5 Vital Tips For This Rainy Season

As the rainy kicks off in most parts of Nigeria,
We brings you 5 vital health tips to help you stay healthy this season


1 . Wash your hands ;
This is season is where bacteria and viruses breed the most. As such, you can come into contact with them just by crossing the road or holding on to an infected bus or pedestrian bridge railing . So , wash your hands as frequently as you can with soap and warm water.


2 . Keep your hands off your face ;
The flu virus commonly enters our body through the eyes, nose and mouth and a lot of us just subconsciously enjoy rubbing our eyes or wiping our foreheads but if you must , please use a clean napkin or handkerchief instead .

3 . Protect yourself from dirty water ;
An average Nigerian street or road in a typical rainy season experiences c logged gutters and dirty puddles and these are the easiest sources of malaria causing mosquitoes andwater - borne diseases like diarrhea , influenza , cholera and fungal skin infections . Therefore , cover up to protect yourself from these diseases . Get a jacket and a good pair of rain boots . Better to be safe than sorry .


4 . Stay off street food ;
We all love our roadside akara , fries and suya but during the rainy season , food cooked and sold in the open air are likely to come in contact with airborne and waterborne diseases and bacteria . Better to eat fresh , home -cooked meals.



5 . Equip yourself with Vitamin C –
Up your Vitamin C intake either in natural form or as food supplement . This will help you drive away the cold virus faster , as a healthy supply of this vitamin will activate your antibodies and reduce the severity of cold .

FG threatens to revoke licences of banks violating its ‘no sack’ order

Following the news of the retrenchment of 200 staff of Skye bank today, the federal government has released a statement threatening to sanction banks and telecommunication companies, that fail to comply with its order to suspend retrenchment. FG on June 4th, prevailed on Banks and Insurance companies to halt retrenchment exercises for now due to the hard economic realities.
The Minister of labour and employment, Chris Ngige gave the warning at the 105th session of the International Labour Congress (ILC) in Geneva, Switzerland today June 7th.
“The federal government gave the licences to the banks to operate and if its directives are not adhered to the licences will be withdrawn if the need arises. We will go a step further if they continue. We know what to do. They need to comply. They need to come to the negotiation table. We halted the spate of sack in the oil industry and we succeeded. Even if you are going to lay off, there is a way to declare redundancy, there is a process. Section 20 of the labour act says it. You must call the unions and discuss with them. You don’t just treat them as slaves in their own country and you want us to keep quiet. We want them to maintain the status quo. As far as I am the minister of labour, I will protect the interest of workers; same to the telecommunication companies, they are also talking about compiling lists without discussing with anybody.”

President of the association, Muhammad Askira, announced this today June 7th.

If by midnight on Sunday, June 19, our demands are not met, all the members of the association, including those exempted, would join the indefinite nationwide strike. Due to the failure of the government to address the demands of NARD, it has declared a total and indefinite strike. NARD has to take this painful decision in order to highlight the plight of our hardworking members who have had to endure a long period of deprivation and disenfranchisement.”he said

MASSOB, BIM appeal to UN to divide Nigeria

Two pro-Biafra groups have appealed to the United Nations and other world leaders to divide Nigeria into six geo-political zones to solve the current crisis.


Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) stated that giving the six geo-political zones in Nigeria self rule would be the only answer to the many problems in the country.

MASSOB alongside with Biafra Independence Movement (BIM) called on the UN and other super powers to regard the lives of people that are killed on a daily basis in Nigeria arising from the insurgency in the north east and Fulani herdsmen said to be reportedly affiliated to ISIS and Boko Haram.


Chris Mocha, the spokesman, said the proposed nations comprise South East, (Biafra), South South (Niger Delta), North East, North West, South West, (Oduduwa) and North- Central.


He underlined that no amount of preaching on nationalism can change Nigeria as it is today.


Mocha added that when the proposed zones are given independence, assets of the citizens of the different countries will be protected by international laws, just as mutual agreements will guide the future relationship of the new republics.


Meanwhile, the group insisted that several of their supporters were killed last week during the Biafra anniversary at Nkpor and Onitsha.


It said: “ While all the members of BIM/ MASSOB in Anambra central senatorial district including Nkpor town in Idemili North Local Government Area celebrated at Ifite Dunu, our counterparts in Anambra North including Onitsha converged at the zonal secretariat, project site at Nteje in Oyi council area of Anambra state.”

The Biafra remembrance day celebration in honour of the Biafra fallen heroes who died during the Biafra/ Nigeria civil war of 1967 to 1970 and those who died during a peaceful protest and evangelism in Anambra, Aba Abia, Rivers and Delta states, turned bloody on May 30 in Onitsha, as the military, police, members of Indigenous People of Biafra clashed, killing over 30 people and injuring several others.

As Ramadan begins Buhari, Saraki, Dogara sue for peace, security

As Nigerian Muslims join their counterparts from across the world in commencing the fasting in the Holy month of Ramadan, President Muhammadu Buhari has advised Muslims to use the period as a great opportunity to seek forgiveness and get closer to Allah through worship and good deeds during this period.
Also, President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki has urged Muslim faithful to use the period of this year’s Ramadan to pray for peace, security and God’s intervention in tackling the myriad socio-economic challenges confronting the n
On his part, House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, has appealed to Muslim faithfuls to use the f Ramadan to offer special intercessory prayers for peace and stability of the country and leaders at all levels.
In his message to mark the beginning of the 29 or 30 days fasting period, the president, speaking through his Special Media Assistant, Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, last night, said the month of Ramadan is a time of spiritual reawakening which demands not only abstention from food and drinks, but also all wrongdoing in their lives.
The president explained that he is always disturbed why people seek to make brisk profits by hiking food prices as soon as the month of Ramadan starts.
He assured that the government was working towards bringing relief to their lives through palliative measures and faithful implementation of the 2016 national budget.
In a statement to mark the commencement of this year’s Ramadan fasting season signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki thanked God for the grace to participate in another holy obligation as enjoined by the Holy Quran.
He said: “We have entered into another season of rededication to the worship of God and service to humanity. This is a major commandment to mankind and a season of sacrifice and forgiveness. I enjoin all Muslim faithful to rededicate themselves to the true ideals of Islam as a religion of peace.”
Dogara, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Turaki Hassan in Abuja on Sunday, said that the country is in dire need of special prayers in view of the present state of the economy and the security situation in the nation.
He said history has shown that no challenge is difficult for humanity to overcome once the people resolve to work together towards implementing solutions, and pray for God’s guidance and direction.
According to him, many societies and nations have passed through even more difficulties than ours, but they were able to surmount them. “Ours is no exception, and we too shall overcome,” he admonished

Face Care Tips: 6 Tips to Protect Your Face From Sun Damage

The skin on your face is most susceptible to sun damage. In fact, one study on the distribution of skin cancer found that the highest rate of skin cancer was on the face. Furthermore, exposure to UV radiation accounts for 80% of visible signs of skin aging according to a study carried out on 298 Caucasian women. This is why it is so important to protect the delicate skin on your face from the sun. To decrease your chances of skin cancer and premature aging, follow these seven tips:

1. Sunscreen
To decrease your chances of UV damage, it is important to wear sunscreen on a daily basis. There has been a recent scare regarding the chemical composition of sunscreens but realistically speaking, UV radiation is much more dangerous than any ingredient found in sunscreens. Darrell Rigel, M.D., clinical professor of dermatology at New York University claims that sunscreens lower one’s risk of skin cancer and that the benefits of wearing sunscreen outweigh any possible risks. In short, any sunscreen is safe sunscreen.

2. Lip balm
Most of us tend to forget that we also need to protect our lips from UV rays. The skin on our lips is very thin and susceptible to sun damage. The lips, along with the surrounding eye area show the first signs of aging. There are plenty of lip balms on the market that offer UV protection. Next time you plan to spend a weekend outdoors, make sure to carry a lip balm with SPF with you.

3. Watch for UV radiation
There are times of the year and day when UV radiation is at its peak. The commonly held belief is to avoid the sun between 10 am and 4 pm. However, one recent study found that for optimal synthesis of vitamin D and the least danger of melanoma was to spend time in the sun between 10 am and 1 pm. This, of course, contradicts our previously held beliefs about sun exposure. For this reason, Darrell Rigel, M.D recommends using your common sense when it comes to sun exposure. The winter months are when UV radiation is at its lowest, and if the day is cloudy and rainy, you’d naturally assume that the Sun’s rays are not as strong.

4. Don’t forget the ears, head, neck, and feet.
These happen to be the locations on our body commonly neglected when it comes to sun protection. A study on the distribution of melanoma found that men are at greater risk of developing melanoma in these areas because these areas are more often exposed to the sun in males than in females. If you are male, make sure to wear a hat and put sunscreen on your ears and the back of the neck. Also, don’t neglect your feet when applying sunscreen.

5. Sunglasses
Previously rare, ocular cancer has been rising at an alarming rate in recent years according to skincancer.org. Besides damaging your eyes and vision, the sun can also damage the delicate skin around your eyes which can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and bags under the eyes. The skin around your eyes is the first to show the signs of aging because it is much thinner than the surrounding skin. You don’t have to worry about the price of sunglasses because even the inexpensive ones will offer you enough protection as observed in one study of 32 pairs of inexpensive sunglasses.

6. Reapply sunscreen
You shouldn’t rely solely on sunscreen to avoid sun damage. Sunscreens can significantly decrease the chances of sun damage, but they are imperfect. Sunscreens break down after some time or as in the case of physical sunblocks; they clump on the skin. For these reasons, sunscreens should be reapplied at least every 2 hours if you plan to spend the day in the sun.
The skin on your face is where the first signs of aging show. It is also the most common are where skin cancer occurs. While clothing offers a lot of protection to the skin on your body, you need to take other measures to protect your face from sun damage.
