Worm-Infested Hair Weave From Dead People Hits The Market

Image
Ladies please beware!!! Irene Myangoh, a personal assistant working at a law firm in Nairobi went to an upmarket hair salon along Kenyatta Avenue, and spent more than N5,500 on a human hair weave. Two weeks later she started suffering from severe headache that would not go away. She would wake up with severe headache at night. She went to a private doctor who gave her drugs for the relief of mild to moderate pain of inflammatory origin with or without fever; they would only work for a few hours and then the headache would be back worse than even before. Desperate, she went to see a specialist who did blood tests and even a brain scan. All the tests were negative but the headache persisted, making her unable to concentrate at work and sleeping very poorly. She went back to her doctor who decided to examine her scalp and under the beautiful weave he found worms! The worms were burrowing into her skull and after sending the samples to the lab they found that the hair had...

Image
School! School!! School!!! The ultimate dream of every Nigerian parent is to see their children pass through school, earn a degree, get a high paying job and live happily ever after. This was the dream we were sold on as kids, “ To graduate and get a good job ” and most parents / children pursued this dream vigorously. But unfortunately, the dream of go to school, secure a good job and live happily is now a fairy tale to the average Nigerian youth. With over 40million+ unemployed graduates in Nigeria, most youths are now waking up to the reality on ground that having an academic certificate or degree is not the gateway to escape the hardship and struggles of life. However, what irks me is the fact that we Nigerians are yet to learn from our predicaments. Today, I still see parents advising their kids to go to school and get a good job.

The-secret-Beckhams-free-kick-success-Kicking-Care-Bears-sisters-room.

Image
David Beckham has revealed the secret to his free kick success was kicking the Care Bears in his sister's bedroom. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder was known for his dead ball ability and scored one of England's most important ever goals from a free kick. His strike against Greece in 2001 which sent England to the 2002 World Cup has gone down in the country's footballing history and in a Times extract from his new illustrated book, David Beckham, the icon explained how he came to specialise in those situations. 'I must have taken tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands [of free kicks]. I would go to the local park, place the ball on the ground and aim at the wire meshing over the window of a small community hut.' 'When my dad got home from work, we would go over to the goalposts together. He would stand between me and the goal, forcing me to bend the ball around him. People looking on must have though...

Remedies for Breast Disorder

Image
Breast Care Breasts usually undergo several changes on a regular basis. As a woman, you can see the differences in your breasts during various phases of life, such as the onset of a menstrual cycle, menopause, pregnancy, breast feeding, and so on. Unfortunately, some of these changes could have an adverse impact on your breasts. To reduce the risks of any such problems, it is important for you to follow a proper breast care routine as early as possible. Data shows that there is a significant rise in the number of breast cancer cases reported each year. Studies also indicate that around 1 of 8 women in the U.S. develops invasive breast cancer at some point during her life. This means that this disease is prevalent in around 12% of all the women in the country. The worst part is that around 70% to 80% of all the breast cancer instances occur in those women who have no family history of this disease. However, breast cancer is not the only disease that women need to worry...

Remedies for Cholera

Cholera is a disease that most of us have come across at some point, if not in real life, then probably in movies or literature. Cholera has shaped our collective consciousness as a population, because of the huge impact it has had on human history. Cholera pandemics in the early 19th century are estimated to have claimed up to tens of millions of lives. Cholera is an infectious disease caused by a comma-shaped bacterium – Vibrio Cholerae. This bacterium causes acute diarrhea and an intestinal infection through the ingestion of contaminated food or water. Cholera is derived from the Greek word Khole meaning ‘flow of bile.’ In Latin, the word Cholera means ‘bilious diarrhea.’ Cholera is most common in children below five years but is not limited to this age group only. In endemic areas, cholera can affect all age groups and can even lead to death. The Vibrio cholerae bacterium enters the digestive and intestinal system through food and water.

The 10 Essentials For Any Good Relationship

Image
1. Respect for both partners (and their genders). If you respect your partner, you respect them when they get a little too drunk at a Christmas party. You respect them when they are naked. You respect them when they are crying. You respect them when they don’t look their best. You respect them when they are talking loudly or acting silly or being gross. You do these things because they are a person with flaws and strange habits and imperfections. You don’t get to have lines drawn in the sand about the way they can act, as long as their behavior is benign. The only way you don’t respect them is if they do mean or harmful things, in which case you hold them to the same standards you hold every human being. Because the second you start saying things like “man up” or “ladies don’t…” or “if you were a real [insert gender here]” is the second you should look into dating a Real Doll. 2. Genuine attraction. All you need to do is date someone once who lets you know, either ...
