UNIMAGINABLE!!!-A Female banker sends robbers after a customer

SHOCKING!!

A female cashier working in a new generation bank along New Market Road, Onitsha, Anambra State has landed in trouble for sending robbers after a customer just after he withdrew N5 million from the bank.

Tragedy struck at the nation’s premier university, the University of Ibadan (UI), as the Dean, Faculty of Arts, Professor Kolawole Aderemi Olu-Owolabi, slumped and died at Mokola area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Sunday.

The Lagos state government plans to ban smoking in public places.

This was made known by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye said this yseterday when he stated that “the provisions of the new traffic laws had prohibited people from drinking or smoking while driving in the state.”He hinted that the ban on smoking will be an extension of the state’s traffic law which already forbids drivers to drink.

According to Mr Ipaye, “it is an offence to smoke while driving, smoking is totally prohibited for drivers; obviously it is not just for safety reasons it is also for health reasons because we are moving towards banning smoking in all public places."

Ipaye said the government decided to “criminalise” traffic offences and sanction offenders, as part of the strategy to bring the chaotic traffic situation within the metropolis under control

Proscovia Oromait-Africa's Youngest/World Second Youngest Parliamentarian

The girl has done great no matter what they think, sympathy or no sympathy.

A teenage girl fresh out of high school has won a seat in Uganda's parliament, adding to the ruling party's majority but embarrassing some who say her success lowers expectations of lawmakers in the East African country. Proscovia Oromait, 19, contested elections deep in eastern Uganda to fill the seat left vacant after her father's death. President Yoweri Museveni's ruling party had been desperate for a win there, having lost seven in eight parliamentary by-elections this year. The polls are widely seen as a test of Museveni's popularity, and some calculated that she would win with a sympathy vote. She is now Uganda's youngest lawmaker ever and world yongest after Pierre-Luc Dusseault who was elected into the Candian House of Commons in 2011 at 19years 11months old.

The magical powers of the Bitter Kola

Botanical Name: Garcinia kola,English Name: Bitter Kola

Traditionally used to treat illness by African medicine men, trials on the plant have shown promising signs it may benefit Ebola victims by slowing down multiplication of the virus, giving the victim’s body more time to develop a proper autoimmune response. The active compound responsible for its curative properties is a dimeric flavonoid, much like those found in orange and lemon rinds, and yields to modification, so even if this particular plant cannot cure ebola on its own, it provides the foundation from which scientists can discover a cure. Studies, if successful, could spill over to other types of antiviral treatment.
