Upon arrival in US, Bello was said to have reneged on her promise to the victims and their families that she would send the two ladies to school in US and even pay one of them for her services. These victims sleep on the floor or a couch, prevented them from using the shower, or eat the food they cooked, and even forced them to eat spoilt and moldy food.

During CNN interview, one of the victims said Bidemi Bello,made her eat her own vomit, because of this she attempted suicide several times by swallowing bleach which Bidemi gave her to wash the fences of her home, and instead of giving her a lawn mower to clear the grasses she prefers to see her use her hands to pull out the grasses.She also said the day she picked up a phone call from her relative in Nigeria,Bello gave her the beating of her life throughout that night with bruises and sore all over her body.

While having tea as a source of refreshment, we can’t over emphasize the importance of it.

Generally tea carries anti-cancer properties of polyphenols which helps to fight cancer. There is very less risk of heart disease as it prevents blood from clotting and helps to decrease cholesterol levels.

Some researches shows that having the 2 cups of tea every day can reduce your risk of developing ovarian cancer by 50% and also useful to exploit your body defenses to fight diseases like cancer and heart disease. Black tea protects you against cancers.

Having tea in contrast to coffee is better because coffee have the more caffeine, which is not good for our health. One who adds milk to their tea helps in developing strong bones as milk has calcium, which is good for the bones. Tea has the fluoride and tannins that drive the plaque away. It helps in keeping your dental records white and shiny, of course including your usual dental regime that would involve brushing and flossing. Even though there has been research that caffeinated fluids dehydrates your body, which includes tea. But it has now been seen that caffeine doesn’t scorch you entirely, unless you happen to drink five to six cups at one time. So better to have the little tea can help you remain hydrated. Having ginger tea may help you get relief from sore throat. Having herbal tea can be very good to get rid of the early cold attack. Teas like enchinacea, peppermint and chamomile would do wonders against the cold if you combine all these together to make a brewing hot cup of tea. If taken 2 to 4 times a day, it may just do the trick. It also helps in reducing your bad cholesterol.
