Nigerian Govt Warns Against Excess Salt Intake After Pastor Chris Told Church Members To Take Plenty

The Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has issued a public health advisory warning Nigerians against excessive consumption of salt following a viral video by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, founder of Loveworld Incorporated, popularly known as Christ Embassy urging members to take plenty salt....


‎In the video,he urged members of his congregation to increase their salt intake, claiming Africans have been 'deliberately discouraged' from consuming salt to make them reliant on sodium-based medications.

‎“They told you not to take salt so that you can buy their drugs. drugs that contain sodium, Salt is not your enemy”

‎However, the Federal Government has cautioned Nigerians to heed professional medical advice, warning that indiscriminate salt consumption poses serious health risks.

‎In a press statement signed by Alaba Balogun, Deputy Director of Information and Public Relations at the ministry, the government reiterated the importance of moderate salt consumption, even as it acknowledged the influential role of faith leaders in national discourse.

‎“The Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has observed a widely circulated video in which a respected religious leader discourages Nigerians from heeding medical advice on salt consumption.

‎While we deeply respect the important role of faith and religious leaders in our society, it is crucial to correct misinformation that poses a risk to public healt
‎High salt consumption is associated with high blood pressure, heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease, among others.

‎The World Health Organisation recommends a maximum of 5 grams of salt per day roughly one teaspoon for adults.

‎The ministry advises Nigerians to be wary of health advice not backed by science or endorsed by certified health professionals.”

    2. Because it is since Covid and Trump’s response to it, that Chris has been talking all his nonsense anti-science rhetoric.
      When trump said Covid is not real, and then that the cure for Covid is chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, this charlatan parroted the same thing. Since then he has been following and repeating everything Trump says, then coming up with his additional conspiracy theories. His church members even call him Brother Trump 🤣🤣🤣 Just plain delusional! Trump only gives an efff about himself.
      If you doubt it, look how last week he posted a picture of himself in papal attire. Catholics don collect their L, all of you supporters will collect one way or the other

  7. What happened to the Pastor Chris of the early 2000s who was focused more on teaching than preaching....I preferred watching his teachings than his miracles when they used to be aired on TV.....

    Why this sudden shift to conspiracy theory-based preaching from him lately?....This is quite disappointing....

    6. I am not a member of his congregation but I think his message is being misconstrued.
      Just 3 years ago,I was feeling very unwell. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. You know that feeling when you think that you’ve gotten one of those life threatening sickness. I was always tired ,dizzy,lost fatigue. My uncle who is a doctor advised me to check my blood sugar. It was ok.
      My blood pressure always ran low anyway but unbeknownst to me,I was the one doing myself.
      One day at work,I just fell and collaped. My co-workers quickly checked my Bo, it was 76/44😳.They brought orange juice and all what not to give me but i managed to tell them to give me some sodium chloride. That is salt. After taking the tabs and some crackers, I got myself a bit.
      Brethren ,it happened that I stayed completely away from salt for almost 5 years preceding that day. I would cook with spices that contained sodium. But then,it wasn’t the real raw salt.
      The next day,for my breakfast, for the first time in God knows how long, I fried my eggs with salt. From that day until today, the feeling of fatigue and sickness disappeared. And the cause was my lack of salt diet. I cook all my meals with salt and my BP is excellent.
      I’m sure the pastor was talking about moderation. And yes, a little salt won’t kill you. God who gave it to us is not a mean God.
      Abeg,you guys should free the sporty waves pastor. He’s on point.

  13. Stella he didn't say take too much. Even common sense will tell you to take things in moderation. He said salt is good. Mark 9:50 "Salt is good: but if the salt has lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another."

    1. Don't mind them. He only said it's good not to over use it.

      Delete
    2. Read what he said. He said "INCREASE" not it is good but ""INCREASE". Check the meaning of the word in a dictionary if you don't know what it means.
