Welcome back to me!!

                Sorry for the long absence. I lost my zeal for awhile. Even thought about deleting my blog. Luckily, I had a burst of inspiration this morning and thought it best to keep it open for moments when I feel the need to air interesting views or perspectives. Will try to post things regularly and keep your minds entertained. I hope to keep your minds challenged and thinking about things from a broader perspective.

Thanks for keeping the faith and for reading. Will try to keep it fresh.

Here We Go Again... Arggghhhh! I remember my last valentine’s day. It was spent eating a bag of M&Ms and feeling sorry for myself. This year, I promised to have no expectations, same as last year. Lol So, are you single and wondering what to do this Valentine’s Day..... Options include; 1.        Refusing to leave the house all day( I am partial to this one) 2.        Sending yourself a Val’s gift in the office( obviously signed from an admirer)- desperate, I know 3.        Sending a valentine gift to an ex and hoping he or she will reciprocate( please note, this never worked for anyone I know) 4.        And my personal favourite, behaving like u got something so major but you are refusing to share the gist.( this actually works).

I am sure we have all seen the short clip of the Lagos State  Commandant of Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC) on Channels TV. So, I won't bug you with that. What I think would be beneficial if you can spare about 20 minutes to watch the full interview.  Part 1       Part 2 The first issue is the claim that channels TV presenters were not fair to the guy. hmmmmmmm.How do I start? Watching the whole interview, gives better perspective . Truth is, the presenters were fed up.The man through out the interview didn't answer 1 question directly. He had to be guided through out the process. Question after question had to be broken down and he would regularly say- My Oga(s) at the top. Not that I support them but I felt their pain. Not forgetting that one of the issues he was called  upon to clarify was this issue of various false websites. So it only made sense to ask- what the official NSCDC website is. But as seasoned professionals, they should have tri

Okay, so I am a medical doctor and I  practiced in Nigeria. So i honestly felt i had the skinny on hypertension. I mean we all know the risk factors- familial, sedentary lifestyle, obesity , alcohol blah blah blah.  Imagine my utter shock and amusement when i saw a comment on linda ikeji's blog about causes of hypertension and someone said snoring. i was about to reply- what utter hogwash! but i decided for the sake of ..... . to check. I checked and behold. Shock, i tell you. Shock. Anyhow, we live and we learn. so, yes! snoring has been linked to hypertension. snoring causes sleep apnea, which is just a fancy way of saying oxygen deprivation. Snoring and its resulting low oxygen supply to the body can have a similar effect as lack of sleep . Research shows that someone who doesnt sleep has a higher tendency or higher risk factor for hypertension. you can find more information HERE and HERE . Lets try to keep ourselves informed and stay healthy. Thank you for readin
