For the average man, voluminous breasts are a turn-on. That men drool over breasts is an open secret; and in these days of half-nude dressing styles that tend to favour the baring of the bosom, things can only get as far as people want, and it's getting worse by the day. Some women, too, knowing the wonders that largish breasts can do to men, go all out to put them ondisplay. No wonder that men even lament that they are being sexually frustrated by these unguarded exposures. But beyond the social implications of possessing killer breasts, there are serious health issues: "To make matters worse, the more these chemicals are stored in the breast tissue, the more likely they are to be transferred into a woman's breast milk and passed along to her newborn children."

Sorrow engulfed the Umuodo community of Itu in Ezinihitte LGA of Imo State last weekend when a man and his wife were burnt to death under very controversial circumstances. Mr Ngozi Chilekezi and his wife Patience alias Oil, had lived together as husband and wife for about 12 years before the tragedy. "On entering the room, his wife poured fuel on him, lit a match and held him tightly to ensure that he did no escape from the evil plot," a villager recounted.

The later story gained currency when it was confirmed that the husband, who was badly burnt at the time he was rushed to a nearby hospital, was able to narrate what happened to his relations.
