#HealthMonday: The challenge of lung cancer

Image
The challenge of lung cancer November marks lung cancer awareness month. Lung cancer is a leading cause for cancer deaths in the world and is strongly correlated with smoking. Although the rates of lung cancer in sub-Saharan Africa is lower vs. the rest of the world, it is still important to discuss especially as the rates of tobacco use in Africa is on the rise - if the smoking rate continues to climb, dealing with tobacco-related illnesses such as lung cancer will become more common. Furthermore, secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in people who have never smoked themselves. Symptoms Lung cancer may not produce any noticeable symptoms in the early stages. In many people diagnosed with lung cancer, diagnosis is made after the disease has advanced. As many of these symptoms are general, many people don't suspect lung cancer. And by the time they see a doctor, often the cancer has already started to spread. Risk factors While the...

Tekno may have sold his soul to devil – see reasons

Image
We all know that the year has begun on the bright side for the TrippleMG songster, Tekno, who recently sealed a mammoth deal with Sonny Music. Even Wizkid and Davido, who have been running things on the international scene for about a year now have not gone close to sealing such deal.

This places him far over Davido and Wizkid in terms of cash, and questions have arisen as to how the singer suddenly bagged such mouthwatering deal with the much coveted international music powerhouse. Only one thing has come to mind, and that’s the possibility that the singer has crossed over to the other side. Sony Music has been labeled devilish by many musicians in the past. The likes of the late legendary musician Michael Jackson came out openly to criticize the music powerhouse and its leadership, tagging them devilish. Barely some years after the singer made that re...

Reason For Nation Wide Blackout - PHCN Explain

Image
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has said recent disruption in supply of electricity across the country was occasioned by a major collapse of the transmission grid. The TCN in a statement by its General Manager, Public Affairs, Mr. Dave Ifabiyi, yesterday in Abuja, stated that a fault had occurred on a major transmission line running from Benin-City, Edo State to Lagos through Osogbo, Osun State which resulted in the shutdown of the Egbin, Omotosho and Olorunsogo power stations respectively. While extending apologies to electricity consumers across the country, it explained that the development resulted in nationwide blackout which occurred on May 24. He, however, noted that recovery efforts by the company’s engineers to rectify the fault as well as bring up the system had begun but will take some time due to the magnitude of the incident. Although power supply had not been fully restored in pockets of areas within some states, the company, however, assured Nigeria...
