Do you eat dinner late at night and go to bed less than three hours later? You know the old adage that eating a late dinner will make you gain weight? Well, it is true but there are more reasons not to eat late.

Late night eating has been discouraged for the longest time. However, there have been people who argue that it does not matter what time of the day you eat as long as you eat healthy. Here are some consequences you might not have thought about before downing a whole meal and crawling right into bed.

Eating too close to bedtime can actually cause indigestion and heartburn, and make you more restless during the night. Research has found that the digestive process can have serious implications on your sleep cycle, causing you to wake up more often, and have a harder time falling asleep in the first place.
One of the most important reasons why you should avoid eating late at night is due to the possible risk of weight gain associated with this habit. People who are trying to lose weight should avoid eating at least two hours before they go to bed. If you must have something to snack on in the evening, consider choosing fruits, vegetables or other products which are low in fat and calories.
One last reason why you may want to avoid eating late at night is that doing so may increase the number of times that you need to get up to use the restroom during the night. Eating late at night will result in food being digested during your sleeping hours,and because of this, you may need to wake up to eliminate the waste products. If you are really hungry late at night, consider eating foods with high amounts of fiber, such as whole grains. These products take a long time to digest, and won’t need to be excreted for at least eight hours.
There you have it, avoid eating late at night or just before bed as the consequences are dangerous to our bodies.

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari addresses a Franco-Nigerian business forum at French employer association Medef's headquarters in Paris on September 15, 2015.

Corruption in Nigeria is endemic and as expected, has done more harm to Nigeria’s growth and development than good.

While the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, has long identified corruption as one of the issues bedeviling Nigeria, the current war against corruption is dead on arrival if certain key and far-reaching decisions are not taken to win the war.

President Buhari has not hidden his disdain for corrupt acts and has gone after alleged corrupt past government officials

Before now, many analysts in Nigeria have called for the review of the 1999 constitution which in many ways shields those in government in various ways even when acts of corruption are committed by public officials.

According to Nigeria’s former ambassador to Switzerland, Dr Humphrey Orjiako, certain constitutional provisions and statutory practices stall Nigeria’s nation-growth and reinforce the proclivity towards dissension.
1. Immunity Clause

It is a legacy of dubious value from three decades of authoritarian military rule which has unfortunately been adopted by democratic forces since 1999. The immunity provision protects and shields from prosecution elected executive officials who deliberately use their office to commit acts of corruption, pre-assured of no consequence for their actions.

2. Security Vote

A constitutional provision that enables the president or any state governor to disburse humongous sums of public money without any form of scrutiny, oversight or accountability even from the legislative arms of government. Presidents and governors in successive Nigerian governments at the state and federal level have continuously taken advantage of this to dip their hands into public purse for private gains.

3. Weak Institutions

In a speech delivered by outgoing US president Barrack Obama in 2013, he stated that Africa needs strong institutions and not strong men. Indeed, this is the bane of most African countries including Nigeria, where public officials are like tin gods and continually weaken institutions either by acts of omission of commission in order for their impunity to continue unabated. Many have used the advantage to line their pockets and leave democratic institutions begging for reform.

4. Secrecy in government

A perfect example is the security vote stated above. Despite the passage of the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill in 2013, openness, transparency and accountability requirements in public institutions are almost going into extinction. The conspiracy of government secrets and self-assessment in Nigerian bureaucracies has made it easy for government officials to dip their hands into public funds without query from any quarters

Immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan, on Monday said it was impossible for the National Security Adviser (NSA) during his administration to have stolen $2.2 billion.

While speaking at the famous Oxford Union in United Kingdom on the subject of promoting youth entrepreneurship, former president, Goodluck Jonathan, on Monday, said it was impossible for Sambo Dasuki, the National Security Adviser (NSA) during his administration, to steal $2.2 billion as claimed by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).

According to a report by Premium Times, Jonathan disclosed that it was “not just possible” for Dasuki to steal $2.2 billion after his administration procured several equipment for the country’s military.

“They said the National Security Adviser stole $2.2billion. I don’t believe somebody can just steal $2.2 billion. We bought warships, we bought aircraft, we bought lots of weapons for the army and so on and so forth and you are still saying 2.2 billion, so where did we get the money to buy all those things?” he asked while responding to a question about the alleged missing arms procurement fund now referred to a Dasukigate by the Nigerian media.

While admitting that corruption was an issue during his administration, the former president said that some of the allegations have been “exaggerated”.

“Yes, there were some issues; yes, there are still corruption issues; but some of it were blown, I’d say exaggerated, and they give a very bad impression about our nation. You cannot say the national security adviser stole $2.2billion. It is not just possible,” he said.

The immediate past president however, said that as some of the corruption cases are still in court, he would rather allow the legal processes to reveal the facts of the matter and that he doesn’t want to appear as challenging the incumbent government.

“One thing about the issue of corruption is that these matter are in court, let’s allow some of these processes to end. Lately some judges’ (homes) were also invaded. There are so many things involved and we have to follow up these matters to conclusion before we know the fact.

“I don’t want to be seen as a former president challenging what the sitting government is doing so I have decided to keep quiet for the court to look into them,” he said.

He said that allegations of corruption were not unique to his administration, adding that governments have been overthrown in the past because they were accused of being corrupt only for the new administration itself be pushed out of power by another junta touting the anti-corruption mantra.

“You will see that it has become a major topic whenever there is a change of government,” he said, and further argued that corruption is a global problem but the perception of corruption is greater in Nigeria due to the Nigerian media obsession with reporting on corruption.

“I am not saying there is no corruption in Nigeria, there is corruption. If you look at corruption there is almost no country that is free, the degree varies, the perception varies.

“Transparency International talks about the way corruption is being perceived in different economies, why do we talk about the way corruption is being perceived, it depends on the issue raised in the media every day,” he said.
