Nigeria's first lady breaks down on missing chibok school girls!

Nigeria's first lady Patience Jonathan recently broke down in tears over the abducted school girls when she said Borno State first lady was trying to frustrate her efforts about helping the State Government to rescue the missing school girls.



Patience who spoke mostly in pidgin language broke down in tears, saying ‘There is God o, There is God o’ in an emotion ladened voice.

Meanwhile there are reports saying Patience Jonathan has asked Nigerian women all over the country to desist from protesting, since the person it concerns most (Borno's first lady) was not interested in people helping them to find the girls.

She said they have had two meetings and she turned the two meetings down. She also queried the principal of the school for attending the meeting alone without bringing two teachers she asked her to come with for more questions. Watch the video below.

'Young Blood' Injections Could Be Key to Anti-Aging!

According to the New York Times, scientists have confirmed that young blood might hold the key to anti -aging. 

Researchers at multiple universities confirmed the long-held theory when they injected older mice with the blood of younger mice, only to find that their muscles and brains were suddenly rejuvenated.

Long story short: aging wasn't just slowed or halted, but reversed. Simultaneously incredible and terrifying, right?

But rather than think about a world of only youthful people, let's look at the amazing medical potential here. In their study, Stanford scientists found that the younger blood sped up muscle repair in the older mice; at Harvard, research showed that this science could aid ailing heart tissue. At the University of California, San Francisco, a team found that inserting the blood into the brain stimulated a flow of neurons, and the old mice consequently performed better on memory tests. The scientists concluded that this could mean that in addition to just helping muscle deterioration, more serious issues for the elderly—like Alzheimer's—might also be reversed. Huge.

While scientists from all parties are thrilled that their research all matches up, we should take it all with a grain of salt—after all, one doctor told the Times that for all we know, such a procedure could also greatly increase the risk of cancer. And though the prospect of real life Benjamin Buttons walking among us may be terrifying, this is a major breakthrough.        

Well......... No comment from meoooooo.

Bomb threat in Lagos: Fashola blasts US report!

Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola reportedly frowned at the recent report by the United States of an imminent bomb attack in Lagos state.

The report, which went viral on the social media during the weekend warned US citizens in Nigeria, saying “groups associated with terrorism” could be planning to attack Sheraton Hotel in Lagos.

But Fashola strongly flayed the report, saying that that could further heat up the polity should have been better handled by the US.

The governor, who spoke while handing over 100 patrol vans and 150 motorcycles to the state’s police command, said the report came at a time when the country is battling terrorism.

He said, “There is no further information regarding the timing and method of the attack. US citizens were just cautioned to avoid the hotel. I think there are channels of communication which information of that type can be shared without creating panic. And I think that citizens of all nations can be protected without throwing a cat among pidgins.

“I will hope that we are more circumspect in the way we share information and that our intentions are noble.

“This is very important. At this time, what the country needs is more information in the right hands, to the right places. This will assist our agencies and government to overcome this difficult period”.

Speaking on the recent abduction of about 200 school girls in Chibok,Borno, Fashole urged all Nigerians to unite to ensure their rescue.

He urged the police in the state to be dedicated to their duty and ensure judicious use of the items.

Fashola said, “These tools mean nothing unless we have dedicated men and women who choose to act professionally in the responsibility of law enforcement entrusted upon them”.
