Medical Doctor Warns Ladies On The Dangers Of Fixing Eyelashes.

A Medical practitioner, Dr Ayopo Adeyemi, on Sunday warned women against the use of artificial eyelashes, commonly used to enhance beauty, in view of its grievous consequences. Adeyemi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the health implications of fixing false eyelashes included corneal abrasions or ulcers, damage of the natural eyelashes, eye sensitivity, amongst others. She said fixing of artificial eyelashes had become an increasingly popular trend in the fashion world as most ladies, regardless of the health implications, seek perfection and glamour. According to her, natural eyelashes had its natural way of preventing dirt, sweat, bacteria and other foreign materials from entering into the eye by trapping and keeping out anything that comes near. Adeyemi, a practitioner at Mushin General Hospital, Lagos, said false eyelashes would accommodate the dirt, thereby causing different forms of allergy and infections. “The use of harmful chemicals on the e...

Happy Democracy Day, Nigeria!

Democracy Day is a public holiday in Nigeria. It is held annually on May 29. This public holiday commemorates the restoration of democracy in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, when the newly elected Olusegun Obasanjo took office as the President of Nigeria in May 1999 ending multiple decades of military rule that began in 1966 and had been interrupted only by a brief period of democracy from 1979 to 1983. After gaining independence in 1960 from Great Britain, Nigeria fell prey to civil war and the first of so many military coups in 1966. Democracy was briefly restored from 1979 to 1983 to the country, but for most of its independent history, Nigeria was ruled by a series of military juntas. The last major military ruler, Gen. Sani Abacha, died suddenly in 1998. His successor, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar promised a transition to democracy, and accordingly a new constitutionwas adopted on May 5th, 1999. Elections were held and retired Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo, who had previously governe...

Sasha Banks Won A Last Chance Gauntlet Match To Qualify For The Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

Sasha Banks aka 'The Boss',  finally won RAW's Gauntlet match to punch her ticket to 2018  Money in the Bank. Banks pinned Ruby Riott to nab the final spot for the second ever women's MITB Ladder Match. 'The Boss' joins Ember Moon, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Natalya, Lana, and Naomi for the June 17 briefcase bonanza. The big win was much needed for Banks who has been stagnant for months. With WWE clearing the runway for Asuka, fooled by the colossal arrival of Ronda Rousey, Banks was lost in the shuffle. However, now that she's destined for Money in the Bank, 'The Boss' is back in WWE's main event.

Bobby Lashley Vs Sami Zayn Announced For Money In The Bank.

Bobby Lashley and Sami Zayn will clash at WWE Money in the Bank in a highly personal showdown for family honor and vertigo retribution. In case you've missed it, Zayn has been harboring a bit of a grudge against Bobby Lashley, who he believes has gone out of his way to embarrass him by returning to Raw on the same night that Zayn arrived on Team Red. Furthermore, Lashley executed a stalling suplex so savage that it gave Zayn the first documented case of vertigo in WWE history, at least according to Sami. Proclaiming himself to be the recipient of Lashley’s personal victimization, the former NXT Champion disputed the notion that Lashley was the type of kind-hearted family man he proclaimed himself to be during a sit-down interview with Renee Young. In fact, Zayn claimed to have gotten the real dirt on Lashley by contacting the powerful Superstar’s three sisters — a truth he promised to unveil by bringing them to Raw. Instead of producing the sisters, however, Zayn hired t...

The new version is titled 'This is Nigeria,' and it has generated a storm online, including a reaction from hip-hop musician and entrepreneur Diddy, who shared it on his Instagram page, propelling the video to worldwide recognition. In ‘This is Nigeria, Falz highlights issues of Boko Haram’s kidnapping of girls and government’s slow response, drug addiction among the youth, corruption, conmen masquerading as pastors and the society’s preoccupation with reality TV shows among others. Falz, (real name Folarin Falana) has gained plaudits for tackling social ills in a country where pop stars rarely get political. Musicians tend to avoid political commentary, partly due to an ingrained fear of persecution from the powerful political class. Hey, Falz. We global now, huh?☺

CNN was first to report the allegations of inappropriate behavior and harassment as part of an investigation published Thursday.

"All victims of assault and harassment deserve to be heard. And we need to listen to them. But it is not right to equate horrific incidents of sexual assault with misplaced compliments or humor.

According to Nkwasi Obim Nebo, a maternal health advocate and humanitarian worker who led a team of PeachAid Medical Initiative medical doctors to the village, the mother of the twins walked up to her seeking help. Narrating the experience on Facebook, she wrote: “As soon as we arrived the community, this woman immediately handed us her newly-born twin babies, asking us to take them away; they were only 2days old. “I asked her why she was giving up on her kids, she replied and said they will be killed in few days from today if still with her.

FBI Warns Russians Hacked Hundreds Of Thousands Of Routers.

The FBI warned on Friday that Russian computer hackers had compromised hundreds of thousands of home and office routers and could collect user information or shut down network traffic. The U.S. law enforcement agency urged the owners of many brands of routers to turn them off and on again and download updates from the manufacturer to protect themselves. The warning followed a court order Wednesday that allowed the FBI to seize a website that the hackers planned to use to give instructions to the routers. Though that cut off malicious communications, it still left the routers infected, and Friday's warning was aimed at cleaning up those machines. Infections were detected in more than 50 countries, though the primary target for further actions was probably Ukraine, the site of many recent infections and a longtime cyberwarfare battleground. In obtaining the court order, the Justice Department said the hackers involved were in a group called Sofacy that answered to the Rus...

It's official: Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle will direct the next James Bond movie.

Breaking : Bauchi Deputy Governor Resigns.

Nuhu Gidado, deputy governor of Bauchi state, tendered his resignation on Thursday. In a letter to Mohammed Abubakar, Governor of the state, Gidado said though he wished to complete his tenure, he lost interest in the job along the line. Describing Abubakar as “my brother and leader”, Gidado thanked the governor for giving him the opportunity to serve. He also extended appreciation to the people of the state. “Ordinarily, I should have remained up to the end of the tenure, but, with the currently dampened spirit and waning zeal as it relates to my official engagements, my continued stay will not be fair and truthful to you as my brother and leader,” the letter read. Back in 2015 when he was sworn in, he took a 50 percent pay cut with the governor. He had promised that youth restiveness would be given priority within the first 100 days of the administration. “There is no two ways about it, we will go into the issue of youth restiveness from day one.

Naomi To Face Sonya Deville In A Money In The Bank Qualifying Match Tuesday On SmackDown LIVE.

Sonya Deville asked for another opportunity to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and she will get one this Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE, when she faces Naomi. The former Absolution member believes that because Mandy Rose was the one who tapped out to Becky Lynch’s Dis-arm-her in last week’s Triple Threat qualifier, she still deserved another chance to advance to Chicago on June 17, taking to social media to state her case. She was granted a second chance, but she won’t be facing a pushover. Deville will have to defeat former SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi, who’s looking for a path to claim the title for a third time.
