In Russia, anyone who grows or sells a GMO food is considered a terrorist.

Yes, I am familiar with food chemistry! 🍽 Chemistry is often associated with harmful pesticides, but in reality, we consume various chemicals every day through food. These substances can be essential and beneficial to our health, neutral, or potentially harmful. To manage this, a classification system for food additives was developed in the early 1960s to provide clarity on which additives are safe to use, their assigned numbers, and their acceptable daily intake limits. This classification helps ensure that the chemicals in our food are regulated for safety and health purposes.

HEALTH TALK FOR TODAY – MICROPLASTICS (Please Read & Share) Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that have invaded our environment, food chain, and even our bodies. Let's dive into the health implications: What are microplastics? Microplastics are plastic particles smaller than 5mm. They come from various sources, including: 1. Breakdown of larger plastics 2. Microbeads in cosmetics 3. Synthetic fibers from clothing Health effects: 1. Ingestion and toxicity: Microplastics can be ingested through food and water, potentially causing physical harm, toxicity, and inflammation. 2. Chemical transfer: Microplastics can absorb and transfer chemicals, including pollutants and toxins, into the body. 3. Impact on gut health: Research suggests microplastics may alter gut microbiota and cause inflammation. 4. Potential links to diseases: Some studies suggest potential links to conditions like cancer, reproductive issues, and immune system problems. What can we do? 1. Reduce plastic use: Minimize single-use plastics, opt for reusable bags and containers. 2. Choose eco-friendly products: Select products with natural ingredients and minimal packaging. 3. Support plastic-free initiatives: Encourage policies and practices reducing plastic waste. 4. Stay informed: Follow research and updates on microplastic health impacts. Here are some additional points about microplastics and their effects on human health: Current Research: 1. Studies have found microplastics in human blood, urine, and stool samples. 2. Research suggests microplastics may cause physical harm, toxicity, and inflammation in the body. Potential Health Risks: 1. Cancer concerns: Some studies suggest potential links between microplastic exposure and cancer development. 2. Reproductive issues: Microplastics may affect reproductive health, including fertility and fetal development. 3. Immune system impacts: Microplastics may alter immune system function, potentially increasing susceptibility to infections. Reducing Exposure: 1. Use a water filter: Filter your drinking water to reduce microplastic intake. 2. Avoid heating food in plastic: Heating food in plastic containers may increase microplastic release. 3. Choose natural fibers: Opt for clothing made from natural fibers, which may reduce microplastic shedding. Global Response: 1. Policy changes: Governments and organizations are implementing policies to reduce plastic waste and microplastic pollution. 2. Research initiatives: Scientists are working to better understand microplastic effects on human health and the environment. 3. Individual actions: By making conscious choices, individuals can contribute to reducing plastic waste and microplastic pollution.

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.

When you go to eat in a canteen, you know exactly what food you want but when you are in a buffet with varieties of food where you serve yourself, the problem of what to eat becomes a very serious one. This shows the complexity of human nature

By using these seeds, farmers risk losing their natural plants and farmland; they’re basically signing a lifetime contract with Bill Gates and co. Meanwhile, Nigerians could end up eating chemically laden food, facing rising illnesses like cancer that were once rare here. It’s not too late to stand up against this. This current administration is about to unleash irreversible harm on Nigerians in their quest for foreign aid, acceptance & legitimacy. Once this is done, no one, not even a saint can undo the damage; our lands will be totally destroyed This situation is... We took our time to break it down so you all know the level of mess we are in. This administration is basically selling and placing over 200+ million people's lives in the hands of Bill Gates, a lead campaigner for depopulation!!

Dear Nigerians, ‼️ Please do not joke with this warning. Read & share widely. This is not about politics. Tinubu's relentless foreign aid threatens to plunge Nigeria into its darkest era yet, a pit from which recovery may be impossible. GMOs will fuck us all!! Around June 2024, the Federal Government of Nigeria quietly launched the TELA Maize Variety, a genetically modified organism (GMO) seed allegedly designed to boost maize production in the country, with little to no publicity. The TELA Maize was developed at the Institute of Agricultural Research (IAR) at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, in collaboration with the African Agriculture Technology Foundation (AATF), which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms, are plants, animals, or microorganisms whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Scientists isolate specific genes from one organism and insert them into another to transfer desired traits. For example, scientists can insert genes from a bacterium that naturally produces insect-killing proteins into a crop plant. This modification helps the plant resist pests without requiring chemical insecticides. How will it affect Nigeria? GMOs are like seeds with superpowers; they can harm other living things, such as: - Bees, birds, and butterflies that interact with the plants - Animals like cows, horses, and goats that eat the plants - Nearby plants that grow alongside GMO crops The use of herbicide-resistant GMOs can trigger dangerous ecological changes in Nigeria. One major risk is the rise of herbicide-resistant weeds, which thrive despite chemical control. This disrupts balance in our ecosystem and build a chain reaction and that's just the beginning If bees are harmed, they can't help natural plants grow by spreading pollen. That means animals depending on those plants for food or shelter start to suffer. With their habitats shrinking, they migrate or die off. We could see huge wildlife extinction within a few decades. Health implications: Introducing genes from one food into another can trigger new allergens or unknown effects in the human body. The long-term health impact of GMO foods is still unclear. It’s like being used for experiments without your consent. Just like a fucking Lab rat GMOs have been linked to cancers, allergies, and other health issues partly due to their reliance on toxic pesticides. By harming biodiversity and reducing nutritional diversity, they pose serious risks to both human health and the environment. There has been growing speculation around GMOs in Africa, especially with figures like Bill Gates involved. Many see it as more than just control over Nigeria’s food system; it raises fears of long-term harm to public health and population through toxic, life-altering food. Let’s talk about the economic implications: What is a patent? A patent is the sole right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention. In this context, it means Nigeria can only buy seeds from Bill Gates. From our laws too “Patents and Designs Act Cap 344,” GMO seeds are often patented, meaning a few foreign companies control the seed supply, forcing farmers to buy new seeds every season at higher costs. The result? Farmer dependency, and loss of control over Nigeria’s agriculture & food security to a foreigner, Be worried. Just like our oil was patented, so Nigeria must rely on a few foreign companies to refine it, and we’re seeing the same with our farmlands. GMO patents threaten our food security, leaving food production in the hands of outsiders. Same trap, different sector. GMO seeds are made to resist pests and herbicides. But once planted, they lead to super-strong weeds that won’t die even after spraying herbicides. These “superweeds” are a tough, lasting problem for farmers and the environment. They become herbicide-resistant weeds, plants that survive even after weedkiller sprays. When weeds face the same herbicide over and over, they adapt and build resistance, making them harder to control; they keep spreading, threatening crops and ecosystems. When herbicide-resistant weeds take over farmland, they kill any non-GMO crops planted. This forces Nigerian farmers or the Nigerian state to rely only on patented GMO seeds controlled by foreign companies like those linked to Bill Gates or risk losing their harvest and going hungry. Control over our food supply gives these companies huge power, potentially swaying government decisions just to keep access to GMO seeds. “He who controls a nation’s food chain controls the nation.” This could put Nigeria completely in their pocket. The biggest issue? Market transparency. GMO seed monopolies often hide or don’t label their products, so farmers can’t make informed choices. The Nigerian government already gave them the go-ahead to enter our market. This means many will end up unknowingly buying and planting GMOs

BELIEVE ME ! YOU ARE RICHLY BLESSED. ' YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER. " ' Richness is not measured by the amount of money or number of property you have but by the number of people you are able to touch or inspire with the little you have or your words of encouragement " It really perturbs me when I see some people classifying themselves as poor and as a result, will not have something to offer to the next person you are better off with. No matter your condition, there are people you are better off. Out of the little you have, endeavour to use it to put smiles to the next person. If you have a loaf of bread , share it with someone . If you have ' used " clothes / wears /cars ,etc. don't throw it away , somebody elsewhere may need it. If you have wisdom or acquired excess education, utilize it well , encourage and inspire others and educate the less privileged ones. Your left over foods could be repackaged for other peoples consumption. Don't throw away foods. Learn to give out. The rewards for almsgiving is uncountable. You may not know when, where and how the reward will come. Finally, don't expose or broadcast your charity to attract unnecessary ego. Never expect reward for your kind gesture rather do more and more to touch lives. Just look around you, and listen to yourself , You will see reasons to touch a life Life is worth living Touch a life today, you will be glad you did. BE RICHLY INSPIRED THANKS , Okwara, Louis Ifeanyi
