A university lecturer has reacted to viral rumours that the controversial American president, Trump referred to Buhari as being lifeless after their encounter. The Montevideo conference of 1933 has spelled out indices for nations to be recognized, independent, free and stand in their own rights as sovereign states. Hence, once a state meets the requirements as postulated in the conference of 1933, it becomes a state to reckoned with among the comity of states and enjoys privileges like respect and honor from it counterparts.   Invariably, it is worthy to note that, no nation is independent of others, that means, interdependence and symbiotic relationship between climes make the world to progress.  Unfortunately, great powers like US look down on Afrikaans and African nations. These neo-racist views on Africa leadership and leaders must stop, if the pact of Montevideo conference must be respected and followed respectively.  About the comment made by the U...

When we talk about breast cancer, we rarely talk about the men who are diagnosed with the condition. So often, we assume breast cancer is exclusively a women’s disease, says Dr. Kristen Fernandez, medical director of the breast center at the MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center in Maryland. “Men think they don’t have breast tissue, but they do,” she explains to MensHealth.com. Guys have less breast tissue than women do, so their risk of developing breast cancer is comparatively more rare. In fact, guys make up less than one percent of breast cancer cases.  But the risk of a man developing breast cancer still exists, and Fernandez says many men often ignore the symptoms. While guys don’t necessarily need to perform regular self breast exams, Fernandez strongly believes that guys should occasionally check for pain or lumps in their breast tissue. And if you do experience pain, “don’t ignore it” and see a doctor right away, she says. In advance of Breast Can...

Buhari-Trump Donald Trump will welcome Kenya’s Uhuru Kenyatta to the White House on Monday for what will be only the second one-on-one meeting the US president has held with an African leader since he took office last year.  The first meeting, with Nigeria’s ailing 75-year-old Muhammadu Buhari in April, ended with the US president telling aides he never wanted to meet someone so lifeless again, according to three people familiar with the matter.  Advocates of closer US-Africa ties hope his encounter with the younger, more urbane Mr Kenyatta, 56, will breathe fresh life into a relationship with a region that Washington is seen to have neglected as other countries, notably China, develop ever-closer trade and investment ties with the continent.  Under Emmanuel Macron, France is also trying to reset its relationship with its former colonies in Africa and deepen commercial ties with bigger economies in the Anglo sphere, such as Nigeria and South Africa. ...

A former agent of America's Central Intelligence Agency has reportedly confessed to killing Bob Marley some 37 years after the man's passing. Bob Marley   79-year-old Bill Oxley, ex-agent of America’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is re-writing the history of the death of reggae legend Bob Marley, claiming he actually killed the legend.  Marley tragically died aged only 36-years-old, leading music lovers world-wide to grieve as the Jamaican icon’s life and career were cut short following a four-year battle with cancer.  The story of cancer may seem untrue as startling claims have emerged from a deathbed confession made by an ex-CIA officer, where he admitted to the killing.  Oxley is alleged to have claimed the murder of Marley among 17 other assassinations for the American government between 1974 and 1985, at a time when he said the CIA  “was a law unto itself.”  Oxley, who reportedly worked as an operative for the CIA for...

  Women take sexy selfies to compete with other women and climb the social ladder in economically unequal environments, new research from an Australian university has found.  A study, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal, found women took sexy selfies in environments with greater economic inequality, rather than where they might be oppressed because of their gender.  The researchers analysed more than 68,000 sexualized self-portrait photographs, or “ selfies,” posted on social media platforms Instagram and Twitter across 113 countries.  They also looked at where in the world the most selfies were taken.  The researchers found the association between sexy-selfie prevalence and income inequality was directly related, with greater sexualisation in environments where incomes are unequal and people are preoccupied with relative social standing. “We found no association with gender oppression,” the study said...
