Health / Ways To Prevent Breast Cancer by Mrsulay: 12:39pm On Jul 20, 2019 |
1. Keep Weight in Check It’s easy to tune out because it gets said so often, but maintaining a healthy weight is an important goal for everyone. Being overweight can increase the risk of many different cancers, including breast cancer, especially after menopause. 2. Be Physically Active Exercise is as close to a silver bullet for good health as there is, and women who are physically active for at least 30 minutes a day have a lower risk of breast cancer. Regular exercise is also one of the best ways to help keep weight in check. 3. Eat Your Fruits & Vegetables – and Avoid Too Much Alcohol A healthy diet can help lower the risk of breast cancer. Try to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and keep alcohol at moderate levels or lower (a drink a day or under). While moderate drinking can be good for the heart in older adults, even low levels of intake can increase the risk of breast cancer. If you don’t drink, don’t feel you need to start. If you drink moderately, there’s likely no reason to stop. But, if you drink more, you should cut down or quit. 4. Don’t Smoke Smokers and non-smokers alike know how unhealthy smoking is. On top of lowering quality of life and increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and at least 15 cancers – including breast cancer – it also causes smelly breath, bad teeth, and wrinkles. Now that’s motivation to stay smoke-free or work to get smoke-free. 5. Breastfeed, If Possible Breastfeeding for a https://your-notion..com/2019/07/ways-to-prevent-breast-cancer.html |

Nairaland / General / Stop Hanging On Moving Vehicles, Frsc Tells Political Campaigners by Mrsulay: 11:59pm On Jan 16, 2019 |
The Federal Road Safety Corps, Nasarawa State command, has called on politicians to stop their supporters from hanging on moving vehicles to minimise the risk of road accidents. The Sector Commander, Faustina Alegbe, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lafia, on Wednesday that FRSC was worried over the menace, which could also endanger other road users. Alegbe said the FRSC was compelled to file an official complaint to the state assembly to address the issue. She said so many lives were being jeopardised by politicians and their supporters who were hanging on moving vehicles and going about for political campaigns. Alegbe said the FRSC was concerned about the development and urged all political campaigners to make their safety a priority observing road safety and traffic rules. She said the corps had also in the letter expressed its displeasure with the way politicians were defacing road signs with posters. The commander said lack of a clear view of road signs might confuse the driver and could lead to road traffic crashes.

Prof. Titus Ibekwe, Consultant Surgeon, Ear,
Nose and Throat at the University of Abuja
Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, has warned that
cell phone addiction causes noise induced
hearing loss.
Ibekwe gave the warning in an interview with the
News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Abuja.
Similarly, he warned that the spill of noise from
cell phones could aggravate cardiovascular
diseases, hypertension and stroke as well as
cancer in later years.
He noted that this adverse effect was common
especially among young persons.
Ibekwe, who is also the National Secretary of
Otorhinolaryngological Society of Nigeria, noted
that often time youths use the gadget to play
music using ear piece for a very prolong time.
Otorhinolaryngology is a surgical subspecialty
within medicine that deals with conditions of the
ear, nose and throat, and related structures of
the head and neck.
According to him, prolong use of ear piece to
listen to music or any other sound from the
phone completely obstruct the ear canal and do
not allow escape of any of those sounds.
NAN reports that ear canal is a tube running
from the outer ear to the middle ear.

Nairaland / General / Nigeria To Experience Longest Total Lunar Eclipse On Friday – Scientist by Mrsulay: 8:09pm On Jul 26, 2018 |
Nigeria will on Friday night experience a
spectacular total lunar eclipse, which will last for
one hour, Prof. Augustine Ubachukwu, has said.
Ubachukwu, the leader of Astronomy and
Astrophysics Research Group of the University of
Nigeria, Nsukka, disclosed this on Thursday in
an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in
Abuja.
He said: “Nigeria is set to experience a very
spectacular total lunar eclipse on Friday, July 27,
weather permitting.
“It will be visible from 9:30.p.m. and last till 11:
220 p.m.
“This total lunar eclipse will be primarily visible
from the world’s Eastern Hemisphere, which
are Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and New
Zealand.
“Part of South America will be able to watch the
final stages of the eclipse just after sunset on
July 27.
“New Zealand will catch the beginning stages of
the eclipse before sunrise on July 28.
“It will be the century’s longest total lunar eclipse
with a whopping one hour and 43 minutes in
totality.
“It starts with a partial eclipse at 7:24 p.m. The
total eclipse begins at 8.30 p.m., and ends at
10.13 p.m. The peak of the eclipse will occur at
9.22 p.m. The partial eclipse ends at 11.19
p.m.’’
Ubachukwu observed that a lunar eclipse could
occur only on the night of a full moon.
The scientist said during a total lunar eclipse, the
earth completely blocks direct sunlight from
reaching the moon, while the only light reflected
from the lunar surface would be refracted by
earth’s atmosphere.
According to him, unlike solar eclipses, lunar
eclipses are safe to view without any eye
protection or special precautions as they
appear dimmer than the full moon.
The professor, however, said that the next total
lunar eclipse that would be visible in Nigeria
would occur on January 21, 2019.
Prof. Rabiu Babatunde, the Director, Centre for
Atmospheric Research in Kogi told NAN that
people should not be perturbed at the
occurrence.

Sports / I Don't Know Why I Didn't Award Penalty To Nigeria" – Referee Tells Mikel by Mrsulay: 8:08pm On Jun 27, 2018 |
Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakin said he did not know why he did not award the penalty for the handball of Argentine defender, Marcus Rojo, for Nigeria on Tuesday evening, according to Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi. Mikel said the referee admitted that the ball touched the hand of Marcos Rojo in the 82nd minute of Tuesday’s game but he put up a defense in not awarding the crucial spot-kick. The penalty, if awarded and scored at a time the match was 1-1, could have wrapped up a second round ticket for the Eagles. Speaking at the post-match briefing in St Petersburg, Mikel said: “I asked the referee if he thought the ball struck Rojo’s hand and he said ‘yes;.

Nairaland / General / 2019: Etsu Nupe Warns Politicians To Stop Using His Pictures To Campaig by Mrsulay: 2:59pm On Jun 19, 2018 |
Chairman, of Niger State council of traditional
rulers and the Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya
Abubakar, has warned politicians in the state to
stop using his pictures in their posters with the
aim of winning the sympathy of the electorates
for 2019 general elections.
The royal father also frowned at the attitude of
some politicians from his domain trying to
involve him in their politics and campaign
towards the 2019 general elections.
The monarch spoke at his Wadata Palace, in
Bida, on Saturday, when he received a
delegation of the ruling houses and some
traditional title holders in the emirate who paid
him the traditional sallah homage.
The monarch pointed out that it was
embarrassing to his office for politicians in his
emirate and throughout the state to resort to
printing posters and mounting billboards with
their pictures placed side by side with his.
According to him, “I am not a politician I have
not endorsed anybody for any political position,
and I don’t intend to endorse anyone” Alhaji
Yahaya Abubakar declared.
The traditional ruler however advised politicians
to play the game according to the rules, saying
that “they should also eschew bitterness and
character assassination during their
campaigns”.
He, therefore, announced his plan to set up a
rehabilitation centre in Bida to cater for the
physically challenged in the society and
therefore solicited for the support and
contribution of his subjects for the smooth take
off of the centre.
In the same vein, the traditional ruler urged
public spirited individuals in and outside the
emirate to donate generously to the Bida
Education foundation fund which he said was
to complement government efforts in the
funding of education in the Emirate.
According to him ” government alone cannot
fund education, they need our support”.
He then urged his subjects to enrol their
children in schools saying “Education is the

Nairaland / General / FRSC Denies Recruitment Portal Has Crashed by Mrsulay: 11:49am On May 30, 2018 |
The Federal Road Safety Corps has denied that
its recruitment portal has crashed.
The Corps opened the portal on Monday in a
nationwide recruitment exercise.
However, on Tuesday, news started making the
rounds that the portal had crashed.
But the spokesman of the Corps, Commander
Bisi Kazeem, in a statement on Tuesday denied
the crash of the portal.
Kazeem said: “Our attention has been drawn to
the rumour going round that the Corps
recruitment site crashed few hours after it went
live.
“We are much disturbed that Daily Post, an
online media, will go to the press because of few
complaints from people that could not get
through either as a result of congestion or
network.
“We even learnt that contrary to instructions,
some applicants are using hand held phones
instead of computer.
“Daily Post left out the experience of thousands
of applicants that are getting through second per
second which we are monitoring at our situation
room created mainly for recruitment purposes.
“Contrary to the speculations, we are pleased to
inform you that the site has been stable with
thousand applicants already acknowledged on
the database.
“Furthermore, there is need to state categorically
that there is a dedicated site for the recruitment
( www.recruitment.frsc.gov.ng ) which is totally
different from the frsc official website
( frsc.gov.ng ) which so many applicants are
using.
“For the avoidance of doubts, we have received
more than 10,000 successful applications from
applicants within one day and half window,
specifically about 6000 today from our back
end.

Politics / Okonjo-iweala: Why I Leaked N17b Budget ‘padding’ by Mrsulay: 10:10am On May 28, 2018 |
Former Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy during the regime of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on Sunday explained the reason she decided to leak N17 billion budget “padding” by the National Assembly in 2015, adding that it was the “price to pay” for the passage of the budget and not bribe as reported by the media. Okonjo-Iweala said this on Sunday on her Twitter handle. She said she decided to expose the what transpired behind closed door in order for the country to move forward. The former Minister in her book, titled: “Fighting Corruption is Dangerous: The Story Behind the Headlines,” had said: “By the time we presented budget on December 16, 2014, the oil prices has further fallen down to $58 per barrel. We were prepared and knew we had to trigger the additional expenditure and revenue measure in 2015 to make the budget work. This would be tough, given that we had entered election year. “Indeed, legislators initially refused to accept pay cuts to their regular N150 billion budget, despite dwindling revenues. But, eventually agreed to 13 percent cut against backdrop of Ministers accepting voluntary 50 percent to their basic salaries. “In a tough session with the National Assembly ad-hoc committee on budget (made up chairs of Finance committee and Appropriation Committee of both chambers and other leaders of National Assembly), an additional N20 billion was reintroduced as election expenses for the National Assembly members. “We insisted that the amount should be dropped because it nullified the 13 percent cut to their statutory budget, but managed N20 billion figure by only N3 billion to N17. This become the price to have 2015 budget passed.” However, Okonjo-Iweala in response to the media report on Sunday on her Twitter handle said mischief makers are trying to distort the content of her book. She also faulted the reaction of the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, to her position on the issue. She tweeted: “It has come to my attention that mischief makers are again trying to distort what is written in my book, ‘Fighting Corruption is Dangerous: the Story Behind the Headlines’, for their own political purposes. “One more time, It is important that people read the book for themselves. In the case of the N17 billion, the book does not talk of bribe. It indicates that lawmakers increased the budget by N17 billion and we had to accept that to move on; http://your-notion..co.ke/2018/05/okonjo-iweala-why-i-leaked-n17b-budget.html?m=1 |
Nairaland / General / Things That Validate And Invalidate Fasting by Mrsulay: 9:31pm On May 16, 2018 |
The Arabic word for fasting is
called "sawm" in the Quran. The
word sawm literally means "to
abstain". Chapter Maryam of the
Quran says that Mary the mother
of Jesus said "I have vowed a
"sawm" (fast) for the sake of the
Merciful, so today I shall not speak
to anyone." [Quran 19:26 ].
According to Shariyah , the word
sawm means to abstain from all
those things that are forbidden
during fasting from the break of
dawn to the sunset, and to do this
with the intention of fasting.
Purpose of Fasting
In chapter 2 verse 183 the Quran
says, "O you who believe, fasting is
prescribed for you as it was
prescribed for those who were
before you, in order that you may
learn taqwa (piety)".
Things That Invalidate the Fast
You must avoid doing anything
that may render your fast invalid.
Things that invalidate the fast and
require qadaa' (making up for these
days) are the following:
1 - Eating, drinking or smoking
deliberately, including taking any
non-nourishing items by mouth or
nose.
2 - Deliberately causing yourself to
vomit.
3 - The beginning of menstrual or
post-childbirth bleeding even in the
last moment before sunset.
4 - Sexual intercourse or other
sexual contact (or masturbation)
that results in ejaculation (in men)
or vaginal secretions (orgasm) in
women.
5 - Eating, drinking, smoking or
having sexual intercourse after Fajr
(dawn) on the mistaken
assumption that it is not Fajr time
yet. Similarly, engaging in these
acts before Maghrib (sunset) on
the mistaken assumption that it is
already Maghrib time.
Sexual intercourse during fasting is
forbidden. Those who engage in it
must make both qadaa' (make up
the fasts) and kaffarah (expiation
by fasting for 60 days after
Ramadan or by feeding 60 poor
people for each day of fast broken
in this way). According to Imam
Abu Hanifah, eating and/or
drinking deliberately during fast
also entail the same qadaa' and
kaffarah.
Things That Do Not Invalidate Fasting
Using a miswak to clean your teeth
does not invalidate fasting
During fast, the following things are
permissible:
1 - Taking a bath or shower. If
water is swallowed involuntarily it
will not invalidate the fast.
According to most of the jurists,
swimming is also allowed in
fasting, but one should avoid
diving, because that will cause the
water to go from the mouth or
nose into the stomach.
2 - Using perfumes, wearing
contact lenses or using eye drops.
3 - Taking injections or having a your-notion..co.ke/2018/05/things-that-validate-and-invalidate.html?m=1 |

Politics / Fg Releases Names Of Treasury Looters by Mrsulay: 8:57pm On Mar 30, 2018 |
The Federal Government has released the names of some persons who allegedly looted the nation’s treasury. The Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, released the list in a press briefing in Lagos on Friday. Mohammed clarified that the “treasury looters” were individuals who were officials in the past government. According to the list, the individuals include PDP chieftains who are currently being tried for corruption and financial crimes. The minister further enjoined Nigerians to jettison the apology of the party stressing that the PDP looted the treasury dry under their watch. Mohammed said: “The PDP has challenged us to name the looters under their watch. They said they did not loot the treasury. Well, I am sure they know that the treasury was looted dry under their watch. Yet they decided to grandstand. This shows the hollowness of their apology.” He further stated that the decision of the government to release the names of the alleged looters and the funds they allegedly looted was because of the response by the PDP, telling the APC-led government to name those that have destroyed the economy by looting the treasury. He further stated that this is just a tip of the iceberg and some of the cases are still in court, stressing that the list is not a mere imagination of the APC. Mohammed said: “They are in court and the records are available. Some of the people on this list are seeking plea bargain and that is a fact. “We insist that Nigeria was looted blind under the watch of the PDP and that the starting point in tendering an apology is for them to return the loot.” He further stated that the APC-led government will not stop talking about the alleged looting of the PDP. He added: “We will not stop talking about the massive looting of the PDP. They brought Nigeria to this sorry pass. We are now looking around for loans to build infrastructure, and they ask us not to talk about it.” The Eagle Online reports that the list has the current PDP Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, who allegedly according to the list took N200 million on the 19 of February 2015 from the office of the NSA while former PDP financial secretary also allegedly took N600 million from the office of the NSA too. Former PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, is also mentioned for allegedly collecting N1.4 billion also from the office of the NSA and the Chairman of DAAR Communications, Dr Raymond Dokpesi, is also mentioned for allegedly taking N2.1 billion from the office of the NSA too.

Politics / Atiku Declares Presidential Ambition, Says Apc Has Failed Nigerians by Mrsulay: 9:03am On Mar 28, 2018 |
Former Vice President and chieftain of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar,
has openly declared his intention to contest the
position of the President in 2019.
Abubakar made this known on Tuesday during a
visit to the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom
Wike.
On the trip with Abubakar were leaders of the
PDP, who were in the state to consult with
chieftains of the party in Rivers State.
He said he was offering himself to set the
country on the path of growth after “the serial
failure” of the All Progressives Congress.
He said that since 2015, the APC Federal
Government had destroyed the education, health
and infrastructural sectors through poor
budgetary allocations and releases.
He said: “Since 2015, we have not seen a 100-
kilometre road constructed by the APC Federal
Government anywhere in the country.”
Abubakar pointed out that the APC Federal
Government had destroyed the foundation of
unity and cohesion of the country.
He said: “I have never seen Nigeria so divided
along religious, ethnic and regional lines.
“This division is as a result of the
mismanagement of the APC.”
Wike urged all PDP members irrespective of their
status to ensure that the march to the
Presidential Villa was not truncated by disunity.
He urged presidential aspirants on the platform
of the PDP to contest within acceptable limits,
adding that the race should not be a do-or-die
affair, but a movement to oust a failed APC
Federal Government.
Wike said: “Every presidential aspirant must see
himself as a member of the larger PDP family.

Nairaland / General / Nuj Hails Fg For Taking Steps To Check Hate Speech by Mrsulay: 8:50am On Feb 22, 2018 |
The Nigeria Union of Journalists has commended the Federal Government for directing the National Broadcasting Commission to sanction any Radio or Television station that promotes hate speech. The commendation was contained in a communique issued by NUJ on Wednesday in Kano at the end of its second National Conference held between February 19 and February 20. The Communique, signed by the NUJ National President and Secretary, Abdulwaheed Odusile and Shuaibu Usman Leman respectively, described the step taken by the Federal Government as a welcome development. The conference, therefore, enjoined the National Broadcasting Commission to live up to its responsibilities by monitoring and applying the relevant sections of the law on erring broadcast stations. It stated: “The recent Federal Government’s directive to NBC to sanction any Radio or Television station that turns their platforms to purvey hate speech is a welcome development. “The conference also welcomes steps being taken by the Federal Government through the relevant agencies to strictly enforce the Cyber Crime Act of 2015. “The Act stipulates a punishment of five years imprisonment or a fine of N10 million on anyone convicted of an offence threatening violence or insulting people based on ethnicity, religion or race.” The conference, however, stressed the need for political, religious, traditional and other leaders to lead by example and have self-control as well as guide their aides and followers against making hate speeches. It also stated: “While the constitutional right of freedom of speech and association remains inviolable, political campaigns and speeches in whatever form should be issues-based and within the limits of the rules of the game.” NUJ said as watchdog of the society and the ‘fourth estate of realm’, journalists should stem the trend of hate speech but encourage freedom of speech as guaranteed by the Nigerian constitution. It said: “They (journalists) should uphold the fundamental objectives contained in the chapter II of the Constitution and also the responsibility and accountability of the government to the people.’’ The conference also urged NUJ, the umbrella body of media practice in the country, to educate its members on the importance of self-respect, discipline and to always uphold truth and Justice. It also called for the immediate empowerment of the Nigerian Press Council to enable it carry out its functions effectively. The conference expressed appreciation to the people and government of Kano State for the hospitality and support accorded the NUJ to successfully host the Conference. The conference with the theme: “Hate speech: Halting the Tide Before It Is Too Late” was attended by 500 participants. They included veteran journalists, media moguls, former NUJ National Presidents; as well as members of the National Executive Council from the 36 states and FCT. http://your-notion..com/2018/02/nuj-hails-fg-for-taking-steps-to-check.html?m=1 |

What makes a great teacher?
Study after study shows the single most
important factor determining the quality of the
education a child receives is the quality of his

What makes a great teacher? Teaching is one of
the most complicated jobs today. It demands broad
knowledge of subject matter, curriculum, and
standards; enthusiasm, a caring attitude,
and a love of learning; knowledge of discipline and
classroom management techniques; and a desire
to make a difference in the lives of young
people. With all these qualities required, it’s no
wonder that it’s hard to find great teachers.
Here are some characteristics of great
teachers ?
Great teachers set high expectations for all students .
They expect that all students can and
will achieve in their classroom, and they don’t give
up on underachievers.
Great teachers have clear, written-out
objectives.
Effective teachers have lesson plans
that give students a clear idea of what they will be
learning, what the assignments are and what
the grading policy is. Assignments have learning
goals and give students ample opportunity to
practice new skills. The teacher is consistent in
grading and returns work in a timely manner.
Great teachers are prepared and organized.
They are in their classrooms early and ready to
teach. They present lessons in a clear and
structured way. Their classrooms are organized in
such a way as to minimize distractions.
Great teachers engage students and get them to look
at issues in a variety of ways.
Effective teachers use facts as a starting point, not
an end point; they ask “why” questions, http://your-notion..co.ke/2018/01/what-makes-great-teacher.html?m=1 |
