A research in mice and humans has found that consuming more than the recommended amount of salt disrupts the antibacterial function of a type of immune cell. According to medicalnewstoday.com, there were evidences that excess dietary salt raises blood pressure, which was a risk factor for heart disease and stroke. A recent study, published in Science Translational Medicine, however suggested that excess salt consumption could also make it harder for the immune system to destroy bacteria in some human organs. The researchers from the University Hospital of Bonn in Germany were surprised to discover that a high salt diet in mice exacerbated a common bacterial infection of the kidneys – Escherichia coli. To test whether the deleterious result of a high salt diet was purely a local effect on the kidneys, the researchers infected the mice with Listeria and found that the body-wide, systemic infection was also worse on a high salt diet. “These findings were unexpected because previous research has found that excess dietary salt prolongs healing in animals infected with skin parasites. “Skin acts as a reservoir for excess salt, and immune cells in the skin called macrophages are known to become more active in these salty conditions. In contrast, it seems that a different type of immune response cell, the neutrophil, which is key to the body fighting bacterial kidney infections, becomes less effective in the face of a high salt diet,” the researchers wrote.

BREAKING: Don’t resume on Monday, Sanwo-Olu orders civil servants
FlyJ posted a topic in Latest News and Gist
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has ordered all civil servants in the state to stay away from work on Monday, May 4. The PUNCH reports that the five-week-old total lockdown imposed on the nation’s economic capital terminates on Sunday night, May 3, and the new phase of gradual easing starts on Monday, as ordered by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.). But the governor in a statement on Sunday evening asked all its civil servants not to resume work immediately, noting that the delayed resumption is a deliberate attempt to prevent overcrowding in the state. He, however, added that emergency workers and those on essential duties would be allowed to work on Monday. Sanwo-Olu said, “In amending the work guidelines earlier issued, which stopped members of the public service from Grade Level 1 to 12 from going to work; we have had to review this position and we are extending the directive to all civil servants, regardless of level. All civil servants must stay away from work on Monday. “On Tuesday, only officers from Grade Level 15 and above have express permission to come to work. All other essential officers that may need to be at work will be informed by the Accounting Officer of each Ministry as may be required. “From Monday on, there will be a curfew from 8 pm to 6 am and all movements within these hours are prohibited, except for people on essential services, which are agro-products, petroleum products, relief materials, and food supplies. “We want to use this as a demonstration of our commitment to the gradual easing of the lockdown. We do not want people to rush out tomorrow and see the easing of the lockdown as an attempt to believe that the spread of the pandemic is all over.” According to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control on Saturday night, of the total 2388 coronavirus infections reported in the country, 1068 cases were recorded in Lagos with about 30 attendant fatalities and 247 recoveries, the highest by any state in Nigeria. The PUNCH reports that Sanwo-Olu recently launched the #MaskUpLagos campaign to sensitise the about 20 million population of the state on the need to wear face masks while in public places, observe social distancing and practice good hygiene as part of collective efforts to curb the spread of the lethal virus.

Some Grammatical Mistakes You Make And Things You Say Wrong
FlyJ posted a topic in Stories / Creative Writings
1) The verb – to make; Of course, you would have definitely seen some people make mistakes with this verb, it’s common to hear people say things like: “This picture makes me TO remember my past.” “Eating all the time will make you TO be fat.” “If you use this medicine, it will make you TO sleep.” I am sure you’ve already spotted the mistake, right? – Yeah, I made it obvious. The verb – to make doesn’t take “to” after it, so the correct thing to say in each sentence above is: “This picture makes me remember my past.” “Eating all the time will make you (be) fat” – in this kind of sentence, it’s more common and therefore more natural to skip the verb – “be”. “If you use this medicine, it will make you sleep.” The only time it’s fine to use “TO” after the verb – to make is when it is in the passive; for example, “I was made TO kneel down yesterday at school.” NOT I was made kneel down yesterday at school.” 2) The verb – to enable; This verb requires “to” after it, but it is so amusing that some people would leave out “to” using this verb but would use it with the verb “to make”. Here is an example: “This software will enable you TO work on your computer efficiently.” NOT “This software will enable you work on your computer efficiently.” 3) The verb – to allow; This verb also requires “to” after it. Here is an example: “My parents will not allow me TO go out today.” NOT “My parents will not allow me go out today.” 4) The verb – to reply; The mistakes made with this verb are pretty common, this verb is intransitive, which means it cannot go with a direct object, therefore, it needs a preposition for it to make sense, and therefore, you reply TO somebody or TO something. NOT reply somebody or something. “Why didn’t you reply my messages?” is WRONG. The correct thing is: “Why didn’t you reply TO my messages?” 5) The idiom – to be about to do something; Hahahaha , I remember hearing someone say: “I was just about asking same thing.” Well, the correct thing is: “I was just about TO ask you THE same thing.” 6) The noun – stuff; Yeah! This particular noun is such a pain in the ass for some people, it is uncountable, so, it cannot take an S after it and an indefinite article can’t be used with it either. “Please give me five minutes – I want to get my STUFF” NOT “Please give me five minutes – I want to get my stuffs”. “Where did you get all this stuff?” NOT “Where did you get all these stuffs?” “Where IS all my stuff?” NOT “Where are all my stuffs?” “This is good stuff.” NOT “This is a good stuff.” The only context where stuff can take an S is if it’s used as a verb: “Ade always stuffs himself with so much junk food.” 7) The nouns – slang and jargon; English is weird, yeah…but it’s not hard. So many people make mistakes with these nouns - These nouns are uncountable – yeah you read it right; UNCOUNTABLE. I remember reading an article sometime ago, it had: “20 slangs you will hear in Nigeria” as its title: If you’ve been reading this article carefully, you will have known what is wrong with the sentence. Numbers can’t be used with uncountable nouns, so the correct thing is: “20 SLANG WORDS/EXPRESSIONS/TERMS you will hear in Nigeria”. Or simply put: “Some slang you will hear in Nigeria.” – So you can use “some” with uncountable nouns and countable nouns as well. “That is internet slang.” NOT “That is an internet slang.” “Too much slang was used in the movie.” NOT “Too many slangs were used in the movie.” “His messages were full of jargon.” NOT “His messages were full of jargons.” 8 ) The noun – information; I don’t need to explain this, just keep it in mind that it is UNCOUNTABLE. “Thank you for that information.” NOT “Thank you for those informations” “What a wonderful piece of information!” NOT “What a wonderful information!” “I want to share some information with you.” NOT “I want to share you an information.” 9) The noun – advice; This is uncountable as well: make sure you do not mistake it for the verb: advise. The noun is spelt with a C and the verb with an S. “I need (some) advice from you.” NOT “I need some advices from you.” NOT “I need an advice from you.” 10) All what; If you’ve been saying this, then you need to STOP saying it! This is WRONG! It should be either: “All (that)” or “All OF what”. “All (that) I’ve been saying is that….” NOT “All what I’ve been saying is that…” 11) The noun – headache; Just as people make mistakes with uncountable nouns, they also do the same thing with countable nouns – it’s very common to hear “I am having headache”. This sentence is wrong. It should be: “I have a headache.” 12) The noun – news; This is an uncountable noun. “This is good news!” NOT “This is a good news!” 13) The expression – in the twinkling of an eye; I’ve heard and seen people say: “In the twinkle of an eye.” – This is wrong of course: it should be: “In the twinkling of an eye.” 14) The famous – “I don’t get”. Okay, I don’t want to be too annoying because I KNOW that some will get angry reading this article, but guess what? Learning never ends. We are used to saying this, but you should know that the verb – to get in this case is transitive, so it needs an object to sound okay. So I recommend that you start saying: “I don’t get IT.” Saying “I don’t get” has always sounded weird to me, I’ve asked some foreigners just to be sure it's not just me but they said it sounded weird to them as well. 15) The noun – furniture; I usually see furniture makers put up a sign like “ABC furnitures.” This doesn’t work in English; it’s an uncountable noun, so you already know the drill. “They like playing with furniture.” NOT “They like playing with furnitures.” Source -

A Florida police chief who allegedly claimed that his deputy died from complications from coronavirus because he is a “homosexual who attended homosexual ‘sexual’ events” has been suspended. Broward Sheriff’s Office deputy Shannon Bennett was 39 when died on April 3, just a week after testing positive for COVID-19. The Davie police officer had left work on March 23, feeling unwell, and went to the hospital the following day where he was tested for coronavirus. Bennett was a proudly out gay man who was due to marry his fiancé, Jonathan Frey, later this year. He is believed to be the first such line-of-duty death from COVID-19 in Florida. However, Davie Police chief Dale Engle commented that Bennett contracted the virus because he was a “homosexual who attended homosexual ‘sexual’ events”, a complaint against the chief alleged, according to WLPG Local 10. Police chief who allegedly said gay cop died of coronavirus because he attended ‘homosexual sexual events’ suspended. Florida Fraternal Order of Police chief of staff Mike Tucker issued the complaint Tuesday, alleging that Engle “berated” officers who expressed worry about coronavirus and yelled his “backstory” about how Bennett developed COVID-19. “This obviously was shocking to the members that were present, who are right now looking for reassurance,” Tucker told the outlet, “who were looking for guidance.” After the complaint, Engle was suspended from duty Saturday. “As of April 11, 2020, Police Chief Dale Engle was placed on Administrative leave pending further review of allegations brought forward by the Fraternal Order of Police,” Davie’s Town Administrator Richard Lemack said in a statement Saturday night. “The allegations will be investigated in accordance with the Town’s Equal Employment Opportunity compliance policy by outside counsel.” Tucker added: “For any reference to be made to the tragic passing of one of our brothers at the Broward Sheriff’s Office is, if true, is absolutely not only unacceptable but is just shameful. “And it’s not indicative of the professionals of the town of Davie that we know.” Source

Coronavirus: Churches are not places of infection but places of blessing
FlyJ posted a topic in Latest News and Gist
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has reacted to the decision of some state governors to relax the lockdown order in their states for churches to celebrate Easter. While preaching on Friday April 10th, Pastor Chris said the church is not a place of infection but rather a place of blessings. He prayed against anyone coming to church and getting infected. The clergyman who last week said the lockdown in Lagos and Abuja was for the Federal government to install 5G network in the state, said any wise government knows not to trouble the church. The best thing in any government is to always leave the church alone. It is always the best thing. The wisest leader understands that. They leave the church alone. When you trouble the church, there is a scripture'' he said. -
