I think there is something between me and Ikenne being that I had my primary and secondary education in Ikenne and I am still there now.Sighing. For a time,before I got a house in Ikenne I was going to school from or house and my dad will always want to drop me in school on his way to his office. In as much as I like stepping down from my dad's car and being the cynosure of all eyes,I didn't like it because I was always the first person to get to school and therefore it was only the security guards that saw me!

The benefits of red wine appear to be linked to the presence of resveratrol, melatonin and flavonoids. Flavonoids are thought to help protect the body from cancer because of their antioxidant properties. They help the body neutralize certain free radicals that can trigger the cellular activity that may lead to cancer. Melatonin — a substance present in red wine and some foods and that humans naturally produce in small amounts — is thought to delay the oxidative damage and inflammatory processes typical of old age. Resveratrol is produced naturally by grape skins during red wine's fermentation process. Several studies have suggested that resveratrol may explain the "French paradox" — why the French appear to be able to consume a diet higher in fat than the norm while enjoying a comparatively lower incidence of heart disease. Red wine has been credited with more than keeping your heart healthy and delaying the aging process. It has also shown promising res...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor and screenwriter Wentworth Miller, best known for his leading role in Fox television drama "Prison Break," came out as a gay man on Wednesday in a letter declining an invitation to attend a Russian film festival in light of Moscow's recently adopted anti-gay laws. Miller, 41, turned down an offer to attend the St. Petersburg International Film Festival as a "guest of honor" in a letter posted on the website of advocacy group GLAAD, which monitors media representation of gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender people and issues. "Thank you for your kind invitation. As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes. However, as a gay man, I must decline," Miller wrote to festival director Maria Averbakh. Miller wrote that he was "deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian gov...

The first time I went there was for the post jamb so this first time my dad and mum went with me. When we got there dad parked and told me to come out I was wondering Y.

  Many things can cause pain in the ball of the foot.  This pain is described as a sharp stabbing pain and many times numbness in the toes also occurs.  Capsulitis can cause this pain and is inflammation of the soft tissues around a joint.  Inflammation of a nerve is called a neuroma and may also lead to these symptoms.  Redness and numbness is experienced in the toes may be due to jamming of the toe joints.  People experiencing pain in the ball of the foot usually experience relief when they remove the shoe and rub the affected area but the pain returns as soon as the stiletto is back on.  Those wearing high heels on a daily basis often deal with multiple foot problems.  Most commonly, high heel users experience pain in the ball of their foot or in the back of the heel bone.  Oftentimes, this pain is ignored for style or work.  However, this pain should not be neglected, as it may be the first sign of damage.  Her...

Are you eating well and exercising, but your weight just won't budge? Or it's going up? Desperate attempts to lose weight can be so frustrating and create a real stress in our lives. In fact, I'll go as far as saying that weight is the NUMBER ONE stress for women I know. It's a vicious cycle of trying to control what we eat, feeling like a failure because the scale doesn't move, punishing ourselves for not being "more in control," and then manifesting a huge amount of bodily stress that causes further havoc in our bodies. Then we binge or take our diet to an extreme (never healthy) and the cycle continues… Here are 14 reasons you may be hitting the wall with your weight… 1. Your hormones aren't balanced. If you are fatigued, suffer from PMS, experience irregular menstrual cycles, find it hard to lose weight, feel depressed or anxious, you may have a hormonal imbalance. Best to see a nutritionist or doctor who can support you and sug...

In an effort to better understand the body's complex heating and cooling system, here are some surprising facts about sweat you may not have known. You have about two to four million sweat glands. They look a little something like this: Women have more sweat glands than men. But men's sweat glands actually produce more sweat. Sweating from the heat, sweating from exercise and sweating from stress are all different, chemically speaking. Stress sweat smells the worst. That's because smelly sweat is only produced by one of the two types of sweat glands called the apocrine glands, which are usually in areas with lots of hair, like the armpits, groin and scalp. The odor is the result of the bacteria that break down the sweat once it's released onto your skin. Some people's sweat is saltier than others. If you have sweat that stings your eyes or stings if it trickles into a cut, tastes salty or leaves a gritty feeling or white streaks on your skin or clothes...

Members of the violent Islamist sect, Boko Haram, may soon be dragged to The Hague to face war crimes as the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Monday indicted the sect for crime against humanity for its widespread and systematic murder and persecution of civilians. The report titled "Situation in Nigeria" says there is reasonably basis that since July 2009, the group that aims to spread radical Islam in Northern Nigeria has committed crime against humanity. After this indictment, the ICC says the next step is to assess whether Nigerian government is working on "conducting genuine proceedings in relation to those who appear to bear the greatest responsibility for such crimes and the gravity of such crimes." The ICC investigation may run into trouble with the Nigerian government, as the federal government has constituted a committee negotiating peace and amnesty with the sect. The ICC, however, has the power to prosecute cases that national courts of signatory...

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) yesterday suspended Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State after accusing him of being involved in anti-party activities. The party voted to remove Okorocha at an emergency National Executive Council meeting which held in Abuja yesterday afternoon following Okorocha's recent dissolution of his cabinet and alleged membership of the opposition coalition, All Progressives Congress (APC). APGA is accusing him of dissolving his cabinet so he could include more members of the newly registered political party, APC, in his government.  “The NEC unanimously resolved to suspend, with immediate effect, the Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okoroacha, from the party for gross anti-party activities, bordering on his involvement with the All Progressives Congress contrary to the clear provisions of the APGA constitution." The National Vice-Chairman of APGA (South-West), Tayo Sowunm said yesterday.
