Coronavirus: Our Health in Nose Masks

As Government partially ease lockdown in various Countries globally, world governments through the United Nations World Health Organisation and several Health Organsations have now advised the use of nose masks in public settings.

Nose and face masks particularly became popular in use since the commencement of the lockdown on movement in various countries across the world in a means to reduce the wide spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Currently there is no clinically proven vaccine for Covid-19 (as at the time of publishing this content), and it appears that several country's economy is crashing down, in order to prevent the crashing of the economy and as well reducing the spread of COVID-19 by the use of nosemasks.

The use of Nose masks as the "New Normal" all across the world and the main question is does the use of a nose mask prevent COVID-19? Although the advise on the use of nosemasks when outside the house in a community setting is way different in various Countries. In Asia Countries, the wearing of nose masks in public has been a new normal since the outbreak of COVID-19.

In some European countries like Austria, Spain and the UK, there are enforcement on the use of nose masks in public gathering,

In some African countries like Nigeria where lockdown has been partially eased the use of Nose masks is enforced in order to prevent the wide spread of respiratory infectious disease such as the COVID-19.

The use of Nose masks is not an alternative to staying at home when you feel sick, the Government advised that when feel sick staying at home (self isolation) is one of the best way to reduce the spread of the virus. And it is not an alternative for hygiene such as washing the hand with soap and alcohol based hand sanitizer.

What experts Say about Nosemasks in prevention of COVID-19.

According to Prof Trish Greenhalgh, the professor of primary Health Care sciences, Niffield department of primary care health sciences, the University of Oxford. He said; 'The science on this is clear: Covid-19 is most commonly transmitted by droplets emitted when we cough, sneeze, shout, sing and even just breathe in close proximity to others. Cloth face coverings are highly effective at blocking droplets coming out of the mouth and nose. They’re not perfect, but if you can stop 90 or 95% of the droplets this will cause a very dramatic reduction in the number of people who catch the virus'.

'Face coverings, which can be made out of a double layer of cloth, are a crucially important measure for bringing the country out of lockdown, since in reality few of us can get properly back to work without getting within 2 metres of other people (either while travelling to work or in offices and factories). We can’t stay behind our front doors forever, and nobody wants a second wave of Covid-19, so covering our faces will become the new normal in public places, workplaces and on public transport.'


However, World Health Organization (WHO) published on April 6,2020 stated that "wearing a nosemask in the public is one of the means and measures to prevent and limit the spread of certain respiratory disease including the COVID-19. Importantly, WHO warns that facemasks and nosemasks are not a replacement for other protective such as Social distancing combined with other measures such as hygiene.

History: List of Ondo City Kings who were Dethroned

 10. Osemawe of Ondo - Oba Adekolurejo Jimosun II (Otutubiosun)

The Oba whose reign was from 1918 to 1925 was removed and banished to lle-Ife in 1925, where he lived and died. It was during the reign of Oba Jimosun that Ondo town had its first secondary school, called Ondo boys high school.

11. Osemawe of Ondo - Oba Adenuga Fidipote

17. Olowo of Owo - Oba Olateru Olagbegi II

Unarguably the richest and most influential Olowo of Owo town in Ondo state, Oba Olateru became Olowo in 1941 and reigned till 1966 when he took side with Chief S.L Akintola against Chief Awolowo who was his ally. Of a fact, Awolowo Action Group party was founded right inside Olowo palace and Owo for years experienced political and kingship battle, which came to a climax in 1966 following a cold blooded coup with many properties and lives lost in the course. The people of Owo revolted their King and sent him away on exile where he lived for another 27yrs, and his stool was taken over by Oba Ogunoye. At the demise of Ogunoye, Olateru was reappointed as the new Olowo of Owo in 1993 and spent another 5yrs on the throne till he died in 1998. His eldest son, took over from him in 1999 and reigned for 20yrs.

18. Deji of Akure - Oba Oluwadamilare Adesina Osupa III

The inglorious exit of Oba Oluwadamilare as Paramount king of Akure is another reminder of the importance of carriage and conduct in kingship, as they are seen as leaders and role models. The king was deposed on 10th of June, 2010 following the beating of his estranged wife at her home in Akure, in what the Ondo state government referred to as, a dishonorable, condemnable and disgraceful conduct unexpected of a king which invoked a section of the state chieftaincy law of 1984 as amended. With an immediate action, a new Deji of Akure Adebiyi Adeshida Afunbiowo II was announced on 13th of August 2010.

Other Kings dethroned are;

As a result of this prolonged observation, Next African President is using an Oratory approach as a means to broaden the knowledge gaps amidst young minds on societal and developmental issues. Apart from ensuring that the young populace contributes to arising societal issues through value-driven opinions, it will also ensure that they gain access to practical aspect of the theoretical subjects as they are long used to in the present day educational system.

To launch this programme, Lead Footprints Africa is engaging a social media campaign tagged "Throw back to Secondary school". According to the  release, the social media campaign seeks to create awareness on the essence of the program, Next African President.

The Next African President Contest will take a stage process. At the initial stage, participants from each school are expected to carry out a research on the program's theme (21st Century Leadership) and provide recommendations from their research. The second stage will involve a brainstorm by the students on a different topic. At this stage, participants are required to come up with supportive points.

Ex-Real Madrid Striker Becomes First-ever Footballer Bought with Bitcoin

Former Real Madrid B striker, David Barral has become the first-ever player to be bought using cryptocurrency.

The 37-year-old striker officially signed for Spanish third division side, DUX Internacional de Madrid in a deal that was entirely funded with Bitcoin.

The club did not disclose the total value of the deal but revealed that the milestone was made possible by their new sponsor, Criptan, a local cryptocurrency exchange.

"David Barral new player of DUX Internacional de Madrid, welcome to the infinite club! He becomes the first signing in history in cryptocurrencies. Thanks to Criptan, our new sponsor, for making it possible."

Internacional shared on its social media pages.

Although Internacional is the first-ever football club to fund a transfer entirely through the use of Bitcoin, it is not the first time cryptocurrency has been used in professional sports.

In December 2020, Carolina Panthers offensive tackle, Russell Okung signed a deal to have exactly half of his NFL salary paid in Bitcoin. He was the first high-profile athlete in the United States to be paid with the cryptocurrency.

According to Okung, getting paid in Bitcoin is the first step of opting out of the corrupt, manipulated economy. He has also encouraged other professional sports stars to do the same.

Similarly, Internacional new signing, David Barral has expressed excitement over the transfer and without reservation for the fact that Bitcoin was used.

"I am happy to join this project, with desire, ambition and responsibility to continue competing and achieve important challenges in my sports career."

Before joining Internacional, Barral made more than 50 appearances for Real Madrid's reserve side. He later enjoyed spells with the likes of Sporting Gijon, Levante and most recently, Racing Santander.

According to tech experts, the purchase of Barral by Internacional marks the unique beginning of the use of Bitcoin in football. There are claims that given the recent rise and investor confidence in the cryptocurrency, it wouldn't be surprising if more football teams follow in their steps.

Coronavirus: The Positive Side On Public Health Systems

Coronavirus, otherwise known as COVID-19, broke out in  Wuhan City, China late December 2019. At the time, many people did not pay much attention towards the infectious disease until early this year when the spread of the disease became practically uncontrollable, spreading rapidly from its originating country to other countries and territories of the world while claiming lives. The world's attention has now been drawn towards this infectious disease.

The highly contagious disease comes with the possibility of causing severe respiratory infections such as a running nose, high fever, tiredness, dry cough and in some cases sore throat and  diarrhea, causing infected patient to have difficulty in breathing. Having achieved  a pandemic state, the World Health Organization  (WHO) and Centres for Disease Control (CDCs) across the world, have issued guidelines for managing the problem from biomedical and psychological points of view, with the provision of funds ,medical supports and encouragement to the workers in the Health sector.

 

One positive result of the Coronavirus pandemic is in the fact that World government leaders have diverted  attention and focus towards the Health sector by providing necessary medical supplies to various Countries and Territories which have been affected by the virus.

Also, world business giants such as Elon Musk (founder SpaceX), Jack Ma (Co-founder Alibaba group) and other notable figures  have contributed their part  in order to treat and prevent the wide spread of this disease. The notable provision of medical supplies such as Ventilators, personal protective equipment, Rapid test kits among others makes a mark for the health sector here.

Upon the outbreak of novel Corona virus in Nigeria in February, the Nigeria public health sector has been highly recognized. Recently, the World bank released $82 million to support the Nigeria public health sector and the federal government of Nigeria as well gas provided #102 Billion for intervention in the health care sector, the Nigeria Center for Diseases Control (NCDC) through ECOWAS as well, has well provided 120 ventilators, 240,000 diagnostic kits and other member states.

Also, Special Isolation centers and Quick test laboratories have been set up in some states and has been accredited for use prior to the outbreak of the pandemic disease. The European Union (EU) and other world bodies are as well working hand in hand with scientists and Medical professionals to produce vaccines and medications for the Virus (COVID-19).

Coronavirus: One Year After

Coronavirus, popularly known as COVID-19, broke out in Wuhan City, China as at December 2019. It started out as a sore which was ineffecrively curbed and therefore spread through the whole body. At the time, many people did not pay much attention towards the infectious disease until early 2020 when the spread of the disease became practically uncontrollable, spreading rapidly from its originating country to other countries and territories of the world while claiming lives. The world's attention has now been drawn towards this infectious disease.

Halting business, education and the general existing structure of live, many individuals and organisations have had their share of the lot. Until the later part of 2020, individuals and institutions had

Our Health in Nosemasks

The use of Nose masks as the "New Normal" all across the world birthed questions as to whether its use really prevents COVID-19. It turns out to mean that wearing a mask is only significant for protection, saftey and hygiene. The advice on the use of nosemasks in public places is way different in various Countries. In Asian and European Countries, the wearing of nose masks in public has been a new normal since the outbreak of COVID-19.

While in some African countries like Nigeria where lockdown has been partially eased the use of Nose masks is enforced in order to prevent the wide spread of respiratory infectious disease such as the COVID-19.

The use of masks is not an alternative to staying at home when you feel sick (self isolation). At the same time, it is not an alternative for hygiene such as washing the hand with soap and alcohol based hand sanitizers.

COVID -19 Palliatives

In October 2020, the #EndSARs protests erupted across the country where individuals requested better governance and a total reform of the Nigerian Police force. This was as a result of the many deaths ensuing from the extra-judicial activities of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad. Shortly after, there was a discovery of the first palliative warehouse and many others.

 

While many believe that the discovery of the palliative store houeses was a distraction from the revolution that was coming, it was much more. It exhumed corrupt practices that are inbuilt and woven into the Nigerian system.

Abayomi Adeola Della, Celebrates Birthday in Orphanage

On Sunday, 23rd August, Life coach, Adeola Abayomi Della hosted children of the Covenant Orphanage Home to a party in celebration of her 22nd birthday.

The party which held following the COVID-19 guidelines was sponsored by friends and family to ensure that the children, who have been at the home since the pandemic, were brought under an atmosphere of love and extreme happiness.

According to her, the promotion of love and sharing culture amongst individuals has dropped in recent times, especially as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the reason why she organised a party for the home, giving gifts and food items.

She further noted that happiness levels for various individuals have reduced drastically, coupled with high depression rates. For children, it could generate some boredom and influence social life negatively. 

Malaysian finance ministers have embroiled themselves in fresh circles of corruption .

On Tuesday, a second row of accusations of government corruption broke out in Malaysia following a former Tengku Abdul Aziz Finance Minister requesting that the administration of Eng comply with government contracts inappropriately.



"I dare him reveal something to the Rakyat (Parliament of Malaysia) to evaluate/compare which company has successfully received an invitation to tender, which company has received the tender and which minister applied for projects via direct negotiations."



On Monday before Parliament, Mr Aziz made the allegations that the contracts are worth Ringgit (or 1,58 billion dollars) worth 6,61 billion.

In March after the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan (Hope Alliance) alliance, Mahathir Mohamad resigned as prime minister, he took over as Malaysian finance minister.



Since then, Mr Eng, Minister of Finance of Mahathir, has been charged with corrupting the construction, from Penang Island to Malaysian mainland, of an underwater tunnel.



The allegations date from his time as Chief Minister of the Local Government of Penang between 2008 and 2012.



Nevertheless, Mr Eng denied the allegations he said were motivated politically.



The short-lived Pakatan Harapan government took on the duties of a former Prime Minister, Najib Razak who was jailed for twelve months in July after the elections of May 2018, in part because of allegations of corruption.



After the collapse of the Mahathir-led coalition in February, Mr Razak 's allies returned to power.

Every job has its tool and a tool bag. What would a carpenter do if the hammer is not in his bag while he is on the roof? Or will a captain read the roads without his compass?

Individuals today wet down the importance and need for digitally skills. In many cases where they don't, it is usually underestimated.

Digital skill experts have preached and sensitized many of the global digital future, a certainty that dawns on us daily. With recent developments in technology and how it affects every sphere of life, we may only keep wondering how to find our space and sit in it.

This is why the NELOC Media Academy was birthed- to build a force of digitally skilled individuals who are experts of their own kind from content development, social media, public relations and in other related digital fields.

You do not want to be left out of this digital nation. Add extra skills in your bag today.

TLA Africa Launches Women In Leadership Scholarship, Seeks Women Representation

 

 

The Learnaholics Academy (TLA) Africa has launched its Women in Leadership Scholarship for Young African Women. It is a fully funded and strict application scholarship program for Young African Women who are passionate about learning, growing and leading.

According to Deborah Benjamin, Spokesperson of the Women In Leadership Scholarship Board and Director, TLA School of Leadership in her welcome address during an online Press Briefing to highlight the purpose of the program, the prospects for African women and the society and the progress in planning, she mentioned that the Women In Leadership Program is an highlight of the School of Leadership, a subset of The Learnaholics Academy.

The programme was birthed to raise African women who are inspired, knowledgeable and passionate enough to take on Leadership roles in the social and corporate space as well as represent the female gender equally in all sectors of Impact and development.

It is an annual conference that trains women who are 18 years and above from across Africa, on corporate governance, Community Leadership and pro-activity.

The program is scheduled to hold for five weeks in a closed WhatsApp group and facilitated by seasoned Social Entrepreneurship and Leadership Coaches and experts.

The Learnaholics Academy is a personal and professional development oriented institution, established to raise the bar in helping people create  values that shall propel their personal and professional life. The  Academy adopts both physical and electronic classroom learning mechanisms to accommodate prospective  students far and near. With aims to be an outstanding academic environment where lives are transformed through education and each individual is valued, TLA Africa devises scholarly and innovative accomplishments in personal and professional endeavors

The Women In Leadership program was proposed on the 1st April 2020 and was subjected to scrutiny until it was approved for implementation. The Academy's Centre for Counselling and Human Development (CCHD) and the School of Leadership was directed to manage the program until a Board was formed on the 8th of April 2020 to manage the program.

The Board is an 11-man membership with 7 females and 3 males. According to Mr Tunbosun, the females serve the Implementation unit of the Board while the Males Monitor and Evaluate its activities

The members of the Board are Abimbola Dasola (Board Chairperson), Abayomi Adeola (Deputy Board Chairperson), Adeleye Deborah (Board Secretary-General) and Benjamin Deborah (Board Spokesperson). Other Distinguished Members of the Implementation Unit of the Board are Faith, Adeosun Eniola Mary and Doherty Precious.

 

Also, the Adhoc Members in charge of Monitoring & Evaluation are Mr. Essang Rawlings Myles, Mr. Olalekan Olatunbosun , Mr. Ajani Oluwakayode and Mr. Yusuf Olamilekan 

According to reports from the press briefing, E-application forms for the Scholarship opened from 13th May - 23rd May 2020 and later extended it till 7th June 2020 with applications from across the continent including Africans in Diaspora. Applications were recorded from countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Morocco, Angola, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya, Trinidad and Tobago, Republic of Benin, Afghanistan, Netherlands, Bangladesh, among others with about 75% of the application from Nigeria.

In review of the application results, 49% of the applicants hold leadership positions, 49.8% of the applicants do not hold leadership positions (but plan to) and only 1.2% of the applicants do not hold a leadership position and do not plan to.

A deeper review of applications shows that, most women in leadership are not necessarily there because they want to, many of them just want to prove the male wrong about their perception of them in leadership while some just want to challenge the status quo. Also, the fear of discrimination holds many of them back from attempting leadership in a male-dominated society.

According to Mr Olalekan Olatunbosun, ''it is hoped that at the end of the program, a non-toxic confidence is instilled in them to build effective leadership consciousness in them.''

The Director also mentioned that the training content was designed to visit the history of black women in leadership and peculiar problems they have faced as these problems are intertwined in contemporary leadership efforts of women, 

The women in leadership Scholarship will also cover Business,  Politics,  and other areas women can be adopted into leadership.

TLA Africa started in September 1st 2017 with over 3,000 students and have organized several trainings and certified about 289 persons with Certificate on Proficiency. About 418 persons have received badges and certificate of participation in various short crash courses. The organisation has also organized physical trainings at Ijebu Ode, Ago Iwoye, Ile Ife, Ifo and Lagos while her online classroom is specially hosted at www.thelearnaholicsacademy/eclassroom for global participation.

The Learnaholics Academy functions with School of Law and ethics, School of Health, School of Tech and ICT, School of Leadership and School of personal development. Each of these courses have different materials and directors on ground. Also, the materials are the general Content so it is easy to facilitate offline Classes with the same resources

On the restrictions to Africa, Mr Tunbosun restated that Non-Africans CAN NOT APPLY. In his words, ''one of our brand messages is Empowerment for Africans by Africans However,  for Africans in diaspora we make extra effort to confirm their indignity. We are out to empower Africans. And this time,  it is strictly our women!

While this Cohort admitted 250 participants only, Application has closed and will be reopened  by August 15. Interested participants are advised to apply here

Erectile dysfunction: an overview

When
men become sexually aroused, hormones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels all
work with one another to create an erection. Nerve signals, sent from the brain
to the penis, stimulate muscles to relax. This in turn, allows blood to flow to
the tissue in the penis.

Once
the blood fills the penis and an erection has been achieved, the blood vessels
to the penis close off so that erection is maintained.

Erection
problems occur when you can’t achieve or maintain an erection that is firm
enough to have sexual intercourse. This can be called; erectile dysfunction,
impotence or sexual dysfunction. For most men, these problems occur
occasionally and aren’t a serious problem but if it occurs at least 50% of the
time, you might require medical attention.

 

Symptoms of erectile dysfunction

• Being able to get an erection sometimes,
  but not every time you want to have sex.
• Being able to achieve an erection, but not
  having it last long enough for sex
• Being unable to get an erection at any
  time.

 

Common causes of erection dysfunction

Causes
of erectile dysfunction can be classified into physical cause, psychological
cause or both.

Physical cause:

They
occur because of disorders that affect the nerves and blood vessels responsible
for causing an erection. They include:

• Spinal cord injury
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol: this increase the risk
  of atherosclerosis where the arteries become narrowed and clogged, resulting in
  impaired blood flow. When this happens to the arteries in the penis, it can
  prevent enough blood from reaching the penis to create erection.
• Diabetes: raises risk of erectile
  dysfunction threefold by its effect on nerves and blood vessels.
• Obesity
• Alcoholism
• Atherosclerosis (hardening of the
  arteries)
• Certain medications such as
  antihypertensive drugs (e.g. beta blockers, diuretics), antidepressants, muscle
  relaxers etc.
• Substance abuse: causes damage to the
  blood vessels including those that supplies the penis.
• Long term use of tobacco
• Prostate problems.

Psychological causes:

These
are emotional issues and include:

• Low self-esteem.
• Worry (especially worry over not being
  able to achieve and maintain an erection)
• Prolonged emotional distress relating to
  economy, professional or social issues.
• Relationship conflicts
• Depression: this can cause lack of
  interest in sex. Consult your doctor if you are experiencing this.

 

DIAGNOSING ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

Testing
for erectile dysfunction can involve a variety of steps, including physical
examination, health and sexual history.

Psychological history taking

 Your doctor will ask you some questions which
may include:

• How long you have been experiencing
  erectile dysfunction.
• Are you having any problems with feeling
  sexual desire, ejaculating, or reaching orgasm?
• How often do you have sex?
• How firm are your erections and is it
  affected by any stimulation or a particular stimulation?
• Do you wake up in the morning or in the
  middle of the night with erections?
• Have you recently been experiencing lot of
  stress?
• Do you have any underlying condition or
  have you had surgery on or injury to your pelvic area?

Additional test

• Ultrasound:
  to
  examine the blood vessels of the penis to determine if there is a problem with
  penis blood flow.
• Injection
  test: during this test, a medication is inserted into your
  penis to stimulate an erection. This allows the doctor to evaluate the firmness
  of the erection and how long it lasts.
•  Urine
  test:  to check for
  conditions such as diabetes
• Blood
  tests: to check for conditions such as diabetes, heart
  disease, testosterone level.
