Heavy Make Up Causes Cancer Beware!!!

Mrs Ayopo Adeyemi, a dermatologist has warned women against the use of heavy makeup, saying it aggravates skin problems. Adeyemi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Lagos that the use of heavy makeup could lead to skin irritation, allergies and even skin cancer. Mrs Ayopo Adeyemi, a dermatologist has warned women against the use of heavy makeup, saying it aggravates skin problems. Adeyemi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Lagos that the use of heavy makeup could lead to skin irritation, allergies and even skin cancer.

She said that excessive makeup was usually used by women to cover skin problems like pimples, allergies, patches, scars, dark circles, boils and wrinkles. The expert, however, warned that this could aggravate the problems if care is not taken. Adeyemi added that the harmful effects of makeup were not limited to skin related issues, but also varieties of other health challenges. “Lipsticks, Kajal sticks and eye-shadows, for example, are known to contain lead, carcinogen and neurotoxin that can affect the nervous system adversely, leading to high blood-pressure, allergies, behavioural abnormalities and even decreased rates of fertility.”

She explained that some chemical preservatives used in many cosmetics were hazardous. ”Using too much product on your skin will eventually further the wrinkles, lines and spots you are attempting to conceal, and ultimately make you look older than you actually are,” she said. The dermatologist said that it was imperative that makeup enthusiasts indulge in proper cleaning regime to remove all traces of chemicals from the skin. “There are plenty of face washes, cleansers and scrubs available in the market to choose from.” She advised women to use natural facial treatments like cucumber, tomatoes, honey, eggs instead of using unsafe products.

Nigerian Military School Nurse Administers Wrong Medicine On Student Nearly Killing Him

A 13-year-old student of the Command Secondary School in Suleja, near Abuja, narrowlyescaped death after being treated with the wrong medication by a nurse at the school clinic, Saharareporters is reporting. It was learned that the incident occurred on April 30 when the student sought medical treatment for having a high body temperature. After the drugs were administered to the student, he began to develop rashes all over his body. He also noticed that his lips were swollen and his eyes were red. The situation worsened when the nurse abandoned him for three days. It was gathered that school authorities later called the student’s parents to inform them of the development, but by the time they arrived at the school, his condition had worsened to the point that he needed to be rushed to Kubwa General Hospital in Abuja to recuperate from the near-fatal experience..

The parents were told that their son had been given Augmentin and Paracetamol tablets, but tests conducted at the hospital revealed his reaction was caused by sulfur. A team of medical experts from NAFDAC reportedly corroborated the hospital’s findings, saying the negative reaction could have been avoided if the school had acted expediently. Meanwhile, the commandant and management of the Command Secondary School have remained indifferent to the plight of the ailing student, who is still lying ill at the pediatric department of the hospital. The parents have accused the school authorities of dishonesty over the drugs administered. The matron of the school, Lt. Colonel B.S. Omoge, however, admitted that the boy had been administered Fansidar and Paracetamol. Medical experts revealed that the teenager had suffered a medical condition called Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), which is a rare but serious condition arising from a severe reaction to taking certain drugs. . The parents continue to seek redress over the authorities’ neglect of their ward for three days and failing to contact them for his medical history before administering the drugs.

An Old Woman Says She’s a Virgin and Has Never Kissed a Man

A 52 year old South African Woman, Thembisile Ntaka has surprised many with her confession of being a virgin and never kissing any man in her entire life. She made this revelation at an event organised by eThekwini Municipality at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Tuesday night. “Even at my age, I still go to Umkhosi woMhlanga,” said Thembisile at a social cohesion dialogue about virginity. “I began this journey when I was 14 years old. I get a lot of people criticising me for being a virgin and not having children. Some even tell me I will die a lonely woman. But that does not make me want to change my life.” Thembisile said that she is one of the most respected women in Botha’s Hill, encouraging young women to remain virgins. “I’m the lastborn at home. My eight siblings got married and left me with my brother’s two children.”“I decided then I didn’t want to be one of those girls,” she said. She said each time there is virginity testing in her area, she is always the first one in line. “I don’t care if I die without children or a husband. I’m happy with my life and so is my family.” During the conference, where virgins and virginity testers discussed the importance of purity, tester Zanele Shezi-Sishi said it’s important for women to look after themselves. “Staying a virgin helps to avoid infections and disease.” Head of recreation at eThekwini Municipality, Thembinkosi Ngcobo, said they chose the topic because too many girls fall pregnant at an early age.

SEVEN THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER SAY TO A LADY

Most times, it is guys who fall prey to these kinds of faux pas. Even though you might not mean any harm, guys, you should be sensitive enough never to say or ask any of these. I am sure the ladies will totally agree with me.

•   Why are you single? Dude, even if you want to ask her out, that’s just wrong. It makes things awkward, especially if she is not single of her own choice.
•  When will you get married? You might feel because she is dating, this is an okay question to strike up a conversation but then, you don’t know the state of her relationship so why should you go poking in something you know nothing about? 
•   I think you shouldn’t eat that This one is usually directed at women on the heavier side or pregnant women. You are not her doctor. She knows what is good for her. There is no need for you to make her feel uncomfortable just because you can’t mind your business.
• Does your kid talk/walk/have teeth yet? Obviously, you are trying to compare your child with hers and that is just wrong. Supposing her child is not doing any of those yet, you will just make her worry, especially if she is a first-time mom. 
•  Why don’t you like me/ what do you need me to do to make you like me? That you have to ask this question means there is a serious problem. Pal, save yourself a headache and move on.
•   What is that? (referring to a scar or mark on the body) The lady may have had a terrible experience and asking might ruin her mood so unless something leads to it, just leave it alone. 
•  How old are you? Never ask this is public. Will you use her age to go to the market?

Diary Of A Church Girl Part 2(Must Read)

Bode was the closest to me among all the choir members. I could see in him, a younger brother I never had. My school was not so far to the church, so sometimes after service or singing practise, he would say “Aunty Sewa, I’m coming to your place to eat o”. I would tell him to come, since I really didn’t know how to prepare one man meal, I was always having leftover. He was only 20yrs old then, while I was 24. He was a 200 level student of College of Education, Okene, and a native of Oyan where I was serving. When I first got to the church, his school was on break. Before we could really get to know each other, his break was over, so he went back to school. About a month after he left, I saw him in church one Sunday morning. *And then the story of my life changed..* I asked him why he came home so soon, he told me he had not paid his school fees and that his parents were not able to give him the money. I got to know that his dad was an old farmer, and his mum, a petty trader at Oyan market. Money was never my problem, because besides the allowance I was receiving from NYSC, my dad was always sending money into my account without my sisters’ knowledge. He would say he didn’t want me to suffer since I was far from home. So, I asked him the amount he needed. He told me, and I told him to come and meet me in school the next day, so we could go to bank together to withdraw the money. I withdrew almost everything I had in my account, gave him his school fees, transport fare and a token as pocket money, and he was very happy. His mum came later to show her appreciation on behalf of the family and that was what really brought us closer.

Whenever he was away in school, he would be sending text messages to me, thanking me for helping him. Sometimes, he would send me message that he went to bed the previous night with an empty stomach, and out of compassion, I would quickly send him any amount I could afford to buy foodstuff, and as usual, he would appreciate me. Soon, we were on Christmas break. I didn’t want to travel, but my dad insisted I should come to Lagos. After the break, I was supposed to return to Oyan in January. Daddy couldn’t give me enough money as he had spent a lot during the festive season. He expected me to still have some money in my bank account. He was taken aback when he asked me how much I had with me and I answered, “Nothing sir”. “You don’t mean it!. What are you using money for? Are you feeding more than your mouth? What did you do with the money I sent to your account last month?….Hun?.Tell me!.” Mummy and Sis Temi heard him as he was talking to me in annoyance.

Sis Temi came with her husband and daughter to visit our parents. She was busy chatting with mum, when they heard daddy raising his voice. The moment she heard that dad was sending money to me, she said “Da-dd-y!.So you’ve been sending money to Sewa every month!!..I am the first person to go on national service in this house and I remember if I didn’t ask you for money, you wouldn’t give me and I would have to give you the details of what I needed the money for, before you would give it.” “And you, (turning to me) what are you spending money on?.Have u bought a plot of land?. Oh! You want to build a house in Oyan right?.Is that not so?” My compassion for Bode resulted into spending all my money on him almost led into a fight in my family that fateful day. But then, what was I not doing right?........ Watch Out For Episode 3.

After the action, I locked the door behind him and started weeping. I wept till my eyeballs turned red and my head began to ache. I was confused, I didn’t know what to do, I was just weeping. I couldn’t even pray, I never thought I could do such a thing. i thought I was strong enough to stand. Oh my God!…How wrong I was!!. The next day was Friday, I couldn’t go to school. I had headache, so I called my HOD to inform her I would be absent. She promised to tell the Principal and wished me quick recovery. I couldn’t attend d burial nor singing practise on Saturday, I just locked myself up in my room and was weeping from time to time. On Sundays, I was unusually absent from church. Some choir members came to check on me after service. They met me under my blanket, shivering. Now I had developed emergency fever. One of them quickly called Pastor Williams who rushed down to my place with his wife. They took me to the health centre. I was treated on malaria, given some drugs and injection, and was told to come on Monday and Tuesday to complete the injection. The Williams brought me back home and asked if I wouldn’t mind to go with them to their place, so I wouldn’t be the only one at home, I declined. So, they left after praying for me.

I slept off and woke up late in the night. Now I felt like eating something. I looked at my phone, it was 11.17pm. I got up, ate bread with fruit juice and went back to bed. I couldn’t sleep. I was turning from right to left, left to right on the bed. Again, I remembered *“Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed, lest he fall”* I started weeping again. I thought I was standing, now I have fallen. I so much trusted myself, I was so careless. I opened my mouth and began to pray “Lord, Forgive me….have mercy on me….” I didn’t even know when I slept off. When I woke up, I knew I had a dream in which I saw Pastor Mrs Williams talking to me, but I couldn’t remember a single word out of everything she said. As I was trying to recollect what she was telling me in the dream, I heard a gentle voice in my spirit, "Go and open up to her" …. “Ahhhh!.How on earth would I be able to do that? I cant Lord!.I cant!!.”. v I didn’t hear the voice again, at least at that moment. The next thing I heard was a knock on my door. “Who is that?”..I spoke softly. I didn’t hear any response from the other end. I moved to the door, unlocked it, and opened.Guess who was standing there. Watch out for Episode 9

It was Bode that woke me up the following morning. He told me his dad’s burial had been for the next weekend, and there’s no money. He told me how his dad’s family members started blaming his mum for not giving them adequate information about his dad’s illness before the old man eventually passed away. All these stories made me love the woman more. At last, he decided to go. I saw him off to the door, and he suddenly turned back, hugged me and gave me a peck. I came back to the room, and started thinking of how I could help Bode and his mum concerning the burial. The only source I had was my dad, but I wasn’t sure he would even send money again this month ending as I was having a feeling he sent the last one because of my birthday. But then, I wouldn’t be able to wait till the end of the month, to know if he would send money or not, as the burial was fixed for 29th April. So, then what can I do oooo?. “Oh Yes!..I have an idea. I will call my dad that I need money. But what if he asked what I needed it for, what would I say?.. “I will tell him somebody is sick and that the doctor said he needs surgery, but there’s no money, so, I wish I could render any little assistance within my reach…Can you be of help sir?”.

That was exactly what I did. He said “Who is this sick person?”. “It’s one of d ‘corpers’ sir”…I lied. “Ok. Since it’s something that has to do with life, I will try and send any amount I can between now and tomorrow. My regards to him. We’ll also remember him in our prayers”. “Thank you dad. Love you sir.” I hung up. Then, my conscience pricked me gently “You just told a lie!.. How disappointed would your dad be if he found out!.” I felt bad, but I quickly consoled myself by a thought “what could I have done?. How would he know?.Who will tell him?..he cant know!.” Almost immediately, I was relieved. I expected an alert from d bank throughout that day, to no avail, the following day too, no alert, but on d third day, I received an alert of 50,000naira. Wow!. I quickly called Bode after withdrawing the money, to come and meet me at home after school hours, by then, it was just two days to the burial, 7th April. When he got to my room, I said “How much have you been able to get now for the burial?.” He sai, "nothing", that his mum’s sister who promised to send an amount of money last week failed, but just received a message from her that morning that she would send 4,000naira. I opened my bag and gave him the 50,000 naira my dad sent.

He opened his mouth and couldn’t shut it. He held me very tightly, kissed me and before we both knew, we were both caressing each other!. Initially, I was somehow hesitant and uncomfortable, but it became more engaging and joyful with time. By the time I realised, we were both naked but the real deed had not been committed yet. As I laid on the bed, a thought came to mind saying, " Sewa, how can you do this, remember your vows and how people respect you, remember your holiness and spirituality, remember your family background, remember your big dreams, are you sacrificing all on the alter of sexual gratification, Sewa, remember your virginity, your honour". As these thoughts rushed through my mind within a millisecond, I made efforts to stand up, dress and drive that foolish boy away. But almost immediately, a different thought came to mind saying, " Ah Sewa, you've been a virgin from birth, this might be your only opportunity to test if the joy they talk about sex is really true. You might get it from nowhere if you let this go. Just try it. No one was really a virgin before they married, they lie, they all tried it first". This later thought crippled my conscience, I had no desire to resist again. By the time I came to my full senses, the first thrust was being made. It was painful at first but it subsided and became more accommodating with time. After about fifteen minutes, the deed had been done. I heard Bode crying and saying, "Sis Sewa, I am sorry, I never intended this, forgive me", still sobbing." I couldn't talk for the shame was too much for me than it was for him, I had covered my head in shame. He quickly dressed, took the money and sped off. I felt really bad, one, because I have lost my virginity in a short period of about fifteen minutes, two, because he took the money, as if I have paid him to have sex with me. In about a period of five hours, I was blaming myself, hitting my hands and head on anything I find. But who is to blame? Watch Out For Episode 8

Then something happened. Bode lost his dad. It was then I got to know that the old man had more than one wife, as a matter of fact, he had four. One was late already, and Bode’s mum was the last and the only one living with him until he passed away. Among the children from the other wives, only few of them were educated, others were either bricklayers, drivers, carpenters, tailors or petty traders. It was only Bode’s mum that was struggling to send her children to school. She had three of them for the late farmer. Bode was the firstborn with two kid sisters who were still in high school. The one next to him was preparing to write WASSSCE when their dad passed away. It was announced in the church and we (choir members) decided to go and register our condolence with Bode and other members of the family. On getting there, I was so touched by the way I saw the widows sitting down on a mat, wearing black attire with bowls before each of them where people who came to sympathise with them put money. I said within me “if this kind of a thing should happen in my lifetime, I would NEVER allow my mum to be treated this way. This is humiliation in the highest order.Did these women conspire to kill the man?” Well, we greeted them. I didn’t even know what to say, as I never experienced such before. As the leader, I summoned courage, knelt down beside Bode’s mum and whispered into her ear “God will uphold you ma, He will send help to you from where you least expected. Please, be strong”. She said “Thank you my child. I really appreciate you”. I gave her an amount of money on behalf of the choir. She accepted it, appreciated us, and we left.

When I got home, I couldn’t stop thinking about the woman. “Oh!.She was so young. Why did she marry a polygamist?..a man old enough to be her father” There must be a reason. Whatever the reason might be, I felt for her. She was such a beautiful young woman!. “Never!.I can never go for that kind of a man, I will never allow any stupid love to blind-fold me. I can not even marry anybody from that kind of a family, see their house, the moment I stepped into the compound, I could vividly smell the stench of poverty. Where would I tell my dad I found that kind of a man?.Me?.I even trust myself..I,m more than that.” Then my mind went to what Pastor Mrs Williams told me the day she said she heard a rumour about Bode and me *“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.*

Fall? Fall for where? Falling is only meant for those who don’t stand well. Me, I can’t fall oo. I trust myself. I’ve been keeping myself since and I will continue to keep myself, I’ve determined that no man shall see my nakedness except my husband, and that wont happen until after marriage. That is it! Period! While talking to myself in this manner, I slept off. Then something came up. Watch out in Episode 7.
