How to Identify Plastic Rice

Because of the numerous health risks of ingesting plastic rice, its therefore expedient that we know how to differentiate between real rice and the plastic version.

There are several ways to do this and they are very easy to perform. The include but are not limited to:

1. WATER TEST: Take one glass or bowl of water and drop some rice in it, then stir. If the rice is fake, it will float at the top because the fake rice will definitely float in water as most plastics do.

2. FIRE TEST: Take rice and simply burn it. If any rice is made with plastic then it will come out with the plastic smell and most will melt.

3. MOULD TEST: Simply boil some of the rice, then just leave it like 2-3 days without refrigerating or warming it . If rice is plastic, then it will not have fungi as it will remain same.

4. BOILING TEST: Observe rice during the boiling time. If it's plastic, it will form a thick layer at the top of the pan.

These tricks are simple and easy, so you can try them at home. Plastic Rice can be found out very easily. Be careful as it can cause so many health implications, please let's be wise this yuletide season and all round.

5.HOT OIL TEST: Take some rice and drop into very hot oil. If its a plastic rice, the rice will melt and stick together under the pot or container.

Now that you know, Pass it on and save lives and money. Don't forget to comment and let your voice be heard.

MMM On A Mannequin Challenge.

The money-box scheme called MMM that started in Russia was introduced to Nigerians via  MMM Nigeria when the country was said to be at the peak of what many described as the worst recession in Nigeria's economic history.

The Danger of Malicious Apps On Facebook

A lot of people have complained that their account has been hacked, somebody starts posting nude pictures and malicious links on your timeline. They chat up your Facebook friends asking for financial assistance that your mom or wife or one relative is sick and needs expensive medical assistance to survive....they spam and scam with your account and on your behalf. Yes, they destroy your social and corporate image. Who told you that an app can tell who your boyfriend or spouse will be or how many kids you will have or the number of cars you will have or probably read your so called zodiac signs and tell you how fortunate you are to be born on a particular date. The only truth that you will get from those app and zodiac signs is the fact that you are vulnerable. Yes its very obvious....I don't need a malicious app or a star gazer to tell me that. Your argument might be that you do it for fun. I feel your pain oo... because you are having fun at your own peril. The fact is  that most of those Apps are loaded with malware and if you are oblivious of what that is, a 'Malware' is an umbrella term used to refer to a variety of forms of hostile or intrusive software, including computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, ransom-ware, spyware, adware, scareware, and other malicious programs. It can take the form of executable code, scripts, active content, and other software. There are millions of them that the antivirus can not even keep up with their evolution.
With that they can have access to your device and do what ever they wish. A lot of them are undetectable like the stealth "Keyloggers" and "The Extractors". While the Keylogger records every keystroke you make on you device and sends them to who ever it was programmed to communicate to, the "Extractor" records and transmits the content of every form you fill online. It means that it records and sends the  login details every account you have online. Which compromises your emails, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, your everything online.
The internet is a wonderful place but also very dangerous. Don't make a habit of giving third party apps permission to view your details or post to your timeline.
Think safety, browse safely.

ADVICE TO THE NIGERIAN BROTHERS; And indeed brothers all over.

Dear Nigerian brother,
Please and please when you meet a sister and you want her attention, do not call her over like she is your servant, she is not your servant girl and is not obligated to answer you or talk to you so don't feel offended when she ignores your rude self.
Secondly do not ask for her cellphone number like its your right, it is not. Do not give her your phone and look away like she owes you her number and don't give her your number and tell her to call you  in a demanding voice. Her number is not your right.
Thirdly dear brother, when you meet that girl that excites you and you want to get to know her better please do not invite her on a date only to quiz and interview her. She has not applied for any job, if anything, you are the one applying so develop courtesy and learn "what getting to know you" means. Do not chat her up and quiz her, if you need to know more about her don't harass her with your many prying questions.
Fourthly when you are on a first date with a sister please leave marriage out of it, the matter is now cliche' and instantly passes you off as desperate. That can be a total turn off! you don't even know her!
In addition dear bros, Don't talk about dating you or marrying you like as if it a scholarship. Soldier go soldier come, you are not a one time opportunity. Also don't go forgiving her for all her passed and unconfessed sins which she did not commit against you, then place a warning of unforgiveness for future sins. She has not even agreed to date you yet! Mbok, wake up and smell reality... the sister is probably not even considering your arrogant ass!( pardon my English).
 When you tell a sister that if she agrees to date or marry you, she would have no worries or lack, know that you just handed her a blank cheque she is sure to fill and you may not like it when she does.

Mental Slavery

I was in the bank the other day, and a seemingly white guy walked in and went straight to the counter by-passing the line of waiting customers. For some reasons he came  back and sat by the side.  Five minutes later a worker came to tell him to go next after the person on the front of  the queue. This caused an uproar. A lot of us couldn't understand why he had to go  next. Why can't he join the queue? Like seriously, no dark skinned African get's treated preferentially in any white  skinned country.

We by this I mean Nigerians need to learn to love our selves the way we were created. We need to understand that there is nothing special about the fairer or white skin. we are all the same people but some how the African man especially Nigerians because I am most familiar with Nigeria, are bound in some kind of mental slavery to the white skinned person. They get excited and stare, the alter their accent for them, they are nicer to them but tend to be the opposite of all these things to their  fellow Nija person. Mehn y'all got to chill and reconsider. These people know that a lot of us Nigerians get silly around them and so they manipulate our silliness to their advantage.

Even our girls sef want to born half cast ooooo. That's why one yeye yello skinned african oyibo man want to form abrodie for me.  and am like " come of it man!"

African are created to be beautiful, elegant , proud, hard working people. we are not mean or hostile especially not to ourselves. slave trade is over. Please lets free ourselves from the mental slavery. Be proudly African. Love Africa; your skin, your hair, your culture; even your name! Stop answering funny names you can't even tell its meaning. African names are always meaningful and better than meaningless flashy names.

So basically this is a wake up call to all my African Brothers and Sisters to free themselves from every mental slavery that ties them bound to the White skinned man. This is a call to think African, walk African , Love Africa and Be African.

Emir Task Security Agents on Curbing Drug Peddling in Katsina

The Emir of Katsina , Alhaji Abdulmumini Kabir, has urged security agents to initiate strategies to eliminate illicit drugs peddling in the state.

The emir made the appeal on Monday in Katsina at a special meeting with the heads of security organisations to discuss the menace of illicit drug peddling in the state.

“It has come to the notice of the Emirate Council that several young boys, girls and women engage in the consumption of cough syrups with codeine without doctors’ prescriptions.

“The Katsina Emirate Council is worried that the future mothers of tomorrow are slowly killing themselves by taking illicit drugs,” he said.

Kabir advised parents and guardians to monitor the activities of their children and wards in order to prevent them from mixing with bad friends.

“We as the custodians of the culture and tradition of the people in Katsina, and we must do our best to make sure that youths shun drug peddling and abuse.

“I hereby call on youths to engage in skill acquisition training in order to avoid being idle, as idleness is one of the reasons for drug consumption by the youths,’’ the traditional ruler said.

Earlier , the state Commandant of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency , Hajiya Maryam Sani , said that the meeting was necessary to make plans to wipe out illicit drug trade and consumption in the state.

Sani said that state had been identified as holding the first position in the consumption and trade in illicit drugs in the North West.

She said that the command had intercepted large quantities of cannabis within the last two weeks and arrested some suspects.

Sani, who spoke on behalf of other security chiefs, said that many traders in the state had left their trades to engage in the sale of illicit drugs especially cough syrup.
