The Central Bank of Nigeria on Wednesday knocked commercial banks across the country for not promoting the e-Naira launched with fanfare by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), in October, 2021. The apex bank also explained the operational benefits of its newly introduced eNaira to the public. Officials of the CBN took turns in Kaduna on Wednesday to lecture youth corps members, hundreds of students from tertiary institutions across the state and other members of the public on the eNaira initiative. Head, Development Finance Department of the CBN, Aminu Muhammad, an assistant director, said financial institutions under the purview of the CBN were supposed to play these critical roles in growing our economy. Speaking at the CBN Fair which held in Kaduna and simultaneously in Kano, Muhammad said the commercial banks were not effective in promoting the eNaira. Copyright PUNCH

Eduard Charlemont ,The Moorish Chief,1878 Photo: Essential African Knowledge The word Moor conjures up many thoughts. Due to required Shakespearean reading in school, we may have heard this word used to describe blacks.  But as more facts emerge, we are gradually learning just how powerful the black presence was in olden times. Moorish Empire of North Africa…Afri Asiatic Anthropology Blog The Oxford English Dictionary describes a Moor as, “A member of a north-western African Muslim people of mixed Berber and Arab descent. In the 8th century, they conquered the Iberian Peninsula, but were finally driven out of their last stronghold in Granada at the end of the 15th century.” The Dutch language used the word Moor and Moorian to describe blacks. Today, the wor...

The Flathead City-County Health Department (FCCHD), the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS), and other local health departments, are working together to investigate an E.coli O157:H7 outbreak originating in Flathead County. To date, the investigation has identified at least 13 individuals associated with the outbreak. Many of the cases experienced moderate to severe symptoms, and one death has occurred. Preliminary investigative findings indicate that ground beef containing the E.coli bacteria may be the exposure of concern. State partners continue to test clinical and food samples for laboratory confirmation.mp The FCCHD and DPHHS investigation has determined that the ground beef identified as the potential source of the outbreak was sold directly to several restaurants from a distributor. The product was not available for purchase by consumers in grocery store settings. Public health staff worked directly with all affected facilities to remove a...

Urine Formation

-
Image
Excretion is a biological process, which plays a vital role in eliminating toxins and other waste products from the body. The kidneys filter unwanted substances from the blood and produce urine to excrete them. Constituents of normal human urine include 95 per cent water and 5 per cent solid wastes. It is produced in the nephron, which is the structural and functional unit of the kidney. There are three main steps of urine formation: glomerular filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. These processes ensure that only waste and excess water are removed from the body. Urine is about 95% water and 5% waste products. Nitrogenous wastes excreted in urine include urea, creatinine, ammonia, and uric acid. Ions such as sodium, potassium, hydrogen, and calcium are also excreted. 1. The Glomerular Filtration Each kidney contains over 1 million tiny structures called nephrons. Each nephron has a glomerulus, the site of blood filtration. The glomerulus is a network of capillaries...

Bleeding Time (BT) Test

-
Image
1. Objective : The objective of the Bleeding Time (BT) test was to evaluate the time taken for small blood vessels to stop bleeding after a standardized skin puncture, thus assessing platelet function and vascular integrity. 2. Principle : The test was based on the principle that bleeding time reflects platelet plug formation at the site of vascular injury. Any defect in platelet number, function, or vessel wall integrity prolonged the bleeding time. 3. Materials : Sterile lancet or bleeding time device Stopwatch Filter paper (Whatman No. 1) Sphygmomanometer Alcohol swab Ruler Cotton and adhesive bandage 4. Procedure (Duke’s Method or Ivy’s Method): (Ivy’s Method – more standard): 1. The patient’s forearm was cleaned and a blood pressure cuff was inflated to 40 mmHg. 2. A standardized incision (usually 5 mm long, 1 mm deep) was made on the volar surface using a lancet. 3. The stopwatch was started immediately. 4.

Nigerian Athletes Living Like Beggars In Glasgow

-
Some of the athletes who will be representing Nigeria at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow are crying over their condition since their arrival in Scotland over the weekend. With the Games set to kick off on Wednesday, delegates from the participating countries are already on ground and could be seen on the streets of Glasgow, especially around the games village, rightly fitted with track suits bearing their national colours. This is in contrast to the Nigerian athletes, who confirmed that they have not been supplied with kits and as a result they are dressed in different colours. Only those participating in the track and field events have kits, from other events they took part in. Others have no kits says, a senior Nigerian athlete at the Games, “it is embarrassing seeing Nigerian athletes in tatters,” he continued, adding “some are even wearing bathroom slippers." “The athletics team was lucky to have their own personal kits from previous outings. Nobody has been supplied with k...
