It becomes pertinent for each individual or group of us to reexamine our beliefs in the face of today’s world and ask ourselves – how reasonable are our beliefs, how certain are we of our purposes on earth, and how do our beliefs help in answering these questions?
“…incompetent people are inherently unable to judge the competence of other people, or the quality of those people’s ideas…democracies rarely or never elect the best leaders. Their advantage over dictatorships or other forms of government is merely that they “effectively prevent lower-than-average candidates from becoming leaders.”

“Women can reduce their risk of breast cancer by maintaining a healthy weight, drinking less alcohol and being physically active, and it’s not a bad idea to swap some red meat – which is linked to bowel cancer – for white meat, beans or fish,”
It is all a reflection of the kind of countries and environment we have created for ourselves. No national team that is divided in its objectives, distracted in its focus, or partially motivated in its zeal will ever win a world tournament like the world cup. It would be unfair to others who put their lives on the line to win for their country men and women….

“last year (as in other cases when Nigeria performed well), the government and people of Nigeria showered the National Soccer team with appreciation gifts in cash and property. What then could possibly be the justification for the players to rather opt for appearance fees even when history indicates that they would have gotten more from the government and people of Nigeria if they had performed better?

I personally have nothing against homosexuality…, but what I do have a problem with is with the concept of human rights and the hypocrisy of the Western world in their definition and usage of the term…saying polygamy violates the sacredness of marriage is oppressive as saying homosexuality violates the sacredness of marriage…. Legalize polygamous marriage and only then will you be justified to condemn (anti-homosexual laws)…

“Man’s effort to classify fellow men by virtue of physical attributes is more an expression of human limitation than a necessary preoccupation. It stands in the way of the recognition and celebration of man’s Divine qualities and the utilization of man’s vast potentialities as the homo sapiens – the supposed most intelligent and imaginative being on earth.”

“The boys are just between 16 and 17 years old. They only tried out their learning while in the secondary school. They wanted to know if they can practicalise the theories they learnt in school. The dream of these young boys is to design a spacecraft. It was launched without funfair…. I want these boys to be encouraged. May be, who knows tomorrow, at my old age, I may be the lucky one that would fly in the spacecraft made by these young lads.” – Police Commissioner Mohammed Katsina
…anniversary of World War II is being commemorated around the world, but the contribution of one group of soldiers is almost universally ignored.

After the live interview, Dr Grant told The Gleaner, “I can go back and now say, I have met them, I have seen them. They have told me how it’s done, what it has done. They have the medical records right there in the home. I am a believer. I now believe even more that this soursop cured Mrs Kirlew, and it is a miracle drug. If my visit saved one life – this visit from Florida to Discovery Bay, Jamaica – just one life, it would have been worth it.”.
The bottom line? Graviola, like many other plants, has shown promise in laboratory tests as a possible cancer fighting agent. However, given that there have been no significant human tests of the products and there is currently no evidence to suggest that eating sour sop will cure or effectively treat cancer, spreading this over-hyped and inaccurate nonsense will help nobody. Especially since the possible side effects of graviola are not fully understood and may be quite dangerous. And another great danger of such misinformation is that it may cause some cancer patients to forgo traditional treatments in favour of self prescribed sour sop. Such a decision could be fatal.
As a cancer buster, it is said that the leaves and bark of wild soursop trees, preferably grown organically, contains the most healing properties. These are dried and made into a tea and then boiled to extract the medicinal compounds. Contrary to belief, the soursop healing properties have been studied by medical research facilities for many decades. Promising results indicate that soursop has the natural ability to target and kill damaged cells. However, its effectiveness has yet to be determined thus it hasn’t been marketed formally as a cancer cure.
