Suya Eaters Advised to Eat Onions And Other Vegetables Along With the Grilled Meat

Prof. Ignatius Onimawo, a food nutritionist has warned that that except there is deliberate effort to imbibe healthier dietary and lifestyle habits over the next 10 years, cancer and other Non Communicable Diseases, NCDs, will increase by more than 27 percent in developing countries like Nigeria, compared to 17 percent in the developed world.

Focusing especially on cancer, the prof remarked that studies to try to look at the aetiology of the disease, to find out where it all started, traced the incidence of cancer in Nigeria to suya consumption.

This he said was because “During preparation of suya, the  meat is cooked over an open fire, and oils from the meat undergo complex chemical reactions that produce toxins such as Heterocyclic Amines, HCAs that are carcinogenic (cancer-causing) in nature. The more well-done a meat is cooked, the higher concentration of carcinogenic HCA’s can form."

Lupita Nyong'o in First Print Campaign For Lancome - And It's Not a Lightening Cream

When Lupita Nyong'o got tipped as the face of Lancome fresh off her Oscar win, there was some controversy with Dencia making a reference to the lightening creams Lancome is known for. Now, the debut print ad for Lupita has been unveiled and she is fronting the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24 Foundation.

The ad is all black and gold, from Lupita's dress to her cuff, keeping the makeup minimal to show off her luscious dark skin [See Lupita in a Bikini].

Covering the last issue of Vogue, Lupita Nyong’o said of her partnership with Lancome, “It’s not about conforming to an already established idea of what is beautiful, and I like that. I am particularly proud to represent [Lancôme's] unique vision for women and the idea that beauty should not be dictated, but should instead be an expression of a woman’s freedom to be herself.”

Vincent Enyeama of Super Eagles Marks Wedding Anniversary With Wife

Vincent Enyeama, goalkeeper of the Super Eagles national football team, is happily married man with three beautiful children! He is just 31 so he must have started early. I remember back in Nigeria when I would cheer him on for my favorite local club, Enyimba. He has certainly come a long way.

Yesterday, Vincent Enyeama shared the picture above to mark his wedding anniversary. He did not specify on the date but thanks God for the entire month. He captioned the picture thus;

"My #MAGIC BAND. my#shining star. my#v29PR16. some years ago this month, we got it settled. thank GOD for this month.

Nigerian Terrorism Worsens as Insurgents Bomb Kano School, Kidnap Sixty Girls in a Borno Village

I want to use this opportunity to ask what the Nigerian Military is doing. Where are the Chibok girls? Why has the spate of Boko Haram violence and terror intensified in Borno and even widened to include other Northern States? Did all the military move to Sambisa Forest and forget to secure the rest of the country?

This steady news of rampant terrorism is just demoralizing. And now these latest news of killings and kidnappings that all happened on the same day - June 23 - in different parts of the country? First;

About sixty girls between the ages of 3-12 years have been abducted by insurgents in Kummabza village of Damboa local government area of Borno State.

Wendy Williams Criticises Kim and Kanye's Parenting Style, Says Kim is Not a Good Mother

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West marked their daughter North West's first birthday by getting her ears pierced [Read here]. On the latest show of Wendy Williams Hot topics, the talk show host has joined those criticising the Kim and Kanye's parenting style.

Wendy Williams, whom I sometimes wonder if she's being deliberately mean to court controversy, said Kim needs to take time off and be a mother for allowing North West to fly alone from New York to California.

After attacking Kanye and Kim as usual, Wendy Williams asks generally, "would you ever let your 1-year-old child fly alone?" But Nori was not alone, she had her nanny, nurse and a bodyguard.

Jill Duggar and New Husband Derick Dillard Kiss For the First Time at Their Wedding

Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard's wedding was the start of the couple's life as husband and wife, and also the first time they ever shared a kiss. The 23 year old daughter of the "19 Kids and Counting" TV family decided to wait for marriage before ever kissing her sweetheart in keeping with her family's courtship rules.

While they were courting, the couple had never done more than hold hands, which they did only after they got engaged back in April. Jill explained to ABC earlier this year;

"We're just really trying to keep our relationship focused not on the physical but really just more on communication and continuing to learn more about each other. We're saving our first kiss and things beyond that for our wedding."

See Proof - Baby K’Tan Carriers NOT Racist or Stereotyping Single Black Baby Mamas

The photo of two side-by-side Baby K’Tan branded baby carriers has been trending on social media since yesterday. The organic carrier shows a black woman by herself, carrying a sleeping baby, and the regular carrier shows a white couple - mom and dad - with a sleeping baby.

Black women on social media are outraged. They believe that the Baby K'Tan company thought up the marketing campaign based on the stereotype that black women are mostly baby mamas and are usually not married, nor do they co-parent with their partners.

However, a small search online reveals more about the company, which is a small one with only 5 products. There is only one carrier box that has a couple on the cover. These other boxes have only moms or dads wearing the baby. One of the images shows the white woman with the man in the above picture, but this time, she is alone with her baby. See the photos and Baby K'Tan press statement below...

The Calmest Female Voice I Ever Heard in My Life - True Love Story With Proposal Pictures

This is another RML couple, and this time, the guy tells us the story of how he met and fell in love with the girl of his dreams when he least expected it. After two years, he popped the question. Enjoy!

How We Met

We met in 2012. I had started working in Port-Harcourt then as a geoscientist and I was on the field most of the time; I was single and meeting new babes there was a serious challenge for me. Chika, one of my close friends in Lagos, who wanted me to get serious started hooking me up with different ladies whom he thought matched some major specs I had given him earlier.

Some of my cousins also tried hooking me up with their friends. I had one complaint or another about each of the ladies, but I made sure I kept a good relationship with all of them. At a point, I got tired of all the match-making thing and made up my mind not to entertain anymore hook-ups.
