The senate has reacted to the corruption allegations leveled against it by the former Pres. Olusegun Obasanjo while at a book launch yesterday in Abuja. In a statement released and signed by its spokesman, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe today, the senate frowned at the allegations that they used their oversight function to extort money, stating that the oversight functions of the senate was the initiative of the former president. The statement reads in part; "Ex- President Obasanjo for the avoidance of doubt, was the initiator of the constituency project in the year 2000 as a means of ensuring that projects were fairly spread across the country using the Senatorial zones as the spring board. To ensure execution of the projects, Obasanjo again factored the constituency projects into the annual budgets to be implemented by the executive depending on availability of funds. That is to say that no lawmaker ever comes close to the funds or even determine the contractor ...

If you fall within the Gen-Y era like us, chances are you’ve given a bunch of thought as to how you would raise your own children in this day and age (assuming you don’t have children already). Especially with technology, so much has changed since our childhoods in the 90s. Here’s one question: Would you introduce the technological wonder/heroin that is the iPod and iPad to your kids? Steve Jobs wouldn’t, and for good reason too. In a Sunday article, New York Times reporter Nick Bilton said he once assumingly asked Jobs, “So your kids must love the iPad?” Jobs responded: “They haven’t used it. We limit how much technology our kids use at home.” Especially in Silicon Valley, there is actually a trend of tech execs and engineers who shield their kids from technology. They even send their kids to non-tech schools like the Waldorf School in Los Altos, where computers aren’t found anywhere because they only focus on hands-on learning. There is a ...

Comedian Joan Rivers' death in September after vocal cord surgery might have been avoidable, according to a new federal health  report , and the drug propofol seems to have played a role. If propofol sounds familiar, that's because it was also implicated in Michael Jackson’s death in 2009; sources  indicate  that he was using it off-label as a sleep aid at the time of his death. So what is this drug that has been involved in the recent deaths of two of our most beloved stars? First tested in the 1970s, propofol is one of the most popular anesthetics in use worldwide. It became more widespread because it caused fewer  side effects  (like nausea) and a faster recovery time in patients than similar drugs. It’s even listed on the World Health Organization’s  list of essential medicines . Surprisingly, scientists only recently learned how exactly general anesthetics like propofol (as opposed to local anesthetics like Novocain) work in the ...
