Nurse Warns Nigerians Says, “Malt and Milk No Be Blood Booster”

A Nigerian nurse and content creator has dismissed the popular belief that mixing malt and milk boosts blood, calling it a misconception and urging people to seek hospital care and proper treatment instead.

A Nigerian nurse and health content creator has sparked conversations online after debunking the long-held belief that drinking malt and milk helps boost blood levels.

In a viral video, she described the claim as nothing more than “misconceptions and fallacies,” stressing that the combination has no medical basis for improving blood production.

According to her, the body produces blood through specific nutrients like iron, folate, and vitamin B12 — not through malt and milk. She advised people to stop relying on unverified remedies and instead seek proper medical care.

“Instead of wasting money on malt and milk, go to the hospital if you suspect low blood levels. Get tested, and if necessary, receive the right treatment or supplements,” she explained.

Her message has since stirred wide reactions on social media, with many users admitting they grew up believing the malt-milk myth, while others praised her for using her platform to share health education.

In other news…. Nigerian comedian Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, popularly known as Sabinus, recently sparked widespread online attention with a new skit featuring Nollywood icon Pete Edochie.

In the viral clip, Sabinus is shown sneaking fried chicken inside what appears to be Pete Edochie’s shrine, only to be caught on a hidden camera. The footage is later revealed to both him and the veteran actor, resulting in a humorous yet dramatic turn of events.

However, not everyone found the skit amusing. Nigerian social media commentator Daniel Regha criticized the video, calling it unfunny and potentially harmful to cultural perceptions.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Regha expressed his concern over the use of ritualistic themes, warning that such content could reinforce negative stereotypes about Nigeria internationally.

“Sabinus’ skit with Pete Edochie wasn’t really funny,” Regha wrote. “Nigeria, being a country that’s all too ritualistic, is a narrative that has led to certain stigmatisation across the globe, and we can’t keep portraying ourselves like this all the time, unless it’s to address an issue.”
