The rampant theft and illegal refining of crude oil pose grave threats to Nigeria's environment, economy, and future prosperity. It's imperative that we unite to tackle this scourge head-on, safeguarding our natural resources for the benefit of all Nigerians and securing a brighter, more sustainable future. Kudos to the Nigerian Navy. 7 Likes 1 Share |

FAKE, MISLEADING AND FALSE INFORMATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND INTERNET......* My pieces of advice 1. When you see a sensational post that borders on the following issues A) Generating Fear in people about a product health implications For example the fake plastic rice story or Chinese are selling human parts. B) Medical information on the benefit or harm of a particular item be it natural or manufactured. C) Political statements that appear smart by a prominent political icon or public figure. Examples like Mugabe, Trump, Obama, Buhari, Soyinka etc D) If it is too good to be true or too bad to be true. Most likely not true. E) If it has been circulating for a long time and the story is the same, for example ' Pray for 20 Christians in Afghanistan who are to be executed. Denmark is planning to burn Quran next Saturday. Do not drink Pepsi in the next few weeks. It is probably not true but they are usually outdated news. Most often the Author refuses to put the specific date, month or year to make it appear as if it is current or futuristic. F) Posts that malign or denigrate individuals or tribe, religions, nations or communities. For instance Donald Trump claims Nigerians are criminals and their leaders thieves hence they should be deported or prevented from coming to the USA. G) Photo shopped pictures of political or public icons making some political or religious statements. e.g Mrs Obama and bring back our girls or Trump and Bring Back God to the White House. H) Posts from partisan political or tribal blogs or websites. I) Be suspicious when the message ask you to share the information to ALL your contacts NOW. They are probably afraid of giving you time to reflect on the information and act rationally. J) Beware when a statement makes a magical claim like 'send this message to ten contacts and your phone battery would be fully charged' If this were so, we would all have dumped our charger. K) Discard messages that ask you to share a particular piece of information or pictures to so many number of people to raise money for a cause or a sick person. Someone somewhere is probably taking you for a ride because nobody is counting the number of times a message is circulated. L) Trash messages which seek to blackmail you emotionally. Messages like 'only a bad person would not share this broadcast ' 'I have saved your life by sharing this message. Save other lives by sharing too' WHAT TO DO WITH SUCH POSTS 1. Don't be in a hurry to circulate such information to avoid being a busy body or peddlers of lies. Remember the 4 way test. 2. Inbox the Author of the post and ask for credible evidence, links and facts. 3. Where the post is a medical issue, consult a Professional Physician or relevant authority 4. Type the title of the post in search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, Bing etc and place hoax or spam at the back. For example "Donald Trump plan to arrest Buhari hoax" 5. Go to Snopes.com which is a reliable website that busts myths, scams and hoaxes. Type the particular topic in their search box. It is better to be careful than to strive to be the first person to disseminate information that may not be true, thereby damaging your reputation.

I read a post here yesterday about a US blogger writing how Nigeria and Africa as a whole is a crime destination and why he hates us. I also read some hate and racist filled comments by the white saints and some Nigerians too. This forced me to go online to check if this is true. I am not trying to justify crimes and corrupt practices by Nigerians and Africans but I'm trying to refute what I felt is a racism and hate filled post. A smart and savvy expat or world traveler should do their homework and learn about the countries they travel to. Often, this can mean learning a place’s history, culture and scenic beauty.

Skin cancer. Lung cancer. Asthma. Lead poisoning. Mercury poisoning. Malaria. Ebola. Zika. The list of health conditions that can be linked to environmental pollution and degradation is long and growing. Speaking at the packed room of international delegates on Wednesday morning, UN Environment Programme Executive Director Achim Steiner stressed that the links between health and environment are fundamental, and that international action can have a profound impact. "The spread of Zika, just as with Ebola, has sent a strong signal to the international community that there is a need for increased attention to the linkages between environment and health," he said. "There is a growing awareness that humans, through their intervention in the environment, play a vital role in exacerbating or mitigating health risks." Mr. Steiner was addressing UNEP's Committee of Permanent Representatives (CPR), a group of 300 delegates representing over 140 countries and major groups. The CPR is meeting at UNEP's Nairobi headquarters this week to prepare for the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA), the world's highest-level decision-making body on the environment, which will convene at the end of May. In his remarks, Steiner cited data from the World Health Organization (WHO), which has found that 23 per cent of all premature deaths around the world can be attributed to environmental factors. Among children, that figure rises to 36 per cent. "Every year, nearly 7 million people die because they are exposed to indoor and outdoor air pollution, from power generation, cookstoves, transportation, industrial furnaces, wildfires, or other causes," Steiner said. "We are eating into an ecological infrastructure that not only sustains us, but protects us. The fallout from the footprint of human activity in the 21st century seems to grow every year." Mr. Steiner also pointed out that more than 2 billion people live in water-stressed areas, 1,000 children die every day from water-borne diseases, and 42 million life years are lost every year due to natural disasters. There is strong evidence that international action to protect the environment can have strong, positive impacts on human health. Thanks to the Montreal Protocol, which took effect in 1989, nearly 100 substances that deplete the ozone layer have been removed from circulation. Because of that progress, some 2 million cases of skin cancer will be prevented before 2030. And the removal of lead from fuel is already preventing over 1 million premature deaths each year. UNEP - in partnership with the World Health Organization, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions and the Montreal Protocol - is preparing a report entitled Healthy Environment, Healthy People that will explore how the environment impacts human health. The report will be launched at UNEA, where it will be the subject of a discussion among ministers on the implementation of the environmental dimension of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. The Agenda and its 17 goals were adopted in September by 193 Member States, and lay out a pathway for sustainable development. The goals integrate the social, economic and environmental concerns of development. A healthy environment presents opportunities for a healthier society, and it brings economic benefits as well. The phase out of ozone-depleting CFCs should result in a cumulative $1.8 trillion in global health benefits by 2060. Eliminating lead in gasoline on a global scale will boost global GDP by an estimated 4 per cent. And the return on investment in water and sanitation services is between $5 and $28 per dollar invested. Source: http://unep.org/newscentre/Default.aspx?DocumentID=27058&ArticleID=36046&l=en |

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, has given reasons he opposes the devaluation of the Naira, emphasising that his country cannot compete favourably with other producing nations. President Buhari spoke on Saturday while contributing to a Presidential Panel Roundtable on Investment and Growth Opportunities at the opening session of the ‘Africa 2016: Business for Africa, Egypt and the World’ at Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. “Nigeria cannot compete with developed countries which produce to compete among themselves and could afford to devalue their local currencies. “Developed countries are competing among themselves and when they devalue, they compete better and manufacture and export more. “But we are not competing and exporting, but importing everything including toothpicks. So, why should we devalue our currency?” the President asked. Advertisement “We want to be more productive and self-sufficient in food and other basic things such as clothing. For our government, we like to encourage local production and efficiency”. The President stated that those who had developed taste for foreign luxury goods should continue to pay for them rather than pressuring government to devalue the Naira. SEE ALSO: Buhari regrets dwindling oil production for local use He expressed optimism that Nigeria would get out of its current economic downturn, pointing out that another major problem militating against economic revival was the huge resources deployed towards tackling insurgency and international terrorism. Present at the talks were Egyptian President, Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, presidents of Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Sudan and the Prime Minister of Ethiopia. The President of the African Development Bank, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, also addressed the participants.

Many people use a vast array of chemical-laden household cleaners and products around the home on a daily basis. What they may not be aware of is the fact that many of these chemicals can be damaging to their health when inhaled. Apart from the inhalation aspect, skin irritations often occur when coming into contact with many chemical cleaners. Many disinfectants contain phenol ( aka carbolic acid ) or cresol. These can attack the central nervous system, liver, kidneys, spleen, and pancreas. How can adding a load of chemicals to your home environment be good for your health and cleanliness. They may kill off the germs, sure, but human beings are gradually going to kill themselves off too, if they continue in this way. Many people aim to keep their homes a germ-free environment, but if our homes are kept so germ-free that our immune systems no longer have to work as hard, we run the risk of weakening our immune systems. Another chemical-laden ( and one of the most dangerously toxic of all ) household product is oven cleaner. I have never personally used the stuff. Many oven cleaners release fumes which may affect the respiratory system, and contain ammonia and lye, which eat the skin. It is preferable to use baking soda and water, sprinkled inside the oven and left overnight. In the morning a good scrub finishes it off a treat. It does a wonderful job. Also you don’t get any chemical residue odour the next time you use the oven. Many artificial air fresheners release nerve-deadening agents, which can interfere with your sense of smell. Natural aromatherapy oils would be a much safer bet. In a time when respiratory illnesses such as asthma are at an all-time high, we should be looking to a more natural and gentle way of keeping our homes clean. Using all-natural, non-toxic cleaning products around the home is the best defence against dirt and grime, while keeping our bodies healthy, being kind to the environment, and not tested on animals. Everyone’s a winner. Many companies claim their products are ‘natural’ but it’s best to check the labels, as they may only contain a few natural ingredients while still being laden with chemicals. If you live in Lagos , or some other southwestern states, you would have come across some people who sells different types of airfreshner along the road sides. This airfreshners might be cheap but the health implications is grave. Buying from a well-known ethical, cruelty-free company is the best way to go.Then, not only should their products be natural, safe and non-toxic, they should also be environmentally-friendly and not tested on animals.
