What are the major Causes Of Death In Nigeria?
A non-Governmental Organisation, NGO, Moole Charity Foundation, has said that the major causes of death in Nigeria were high blood pressure and hepatitis.
The Project Manager of the organisation, Dr Linda Odoh, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on the sideline of project “Silent killers’’ campaign held in Abuja.
Odoh said that regular medical checkup would go a long way in reducing the risks and complications associated with these diseases.
She said the project was organised to also conduct free testing and screening for the public on hypertension, high blood pressure, diabetes, hepatitis, malaria and HIV.
He said: “The reason we are screening people is because the major causes of death in our environment today are caused by these silent killer diseases.
“They are called silent killers, because you would not know that you have it until you get tested, if you do not check regularly you will not know that you are at risk.”
Odoh advised people to engage in regular exercises, increase intake of fruits, vegetable and also quit alcohol and smoking in order to live a healthier life.
Similarly, Olawale Akintaro, president of the Foundation, told NAN that the organisation had reached out to people in different ways.
Akintaro said: “Our services are not limited to health alone. We also visit schools to give scholarship to indigent students, and we meet diverse needs of people in different ways.
“I feel so excited today to see a large number of people coming to get tested and screened free. So I am very happy to be part of this charity project.”
Grammy Award-winning singer Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has revealed why he is not yet ready to have children.
He made this known during an Instagram live session on his page on Wednesday.
Burna Boy claimed that his desire to provide the same level of love and dedication his parents gave him is the reason why he is not having kids.
Explaining further, Burna Boy said, “Why haven’t I had kids yet? Bro, it’s because I don’t want to have kids. Like, have you seen my operation? Have you seen my mom the way she loves me? Have you seen my dad the way he loves me?
“Bro, I know I can’t give that to anyone right now with the life I live. So until I am settled and can be there for my children every day, every minute of every day, I am not having any kids.”
The singer was arrested or rather dramatically dragged into the police van while he was trying to run away from the arrest on May 14 following a petition from a car dealer.
Portable allegedly purchased a G-Wagon worth N27 million from the car dealer, made a down payment and took the vehicle away with the promise to pay the balance.
After waiting for a while without any word concerning his balance, the dealer reached out to the singer who claimed the car he purchased had faults. The dealer then asked the singer to return the car or pay the balance but Portable allegedly refused.
Following a petition from the dealer, the police moved in and arrested the singer who is currently in their custody.
When contacted, the spokesperson of the Lagos state police command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the arrest of the singer.
Sharing a video on his Instagram account, he said;
“I am going to be spending the next 24 hours buried in this casket. Guys, this is real, not fake. And the most amazing part is that I am going to go live by night.”
In a subsequent update, the young man simply identified as Young C revealed that he had been buried for over 8 hours and was experiencing physical discomfort, including excessive sweating;
“Guys, I have been buried alive for over 8 hours now. For those of you who saw my first video, I have been down here. As you can see, my camera is still rolling, and I have my light down there, I am sweating, guys.”
In yet another update, Young C said he has started experiencing heat and that his fear now is for his rechargeable fan not to run out of power.
He also showed a container where he has been urinating since he began the challenge.
This feat was also once attained by an American YouTuber, Jimmy Donaldson popular known as MrBeast who spent 50 hours buried underground.
