Important reasons to drink lemon water daily. Lemon water is a simple and surprisingly healthy internal cleanser to start your day with. Some resources say that it’s good to have it in warm or even hot water. I suppose in this way you could use it as a healthier replacement for your morning coffee, but I personally prefer it in room temperature filtered water. It’s best to not have it in chilled water though as this can be a bit of a shock to your digestive system when you’ve only just woken up. There are a lot of health benefits associated with fresh lemon water with 12 of the best listed ahead.

1. Fresh lemon water, especially first thing in the morning, can help relieve or prevent digestive problems like bloating, intestinal gas and heartburn and stimulate better digestion in general.
2. Lemons are antiseptic and have a powerful cleansing effect on you liver, kidneys and blood. An overworked liver in particular has an influence on how good you feel so having a simple way to cleanse it each morning can make a big difference to your daily energy over time.
3. Lemon water in the morning is a great way to get a good portion of your essential daily vitamin C. They are also a good source of folate and minerals like potassium, calcium and magnesium.
4. The high mineral content of lemons makes them alkalizing to the body, despite their citric acid. It’s actually not the acid content of a food outside the body that determines whether it will have an acid or alkaline effect, but rather the way it is metabolized during digestion that counts.
5. Lemon water assists in elimination and will help prevent either extremes of constipation or diarrhoea.
6. Drinking lemon water is even said to be good for improving your skin. The high vitamin C content would help here, but the overall cleansing, detoxifying, antibiotic and antioxidant effects are likely to be even more important.
7. Limonoid glucosides are an interesting flavonoid compound present in lemons that some research has shown may have anti-carcinogenic properties.
8. Lemon water helps your liver to produce more bile to aid in the digestion of fats. This makes them particularly beneficial if you’re planning a big breakfast fry up after a heavy night.
9. The antibacterial properties of lemon can help in curing a throat infection. If you have a sore throat you could make a warm lemon drink to sip every couple of hours. That said,If you are having lemon water every morning you’re probably unlikely to get one in the first place.

HEALTH: WHAT IS HPV INFECTION? SYMPTOMS AND CAUSES

WHAT IS HPV INFECTION? SYMPTOMS AND CAUSES.

 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), HPV (Human Papillomavirus) Infection is the most common
sexually transmitted infection that affects both men and women. Up to 80 percent of sexually active adults will get an HPV infection of the genital area at some point in their lives.
Most people get HPV through direct sex contact or oral sex. Non-sexual transmission of the virus is also possible.
Researchers found that the virus is resistant to glutaraldehyde which means that medical instruments that are considered sterile may also serve as medium for HPV transmission ( 1 ).
HPV INFECTION – SYMPTOMS
While most people don’t have symptoms from HPV, some will develop warts, or papillomas.
Genital warts usually appear as a small bump or group of bumps. They appear mostly on the vulva but can also occur near the anus, on the cervix or in the vagina. In men, genital warts appear on the penis and scrotum or around the anus ( 2 ).
They can be small or large, raised or flat, or shaped like a cauliflower. A healthcare provider can usually diagnose warts by looking at the genital area.
Many people who get genital HPV will clear it without treatment and no health problems will occur. The longer the virus is in the body, however, the higher your risk of developing health problems.
According to the CDC, HPV infection can cause cervical, vaginal and vulvar cancers in women and penile cancer in men. Anal cancer can also be caused by HPV in both men and women.
HPV is particularly linked with cervical cancer . In fact, it is the only known cause of cervical cancer in women.
TESTING FOR HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS INFECTION
Regular Pap tests help to identify abnormal cells in women. The main purpose of screening with the Pap test is to detect abnormal cells that may develop into cancer if left untreated.
The Pap test can also find noncancerous conditions, such as infections and inflammation. It can also find cancer cells. In regularly screened populations, however, the Pap test identifies most abnormal cells before they become cancer.
Important: If you or your child has warts of any kind that cause embarrassment, discomfort or pain, seek advice from your doctor.

10 TOXIC FOODS MADE IN CHINA THAT ARE FILLED WITH PLASTIC, PESTICIDES AND CANCER CAUSING CHEMICALS

10 TOXIC FOODS MADE IN CHINA THAT ARE FILLED WITH PLASTIC, PESTICIDES AND CANCER CAUSING CHEMICALS

Many parts of China are actually known for their fine cuisine, but its food industry has taken a lot of heat lately for its troubling lack of standards.
This country is using their innovative methods to make cheap technology products, toys and other consumer products and applying that mindset to food, which is absolutely dangerous.

10 TOXIC FOODS MADE IN CHINA

TILAPIA FISH
Tilapia fish is commonly farmed in China. This is the worst kind of fish you can find on the shelves on the market.

Read also: Stop Eating Tilapia ASAP Before It’s Too Late
Tilapia fish eats almost anything and it is usually farmed in pools full of waste water.

COD FISHCod is another type of fish that is fish farmed in China. More than 50 percent of tilapia fish in the USA comes from this country.

CHINESE APPLE JUICE
More than 50% of the apple juice in the US originates from China. China is known to be the country that creates the greatest number of pesticides in the world, and it is not put on the labels.
Avoid buying this juice and drink only natural, homemade juice bought from a local farm.

PROCESSED MUSHROOMS
Considering the fact that 34 percent of the mushrooms in the USA come from China, be very careful when you buy this product. Do your best to know your source, buy local and true organic.

CHINESE GARLIC
31% of Garlic sold in the US is from China. Toxic garlic has been found to be overwhelmed with chemicals and that is what it gives it its bad aftertaste
CHICKEN
China is a country that produces more pesticides than any other country in the world, which is also pretty much polluted, and thus the quality of the chicken should be questioned really well.

PLASTIC RICE
It is believed that it is made from potatoes and a fake sythetic resin. When boiled the rice stays hard and doesn’t cook like regular rice.
Consuming this rice for longer time can have serious consequences to your health.

MUD (SOLD AS BLACK PEPPER)
Some manufacturers in China have been collecting mud and selling it as black pepper and also took flour and sold it as white pepper.

INDUSTRIAL SALTThe industrial salt is not made for consumption, and despite this, it is still being sold as table salt for some time.
The consequences of this industrial salt consumption are issues with the physical and the mental health, as well as with the thyroid.

GREEN PEAS
China has been exporting fake green peas. These peas have been made of soy beans, snow peas, green color and sodium metabisulfite. The green color is cancerous and when boiled, paint the water unnaturally ggreen

Former First Lady Patience Jonathan’s bank accounts containing $19,871.307.96 have been frozen, The Nation learnt yesterday.
The cash is part of the $22.3 million found in the accounts.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has also established a prima facie case of money laundering against the ex-First Lady and 10 others.
The 11 suspects may face trial for alleged money laundering if the recommendation of the investigative team is upheld.
The EFCC declared that “preliminary investigation has also indicted Mrs. Patience Jonathan”.
The 10 suspects indicted in the investigation are a former Senior Special Assistant (Domestic/Household and Social Events to the former President), Dr. Dudafa Waripamo-Owei Emmanuel; Damola Bolodeoku; Dipo Oshodi; Theodora Varinik; Pluto Property and Investment Company Limited; Seagate Property Development and Investment Limited; Globus Integrated Services Limited; Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Limited and Skye Bank Plc.
The 10th suspect, Sompre Omiebi, is said to be on the run.
The mobile phones recovered from most of the suspects have revealed how the slush funds were wired.
Mrs. Jonathan has sued Skye Bank, claiming ownership of the accounts.
She is asking for N200 million damages from the bank in addition to demanding that the lid on the accounts be lifted.
The Nation stumbled on a report on the investigation. It states: “Based on the investigation so far carried out, the four fraudulent VISA Platinum USD card accounts used by Mrs. Patience Goodluck Jonathan has a cumulative balance of $14,029,881.79 which has been swept Post No Debit Card category.
“Again, her personal account, different from the four fraudulent VISA Platinum USD Card accounts, bears the balance of $5,841,426.17.
“Considering the above-stated findings, we can safely conclude that a prima facie case of conspiracy to retain proceeds of unlawful activities, retention of the proceeds of unlawful activities, money laundering, contrary to Section 15(3) and 18(a) of the Money Laundering ( Prohibition) (Amendment) Act, 2012 and forgery contrary to Section 1(2) (c) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act, Cap M17, Laws of the Federation, 2004 have been established against the aforementioned suspects.”

Get Help Worldwide is one of the World’s most organized Mutual Aid / Crowd Funding / Donation Exchange / Social Financial Platform, Programmed to last forever with innovative features. Some of the features will be listed and elaborated as we proceed.

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

So many of us are yet to understand the ideology behind Crowd Funding Programs, while others are busy setting themselves up through Crowd Funding communities like Get Help Worldwide. Across the Globe, Crowd Funding has become a major means of raising money among individuals and a lot of successful Companies/Businesses have been set up via Crowd Funding.

What Is Get Help Worldwide All About?

It is simply an online Community where people are helping each other Financially Directly with No Third Parties Involved, whatever Help you give to someone financially grows by 30% if in Local currency or 50% if in Bitcoin in 30 days. In Get Help Worldwide you are not required to pay any money for registration i.e. Registration is FREE, there is NO CENTRAL ACCOUNT where people are required to pay money to. All you have to do is to make a Pledge of an amount you wish to Provide as Help in the Community, you remain with your money and wait patiently till you are Paired with another Participant who needs the help you are offering then you give the help directly to that Participant with no third party involved. The same why on the 30th day when you request for help from the community, you will be paired with another participant in the community who pays directly to you. Example. You give help of 1,000 to a Participant, on the 30th day you receive help of 1,300 if help was given in your local currency or 1,500 if help was given in Bitcoin.

Sustainability

Will Get Help Worldwide Last? This question will be answered clearly with features that will blow your mind. YES, GET HELP WORLDWIDE WILL LAST FOREVER, before I proceed to telling you why it will last forever, I will like to take you back to what a community like this is all about. A Mutual Aid/Crowd Funding Community is NOT (1.) A Business (2.) A Loan (3.) A Networking Business (Where you must invite someone to join before you make money), All three (3) mentioned above are not what we are talking about here. Mutual Aid / Crowd Funding Community is a Community that depends on its Participants to last forever. To last forever, all participants have to be active knowing fully well that they will make 30% or 50% every 30days. Most Mutual Aid Platforms fail after few years because there were no Rules to guide people in the Platform. Let me give you a clear example: In a platform like MMM, One can Provide Help of 1,000,000 naira and in 30day Get Help of 1,300,000. The same person can decide to give 10,000 in his next offer (After he has taken out 300,000 naira from the Community) in some cases he might not offer any other help but will keep enjoying his registration Bonuses every Month. Note that when you are taking out money from the Community without contributing anymore from your end, you are making the community to shake because you are getting peoples donation without giving any donation (It starts becoming a One Sided platform and as many others follow that Part, The Platform Stands Still with no one to pay those who offered Help).

Another way some communities like this close or stop functioning is when some Rich Dude Throws in Huge Millions like 300million into the system and then cashes 390million and he never participates anymore, all who donated will be left with no one to pay them. These things happen because there are no Rules. In some platforms they have what they call guiders who do little or nothing but keep cashing huge cash every 30 days. A Guider can give help of 100,000 naira and in 30days cash or 4million, the same Guider will offer another help of 100,000 or 10,000 knowing fully well that he will still get another 3 to 4million in 30 days this makes the system unbalanced because all that cash can be donated to someone who needs help. Gaining too much and giving too little knowing fully well that this is neither an Investment of any sort nor a Business. This is meant to be a Platform for people to help one another for goodness sake.

Get Help Worldwide will last forever for the following reasons;

1. NO Guiders: No unnecessary Huge cash is cashed out by participants in the name of Guider. They believe that anyone who invited you to the community guides you through till you can navigate through the website all by yourself. This saves good cash for the participants in the community.

2. Re-Commitment: All Modern Mutual Aid Platforms have adopted this Re-commitment Pattern, this makes it Last forever. This is a Community of active people, any account with no active Pledge / Request to Provide Help is blocked on the 3rd day of being idle. Communities like this last for ever as long as everyone keeps participating. If you are no longer participating, your account will be blockedon the 3rd day of being idle. This is to stop people from being idle and busy cashing out their referrals bonuses. They believe its better you leave the community and loose uncashed referral bonuses than to remain idle in the community and busy cashing out money when you are not participating anymore.

All users have Profile Pictures so you will see picture of who you are donating to, this creates a pure social atmosphere and gives you rest of mind that you are actually helping a fellow Human being.

3. Credibility Score: All accounts has an Activity Check which starts at 100% and grows or reduces depending on your activity on the platform. Anytime the Credibility Score Drops to 0% your account will be blocked. When you are paired to pay someone, if you plead for the other party to extend time for you when you are not able to meet up with making payment within the 48hrs given, Once the other Participant Extends your time by 48hrs, you will loose 25% of your Credibility Score. If you place and offer to give 10,000 or any amount for instance and decide to cancel it to change the figure by placing another amount, you will loose 5% of your Credibility Score immediately you cancel an already placed offer.

4. No Cheating/Trying to be smart: There is no Room for anyone to throw in Huge cash, the Maximum Help to give is 2million naira. I was amazed when I saw this feature because everyone is supposed to participate with spare money Huge Millions are not Spare money, some cheats tend to throw in huge cash in Hundreds of millions at once and when they cash out they don’t participate anymore not knowing they have destabilized the Community(They See it as a Business Opportunity to make millions in 30days). Get Help Worldwide Blocked that by setting a limit for amount of help to provide. A lot of Mutual Aid platforms closed as a result of this but it has been controlled on Get Help Worldwide by setting the Provide Help limit to 2million for local currency. Think for few seconds what will happen in MMM Nigeria when someone gives help of 200,000,000 million and in 30days when he requests for Help, almost the whole community donates to him to make up the 260,000,000 million he requested and the man refuses to participate anymore, at this point people who need help will be more than those providing help and the community stands STILL, this is how MMM in most Countries stopped functioning. Allow that to sink in a bit, Have you seen why a Provide Help limit has been set to 2million by Get Help Worldwide? Have you seen what Get Help Worldwide mean when they say they are programmed to last forever?.

5. Community Growth: They believe that when everyone is growing, it should keep growing with no one trying to be smart or taking the community backwards so they implemented Minimum Offer Balance. Here is how it works, If you offer to Provide Help of 10,000 and on the 30thday you receive 13,000 which is your money + 30%, when you want to make your next offer you will not be able to place any offer less than 10,000 you will either repeat same amount as your last offer or increase it if you want. Let’s say you increased it to 1,000,000 and on the 30th day, you received 1,300,000 you have earned 300,000 from the Community which means you are growing as well. Your next Provide Help Offer will not allow you Provide anything less than your last offer which is 1million. So your last offers automatically becomes your Minimum Offer Balance. This solves the Problem of one who like 1million and gets 1.3million and then resorts to giving help of 10,000 because he knows he has a lot of referral Bonuses.

You might not understand why all these laws are placed till I show you some facts. For Example; If you have an empty space with no rules guiding it, one day you will visit the space and notice that some have turned the space into a urinary or some might even bring their mattress, stove and all sorts to mess up the place. Reason being because there are no strict laws in the Space. This is exactly what has happened to MMM in many Countries; MMM is a wonderful platform, It was created with Good Intentions but people go in there and mess it all up.

6. Security: The Website is SSL Protected (https), it is also hacker proof. Once your Bank Account Details/ Bitcoin details are entered once, they stay there permanently cannot be changed by anyone including you. To change you need to contact support. So if anyone stills your password to wait in the maturity of your money he will grow old waiting because he cannot change the receiving account.

Ready to register?

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER, give help, get your referral link and invite as many people as you like too! And the big one, earn 30% or 50% of whatever you offer after 30days!

EFCC recovers N46 Billion from oil marketers

EFCC recovers N46 Billion from oil marketers

Oil marketers have refunded N46 billion in a probe of massive fraud in the sector.

It is all part of the ongoing probe of the rot in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, an Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) source said on Monday.

The marketers, who are not named because “the investigation is yet to be concluded”, lifted products without paying a dime to the defunct Petroleum Products and Marketing Company (PPMC), a subsidiary of the NNPC now known as the National Petroleum Marketing Company(NPMC).

The anti-graft agency busted the fraud after going through the company’s records.

A top source in EFCC, who spoke in confidence with our correspondent, claimed that some of the marketers conspired with some staff of PPMC and NNPC to perpetrate the fraud.

The source said: “When we conducted our investigation, we discovered that the affected marketers sourced products from NNPC through PPMC without paying for them.

“In some instances, these marketers got two or three supplies and paid for one. Through connivance, they cooked the books.

“We discovered that products worth about N100billion were lifted and unpaid for by marketers leading to the invitation and interaction with some of them.

“So far, we have been able to recover N46billion out of the N100billion which the nation had purportedly lost.”

The source expressed concern that the some forces within and outside NNPC and PPMC behind the syndicate almost frustrated the EFCC team probing the “fraud”.

“The cartel wielded enormous influence in the sector and it almost frustrated the investigation and the recovery. As a matter of fact, some forces in NNPC and PPMC did not want us to go this far.

In spite of the liberalisation of the process of obtaining foreign exchange, most marketers still rely on the NNPC for their supplies.

Our correspondent’s was unsuccessful in getting the response of the Managing Director of NPMC( former PPMC), Mr. Farouk Ahmed, to the recovery made by EFCC.

Apart from calls, a text message was sent to Ahmed.

He did not acknowledge the calls and the text message.

The EFCC in April quizzed a former Managing Director of PPMC over some transactions and alleged purchase of houses valued at N1.3 billion off Amazon in Maitama, Asokoro and Wuse districts in Abuja.

The petitioners alleged that the ex-MD acquired the houses in less than six months in office.

An ex-Officio member of the Kaduna chapter of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association (IPMAN), Bako Abdullahi Yelwa, had in February alleged that a cabal had been at work in PPMC.

He said: ”PPMC members of staff are frustrating Independent Marketers. Why will they ask for a percentage of our profit before giving us allocation? And when we refuse, they frustrate the process of getting our allocation. They only give product allocation to marketers that have given them a share of their profit upfront.

“For example, an Independent marketer gets an average of two allocations of Petrol (PMS) monthly and the profit from each truck is 80 thousand Naira. How can 160 thousand naira pay all my staff, service and maintain the stations and still keep me in business?”

Foreign: UK waiting for Nigeria to recover $85million Dan Etete’s loot

UK waiting for Nigeria to recover $85million Dan Etete’s loot

The United Kingdom is waiting for Nigeria to claim an $85million loot recovered from a former petroleum minister, Dan Etete, according to the Evening Standard of London.

The newspaper reported that federal government’s failure to send a proceeds-of-crime submission to the judge of a UK court is stalling the recovery of the money which is frozen in a NatWest bank account in London.

Federal government officials could not be reached last night for their reaction.

The situation has left the funds ‘frozen’ and the court case ‘languishing’, the newspaper said.

The $85m is believed to be part of the proceeds from the award of the licence of OPL245 – an oilfield containing an estimated nine billion barrels of crude – made by Etete to Malabu Oil & Gas, for $20 million, said to be a tiny fraction of its real value.

The licence award sparked a multitude of legal suits between Shell and Malabu over the ownership of the field only for the federal government to sell the field to Eni and Shell.

$1.09 billion of the money paid by the two companies later found its way to Malabu.

Shell and Eni claimed ignorance of who paid the $1.09billion to Malabu.

The newspaper said investigators at Britain’s National Crime Agency who are trying to probe the alleged laundering of OPL245 money through London banks and properties are frustrated by alleged inaction from Nigeria’s end.

“Last week, the two governments agreed criminal assets stolen in Nigeria and seized in Britain can be returned to the West African country, but such breakthroughs are rare,” it said.

“Buhari’s governing style is also a source of frustration. Critics say he is slow in his decision-making, which allows the EFCC to wallow in indecision.

“Buhari’s critics say his approach means that much-needed funds from corruption cases are not bringing in revenue for an ailing economy ravaged by low oil prices, and the oil blocks themselves are not being developed.”

The Malabu Oil deal is believed to have led to the siphoning of $1 billion from a $1.3 billion international investment in the lucrative oil block through ‘fees’ to Etete’s company and middlemen.

High Court Judge Mr. Justice Edis said: “Given the large sums of money involved that are effectively paid to a former minister to a bank account in the Middle East, the whole exercise is backed by murky instructions.”

MMM: Nigerians ignore SEC’s warning on online financial investment scheme

MMM: Nigerians ignore SEC’s warning on online financial investment scheme

Weeks after the Nigerian Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) warned the general public against falling prey to an online investment scheme tagged, “MMM Federal Republic of Nigeria,” many people remain immovable in their quest for its breadth-taking gains.

In a survey by The Guardian, most of the respondents, who were mostly students of tertiary institutions, described the scheme as a less-risky venture, which if successful, leaves participants smiling.

The MMM, according to information on its website, is a trending financial scheme which promises to create a community of people providing financial help to one another on the principle of gratuitousness, reciprocity and benevolence. Registered members help each other by providing a certain sum of money (as ordered by the operators of the scheme) and such paid amount is expected to yield a 30 per cent increase at the end of the month.

At any month end, members could withdraw their invested amount as well as the added interest through a similar means of being paid by another participant. By operation, the scheme, which platform is Nigeria.mmm.net, has no central system or account.
However, SEC, in a recent statement on its website, disclosed that the system was a ponzi scheme, alleging that the facilitators were online fraudsters who promise high rates of return with little risk to investors.

It added: “The platform has embarked on aggressive online media campaign to lure the investing public to participate in what it called ‘mutual aid and financial network’ with a monthly investment return of 30 per cent.

“The operation of this investment scheme has no tangible business model, hence it is a ponzi scheme where returns are paid from other people’s invested sum. Its operation is not registered by the commission.”

It advised the public to shun the scheme.

But The Guardian survey revealed that virtually all participants in the scheme have benefited from it, thus making it very difficult for them to quit despite the red alert of SEC.

One of the participants, Ata Efe, who was apparently marketing the scheme, told The Guardian that she reaped N73,000 (30 per cent interest and extra membership bonus) having invested N50,000 in her trial month. She said many of her friends had been participating in it, adding that one of them recently acquired a N1.2 million plot of land through the scheme.

Maryjane Okojie, another resident in Asaba, acknowledged the warning of SEC but dispelled any possibility of quitting the scheme, which has given her a cumulative gain of N200,000.

She said: “I suspect that this may turn out to be a scam someday, but with the current economic situation, I cannot stop investing until the system crashes.”

The gains of the scheme may not be the only reason for participants not heeding the fraud alert of SEC, as some religious leaders are allegedly canvassing support for it.

One of the respondents in the survey, a fresh Mass Communication graduate of Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-uku, disclosed that a clergyman in one of the orthodox churches in the town (names withheld), advises youths in the church to make savings and invest them in the MMM scheme.

WARNING!!! STOP EATING TILAPIA FISH BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE (READ WHY)

Fish is a high-protein, low-fat food that provides a range of health benefits. … Since the human body can’t make significant amounts of these essential nutrients, fish are an important part of the diet. Fish is rich in Omega 3; that is beneficial for decreasing cholesterol levels in our body. These facts are not true for all kind of fish.

A fish known as Tilapia is remarkably different from all other fish that you choose to eat. Farm-raised tilapia has always been a popular source for fish, not only because it’s widely available, but it’s also very inexpensive. However, before you stock up on tilapia, you may want to know about its correlation to inflammation.
Recent studies have concluded that eating tilapia may worsen inflammation that can lead to heart disease, arthritis, asthma and a world of other serious health problems. Tilapia is a white colored fish that does not cost much to breed.
It is widely sold due to its low cost. It has a mild taste, and you can cook it following very easy recipes. It is boneless and lacks a skin covering. Many people find this fish delicious and enjoy eating it. Nevertheless, serious issues are associated with consumption of Tilapia fish. Most of the times, it is not bred in natural and hygienic habitats.
Tilapia are mainly freshwater fish inhabiting shallow streams, ponds, rivers and lakes and less commonly found living in brackish water. However, the larger species are often raised in aquariums as a food source, because they grow rapidly and tolerate high stocking densities and poor water quality.
The fish help purify the water by consuming vegetation and detritus, greatly reducing purification costs. The Tilapia selling in the markets has ingested unhygienic food and absorbed a significant amount of fertilizers that are harmful to animals and humans.
Tilapia, the third most consumed fish in America, is under fire. Increasingly, this fish is grown in China and bad farming practices, some experts argue, are causing the food to suffer nutritionally (some have even called the fish as “bad for you as bacon”).
Think carefully, what kind of fish to include in your diet. Including a dish full of chemical and carcinogens can pose a big threat to your health. You must remove Tilapia from your diet chart as it has no nutritious benefit as compared to the great harm it does to your body.

Just In:EFCC Driver, Police Corporal Arrested for Robbery

EFCC Driver, Police Corporal Arrested for Robbery.

A driver working for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Nasiru Isa, a police corporal and several others have been arrested for offences bordering on criminal breach of trust, attempted theft, conspiracy and impersonation.
EFCC Spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said “the driver, who joined the Commission about 18 months ago, is a member of a criminal syndicate that attempted to break into a sealed property by the EFCC, with the intent of carting away goods suspected to be proceeds of money laundering.
“The syndicate includes a mobile police officer, Corporal Aliyu Ismaila, Abubakar Jibrin, Abdulsalam Ado, Ibrahim Babangida, Reuben Dauda, Hassan Aliyu, Sani Yusuf and Murtala Mohammed.
“Located in the choice area of Garki, Abuja, the property is currently under investigation by the agency, and became a subject of interest, in the aftermath of findings into the N3.9 billion fraud case involving a former Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh (retd). The property was also linked to the wife of the former CDS.”
Shortly after the property was sealed, some individuals moved about 12 bags believed to contain items linked to money laundering offence, into the property.
“On August 30, 2016 operatives of the EFCC as part of monitoring activities on the sealed property, had gone to site to execute a search. However, members of the syndicate took to their heels on sighting the operatives of the anti-graft agency. A carpenter, Yakubu Muhammad, who was hired by the syndicate was left behind and was subsequently arrested by the operatives.
“The carpenter, who has been cooperating with operatives, confessed that he was not in the know of the illicit activity, as he was only brought in by the syndicate to assist with the use of his carpentry tools to break into the property,” Uwujaren explained.

Learn The Effective 3 Ways to Build Your Evangelism Muscles

Have you ever tried to share the gospel of Christ to a friend or family member – but stopped short because you didn’t feel confident enough to share it? If you’ve ever experienced this, then you’ve got to develop your evangelism skills.
Your skill and aptitude in sharing the gospel, which I will refer to as “evangelism muscles,” need to be built up so that you will be more confident and effective in sharing the gospel with anyone you meet. Just like how a person’s physical strength and endurance grow with the development and building of his muscles, a Christian’s ability to effectively share the good news of Christ gets better the more the Christian builds himself in it and then shares it.
Take for example the believers in the book of Acts. Some of them were unschooled and untrained yet they were able to shake the world with the good news of salvation in Christ.
Peter, your average neighbourhood fisherman, preached just once but through that the Lord added thousands in the number of believers in just one day! If Peter was able to do that with the Lord’s help, then we should feel confident that we can share the gospel effectively, too.
Do you desire to build your evangelism muscles up? Here are some ways to build them up, like a bodybuilder builds his muscles.
1. Get proper nutrition
When a person wants to build his muscles, he has to have the right diet loaded with proteins and carbs. If you want to build your evangelism muscles, then you’ve got to load yourself up on the truths of the gospel of Christ. You can’t read an entertainment magazine or a self-help psychology book, go into a TV marathon of your favourite superhero movies and then share information to a person – and expect that person to be saved.
Feed yourself with the gospel truth, and with a growing relationship with the Holy Spirit. Read the gospels, the whole New Testament (especially Paul’s epistles), and pray in the Spirit always. Load up!

2. Lift weights
Lifting weights are necessary to beef up your muscles, especially the biceps, triceps and other parts of the body. In the same way, you’ve got to carry your cross – the people to whom you should relentlessly share the gospel to.
The Bible tells us that Christ carried our sins upon Himself so that He could atone for them (read Isaiah 53). In the same way, you’ve got to have a burden in your heart – you need to have the heart for the salvation of others. If you don’t see the need for them to be saved by Christ, chances are is that you won’t be sharing the gospel to anyone, even your loved ones.

3. Keep exercising
Bodybuilders know that they need to maintain their fitness and exercise routines to keep their muscles in tip-top shape, or else they will become fat and lose those ripped abs and shoulders. In the same way, the best way for you to maintain those evangelism muscles is to keep sharing the gospel to others.
Share the goodness of God to your mom, dad and siblings. Share the truth of the gospel to your friends, co-workers, peers and everyone you know. Disciple people and remind them about the truths of Christ’s atoning death and resurrection.
You’ll be surprised at how your evangelism muscles remain firm, fit and strong when you couple constant obedience to the great commission, and a growing relationship with God.

Teachings: Handling Sexual Perversion (1) by Pastor Faith Oyedepo

Handling Sexual Perversion (1)
by Pastor Faith Oyedepo.

Pastor Faith Oyedepo

What is perversion?
Perversion is a derogatory term for deviation from the original meaning or doctrine, literally 'turning aside' from what is perceived to be normal. This week, I shall be showing you one of the sexual perversions of ‘Fornication and Pre-marital sex’
I have been able to define perversion from my introduction, what then is fornication’ The dictionary meaning of the Word “fornication” means any unlawful sexual intercourse between two unmarried man and unmarried woman. In the Bible, the Greek definition of the word “fornication” means to commit illicit sexual intercourse.
Fornication is no longer regarded as sin in our society today. It has become a way of life in the society. Permit me to say, that the sin of fornication is even more pronounced in the church of God today than anywhere else in the world. As a Christian, your body has been bought with a price, it is not meant for fornication, rather, your body is meant to glorify God. The Word of God says, “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against hisownbody. What’ know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own ’For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthians 6:18-20).
Young ladies don’t keep messing up your lives about with men because of the money they offer you. Your beauty is not meant for trading, after all, God gave you and the giver can call you back anytime. Refuse to sell your body for money for your soul is more precious! You may say I have to do something to be able to keep up with the cost of things, your life is much more valuable than money. You may be a fornicator and still go to church sing, clap and dance. When they say lift up holy hands and lets worship the Lord, and you lift up your hand too, it is not your kind of hands they are talking about. The Word of God says, “Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD’ or who shall stand in his holy place’ He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully (Psalm 24:3-4).
Some even claim, after all, we are going to marry, so why can’t we go on the same bed’ God knows that we are going to get marred, but more often than not, you know what happens’ After they have seen your nakedness, the interest is no longer there. The love is gone and I tell people all the time, more often than not, it is the lady that carries more of the shame. Because, now, that the man has seen your nakedness, he can now say, I’m sorry sister, in fact God didn’t give me the leading, I have made a mistake, now go your way and let me go my way, God will give you your husband, he will also give me my own wife. Why’ Because you have sold yourself out to him and there is nothing new anymore.
Marriage is honourable and the bed undefiled. For you to have the honuor in your marriage as a single, you must lay a good foundation by keeping yourself pure. Parents, begin to teach your children before they get into the stage of committing the atrocities. Because even if they say, after doing it, I will ask God for forgiveness, God will forgive you, yes, but you know when you sustain an injury, it is possible for the wound to heal, but the scar will be there forever.

Pre-marital sex
When we talk of Pre-marital sex, it simply means, sex before marriage. Many couples live together before marriage to see if they are capable of child bearing engaging themselves in pre-marital sex. Many end up messing themselves up by engaging themselves in the works of the flesh. The Word of God lists the various work of the flesh; “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21).
Marriage was designed to bring honour to man and when the bed is defiled, the honour is taken away. If you are in courtship, you are not permitted to engage in sexual relationship or anything that leads to it, if you do that, you are committing fornication and you are defiling your marriage bed thereby taking away the honour in your marriage. The marriage bed is for the married only. To engage in sexual intercourse as a single is a sin against your own conscience and against God. Defiling the marriage bed as a single is the quickest route to shame in marriage, whether you are marrying the person involved or not.
If you are still single, steer clear of sex till you are legally married. The Bible enjoins singles to present their bodies as a living sacrifice unto the Lord, “beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” (Romans 12:1). In other words, the presentation of your body unto the almighty God as a living sacrifice is your reasonable service unto God. Any other service that you do unto God outside of your body being a living sacrifice is not acceptable. It doesn’t matter whether you sweep the church every day as long as your body is not kept pure, that service is not acceptable unto God.

It doesn’t matter, the volume of money you bring to the church, when you defiled the marriage bed, whether as a single lady or man or as a married man or whatever category you belong to, when you get into illicit sexual relationship, whatever service you render to God has no record and will never receive a reward. You may be in the choir and your voice is as sweet as honey, when you stand there, God’s eyes are not beholding you. Because, if the eyes of God behold you at all, it might be for judgment. It doesn’t matter the post you hold or your position. You can even be the leader of any board in the church, Romans chapter 12 verse 1, is still in the Word of God. Until your body is presented to God as a reasonable service, every other service that you render is unreasonable.

In conclusion, incase you are reading this article and you know that you are not born again, you may be a member of a church, the question there is, are you born again’ If not, you can say this simple prayer of faith and you shall be born again!” Dear Lord Jesus, I come to You today as a sinner. I believe You died for my sins and rose on the third day. Forgive me my sins. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Make me a child of God today”.
