On the 8th of march I was involved in a near fatal accident in Benin City.
A life was lost in that accident..😭😭.
I am here not because of my faithfulness or righteousness...
I am just grateful to be alive...
The journey has been arduous..
But God has been faithful.
I judge HIM faithful.
Please say a word of prayer of Thanksgiving to the almighty on my behalf..

health benefits of Garden eggs

Have you ever wondered if garden eggs have any health benefits?

Garden eggs, also known as African eggplants or aubergines, are a type of vegetable that are native to Africa.

They are part of the nightshade family, which includes other vegetables such as tomatoes and potatoes.

They are grown in different parts of Africa, and they are a staple in many African diets.

The forms of eating garden eggs seem endless in our society as it is eaten raw, cooked (in the form of sauce) while others make salad from them.


Garden eggs come in many different colours, but the most common in this part of the world is white, green, and yellow.

I often wonder what are the health benefits of this vegetable 🍆🥒 and I know some of us have the same question in mind, don’t move a muscle as discussed in this article are seven health benefits of garden egg.

1. It reduces cholesterol
Garden egg is low in calories, sodium, and protein and is very high in dietary fibre and potassium. The high fibre content in eggplant helps to reduce bad cholesterol in the body, thereby protecting the heart.

Garden egg is also the perfect recipe for achieving weight loss within a short period of time because it is very low in calorie content.

2. It helps in the prevention and treatment of diabetes
African garden egg is also a perfect snack for those with diabetes or those concerned about preventing complications of diabetes in their liver.

Research has shown that garden eggs curb elevated blood sugar by inhibiting key enzymes associated with the development of type 2 diabetes.

3. It boosts the immune system
The numerous components existing in the garden egg like; iron, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B9, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, zinc, and protein- give a massive boost to your immune system. Which in return helps to; repair damaged cells, create and activate T ‘killer’ cells that activate other helper cells, help to create other white blood cells, mitigate and fight against bacteria, viruses, diseases, and other microorganisms.

4. It helps to improve digestion
Garden eggs contain fibre that is good for your body.

A good digestive system helps to prevent abdominal pain, constipation, loose tool, diarrhoea, gastrointestinal symptoms, and bloating.

Fibre and phosphorus are present in garden eggs and this helps with removing these issues beforehand or during that soothes the digestive system to function effectively.

5. It regulates blood pressure
Garden egg helps to regulate blood pressure, maintain and regulate the function of the heart.

It controls glucose absorption and reduces the risk of hypertension which is why when a diabetic person consumes it, it suppresses the sugar level and brings the blood pressure down.

6. It acts as an anti-ulcer agent
Garden eggs have anti-ulcer remedies, which could be used as a treatment for ulcers. They do not protect one from having ulcers but the anti-ulcer content in the fruit suppresses the ailment.

7. It is rich in vitamins
Garden egg fruit is beneficial and nourishing to the body because it is rich in vitamins which provides the body with both soluble vitamin and water-soluble vitamins.

They are rich in thiamine required for normal growth and proper functioning of the heart and nervous system and niacin needed for cellular respiration.

There is so much to benefit when you make garden eggs a part of your diet. Eat a garden egg and stay healthy.

What is trauma?
What does trauma mean?

Trauma refers to a sudden, serious body injury or shock, as from violence or an accident, as in The car accident resulted in trauma to the arms and legs of the passenger.

Trauma also refers to a serious psychological injury or emotional pain, as from being involved in a disturbing or horrible incident, as in The trauma caused by years of war still gives the soldier nightmares.

Trauma is also used to refer to the specific incidents that cause both of these types of serious damage, as in The flood survivors never spoke of the trauma they experienced that day.

Example: The victim suffered from internal bleeding caused by repeated trauma to the chest.
Now, there are a lot of definitions of trauma.. however they all mean the same thing.......your body, mind and psych reaction to a disturbing occurrence..
It's not something to play with as it can seriously mess you up.
If you've experienced any traumatic event please seek help.
Take care of your mental health..

GOOD MORNING
Both guavas are hanging together on the same branch of the same tree. One of them is already ripe, while the other one may need more time to ripen.
Nature is teaching us an important lesson through these guavas.
When we see others around us achieving success while we have not, it does not mean we are unsuccessful. It simply means that the right time for us has not yet come.
So, we must hold on, be patient, and not give up out of frustration. We might just be a few days away from reaching our ripened state.
Remember, our time will come, too, but it requires patience and perseverance.
Copied.

Life is ephemeral...
Not worth gragra at all.
Let me paint a scenario..
During my sojourn in Unilag we lost two lecturers!!
One was lady, very very mean ,callous and vindictive....
The second was kind, supportive loving, forgiving, fatherly and he was the reason why I didn't defer my masters because I resume late and thought I couldn't cope .. he however encouraged me and told me I could do it...
When we suddenly lost the later, the whole of Unilag was thrown into mourning and wailing....I was on my way to Warri when I was called and told and I went hysterical in the vehicle. I screamed!! Even fellow passengers who didn't know me consoled me.
On his commendation service there was no space... Students were his pall bearers...
On the other hand, the the lady's own happened , life in campus went on as if nothing happened...

Her commendation service was attended by few lecturers and few family members....

What's the lesson here, let's all learn to treat people with dignity , genuine love and care.

What will we be remembered for?
As we go into this new month let's be guided.
Happy new month

8th of January 2024 I lost my pet in the most tragic circumstances...

I am hoping my pouring out my grief will help me move on..
Well, an average Nigerian in these trying times would not understand what the ff I am talking about!!! A cat?? Madam abeg shift!!🙄🙄🙄

However, it made me realize the mess we truly are in!!
In organized climes, even a fish life is respected and protected!! Let alone a human.!!

The same way my cat was left to die by an evil vet, is the same way humans are left as well in some hospital/ slaughter houses!!

Let me tell the full story...
My cat was pregnant last year, and I spoke about it. I was excited to see her kittens however ,she went into labor and I saw nothing!!
I realized that she was particularly small for her age and size.. but felt, perhaps it was a genetic defect. So I moved on..
Fast forward this year,
She became pregnant again and her pregnancy progressed and she went into labor..
I documented every step with videos.
She didn't allow me leave her side.. it was as if she knew she wouldn't make it..
If I left her for a second,she would come after me vocalizing and I would go and meet her. Sit by her and comfort her.
At a point my son had to relive me.. it was that intense...
After 24 hours no improvement I called her vet who told me she wasn't available but referred me to another vet. Quickly,I took her there and he gave her oxytosin injection!!
He then told me to take her home and if she's still not given birth I should bring her back for CS. Yes, animals have CS..
What is CS.?. it's assisted birth via surgery be it human or animal...
Here is where it became nasty!!
I called this vet and he told me he had to run errands quickly and would be back ASAP!! This happened on a Saturday morning around 8 am... I kept calling for two more hours and eventually he picked and told me to pay 20k for the surgery after paying 6k for the injection..
Omo, I felt it was ridiculous however after negotiating with him, he finally agreed for 15k. As we were discussing,his phone went off..
That was the last time he picked his call. I called him for over 20times..
All the while my cat was in excruciating pain.. the worse part was that she came to me staring into my eyes as if begging me to help her!!
She pushed and pushed and pushed and eventually started bleeding..
I was helpless. To the extent that I asked my friends to pray for her!!
It was a sad sight!! By 8 pm that evening after over 48 hrs of pushing, I eventually got the first vet on the phone who tried in vain to get another vet to perform the C's to no avail...
She then told me to pray she gets by Sunday as all the vets don't work on Sundays that first thing on Monday she would carry out the C's. That would have been 72 hours of that poor cat being in labor.

By Sunday, I could only give her glucose water that the evil vet said I should be giving her...
In the morning of Sunday she still could walk to her water bowl but gradually started fading away...
She went to hide at this point and was sooo weak I had to carry her.
At around 10pm... I just couldn't leave her to go and sleep and I told her I loved her and she winked with her left eyes, which means ' I love you too...
At that point I was so exhausted I went to sleep .
10mins later, I heard my son screaming, Tiggie! tiggie !! And I knew the worst had happened!!
My baby was no more!!!
I ran out there and saw her...
I was devastated...
My Tiggs was no more..
See, you guys won't understand...
She was my little friend...
My comfort animal ..
Every day, she wakes me up at the same time..
She understood every word and most times was obedient 😁😁 Cats are generally opinionated 🙄😁
She welcomes me from work..
Infact I meet her by my window waiting patiently for me and immediately she sights me she runs to the door to roll round my leg..
These days I come home to an empty house..
Whenever I am making my YouTube tutorials if you watch very well you will see her going round inspecting..
😁😁😁
And to loose her in such a way .....😭😭😭

Ok, I have eventually done it!!
I feel an immense relief...

Rest in peace my Tiggie boots..
She lived a fulfilled life filled with love....
You're over the rainbow bridge...
