THE MIRACLE MEAL

When you hear the world miracle meal, what comes to your mind? The world can bring different thoughts or meanings to heart. So many people around the world have different perceptions of this term. Most times, their perceptions are highly influenced and based on their understandings, experiences, and thoughts from their subconscious mind.

To Christians, the miracle meal refers to the Holy Communion. According to the bible, the miracle meal otherwise known as the last supper was taken with Jesus before he was betrayed by one of his disciples. (Matt 26:17- 30)

Some Christians see the Holy Communion as something that binds or seals their covenant with God. In some cases, people who have been expectant for a miracle use the last supper to seal covenants with God.

Some other Christians believe in the healing power of this meal. They believe it is some sort of supernatural emblem that has significance in the spirit and when they take it, they get cleansed from all of their sicknesses and diseases.

Other Christians believe in its protection power. These set of people have come to the understanding that when they take the communion, it protects them from whatever evil may come their way. They believe that the communion is a shield from attacks in the spiritual realm.

However, the understanding one has about this meal is dependent on his or her mind. As the bible says that “as a man thinketh in his heart so is it.” So the communion works for you based on what you think and believe.

HAPPINESS

AKINTOBI DANIEL TEMILAYO

Individuals all through the ages have made this inquiry. They pondered what is this sentiment bliss, what influences it to emerge, and how to hold it longer.  Is HAPPINESS a physical response, the impact of specific hormones in the body? Is it subject to certain outer conditions, or is it some sort of internal, mental, passionate or state? All these could be triggers that prompt encountering it. HAPPINESS frequently travels every which way. It comes, remains for a brief period, and after that some negative inclination replaces it and it is no more. Does this imply we have no control of bliss and we can’t stretch its term?

Wikipedia characterizes satisfaction as, “HAPPINESS is a psychological or passionate condition of prosperity which can be characterized by, among others, positive or lovely feelings going from happiness to extreme delight.” Wikipedia additionally says, “Logicians and religious masterminds regularly characterize satisfaction as far as carrying on with a decent life, or prospering, instead of just as a feeling.”

Merriam Webster characterizes satisfaction as, “A condition of prosperity and happiness.”

http://www.vocabulary.com says, “Bliss is that believing that comes over you when you know life is great and you can’t resist the urge to grin. It’s the inverse of misery.”

I might want to propose another definition to bliss, which I found as a matter of fact. This is an alternate definition and importance, which I have expounded on in a few articles and in my books. “Bliss is a condition of inward euphoria, which comes to fruition when the psyche turns out to be sans calm from fretful reasoning and stresses.” Individuals, who have been honing reflection frequently, and who have figured out how to quiet down their brain, would know precisely what I mean.

A COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS

Looking at the life of a cockroach, most people would say that it has a complete life. It starts off as an egg, then goes on to become a larvae, then a pupae and finally it becomes an adult cockroach. Just like the metamorphosis of the cockroach, we humans also have our own form of complete metamorphosis. We get born, go through the stages of infancy to adolescence, and pass through puberty till we finally enter the world of adult hood. However, there are some people who do not complete their metamorphosis or who complete theirs too early. We see people getting lost to sicknesses, committing suicides, having unfortunate accidents. There is this popular saying that “life is too short to waste away”. This is true when thinking about. As long as we are on this earth, we have to make use of whatever time we have left to achieve the most we can because we never know when our own metamorphosis would be complete.

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT

Ever heard of the theory called the butterfly effect? Maybe you’ve heard of it but you don’t know what it is. The butterfly effect is a theory which says that the little things which happen in a person’s life affects the overall ‘big picture’ of that person’s life. This means that the little things that people do which may seem like they don’t matter somehow affect the totality of that person’s life. This phenomenon drives on the fact that no matter how small an issue is in a person’s life or how little an event is, it has an overall effect on that person. It is important for people to take note of whatever small changes that happens in their life and not just brush it aside because this theory says that whether we like it or not, such small events or happenings would affect our lives in the long run.

Easter Festival in Nigeria: Celebrating God in a Difficult Economy

Easter is an important Christian celebration that marks the beginning of hope for the church. It is a day that Christians mark the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Easter is a public holiday in Nigeria, a country which is deeply religious country with a population that is evenly divided into almost equal numbers of Christians and Muslims.

Easter is a joyful occasion commemorating Christ’s victory of death and his ascension into heaven to take his place on the right hand of the father. It is also a time of feasting, singing, dancing, and drumming.

In many ways Easter celebrations in Nigeria are like those in other parts of the Christian world. However, there are also some festivals and celebrations held that are unique to Nigeria. Some of those celebrations combine the pre-Christian practices of honoring dead ancestors along with the worship of the resurrected Christ.

Good Friday is observed with somber, prayerful gatherings at local churches. Some of the Easter Sunday celebrations see people take to the streets in colorful traditional costumes dancing and singing songs of joy, happiness, and salvation. The festivities have a very distinct West African flavor.

Only about 40% of Nigerians are Christians. They are primarily from the Igbo and Yoruba people. While there are Christians living throughout the country, the majority of them live in the southern part of Nigeria. Hence, the livelier Easter celebrations take place in the south of the country. They include song and dance, all-night vigils, and sunrise services.

The 8 days between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday are known as Holy Week. They include Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Gloria Saturday. That week is also called the Passion of Christ. It comes at the end of a 40 day period dedicated to fasting, prayer, penance, and contemplation known as Lent.

Easter is a movable feast. It does not fall on the same date each year. The First Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. established Easter Sunday as being determined by the lunisolar calendar. It is held on the first Sunday after the new moon on the March equinox.

Easter celebrations are very important to Christians in Nigeria. There are no Easter eggs or bunnies. Instead, Easter is a time family members travel from far and wide so the family can be together to celebrate the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Christ Jesus. Families gather together, pray, and remember the sacrifices of Jesus throughout Holy Week. Everyone is expected to make it home by Good Friday to attend church together.

Everywhere one turns the one finds men, women, boys, girls irrespective of tribe or creed lamenting the prevailing economic hardship and the attendant high prices of food items in the country. Staple foods such as rice, beans, pepper, tomatoes, onions, vegetable oils, Palm oil are now out of the reach of average Nigerians.

A recent market survey conducted in some markets in Lagos reveal that prices of some foodstuffs are now higher than what they were in the previous year even during a period of fuel scarcity that adversely affected the distribution of goods and services. Random investigations in the last week show that a 50 kilogram bag of rice, a popular staple now sells for N16, 000 as against its price of N11, 000 last Easter. A bag of beans is now N39, 000 as against N21, 500 in 2015.

However, Unlike Christmas which goes with much funfair and commercial activities, Easter is more solemn in nature. Having faithful dedicated themselves to a 40-day period of fasting, repentance and abstinence; it is only natural that activities of the preceding days still carry with it some elements of solemnity and penitence.

According to the Catholic cleric, while it is true that the economy is still in a dicey state, it is not expected, however, to dampen the spirituality associated with Easter. As Christians, one is not expected to take care of the body only. One must give prime priority of the soul which is the real essence of who they are. While it is good to eat and nourish the body with good food, etc. One must equally nourish the souls by constantly reading the word of God, talking to God in prayer and meditation and also striving to live righteously.

DIABETES AND HYPERTENSION: THE SILENT KILLER

To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear thus sickness and disease like diabetics and hypertension renders one in a vegetative state. Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes or silent killer is a group of metabolic disorders in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. – It is call the silent killer because it can manifest itself in a person for a long time without showing any symptoms till it has gotten very worse. Makes me remember the Yoruba adage which goes “Kokoro ton je efo, inu efo lowa”… The insect that eats the vegetable, lives in the vegetable,

Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced. There are three main types of diabetes mellitus: Type 1 diabetes accounts for about 5 percent of diabetes cases, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin. With the help of insulin therapy, anyone can learn to manage and live with type 1 diabetes. Symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, and increased hunger.

According to the ADA, type 2 diabetes accounts for at least 90 percent of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. Risk factors are family history, prior gestational diabetes during pregnancy, impaired glucose intolerance, lack of exercise, and being overweight. Gestational diabetes is the third main form, and occurs when pregnant women without a previous history of diabetes develop high blood sugar levels. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease caused by deficiency in insulin secretion and by decreased sensitivity of the organs to secreted insulin. These shortcomings results in attendant diabetic complications such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, postprandial hyperglycemia and diabetic neuropathy.

Hypertension also known as high blood pressure is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease.  Hypertension or high blood pressure is one of the long-term complications of diabetes. Both are interrelated metabolic diseases.

Diabetics and hypertension in one of the global health concerns shaking up the world. The prevalence of this disease is increasing annually and the number of diabetics is projected to rise above 300 million before 2025. This disease can be inherited or acquired. The combination of hypertension and diabetes can be lethal, and together they can increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. Having both conditions also increases the risk of kidney disease and problems the blood vessels of the eyes, which could lead to blindness.

Hypertension and diabetes generally coexist because they share similar risk factors, including being overweight, following an unhealthy diet, and living an inactive lifestyle. When hypertension and diabetes co-exist, the effects of one disease tend to make the other worse. This makes for a deadly combination.

Uncontrolled diabetes is not the only risk factor for hypertension. The chances of having a heart attack or stroke are further multiplied if other risk factors exist, in addition to diabetes. Some of them  include: having a family history of heart disease, stress, having a high fat or high sodium diet, not being active, advanced age, being overweight, smoking, overconsumption of alcohol, low levels of potassium or vitamin D, having another chronic condition, such as sleep apnea, kidney disease or inflammatory arthritis.

There are several preventive measures such as weight loss, drinking alcohol in moderation, not smoking, Treatment with medication, Healthy diet choices like the saying, ‘You are what you eat’. Regularly checking your blood pressure is vital, as there will usually be no symptoms to make you aware of the condition. People with diabetes should try to minimize these risks as far as possible, for example, by choosing a healthy lifestyle. Healthy Lifestyle factors are the best way to lower the risk of high blood pressure and to maintain normal levels. There is a wide body of evidence, which demonstrates that controlling blood pressure in people with diabetes reduces the risk of complications.

Learning about the disease and actively participating in the treatment is important, since complications are far less common and less severe in people who have well-managed blood sugar levels. People with or without diabetes can benefit from education about the disease and treatment, good nutrition to achieve a normal body weight, and exercise, with the goal of keeping both short-term and long-term blood glucose levels within acceptable bounds. There are several awareness programs educating  people on ways to reduce the risk of having this disease, how to  identify early symptoms- similar to the expression, ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’, self-monitor via finger stick testing, the signs of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and other diabetic complications.

Adapt the remedy to the disease. This is a popular Chinese saying, in essence, being a patient of diabetics and hypertension is not the end of life, life goes on, if you would live long, open your heart, all that is necessary to do is to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Water Pollution

Over two thirds of Earth’s surface is covered by water; less than a third is taken up by land. As Earth’s population continues to grow, people are putting ever-increasing pressure on the planet’s water resources. In a sense, oceans, rivers, and other inland waters are being “squeezed” by human activities not so they take up less room, but so their quality is reduced. Poorer water quality means water pollution.

Pollution is a human problem because it is a relatively recent development in the planet’s history: before the 19th century Industrial Revolution, people lived more in harmony with their immediate environment. As industrialization has spread around the globe, so the problem of pollution has spread with it.

When Earth’s population was much smaller, no one believed pollution would ever present a serious problem. It was once popularly believed that the oceans were far too big to pollute. Today, with around 7 billion people on the planet, it has become apparent that there are limits. Pollution is one of the signs that humans have exceeded those limits.

Pollution from toxic chemicals threatens life on this planet. Every ocean and every continent, from the tropics to the once-pristine Polar Regions, is contaminated. Throughout the world, human use of water and bad planning have led to drier and polluted rivers, lakes, and groundwater resources with dramatic effects on the natural ecosystems. Nigeria’s vast freshwater resources are among those most affected by environmental stress imposed by human population growth, urbanization, and industrialization.

Disposal and management of wastes in Nigeria present serious environmental problems. The usual methods of waste disposal in the country are: land filling, dumpsites, land spreads, water disposal, and incineration. Each of these methods has serious environmental implications because of their potential to pollute and contaminate underground and surface water bodies in the country.

Major cities in Nigeria face serious water pollution crises, in which lack of environmental control of water-dependent activities (including domestic, agricultural, and industrial) play an important part. Fish and marine resources in the country face total collapse or extinction, due to over-fishing and destruction of marine life and natural habitats by pollution of water bodies.

Unregulated and excessive use of pesticides for fishing and the deliberate disposal and dumping of toxic and hazardous wastes into water bodies are significant causes of massive fish kills and loss of aquatic life and habitats in the country.

The protection of water quality and aquatic ecosystem as a vulnerable resource, essential to sustain life, development and environment is of utmost importance to prevent further pollution and degradation of Nigeria’s freshwater resources.

There is no easy way to solve water pollution; if there were, it wouldn’t be so much of a problem. Broadly speaking, there are three different things that can help to tackle the problem. There is education, laws, and economics and they work together as a team.

Integrating operational measures for safeguarding adequate levels of protection of endemic habitats remains a major challenge. There is therefore a need to examine in tandem the entire range of uses to which freshwater is put, and to design services which neither squander precious resources nor fail to respect other, competing and complementary water needs.
