Beware of Excessive Use of Paracetamol, Lagos Doctor Warns Pilgrims

Pilgrims performing this year’s Hajj have been warned against excessive   in take of pain relief and other unprescribed drugs to prevent possible kidney damage and other health problems.
A member of the Lagos State Medical Team in Mecca, Dr. Abdul Majeeb Isa-Muhammed gave the warning during a health enlightenment programme.
The medical practitioner who condemned the act of abusing drugs, particularly, paracetamol among pilgrims advised that regular consumption of water and fruits is essential to addressing pains associated with dry heat that is being experienced in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia rather than the use of drugs.
Dr. Isa-Muhammed attributed the incessant weakness and pains suffered by the pilgrims to the hot weather which he said drains both water and vital minerals in the body.
He also implored Pilgrims with terminal illnesses to consult the medical doctors among the Lagos contingent regularly.
Speaking further, Dr. Isa- Muhammed discouraged pilgrims living with ulcer and diabetes from taking  orange but  recommend other fruits for their consumption as they will make them stay healthy during and after hajj exercise.
Meanwhile, Honourable Commissioner for Home Affairs, Dr. Abdul Hakeem Abdul Lateef has announced One day pre-movement to Muna prayers for Lagos pilgrims at House Oneon Tuesday, 6thSeptember, 2016; House Two will be on Wednesday, 7th September, 2016 while House Three is scheduled forThursday, 8th September, 2016.

ONE LITTLE GIRL: an interesting story of a shoe Addict

 I find Imelda Marcos story very interesting. Thought of sharing. Enjoy ONE LITTLE GIRL  Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was a beautiful little girl, everyone agreed. She had dark hair, pale skin and almond eyes. And she sang like an angel. Everyone agreed on that too. Until she was 10 our little girl lived in the big city. It was a sprawling, bustling, filthy place. She lived in a hovel. Well, it wasn’t so much a hovel as a rundown garage. And, when the wind blew at night, the doors and shutters creaked and banged and she was very afraid. And every year when the fierce monsoon rains wreaked their vengeance on the earth the floor of the garage flooded and the little girl’s bare feet were cold and wet. One night in a fearsome storm our little girls’ mummy died – “of pneumonia”, they said, but our little girl didn’t understand. And so she and her widowed father and her five brothers and sisters left the garage in the big city and went to live on a tropical ...

How Learning 11 Languages Taught Me 11 Crucial Lessons

How Learning 11 Languages Taught Me 11 Crucial Lessons This article is a wake-up call for all those who dream of becoming multilingual: just do it! Luca Lampariello talks about where he finds the motivation for learning languages, and how he’s learned 11 so far. By Luca Lampariello When people meet someone who speaks many languages fluently, the first reaction is often one of slight bewilderment. Multilingualism is generally considered  cool yet difficult to achieve , especially if second, third and fourth languages are acquired later in life. As an advocate of language learning, I of course agree that it’s cool, but I challenge the assumption that it’s difficult. My name is Luca Lampariello. Here I would like to deviate from the well-trodden route to  how  I learned 11 languages and concentrate on  why  I learned these languages.

DNA DENIAL Georgia man serving life in prison despite DNA evidence of a different killer

DENIAL  Georgia man serving life in prison despite DNA evidence of a different killer By  Jodie Fleischer ,  Brad Schrade , Patti DiVincenzo, Josh Wade February 24, 2016 Devonia Inman, at age 20 when first arrested, and today after serving nearly 18 years in prison for a murder he may not have committed. From the moment he was arrested for murder, Devonia Inman said police had the wrong man. It would take more than a decade behind bars and new DNA testing before he thought he could prove it. But now, Georgia's justice system won't give him that chance. "What do I got to do when we've got DNA evidence that proves I'm not the person who committed this crime?" he asked from inside a small cage at the Georgia State Prison in Reidsville. His lawyers believe the scientific evidence proves another man fatally shot Taco Bell manager Donna Brown in a late night robbery. But in Georgia, DNA isn't always enough for a new trial...
