<h1>A medical practitioner at Healing Grace Hospital, Ilorin, Dr Olawale Bello, has warned Nigerians against not sleeping well as it could hurt the immune system.</h1>

Bello told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Ilorin that sleep deprivation rendered the human body prone to many ailments.

He advised that in spite of people’s busy schedule, they should make out time to have enough rest for a healthy life.

”As an adult, one needs up to 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night, but some people don’t know this or decide to just do as they like.

”Some people don’t even get to sleep at all during the night while some get as low as two or three hours which isn’t good enough.

”Once you are not getting good sleep, your skin may soon show it. Sleep deprivation also hurts the immune system, leaving your body open to many different issues,” Bello said.

He added that waking up with a sore throat, dry mouth, or headache could also point to a medical reason that one is sleeping poorly.

According to Bello, lack of sleep could also cause some skin disorders.

”Redness, puffiness, dark circles, and bags are all signs that you’re not getting enough shut-eye, and the sleep-deprived tend to get more wrinkles, lines, swelling, and droopiness.

”This is because it may be that the body misses out on the hormone control and tissue repair that happens in deep sleep stages,” he said.

The medical expert however advised that people should always have regular exercise especially workout, that gets the heart pumping to promote deeper sleep.

”It is good if one can stick to a schedule, which means going to bed and waking up about the same time each day. Keeping the room quiet and dark also helps,” Bello said.

<h1>Beneficiaries of President Muhammadu Buhari’s various intervention programmes in Kwara state have declared their support for his re-election and all APC’s candidates in the state. </h1>

They declared their support for the president on Friday at a rally organised by ‘Speak up Nigeria’, a pro-Buhari civic group that is harvesting people’s opinion of the administration.

Speaking one after the other, the beneficiaries said the Buhari administration had brought succour to millions of down trodden masses in the rural areas.

Alhaja Risikat Agbeyangi, a pepper seller and beneficiary of Trader Moni at the popular Ipata market, hailed Buhari for bringing governance directly to the poor.

“We thank the president for his support to us; it was timely and met our personal and business needs, some of us expanded our business with it.

“We have resolved to declare our support for Buhari and his supporters in Kwara state against all odds,” she added.

Kabir Balogun, a beneficiary of N-Power Health, said the programme was a great boost for public health at the grassroots as masses now have direct access to tips on basic health issues.

A beneficiary of the N-Teach and resident of Magaji Ngeri of Ilorin West, Jimba Yahya, thanked Buhari for the employment opportunity.

“I want to advice Nigerian youths to vote Buhari and Pastor Yemi Osinbajo who saw us as productive elements in the nation and not just instruments of political violence.

“I am grateful for the employment opportunity they gave me and my fellow Nigerian Youths,” he said.

Omowunmi Akinsefunmi, a resident of Basin road in Ilorin, said the N-Power scheme offered her internship opportunity to train as a technician.

“I appeal to Nigerian youths to see voting Buhari again as opportunity to a better Nigeria as we cannot afford going back to the bad old days,” she added.

Malam Aliyu Dansokoto, a pepper seller also in Ipata Market and beneficiary of Market Moni also commended the president for bringing succour to his life.

“The N10,000 given to us by the President Buhari-led Federal Government aided our business and we found things easy during his tenure.

“I am appealing to Nigerians to vote Buhari again for a better Nigeria,” he said.

Kwara State public relations spokesman of N-Power beneficiaries, Salman Habeeb Olesin, said the Buhari administration had brought succour to millions of unemployed youths in the country.

“President Buhari has employed over 500,000 youths through the N-Power programme.

“I am a trained teacher, lying idle before Buhari came, but he gave me the opportunity of practicing and making a living out of what I know and have passion for, teaching.

“I want PMB to continue beyond 2019,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that besides the 500,000 youths in the graduate N-Power scheme, no fewer than 50,000 others are in the non-graduate component learning various skills.
