“As an African leader, when you lie, it becomes a sign of fear. He who lives in Fear shouldn’t be called to lead, because a society led by fear brings no prosperity.

At first, when I started working for the good of Burkina Faso, they sold a propaganda of lies against me that I am working against my people for my own interests.

They wanted me to reply with a counter-propaganda to refuse or play in their own game of lie.

But no, Burkina Faso is on a recovery from over a lifetime of lacking nutrients and all energy is invested in making it grow.

My only response to the propaganda sold against me is to reply with good works and progress for the people of Burkina Faso and Africa.

God bless Africa!”

OSTEOPOROSIS: The Silent Thief

Osteoporosis is often called the “Silent thief”- because it steals bone strength without any warning signs until a fracture occurs.

This condition affects over 200 million people globally, but women bear the greatest burden.

Let’s talk about it👇🏼

3 Things You Should Know About Osteoporosis

1. It develops silently

Osteoporosis doesn’t cause pain or visible symptoms in the early stages.

Your bones just gradually lose density, becoming weak and porous over time- until a bone breaks.

2. 80% of the population affected are women

Women are four times more likely than men to develop osteoporosis.

This is mostly due to loss of estrogen after menopause which accelerates bone loss.

3. It’s the most common cause of bone fractures

Osteoporosis is the leading reason why bones break in older adults, especially at the hip, spine and wrist.

This can happen even from minor falls or sneezing.

WHAT CAUSES OSTEOPOROSIS?

Bone is constantly being broken down and rebuilt.

It is known as bone resorption and formation, where old bones are broken down, and new ones are formed.

Osteoporosis develops when creation of new bone doesn’t keep up with the loss of old bone.

Factors that contribute to this include:

- Low estrogen in women, especially after menopause
- Low testosterone in men
- Inadequate calcium and Vitamin D intake
- Smoking and excessive alcohol
- Physical inactivity and lack of weight bearing exercises
- Chronic diseases like arthritis
- Long term use of corticosteroids and anti-seizure medications.

WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT OSTEOPOROSIS?

Loss of bone mass can be prevented, its progression slowed or even halted altogether.

How do you do this?

- Build strong bones early

The first 30 years of your life are critical for building peak bone mass.

- Eat bone friendly foods ( Calcium, Vitamin D, protein and magnesium rich foods)

- Exercise regularly (Strength training, aerobics and balance exercises)

- Quit smoking and avoid excessive alcohol.

- All women above 65 should get screened for a bone density test.

Younger women at higher risk (like family history) should also consider getting screened.

- Treat the condition when it’s present and accompany it with supplements like Faforon.

I am making progress in life, and in my business.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has made significant progress in its investigation into the Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX) fraud, which defrauded over 600,000 Nigerians of an estimated ₦1.3 trillion.

Key Developments:

Fund Recovery: EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede announced that the commission has recovered a "reasonable amount" of the stolen funds. While the exact figures remain undisclosed due to the ongoing investigation, the recovered assets were primarily held in cryptocurrency wallets, complicating the conversion back to cash .

Arrests and Legal Actions: Several suspects connected to the CBEX scheme have been arrested. Notably, Adefowora Abiodun surrendered to the EFCC in April. Additionally, a federal high court has authorized the arrest and detention of six other CBEX promoters, including Adefowora Oluwanisola, Emmanuel Uko, and Seyi Oloyede .

International Efforts: The EFCC has traced the stolen funds to at least four countries, including European nations and Cambodia. The commission is collaborating with international partners and agencies like Interpol to recover the funds and apprehend suspects who are still at large .

Challenges in Recovery: Due to the use of non-custodial cryptocurrency wallets by the fraudsters, which lack identifiable ownership, the EFCC faces challenges in tracing and converting the digital assets back to fiat currency. The commission acknowledges that full restitution to all victims may not be possible, but efforts are ongoing to recover as much as feasible .


Assurance to Victims:

The EFCC has assured affected investors that it is committed to recovering their funds and bringing the perpetrators to justice. While the recovery process may be complex and time-consuming, the commission emphasizes its dedication to ensuring that victims receive restitution .

For those affected by the CBEX fraud, it is advisable to stay informed through official EFCC channels and cooperate with any ongoing investigations.

I was driving with my wife @nedokuti in the car, on our way somewhere, thinking about how funny life’s excesses can be. I asked her to play a rhythmic pattern on the passenger side dashboard as I started writing the song in my head, and I enjoyed the direction it took. The result is a lively and groovy song with satirical lyrics about how easily we can lose ourselves in our vices. The second verse reflects on this theme and aims towards growth and progress.
“Life As We Know It” short visualiser is also out on YouTube.
