• The obvious trap that anti-GMO campaigners keep falling into is to base their argument around science instead of economics. That's a surefire way of losing the debate and making yourself look like some kind of Pastor Chris conspiracy kook.

    Look, I come from a family where if you close your eyes and throw a stone, it will hit a doctor. They're like ants. And I can tell you for free that doctors are some of the most arrogant and intransigent professionals you will ever meet, especially where it concerns things that fall within their scope which they don't fully understand - but they will never admit it to you.

    A doctor is like a pilot. They are trained to carry out specific tasks using a written set of instructions and parameters. Everything functions off checklists, instructions, and equipment that someone else created, and their job is to demonstrate knowledge of, and compliance with these things. It's not a doctor's job to question the funding, motive, or methodology behind a peer-reviewed research paper. It's not a doctor's job to question why certain research studies have NOT been carried out and why.

    A doctor's job, like a pilot's job, is to read what someone put in the book and follow the instructions built on this information. If a study conclusively proving that GMO food has negative health consequences has not been done because nobody will fund it, it's not a doctor's job to ask why. Just like despite Boeing whistleblowers as far back as 2014 having complained about the 737 MAX program, it wasn't the Lion Air pilot's job to determine whether the design of this aircraft posed any hazards. Their job was to follow checklist and do as they were told.

    The truth that you will never hear a doctor admit is that most doctors are not especially knowledgeable about things outside their narrow field of specialisation. And even within their field, the knowledge they have is the knowledge that the medical industry allows them to have. Until now as you're reading this, many American doctors and nurses are still taught that there are racial differences in how pain is felt, and that black women feel less pain than white women. As a result of this completely racist, unscientific, 18th century nonsense which nobody has removed from the books, black women in the US are routinely given less anaesthetic during medical procedures, and they are 7-12 times more likely to die during pregnancy and childbirth than white women.

    If you point this out to an American doctor, he will find excuses to deny the obvious or take offense at being queried by a layman who hasn't done 100 level Anatomy. Until Bill Gates funds a peer-reviewed study showing that this 18th century anachronism shouldn't be taught in medical school, and then lobbies the Department of Health to change its guidelines, they will keep defending it because that's what the books say.

    So as an anti-GMO campaigners, the dumbest thing you can do is start quoting obscure or suppressed studies to 'prove' to a medical professional that GMOs are bad. It's a fight you cannot win and you would be foolish to even try. By the time he whips out a paragraph of 5-syllable words that he learnt from his medical textbook, you'll be left blinking your eyes and looking like a dickhead. Bill Gates is a very smart guy. He has ensured that the entire medical research space cannot produce any research that contradicts the one that supports his financial interests, and typically nobody who wears a white coat dares to stand up to him.

    So stick to the economic argument, which is that one man cannot be allowed to privatise and monopolise an entire continent's food supply. Force them to remain on the defensive by using an argument that anyone can understand, and there is no logical comeback for.

    Stop losing and looking silly because you want to take on a white coat on their own turf. It doesn't end well. Stick to what you can prove and defend empirically. Leave the Pastor Chris nonsense out.

  • The Silent Cry: The Real Dangers of Abortion

    Intro: A True-Like Story That Happens Every Day

    Ama was only 19, in her second year at the university. Bright. Ambitious. Full of dreams.
    But life doesn’t always go as planned.

    She found out she was pregnant. The father? A guy who had already moved on. Family? She feared the shame. Friends? Most encouraged her to "just take it out and move on."

    So one quiet afternoon, Ama walked into a backstreet clinic—no signboard, no license, just a promise of quick results. She came out with a heavy heart, bleeding… not just physically but emotionally and spiritually.

    Days later, Ama collapsed in her hostel. The infection had spread. Her womb was damaged. Her dreams of ever carrying a child again? Gone.

    This is not just Ama’s story. It is the story of thousands of young women across Ghana and Africa. Some survive. Some don’t. Most carry the scars forever.

    What Is Abortion?

    Abortion is the deliberate termination of a pregnancy before the baby can survive outside the womb.
    While some abortions are carried out under strict medical guidance due to life-threatening complications, unsafe abortions—especially those done secretly, by untrained persons, or in unsanitary places—pose deadly risks.

    Dangers of Abortion (Especially Unsafe or Repeated)

    1. Physical Health Risks

    Severe bleeding (hemorrhage): Can lead to death if untreated.

    Infections: Unsanitary tools or poor hygiene can introduce bacteria that damage reproductive organs or cause sepsis (blood poisoning).

    Womb perforation: Instruments can tear the uterus, leading to long-term complications or emergency surgery.

    Infertility: Damage to the womb or fallopian tubes can result in permanent infertility.

    Organ damage: Unsafe procedures can harm nearby organs like the bladder or intestines.

    2. Mental and Emotional Trauma

    Depression, guilt, and regret are common.

    Post-Abortion Syndrome: A condition similar to PTSD, marked by anxiety, nightmares, emotional numbness, and self-blame.

    3. Social and Spiritual Consequences

    Emotional distance from partners or family.

    Isolation due to fear or stigma.

    Spiritual guilt or disconnection for those with strong religious values.

    Common Myths That Push Women Toward Abortion

    “It’s just a small problem, take it out.”
    → No. Pregnancy involves two lives: the mother and the child.

    “Abortion is safer than giving birth.”
    → Only when done legally and under medical care. Unsafe abortions kill more women than childbirth in many places.

    “You can’t get pregnant again after just one abortion.”
    → Many women have faced infertility after a single poorly done abortion.

    What Should You Do Instead?

    Talk to a health professional: Seek counseling and support services.

    Look into adoption: Many families are looking to adopt children.

    Educate yourself: Know your body, understand protection, and make informed decisions.

    Join support groups: You're not alone. There are safe spaces to help you make the best decision.

    The Way Forward for Ghana and Africa

    We need more education—not judgment.
    We need safe spaces, not silence.
    We need men to take responsibility, not escape it.
    We need communities to empower, not shame.
    Let’s protect our women, our daughters, and our sisters from the trap of unsafe abortions.

  • Childbirth should bring joy.
    But in Nigeria, too many women walk into hospitals and come out with empty arms.

    Let’s stop treating stillbirth like a taboo. It’s time to learn, act, and speak up.

  • SLOW DOWN AND BE PATIENT WITH LIFE

    If You Are Looking For Wealth, Somebody else Is Looking For Health.

    If You Are Looking For Health, Somebody else Just Dièd.

    If You are Looking For Power, Somebody else Has Acquired And Used it, And he/she is now Powerless.

    Each Time You Drive A Fancy Car, Somebody, Somewhere Is Dying In A Car Crash.

    Each Time a New Mansion Springs From The Earth, A New Grave is Dug Below The Earth.

    Each Time You Throw Away A Morsel, Somebody else somewhere is Searching For a Morsel To Survive.

    Each Time You Throw Food Into Dustbin, Someone else Is Looking For Remnant To Eat.

    Each Time You Ask God To Promote or Change Your Present Situation, Someone else Is Praying to Get To Your Present Situation.

    For Each Smile On The Planet, There's a Drop Of Tear In Another Place On The Planet.

    For Each Celebration Of Childbirth, There Are Tears of Bùrial.

    Each Time You Urinate Or Drink Water, Remember Someone Is Using Pipe For The Same Purpòse.

    So Always Be Thankful.

  • How can a man get a woman pregnant, disappear into thin air, and leave her to carry the weight of pregnancy, childbirth, and raising a child alone, only to resurface years later claiming to be the father? That’s not fatherhood, that’s cruelty and injustice.

    You weren’t there when her feet were swollen, you didn’t hear her cry herself to sleep, you didn’t buy diapers, pay hospital bills, or calm the baby at 3 a.m, but now the child is growing fine, you suddenly remember you’re the “father”? Let’s be honest; if you’re not ready to take responsibility, keep your manhood to yourself. Don’t ruin a woman’s life with your carelessness and cowardice.

    Ladies, know your worth. And to every man out there, fatherhood is more than biology, it’s about being present, committed, and responsible. Don’t show up only when it’s convenient. That child deserved a father from day one, not a visitor in year five.

  • *DIABETES*
    Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels, often leading to damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves.

    The main types of diabetes include type 1,
    type 2, and gestational diabetes.

    Types of Diabetes:

    *Type 1 Diabetes:*
    This type is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, resulting in little to no insulin production.
    It often develops in childhood or adolescence but can occur at any age.


    *Type 2 Diabetes:*
    In this type, the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or its cells don't respond properly to insulin (insulin resistance). This leads to a buildup of glucose in the bloodstream.
    Type 2 diabetes is the most common type and usually develops in adulthood, but it can also occur in children.

    *Gestational Diabetes:*
    This type develops during pregnancy and typically resolves after childbirth. However, women who have gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.

    *Prediabetes:*
    This is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Individuals with prediabetes are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

    Treating diabetes involves a multifaceted approach, including lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise, and often requires medication, such as insulin or non-insulin antihyperglycemic agents. The specific formulation used depends on the type of diabetes and individual patient needs.

    Types of Diabetes and Treatment Approaches:
    Type 1 Diabetes:
    Primarily requires insulin therapy due to the body's inability to produce insulin. Insulin is administered through injections or an insulin pump, mimicking the natural function of the pancreas.

    Type 2 Diabetes:
    Often managed initially with diet and exercise, but may require medication as well. Medications can include oral antidiabetic drugs (e.g., sulfonylureas, metformin, GLP-1 receptor agonists) or insulin therapy.

    Gestational Diabetes:
    Usually managed with diet, exercise, and potentially insulin, especially if blood sugar levels are not controlled.

    Formulation Methods:
    Diet and Exercise:
    These play a crucial role in managing blood sugar levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and promoting overall health.

    Insulin Therapy:
    Involves administering insulin to lower blood sugar levels. Different types of insulin are available, including short-acting, rapid-acting, and long-acting options, and are chosen based on individual needs.

    Non-Insulin Antihyperglycemic Medications:
    These drugs work in different ways to lower blood sugar levels, such as by increasing insulin production, improving insulin sensitivity, or slowing down glucose absorption.
    Other Treatments:
    May include therapies like islet cell transplantation (a more advanced treatment that restores insulin-producing cells) or insulin pumps (devices that deliver insulin continuously, mimicking the body's natural function).

    Example of a Formulation (Combination Therapy):
    A common approach for type 2 diabetes is a combination of oral antidiabetic medications (like metformin) and insulin, used when oral medications alone are not sufficient to control blood sugar.

    Some formulations may also include other treatments like GLP-1 receptor agonists, which can help improve blood sugar control and may also lead to weight loss.

    Important Considerations:
    Individualized Treatment:
    The specific formulation used should be tailored to each patient's individual needs, taking into account factors like their age, other health conditions, and medication preferences.

    Monitoring and Adjustments:
    Regular blood sugar monitoring and follow-up appointments are essential to ensure the formulation is working effectively and to make necessary adjustments.

    Education and Support:
    Patient education is crucial to ensure proper medication use and understanding of the diabetes management plan.

    Diabetes treatment formulation involves a comprehensive.

    *Lunch:* Salad with grilled chicken or fish, whole-grain bread, and vegetables.

    *Dinner:* Baked chicken or fish with roasted vegetables and brown rice.

    Snacks: Fruits, vegetables, nuts, or a piece of whole-grain bread with a small amount of low-fat cheese.

    *Additional Tips:*
    Read food labels: Pay attention to sugar and carbohydrate content.

    Consult with a registered dietitian: A dietitian can help create a personalized meal plan.

    *Stay hydrated:* Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

    *Be active:* Regular physical activity helps improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.

    *Manage stress:* High stress levels can impact blood sugar.

    *Don't skip meals:* Regular meals help prevent blood sugar swings.

    *Monitor your blood sugar:* Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress and make adjustments to your diet.

    *Consider cultural preferences:* Incorporate healthy versions of traditional Nigerian dishes into your meal plan.

    Use the plate method: Fill half of your plate with non-starchy vegetables, a quarter with lean protein, and a quarter with a carbohydrate.

    *POTENTIAL WARNING SIGNS OF DIABETES* include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, excessive hunger, fatigue, blurred vision, slow-healing wounds, numbness or tingling in hands/feet, frequent skin or vaginal yeast infections, and dark skin patches.

    More detailed look at each of these signs:
    1. Increased Thirst and Frequent Urination:
    Excessive thirst (polydipsia) and frequent urination (polyuria) are common early symptoms, especially in type 1 diabetes.

    2. Unexplained Weight Loss:
    Despite increased appetite, unexplained weight loss can be a sign of type 1 diabetes, as the body is unable to utilize glucose for energy.

    3. Excessive Hunger:
    Increased appetite (polyphagia) can occur as the body tries to compensate for the inability to use glucose.

    4. Fatigue:
    Persistent tiredness and weakness can be a result of high blood sugar levels and dehydration from frequent urination.

    5. Blurred Vision:
    High blood sugar can affect the lens and cause changes in fluid levels in the eye, leading to temporary blurring.

    6. Slow-Healing Wounds:
    Diabetes can impair blood circulation, slowing down the healing process of cuts and sores.

    7. Numbness or Tingling in Hands/Feet:
    Nerve damage (neuropathy) from high blood sugar can cause tingling or numbness, particularly in the extremities.

    8. Frequent Skin or Vaginal Yeast Infections:
    High blood sugar can create an environment for yeast to thrive.

    9. Dark Skin Patches:
    Acanthosis nigricans, characterized by dark, velvety patches in skin folds (like armpits, neck, groin), can be a sign of type 2 diabetes.

    10. Shin Spots (Diabetic Dermopathy):
    These round, brown or reddish-brown spots, often on the shins, can be a sign of diabetes and may fade after diabetes is well-controlled.

    *Treatment plan for the management of diabetes*

    King of bitter, abere seed,bitter leaf and bitter kola

    From personal experience, both King of Bitters and Abere Seed live up to their reputations but in different ways.

    *King of Bitters* has a sharp, intense bitterness that fully activates all the bitter-sensitive areas of the tongue. It hits hard the moment it touches your tongue but fades relatively quickly. The initial impact is strong, but it doesn’t linger for too long.

    *Abere Seed*, on the other hand, offers a more complex bitterness. It not only stimulates the bitter taste buds but seems to engage the sour-sensitive areas as well.

    The bitterness hits hard—just like King of Bitters—but unlike it, the taste lingers stubbornly. It stays on your tongue, often making you want to scrape it off. That lingering bitterness is what sets it apart.

    *Bitter Leaf* falls somewhere in between. Its bitterness is noticeable and persistent but not as sharp as King of Bitters nor as lingering as Abere Seed. In my experience, *Bitter Kola* shares a similar bitterness level with Bitter Leaf—distinct but not overwhelming.

    Now, imagine combining these four potent botanicals—King of Bitters, Abere Seed, Bitter Leaf, and Bitter Kola—into one powerful herbal formulation:
    *Know as Bitters Capsule*.

    This herbal blend could be nature’s answer to some of the most stubborn ailments. From supporting *liver health* to reversing *diabetics status, fighting hepatitis*, and even showing promise in the *treatment of cancer*—bitter plants hold remarkable healing potential.

    Yes, Nature truly put healing essence in bitter herbs.

    *DIABETES* Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels, often leading to damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. The main types of diabetes include type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Types of Diabetes: *Type 1 Diabetes:* This type is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, resulting in little to no insulin production. It often develops in childhood or adolescence but can occur at any age. *Type 2 Diabetes:* In this type, the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or its cells don't respond properly to insulin (insulin resistance). This leads to a buildup of glucose in the bloodstream. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type and usually develops in adulthood, but it can also occur in children. *Gestational Diabetes:* This type develops during pregnancy and typically resolves after childbirth. However, women who have gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. *Prediabetes:* This is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Individuals with prediabetes are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Treating diabetes involves a multifaceted approach, including lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise, and often requires medication, such as insulin or non-insulin antihyperglycemic agents. The specific formulation used depends on the type of diabetes and individual patient needs. Types of Diabetes and Treatment Approaches: Type 1 Diabetes: Primarily requires insulin therapy due to the body's inability to produce insulin. Insulin is administered through injections or an insulin pump, mimicking the natural function of the pancreas. Type 2 Diabetes: Often managed initially with diet and exercise, but may require medication as well. Medications can include oral antidiabetic drugs (e.g., sulfonylureas, metformin, GLP-1 receptor agonists) or insulin therapy. Gestational Diabetes: Usually managed with diet, exercise, and potentially insulin, especially if blood sugar levels are not controlled. Formulation Methods: Diet and Exercise: These play a crucial role in managing blood sugar levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and promoting overall health. Insulin Therapy: Involves administering insulin to lower blood sugar levels. Different types of insulin are available, including short-acting, rapid-acting, and long-acting options, and are chosen based on individual needs. Non-Insulin Antihyperglycemic Medications: These drugs work in different ways to lower blood sugar levels, such as by increasing insulin production, improving insulin sensitivity, or slowing down glucose absorption. Other Treatments: May include therapies like islet cell transplantation (a more advanced treatment that restores insulin-producing cells) or insulin pumps (devices that deliver insulin continuously, mimicking the body's natural function). Example of a Formulation (Combination Therapy): A common approach for type 2 diabetes is a combination of oral antidiabetic medications (like metformin) and insulin, used when oral medications alone are not sufficient to control blood sugar. Some formulations may also include other treatments like GLP-1 receptor agonists, which can help improve blood sugar control and may also lead to weight loss. Important Considerations: Individualized Treatment: The specific formulation used should be tailored to each patient's individual needs, taking into account factors like their age, other health conditions, and medication preferences. Monitoring and Adjustments: Regular blood sugar monitoring and follow-up appointments are essential to ensure the formulation is working effectively and to make necessary adjustments. Education and Support: Patient education is crucial to ensure proper medication use and understanding of the diabetes management plan.
