BEING fit is not just about what you eat and drink or how you move. It’s about having the right mindset and enough energy to be active and to choose healthy food. Many people go wrong by eating a breakfast made up mostly of refined carbohydrates with very little fibre and protein — like a refined-flour bagel, a muffin made with sugar and white flour, or a sugary low-fibre breakfast cereal.

The police in Lagos are doing well and they have all it takes to handle the situation. “All they need is information. That is the reason for this meeting.
