Let me try and explain why cancers happen and why anyone reading this Tweet can have Cancer BUT you can lower your risk.
Let's start with What happens in the normal body.
Everyday you are alive, your cells are dividing and performing functions. every part of your body is made of cells with different roles.
The body has a clock , every cell has a born date and has a destruction date. there are 2 ways the body destroy cells.
One way is When it is time, the body tells cells...IT IS TIME. You need to die. There are some soldiers that go and destroy these cells that are worn out, some cells die themselves because it is time. A process called APOPTOSIS.
The body just like every machine can make mistakes, while dividing some cells might have abnormal parts or missing parts, BUT It has a Checkpoint. Any cells that are abnormal don't pass this gate. right there... BOOOM. The body destroys them. You don't want abnormal cells DIVIDING
BUT CANCER
Same cells, but when it is time to die, they don't die, these cells become like Methuselah, omnipotent. they are living forever.
Some funny things about them, if normal cells are dividing at a rate of 1, cancer cells are diving at a rate of 1 million. if 1 cells can divide to 10, cancer cells can divide to 1 billion.
For every cell there is a gate, so you don't enter into another cell.
Cancer cells are like those boys driving Lexus ES 350 2009, they crash into everyone. something called METASTASIS
Cancer cells get so powerful, they dodge the soldiers, the body is trying to kill them. they are too powerful, too much, traveling at a speed of light.
BUT WHY DO CANCER CELLS happen?
from everything explained you will see anything that can damage cells can increase these cells from behaving abnormal
- From problem of the body itself, radiation, family history, some substances can directly cause the cells to cancer eg Asbestos used in Roof- Lung Cancer, smoking- lung and more, alcohol- liver cancer etc
we also know there are some viruses, bacteria etc that can make cells turn to cancer eg
HIV- Many cancers
H pylori- Cancer of the stomach
HPV- Cancer of the cervix, penis, oesophagus, throat and more....
so in summary you can see why anyone can have cancer, which are abnormal cells dividing abnormally and can travel distance anywhere....
But how do I reduce my risk of cANCER?
I will be dropping part 2
Please do share , repost, I will be glad to take questions.
Thanks
If you're looking for land to do arable farming and you see a lot of this worm cast on the land you're planning to use.
Congratulations to you.
This shows the land is rich, fertile & has supporting biotic factors that will help your harvest.
Nigeria has passed 50,000 cholera cases this year. 338 people have died. This year alone
Emeka, Nkechi, do this one today. Not when somebody is sick. Today.
Buy ORS sachets. Put them in your first aid box, or wherever it is you keep your medicines
Cholera can kill in hours. imagine it at two in the morning, the person is already weak, every shop is locked, and you are the one flying up and down looking for who is open. For wetin?
When the watery stool starts, you mix one sachet in one litre of clean water and you start drinking on THE WAY TO THE CLINIC, not when you reach there.
And let me add this one, because people don't know: it is not cholera alone. Any serious running stomach, same sachet. Plain water will not be enough.
I created an AI Smart Glass to help blind people walk without a cane or a guide 👓
But this is not like the smart glasses people are used to seeing
Because this Glass combines AI, sensors, and GPS to help the user detect things in front of them, avoid obstacles, and know their location
But the most amazing thing is if the user gets lost, the GPS tracking system can help locate where they are from anywhere, and then send the location to the phone of the person taking care of them via WhatsApp or Email 📲
And now I am further developing it to a new level of AI + Voice, so it can speak with the user and also help them understand their surroundings
I have put the video showing how it works completely in the comment. 🎥
SHARE this project 🤝🔥
Let the world see what a young Nigerian can build
These are not even the craziest facts about African lungfish.
It can slow its body down and can live without food or water for up to 4 years inside a mud pocket it makes whenever water dries. While asleep, it stops urinating and stores wastes safely until the rain returns.
Hippos don't swim. They walk. Every time you see a hippo "swimming," it's actually walking on the river bed. That's why they don't go into the deeper part of the water. You'll always see them close to the bank.
If it's very important for them to go into the deeper part, they will only go to distances where they can make it back to the shallow part within 5 minutes. That's because they can hold their breath underwater for 5 to 6 minutes.
Sha, don’t die! Don’t give up! 🙏🏿
Guard your heart. Protect your peace. Surround yourself with people who encourage you, believe in you, and remind you that your story is not over.
The Lord who breathed life into my X account after almost eight months of little or no growth has not forgotten you.
Sometimes, all it takes is one moment for everything to change.
Keep showing up. Keep believing. Your season will come. ❤️🙏🏿

Naija Kuku keeme!!!
In this life, sha, don’t let anybody rush you.
At 33, with a first-class degree, I was still sleeping on my parents’ couch in Ebute Metta, trying to figure life out.
I didn’t get my dream job until I was 36. I got married at 35 and started married life in a room and parlour tiny rooms in Mushin.
I started a business at 38 and failed woefully.
I tried again in my 40s. Failed again.
At 46, I opened an art gallery at Adeniran Ogunsanya, Lagos. It failed too.
At 47, I returned to the yoghurt business. Failed again.
At 48, we started again.
Then, at almost 50, I was compulsorily retired from my job.
Instead of seeing it as the end, I went fully into the yoghurt business.
I relocated to the UK at almost 52.
By 54, we had recorded over ₦2 billion in sales.
So please, be inspired by other people’s success, but never allow their success to put you under pressure.
Some people bloom at 25.
Some at 35.
Some at 50.
Some even later.
Your timeline is different.
Keep learning.
Keep trying.
Keep failing forward.
Keep moving.
You are not late. You are still writing your story.
Good evening.😊
