Jun 23, 2017 8:19 AM Congratulations! You’ve made it to your dirty thirties. But now that you’re soldiering your way toward middle age, quite a few young man behaviors just don’t cut it anymore. From endangering to downright embarrassing, here’s what you need to leave behind. 1. Eating Fast Food: Yeah, we know that that Big Mac can taste delicious and that the dollar menu is super tempting when you’re on a tight budget. But a tasty, inexpensive meal isn’t that tough to throw together. 2. Smoking: It looked cool and rebellious when you were 18 but now you seriously have to stamp out this stinky, unhealthy and expensive habit. Not only can cigarettes make you smell like an ashtray and discolor your teeth, but they’re also one of the leading causes of heart and lung disease. 3. Playing Video Games: Granted, games are quite diverse nowadays with the explosion of small indie publishers and smartphone apps. But there’s still no excuse for being hunched in front of a console for days at

Jun 23, 2017 6:53 AM Women face the possibility of a number of pelvic conditions. Some are fine if left untreated while ignoring others could be fatal. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of these pelvic conditions so you can recognize them if they happen to you or someone you love. Asherman’s Syndrome Asherman’s syndrome is the formation of intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) or scar tissue that often causes the front and back walls of the uterus to stick together. These scars are usually the result of trauma to the uterus from a recent pregnancy or other causes, including surgery for uterine fibroid tumors or polyps, as well as Cesarean section. Symptoms include a very light period or no period, but some women still experience pain during the time menstruation would normally occur. Sadly, miscarriages and infertility are frequent. The most common treatment is hysteroscopy, sometimes assisted by laparoscopy. Unfortunately, if the adhesions are severe, they often reform, requiring addi

Jun 22, 2017 9:58 AM The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has insisted that Christian Religious Knowledge, CRK, has been removed from School Curriculum, with the retention of Islamic Religious Knowledge, IRK, under the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo-led Federal Government.

Jun 22, 2017 8:28 AM Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has on Wednesday, stated that he has now gathered more supporters in Kano, and in the entire Northern region, ahead of the 2019 general elections. While speaking to some selected Journalists, Kwankwaso dropped a hint on President Muhammadu Buhari and 2019.

It is the decision of Allah, and nobody can fault it.” Kwankwaso who dodged questions on the rift between him and his successor in Kano, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, said he had more supporters in Kano, more than ever. “This is not the time to talk on Kano, the time will come… I now have more supporters in my Constituency, Kano, and even in the entire North, more than before”, he said.

Jun 22, 2017 3:58 AM Breastfeeding benefits mothers Breastfeeding is not only healthy for babies, it may also reduce a mother’s risk of having a heart attack or stroke later in life. This is the conclusion of a  new study of 300,000 Chinese women published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Heart Association.. According to Xinhua, the Chinese news agency, women  who breastfed their babies had about a 10 percent lower risk of developing heart disease or stroke compared to those who did not. The study said  the longer mothers  breastfed, the greater effects they had. “The findings should encourage more widespread breastfeeding for the benefit of the mother as well as the child,” study co-author Zhengming Chen, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Oxford, said in a statement. “The study provides support for the World Health Organization’s recommendation that mothers should breastfeed their babies exclusively for their first six months of life,” Chen said.

Jun 21, 2017 2:07 PM Manchester United have joined the race to sign Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich. Acoording to Sky Sports News HQ, United and Chelsea have held preliminary talks with the Bundesliga champions for the striker. Sky Sports’ Spanish football expert, Guillem Balague, claims both Premier League clubs have also spoken to Lewandowski’s representatives over a potential move. Balague believes Lewandowski’s preferred choice at this stage is Stamford Bridge, but United are thought to be very keen on the 28-year-old. The striker signed a new contract with Bayern in December, keeping him at the club until 2021, but recently said he was “disappointed” over a perceived lack of support at Bayern in his quest to become the highest goal scorer in Germany. Lewandowski netted 30 goals last season, but missed out on the top-scorer prize to Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang by a single goal. “I was not really happy with how my team helped me.

Jun 21, 2017 11:32 AM A notorious Chinese dog meat festival opened on Wednesday with butchers hacking up slabs of canines and cooks frying the flesh, despite rumours that authorities would impose a ban this year. Vendors stand behind a pile of dog meat at the Nanqiao market in Yulin  (AFP) A notorious Chinese dog meat festival opened on Wednesday with butchers hacking up slabs of canines and cooks frying the flesh, despite rumours that authorities would impose a ban this year. After initial reports that authorities would ban the meat at the summer solstice event in the southern city of Yulin, animal rights groups said vendors and officials reached a compromise and set a limit of two dogs displayed per stall. But multiple carcasses rested on some stalls at the main Nanqiao market, with stiff pointy tails, leathery yellow skin, eyes shut and bared teeth as if in a final growl. Animal welfare groups, however, said sales appeared to be down this year. Behind two long rows of dog b

Jun 21, 2017 6:54 AM Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has warned that the Federal Government will no longer condone any threat to Nigeria’s unity by individuals, groups or sec­tions of the country. He vowed that security agencies will fish out those who continue to threaten the sovereignty of Nigeria or lives and livelihoods of other Nigerians living in any part of the country. Osinbajo declared the government’s position on Tuesday at a meeting with traditional rulers from the northern states as part of his consultations with Nigerian leaders to douse the grow­ing ethnic tensions across the nation. The tension reached a climax a fortnight ago when some northern youths is­sued a three-month quit notice to Igbos living in the region following a sit-at-home exercise called by pro-Biafra secessionists on May 30, 2017 to mark 50 years of the struggle for the Republic of Biafra in the South East.
