetamol on kidney, heart and so on. But this does not mean paracetamol is a bad drug. So, read the following recommendations.
1. Only use paracetamol when it is very NECESSARY
2. Do not take more than 2 tablets at a time. You can take another set in the next 8 hours
3. Don't use alcohol to take paracetamol. Detoxifying ethanol in your gins and beer needs glutathione. Paracetamol also need glutathione. If glutathione is used up, NAPQI is retained in the liver... problem!
4. Know that paracetamol isn't something one just takes at the slightest incidence of pain or aches. Most headaches are due to dehydration sef. All people need is to drink water and wait a while. But because they drink water while taking drugs, they feel it is the paracetamol that worked.
5. You don't need paracetamol like you think you do. The excessive trust some people have in paracetamol is making them use it at will. The placebo effect makes them think paracetamol is helping but that's not the case. Reprogram your mind. You don't need to take paracetamol every time you come from work.
6. You slept on the floor because if the heat and now you woke up with body pains? Try and take your bath and move around first. The pain will go. You don't need to take paracetamol for it.
7. When taking paracetamol with other drugs, check them out to see whether they have paracetamol too. It may help you prevent overdosing. If you have catarrh and headache for example and you take Procold and Paracetamol, you probably will slightly overdose as Procold contains paracetamol too.
8. Whenever you eat at a canteen and the meat is very soft, stylishly ask them what they used. I have learnt that some of them use paracetamol to boil meat. Wàhálà!
Finally, all I've written here is general. Individuals may have different scenarios and conditions. So, I know what I wrote here isn't all encompassing. Please share this article, it could prevent someone from damaging their liver.

Years ago,I made it a habit to research the stories behind hymns before singing them - it interestingly opened my emotions to a different light & turned the lyrics of the hymn into life
There's one I'll never forget: the story of the writer "It is well with my soul"
I'll share:
I ask myself, what do people say about me?
What would people say about me?
What they say out loud, are they true inward?
What would people say about you? What do you mean to others?
I attended a 70th surprise birthday party thrown by his children (my previous post).
It was lovely and intimate as it was family and close friends.
When people were talking about the man, they had great things to say.
He is a family man. Family comes first for him. He goes out of his way for his family, friends, children's friends and loved ones. He loved others and expressed it.
@SouloSkillz We are about to make that same mistake with the LP guy. I understand he doesn't have a political career but I am not seeing a work career to allow me use for his campaign. I campaigned for PO based on his track record. Not because the crowd was campaigning for him.
@SouloSkillz Nah those have different track records. When we voted in Fashola, we all saw what he had to offer. I listened to his campaign and his debate. He had done other things with his life before he came into politics. Then we voted in others because of they were also coming from APC.
THE WAIT (this movie is not for everyone and it’s totally okay.
