Do you recall reading about the need for Calcium in our body system on this blog site?

Yes we were all informed and excited about the mineral requirements for good health in growing families and even adults in general.
If you remember, we mentioned some certain facts and let’s state them again…

Calcium is most abundant mineral in the body with over 99% stored in the bones and teeth, and the remaining 1% in the body’s tissues and intercellular fluids.
The skeleton of a young adult male contains about 1.2kg of this body nutrient - calcium
It is also important for nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, blood clotting, lowering blood pressure, the stimulation of hormone secretion and the activation of enzyme reaction.
Typically in children there is more deposition to build bone. In adults deposition roughly equals absorption to maintain bone strength.
In response to the daily need for calcium, the foremost provider of nutritional value for growing families, Promasidor Nigeria Limited has recently re-launched their premium milk brand Loya milk for the benefit all.

It is joy to the heart that a Nigerian company has taken up that we all get the best of calcium in our diets with the improved and re-fortified Loya milk with 50% more calcium. The repackaged and refortified Loya milk offers consumers more Calcium for building and maintaining better bones, tougher teeth and a healthier heart. To maintain bone strength, the body continually balances absorption and deposition of calcium into new bone.

So really we all, young and old do need calcium hence  when the news broke that the re-packaged LOYA milk being refortified with 50% more Calcium, than before , what a relief that  finally someone cares about us enough to give us exactly what we need, especially in this side of the world where our diet is heavily carbohydrates based.

The special guest of honours at the launch event were Professor Ignatius Onimawo, National President Nutrition Society of Nigeria and Mrs. Mary Jane Umeh, National secretary of the Dietician Association of Nigeria with key note addresses on the “value of calcium to a growing Nigerian family” .

The Managing Director Promasidor Nig.Limited Mr. Keith Richards said at the event; “We have really done our homework on the refortified Hi-calcium Loya milk, and this we did in order to offer the growing Nigerian family both young and young at heart a product that offers them not only a healthier diet mix but also top shelf quality that meets worlds class standards”

Speaking further, the GM marketing Promasidor Kachi Onubogu asserts “Calcium is an essential part of our everyday lives especially in our growing children and we have introduced the a calcium-Loya® milk to demonstrate that we do care about our consumer welfare and overall health status, so we are really excited about this and how well this product will do in the market based on the nutritional value we are bringing to the growing family in Nigeria”

And according to the National Secretary of the Dietician Association of Nigeria Mrs. Mary Jane Umeh of the Nnamdi Azikwe University Teaching Hospital says “ We all should greatly appreciate Promasidor Nigeria Limited for all their efforts and since calcium is a major component of mineralized tissues that is required for normal growth and skeletal development, optimal calcium intake is important for every member of a growing family to maximize peak adult bone mass and its  maintenance, to minimize the elderly bone loss and prevent a number of common chronic medical disorders in our families in particular and Nigeria at large”

The new Loya milk comes in various pack sizes like the 400g & 900g in Tins and 22g & 400g Sachet all at affordable prices. The new Loya milk Five Star promises are:
·    Loya is made from the highest quality fresh cows’ milk under strict quality control conditions

GUESS WHO IS BACK!WEIRD MC RETURNS WITH TWO 'BANGING' SINGLES

[caption id="attachment_2048" align="alignleft" width="500" caption="Weird MC"][/caption]

The bestselling rapper, songwriter, performer and entrepreneur who has
been working on her third studio album for years, premiered two
singles ‘Jehovah (Da Paper Song)’ and ‘Don’t Stop (Se were)’ at
09:07AM on November 9. Both singles feature Switch and Dr Pat
respectively; and were produced by Legendary Beatz.
Weird MC’s label is called 0907 – named after her birth day July 9.
And this is not the first time she’ll be playing with the 9th day in
premiering her songs or videos. This time around, her reps say, the
new singles were premiered globally on 9 radio stations and 9 websites
at 9:07AM on November 9.

‘She’s spent over 18 years in the game, sold over 10 million albums
and won hundreds of awards across the continent. She has inspired
dozens of female acts and stayed relevant despite all odds. She’s
Nigeria’s most daring female hip hop act and we’re happy to deliver
these gift – her new singles – to her loyal fans who have waited for
years for this album’ a statement from her label 0907/FK says.
The new singles are the final set of materials from her pending third
album ‘Broken Silence’. Earlier singles include ‘Riranwo’, ‘Step up’
and ‘Happy Day’ – both already bonafide hits and chart toppers on both
radio and TV. The album is scheduled for a late 2010 release.

Born Adeshola Idowu, Weird MC first gained national recognition in
1997 with her hit single 'Allen Avenue' which won her the award for
the Best Hip Hop act at the first edition of the Awards for Musical
Excellence (Amen awards) in October 2008, after which she went on a
long sabbatical. She made a comeback in 2005 with her monster hit 'Ijo
ya'. Her influences include Miriam Makeba, Femi Kuti, Lauren Hill,
Jimi Hendrix and others.

Her first album 'Simply Weird' was Nigeria's first full-length rap
album, earning her a position as a pioneer of the hip hop industry in
Nigeria.  And when many were expecting her to fall below standard with
her belated sophomore album 'After Da Storm', she took the game to a
whole new level, establishing herself as one of the continent’s most
amazing performers and a multi-faceted entertainer. With the new
achievements came brand statements like the elongated ‘gele’ which
remained her signature for years.

‘We’re back again’ she says. ‘People should get ready for the full
album. Yes we’ve just dropped two fresh bangers, but these are just
samples of what the full album will be like. It’s been so long coming,
I’m excited!’ Weird Mc says.
Weird MC has collaborated on stage and in the studio with the likes of
Femi Kuti, Lagbaja, Yinka Davies, Psquare, Don Jazzy, Tony Allen,
Wunmi, Kween and Ashley Beedle. She has also toured extensively with
the Shrine Syncro Sound System, Afro Celts, and with her own band,
taking Womex by storm and performing across the length and breadth of
Africa.

On record she has featured on 'Rhythmic Altered State' with RAS from
Berlin, Tony Allen’s 'Home Cooking' and the Original Afrobeat
Compilation. Her song 'Palava' has been included in two major global
vibes compilations: EMI's World 2003 (selected by Charlie Gillett) and
Peace Lounge Recordings' 'Pop d'Europe: Migrating Sounds In and Out of
Europe’. Weird MC also has a track (‘What Are You Waiting For?’) on
the Backbone Music compilation 'Have You Got Skills? Vol.1', a
collaboration with Africa On Your Street host JJC and his group 419
Squad. Her last album ‘After the storm’ featured on many respected
charts across the world and sold over 10 million hard and digital
copies.
