Four Not Very Healthy Nigerian Snacks We Can’t Help But Love!

This article was moved over from ConnectNigeria , Article written by: : Ify Halim
We decided to make this know to our Nigerian readers so as to keep healthy and maintain a good diet.
Find article below:

A major part of the Nigerian culture is our love for food. We are a nation blessed with hundreds of colourful and flavourful cuisines, made with tender care and love. So who can blame us?
Our locally made snacks are lovely as well, with their diverse appealing tastes, colours and textures. But sadly, some of these foods are served with side-helpings of unwanted calories. Their modes of preparation, in some cases, are also not the best in terms of hygiene.
We’ve put together a list of popular snacks that are great to eat but aren’t the healthiest of choices. Please note that we aren’t insisting you drop these snacks from your diet completely. Moderation is key to living a healthy life.

1. Gala (beef roll snack)

Gala

"I smile while writing this, knowing fully well that Gala’s my favourite guilty pleasure. This chewy snack is a quick fix when starving on-the-go but is stuffed with beef and has a unique starchy covering. Let’s not forget its fizzy accompaniment, La Casera."

2. Puff-puff balls/Buns

Puff Puff

"These treats are certainly yummy to eat, but let’s face it: they are fried balls of dough with a very high sugar content. Also, buns that are fried and served on the street are usually exposed to dust and insects – very unhealthy!"

3. Chin-chin

Chin Chin

"We love to nibble on handfuls at Nigerian parties and events. But sadly, the word chin chin is code for fried pieces of flour, loaded with salt and sugar."

4. Agege bread

Agege

"For as low as N50, a loaf of agege bread (best eaten with butter or beans) is enough to fill you up till lunch time. It’s tasty too and nicely soft-textured (especially when it’s fresh). However, its additive – potassium bromate – is said to cause cancer in humans, as warned by science experts."

SEE A BRIEF INTERVIEW ABOUT HER CAREER:

What was your childhood ambition?
I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur and I have always been interested in fashion. I started my first business at the age of 16 with a boutique, a mini supermarket, and a spa while studying at the University of Lagos.

Why fashion designing, styling and beauty?
Because these three things put together are my passion. I started sketching at a very early age and while I was in University, I stated designing for my friends and gave them fashion tips. I also love making natural remedies for skin issues, making people look good from head to toe. This is why I opened a salon for hair, nails, lash, makeup and the beauty arm of the business.

I have designed four collections so far. All my collections are about my life. The “Day Dream” Collection was showcased at the Nigerian Entertainment Awards in 2011.

Actually, I design for everybody. Kids, teenagers, women, men, and even the old. Elegante by TiannahStyling caters for the world, not just the society.

The Late Diepreye Alamieyeseigha: Biography, Life,History, And Death

T.I.N Magazine has compiled up a detailed biography on the recently deceased controversial Governor Alamieyeseigha showing a lot of things you may not know about him.
WE SAY: REST IN PEACE

FULL NAME:              Diepreye Solomon Peter Alamieyeseigha

DATE OF BIRTH:       16 November 1952

OCCUPATION:           Politician (Ex Governor)

             DECEASED
( 10 October 2015 aged :62)

INTRODUCTION

Diepreye Alamieyeseigha is a delegate of Bayelsa State. He was the first civilian governor of Bayelsa State under whom President Goodluck Jonathan served as deputy governor. He served between 1999 and 2005 when he was impeached from office. The former Air Force officer who was popularly called the “Governor-General of the Ijaw Nation” was found guilty of corruption and was sentenced to prison. He was later granted pardon by president Goodluck Jonathan in 2013.

EARLY LIFE AND BACKGROUND

Diepreye Alamieyeseigha was born in 16 November 1952 in Amassoma, Ogboin North Local Government Area, Bayelsa State. He attended the Bishop Dimeari Grammar School, Yenagoa. He joined the Nigerian Defence Academy as a Cadet Officer in 1974, then joined the Nigerian Air Force, where he served in the department of Logistics and Supply. He held various air force positions inEnugu, Markurdi, Kaduna and Ikeja. Alamieyeseigha retired from the air force in 1992 as a Squadron Leader.

After leaving the air force he became the Sole Administrator of Pabod Supplies Port Harcourt. Later he became Head of Budget, Planning, Research and Development of the National Fertiliser Company (NAFCON).

POLITICAL CAREER AND LIFE

Diepreye Alamieyeseigha was elected Governor of Bayelsa State in May 1999 as a member of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP). He was re-elected in 2003. Vice President Atiku Abubakar attended the March 2003 event that kicked of his campaign for reelection in 2003.

MONEY LAUNDERING CHARGES

Diepreye Alamieyeseigha was detained in London on charges of money laundering in September 2005. At the time of his arrest, Metropolitan police found about £1m in cash in his London home. Later they found a total of £1.8m ($3.2m) in cash and bank accounts. He has been found to own real estate in London worth an alleged £10 million. His state’s monthly federal allocation for the last six years has been in the order of £32 million. He jumped bail in December 2005 from the United Kingdom by allegedly disguising himself as a woman, though Alamieyeseigha denies this claim.

In July 2007, Alamieyeseigha pleaded guilty before a Nigerian court to six charges and was sentenced to two years in prison on each charge; however, because the sentences were set to run concurrently and the time was counted from the point of his arrest nearly two years before the sentences, his actual sentence was relatively short. Many of his assets were ordered to be forfeited to the Bayelsa state government. According to Alamieyeseigha, he only pled guilty due to his age and would have fought the charges had he been younger. On July 27, just hours after being taken to prison, he was released due to time already served.

In April 2009, Alamieyeseigha pledged a donation of 3,000,000 Naira to the Akassa Development Foundation.
In December 2009, the federal government hired a British law firm to help dispose of four expensive properties acquired by Alamieyeseigha in London. Alamieyeseigha had bought one of these properties for £1,750,000.00 in July 2003, paying in cash. Diepreye Solomon Peter Alamieyeseigha used it as his London residence, and as the registered office of Solomon and Peters Inc.
On June 28, 2012, the United States (US) Department of Justice (DoJ) announced that it had executed an asset forfeiture order on $401,931 in a Massachusetts brokerage fund, traceable to Alamieyeseigha. US prosecutors filed court papers in April 2011 targeting the Massachusetts brokerage fund and a $600,000 Maryland home, which they alleged were the proceeds of corruption. A motion for default judgement and civil forfeiture was granted by a Massachusetts federal district judge in early June 2012. The forfeiture order was the first to be made under the DoJ’s fledgling Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative.

Presidential Pardon:

In March 2013, Alamieyeseigha was pardoned by President Goodluck Jonathan, but his pardoning was criticised by so many Nigerians.

FULL CONFESSION AND APOLOGY

1. My names are Diepreye Solomon Peter (DSP) Alamieyeseigha. I am a former Governor of Bayelsa state, 29 May 1999- December 2005.

2. I am a powerful Nigerian politician, known as Governor General in ‘Ijaw nation’ of Nigeria’s oil rich Niger Delta; but have also been an ex convict, international fugitive, forger, and I have also jumped bail in London.

14. According to World Bank’s State Asset Recovery case (STAR), between May 1999 when I was elected Governor of Bayelsa state and December 2005 when I was impeached, I illegally accumulated (outside Nigeria) known properties, bank accounts, investments and cash exceeding £10m in value. The STAR case against me reads in part,
“Between the start of his period of office in May 1999, to late 2005, Alamieyeseigha accumulated (outside Nigeria) known properties, bank accounts, investments and cash exceeding £10m in value. His portfolio of foreign assets included accounts with five banks in the UK and further accounts with banks in Cyprus, Denmark and the United States; four London properties acquired for a total of £4.8m; a Cape Town harbour penthouse acquired for almost £1m, possible assets in the United States, and almost £1m in cash stored in one of his London properties. Some of the foreign assets were held in his name and that of his wife, but the bulk of them were held by companies and trusts incorporated in the Bahamas, the British Virgin Islands, South Africa, and Seychelle.’

15. In July 2006, British authorities returned $1.9 million of the illicit gains I made as Governor of oil-rich Bayelsa state in Nigeria.

16. On 2 July 2008, Nigeria obtained judgment over my stolen assets in London, Cyprus and Denmark.

17. On June 29, 2011, the US federal district judge in the state of Massachusetts ordered that I should forfeit the sum of N60m ($401,931) to the United States Government. I stole the amount from Bayelsa State between 1999 to 2005 and secretly kept it at a Massachusetts brokerage fund, before it was discovered by US prosecutors. I also lost another house I acquired in the state of Maryland, valued at N90m ($600,000) house that Alamieyesigha bought in the state of Maryland.

18. I also lost my properties in several other countries. In February 2006, the Asset Forfeiture Unit of the National Prosecuting Authority of South Africa secured a court order to freeze my residential property on the Cape Town waterfront. I was found guilty of stealing N1.499 billion (USD11 million) from Bayelsa treasury to buy Chelsea Hotel Ltd in Abuja

19. I am still being probed by the governments of Britain, United States, South Africa, Bahamas and Seychelles as well as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the World Bank under the Stolen Assets Recovery Initiative (STAR) case.

20. In spite of all these, I was given a state pardon by the Council of State headed by my the administration of my godson President Goodluck Jonathan on March 12, 2013.

22. I am now eligible to hold any Public office at the highest level, I may simply choose to return to my former post as Governor of Bayelsa in a future election, or I can contest for Senate and become the Senate President, or even contest for Nigeria’s Presidency in the future. You will vote for me, because I still have enough unrecovered looted funds to go round all potential voters!

                       PROFILE

FULL NAME:               Eniola Akinbo

DATE OF BIRTH:        December 9, 1985

OCCUPATION:             Singer

MARITAL STATUS:    Not Married

INTRODUCTION

Niyola, is a female Nigerian recording artist, singer, songwriter and performer who came into spotlight after getting signed to EME records in 2012 with release a couple songs like “Don’t Delay Me”, ‘Don’t Go There' and others , and became a bigger star in 2013 after the release of her hit single "Toh Bad".

EARLY LIFE AND BACKGROUND

Born on the 9th of December in Lagos Nigeria and hailing from Ilesha in Osun state, the last born of a conservative Christian family of ten, Eniola Akinbo popularly known as ‘Niyola’ discovered her affinity for music at age 8 when she attended a Funmi Adams concert with her father. Soon, she started developing interest in singing; deciding later that year, to do a song at the annual church convention.

Her father who’s a music enthusiast and vocalist groomed her for the convention together with her brother and sister who also had love for music. After that performance, little Eniola went home with gifts and envelopes from people who had confessed that she had an amazing talent. From then on she recognised her talent and started nurturing her musical skills while creating music that her older ones listened to.

Niyola’s unique story started in 2000 when she took part in the AMEN starlet competition and emerged first runner up – meeting with the then “Plantashun boys’’ who invited her to do a duet with the group (she ended up recording with Faze as the group would soon split).
She later joined Trybe records briefly; leaving to jump start ‘’Make sum noise ‘’entertainment a production outfit owned by Freestyle of TRYBESMEN. She released her first singles Me n U (in da club) No more and Dem say on the imprint.

CAREER AND LIFE

Niyola has performed at major events like the Akon concert in Lagos, Calabar festival in Cross Rivers, Yhello Festival alongside Sasha, and toured with CELTEL (now Airtel) in 2008. She also took part in the first girl power Tetmosol project amongst many others. In 2009, she took part in the OVATION RED CAROL theme song.

With influences like Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Rachelle Ferelle and Beyonce, Niyola’s vocal strength has brought about collaborations with Ruggedman on” If I could do it’’, “ If you want my love” with Freestyle, ‘’All my days ‘’, “Leaders of tomorrow ‘’with Sasha amongst many others.
She’s also written soundtracks for movies in her dialect Yoruba like FEYIPITAN, OGIDI OMO ABANIDARO amongst many others. In 2007 she wrote the theme song for 2FACE IDIBIA’s 2nd album concert and also did jingles for Coca Cola and a few other international brands.

As an undergraduate in the University of Lagos, and an apostle of travel and tourism, Niyola combined her studies with her music; building up a strong profile as a musician to reckon with, while earning her first degree.

Following the successful release of her first independent single TURN ME ON in December 2010, the singer has now gone on to release her hot new single titled UNPREDICTABLE (featuring Skales and produced by Ex O). UNPREDICTABLE was written with Ex O and is a translation of Niyola’s personal experiences, as is her forthcoming album.

She's Always known Banky from back in the days. He saw her then and asked why she wasn’t doing music. She told him she really wanted to do music but she didn’t think she had enough resources.
While she was trying to make a comeback then she did a song with Skales. It was during that period that Banky suggested they should work on a song. Around that time, there was a rape incident at ABSU and Banky was worried that no female had come out to sing about it and they decided to do a song together and that is how she started until she eventually got signed.

See what Banky W said about when she first met her:
Banky said: ‘I was walking to the bathroom of an event center 1 day, and a voice from the female bathroom stopped me dead in my tracks. It was the most beautiful female voice I’d heard in person. I waited outside until the girl came out, and I introduced myself to Niyola. We became friends, and over the years I always felt like she would be an amazing artist if she just had a different musical environment around her. A different support system to help her be better.

Niyola got signed to Empire Mates Entertainment in 2012 and was featured on several tracks on the EME Empire Mates State of Mind album alongside leading Nigerian acts, Wizkid, Banky W and Skales; including her debut single as the EME 1st lady, titled ‘Don’t Go There. She, released 2 singles, ‘Crazy’ and ‘Toh Bad’ in 2013 which were great hits, they might happen to be on her forthcoming album.
Her message is one that’s positive ,especially centred around empowering the female by using her experiences either directly or indirectly in her writing either in a movie soundtrack or in her own songs.

Ever since her 2013 breakthrough Niyola has been trying the best she could in the music industry with release of more hits like; Love to Love you and more...

CAREER AND LIFE

We plan on getting a recent interview with her very soon.

What were the constraints you had to face and overcome as an up-and-coming Actor (young actor)?
The task of growing up (experience-wise) and handling the fame of becoming a recognisable star were some of the hurdles I had to cross back then. In spite of all I am still standing and I thank the Almighty God.

How many films have you been involved with as an Actor to date?
Quite a lot: Owo wunmi Omo britiko Omo ose paro IOfe (Love) Afi Suru Ori to mention a few.

As a DYNAMIC, OUTSTANDING, 'A'-List Actor, how have you managed to adapt to the different range of roles you have played in your career?
I am familiar with the system and anything that comes across, I take it up as a challenge and do it. I believe that is what you will call 'taking it in your stride'.

What is the most awkward or strangest role you have had to take/play in your career and why?
I don't think I have had any irritating role, because every role is meant to show exactly how it happens in the real world and positively influence the viewers. We are just acting.

What film have you been most proud to be involved with so far, and why?
In a Nation wide Television Programme "Super Story - face of deceit”. Because I had to play the role of an aged woman (42 years precisely) and you know what, it was very interesting. I had a great time.

As an 'A'-List Actor yourself, what other 'A'-List Actors or Actresses have worked or collaborated with?
Yinka Quadri, Saidi Balogun, Jide Kosoko, Adebayo Salami, Sola Sobowale, Peju Ogunmola, Ronke Oshodi Oke, Moji Olaiya, Remi Oshodi,Odunlade, Funke Akindele et.c.

What is the motivation for you or what keeps you interested in this career every morning you wake up?
I think I just love the job I do because any time I am on set, I am always very happy.

How important are our Nigerian roots, morals, values, knowledge and sense of wisdom to you and your works?
Its importance cannot be stressed enough. I strongly believe this is what gives our Nigerian films the edge over most other industries at the moment. This niche is extremely important for our viewers who are at home and abroad, to inculcate, remind and record our ways and values. On the stories, scripts, or screen play of your films, and its impact on the Nigerian/African cultural values (home and abroad),

How do you manage to harness, keep and pass them across in your films?
A well thought-out script, with proper revision where and when necessary is a key. Furthermore, we live the life and still have knowledgeable people (elders) within our communities, and sometimes borrow this wisdom to keep us a step ahead.

Where do you see the Nigerian movies industry in the next couple of years?
I see us competing with other top movie making continents, countries and industries. When you are not working (Acting, producing, directing or making a film),

What do you do or how do you pass the time?
I relax by way of sleeping, watch films and rehearse scripts I have written or that I am contracted to do.

What kind of music do you listen to and who is your favourite musician?
High life and Juju – King Sunny Ade Jazzy blues

What other messages do you have for your international fans in America, United kingdom, Europe, Africa and its Diaspora?
I request for more prayers from them. They should also bear in mind, I am privileged to be in a position to entertain them, and without them and God, I am nobody.

For any reason at all, how would you personally want your fans to remember you?
I will like to be remembered by my good works. I am giving my best to them at all time Barring any work or previous appointments,
