African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has called for Nigeria to explore the medicinal and economic potential of c@nnabis, arguing that the plant has several uses beyond sm%king.  Speaking on the BTC Podcast, Sowore explained that c@nnabis contains THC, which he identified as the component responsible for the feeling of being high, while noting that the plant can be consumed in different forms.  “Cann@bis has just 3% of what they call THC, which is the one that makes people high.

Cann@bis can be cooked, you know.”  Addressing the perception that he personally consumes cann@bis, Sowore said the plant has several industrial applications, including clothing and construction.  “But before you say that I have been taking cann@bis for a long time, which I don’t cons...

You were not taught to be a man.”  Lazarus added, “We need more men teaching boys how to be men, not some sissies walking about.” He stressed that biblical instructions on marriage should not be altered, stating, “Don’t twist what the Bible instituted.
