Bill Gates believes that within the next 10 years, AI will take over “most things,” reducing the standard workweek to just two days and turning the rest into free time.

He says we’ll need to rethink how we spend that extra time, as AI could fill major gaps in healthcare and education by providing dependable doctors and tutors.

Gates sees this as a future of abundance, where even physical labor is handled by AI powered robots, leaving us to focus on more meaningful pursuits and how to fairly share the benefits of a five day weekend.

BOIL GINGER AND CASSAVA LEAVES FREQUENTLY TO TREAT THESE COMMON DISEASES NATURALLY


In many African homes, traditional remedies continue to play a vital role in everyday health care. One powerful but often overlooked combination is ginger and cassava leaves — two natural ingredients with a long history in herbal medicine. When boiled together, this mixture is believed to help manage a variety of health conditions…

But what does tradition — and science — say about this powerful herbal duo?

Why Ginger?
Ginger is a well-known root that contains gingerol, a compound with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. It’s used worldwide for:

Reducing nausea and vomiting

Lowering inflammation

Relieving muscle pain

Managing high blood sugar

Supporting immune health

Why Cassava Leaves?
Cassava leaves are rich in vitamin C, iron, calcium, and plant proteins. In traditional medicine, boiled cassava leaves are used for:

Treating malaria symptoms

Boosting blood production (especially in anemia)

Supporting wound healing

Relieving diarrhea and stomach issues

Fighting fatigue and general weakness

Note: Cassava leaves must be properly cooked to remove toxic compounds like cyanide.

Diseases This Herbal Combo May Help Manage
Malaria (symptom relief)
Boiling cassava leaves may help reduce fever and body weakness, while ginger helps fight inflammation.

Anemia
The iron and protein in cassava leaves, combined with ginger’s ability to stimulate digestion and circulation, can help boost blood levels.


Arthritis and Joint Pain
Ginger’s anti-inflammatory effects can ease pain, while cassava leaves provide supportive nutrients.

Menstrual Cramps
Ginger is a known natural remedy for cramp relief, and cassava leaves provide iron lost during menstruation.

Fatigue & Low Immunity
Together, this combo delivers vitamins, antioxidants, and iron—helping to fight tiredness and boost your body’s defense system.

How to Prepare It
Ingredients:

1 handful of fresh cassava leaves (properly washed)

1 thumb-sized piece of ginger (sliced or crushed)

3–4 cups of clean water

Instructions:

Boil the cassava leaves and ginger in water for 15–20 minutes.

Allow to cool slightly, then strain.

Drink 1 cup in the morning and/or evening, no more than 3 times per week.

Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any herbal remedy—especially if you’re pregnant, nursing, or on medication.

While ginger and cassava leaves are not magical cures, they are powerful natural allies in promoting better health. When prepared correctly and used in moderation, this combination may help relieve symptoms of common ailments and boost overall wellness.

But remember: herbal remedies should complement, not replace, medical advice. Use them wisely and always stay informed.

Wetin Naija Churches Dey Do?

- Praise Fowowe

I just finished lecturing the first class of the family life ministry program for ministers in North America. I had to stay awake here in Nigeria to take that class. One discussion point is how well we have influenced the world. As i left the class i sat back to reflect and decided to write about the impact of the charismatic movement in Nigeria.

In a time where it has become fashionable to drag the Church…
Where cynicism is now mistaken for intelligence,
And many have built entire brands around pointing fingers at pulpits,
Permit me today to ask a question with deep reverence in my heart:

Wetin Naija churches dey do?

Because if you look beyond the noise,
If you silence the sarcasm and let your spirit observe,
You will see something breathtaking.

I was at The Platform Africa organized by Pastor Poju Oyemade and hosted with such elegance by Covenant Nation
And there I sat, humbled…
Watching two of the youngest founders on the lineup,
Lighting up the stage with wisdom far beyond their years.
Guess what?
They were both products of Covenant University
A vision birthed by Bishop David Oyedepo.

In a world that questions what churches are doing,
I saw what the church has done.
Not just in words, but in evidence.
These weren’t preachers. They were builders.
And yet, they were fruits of the altar.

The Church is Building Quietly…
While many are tweeting and tearing down,
The Church is training leaders, healing bodies, building systems,
Feeding nations, and raising kingdoms often without fanfare.

Let's examine what a few more are doing...

Covenant Nation – Enlightening the Mind
Through The Platform Africa, they are raising civic consciousness, driving advocacy, nation building, policy reform
Not in the spirit alone, but in the boardrooms of power. They are building a critical team of intelligent christian who are mastering the priestly and kingly dimension of things

Daystar Christian Centre – Raising Leaders
Led by Pastor Sam Adeyemi, they’ve built a leadership factory.
Quietly, powerfully, they are equipping ordinary people to lead extraordinary lives.
In business, in governance, in families—Daystar alumni are everywhere. I am sure you know I am a member of Daystar

Elevation Church – Healing Bodies through Ubomi
Pastor Godman Akinlabi is not just preaching grace
He’s deploying grace in the form of surgeries, health outreaches,
And radical medical intervention for those who can’t afford it.
Ubomi is saving lives—literally.

RCCG – Building a Medical Village
The Redeemed Christian Church of God is not just praying for the sick. They’ve built entire villages of healing,
Where medical care meets ministry, and hope walks the hallways like a doctor.

And There Are Many More…
From prison outreaches to orphan care,
From schools in remote villages to rehabilitation centers for drug addicts,
From teenage pregnancy interventions to trauma healing systems
The Nigerian Church is doing far more than you think.

You must have noticed i intentionally skipped the orthodox churches because they educated majority of us and without them many of us may not have survived the healthcare systems. I will speak about them later.

But we have become so used to miracles,
That we miss the movement.
We are so addicted to drama,
That we overlook the quiet hands building nations behind the veil.

🙏🏾 Let Me Say This Clearly:
The Nigerian Church is not perfect—but she is powerful.
She may be bruised, but she is beautiful.
She may be misunderstood, but she is moving mountains.

So today, I pause to say:
Well done.
To every pastor, usher, intercessor, media crew, church cleaner, children’s minister, health worker, architect, administrator…
To the churches you’ll never see on TV,
To the missionaries who gave their youth to unreached places—
Thank you. We see you. Heaven sees you.

We Will Tell Our Children…
That in the middle of confusion and criticism,
There were altars that stood.
There were churches that built.
There were shepherds who loved.
There were temples where healing flowed.
And in that sacred space, Nigeria found hope again.

So the next time someone asks:

“Wetin Naija churches dey do?”
Smile gently…
And say:

“They’re raising kings. They’re healing nations. They’re changing the story.”

With all my love,

Praise Fowowe

In Nigeria today, the situation we find ourselves in calls for urgent and deliberate action.

It is time for all levels of government to prioritize critical areas of development—particularly investment in health, education, and poverty alleviation.

We must reassess what truly matters. The decisions we make—what we build, fund, and focus on—must align with the pressing needs of the people.

Just this month, the World Bank reported that, as of April 2025, the poverty rate among rural Nigerians has risen to over 75%, indicating widespread economic hardship across the country. The report also highlighted that 41.3% of Nigeria’s urban population now lives below the poverty line. This shows that poverty is no longer just a rural crisis—it has become a national emergency.

In comparison, the World Bank reported that in 2018/2019, about 30.9% of Nigerians lived below the international extreme poverty line.

As of 2025, that figure has more than doubled instead of improving.

These facts confirm that poverty in Nigeria has worsened significantly—and this is no coincidence.

It is the direct result of years of misplaced priorities. Rather than investing in critical sectors, we have continued to prioritize wasteful spending on non-developmental projects such as conference centres, government houses and lodges, guest houses, and fleets of official vehicles—instead of investing in human capital, education, and healthcare, which are the true legacy projects capable of transforming a nation.

We must urgently redirect our national focus and address the root causes of poverty.

Nigeria must expand access to quality education and healthcare, and support job creation by investing in and empowering Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which are essential for lifting people out of poverty.

A new Nigeria is POssible.

WHY AFRICANS PRAY MORE THAN THE REST OF THE WORLD IS BECAUSE IN AFRICA, GOD DOES THE JOB OF THE GOVERNMENT!

1. ELECTRICITY
AFRICA:
“Oh Lord, let there be light! Even if it’s for 2 hours!”
EUROPE:
“This LED bulb is too yellow, I’m returning it.”
TRUTH:
In Africa, power supply is a prayer point.
In Europe, it’s a basic right.

2. WATER SUPPLY
AFRICA:
“God, let it rain so we can fetch water!”
EUROPE:
“My shower is too cold. Fix it or I sue!”
TRUTH:
In Europe, taps flow.
In Africa, faith flows.

3. JOBS & EMPLOYMENT
AFRICA:
“Jehovah, bless me with any job. Even volunteer, I’ll manage!”
EUROPE:
“I’m rejecting that role. The salary doesn’t reflect my worth.”
TRUTH:
In Africa, unemployment is a fasting topic.
In Europe, it’s a policy issue.

4. SECURITY
AFRICA:
“Father, may no stray bullet locate me today!”
EUROPE:
“There’s a suspicious sound outside, police arrived in 4 mins.”
TRUTH:
There, safety is law.
Here, safety is prayer and luck.

5. ROADS & INFRASTRUCTURE
AFRICA:
“Lord, don’t let this pothole swallow my destiny.”
EUROPE:
“This small crack on the road is unacceptable!”
TRUTH:
In Africa, a smooth road is a testimony.
In Europe, it’s standard.

6. HEALTHCARE
AFRICA:
“Jesus, let the injection work, and not the side effect!”
EUROPE:
“Therapist booked. Medication free. Follow-up scheduled.”
TRUTH:
One gets healthcare from government.
The other gets hope from prayer warriors.

7. EDUCATION
AFRICA:
“God, let WAEC release results with mercy I sowed a seed !”
EUROPE:
“Government paid for my Master’s. I got a scholarship too.”
TRUTH:
There, education is an investment.
Here, it’s a miracle.

8. PENSION & RETIREMENT 👴🏽
AFRICA:
“Jehovah, don’t let my pension be swallowed by corruption!”
EUROPE:
“I retired. Government sends monthly check.”
REALITY:
Here, retirement is fear and fasting.
There, it’s relaxation and benefits.

9. VISA REQUEST
AFRICA:
“Oh Lord, break every generational curse stopping this UK visa!”
EUROPE:
“I need a break. Might fly to Ghana for the weekend.”
REALITY:
In Africa, travelling = fasting, faith, and fire oil.
In Europe, travelling = booking.com and a suitcase.

BUT HERE’S THE REAL PROBLEM…

High death rates

Joblessness

Poor security

Land battles turning spiritual

Sick people dying at church crusades instead of hospitals

…because African leaders ENJOY it when you dump your problems on an imported god instead of holding them accountable!

Why should they build hospitals when you'll run to prayer camps? By his stripes you're healed right?
Why fix the road when your busy praying for travelling mercy on a deadly road?
Why create jobs when your faith says “God will provide”?

They know you won’t protest. You’ll just pray.
And that’s how they win.

AFRICANS WILL RAISE MILLIONS TO BUILD A CATHEDRAL……but won’t donate a dime to upgrade the clinic where their own mothers give birth on rusted beds with no gloves.

We’ll buy:

Imported church instruments

HD projectors

Shiny marble altars

Designer suits for “Papa”

And bulletproof cars for “Daddy G.O”

Meanwhile, the local hospital:

Has no electricity

No running water

One nurse doing the work of five

And a doctor using a torchlight to deliver babies.

AND HERE’S THE PLOT TWIST:
The pastor you’re funding for “God’s work” won’t even treat malaria in that same country.

When he's sick?
Private jet to Europe.
When you're sick?
Pray. Fast. Sow a seed. Hope the hospital has Panadol.

FINAL THOUGHT:
God is NOT your governor.
Angels are NOT civil engineers.
Your miracle is called good governance.

Stop calling on jesus/allah about things your local government chairman should’ve done.

This is why most religious Africans tend to be less or non-religious

Bill Gates Says AI Will Replace Doctors and Teachers Within a Decade.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has made a bold prediction: artificial intelligence will be capable of replacing doctors and teachers within the next 10 years.

As we enter what he calls the “Era of Free Intelligence,” Gates envisions AI-powered tools becoming as common and accessible as smartphones—revolutionizing how we learn and receive healthcare.

He believes AI tutors will deliver personalized education to every child globally, breaking barriers of language, cost, and geography.

In healthcare, AI could diagnose illnesses faster and more accurately than human doctors, especially in underserved regions.

Gates says this wave of AI won’t just assist professionals—it will replace many of them, making expert-level knowledge available at little or no cost.

The future of education and medicine might be radically transformed—and sooner than you think.

#BillGates #AIRevolution #FutureOfWork #AIinEducation #AIinHealthcare #TechNews #ArtificialIntelligence #EdTech #HealthTech

Bill Gates has predicted that within the next decade, artificial intelligence (AI) could drastically change the traditional workweek, potentially reducing it to just two or three days.

In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Gates discussed how AI advancements would make intelligence more widely available, especially in sectors like healthcare and education.

With AI handling routine tasks, such as offering medical advice or helping with educational needs, human labor would be freed up for other areas, possibly reshaping the structure of work itself.

He also pointed out that while some professions, such as in sports, would still require human involvement, the shift to AI could lead to a new understanding of work and productivity.

Although this shift is promising, Gates acknowledged that there are uncertainties about the long-term effects of AI, including its impact on job markets and society.

Despite these uncertainties, Gates remains optimistic about the future of AI.

8 important medical tests you should take before marriage

Marriage is a beautiful and lifelong commitment, but before saying “I do,” it is important for couples to undergo important medical tests to ensure a healthy future together.

These tests help in preventing potential health risks, ensuring compatibility, and preparing for a healthy family. Ignoring these screenings could lead to unforeseen medical and genetic challenges. Here are the important medical tests every couple must take.

1. Blood Group and Rhesus Factor Test
Understanding blood compatibility is essential, especially for pregnancy. If a woman with Rh-negative blood type marries an Rh-positive man, their baby may develop Rhesus incompatibility, which can lead to severe health issues.

2. Genotype Compatibility Test
This test is crucial to prevent sickle cell disease. If both partners have the AS, SS, or SC genotype, there is a high chance of giving birth to a child with sickle cell anemia, a painful and lifelong condition. Couples should ensure genotype compatibility before marriage.

3. HIV/AIDS Test,HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a serious disease that affects the immune system. Getting tested before marriage ensures that both partners are aware of their status and can take the necessary precautions to protect their health and that of their future children.

4. Hepatitis B and C Screening
Hepatitis B and C are viral infections that affect the liver and can be transmitted through unprotected sex, blood transfusion, or from mother to child. Early detection can help in managing the disease and preventing transmission.

5. Fertility Test
Many couples face fertility challenges after marriage without prior knowledge of their reproductive health. Testing for sperm count, ovulation status, and hormone levels can help in identifying any potential fertility issues early and finding possible solutions.

6. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) Screening
STIs such as syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes can cause complications if left untreated. They may lead to infertility, pregnancy complications, or transmission to the baby. Screening ensures early detection and treatment.

7. Genetic and Hereditary Diseases Screening

Genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, and Tay-Sachs disease can be passed from parents to children. A genetic screening test helps determine if either partner carries genes for inherited conditions. This makes them plan accordingly.

8. Diabetes and Hypertension Test
Diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension) can affect fertility, pregnancy, and overall health. Checking for these conditions allows couples to manage their health before starting a family.

These important medical tests before marriage are essential for a healthy and happy future. Couples should visit a qualified healthcare provider for these tests and seek professional advice based on the results.
