Doctor Warns KISSING is the Leading Cause of Head and Neck Cancers....

Is nothing sacred?

A top Australian doctor has warned that kissing has overtaken smoking and drinking to become the primary risk factor for developing head and neck cancers.

But how can this be?

Well Dr Mahiban Thomas, who is head of maxillofacial and head and neck surgery at the Royal Darwin hospital, warned that kissing (and just to be clear, we’re talking about full-on snogging rather than a peck on the cheek) can pass on HPV (human papilloma virus) – a family of viruses which can lead to cancer.

A prophet, Destiny Onwudinjo, of Heaven Divine Ministry, in Shasha, a suburb of Lagos, western Nigeria, has committed suicide inside Kirikiri Prison. He was sentenced to seven years imprisonment without an option of fine for absconding from court to evade trial.

He reportedly hit his head several times on the prison wall and his head broke. He later fell down and bled profusely.

So, what are those factors that scare our men away from marriage? We have compiled some reasons that make most men feel jittery about the issues of ‘Marriage’ these days. Details below:

The contract concluded with the following:

The fight against Boko Haram cannot succeed unless leading Islamic scholars with mass followers come out of their silence to preach against the ideology from an intellectual perspective so as to change the narrative to discourage young men from being recruited by the sect.

Governor Kashim Shettima whose state, Borno, has been at the centre of attacks by the Boko Haram insurgents has said.

The governor said that notable Islamic scholars with the capacity to fight the ideology through preaching have maintained silence because they were afraid of being killed like many of their colleagues who were without security details to protect them from the sect.

Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 46th birthday in a jaw-dropping dress..

Albert awoke suddenly from sleep. His damn breathing difficulty had started again. He searched around frantically for his inhaler when the horrific realisation dawned on him; he had left it on the television console when he was watching the late night news. He stared dizzily at the door and felt on the bed for his wife’s presence. Then he remembered that tonight was the night they slept on separate beds. He tossed and turned, and attempted to scream her name but nothing came out. Two hours later, his wife came into the room to wake him for his prayers and found him lifeless. Her screams pierced the hollows of their sombre neighbourhood.

Cultural recommendations, religious affiliations and individual preferences come to play when a couple decides on whether they will use same or separate beds. As cozy as it may be, there are also some disadvantages that come with this practice, even though the advantages are more. Below are some ways to work around the practice:

The first executive governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Diepreye Alameiseigha, yesterday rated the administration of Governor Seriake Dickson high above that of his predecessor, Chief Timipre Sylva, in terms of infrastructural development and socio-economic policies in the last four years, declaring that there was the need for the people of the state to elect him for second term in office.

In this interview with MOTUNRAYO JOEL, a lecturer at the University of Lagos and honorary consultant General Surgeon, Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Dr. Abdulrazzaq Lawal, discusses anal fissure and its treatment

What is an anal fissure?

An anal fissure is a wound in the anal canal. Technically speaking, it can be described as a tear distal to the dentate line in the anal canal. Pain during the passage of a hard bowel movement, and sharp pain that continues afterward are the most common symptoms of an anal fissure. Sitting can be quite painful with an anal fissure. A few drops of blood may be seen in the toilet bowel or when wiping. In an infant, there may be blood in the diaper. The sphincter muscles that surround the anus and help prevent stool leakage may go into spasm and cause longer lasting pain with an anal fissure.

Masturbation is the Sexual Stimulation, especially of one’s own genitals (self masturbation), often to the point of Orgasm. Self stimulation usually with a hand or both hands, by oneself or sometimes with a partner.

This could go out of control and the person becomes masturbatory, indulging in excessively self-absorbed or self-indulgent. This act can take place on one self or between a male and female, or same sex.
It has become necessary for me to touch on some aspects of masturbation, in response to several enquiries and probing questions I have received from our numerous readers.

Masturbation does not necessarily lead to infertility, depending on your particular situation.
It also has no effect on your health as most people think, but each individual must assess the reason why they are masturbating, and unless it is for medical reasons, during the need to produce a Semen sample for processing to treat infertility.

Getting a partner to reveal a (deep) secret seems to have gone beyond the conventional ways, such as intense persuasion, optimism, kneeling down, gift sharing, nice treat and even a promise of reward, among others.

There seems to be an easier, sweeter, cheaper and more affordable way to get a partner to share such secrets. A study carried out by some scientists from the University of Connecticut, United States, showed that having orgasm during sex could make people to reveal important information, like their deepest secrets.

I remember sleeping on the mat and waking up to find larva and ants on your body and you battled to pick them out. I remember going to pick bones from the slaughter slab with which we made soup to eat. I remember the difficulties of going to the farm to make heaps for people in order to make money, carry heavy load on the head to make money in order to live. I remember when school uniforms were our Christmas wears
