You’ll never guess which countryGoogles gay porn the most...

This has got nothing to do with me o...lol. I
will post it exactly as I saw it on Pink News.
So we dey Google gay porn like this for
Nigeria? Choi! Read below...
A surprising country has topped
Google’s rankings for searching for
pictures of gay sex. Anti-gay laws and
strong social stigma appear to be doing
nothing to abate the curiosity of
everyday people – with Kenya’s
searches for gay sex outranking those of
all Western countries.
Kenya tops the Google trends rankings
for both ‘gay sex pics‘ and ‘gay porn
pics', with an extraordinarily high search
index.
South Africa came second, followed by
Nigeria and Pakistan, with the US & UK
ranking a distant seventh and eighth.
92% of the Kenyan population agree that
homosexuality is ‘unacceptable’, while
having sex “against the order of nature”
in the country can carry a prison
sentence of up to 21 years.
The Anti-Homosexuality Bill would
introduce harsh punishments for
homosexuality, with life imprisonment or
the death penalty for ‘aggravated
homosexuality’.

Chris Brown and Karruecheexpecting a child?

There have been rumours since September
that Karrueche and Chris Brown are expecting
a baby, and the rumour went into overdrive
last night after Chris Brown's friend 'Wack
$tar' posted the pic above on instagram with
his hands on Karrueche's stomach and said
he hoped it was a boy. Time will tell if she's
truly pregnant. I doubt this is the way they'd
want to announce it though...
Meanwhile, check out Chris and Karrueche's

We don't know yet when Chibokgirls will be released- Minister ofInterior

Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro, in a
meeting this weekend, ruled out any specific
date for the release of abducted Chibok girls
but noted that their release was priority on
government agenda.
“The true picture in Nigeria as far as
insurgency in the North-East is
concerned is that the war on Nigeria by
the terrorists is still on. And, of course,
from the onset of this crisis, government
had indicated tackling the insurgency on
three fronts: point of engagement, point
of consultation and point of
containment. And so, consultations
definitely will continue: And don’t forget
that because of the prolonged nature of
the insurgency, a lot of activities are
going on, both at the level of
government and the level of the
insurgents.
"So now, the insurgents are divided into
various sectors especially with the death
of their leader, Shekau. (But I thought
Shekau resurfaced in a video just
recently? someone asked) the minister
ignore and continued
"However, at the moment, our foreign
partners and collaborators are helping
and collaborating with Nigeria to arrive
at a peaceful resolution of the matter
and to bring the insurgency to an end.
And one of the issues on the table in
arriving to an end to the crisis is the
release of the Chibok girls. It is one
issue at stake as part of the resolution
of the crisis.But for anybody to put a
date on the release of the Chibok girls,
that person is just being speculative, but
we will certainly get there soon”.

Suya and the cancer controversy

The controversy surrounding the link between consumption of barbecued or roasted meat and the risk of development of cancer is as old as the hills. In Nigeria, the local skewered savoury beef or chicken popularly called Suya, carries the can. Suya-suya Traditionally prepared by the Hausa, the thinly sliced meat is garnished in a complex mixture of spices, salt, vegetable oil and other flavourings and additives which make up the Suya marinade (known as Yaji) and then barbecued before being served with dried pepper mixed with spices and sliced onions, cabbage and tomatoes.

The dried version of the Suya known as Kilishi is just as popular particularly in the northern part of Nigeria. Suya is very tasty and much savoured by Nigerians from all walks of life. A trip to any of the big hotels in the nation’s cities and particularly to the local and international wings of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, attests to this. In June this year, I attended a nutrition function in Lagos where a professor of nutrition, Prof. Ignatius Onimawo, advised regular consumers of the local skewered beef or chicken popularly called Suya, to eat the delicacy with generous portions of the slices of onions, cabbage, tomatoes and other vegetables. A fortnight ago, I encountered the professor again at another nutrition event also in Lagos where he again spoke at length about the health hazards of suya consumption. Like he did during the first event, Orimawo, a researcher and lecturer at the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, revealed how research had shown a strong link between consumption of suya and increased risk of cancer. According to the nutritionist, the same research had proved that consumption of suya garnished with onions and other vegetables, has a strong cancer-lowering effect. Recalling a warning by the World Health Organisation, WHO, 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, would increase by more than 27 percent in developing countries like Nigeria, compared to 17 percent in the developed world. In his view, dietary habits play a major role in outcome of our health and one of this is cancer. “Take breast cancer for an example,its incidence used to be very low among our women in those days and it was even tagged oyinbo disease because it was very rare in Nigeria or in Africa for that matter. But today, this is no longer the case. Breast cancer is everywhere. It is even killing people in the village. When we carried out studies to try to look at the aetiology of the disease, to find out where it all started, what we discovered was that we could trace the origin to suya consumption,” Orimawo admonished. In the second event, Orimawo spoke at length about the hazards of the consumption of Suya had reservations about the Mai Shani (oil used in suya preparation). “The suya meat already contains enough fat, now the oil sprinkled on it is also from fat, that is why it kept by the fire to keep it in liquid form. It is highly saturated, and drips into the fire sending up smoke that contains carcinogens.” Narrowing down the conversation to suya preparation, he remarked: “During preparation of suya, the meat is cooked over an open fire, and oils from the meat undergo complex chemical reactions that produce toxins that are carcinogenic (cancer-causing) in nature. Meat cooked over open flame often causes the formation of toxic compounds known as Heterocyclic Amines, HCAs, which are carcinogenic. The more well-done meat is cooked, the higher concentration of carcinogenic HCAs can form.” Explaining that cancer is due to oxidative processes in the body, he said onions are powerful antioxidants that effectively stop the oxidative process triggered by consumption of suya from taking place. Further, Onimawo said one of the outcomes of the findings was that women, who consume suya, are more prone to cancer (breast cancer) than men because they (women) tend to consume just the suya and ignore the vegetables. “Men eat onions, women eat suya: “This is practically proven. Many young men, take girls out and buy suya to entertain them. Normally, apart from the spices sprinkled on the meat, the suya is served with slices of onions, cabbage and tomatoes in some cases. “The onion and other vegetables are actually added to act as antidote to the effect of the oil from the suya. Onions neutralise the oxidative effect of the chemicals in the oil and help prevent cancer, but because the young man wants to impress the girl, he will be eating the onions, while the girl eats the suya. At the end of the day he is preventing cancer, unknowingly, while the girl is eating the cancer.” A number of studies support the use of local spices such as ginger, clove, red pepper, black pepper, onion, thyme, oregano and garlic in a meat marinade before grilling also drastically reduce any carcinogens that normally would form on grilled meat. The suya sauce, a.k.a. Yaji, comprising most of these spices is believed to help ameliorate possible negative effects of the roasted red meat. However, findings link excessive consumption to possible kidney damage. The antioxidants in rosemary and thyme from a marinade were specifically cited in studies at being powerful inhibitors of HCA formation when grilling meats. Essentially, when meat is grilled, broiled, or seared, carcinogenic HCAs are formed. However, when meat is cooked in a water base the dangerous HCAs are eliminated. So meats cooked in a soup or crock pot will not have the problem of the carcinogenic HCAs and is a healthier way to cook meat. Remember that the more well-done a meat is cooked, the higher concentration of carcinogenic HCA’s can form, so rare, medium-rare, or medium are healthier choices than well-done. If you like your roast or barbecued meat well-done, remember that you may be eating a lot more carcinogens than meat that not as well cooked. So make sure to load up on using spices to drastically reduce the formation of HCAs on grilled meat...post by expdonaloaded

Nigeria must diversify its economy – Aganga

The minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Olusegun Aganga, has called for the diversification of economy saying it is the only way the country could achieve economic development.

The minister who made reference to the feat achieved by the former Premier of the Western Region, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, urged the present leaders to emulate past leaders, who used natural resources to improve the lots of their people and regions Minister of Trade & Investment, Olusegun Aganga Minister of Trade & Investment, Olusegun Aganga He said this on Friday as the 6th convocation lecturer of Bells University of Technology, Ota, Ogun State, while speaking on the topic: Emergence of Nigeria as Africa’s leading economy: Challenges for the Future. According to him, for the country to maintain its position and even improve as the leading economy in Africa, it must encourage the growing of farm cash crops and embrace new standards in processing technologies. He said, “We need to diversify our economy. We need to go back to the good old days when the proceeds from Cocoa were used to build the Cocoa House in Ibadan. “We must improve the standard of what we produce and export. “If we must compete, we must acquire the necessary skills, we must provide an environment where there is finance for the private sector. We cannot be competitive if we don’t link innovation with industry.” “While he explained that the new economic status of the nation has been attracting foreign investors with many heads of state and presidents leading several investors from their nations to Abuja, he added that “the best time to invest in the country is now.” The vice-chancellor, Prof. Adebayo Adeyemi noted that for the transformation agenda of the federal government to yield the necessary fruit it must ensure it has inbuilt components of knowledge economy. According to him, knowledge economy relies on intellectual capabilities than on physical inputs or natural resources only. He said, “Leading edge economies are now being driven by technologies based on knowledge, information, production and dissemination. It has been established that the widely accepted pillars of knowledge economy are economic incentive, innovation, education and information infrastructure....post by expdonaloaded

Jonathan, most performing president since independence, says Okupe...

Abuja – Dr Doyin Okupe, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, said on Friday that President Goodluck Jonathan, remains the most performing president the country has had since independence.

Okupe said this at the Public Affairs Forum held in Abuja. The four-day forum was organised under the auspices of Okupe’s office to highlight the achievements of the Jonathan-led administration. Okupe said that although previous Nigerian leaders performed well within the circumstances they found themselves, none of them achieved half of what President Jonathan have achieved in four years.

President Goodluck Jonathan displaying Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms at the People’s Democratic Party’s Secretariat in Abuja on Thursday (30/10/14). The presidential aide described as “nonsense” claims that the Transformation Agenda of the President existed only in the media. “It is nonsense to say that the Transformation Agenda of Jonathan existed in the television. We have not spoken about what he has done. We are going to overwhelm Nigerians during the campaign.” He said it was regrettable that not much had been done to sell the good performance of the Jonathan`s administration to Nigerians. Okupe, however, held that past Nigerian leaders contributed immensely to the development of the country to their best abilities as each of them recorded his own achievement. He said that the Jonathan-led Federal Government would showcase its achievements to Nigerians during the presidential campaign for 2015. This, he said, would convince the people that Jonathan remains the best option for the country in the years to come. He, however, advised Nigerians to shun the antics of the opposition, saying that in spite of their criticism, they had not told Nigerians what they would offer, if given the opportunity to govern. “This election will be a ‘no contest’ affair. We are telling the world what Jonathan has done. We will not stop until well beyond February. 2015,” he said. Also speaking, the Minister of Transport, Sen. Idris Umar, presented the ministry’s achievements in the last four years during the event with the theme “Jonathan`s administration: Four impactful years”. He said the resuscitation and modernisation of the Nigerian Railway system had reached an advance stage. The minister highlighted various stages of work on new and existing rail lines in different parts of the country, many of which, he said, would be completed by the end of the year. He stated that the Jonathan-led administration had repositioned the Nigerian port system in line with global best practices. The administration, he said, had also increased the use of inland waterways and enhanced maritime safety and security. The minister said that the administration had also improved the inter-model coordination of the Nigerian transport system and enhanced private sector participation in transportation in the country. “These achievements have certainly impacted positively on the actualisation of the Transformation Agenda of Mr. President to the overall benefit of the Nigerian economy and the citizens,” he said.
