How To Save A Person From Stroke Using Only A Needle?

The unconventional method of saving human life during a stroke is a method of a Chinese professor who says that you should always keep a needle in your house.

Share this advice, so that you help someone survive. Take the time to read. You never know if someone’s life may depend on you.

When someone gets a stroke, the capillaries of the brain gradually stretch. You require a rest and an ambulance. These tips will help you save someone’s life!

Stay calm! Regardless of the place the victim is, don’t move them, because if you move the patient, the capillaries will burst and there will be some bleeding in the brain! It would be best if you have a syringe needle at home, but a simple needle for sewing can help, too.

Hold the needle – over the fire, a lighter or candle to sterilize and then use it for pricking the tops of all 10 fingers.

No specific acupuncture is need; it should only be a few millimeters from the nail.

Perform so that the blood can flow.

If blood does not start to drip, tighten and start squeezing the blood to flow.

When all 10 fingers begin to bleed wait a few minutes – you will see that the victim will be back to life!
If the victim’s mouth is distorted, massage their ears until they become red – so blood can come to them.

Then prick with the needle in each ear in the soft part, to fall two drops of blood of each ear. A few minutes later, his mouth would no longer be distorted
Wait until the victim come to normal state without any unusual symptoms, then send to the hospital.

This method of bloodshed to save the life is a method of a traditional Chinese medicine, and its practical application is 100% effective and using it people can survive a stroke.

This is How Headaches Reveal What is Wrong With Your Health.

Headache is the most common form of pain. It’s one of the main reason people miss days at work or school or visit the doctor. Some people have them when they are tired or if they don’t sleep enough, some people have headaches if they didn’t drink enough water that day, etc.

The most usual types of headaches are 4 and all of them indicate something about our body. If you learn the signals, you will effectively learn to treat the headaches properly.

1. SINUS HEADACHE

As its name implies, a sinus headache occurs when sinuses become inflamed or blocked. This can cause pain behind the cheeks, nose and eyes that gets worse when your bend forward or when you wake up. Common causes include allergic reaction, a tumor, or an infection. Depending on its underlying cause, symptoms can closely resemble those of a migraine.

Treatment: consume as many liquids as possible. You possibly will benefit a lot from the use of warm water since it effectively reduces the inflammation and opens the sinuses. Also, you can try to apply cold and hot compresses, reduce the pain by eating a soup, or a fresh ginger, because it has powerful anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing properties.

2. TENSION HEADACHE

It’s the most usual headache type that is manifested by a constant pressure or pain around the head, mainly in the back of the head and the neck, or at the temples. It might also cause a radiating pain above or below the eye area. It can last between a few minutes to a few days. Triggers include lack of sleep, missed meals, stressful situations, high emotions and alcohol.

Treatment: Combine peppermint oil and ginger tea in order to successfully reduce the pain. Add some peppermint oil to the hairline to cause a cooling sensation with the intention to relax the head and neck muscles. Also, ginger tea will relieve the inflammation.

3. CLUSTER HEADACHE
This headache may appear over one eye, and it mostly affects women. It is often recurring, and may occur in a cycle or in a group. It appears suddenly and leads to a severe pain on one head side. In this case, you may often experience a nasal congestion, a rainy nose or a watery eye. Its cause cannot be stated, but it occurs as soon as certain nerve pathway is activated in the brain’s base.

Treatment: Capsaicin cream includes an active ingredient, cayenne pepper. A small amount of it applied to the nostril will cause a blockade of the nerve pain signals.

4. MIGRAINE

Migraines usually occur between the age of 25 and 55, but they can also be experienced regardless of the age. This headache type is way more complicated than any other headache, because it includes numerous different neurological symptoms.

Migraines are manifested by a severe, intense, throbbing pain on only one side of the head. In one-third of the migraine attacks, the pain occurs on the both sides of the head. The pain is combined with other symptoms like vomiting, dizziness, nausea, visual disturbances, extreme sensitivity to light, smell, touch, sound, as well as numbness or tingling in the face. The symptoms radiate from the top of the head descending.

Treatment: It has been shown that many migraine patients benefit from the use of omega-3 fatty acids,vitamin B12 (riboflavin), andmagnesium. Involve sufficient amounts of them in your diet in order to prevent migraines.

God Loves You

God Loves You!

The Bible says,"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"

The problem is that...
All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.
The Bible says"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says"The wages of sin is death."

The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,
God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins."God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us."

Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior.
Jesus said"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me."

God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child."As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name."You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior.
If you want to accept Christ as your Savior and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:

"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always."

Mission Biodigester Toilets

“Biodigester toilets can free us from these problems,” says Singh. The zero-waste biodigester technology breaks down human excreta into usable water and gas through anaerobic process. It does not have any geographical or temperature limitation and also does away with the need to set up large sewerage networks. The experiments to develop bio-toilets were started by DRDO around 20 years ago. “We wanted to design toilets for forces deployed at high altitudes as human excreta was becoming a big problem there,” says W Selvamurthy, chief controller of research and development division at DRDO. In areas like Ladakh, deep pits are dug for defecation. Once the tank is full it is emptied in fields. The waste has chances of mixing with melting snow that feed rivers downstream. In freezing conditions, the waste is collected and then incinerated which requires energy and labour. “But no bacteria were functioning in cold conditions,” says Selvamurthy. DRDO then decided to send scientists to Antarctica under India’s 13th Antarctic Mission in 1994 to look for microorganisms that can break down excreta. “After screening we found a variety of psychrotrophic bacteria like Clostridium and Methanosarcina,” he says. These bacteria can live in cold or hot climate and feed on waste to survive.
The bacteria were then cultured in the DRDO lab in Gwalior and tested at various altitudes and temperatures. They worked in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 55°C. To use it in a toilet, a tank was fitted below the commode to collect the excreta. The tank made of cement had sheets with bacteria embedded in it and free-floating bacteria. The bacteria cannot move out of the sheets but can multiply. When human excreta comes in contact with bacteria, it gets converted into methane and water through a series of steps of anaerobic digestion—hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis and methanogenesis.
Faecal matter is composed of carbohydrates, protein and fats. In the first step, they are converted into simple sugars, amino acids and fatty acids. In the next step, these break to form carbonic acid, alcohols, hydrogen and water. In the third step, acetic acid, hydrogen and carbon dioxide is formed. In the last step, methane, carbon dioxide and water are formed. “Methane can be used for cooking while water for irrigation,” says Singh. The best part is that once applied, the bacteria can work for a lifetime.
The first bio-toilet was set up in Ladakh in 1994. “Since then, 159 more have been constructed in high altitude regions like Ladakh and Siachen. We have enough evidence to show they are working efficiently,” says Singh. DRDO along with Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry has also set up six biodigester toilets at Dhamra district in Odisha in June. Every day around 150 people use these toilets. In July, DRDO and Union rural development ministry signed an MOU to build 100,000 biodigester toilets in 300 gram panchayats of the country in the next two years under the Centre’s flagship Total Sanitation Mission. Indian railways has also signed an agreement with DRDO to retrofit these toilets in 50,000 coaches over five years.
Tailored for specific use To suit different geographical requirements, DRDO has also made various design modifications in the biodigester toilets. For example, to avoid choking of toilets in railways because of people throwing non-biodegradable plastics, like bottles, a special lid has been constructed. On pushing the flush, the flap opens and the bottles fall on the track. The excreta enters through a separate opening into the digester tank.
The tank has several chambers to provide more surface area to hasten biodegradation. The chambers increase retention time of the waste in places where water table is high, like in Lakshwadeep or homes and offices where people flush frequently. In glaciers where the temperature is as low as -40°C, the toilet is fitted with solar panels of 240 watt to keep the excreta warm for processing. Design changes are also being worked for toilets in houseboats in Srinagar to avoid water contamination. One biodigester toilet costs Rs 15,000. “The cost will come down with increase in scale,” says Selvamurthy.

People Who Avoid Failure Inevitably Avoid Success

History tells us that while attempting to invent the incandescence light bulb, Thomas Edison, the world famous American Inventor, failed 10,000 times.
After 5,000 failed experiments, his laboratory attendant said to him; “Mr. Edison, we have failed 5,000 times, shouldn’t we stop?” Mr. Edison replied; “Son, we have not failed 5,000 times, we have only discovered 5,000 ways in which it cannot work. We are closer to the solution now than when we started.”
Success is the achievement of predetermined goals. But how do you respond when things do not go the way you planned? Do you feel discouraged and depressed? Does it make you want to quit? Everybody wants to succeed, no one wants to fail. However, our knowledge of success cannot be complete without knowing how to handle failure.

Successful people see failure as a stepping stone, not a stumbling block. They have the right attitude that failure will neither be fatal nor final. They refer to their failure as “learning experiences” or “temporary setbacks”.

On the other hand, unsuccessful people are usually those who are so afraid of failure and rejection that they spend their lives avoiding the risks that could result in failure. They do not realize that those who avoid failure inevitably avoid success.

Don’t be afraid to fail. Success will not come without you taking a risk.
Don’t let what you have done label you negatively. That you failed an interview, an examination or a sales pitch does not make you a failure. Who you are is different from what you have done.

Don’t say to yourself; “I am a failure” just because things did not work out right. If you do that, you have internalized your failure. If you allow failure to get into your heart, it will follow you everywhere.
A key thing to note is that failure is usually a sign that you need to change something. If things are not working, something is out of place.

Be willing to make adjustments prayerfully. Just a small change can result in an outstanding breakthrough.
Always remember that failure is not peculiar to you. Most successful people can write volumes on how not to succeed. They have tried many things that did not work. However, the world has not recognized them for the many ventures in which they failed. No. They have been recognized for the few areas in which they have achieved outstanding success.

Dear friend, as you travel on the road to success, you will have challenges. If you get knocked down, are you going to give up and stay down, wallowing in your defeat? Or are you going to get back on your feet as quickly as you can? You can use failure as a springboard to success.
Stay blessed.

The Untold Story of the Impeachment of Governor Rashidi Ladoja in Oyo State

Steve Owaduge, 2016

Introduction

The impeachment of Governor Rashidi Ladoja of Oyo State in January 2006 remains one of the most controversial episodes in Nigeria’s democratic experiment under the Fourth Republic. It provides a case study of how patron–client politics, institutional weaknesses, and the instrumentalization of violence by political elites undermined constitutional democracy. Far from being a purely legal exercise of legislative oversight, the impeachment was deeply enmeshed in the struggle between Ladoja and his erstwhile political benefactor, Chief Lamidi Adedibu, who commanded extensive influence within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and maintained a vast network of street-level enforcers through the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). The involvement of the Deputy Governor, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, and the tacit support of President Olusegun Obasanjo further complicated the crisis, raising questions about the role of godfatherism, federal interference, and political violence in Nigerian governance. This essay reconstructs the untold story of the impeachment, examining the political feud, the manipulation of legislative procedures, the role of violent actors, and the eventual judicial reversal that shaped Nigeria’s democratic jurisprudence.

Political Background: The Ladoja–Adedibu Fallout

Rashidi Ladoja was elected governor in 2003 under the platform of the PDP, largely through the influence of Chief Lamidi Adedibu, a political strongman popularly dubbed the “garrison commander” of Ibadan politics (Human Rights Watch [HRW], 2007). Adedibu’s role as a kingmaker was openly acknowledged by the PDP national chairman, Ahmadu Ali, who insisted that Ladoja should consult Adedibu in all political decisions (HRW, 2007). The alliance soon disintegrated over control of patronage, with disputes centering on appointments, contracts, and the allocation of motor park revenues, an important economic and political resource in Oyo State (Omotola, 2007). Ladoja resisted Adedibu’s demands for a greater share of state patronage, prompting Adedibu to mobilize his extensive political machinery against the governor. President Obasanjo, who was engaged in consolidating power for his controversial third-term agenda, appeared to align with Adedibu, thereby isolating Ladoja within the national party structure (Albert, 2005).

Political Violence and the Role of NURTW Factions

The battle between Ladoja and Adedibu was not waged solely in the realm of party politics. Both factions relied heavily on the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) to enforce their authority on the streets. Rival gangs controlled by NURTW warlords became proxies in the political contest. Lateef Akinsola, popularly known as “Tokyo,” was a staunch ally of Adedibu and Alao-Akala, and his faction played a prominent role in violently confronting Ladoja’s supporters (HRW, 2007). In contrast, Wasilu Adegboyega (“Tawa”) aligned with Ladoja, but his followers were subjected to targeted attacks, including his abduction and assault by pro-Tokyo gangs (Ojo, 2010). Another figure, Lateef Salako (“Eleweomo”), emerged as a notorious enforcer, reportedly deployed during the legal tussles surrounding Ladoja’s reinstatement (ThisDay, 2006). These violent confrontations resulted in injuries, abductions, and political assassinations, reflecting the extent to which political thuggery had become institutionalized in Oyo politics. The deployment of violence was not incidental but central to sustaining political control and intimidating opponents, thereby undermining democratic competition.

The Impeachment Process and Constitutional Breaches

The legislative removal of Ladoja was orchestrated through irregular and unconstitutional means. In December 2005, a faction of the Oyo State House of Assembly, often referred to as the “G-18,” convened at D’Rovans Hotel in Ibadan rather than at the constitutionally designated Assembly chambers (Inakoju v. Adeleke, 2006). In these extrajudicial sittings, they introduced articles of impeachment against the governor. By 12 January 2006, the faction had declared Ladoja impeached and swiftly swore in his deputy, Adebayo Alao-Akala, as governor (HRW, 2007). However, the impeachment process violated key provisions of Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution, including the requirement for a two-thirds majority of all Assembly members, proper service of allegations on the governor, and the conduct of proceedings in the official legislative venue (Akinsanya & Idowu, 2011). These breaches underscored the extent to which constitutional safeguards could be manipulated in the pursuit of political objectives.

Federal Involvement and the Role of Obasanjo

President Obasanjo’s role in the impeachment crisis remains contested but significant. While he did not directly order the removal of Ladoja, his tacit support for Adedibu and Alao-Akala emboldened the factional lawmakers. Ladoja himself repeatedly alleged that his refusal to endorse Obasanjo’s third-term ambition contributed to his removal (Akinola, 2014). Moreover, the federal government’s security apparatus failed to intervene to prevent the unconstitutional impeachment, thereby signaling Abuja’s complicity. The crisis thus illustrates how federal executive power was indirectly deployed to settle intra-party disputes and discipline disloyal governors. It also reflected the dynamics of godfatherism, whereby local strongmen like Adedibu were empowered by federal patronage to dominate state politics (Omilusi, 2015).

Judicial Reversal and the Restoration of Ladoja

The judiciary eventually emerged as the decisive arbiter in the impeachment crisis. On 1 November 2006, the Court of Appeal in Ibadan declared the impeachment null and void, ruling that the House of Assembly had failed to comply with constitutional provisions (Ojo, 2010). The decision was upheld by the Supreme Court on 7 December 2006 in the landmark case Inakoju v. Adeleke (SC.272/2006). The Court emphasized strict adherence to the procedures outlined in Section 188, thereby setting a precedent that curtailed the arbitrary use of impeachment as a political weapon (Nwabueze, 2007). Following the judgment, Ladoja was reinstated on 12 December 2006 under heavy police protection, though the underlying political tensions persisted. His reinstatement was short-lived, as he completed only a few months in office before the 2007 elections returned Alao-Akala as governor with Adedibu’s backing.

Implications for Nigerian Democracy

The impeachment of Ladoja highlights the fragility of Nigeria’s democratic institutions in the face of entrenched patronage networks, federal interference, and the weaponization of violence. The crisis demonstrated how state assemblies could be manipulated to serve the interests of powerful political godfathers rather than act as independent guardians of the constitution. It also underscored the role of non-state actors, particularly transport unions and political thugs, in shaping electoral and governance outcomes. Yet, the judiciary’s intervention provided a measure of resilience, affirming the supremacy of constitutional processes over partisan scheming. The decision in Inakoju v. Adeleke remains a milestone in Nigerian constitutional jurisprudence, serving as a safeguard against the misuse of impeachment powers.

Conclusion

The untold story of Governor Rashidi Ladoja’s impeachment reveals more than a personal feud between a governor and his godfather; it encapsulates the broader challenges of Nigerian democracy, including the corrosive influence of godfatherism, the fusion of politics with violence, and the complicity of federal power in subverting due process. While the judiciary’s eventual nullification of the impeachment reaffirmed the rule of law, the episode exposed the institutional weaknesses that allow political elites to weaponize state institutions and non-state actors for personal gain. In the final analysis, the Ladoja impeachment saga serves as both a cautionary tale and a landmark in Nigeria’s democratic trajectory: a cautionary tale of how easily democratic structures can be hijacked by patronage and coercion, and a landmark of judicial intervention that, at least temporarily, preserved constitutionalism amidst pervasive political lawlessness.

How Much Money Will Make You Financially Free?

In 2003, Mike Tyson, a former world heavyweight boxing champion was broke and filed for bankruptcy. This was in spite of the fact that he became a world champion at the age of 20 and earned a whopping $470 million! How did he become broke after earning such an amount of money?

A close look will reveal that Tyson’s undoing was his mind-set. Psychologists call it cognitive restructuring.
He grew up in the slums of Brooklyn, New York. The slum has its own culture; prevailing way of thinking. Unfortunately, when he began to earn millions of dollars, his old way of thinking remained with him.

He did not invest in stocks or in real estate. He did not know how to start and run businesses. His mind, instead of being an asset, became a liability.

Tyson’s story holds a big lesson for you and me. We cannot rise beyond the level of our thoughts. Given the fact that poverty and wrong thinking have become part of our culture, we must find a way to escape its mental trap.

Do you know that everyone has the opportunity to be prosperous but many people eat their seed money?

This is exactly the case of Mike Tyson. If you spend all you earn whether as a business person or an employee, you are eating your seed money.

What you have that you think is not enough, is actually enough. Try and cut down on your expenses. Learn to separate your need from your want.
