HEALTH EATING: Easy Tips for Planning a Healthy Diet & Sticking to It

Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, stabilizing your mood, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible—all of which can be achieved by learning some nutrition basics and using them in a way that works for you. You can expand your range of healthy food choices and learn how to plan ahead to create and maintain a tasty, healthy diet.

Healthy eating tip 1: Set yourself up for success

To set yourself up for success, think about planning a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps rather than one big drastic change. If you approach the changes gradually and with commitment, you will have a healthy diet sooner than you think.

• Simplify. Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety, and freshness. This way it should be easier to make healthy choices. Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that incorporate a few fresh ingredients. Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more delicious.
• Start slow and make changes to your eating habits over time. Trying to make your diet healthy overnight isn’t realistic or smart. Changing everything at once usually leads to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan. Make small steps, like adding a salad (full of different color vegetables) to your diet once a day or switching from butter to olive oil when cooking. As your small changes become habit, you can continue to add more healthy choices to your diet.
• Every change you make to improve your diet matters. You don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to completely eliminate foods you enjoy to have a healthy diet. The long term goal is to feel good, have more energy, and reduce the risk of cancer and disease. Don’t let your missteps derail you—every healthy food choice you make counts.

Residents Riot Over Sanusi's Emergence As Kano Emir

Some residents of Kano State on Sunday took to the street following the announcement of the former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, as the Emir of Kano State.

*The Emir Of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi

A witness said the aggrieved residents at the Kofar Kudu area of the state, near the Emir’s palace started the riot as Sanusi was announced the successor to late Alhaji Ado Bayero.

He said the residents of the neighbouring streets trooped out to the palace area in opposition to the choice, shouting “Ba muso, ba muso”, meaning, “We don’t want, we don’t want” in apparent reference to the choice of Sanusi by the state government.

According to him, the angry residents set tyres on fire, mounted road blocks and started throwing stones at passing vehicles.

He said the situation was, however, quelled by the swift arrival of a detachment of police officers, Civil Defence officials as well as members of the state Hisbah.

Nigerian Gospel Songs Can’t Lead You to Christ - Etcetera

Nigerian singer, Pascal Uche Ejikeme popularly called Etcetera known for always sharing his opinions about issues has spoken on the the kind of message Nigerian songs preach to the public.

Etcetera

Read what he has to say below:

Just like our Nigerian pastors, Nigerian gospel songs cannot lead you to Christ.  

Nigerian gospel songs are not spiritually uplifting. They are mostly about the things of the flesh, about riches and fame. The simple use of religious terms and phrases here and there is not enough to lead anyone to Christ. I dare you to go to any Nigerian gospel musician’s website and see if you will find a simple plan of salvation. You won’t.  

Most of the songs being sold to the public as “Christian songs” are religious rubbish. Most of them are songs without the truth, Church'ianity and not Christianity. Because most of the Nigerian gospel musicians are themselves not Christ-like. They carry as many babes as the worldly hip hop stars. Fornicate on Saturday night and minister to you in church on Sunday morning, tasking you to wave your handkerchief in the name of the lord.  

Sanusi Is The New Emir Of Kano

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the expelled Central Bank of Nigeria Governor has emerged as the new Emir of Kano.

The history of Dan Majen Kano title in the hierarchical traditional titles of the traditional institution of Kano Emirate dates back to the 16th century, exactly in 1509 when the then Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Kisoki appointed the first Dan Maje, that is, Dan Maje Ummaru.

This title continued to exist up to the time.Kano fell under the authority of colonialists after its invasion and from that time to date, Sanusi is the 10th Dan Maje of Kano.

Dan Maje title is 21st in the hierarchy in the over 60 District Heads and title holders in the Kano Emirate after the Magajin Gari title and followed by of Dan Kadai who is the 22nd in the hierarchy.

SHOCKER: Nigerian Army Admits Lacking Capacity To Rescue Chibok Girls -Activists

Just as many critics of the Federal Government have been saying, the Nigerian military high command has reportedly admitted that it did not have the equipment and weapon to rescue the secondary school girls abducted by gunmen in Chibok, Borno State.

According to latest reports, over two hundred girls are still in the camp of the Boko Haram sect after some of the kidnapped girls reportedly escaped from the captivity of their abductors some days back.

However, one of the Civil society group at the forefront of rallies for the release of the abducted Chibok girls has allegedly said the military high command admitted at a meeting with the coalition that it did not have the equipment and weapon to rescue the schoolgirls.

Jibrim Ibrahim, the head, Mobilisation Committee of the ‘bring back our girls’ group, said some military chiefs told representatives of the movement at a meeting in Abuja on Tuesday that the military spent most of its budget on “expendables” such as fuelling operational vehicles, personnel allowances and other things.

* US President Obama has pledged to assist Nigeria fight terrorism

While briefing members of the group on Wednesday on the outcome of their meeting with the Chief of Defence Staff at the Defence Headquarters, Abuja, Ibrahim explained that the military command also said it was hindered by lack of intelligence as well as the strained relationship between the Federal Government and Borno State Government.

Michelle Obama joins worldwide protest over missing Nigerian schoolgirls

First Lady of the United States of America, Michelle Obama, has joined the global campaign calling for the release of girls abducted more than 3 weeks ago in Chibok, Borno State.

Barack Obama's wife took to Twitter to express her shock over the Nigerian tragedy:

"Our prayers are with the missing Nigerian girls and their families. It's time to bring back our girls."
The tweet of President's wife was signed "-mo," meaning she sent it herself.

Abduction of more than 230 girls carried on April 14 by Boko Haram sect members is not the issue of only national concern any more.

World leading countries, including but not limited to USA, China, France, UK, offered strategic and military assistance in the rescue operation.

Nigerian and international celebrities condemned the outrageous act and joined the #BringBackOurGirls movement.

US Scientists Are Ready To Identify, Reunite Abducted Girls With Families By DNA Test

A group of scientists at the University of North Texas is ready to provide forensic DNA technology for free that could help identify and reunite with their families the more than 200 Chibok girls who were kid­napped by Boko Haram.

Speaking with AFP on Tuesday, the chairman of the depart­ment of molecular and medi­cal genetics at the University of North Texas (UNT), Arthur Eisenberg, explained that software already exists to match missing people with their relatives.

"It has been used worldwide to identify and re­turn more than 740 children who were trafficked, some across international borders," said Eisenberg who heads the UNT Center for Human Identification, the laboratory that works with a 10-year-old international program called DNA-Prokids, which aims to reunite families and deter human trafficking.

Most of all, forensic scien­tists in the United States and Spain say they are ready to help, free of charge. All they need to get started are DNA samples from family members of the lost schoolgirls. “We would do this absolutely for nothing,” said Eisenberg.

First, the girls’ family mem­bers: mother, father or another close relative could provide a DNA sample by swabbing the inside of their mouths with a cotton tip or giving a blood sample.

Then, Eisenberg said, he and colleagues establish DNA profiles of the families using a software system called M-FI­Sys (pronounced “emphasis”).

The Man President Jonathan Needs As His New Political Adviser

When the president of a nation shows his Adviser on political matters the exit door ten months before general elections, there is absolutely no need to seek the service of a diviner on why such development occurred.

On April 29, 2014, the sack of the erstwhile political adviser in the presidency was announced; the termination of his appointment was with immediate effect too. “President Jonathan thanks Alhaji (Ahmed) Gulak for his services to the present administration and wishes him success in his future endeavors,” the statement from Aso Rock “real spokesman” (reference to Governor Murtala Nyako’s mockery of his kinsman) Reuben Abati read.

Nothing would have placed a bet on the reality of the fate that has befallen Gulak. I also, wouldn’t have put down my money. This is because the president himself watched, with perhaps little or no word of caution, as the former steadily took his boss’s perceived and existing opponents to the cleaners.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, the main and only platform that poses real threat to the re-election ambition of Mr Jonathan did not receive much bashing from Gulak if compared his offensive on groups that comprises Northern elders. Power is transient and unfortunately, most of those in authority perpetually forgets.

While in office, Alhaji Gulak must have been deceived to think he was untouchable. He was unrepentant all along; gale of severe verbal attacks, name-calling and hurl of insults were his choice of responses to statements/comments by whatever person or persons.

Chibok Girls Search: Nigeria Deploys Two Special Battalions

Presidential aide Doyin Okupe has revealed in the interview to CNN that two special battalions were deployed to find the girls abducted in Chibok, Borno State.

This comes amid the accusations by the victims' parents and Nigerians that the authorities are not doing enough to rescue the children.

Okupe also added that "250 aerial sortees with helicopters and fighter jets” scanned the forests, which gave no results. 

More than 200 school girls were abducted in the April 14 night raid on Chibok, Borno State. Boko Haram sect leader Abubakar Shekau yesterday released the video in which he claimed responsibility for the kidnap and promised to sell the victims in the market.

Meanwhile the tragedy has caused international rage and concern, with many countries suggesting their help in the search process.

USA has reportedly offered assistance, which was immediately accepted by President Goodluck Jonathan, and soon the American special team is expected to join the operation.

The former pair are dealing, each in their own way.

The news of Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas’ split only surfaced this week, but it looks like the two are already moving on. Well, he is, anyway. The newly minted bachelor used the opportunity to take a little trip to Miami this week, where he apparently did not waste any time moping. On Thursday, a few paps scoped out the royal at a beach house in Miami’s Soho neighborhood. In a video, shared by The New York Daily News, the prince is seen approaching a table of young women and can be heard saying: “It was nice meeting you.”

Harry seems to be adjusting to the breakup well enough. 

Granted, that doesn’t necessarily mean he was flirting, but it is Miami after all. Harry is in the US just days after the breakup was made public (although it may have been longer since it actually happened). He is visiting the States to attend the wedding of of his good friend Guy Pelly.

In the meantime, Harry and his crew appear to be partying it up ahead of Pelly's big day. On the other side of the ocean, the royal’s ex, Cressida Bonas, has reportedly been granted “compassionate leave” from her job to deal with the fallout. She has pulled out of the Pelly wedding, Vanity Fair reports, and has also withdrawn from her marketing job in London – not exactly the standard procedure during a breakup, but maybe the protocol is different when your ex is fifth in line for the throne. According to most reports, Cressida is believed to have initiated the breakup. Variety's report says, “According to sources, Cressida, who is currently working for a marketing company in London’s Soho, has been given compassionate leave from work, while she gets over the break up. She was photographed earlier this week looking tired and drawn as she made her way to the office, and hasn’t been seen since then.”

Omotola Comments On Accusations Of Her "Making Friends" With Politicians

Top-notch Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, admired by millions of Nigerians and tenderly called Omosexy, has said she should not be included in the list of celebrities who make friends with politicians.

Speaking at the Nigerian Entertainment Conference (NEC) last week the mother of four claimed that she had never been among those who keep company either with government or politicians, Vanguard reports.

One of the most influential people of 2013, according to TIME magazine, Omotola said:

"Somebody on a blog a few days ago wrote that there are Nollywood personalities who are friends with politicians, sharing the national cake together. I, Omotola, have never campaigned or partied with any government, so don’t mention my name among those who do that. I have suffered enough for refusing to party with them and take ‘Ghana Must Go’ back home, so don’t let me suffer more," she stated.

She also added that if a celebrity wished to be friends with politicians, one should do so without making connection between politicians' activities and the celebrity's brand.

Probably her remark is the reaction to the attack made by singer Etcetera, who mentioned Omotola among other popular personalities allegedly making friends with politicians - Etcetera made this statement right after the tragic Nyanya bombing.
