🇳🇬 Nigeria Bids Final Farewell to Former President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura Daura, Katsina State — July 15, 2025 It was a solemn day in Daura, Katsina State, as Nigeria laid former President Muhammadu Buhari to rest. The 81-year-old ex-leader passed away on Saturday, July 13, after a brief illness, sparking an outpouring of emotion across the country. His burial took place Monday afternoon in his hometown, surrounded by family, political allies, and dignitaries from across Nigeria and beyond. In a fitting tribute, Buhari was given full military honors—including a 21-gun salute and a ceremonial guard—as part of the state funeral. A Nation Mourns President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who succeeded Buhari in 2023, led the delegation of officials at the burial. Also in attendance were state governors, National Assembly members, traditional rulers, religious leaders, and representatives from neighboring countries. President Tinubu described Buhari as “a disciplined leader who loved Nigeria deeply,” adding that his legacy would live on in the hearts of many. The federal government has declared a seven-day national mourning period, during which all national flags will be flown at half-mast. From Soldier to Statesman Buhari's life was nothing short of remarkable. From his early days in the military to leading the country as a military ruler in the 1980s, and then again as a two-term civilian president from 2015 to 2023, Buhari was a central figure in Nigeria's political story. His presidency was marked by a strong anti-corruption campaign, a focus on infrastructure, and sometimes-controversial economic decisions. While he was widely respected for his discipline and frugal lifestyle, many Nigerians also criticized him for rising insecurity and economic challenges during his time in office. Tributes from Near and Far Reactions to Buhari’s passing have come from all corners. Social media has been flooded with messages of condolence, with hashtags like #RIPBuhari and #DauraStrongman trending throughout the weekend. Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo called him “a man of principle,” while other public figures—including critics like Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka—offered their prayers and respects. A Moment for Reflection Buhari’s passing has stirred reflection among Nigerians, prompting conversations about his achievements, his challenges, and the direction of the country moving forward. Love him or not, many agree: Buhari left a mark on Nigeria’s political landscape that won’t soon be forgotten. His family has asked for privacy as they mourn, but a national remembrance event is expected to be announced in the coming days.

Tired But Can’t Sleep? The Hidden Link Between Anxiety and Insomnia Ever crawl into bed, physically exhausted, but your mind just won’t shut up? You toss. You turn. You check the clock. Again. And despite needing rest more than ever, your body refuses to power down. Sound familiar? You’re not alone and you’re not just “thinking too much.” This frustrating cycle of being tired but sleepless is often rooted in anxiety, and the connection runs deeper than most people realize. The Silent Tug-of-War Between Your Mind and Body When you’re anxious whether it's from everyday stress or a deeper mental health issue your brain kicks into high alert. Your heart rate might stay elevated. Your thoughts start racing. Your body stays in “fight or flight” mode, even when it’s bedtime. And no matter how tired you feel, your brain acts like it’s preparing for battle. It’s like hitting the brakes and the gas pedal at the same time. Everyday Habits That Make It Worse Without even knowing it, some of our daily routines quietly feed this cycle. For example: Endless scrolling before bed overstimulates the brain and floods your system with blue light, which blocks melatonin the hormone that helps you sleep. Late afternoon caffeine might seem harmless, but it can stick around in your system for hours. Overthinking tomorrow’s to-do list while lying in bed? It signals your brain that there’s still work to do—even if your body is screaming for rest. What Lack of Sleep Does to Anxiety Here’s the tough part: the less sleep you get, the worse your anxiety becomes the next day. That brain fog? The irritability? The restlessness? They all feed back into the same loop, making sleep even harder the following night. It’s a cycle that wears you down mentally, emotionally, and even physically. So What Can You Do? Breaking the cycle doesn’t happen overnight (pun intended), but small changes go a long way: Create a wind-down routine: Start dimming the lights an hour before bed. Stretch. Read. Journal. Do anything calming away from screens. Cut back on stimulants: Limit caffeine after noon and avoid sugary snacks late in the day. Try grounding techniques: Breathing exercises or body scans can calm the nervous system and shift your body into “rest mode.” Stick to a sleep schedule: Try to sleep and wake at the same time every day even on weekends. Consistency helps reset your internal clock. When to Talk to Someone If your sleep struggles persist for weeks, or if your anxiety feels overwhelming, talk to a professional. Therapy or even short-term medication can help break the cycle and give you space to heal mentally and physically. Final Thoughts You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. Your body is simply trying to survive in a world that doesn’t always slow down. The first step to getting better sleep might just be giving yourself grace and realizing that rest is just as much mental as it is physical. Take it one night at a time

"Drugs & the Mind: Why Some People Lose It After One Try, While Others Seem ‘Fine’" Have you ever wondered why some people take hard drugs once and experience mental breakdowns, while others use them for years and appear normal? It’s a mystery that leaves many people confused. The truth is, no one is truly 'safe' from the effects of drug abuse—it all comes down to how drugs interact with the brain, genetics, and individual mental health. Let’s break it down. 🧠 1. The Brain Factor: How Drugs Mess with Your Mind When you take hard drugs like cocaine, meth, or marijuana, they alter brain chemistry by flooding the brain with dopamine (the “feel-good” chemical). Over time, the brain struggles to regulate itself, leading to paranoia, hallucinations, and even psychosis in some people. But why do some people get these effects almost immediately while others don’t? ✔️ Brain Chemistry – Some people have more sensitive dopamine systems, making them more prone to severe reactions. ✔️ Pre-existing Mental Health Conditions – If someone has underlying anxiety, depression, or schizophrenia, drugs can trigger full-blown mental illness. ✔️ Type of Drug & Dosage – Some drugs are more potent than others. A high dose can shock the brain into psychosis faster. 🧬 2. The Role of Genetics: Are Some People More at Risk? Just like how some people are naturally resistant to certain diseases, genetics play a role in drug reactions. If someone has a family history of mental illness or addiction, their risk of developing drug-induced psychosis is much higher. ✔️ If a close family member has schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression, drug use can speed up the onset of these illnesses. ✔️ Some people have genes that metabolize drugs differently, leading to stronger and more unpredictable effects. 🛑 3. Accumulated Damage: Why Some People 'Seem Fine' for Years Some long-term drug users may seem unaffected, but that doesn’t mean they’re safe. The effects of drug abuse build up over time. ✔️ Over time, they may develop memory loss, mood swings, or trouble focusing, even if they don’t show immediate signs of psychosis. ✔️ Some people can hide their struggles well, but eventually, their mental health declines. ✔️ Their risk of a sudden mental breakdown increases the longer they continue using. 🚨 4. The Dangerous Myth: "It Won’t Happen to Me" Many people believe they can handle drugs because they know someone who has used them for years without issues. But the truth is, no one knows how their brain will react until it's too late. ✔️ One bad trip is all it takes for a person to lose touch with reality. ✔️ Some effects are permanent, and the brain may never fully recover. ✔️ Even if someone seems fine now, they could wake up one day with crippling anxiety, paranoia, or psychosis. ⚠️ The Bottom Line: Is It Worth the Risk? The truth is, no one is immune to the effects of drugs. Some people break down faster, while others take years—but in the end, everyone pays the price. 🔴 Have you seen cases where someone’s life changed overnight due to drug use? Let’s discuss in the comments.
