Chidinma Ekile has revealed she is not a fan of dating celebrities .She tells Pulse TV it's a lot of headache as they is alot of madness in fame.. I am actually not a fan of celebrity relationships. I don’t know how others feel about it, but for me I am not a big fan of it. I just think it is a lot of headache. You are both in the same line of work. Who calms who?So it’s a lot of madness already and we are both in it and we are both running around. It doesn’t work for me.  It can be anything not music but if God says that’s what is going to be then who am I to argue but as human as I am I don’t think I will like that.

These virgins are having babies through IVF treatment at clinics across Britain. At least 25 women have given birth in the past five years despite never having had sex.

A lot are in their 20s, sometimes studying or doing very ordinary jobs and often living with their parents, rather than career women who have been driven and focused too much on their work. When I ask why they are coming for treatment, often the response is they are ready to have a child and do...

Some bodybuilding chickens named Dong Tao in Vietnam. Below is how they described the chicken Once they reach this age, they weigh in, on average, at a massive 13.5 pounds. To put this in perspective, the average chicken weighs between three and five pounds. At least one third of the Dong Tao’s weight is from its legs, which typically have a circumference of at least four inches. Despite the enlarged size of the chicken, its meat is particularly tender and has a naturally sweeter flavor than regular chicken. This sweetness is the result of an enzyme in the bird that allows the legs to grow so large. Due to the distinctive flavor and investment of time in raising  Dong Tao chickens, they sell for a considerable price. They average around $10 per pound, although there is at least one recorded sale of a twenty-two pound chicken selling for nearly $300.

I neither mention any organization's or individual's name. However, the warning was to inform a specific group of people whose activities are imminical to our collective quest for peace as enumerated in the release. At this point, it is important to observe that what is r...

Youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, the Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, has advised those spearheading the agitations of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra that seceding from Nigeria would not be in the interest of Ndigbo. The OYC National President, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro stated this on Saturday during a press conference in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, while unveiling plans for this year’s Igbo Youths Day slated for Monday in Umuahia. He stressed that it is better for Ndigbo to remain in Nigeria and struggle for their fair share of the ‘national cake’ than fight for self-determination which is bound to come with consequences. “It is better we remain in Nigeria and fight for our rights than secede. We have been patient enough and in 2019, it will be our turn to produce a Nigerian President. It will take a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction to heal the wounds of Biafra,” he stated. Isiguzoro however called o...
