Did you know that cabbage leaves are also used by some women to help reduce swelled breasts, especially at the time while weaning a baby from breastfeeding?
Is it because the natural coldness the leaves preserve for a long time, or is it some active compound inside, researchers still can’t answer. The most important thing is that – it helps the pain and swelling.
So how and when to use this amazing natural treatment?
1. The cabbage should be fresh but kept in the refrigerator. That’s how the leaves will stay cool for a longer period!
2. You never use the outer leaves, mostly because they’re too thin and can’t keep the coolness for a period of time.
3. Clean the leaves one by one with running cold water.
4. Place them directly onto your breasts, wrapping each breast with a cabbage leaf.
5. It is very important to leave the nipples naked. You will allow the skin around them to stay dry and intact.
6. Wear a bra just to hold them – you don’t have to lock it in the back.
7. Leave the leaves until you can no longer feel the cold than take them off.
Cautions:
1. If you are still breastfeeding or pumping for your baby, don’t continue with the treatment for too long.
2. That might cause decreases in your milk and harm the natural process of breastfeeding.
3. After your breasts feel relieved and the swelling has gone, for now, stop the treatment for a while.
4. Repeat it continuously, but let time pass between treatments.

The recent killing of a Mobile Police Officer attached to the Anti-Aircraft Gun (AAG) unit of the Nigeria Police Force by an Army corporal after an altercation in Makara Area of Gwoza Local Government Area (LGA), in Borno State has continued to attract outpouring of anger.
The unnamed Army corporal extra-judicially killed Sergeant Rowland Tafida who was among the MOPOL Special Forces Team deployed to Gwoza last August, on counter-insurgency operations.
According to reports the late Police officer would have completed his six months anti-terrorism operation on February 8, 2020.
It was also learnt that Mr. Rowland, a father of two young girls, had already planned to depart Borno this coming Saturday before he was ‘callously’ murdered by the unidentified soldier.
An eyewitness who spoke to PRNigeria described the killing of Rowland as “unfortunate and disheartening”. He said the whole drama started with an altercation between the Army corporal and another Police personnel over a girlfriend.
The eyewitness, who pleaded not to be named, said: “Some people intervened and settled the matter when the aggrieved Army corporal asked a driver of an anti-aircraft gun Hilux belonging to his military base, to turn and directly face the Limankara Police Training Camp.
“Immediately after turning the vehicle, they opened fire and shot at the Camp’s facility. It was at that moment, Rowland Tafida, the late police sergeant, was killed by a stray bullet because he was not involved the earlier altercation. The blast of the anti-aircraft vehicle totally disfigured his left leg thigh as he was returning to the camp after he went to charge his phone somewhere.
“The young MOPOL officer could have survived the terrible assault, but nobody could take him to a medical facility as he lied in his own pool of blood, bleeding profusely and bled to death.”
Another eyewitness, a woman, stated that other police officers at the Limankara camp swiftly mobilized and immediately came out to protest against the ‘brutal’ killing of Rowland by the soldier.
She added that it took the intervention of an army major, who is the most senior officer in the location, to douse the rising tension.
“It was the Army major that came out to beg the aggrieved MOPOL personnel. He was the one who restored order and normalcy, otherwise, a mayhem would have erupted.
“After begging the police officers, the major arrested the “killer” corporal, and thereafter, the Army Theatre Command, contacted the Borno Police Command.
PRNigeria later gathered that both the military and Police constituted a joint fact-finding Committee to unravel the circumstances that gave rise to the ugly incident. The Committee had apprehended the culprit and took him to Maimalari Barrack in Maiduguri. The military has also taken responsibility for the damaged facilities at the Police camp.
Speaking with PRNigeria, his aunt, Mrs. Zwancit Dazang, said nobody from either the Police or Army authorities have called to inform them of Rowland’s death.
She said their murdered son was on his way to his Police camp at Limankara, last Sunday afternoon, without even knowing what earlier transpired between his fellow MOPOL officer and a soldier when he was shot and died on the spot.
“We only got to know about our son’s tragic death in the social media. He was dressed in combat boot, jeans and a MOPOL T-shirt, with his rifle strapped on his shoulder, when he was shot.”
Dazang, wondered why an anti-craft gun will be used on a fellow security officer by another security personnel.
She said: “The anti-aircraft truck, which is a lethal ammunition, has the ability to bring down a plane or helicopter from the sky. This is a dangerous firearm or ammunition that can even destroy an armoured tank. That a soldier will use it to eliminate an innocent, but a fellow security officer like him, is unimaginable.”
Mrs. Dazang, pointed out that her and the distraught family of Rowland are yet to recover from the grim shock of his death.
She said: “A vibrant Police officer, with a very young family, in a twinkle of an eye, was deliberately killed; His life wasted just like that: What was his fault? He wasn’t killed while fighting terrorists but by a soldier while walking, unprovoked and also did not provoked anyone. So, why take his life? That is barbaric, and wicked.”
She added: “As I speak to you now, the late Rowland’s wife is emotionally-broken. She has not seen her husband for so long. And both she and their two lovely daughters of five and two years respectively were looking forward to a reunion with their husband, and father, before this unavoidable tragedy struck.

“What has Rowland done for anyone to take his life? The soldier who killed Rowland must be brought to book. Our son was there in Borno to defend his country. So, why should he be eliminated by someone he never hurt, or offended?”
Attempts by PRNigeria to get reactions from both the spokespersons of the Nigerian Army and the Police, Colonel Sagir Musa and DCP Frank Mba proved abortive as their mobile line could not be reached while text messages sent were not replied.
The burial of the parents of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu comes up next week, precisely February 14. Already, tension is mounting in Afaraukwu, Umuahia, Abia state the country home of the Kanu’s.
Prince Emmanuel Kanu said they are not preparing for war as security agencies would want the world to know. He called on the Federal Government to allow them bury their parents in peace.
“I have a word for the Federal Government, they should allow us bury our parents in peace. Why are soldiers parading our community intermittently, who are they looking for? A community that is mourning, what are you coming there to look for? The soldiers parading Afaraukwu should be drafted to the North East where their services are needed.”
Growing up in our clime, we heard of mysterious stories that were extremely difficult to stomach. Stories that defiled logic and human comprehension. The stories were always hearsay or gleaned from the grapevines. The narrators were hardly the eyewitnesses. We call them, “I heard and I was told stories.”
A week ago, my neighbour whose husband died ten years ago came back, looking forlorn and ashen. Dejection was written all over her. Two days she was indoor still trying to solve the puzzle.
Yesterday morning, she came out, and I was forced to ask her, where she has been for the past few weeks. She mumbled something I couldn’t understand.
Later in the evening, she came to me and asked, whether I believe in life after death. I told her, No.
She sealed a deal with me, which was, I shouldn’t disclose what she’s about to tell me. I promised not to let the cat out of the bag.
She told me she left Abuja to Aba only to see her husband by the roadside selling plain clothes. When the man was alive in Abuja that was the business he was doing.
She continued, coughing and wiping her tears away.
That she didn’t call him or draw his attention. She started asking people around who he was. It was revealed to her that the husband who died ten years ago has been living in Aba. The thing that marveled her was that her husband has married with three kids.
When the dead husband closed selling for the day. She followed him until he got to his abode. She watched him enter his house.
She was moved to knock on the door. She later did. The man opened the door and it was her husband, but, on trying to touch him, the man vanished.

The National Emergency Management Agency has received another batch of 161 stranded Nigerians from Mtiga in Libya.
The acting Coordinator, Lagos Territorial Office, NEMA, Mr Ibrahim Farinloye, received the returnees on Thursday night in Lagos State.
Farinloye said that the Nigerians arrived the Cargo Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, late on Thursday night.
According to him, the returnees were brought via Al Buraq Air Boeing 737 aircraft with flight number UZ 189 and registration number 5A-DMG.
He said that the Nigerians were brought by the International Organisation for Migration and the European Union on the platform of the Assisted Voluntary Returnees Programme.
Farinloye also said that the returnees comprised of 48 female adults, four female children, five female infants as well as 102 adult males, one male child and one infant male.
Other agencies that received the returnees included the Nigeria Immigration Service and the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons.
Farinloye said: “This batch brought the total number of voluntary returnees from Libya to 14,045, which is made up of 8,200 males and 5,845 females.”
One of the returnees, an indigene of Akure, Ondo State, who preferred anonymity, while narrating her ordeal, said she was 19 years when she left Nigeria.
The returnee said that she spent a year and three months before she decided to return to Nigeria.
She explained that she left Nigeria due to pressure on her when her mother had mental health problems and the father of her child abandoned them.
“I was left with the tasks of fending for my siblings, mother and my daughter.
“My mother’s relations and friends abandoned us. I was a tailoring apprentice after my husband left us.
“My mum was thrown out of the house because we could not afford to pay for rent,’’ she narrated.
According to her, feeding became a serious problem, my siblings could not continue schooling and they dropped out of school.
“No one was there for us. I had no alternative than to seek more opportunities outside when I was told that I could secure good jobs.
“It was unfortunate that the so-called good jobs were meant to destroy our future. Most of our ladies are located in connection job while a handful in “Arabu” works.
“Arabu work is like the job of a housemaid which goes with unpleasant experience from torture to overworking into very late hours and waking up very early. The `connection job’ is like introducing ladies to prostitution.
“ The worst of it all was that all efforts to raise money became fruitless as militants or police could burst into our houses, robbed us of our belongings and went away with everything we had worked for over there,’’ she said.
According to her, trying to send something through a Nigerian, you have to part with the same amount you wish to send.
She explained that a Nigerian would collect cash and asked his relation in Nigeria to send half of the amount to the person that the money was meant for,” she said.
The returnee said: “I will never encourage anyone to embark on this type of perilous journey as it is just a waste of one’s life for the period spent on this type of journey. Though it was an experience but a very bad one.
“I need assistance to start my life. My mother is better health-wise and she is hawking pure water now.
“I learnt IOM and other organisations are helping people like us.
“ I want to complete my fashion designing apprenticeship but need to source for a means of feeding while I am under apprenticeship.”
