Ilé Eros is a polished casual dining restaurant which is a blend of fine dining and casual dining. I remember back in the days of the Dodo Special era by Chef Eros at La Saison Café so not surprised he has brought back this aspect of his culinary journey in addition to his cakes – Cookie Jar. Ile simply means home so its House/Home of Eros or perhaps if you like Casa Eros. Ile Eros is located off one of the busy streets in Lekki Phase 1 and that in itself is not so bad as it’s not deep in the neck of the woods in terms of access. The décor at Ile Eros has a traditional feel to it with Ankara curtains, local wall décor and some art paintings which are sparsely spread out in the space. There is a Patio outside with some fans which I think is ideal for evening rocks. The internal seating area at Ile Eros is quite limited and reservations are highly recommended. The Dambunama rolls and the Akara coconut prawns Mains - Steak jollof rice and smoked chicken pasta Ile Eros Summary Ambience African inspired decor. Cosy and intimate space with a well-aired patio Food Quality The Smoked Pasta I’ll rank as the star dish at Ile Eros followed by the Pureed Asaro and then the Steak Jollof Rice.

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.

The lockdown has affected many Nigerians, especially the poor and other vulnerable groups. To shed some light on the situation about how the pandemic is affecting the LGBTIQ+ community in Nigeria, we reached out to LGBTIQ+ human rights activists.

(Photo source: Facebook) Emmanuella David-Ette, an intersex-trans activist, said she now is forced to remain indoors and her work is put on hold. David-Ette supports trans, intersex and gender non-conforming persons in Nigeria through her organization Dynamic Initiative for Healthcare & Human Rights (DIHHR), “My work involves reaching out to transgender, intersex & gender non-conforming individuals and offering them psychosocial support, paralegal services. Sometimes in the process, I collect important information which helps me to plan future interventions. But given the situation, I too also need to observe social distancing as directed by the government, so now I have to stay indoors,” she said. A trans woman who asked to stay anonymous said she’s depressed from staying indoors. “I’m been isolated in my own walls without provision for survival and these alone cause depression for a person. My mental health is severely being affected,” she said. Uyo-based trans-activist said she’s concerned about her job as the population she works with has become harder to reach.

The lockdown “has created a huge limitation at work, church, etc. My organization [works with key populations at risk of contracting HIV] in both rural and urban areas, but with the current lockdown, we can’t have access to this category of persons anymore because everyone’s adhering to the lockdown policy and, as we know — no work, no pay!” LGBT human rights activist and HIV advocate Somadina said the situation has made it difficult for many LGBTIQ+ persons living with HIV to access their medications. “This lockdown has limited movements, so I am unable to hold my usual peer-education sessions with LGBTIQ persons within my area. This means that I am unable to offer counseling to the ones who need it, educate them on safety measures, share condoms and lubes to them in the promotion of safe sex, and proffer solutions to their challenges. Many of my peers are not able to access treatment and counseling for HIV, making their risk level of contracting COVID-19 very high” Nigerian LGBTIQ+ human rights activist Samuel Uchenna. (Photo source: Facebook) Asaba-based LGBTIQ+ human rights activist Samuel Uchenna shared similar concerns. He stated that the lockdown has made it difficult to reach members of the community who need support, including those who were already being supported by his organization. “Due to the lockdown, we have been unable to meet with some of our clients who might be in need of a refill of their ART [antiretroviral therapy for people living with HIV], particularly those living outside Asaba. “Community members cannot access our facility for a refill of consumables like condoms and lubricants. However, we may not meet all the demands now but we are providing support and reaching out to as many community members as we can through phone contacts, house visits, and online counseling,” he added.

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.

Rumours of a gay character on a Turkish Netflix series have fuelled anti-LGBT bigotry in the country. New Turkish coming-of-age drama Love 101, which is set to begin on April 24, unleashed a torrent of fury over unconfirmed rumours that it will feature a gay character. It’s technically legal to be gay in Turkey, but LGBT+ people in the country have few legal rights and face extreme stigma – with Pride parades still often brutally repressed by police. The Love 101 rumours have fuelled a homophobic moral panic in the country. Turkish TV watchdog says country ‘will not tolerate’ gay character on Netflix show. According to Reuters, the president of the Radio and Television Supreme Council Ebubekir Sahin made clear: “We will not tolerate broadcasts that are contrary to the national and spiritual values of our society.” Online, posts have racked up thousands of likes accusing Netflix of “trying to normalise immorality”, branding the streaming giant “Islam’s enemy” for airing the show during Ramadan, Netflix – which has championed LGBT+ representation in many of its releases – has not confirmed or denied reports about the show, but has warned of “misinformation” spreading online. The streaming giant told Turkish media: “A lot of false information is spreading from fake accounts… believe only what you hear from us about the series and the characters, not the rumours.” An official release states of the show: “Set primarily in 1998, with present day vignettes that frame each episode, LOVE 101 follows a group of 17-year-old misfits who set their mind on keeping their favourite teacher in town, so that they can stay in school. “They plot for her to fall in love with the new basketball coach, but in doing so they don’t realize that they are actually discovering love themselves. “Through this journey they will learn they have more in common than they know, are stronger together than they are apart and that love can’t be manufactured.” Plenty of people want better LGBT+ representation in Turkey While the show has faced a homophobic backlash, plenty of Turks on social media are crying out for better LGBT+ representation. One wrote: “i wasn’t planning on watching this show but homophobes were so loud and got me interested in the show. thank u a**holes for free publicity”. Another added: “Netflix Turkey said gay rights. And the homophobes stay mad”. But homophobia in the country is no joke. In June 2019, police clad in riot gear fired tear gas at Istanbul Pride marchers to disrupt the event, marking the fifth year the event has been prevented from going ahead. Source
