Nigerian actor, Zubby Michael has swung a heavy jab at his fellow actor, Yul Edochie, after the latter proposed a suggestion to the Federal Government as regards the Covid-19 crisis in the country. Shortly after the President declared a total lockdown to be observed starting from Monday, 11:00pm in the three states with the top cases, actor, Yul Edochie took to his page to suggest that the President provides economic relief package for Nigerians. His suggestion was seconded by some of his colleagues but one who didn’t stand with him is actor, Zubby Michael who says he should practice what he preaches “because charity begins at home”. The actor who seems to somewhat know Yul Edochie’s character revealed that he’s quite a wicked and stingy being and as such shouldn’t be the one to give such suggestions since it’s not in his character. He wrote; People should practice what they preach because charity begins at home, This one that can not give anyone a lift even when he is drivin...

A pre-colonial law which ciriminalizes sex between men was upheld by a Singaporean high court on Monday March 30. The law which does not apply to lesbians was challenged by activists emboldened after India’s decision to scrap similar legislation in 2018. Two lawyers who represented three men: Johnson Ong Ming, a disc jockey, Roy Tan Seng Kee, a retired general practitioner and Bryan Choong Chee Hoong, the former executive director of LGBT+ non-profit organization Oogachaga, argued that Section 377A, a rarely implemented law under which a man found to have committed an act of "gross indecency" with another man could be imprisoned for up to two years, is unconstitutional.  However Judge See Kee Oon who presided over the case, dismissed the three applications. He said;  “The High Court dismisses all three applications. “Legislation remains important in reflecting public sentiment and beliefs. Non-enforcement of the law against consens...

The World Health Organization in Nigeria has dispelled a belief held by some Nigerians that drinking alchohol can protect them against Coronavirus. The organization dispelled this belief via its Twitter handle this morning.

There's a persistent belief that some people were born to be successful, and others were born to be unsuccessful. This is terribly untrue; ask any successful person, from the wealthy neighbor next door to an international mogul like Bill Gates, and you'll likely hear a long story of past failures. Similarly, almost anyone currently experiencing a string of failures or dissatisfaction in their life has the potential to turn their life around. So what's stopping them? What's stopping you from being successful and living the life you want? Chances are, it's at least one of these 10 reasons: 1. You're not working as hard as you think you are:  You feel like you're pouring tons of hours into your project or your career, but how hard are you actually working? How many hours are you "working" but are actually talking to coworkers, browsing social media sites, or otherwise working inefficiently? Success takes actual hard work, meaning achievin...

Our skin is our body's largest organ. It requires care and attention to maintain a healthy glow and to remain soft and supple. Because our faces are most visible and are most exposed to the elements year-round, they require even more special consideration. But caring for your skin doesn't have to mean embarking on a beauty regimen that's impossible to adhere to. Simply incorporate these easy steps into your everyday routine and you'll see the results! 1.  Drink water Since our bodies are made up mostly of water, it makes good sense that we need to rehydrate frequently and replenish our fluid levels. Drinking lots of water helps to moisturize skin from the inside out and improves skin's elasticity and suppleness. 2.  Maintain a healthy diet Eating a healthy diet is important for many obvious reasons, but a well-balanced food plan can also improve the look and tone of your skin. Both vitamin A and E (which are also common in many topical skin creams) are b...

As the coronavirus spreads, we are hearing about how to reduce exposure and take care of ourselves if we get sick. These are important tips, but we're not hearing much about how we can boost our immunity so that if  we do  get exposed to the virus our body can effectively fight back.  Our immune systems are designed to fight off sicknesses and viruses. But unfortunately, the immune system can get worn down by many things typical of a modern life like stress, toxins, lack of excercise and unhealthy eating. This prevents our bodies from effectively fighting off sickness. With coronavirus continuing to spread, it's more important than ever to support the immune system. We can do this by making a few key modifications. Here are 6 essential ways to boost your immunity in preparation for coronavirus: 1.

Becoming rich isn't a simple road particularly when your parents are poor. Here are the things you must sacrifice to be rich. 1. Sacrifice The Trending Things If you want to be rich you must be disciplined enough to avoid buying stuff that is trending but not helpful to you. Robert Kiyosaki said, "rich people buy luxuries lasts and poor people buy luxuries first".  2. Sacrifice Your Friendship With People Without Goals And Ambitions  Stay away from people without goals and ambitions. If you hang out with people who know about everything, you will also know about everything. If you hang out with people who don't have a goal you also will be a wanderer. Therefore, let go of your relationships with negative people and move with people who will challenge you to pursue your dreams. 3. Sacrifice Your Social Media And TV. Lessen the time you spend on screen and social media. People who sell Lamborghini never publish on TV because those who can afford ...
