Maize, also known as corn, is an essential staple food in many parts of the world....Click Here To Continue Reading>>

It is rich in nutrients such as carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

While maize alone cannot cure diseases, it can contribute to maintaining good health and preventing certain illnesses.

However, it is important to note that a balanced diet including a variety of foods is crucial for overall well-being and disease prevention.

Eating maize without beans can be beneficial for certain health conditions.

For example, individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance can substitute wheat and other gluten-containing grains with maize, which is naturally gluten-free.

This can help alleviate symptoms and improve overall digestive health.

Moreover, maize contains a high amount of dietary fiber.

Regular consumption of fiber-rich foods, like maize, can aid in managing and preventing various conditions such as constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, and colorectal cancer.

Fiber promotes healthy digestion, regulates blood sugar levels, and helps maintain a healthy weight.

Additionally, maize is a good source of antioxidants like carotenoids, which play a vital role in protecting against chronic diseases such as heart disease, certain types of cancer, and age-related macular degeneration.

However, it is important to highlight that relying solely on maize without including other sources of protein, such as beans, may lead to nutritional deficiencies.

Beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, essential amino acids, and minerals like iron and zinc, which are important for maintaining overall health and preventing anemia.

In conclusion, while maize alone cannot cure diseases, incorporating it into a balanced diet can contribute to good health and disease prevention.

However, it is crucial to include a variety of foods, including beans or other protein sources, to ensure a well-rounded and nutrient-rich diet.

Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized dietary advice based on individual health needs.

Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has confirmed that some of his cats were killed during a midnight raid conducted by the Department of State Services (DSS) on his residence in July 2021....Click Here To Continue Reading>>

Speaking in an interview with The Punch, Igboho, who keeps cats as pets, stated that the DSS officers indiscriminately fired bullets during the raid, leading to the death of several cats. He denied the rumours that he transformed into a cat to escape capture.

While acknowledging earlier reports alleging that the DSS and soldiers brought three herbalists, killed five cats, and took one away, believing Igboho had transformed, he clarified that the cats were simply caught in the crossfire of the raid.

“It’s true that some cats were killed during the attack,” Igboho explained. “The DSS just kept firing bullets everywhere. I had many cats as pets, and any movement attracted their gunfire.”

He added, “Their mission was clear: either kill me or arrest me and take me to some unknown location. But God is greater than anyone, including the former president. My God and providence put them to shame with that illegal raid. They failed to achieve what they came for. I didn’t turn into a cat to escape.”

This revelation comes just days after the ECOWAS Court of Justice in Abuja ordered the Benin Republic government to pay Igboho a sum of 20 million CFA as compensation for the raid and his illegal detention. Igboho recently regained his freedom in Benin and has since reunited with his family in Germany.

On Wednesday, the President of Benin Republic, Patrice Talon, visited Nigerian President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja. The two leaders discussed ways to improve trade relations between their countries.

In a statement released by presidential spokesperson Ajuri Ngelale, Tinubu acknowledged the lack of cooperation between Nigeria and Benin Republic, which he said had been hindering mutual development. He emphasized the importance of economic synergy between the two nations for West African economic prosperity.

Tinubu referred to Nigeria and Benin Republic as “conjoined twins held together at the hip” and called for common economic principles and priorities. He welcomed the economic programme being developed through inter-ministerial collaboration and pledged support for private sector interests to facilitate prosperity in both countries.

President Talon sought President Tinubu’s support on improving trade relations between their countries ahead of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Summit. He emphasized the importance of free movement of people and goods between Nigeria and Benin Republic.

Talon also highlighted the need for a revised investment programme that factors in all aspects of the Nigerian economy. He proposed the establishment of an inter-ministerial technical committee to prepare a draft document for their legislatures. Talon expressed readiness to sign an executive order to appoint members of the council to advance mutually beneficial cooperation across sectors.

The two leaders also discussed the issue of smuggling and coordination efforts to ensure the protection of each other’s interests as their economies integrate.
