By

The chairman of Lagos State Parks and Garages management committee, Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo has claimed people didn't die at Lekki Tollgate during the #EndSARS protesters of 2020.   Oluomo spoke on Sunday during the rally he organised in Lagos to support his candidate, Bola Tinubu, and the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Oluomo said, “Where are the bodies and where are they buried? Do they have relatives in Nigeria? Has Nigeria bribed the mothers of the deceased protesters? Why are their siblings not searching for them, even on social media? Or is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu a Chief of Army Staff or President who will order the killing of protesters at the (Lekki) Tollgate?” “They’re lying to us, they want to undermine the Yorubas, everyone should come out. It is a political game. It was Atiku and Obi that conspired to do all those things then.   In October 2020, thousands of youths trooped out to the streets in Nigeria and the diaspora, protesting extra judici...

Full Text Of Prostrate Health.

By

I am here to speak with you on Prostate. The topic is misleading. Is prostate strictly for men? Yes, ONLY men have prostate and ONLY men over 40 years but the healthcare enlightenment is for everyone. There is no woman who does not know a man 40 years and above, father, uncle, brother, son, friend, neighbour, colleague. Essentially what I will be doing today is health promotion. Responsible health promotion must provide three things: 1. Information 2. Reassurance 3. A plan of action. Let me start with a background on prostate health. Everyone has a pair of kidneys. The job of the kidney is to remove waste. It is the LAWMA (waste management company) of your body. Everyday your blood passes through the kidney several times to be filtered. As the blood is filtered, urine is formed and stored in a temporary storage tank called the urinary bladder. If there were to be no urinary bladder, as a man walks on the road, urine will be dropping. Now think of the plumbing work in your house. Think ...

Cassava Stick To Chase Away Wall Geckos In Your Rooms.

By
Image
Wall gecko. This little creature called wall gecko is one of the most powerful animals used by spiritual forces to perpetrate their nefarious act against human beings in the spiritual realm. Don't forget that spiritual controls the physical. Before anything manifests in the physical, it would have first been perfected in the  spiritual realm.  When forces want to come to where you're living and have personal contact with someone, they use wall gecko. It is simply for monitoring and to deposit some spiritual problem in the life of the host.  Anytime you see wall gecko in your room, or any part of the house, just know that, a particular force is already operating in your house and by extension, your life. At times, they will be hiding and you won't notice and they would be carrying out their assignment silently. The silent one is the most deadliest. With this, things would stop operating the way it should. Many things would start going wrong. Whatever it would take you, onc...
