* Octopuses have three hearts and blue blood. Two hearts pump blood to the gills while one pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. Their blood is blue because it uses copper to transport oxygen unlike the red blood of humans which is transported with iron.

*TODAY IN HISTORY*

* On this day in 1994, Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola declared himself as Nigeria’s president in what is now known as the Epetedo Declaration. This was a year after the June 12, 1993, which it is now cofirmed he won, was annulled by the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida. Less than 24 hours, he was arrested by the military government led by General Sani Abacha and detained without trial. He remained in custody till July 7, 1998 when he died under suspicious circumstances, just days after Abacha died.

Here are 6 amazing copper health benefits:

Copper has powerful effects on brain function i.e it helps connect neurons (brain wires)

Copper is also involved in making neurotransmitters (dopamine, GABA, Adrenaline). These are chemicals.

Copper is important for collagen - elastin (allow tissues in your body to stretch out and shrink back. Your arteries are tube-shaped blood vessels that carry blood from your heart through your body. Elastin gives your arteries stretchy characteristics that make it easier for your heart to pump blood).

Copper supports melanin ( Melanin is a substance that provides pigmentation to your skin, eyes and hair).

Copper helps support the immune system.

Copper is involved in the anti-inflammatory process

The APC is deploying divisive tactics to brand Peter Obi as an ethnic candidate, hoping to diminish his rising popularity ahead of 2027. But we see through their propaganda. We know the truth.

Peter Obi is not an ethnic champion he is a national visionary. A leader who has stood, and continues to stand, for every Nigerian  Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, Ijaw, Tiv, and every other group without bias or prejudice. His record speaks louder than their lies. From education to healthcare, from economic reform to youth empowerment, Peter Obi has reached across regions, religions, and tongues with policies grounded in justice, equity, and progress.

They want to divide us. We must not let them.

In a time when Nigeria cries out for unity, competence, and integrity, Peter Obi offers hope not to a tribe, but to a nation. His passion is not for a section of Nigeria, but for all Nigerians.

Let us resist the merchants of division. Let us reject the politics of hate. Let us stand together for the Nigeria we deserve a Nigeria where leadership is earned through vision and service, not propaganda and fear.

Peter Obi is not the candidate of a tribe. He is the candidate of the future for all Nigerians.

Another patient of mine just broke up with bread.
She swore she couldn't live without it.
Turns out, she could.

Right now, there's;
No more ulcers.
No more midnight stomach "wahala".
No more gut fire.

In her words: "I really miss bread... but my health now comes FIRST."

LISTEN UP:
Once you drop the bread, you drop the pain.

It’s NOT magic.
It’s just refusing the madness.

Your "I can’t quit bread" excuse will not help you.
Dem no swear for you with bread.

Try quitting it for 1 month and watch what vanishes:

→ Bloating
→ Acid reflux
→ Cholesterol chaos
→ Blood sugar spikes
→ Joint aches
→ Stomach battles
→ Diabetes
→ Fatty Liver
→ Mystery back pain
→ ...even unexplained fever, chills, and fatigue (often mistaken for malaria!).

Your body WILL appreciate you probably with tears of Joy.

This got me emotional and deep in thought when I heard it…

At a school’s end-of-year party, the hall was filled with excitement as the children gave their presentations. Among them was a little boy of class 5 named Nathan.

Several children had already taken the stage with clear and straight voices, full of confidence. Everyone had concluded it was a day full of beautiful talent displace and that the kids were amazing.

Then came Nathan’s turn.

“But why did the teacher allow Nathan to present, knowing how he struggles to speak in front of people?”

Nathan stood frozen. His words barely came out. His eyes searched the crowd, hoping to see a safe face but all he saw were expectant eyes. His mother forced a small smile to encourage him, but inside, her heart sank. She felt sad and embarrassed. She wondered, why her son couldn't shine like the others.

Nathan was gently cheered back to his seat. He wasn't able to present though he tried.
He went to his mother looked at her and whispered, “I tried.” She smiled, hugged him tightly, and said, “It’s okay.”

Now, let me ask you:
What do you think was wrong with Nathan?
How many ‘Nathans’ do you know?
Are you facing the same dilemma, wondering how to help your child grow in boldness and confidence?

Let us help.

Acid Rain and Its Formation

What is Acid Rain?
Acid rain refers to any form of precipitation (rain, snow, fog, or dust) that has been made acidic due to the presence of certain pollutants in the atmosphere. It typically has a pH below 5.6 and can harm ecosystems, buildings, and human health.

Formation of Acid Rain:

1. Emission of Pollutants:

Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOₓ) are released into the atmosphere mainly from:

-Burning of fossil fuels in power plants and factories.
-Emissions from vehicles.
-Industrial processes such as smelting.

2. Chemical Reactions in the Atmosphere:

Once in the atmosphere, SO₂ and NOₓ react with water vapor (H₂O), oxygen (O₂), and other chemicals.

These reactions form:

-Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄)
-Nitric acid (HNO₃)

3. Acid Precipitation:

These acids mix with cloud moisture and fall to the ground as acid rain (or snow, fog, etc.).

Chemical Equations (Simplified):

-SO₂ + H₂O → H₂SO₃ (sulfurous acid)
-2SO₂ + O₂ → 2SO₃; then SO₃ + H₂O → H₂SO₄ (sulfuric acid)
-2NO₂ + H₂O → HNO₂ + HNO₃ (nitrous and nitric acids)

Environmental Effects:

- Soil and Water: Reduces pH, harming aquatic life and leaching nutrients from soil.
- Plants: Damages leaves, limits nutrient uptake.
- Buildings: Corrodes metal and erodes stone structures.
- Human Health: Can worsen respiratory problems when inhaled as fine particles.

Controlling acid rain involves reducing emissions of SO₂ and NOₓ through clean energy sources, emission filters (like scrubbers), and regulations such as the Clean Air Act.
