Why A New War ‘Must’ Start Soon in Nigeria – Cleric

Why A New War ‘Must’ Start Soon in Nigeria – Cleric. The Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020 signed by President Muhammadu Buhari, has been failed by David Bamgbose, a pastor in Ogun state.

According to Bamgbose, the Act is capable of starting a religious war in the country.

Recall that on August 7, 2020, Buhari signed the amended CAMA Act into law.

Nevertheless, the law has received series of condemnations from various pastors in the country, including the Living Faith Church’s Bishop David Oyedepo and the Nigeria Christian Association, CAN.

He had condemned the act which was described as satanic and ungodly legislation aimed against the church.

Bamgbose who spoke with newsmen in Abeokuta yesterday, opined that the law is an infringement on the rights of Christians.

He noted that Religious war will be too catastrophic and is unthinkable.

“I advise that whatever is the agenda of this government, it should step back on the issue of religion.

He noted the issue is very delicate, adding that a good history student will not do what the government is doing.

“I am saying my religion is my life. And that’s how most people feel about religion,” he said.

This may leds to a new war in Nigeria

Harrysong ”Why I Dont Marry”, having baby mamas has become a tradition in the entertainment industry, for entertainers and social media influencers all fall into it. Nonetheless, Harrison Okiri, 39-year-old “Kingmaker’,’ popularly known as Harrysong, says he does not want a baby mama.

Speaking to Saturday Beats, the qualified bachelor who once proposed getting married in 2020 noted that he had briefly suspended marriage because he was “not sure anymore.”

Harrysong said:-
“Everything about marriage has been suspended for now. I’m focusing more on my music and business.

The truth is that I’m still young and having the passion to settle down early is a normal feeling. When you meet someone and don’t really connect is a pointer of what could happen later in life. You can’t manage yourself into a life-time journey, you have to be 100 per cent sure. In my case, I wasn’t so sure anymore. There are some things I can’t talk about. For now, I have to manage it on my own.’’

“As long as you’re above 20 years, you should be eligible for marriage. As a celebrity, distraction can be one of the reasons of not getting married early but finding the right person is very important.

“Personally I don’t support having a baby mama even though it’s a common phenomenon nowadays. Having a baby mama is a personal decision. I don’t have a baby mama because I don’t want it.’’

Below is the full text of the release:

”My attention has been drawn to publications on social media over the alleged face-off between me and the good people of Awka and Arondizuogu communities in Anambra and Imo States respectively.

”In the said posts, I was portrayed as declaring war on the people of these communities and their respective traditional festivals and beliefs. It was also alleged that I had vowed to destroy Imo-Awka festival and put a stop to the Ikeji festival of Arondizuogu.

”Consequent upon the above, I wish to acknowledge that the people of Awka and Arondizuogu communities are peace loving and I have over the years come to share fellowship and service in church with a great number of them.

”These two communities and their renowned indigenes have been known and recognized as major contributors to the development of their states, Igbo land and the nation at large.

”Awka and Arondizuogu communities have produced great men and women of integrity and pedigree and have always remained at the top of great sons and daughters of Igbo land.

”Against this backdrop and with every humility as a Servant of the Living God, I sincerely apologise to the great people of these two Communities, to the entire people of Igbo land and to my Elders for my utterances. I will not make any attempts to justify my statement as even I can see that it’s hurtful in all its ramifications.

”I also want to specially apologize to the family of Mazi Pericomo of Arondizuogu who I understand until his passing was a diligent servant ( Evangelist) of God. I apologize and put it on record that this experience has taught me that words that speak any form of divisive conversation amongst our people MUST be checked. This is a time for unity, love and unwavering support for each other.

”Similarly, I lend my voice to the directives of the federal and state government in observing all the COVID-19 protocols, while waiting on the Lord for the end of the pandemic.”

Reasons Heart Attack Death Rate Has Doubled During COVID-19

Reasons Heart Attack Death Rate Has Doubled During COVID-19, Most people would do almost anything to avoid going to the hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic over fears of contracting the novel coronavirus.

Unfortunately, that has included many people ignoring the signs of a heart attack.

A studyTrusted Source published this month in JAMA Cardiology shows the risks of neglecting those signs has ultimately had on people’s health.

The study focused on heart attacks during the pandemic.

Studies in the state of Oregon and Washington — two states that saw major coronavirus outbreaks — found that people having a serious heart attack were more than twice as likely to die of it as COVID-19 hit the United States in contrast with previous years.

The study looked at 15,244 hospitalizations involving 14,724 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) — the medical term for a heart attack.

The researchers noticed the number of hospitalizations began to decrease about 19 percent over a 5-week period beginning Feb. 23, 2020.

That was about 2 weeks before the World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source declared the novel coronavirus was a pandemic.

The researchers looked at data from six states — Alaska, California, Montana, Oregon, Texas, and Washington — and compared that data to the same time period from 2018 and 2019.

They reported that hospitalizations for heart attacks began increasing again around March 29. Researchers noted those people were 1 to 3 years younger, had a shorter length of stay, and were more likely to be discharged.

Overall, however, the researchers concluded people were 2.4 times as likely to die from a heart attack when compared with pre-pandemic times, probably because they were less likely to be hospitalized.

“In the weeks and months to come, clinicians may see greater numbers of patients with more severe manifestations of AMI. With the uncertainty on timing of a COVID-19 vaccine, this study reinforces the need to address important care processes for patients with AMI to help mitigate further risk,” the researchers concluded in their study.

Concerns From Doctors
The research confirms anecdotal stories from earlier this year when doctors across the nation were concerned about where heart attack and stroke victims had gone as hospitals were preparing for a surge in cases of COVID-19.

Dr. Sanjiv Patel, an interventional cardiologist at MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute at Orange Coast Medical Center in California, told Healthline that the study was a good cross-sectional look at a trend of hospital admissions for acute heart attacks.

But, he says, more data is needed to determine why the mortality was higher.

Meanwhile, Dr. Nicole Weinberg, a cardiologist at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in California, says the study shows what’s being seen in hospitals as well as what her colleagues across the country have been talking about.

“It illuminates yet another reason to social distance and wear a mask,” she said. Why swift action is necessary While COVID-19 remains a global health crisis, heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Trusted Source.

And much like our response to the coronavirus should have been swift to avoid unnecessary deaths, experts say the same is true for how we should respond if we experience symptoms of a heart attack.

Patel says time is of the essence with heart attacks because an artery is blocked and the heart muscle is deprived of blood.

That’s why he says if your chest feels heavy and your arms hurt or feel numb, along with other symptoms, you should contact your doctor or call 911.

“Limiting the time of blood limitation to the heart muscle can save the heart function,” he said.

“With poor heart function, your long-term outcome is not good. Thus, despite the pandemic, if you have symptoms of heart attack, seek help immediately, as it may very well be the difference between life and death.”

Weinberg is more direct: “Missing a heart attack could be deadly.”

Lifestyle and stress
While it’s reasonable to have fears about being treated for nearly anything that isn’t immediately life threatening, people are resoundingly brushing off symptoms of a heart attack.

What’s worse is that shelter-in-place orders can make people fall into unhealthy routines, which could increase the risks of a heart attack. These include eating poorly, exercising less, or leaning more heavily on substances such as alcohol.

There’s also the new level of stress of trying to avoid the virus during simple daily activities, such as going to the grocery store or running other errands.

Even not being able to see our friends and loved ones, including disruptions in our routine, can be bad for our hearts. Research has shown the inflammation caused by depression can increase a person’s risk for a heart attack.

In addition, some of the signs and symptoms of a heart attack, such as pain in the chest and upper body, sweating, nausea, fatigue, or trouble breathing, also align with symptoms of COVID-19.

Even if a heart attack doesn’t kill you immediately, Weinberg says delaying treatment could lead to life-altering ramifications, including heart conditions like cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure.

“We have been encouraging patients to utilize their resources ASAP when the concern strikes,” she said.

Weinberg recommends that if you’re worried you’re having a heart attack, put on a mask and get checked out in an emergency room or a cardiac urgent care facility.

“Oftentimes, quick testing can determine if you need further medical attention or can just leave right away,” Weinberg said.
