Plantains are a staple in many tropical cultures, such as the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. They are also found in certain African, Asian, and Indian cuisines. In appearance, plantains resemble bananas but are larger in size, harder to peel, and less sweet than you might expect.

The overall public debt is the total debt accrued by federal, states, and the FCT from local and international lenders.
Of the N33.1 trillion, the federal government alone borrowed N26.91 trillion — this includes the FGN bonds, Sukuk, green bonds and Euro bonds.
Finally, after weeks of data aggregation, number crunching, dissecting and analyses of freedom of information (FOI) response from the Debt Management Office (DMO), TheCable presents findings that highlight how Nigeria’s aggressive borrowing defies its fiscal responsibility laws.
The analyses also include data from the DMO, National Bureau of Statistical (NBS), and fiscal papers from the Budget Office of the Federation.
Aproject of the Council on Foreign Relations’ Africa program, Nigeria Security Tracker (NST), says there has been reported 5,800 deaths, while 2,943 people were kidnapped in the first half of 2021 in Nigeria
According to the NST, the data revealed that kidnappers who are bandits, Boko Haram terrorists, killer Fulani herders and ritualists averagely killed 32 persons per day while they abducted 17 people per day between January and June this year.
This was revealed at the weekend by a data consulting firm, StatiSense stating that the Northern Nigeria recorded 4,490 deaths, while the Southern part of the country had 1,310.
The data gave a monthly breakdown of the sad occurrences with May recording the highest number of deaths at 1,045, April had 1,032 and June with 1,011. Others are 958, 879 and 875 for January, February and March respectively.

Dr. Mataji Havaldar: “In Nigeria, joint diseases are still treated with outdated and ineffective drugs that must be taken by the patient throughout all their life. While in India, treating joint problems is as simple as curing the common cold.”Last year Mataji Havaldar traveled to Nigeria to study the experience of the country’s medics. He was disheartened by what he saw. According to the Doctor, the area of rheumatology in Nigeria is in such a state that it’s like it’s stuck in the middle of the previous century. After making several high-profile speeches at the conference, Dr. Mataji Havaldar agreed to give us an interview. What was it about Nigerian medicine that displeased the Doctor so much? And why does he claim that the citizens of our country with sore joints will never be cured of their ailments?– Speaking to indian journalists, you said that what you saw in Nigeria shocked you. Could you elaborate?– Before we get into that, let me just say that I have a great respect for your country, your culture and people. But I fully understand why my indian colleagues are, hm, puzzled by the state of your medical sphere. After all, it’s lagging 20 or even 30 years behind the rest of Europe. And it’s nowhere as noticeable as when it comes to the treatment of diseases of the joints and the musculoskeletal system. You can say that rheumatology simply doesn’t exist in Nigeria.What your doctors prescribe to treat joints and cartilages MERELY RELIEVES THE SYMPTOMS of the disease – pain, inflammation, edema. Now imagine what goes on inside the body. When a person takes this pill, applies this gel or makes this injection, the pain goes away. But as soon as the remedy stops working, the pain immediately returns.
crystalsOrtho-salt growths on the surfaces of the joint are the root cause of all pathologiesHuman joints are actually very regenerative, they know how to quickly recover, like a lizard’s tail. You just need to help them a little – free them from orth-salts that “cling” to them and then the body will do the rest on its own.Back in the 90s, indian scientists managed to obtain a special form of quasi-vitamin B, the so-called alpha-arthropherol. It is obtained by synthesising natural ingredients: extract of maral antlers, snake venom, shark fat plus a set of more than 50 different extracts. The extract of maral antlers is the substance that is responsible for the active growth of animals’ horns. In other words, it’s main task is to create new bone tissue. Can you imagine the biological power of such a mechanism? There is nothing more effective in nature for activating blood circulation in human bones and joints.
Economics teaches that we should always try to get better results with as little resources as possible. Now, what if I tell you there’s a way to save cooking gas, money, and time by just adding one ingredient while cooking?
Non-leafy vegetables, such as onions, fall into this category. They are a member of the Allium genus, which also includes garlic. Onions are known for their distinct aroma, which is why they are frequently in high demand because they are used to make foods taste and smell good.
The benefit of onions to foods goes beyond their pleasant aroma. This article will teach you how to use onions economically to save money and cooking gas, which is especially important now that the price of cooking gas seems to be steadily rising.

There is an agreement that there is lack of effective, purposeful and focused parenting today. Due to some social and economic challenges, many parents are finding it hard giving what it takes to nurture and care for their children properly.
To proffer solution to the problem and find a way forward, stakeholders recently gathered for the Breach Repairers’ National Parenting Conference tagged, Critical Rescue”, to deliberate on the need to rescue the process of parenting the Nigerian child, as well as overhauling the method of rearing children in every aspect and not just education.
The conference, which had in attendance wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, wife of the Lagos State governor, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode, Ogun State First Lady, Mrs. Olufunso Amosun and First Lady of Akwa Ibom, Mrs. Martha Udom, highlighted the important roles of stakeholders in effective parenting.
Coordinator of the event, Mrs. Nkem Okoro said, “It is often expedient, while training on parenting, to incorporate all concerned, especially parents, teachers, society and government.”
She said parental absenteeism is a huge drawback to effective parenting. This, she attributed to very tight and busy work schedules, which hinder parents from allotting quality time for proper nurture and guidance of their children.
Reminiscing on how it all started, Founder of Breach Repairers, Pastor Chuks Nduka, said the whole concept started many years ago, when as a Youth Corper, he undertook his primary assignment with the Scripture Union in Ogun State.
