CAUSES OF CANCER AND HOW IT CAN BE AVERTED
There are three major ways by which our health can be impaired;
* Through what we eat
* Through what we drink
* Through what we expose our body to
THROUGH WHAT WE DRINK
Some do not know that it is not advisable to drink a bottled water or sachet water that had been kept in the car for a day or more most especially when the weather is hot because this can cause CANCER in man. How? This is done through the carcinogenic particles of the bottle or nylon that had mixed with the water as a result of the heat which the bottle or nylon had been subject to.
In the same vein, it is dangerous to use a rubber cup or container to make hot tea or pap at home or in the office because the rubber cup can produce its particles into the hot food or drink that can cause cancer in man.
In addition, it is advisable not to be over-dependent on canned food or bottled drink because some chemicals used as preservatives are not body-friendly. Some react with the container in the presence of moisture to cause cancer in man when consumed.
THROUGH WHAT WE EXPOSE OUR BODY TO
Also, it is disastrous to over-expose our ear to long calls in the process of communication with our phones especially those that make night calls because one of the components of the phone panel is lead, Pb as an element which is liable to cause cancer in man. How? When making or receiving calls, heat will be produced in the phone panel, the longer the call the greater the quantity of heat that will be produced and vice versa thereby causing electromagnetic radiation that is the emission of the Lead particles that can cause cancer in man. For a long call, it is advisable to use earpiece (hand-on) while receiving or making long calls. Left ear is the best place for making or receiving short calls of one to two minutes because it is farther from the heart compared to the distance of the right ear to the heart all in the name of preventing heart cancer.
In summary, cancer is a disease of cells of tissues to undergo uncontrolled or rapid procreation or reproduction. This cannot be possible if there is no something or substance of any form that will trigger the abnormal reproduction of the cells through our day to day activities. The emanation of cancer is not instantaneous and its outgrowth can be curbed at the early stage. It has many form, namely; ovarian cancer, skin cancer, cancer of the eye, lung cancer etc. Cancer is a cell disease meaning that wherever there is cell, cancer is probable to occur. Cell is the unit of life in man. In Biology, cell is defined as the smallest, basic and functional unit of life. No cell no life. Cells in tissue, tissues in organ, organs in system, systems in organism. Organism is man, macro-organism.

Talebearing24- What A Funny Hunting!
Toye, Taye and Kehinde were children
of the same father but of two mothers. Toye was the eldest son among them of
age eighteen years. Their father was a driver and a subsistence farmer while
both mothers were traders. These children used to go to farm on weekends
especially Saturday when their father was out for driving. Their farm was a bit
far from their dwellings so they went there by vehicles. The common vehicle on
this road was tippers because of the presence of quarry in this area. Every
Saturday, they would go to Tipper Park whenever their father did not go with
them for free transportation because some of these drivers knew their father
with them.
After getting to the farm under no
supervision, they would work for three hours on farm and went for hunting.
Snails and crabs were their targets on several occasions and they would pick as
many as possible especially in the rainy season. Plucking of ripe pawpaw in
their farm was not left out. There was no day they would go to farm without
coming home with one thing of the other. Even their friends in their neighborhood
always waited for them from farm because of what they would enjoy from their
return.
One day, after work on farm as usual
they tried all they could to pick snails and crabs but no way because that was
towards the dry season. They decided to go fishing by using the hook and line
they had kept for so long on farm. Taye searched for bait they would use and he
was able to get few being in the dry season. They started fishing and small
fishes were being caught. The day was going dark little by little. All of

Talebearing24- What A Beautiful Change in Ronald's Life!
Once upon a time, Ronald was
very troublesome and playful. Anytime he was sent on an errand, he would go his
way, playing football from one street to the other. He would never come home
until Ten O'clock or after. Beating little children in his neighborhood was
very common thereby reporting his notorious attitudes from different quarters
to his parents. His parents were tired of these non-profitable and barbaric
characters of him.
One day, his parents went to his
school to report him and seek for their advice. On getting there, they were
very flabbergasted with what they met on ground because they had been waiting
for them to come and hear what their son had done in the school. His teacher
brought the record of his misdeeds. He didn't always stay in the class.
Whenever, he was in the class, he would cause trouble and confusion. His class
teacher studied him very well and devised a mechanism of counseling which later
proved futile thereby adopting punishment as the last resort. Ronald could not
stay for five hours in the class without serving three-hour punishment.
With all these reports, Ronald’s
parents were very unhappy and humbly asked the Principal and his teacher on
what to do. Ronald was in Senior Secondary School 1 then and his teacher
advised his parents to seat him down and ask him what he wanted to do. After
making his choice, took him to their religious leader

Talebearing24- Enjoyment in Brilliance!
Eze's
school days were very interesting! Going by the saying "there is love in
sharing", Eze gave chances to his intimate friends to peep into his work
during tests and examinations. Although he knew that what he was doing was
wrong and severally he was removed from their midst into another seat where he
would not be disturbed. His friends would not be happy with his removal but
there was nothing they could do.
Much attention was placed on Eze in
the class and his female classmates started inviting him to their rooms for
tutorials. Eze would eat in their rooms and teach them some difficult topics or
exercises they found tedious in the class. Eze could count the number of days
he cooked food in school. Because of this, he was appointed the class
Representative and had some responsibilities at his shoulder. He did
excellently well on this post and he was advised to go for Student Union
appointment but he turned down the advice because he

Talebearing24- A Friend Fell From A Tall Tree
A childhood friend of mine in my neighborhood
called Kingley going to the same school and attending the same church with me
could not forget a day he fell from a mango tree not too far from my dwelling. Kingsley
and I used to go to school together in the morning and waited for each other
after closing hour so that we could come home together being the fact that we
were living in the same neighborhood and our parents because of us were also
friends.
I could remember vividly we were in
Senior Secondary School 1 then when we noticed that there was a tall mango tree
not far from my house. Then was the season of mango, apart from the mango trees
that we used to visit after school hour to pluck the ripe ones, we also paid
visit to the nearby ones. Sometimes, we went to pluck ripe mango on our way
home and ate all so that we would not be suspicious and beaten. This did not
affect our house chores even my friend used to hawk after school hour while I
would wash dirty plates we used in the morning when rushing to school. This was
how we were plucking the ripe mangoes around without the consent of our
parents.
One day, I did not go to school
because I was ill but Kingsley went and on his way home, he branched at the
mango tree not too far from my house to pluck the ripe mangoes. On getting
there, he saw three ripe mangoes at the top of the trees, he continuously threw
sticks to them but he could not get them, then he decided to climb this tree
and found his way to the top of the tree where these ripe mangoes were hung not
knowing that what was good was not meant for a single person. When he got
there, he met a snake and he was seriously scared therefore rushing down from
the tree but because he was frightened, one of his hands missed the tree and he
fell. When he got down, he even thought he was dead because the tree branches
with the leaves beat him mercilessly on his way down but he was able to walk
again with his eyes red and his school uniform dirty and torn.
I was
outside the house when he was coming from this mango tree and narrated his
ordeal. What a pity!

Talebearing24- No Experience Is Lost!
Honeybee is
believed to be a dangerous flying insect while the honey extracted from the
honeycomb where the honeybee lives is very sweet and performs a lot of
medicinal purposes. Honey is consumed raw or diluted and in refined form.
Honeycomb is found in the hollow cavity of a tree where they believe that it is
hidden from human beings and their activities. I personally had never seen the
honeycomb before until the day we found one in the hole of a cut tree by the
operator. It started like a play on this day, he was felling trees as usual and
it was getting dark before we noticed that the last tree he fell had honeycomb
full of honey as well as the bees at the top of the tree.
Immediately
this tree fell, the bees started flying around to sting any animal that came
their way in order to prevent their home. Initially, we had been told to remove
our top to prevent the entry of the bees into our clothes. The operator told us
to look for a big and clean bucket, this was around 18:45hours. He gathered
some dry logs of wood and set it on fire very close to the place where the
honeycomb was hidden in the tree in order to drive away the flying bees so that
we could extract the honeycomb.
Because of
the heat, the operator could not use the bare hand to draw the honeycomb into
the metal bucket but the cutlass instead while we were at a distance watching
the process and later I personally moved

Talebearing24- Childhood Ugly Experience In My Neighbourhood
There
were lots of enjoyment and sadness in my childhood. Many moments were
interesting and good to be remembered while some were so pathetic to be
forgotten. Although, I had learnt my lessons but I can't do without
recollecting what had happened then. For instance, there was a day during our
struggling time as boys in my neighborhood; we went to do a menial job in order
to keep body and soul together outside the city and at the same time to help
our parents with little expenses. Whereas that was not the first time of going
out for such outing but this particular day will never be erased from my
memory.
This type
of menial job was a lumbering form. Matured trees were found in the outskirt of
the State so we traveled many kilometers away from the city. The amount of
money each person made per trip depended on the number of sliced planks each
person was able to carry from where they were
sliced to the place where they would be transported to the market with respect
to the distance. As usual, we met the sliced
