Coca cola And NBC To Go Under Inspection Over Soft Drinks Unfit For Human Consumption

Consumer Protection Council has directed Coca Cola Nigeria Limited and the Nigerian Bottling Company to subject their manufacturing processes to the Council’s inspection for a period of 12 months to ensure compliance with laid down safety standards and regulations or face prosecution.

The directive came as a result of the outcome of a recent investigation by the CPC, which revealed that cans of sprite soft drink manufactured by NBC under the licence of Coca Coca Nigeria Limited, were unfit for human consumption.

The Director General, CPC, Mrs. Dupe Atoki, disclosed this at a press briefing on the ‘Investigation into Violation of Product Quality Standards by the Nigerian Bottling Company and Coca Cola Nigeria Limited’, in Lagos yesterday.

Former delta soap model turned Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie who was recently rumored to be dead in a recent interview shared her opinions about married women without jobs.

Angela thinks its only a stupid woman that marries without having a job or work of her own.

According to her ”Any woman who goes into marriage without engaging in meaningful thing must be stupid. No matter how small, let the man see that you are hardworking.

It doesn’t make sense for any woman to sit in the house and just be bearing children all the time. You have to look for something to do to help the man. If a woman is working, there are certain things she doesn’t need to ask the man to provide for. It’s not enough to get married to a rich man.”

Nollywood top actress, Rita Dominic, is one screen diva that has managed to capture the hearts of Nigerians and Nollywood lovers all over the world.

The Imo State born actress is one fabulous lady with great acting skills and a beautiful body to capture the eyes of viewers.

Dominic started performing when she was a child, appearing in school plays and children's television shows in Imo state. In 1998 she starred in her first movie A time to kill.

She won the City People Awards in 2004 as the Most Outstanding Actress, an award that everyone would agree is well deserved. She has starred in over 100 Nollywood productions so she is definitely a known face in the industry.

Contrary to God's instruction in the Bible that says 'meditate in my words day and night', it has been revealed that more Americans check Facebook daily than they read the Bible. And facebook has more monthly users worldwide than most continents have people.

Facebook, which celebrates its 10th anniversary, has 757 million daily active users worldwide. Of those 19% are in the US and Canada, so that's more than 143 million people checking Facebook daily.

The Bible used to be the go-to for statistics about reading, pre-digital age. A 2006 CBS News poll found 15% of US adults read the Bible or other religious texts daily. There are about 267 million adults in the US and Canada. That means about 40 million people reading the Bible daily.

And then there are monthly users - Facebook claims 1.23 billion of them. That's more people than live in any country but China. In fact, Facebook is beyond comparing to nations and is more continental in magnitude. Facebook's monthly user population is larger than six of the seven continents, only behind Asia.

How Your Weight Could Lead To Your Untimely DEATH! - Experts Warn

From the runway to the private homes, physicians are examining the implications of being underweight, which is what thinness foists upon its victims.

The fearful thing about this phenomenon is that young children, especially girls, are imitating the trend, with some even starving themselves in order to maintain the weight of their screen or pop idol. Yet, experts warn that being too thin has serious health implications for the young and old, male and female.

Diseases associated with being underweight:

Experts note that psychiatric disorders, disordered eating behaviours and chronic illnesses such as malignancies, hyperthyroidism, AIDS, renal disease, and inflammatory bowel disease are almost always associated with underweight status.

American highly-rumoured pop-star, Justin Bieber, has boasted about taking former lover Selena Gomez’s virginity.

The 19-year-old celebrity made the uncouth remark about Gomez, 21, “with no embarrassment or shyness whatsoever,” according to a source.

According to a friend close to the boyfriend singer,

"t was in the summer of 2011. They flew to Palm Springs for a couple days and had a super private place to stay. The purpose of the trip was 100 per cent because Selena finally said ‘yes’ to having sex with him. They agreed because they both said they were in love. Justin told me, "I knew she was in love with me when she gave me her virginity." He said it with no embarrassment or shyness whatsoever."

It would be recalled that Bieber and Gomez started their relationship in December 2010 and broke up in November 2012 – only to reconcile later that month.

However, in January 2013 they split again, but have remained close, with Gomez seemingly going to Bieber’s aid last month as his personal issues with the law began to flare up.

Nigerian Muslims Mourn Over Scholar's Death

Thousands of Nigeria Muslims have continued to mourn the death of Nigeria’s leading Salafist scholar and prominent anti-Boko Haram preacher, Sheikh Mohamed Awwal Adam Albani who was assassinated Saturday night while returning from one of his routine lectures.

"They thought killing us would deter us from preaching the truth. They don't know that they are encouraging us. Sunni scholars are always happy to be killed in the course of Allah,” Kano-based Islamic scholar Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa was quoted by The Daily Trust on Monday, February 3.

“Therefore, the killing of Sheikh Muhammad Awwal Albani though painful, is an encouragement to us. We will continue to preach more truth so that they will kill us and we die as martyrs,” he added during the funeral of Sheikh Albani on Sunday.

Sheikh Albani was killed on Saturday night after a gang of armed men attacked him and his family, killing the scholar, his wife and son.

Guess What The World’s Biggest Killer Disease Is?

With over 8.2 million people dying of all manner of cancer yearly, it is now the highest killer disease in the world.

This is as the International Agency for Research on Cancer says Nigeria has the highest number of women dying from cervical cancer in Africa.

The agency released the report on Tuesday in Geneva, Switzerland as the United Nations marked the World Cancer Day.

There is an estimated 8.2 million deaths from cancer in 2012 while 14.1 million cancer cases were recorded in the same year-equal to the population of India’s largest city Mumbai. Cancer cases worldwide will rise by 75 per cent and reach close to 25 million over the next two decades.”

Why Nigerian Bankers Are Living In Fear

The wave of sacking that characterised the banking sector a couple of years back has not abated as the axes are dangling on more workers.

Indications have emerged that more bank workers will lose their jobs in 2014 following cost-cutting measures about to be introduced by the deposit money banks in order to mitigate the effects of some regulatory policies on their profitability.

Since the era of the global financial crisis in the mid-2008 and the special audit test carried out on banks by the Central Bank of Nigeria, the banking sector has witnessed a chain of job losses estimated at more than 15,000 by industry watchers.

The recent increase of Cash Reserve Ratio on public sector funds from 50 per cent to 75 per cent, among other policies, was the main reason for embarking on the staff rationalisation programme.

It’s The End Of The Road For Windows XP And Office 2003!

I remember when I first used a computer. It was e-machines. Very solid system then; as were the many other tech brands that have been swept under the carpet by more vibrant product brands over the years.

I will never forget the still image of a lush green meadow that greeted me on my home screen after the usual Windows XP loading bars and fast forward several years later, we had to upgrade to Windows Vista and so on. Matter of fact, Vista was like a major break from the Windows norm and without entirely taking in its features, Windows 7 was launched and was good, not great. Then came Windows 8. Pure class. Mastery of the art and science of technology. Such ease. I know people who live for the upgrades! What I cease to understand however is why some organizations like our very infamous Cyber Cafés, IT driven firms, etc. have bluntly refused to upgrade to Windows 8. Are they really skeptical about testing new waters or would they rather stick to the status quo? Or is it because Microsoft still provides support for these old versions of the Windows Operating system?

Former Governor of Bayelsa State, Timiprey Silva, on Monday in Yola, Adamawa State capital, apologized to all Nigerians on behalf of the Niger Delta region for producing an incompetent leader in the person of president Goodluck Jonathan.

“The country is not performing, the ship is sinking due to poor leadership,” he said, urging all Nigerians to put hands on deck to oust PDP in 2015.

Silva, who spoke at a grand rally organised by the opposition All Progressives Congress said he was tendering the apology on behalf of elders of the Niger Delta region.

Several days after Ace comedian "I Go Save" and his girlfriend, Becky have welcomed a wonderful baby girl, named Aliana, the mother and the little girl were discharged from Hanusch hospital, Austria.

He made this known via Instagram yesterday with this photo captioned "my dota Oghenemaro Aliana Olamide Onodjayeke goes home..."

The All Progressives Congress has asked the new Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, and the service chiefs to defeat Boko Haram before the 2015 general elections.

The opposition party also urged them to liaise with other arms of the security agencies to improve the level of security across the country ahead of the 2015 elections.

The perty expressed the hope that such a promise was not made to ensure the speedy confirmation of their appointments by the Senate.

The statement reads in part,

Tension, yesterday, enveloped a popular school in Osun State, the Baptist High School, Iwo, as the students wore different dresses that suited their religious inclination to school.

The students, thereby, defiled the state government uniform specification recently introduced in all public secondary schools in the state as part of the schools reclassification programme.

Moreover, they were singing different religious songs while on the assembly for the morning devotion.

While the Christian students who wore white garments sang Christian songs, the Muslim students who appeared in veil sang Muslim songs.

The school management immediately sent the students to their various classrooms and informed the state Ministry of Education of the development.

Cell phone safety is an important issue in today's world. Everyone knows that they're dangerous. But exactly how dangerous? We don't know yet, but they are dangerous.

It is a common habit today that when we sleep we place our mobile phone under our pillow. Experts are saying it is not safe to sleep with your phone under your pillow. The reasons are not far-fetched. Here are what experts are saying.

Study shows that sleeping next to your mobile phones are extremely dangerous due to its harmful radiation. This is the primary cause of Brain Cancer

Do you know that most cell phones have about 884 MHz wireless signals when it is on? This simply means that your phone is constantly emitting radiation all the time when you on it? So what do you think about it?

Studies have shown that if you keep your cell phone close to you for a period of very long time, it will cause headache, muscle pain, or cancer if it is serious. It is not a guaranteed that you will get these illnesses if you do that. However, it greatly increases the probability of getting it. The “under the pillow” angle of cell phone radiation is just a subset of a larger discussion on the topic of cell phone radiation in general.

Secondary school students have decried the introduction of the 39 new subjects in this year’s May/ June examinations, saying most of the subjects still lack teachers.

Speaking with Vanguard, the students said not having qualified teachers to handle the subjects would defeat the aim of introducing these subjects.

According to the students, “The initiative is a brilliant one, especially when you consider the fact that some students leave school without any hope of knowing what next to do. English Language, General Mathematics, Civic Education and Trade/Entrepreneurial Studies are compulsory for student who would also choose three or four subjects from Humanities, Science, Technology and Business Studies depending on their potential and interest.

If there was any doubt as to how much of an impact sleep has on your life, work and relationships, this study underlines the importance of a good night’s rest.

Conducted by the University of California, Amie Gordon and Serena Chen found that just one night’s poor sleep can damage your relationship.

In the research, reported Psyblog, 78 couples were tracked over a two-week period. Each day the couples were asked to make notes about their sleep quality and any arguments they’d had with their partners that day. The results showed that even for those who were good sleepers, just a single night’s poor sleep showed an increase in arguments and conflict the next day.

“For the first time, to our knowledge, we can see the process of how the nature, degree, and resolution of conflict are negatively impacted by poor sleep,” said Chen, a professor of psychology at UC Berkeley.

Although the findings did not include factors of anxiety, depression or any existing issues in the relationship, poor sleep makes people more irritable, less able to concentrate and fatigued.

The religion of the 21st century is freedom, and freedom of choice is a basic right of any citizen, said Chief Justice D H Waghela, in response to the Bangalore Archbishop’s contention that divorces were not recognised by the Roman Catholic church.

However, a church advocate said, Roman Catholic marriages could be annulled.

A division bench comprising Waghela and Justice B V Nagarathna disposed of a public interest case challenging the Constitutional validity of Section 10A of the Divorce Act, 1869, relating to divorce among Catholic Christians in India.
