*BE CAREFUL WHEN TAKING PHOTOS OF NEWBORNS!!*

This morning, I was called to the home of one Alhaji to examine a baby girl who was born three weeks ago.

When I arrived at the house:

They complained to me that the baby girl seems to have trouble seeing. Since the day of her naming ceremony up to the time I'm sharing this message, her parents have noticed that she doesn't respond to light or to hand movements near her eyes or face.

Because of this, I suggested they consult a pediatrician at Nassarawa Hospital. I called a pediatrician and explained the situation, but he said this case should rather be seen by an eye specialist.

The surprising part that made me share this with you is what the eye specialist said when I called him. He asked, "Did they have a naming ceremony at home?" I said, "Yes, they did, and it was well attended."

Then he said that it's now being observed that many babies who had home naming ceremonies, where the husband’s and wife’s relatives took pictures of the newborns with their phones, end up with visual problems. The flash from phone cameras, especially during the early days or first one or two months of life, can damage the retina—the part of the eye that sends visual information to the brain.

This happens because relatives often insist that the baby open their eyes for a photo, and at that moment, the flash from the phone’s camera can harm the baby's retina.

Taking photos of a baby during the naming ceremony can potentially cause permanent blindness.

Please, let’s be careful. And let’s educate parents and relatives about the dangers of insisting that a newborn open their eyes for photos.

Please share this message so others can benefit.

2. *Family History*: A family history of colon cancer or polyps increases risk.
3. *Genetic Syndromes*: Certain genetic syndromes, such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or Lynch syndrome.
4. *Diet*: A diet high in red meat and low in fiber may increase risk.
5. *Obesity*: Being overweight or obese may increase risk.

Symptoms

4. *Weakness or Fatigue*: Feeling weak or tired.
5. *Unexplained Weight Loss*: Losing weight without trying.

Screening and Diagnosis
1. *Colonoscopy*: A procedure that examines the entire colon.
2. *Stool Tests*: Tests that check for blood or DNA in stool.
3. *Imaging Tests*: Tests such as CT scans or MRI scans.

Treatment
1. *Surgery*: Surgery to remove the tumor and affected tissue.
2. *Chemotherapy*: Chemotherapy to kill cancer cells.
3. *Radiation Therapy*: Radiation therapy to kill cancer cells.

Prevention
1. *Screening*: Regular screening can help detect colon cancer early.
2. *Healthy Diet*: Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
3. *Exercise*: Engaging in regular physical activity.

Early detection and treatment can significantly improve outcomes. If you're 50 or older, talk to your doctor about screening options.

Colon Cancer: Additional Information
Types of Colon Cancer
1. *Adenocarcinoma*: The most common type, arising from glandular cells.
2. *Carcinoid tumors*: Rare, slow-growing tumors.
3. *Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs)*: Rare tumors.

Stages of Colon Cancer
1. *Stage I*: Cancer is limited to the colon or rectum.
2. *Stage II*: Cancer has grown through the wall of the colon or rectum.
3. *Stage III*: Cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes.
4. *Stage IV*: Cancer has spread to distant organs.

Treatment Options
1. *Surgical resection*: Removing the tumor and affected tissue.
2. *Chemotherapy*: Killing cancer cells with medication.
3. *Targeted therapy*: Targeting specific cancer cells or proteins.
4. *Immunotherapy*: Boosting the immune system to fight cancer.

Lifestyle Changes
1. *Diet*: Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
2. *Exercise*: Engaging in regular physical activity.
3. *Weight management*: Maintaining a healthy weight.
4. *Smoking cessation*: Quitting smoking.

Importance of Screening
1. *Early detection*: Screening can detect colon cancer at an early stage.
2. *Prevention*: Screening can help prevent colon cancer by removing precancerous polyps.

If you have concerns about colon cancer or screening, consult with your healthcare provider.

Did you know that two American pilots flew a plane nonstop for almost 65 days?
In 1958, Robert Timm and John Cook set an incredible record by flying a modified Cessna 172 for 64 days, 22 hours, and 19 minutes without landing! Starting from Las Vegas, Nevada , these brave pilots faced an extreme challenge of endurance and creativity.

To stay in the air so long, they used an amazing refueling system : a tanker truck on the ground supplied fuel through a hose while they flew at very low altitude . They also received food , water , and supplies by lowering a rope from the ground.

Throughout the flight, they took turns flying and resting , dealing with mechanical problems , cramped conditions , and even an improvised bathroom onboard. The fatigue was intense, but their determination never wavered.

This record-breaking flight was not just a stunt to promote a casino but a true test of skill and stamina before the age of modern technology and autopilot systems.

Even today, this amazing feat remains one of the longest nonstop flights in aviation history.

Russia's Foreign Minister  Sergei Lavrov in 2023 stated that for Africa to truly free itself from neocolonialism and imperialism, the continent must have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council—where major global decisions are made.

Furthermore, the African nation holding that seat should also possess and host a nuclear power program to safeguard the continent's voice on the international stage. According to the minister, this represents Russia's position, and "we will see what the future holds."

Former Malian International and Barcelona star, Seydou Keita has invested $25 Million in Malian Agro industry, producing low cholesterol cooking OIL, Shea Butter, and other products. Creating jobs and opportunities for his people.

More Africans must follow his example.
