Understanding High Blood Pressure and Natural Ways to Support a Healthy Heart in Nigeria

Image
High blood pressure , also known as hypertension , is one of the leading health challenges in Nigeria today. It is called the “silent killer” because it often gives no warning signs until it causes serious damage. Many Nigerians are living with high blood pressure without even knowing it. This post explains what blood pressure is, what causes it, and how you can support your heart health naturally through food, lifestyle, and traditional wellness knowledge. 🌍 What Is Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps. When this pressure remains too high, it forces your heart to work harder, weakening the arteries over time. Doctors measure blood pressure using two numbers: the systolic (upper) and diastolic (lower) readings. A healthy adult usually has a reading around 120/80 mmHg. Anything above 140/90 mmHg may be considered high and needs attention. Because hypertension often has no...

Across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels, millions of users are posting clips of themselves dressed or moving like birds. Some flap gracefully; others squawk and dance in flocks.

Nigeria's Lawless Unions: Onovughe Igwe’s Candid Take

Nigeria and the Burden of Lawless Unions: Onovughe Igwe’s Candid Opinion Written by Onovughe Igwe If you say Nigeria is a lawless country, I totally agree. It is only in Nigeria where entire sectors are shut down because unions disagree with private companies or state governments. The ordinary man on the street pays the ultimate price, while the economy suffers with each round of strikes. According to Onovughe Igwe, lawlessness is entrenched in the way unions wield unchecked power, often beyond their mandate. From the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) to ASUU, PENGASSAN, and even state-level associations, strikes have become the go-to weapon, regardless of the economic impact. Unions vs. National Interest “It’s only in a lawless country where all petrol tankers would be told to stop working because of a dispute with a private oil company. They don’t care about the ordinary man on the street, and they don’t care about the economic impact,” Igwe lamented. He notes how...

These periods are uncomfortable, filled with rising prices, business uncertainty, and inflationary shocks. But they are also the best seasons for citizens to upgrade their skills, reposition their businesses, and prepare for the ‘new nor...
