  In today’s digital age, screens are everywhere—televisions, tablets, smartphones, computers, and gaming consoles. While technology has made life easier. It also poses a growing concern for parents and educators:  Excessive screen time for children. Here's why it's important for children to limit their screen use and focus on healthier, balanced lifestyles. 1. Impact on Physical Health Too much screen time often leads to a stagnant lifestyle.

Mental and Emotional Effects Excessive screen use, especially on social media or video games, can affect a child’s mental well-being. Studies show links between high screen time and increased anxiety, depression, and reduced self-esteem in children. The...

Postinor 2 is a widely available emergency contraceptive pill (also known as the “morning-after pill”) that helps prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. While it can be an effective backup option in emergencies, many women—especially younger users—are misusing it as a regular form of contraception. This misuse can have serious short- and long-term consequences on your reproductive health. In this article, we’ll explore the potential dangers of using Postinor 2 and why it should be used responsibly and sparingly. 1. It’s Not a Regular Contraceptive Postinor 2 is designed for emergency use only. It’s not meant to replace regular methods like birth control pills, IUDs, or condoms.

  Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is a commonly prescribed fertility drug used to stimulate ovulation in women struggling to conceive. While it can be a helpful tool in fertility treatment, an increasing number of young women under 30 are turning to Clomid without fully understanding the potential risks. Whether due to pressure to conceive quickly or the misconception that it can boost fertility, using Clomid without proper medical oversight can pose serious health dangers—especially for women under 30 who may not actually need it. In this article, we explore the potential risks of Clomid for younger women and why it's essential to approach fertility treatments with caution and guidance. 1. Clomid Is Not a "One-Size-Fits-All" Solution Many women under 30 still have regular ovulatory cycles and may not need medical intervention to conceive.

A new health controversy is unfolding across Nigeria following a viral video of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, founder of Loveworld Incorporated (Christ Embassy), urging his followers to consume more salt—contradicting long-standing medical guidelines on sodium intake. In the now-viral clip, Pastor Chris claimed that Africans have been “deliberately discouraged” from eating salt as part of a plot to make them dependent on sodium-based medications. “They told you not to take salt so that you can buy their drugs—drugs that contain sodium,” he said during a church service. “Salt is not your enemy... You need salt, more salt than less salt.” The statement has caused a wave of concern among health experts and the general public, prompting the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare to issue a formal public health advisory.

The Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has raised concern over increasing deaths caused by hospitals refusing to treat gunshot victims without a police report. This violates the Gunshot Act 2017, which mandates that all hospitals—public or private—must treat gunshot victims immediately, with or without police clearance. Key points: Hospitals must treat gunshot victims as emergencies. Police reports are not required before treatment. Security agents and individuals must assist in getting victims to hospitals. The Ministry is implementing strategies to ensure compliance. The police are urged to support enforcement and reassure hospitals that providing such treatment is legal. Healthcare providers are reminded: saving lives comes first. Signed: Patricia Deworitshe Director (Information) 5/2/2024
