SOMETHING IS HAPPENING TO THE FOOD WE EAT AND NIGERIA NEEDS TO START ASKING SERIOUS QUESTIONS
When was the last time you personally saw a major, sustained food-safety inspection in your local market?
I ask because Nigerians are beginning to notice changes in the food we buy, and instead of dismissing every observation as nostalgia, perhaps we should start asking questions.
Vegetables that people remember releasing deep-green pigments during washing or cooking sometimes don't behave the same way.
Some varieties of yam no longer cause the itching people traditionally associated with handling certain yams.
Potatoes don't always leave the same stains on the hands.
Some ginger sold today seems to have nowhere near the aroma or pungency people remember.
And then there is beans.
Ask older Nigerians how long beans used to take to cook, then compare it with some beans bought today. In certain cases, the difference can be remarkable.
But here is where we must separate legitimate concern from speculation.
None of these observations, by themselves, proves that chemicals are being added to our food. Crop variety, maturity, soil conditions, breeding, storage, transportation and post-harvest handling can significantly change colour, texture, aroma and cooking characteristics.
That is precisely why regulators should be investigating rather than leaving Nigerians to speculate.
NAFDAC's own mandate includes regulating food and chemicals, preventing substandard and unwholesome products from reaching consumers, and combating adulterated products. Its current strategic plan even sets a target of 800 surveillance operations annually.
So Nigerians deserve to see the evidence of that surveillance where food actually changes hands.
What pesticide residues are being detected in our vegetables?
What chemicals are traders using to preserve produce?
Are substances being used to accelerate ripening, soften food or extend shelf life?
Are beans being chemically treated anywhere along the supply chain?
How frequently are random samples of beans, yam, vegetables, ginger and other staples taken from Nigerian markets and subjected to laboratory analysis?
These are questions for NAFDAC, the Federal Ministry of Health, agricultural regulators, research institutes and state authorities.
And this isn't paranoia. Nigeria already has laws prohibiting counterfeit, adulterated and unwholesome processed foods, while NAFDAC's own food-safety framework requires controls against food-safety hazards.
We shouldn't have to wait until people start falling sick before asking what is entering our food chain.
If the food has changed because agriculture has changed, explain it.
If new varieties are responsible, tell us.
If storage practices are responsible, educate us.
And if dangerous chemicals are being used anywhere between the farm and our plates, FIND THEM.
Food safety should not be something Nigerians have to investigate with their noses, palms and cooking pots.
Incredible doc!
Nigerian surgeon temporarily removes baby from womb at 23 weeks, removes tumor, then puts her back and she was born healthy at 36 weeks.
Hats off please!
About 2 months ago, I asked a lady out. She said no but offered friendship instead.
Yesterday she texted begging for 20,000 naira. I could see how desperate she was.
I told her to come and work for it. She did not hesitate.
The moment I brought out my clothes for her to wash, her face dropped. She agreed anyway but asked me to put on the generator so she could use the washing machine.
I told her that if she was going to use the washing machine, I would deduct 3,000 naira from the 20,000 naira for fuel.
She refused and washed them by hand.
My dry cleaner would have charged me 5,000 naira for the same job. But I gave her the 20,000 naira she requested.
The moment the alert dropped, she said "Chaiii Glorious, you didn't regard me even in the least."
I just smiled and watched her leave.
At least she will think twice before billing me again.
Above all, love God.

*Eat Cassava*
Good news for those who have issues with their prostate, be it enlarged or cancerous.
Let me begin by sharing my own experiences with my prostate.
My father and his younger brother died from prostate cancer, and I've been living with an enlarged prostate since 2006.
I've tried both orthodox, herbal and food supplements with varying degrees of success, but my bladder is never empty, and I have been embarrassed a few times by incontinence.
However, the turning point appeared when in 2021 I traveled in a bus and met with some elderly people.
Before we boarded the bus, I remarked that I would be asking the driver to stop for me to pee along the way, because of my enlarged prostate.
This provided an excellent opportunity for one of the elders to give us the remedy, which he said his own father have been using.
Very simply, cook cassava over a charcoal or wood fire.
*DO NOT COVER THE SAUCEPAN . ALLOW THE STEAM TO EVAPORATE FREELY*
You can eat the cooked cassava with any stew of your choice.
I must tell you that right from our return I've had cassava cooked for me as prescribed.
I'm in a place without access to a coal pot, so I use gas to cook the cassava.
Since Friday when I got here, my breakfast has been lemon grass +ginger tea and lemon.
Lunch is boiled cassava.
Previously, I woke up after every two hours in the night to pee. Sometimes, I peed twice within the hour. And this affected my health.
But since I started the cassava therapy, I wake up only once in the night.
I don't feel the heat/pain associated with peeing.
I don't feel the urge to rush to the washroom in order to avoid spillage.
I know there are a number of elderly Brothers who have issues with the prostate, and I recommend the cassava therapy to them.
Try it, or recommend it to anyone with prostate issues.

CASSAVA & CANCER CELLS !!!
Don't stop, please read to the end !
After eating cassava for one month, my doctor checked my bladder for cancer. He was surprised because my bladder was completely clean and normal.
As long as I kept eating cassava, I feIt very fit and very healthy. Every three months I would go for a check up and my results remained clean. Since then, I only ate cassava and did not continue other cancer medications.
Mr. Pereira, a 70-year-old man, was diagnosed with prostate cancer. His wife at the hospital happened to read my article. They had no money for the cancer treatment and the injection given made Mr.Pereira very weak. His wife gave him cassava to consume. After eating cassava for a week, his situation started getting better. After a month of eating cassava every morning, his PSA test result reduced from 280-290 to 5.89 !
They visited me with the test results before and after eating cassava. Pereira no longer had any symptoms of cancer after continuing eating cassava.
There was another person who had liver cancer and had to undergo surgery. But from the MRI scan results, the cancer cells still existed. So, she started eating cassava after surgery. A month after eating cassava or ubi kayu, doctors told her there would be no need to undergo surgery anymore because the MRI scan did not show the existence of any cancer cells in her liver.
So why not try cassava for curing cancer? It is cheap, easy to get, easy to cook and very tasty.
