Pooping Incorrectly?

     Shit business they say is a serious business and the only way we can have a healthy colon is by making sure that we discharge our bowels appropriately....without leaving residues that can cause colon diseases, Hemorrhoids and some pelvic floor issues.
     So, this may not be new but I have been reading up so many articles lately on how the squat or pit toilet that we used in 19kiridi is now better than the Water Flush Toilet, and how we have been slowly killing ourselves with the new method. Hian!  The thing be say, today you hear how one thing is good, the next day you are told that same thing is bad...have you heard that wheat is no longer good for us? Sorry for combining poop and food *side eyes*
     The proponents of going back to the squatting poop position are saying that "while sitting, the bend called the anorectal angle is kinked (twist or curve) which puts upward pressure on the rectum and keeps the faeces inside, and makes you strain in order to eliminate, but when you squat the bend straightens out and defecation becomes easier." 
     Hmm, there just might be some sense in this and the only way to know is to try it out.
    Okay please do not stand on your toilet seat o, to avoid stories that touch the heart, patapata just get one carpenter to make one for you.

Putting Nigeria's locally made drinks on the map

Image
Nigeria just held its first International Drinks Festival were about 20,000 consumers and investors attended the three day event. Over 200 companies manufacturing various drinks exhibited their brands. The festival was organized to help put locally made drinks on the world map and see how investors can look into getting the drinks exported. From beautifully bottled palm wine to locally made gin and red wine, guests were allowed to have a taste of everything they wanted while deciding on what to buy. It was fun getting this story done. We filmed Ene Onwuka while she prepared Zobo, Kunu and Tiger nuts drink. Ene's drinks are sugar free, trust me, I was there from the beginning of her production until she bottled the last drink. No sugar whatsoever, just dates and honey to sweeten it. If you are pro health, then please reach me or google for her contact. She showcased at the festival. She is a banker and the founder of "Kunuski." Nigeria drinks 16 million hectolitres

Tiwa seeks to restore our forgotten folk-tale tradition

Image
If you are an 80's child like me and grew up watching Tales by Moonlight on NTA (Nigeria Television Authority) then you will understand why this story struck a chord when I first saw it.      As usual I was strolling on the streets of Instagram when I saw a post by @Lagoshousewife about this bear that tells African folk tales. Immediately, my child hood flashed before me.     You see, folk tales were traditionally an important learning tool before the introduction of formal education. Children will sit on the floor, surrounding either a parent or grand parent who told them stories about the tortoise or the dog, and these stories always ended with a moral lesson. Folk tales were used to pass knowledge from generation to generation.      However, even after formal education took the fore front, folk tales were still told to children but this is gradually waning and Nigerian entrepreneur Tola Akanbi decided to do something to help, he created Tiwa The Talking Bear, something

Rare Super Blood Moon By Midnight Today

Image
     We expect to see a bloody moon from midnight today, Sunday 28, 2015 between the hours of 12 midnight to 6am. The bloody moon, when it occurs will last for about an hour. A bloody moon occurs because the moon is very close to the earth, making it extremely bright. According to NASA this has only happened five times since 1900, the last one was in 1982, and the next one will be in 2033.      Everything has been tied around this bloody moon, from it being the end of the world, to volcanoes erupting, to earthquakes and all of that. In fact I just read on christian.com that in the US state of Utah, people are already stock piling on dried foods and emergency stuff. They are so convinced something will happen. The world had ended so many times in the past, yet these end time propagators don't just stop, they just find a new date and continue.
