Medical experts have said that alligator pepper is a stimulant that helps to increase sexual desire.

According to them, a healthy lifestyle, physical exercise, tiger nuts and a strong financial status can also increase sexual drive.

Speaking with The PUNCH, a renowned fertility expert, Prof Oladapo Ashiru, said alligator pepper might act as a stimulant, thereby increasing the testosterone level in the blood.

“There have been very few reports on the effect of alligator pepper on the positive effect of erectile ability and erectile dysfunction. Same as ginger; they may be acting as a stimulant and also by increasing the testosterone level in the blood,” he said.

Asked if it also works for women, the don said, “I have not come across (such) for women. However, it is not out of place since it is a stimulant.”

Also, a consultant urologist at the Ogah Hospital and Urology Centre, Fugar, Edo State, Dr Gabriel Ogah, said alligator pepper could boost sex drive and libido in individuals.

Ogah said, “Alligator pepper can boost sex drive because it is a stimulant; it’s just like kola nut. Any stimulant that energises and increases your stimulant can increase your sex drive. It’s a general stimulant.

“You can just chew the alligator pepper just like you chew kola nuts and your sex drive will improve. There’s a research that they said it doesn’t boost sex drive but I studied that research and how it was carried out, and I found out that the sample size was too small and was not a well collected research.

“So, the impression that it improves sex drive remains. Until you have a very good research with a large size that disproves it, then it remains, and I believe it does. Alligator pepper does a great job.”

He added that having more money could improve sex drive.

“When you can fund your desire, you will have an increased sex drive. Normally, when you have more money in your pocket, your sex drive will increase because you can afford the consequences of the sex drive.

“If your wife asks you to buy her something for Christmas and you don’t buy it, the woman will not be interested in sex. Financial status increases sex drive. Comfort increases sex drive because sex is not a necessity.

“You can always do it (sex) if you have money. On the other hand, life that is hard (poverty) reduces sex drive. You don’t need to be a scientist to know that.

“If a man controls his weight and is physically fit, his erection will be better. He will perform better at sex if he is physically fit. It is well known that when you are very good at something, it gives you enjoyment or pleasure.”

Taliban Attacks Kill 23 In Northwestern Pakistan

The Pakistani Taliban on Saturday claimed responsibility for deadly attacks in several northwestern districts that killed 20 security officials and three civilians.

The attacks, which included a suicide bombing on a police training school, were carried out on Friday in several districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province that borders Afghanistan.

Militancy has surged in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa since the withdrawal of US-led troops from neighbouring Afghanistan in 2021 and the return of the Taliban government in Kabul.

Eleven paramilitary troops were killed in the border Khyber district, while seven policemen were killed after a suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden car into the gate of a police training school, which was followed by a gun attack.

Five people, including three civilians, were killed in a separate clash in Bajaur district, security officials told AFP on Saturday.

The Pakistani Taliban, the Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP), claimed responsibility for the attacks in messages on social media. The group is separate from but closely linked with the Afghan Taliban.

The attacks came hours after Afghanistan’s Taliban government accused Pakistan of “violating Kabul’s sovereign territory”, a day after two explosions were heard in the capital.

Pakistan did not say if it was behind the blasts in Kabul, but said it had the right to defend itself against surging border militancy.

Islamabad accuses Afghanistan of failing to expel militants using Afghan territory to launch attacks on Pakistan, an accusation that authorities in Kabul deny.

The TTP and its affiliates are behind most of the violence — largely directed at security forces.

Including Friday’s attacks, at least 32 Pakistani troops and three civilians have been killed this week alone in the border regions.

US Threatens To Sanction Countries That Vote For Shipping Carbon Tax

The United States on Friday threatened to impose sanctions and take other punitive action against any country that votes in favor of a carbon tax on maritime transportation to be implemented through a UN agency.

“We will fight hard to protect our economic interests by imposing costs on countries if they support” the Net Zero Framework, said a joint statement by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his counterparts at the departments of energy and transportation.

Members of the London-based International Maritime Organization (IMO) are set to vote next week on the adoption of the Net Zero Framework (NZF) agreement aimed at reducing global carbon emissions from the shipping sector.

Washington, however, described the proposal as imposing “a global carbon tax on the world.”

Since returning to power in January, US President Donald Trump has reversed Washington’s course on climate change, denouncing it as a “scam” and encouraging fossil fuel use by deregulation.

In the statement, Rubio, Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the Trump administration “unequivocally rejects” the NZF proposal.

They threatened a range of punishing actions against countries that vote in favor of the framework, including: visa restrictions; blocking vessels registered in those countries from US ports; imposing commercial penalties; and considering sanctions on officials.

“The United States will be moving to levy these remedies against nations that sponsor this European-led neocolonial export of global climate regulations,” the statement said.
