WILLIAN DESPERATE FOR HAZARD TO STAY AT CHELSEA

    Willian Desperate For Hazard To Stay At                        CHELSEA Willian says Chelsea have refused to give up hope that talisman Eden Hazard will be at Stamford Bridge next season, with the Belgian apparently edging closer to a move to Real Madrid.  Hazard fired the winning spot-kick on Thursday as Chelsea edged out Eintracht Frankfurt 4-3 on penalties to book an all-English Europa League final against Arsenal, in what could prove his last act at Stamford Bridge. The Belgium forward is still expected to join Real in a big-money move this summer, but his Brazilian teammate Willian continues to hope otherwise. Luka Jovic cancelled out Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s strike to take the semi-final second leg into extra time before penalties had to separate the sides with the aggregate score level at 2-2 and one away goal apiece.  Asked if Hazard’s decisive penalty could prove his last kick at Stamford Bridge, Willian replied: “I don’t know, I don’t think so. “For me I hope he sta

BAD GOVERNANCE NOT AN EXCUSE FOR YAHOO, RUGGEDMAN TELLS YOUTHS

Bad governance not an excuse for yahoo yahoo; Ruggedman tells youths Bad Governance Not An Excuse For YAHOO Ruggedman Tells Youths Popular Nigerian rapper, Ruggedman recently launched an online campaign against internet fraud, popularly known as yahoo yahoo, and he seems to be stopping at nothing to make sure the crime is reduced to the barest minimum, if not totally nipped in the bud. Explaining why internet fraud is gradually becoming an escape route for Nigerian youths, the eloquent rapper noted that bad governance is not an excuse to engage in the now popular crime. “It’s a pity what Nigeria is turning into. The government only wants to hold power so they have access to money without doing anything productive to help the lives of the citizens. No jobs, electricity, good roads, education, healthcare, security.  Tribalism and religion is playing its own role in further destroying our unity as a nation. No credibility, shame, integrity, accountability in so many thin

Nicki Minaj Drops Haunting Visuals For "Hard White" m inaj is on her ''QUEENS'' grind Last August,  Nicki Minaj  dropped  Queen ,  which was her triumphant return to the game. There was a four-year gap between Minaj's last album and her latest one, so her fans were more than excited when  Queen  touched down. Although it's been a half a year since the project touched down, Minaj is still in promo mode. The Queen herself  announced  that she would be dropping a music video for "Hard White" on Thursday night, and lo and behold, it has arrived.  "Hard White" was a fan favorite, and a good selection for Minaj to bless with a music video. Directed by Mike Ho, the visuals for "Hard White" use religious symbolism to paint a haunting backdrop for Minaj. Derranged nuns and chalk white demonic looking beings help hammer home the creepy vibe of the video, but the shots of Minaj sitting in a futuristic throne are the

Cardi B appears in court over strip club brawl Grammy-nominated rapper Cardi B briefly appeared in a New York criminal court on Thursday over her alleged involvement in a strip club brawl. The 26-year-old artist signed the renewal of two protection orders against the alleged victims, which bar her from making remarks on social media that could be deemed threatening to them. Cardi B strolled into the Queens basement courtroom in high spirits, sporting a long poncho-style fur coat with a matching hat, pointy heeled boots, distressed jeans and bold taupe-framed sunglasses. Her long neon yellow-green nails were on display as she clutched her demure black purse, despite the icy weather. The star, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, is due to appear again in court on April 4.

Update: Flu death toll rises in Romania, Health Ministry declares national epidemic The Romanian Health Ministry has decided to declare nationwide flu epidemic after the country registered three consecutive weeks of epidemic nature and the flu death toll increased to 54 since the beginning of this season. Health minister Sorina Pintea made the announcement on Wednesday morning, January 30, according to local  Hotnews.ro . However, she also said that the population should not panic, as this is a “seasonal virus, favored by the cold.” “We can not say at this point that we have a higher number of deaths than last year, but we have a large number of deaths recorded earlier,” Pintea added. She also urged people to respect the Health Ministry’s recommendations. For example, those with flu symptoms should see the family doctor as soon as possible and try to avoid public spaces. The recommendations also include appropriate hand hygiene to reduce the spread of the

Intermittent fasting helps obese women lose weight

Intermittent fasting helps obese women lose weight Obese women may be able to lose more weight and improve their health by fasting intermittently while following a strictly controlled diet, according to new research at the University of Adelaide. The study, published in the journal Obesity, involved a sample of 88 women following carefully controlled diets over 10 weeks. “Continuously restricting their diet is the main way that obese women try to tackle their weight,” says Dr Amy Hutchison, lead author from the University of Adelaide and the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute. “Unfortunately, studies have shown that long-term adherence to a restricted diet is very challenging for people to follow, so this study looked at the impact of intermittent fasting on weight loss. “Obese women who followed a diet in which they ate 70% of their required energy intake and fasted intermittently lost the most weight. “Other women in the stud

Emergency/urgent hospitalizations linked to accelerated cognitive decline in older adults

Emergency/urgent hospitalizations linked to accelerated cognitive decline in older adults Emergency and urgent hospitalizations are associated with an increased rate of cognitive decline in older adults, report researchers at Rush University Medical Center. Results of their study, published in the Jan. 11, 2019, online issue of  Neurology , the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, shows that hospitalization may be a more of a major risk factor for long-term cognitive decline in older adults than previously recognized. "We found that those who have non-elective (emergency or urgent) hospitalizations and who have not previously been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's disease had a  rapid decline  in cognitive function (i.e., thinking abilities) compared to the prehospital rates," said Bryan James, Ph.D., an epidemiologist and in the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center and an assistant professor in the Rush Department of

The bigger your belly, the smaller your brain, study claims

The bigger your belly, the smaller your brain, study claims A new study published by the  American Academy of Neurology  has linked extra belly fat to shrinking in brain volume. Measuring the body mass index (BMI) and the waist-to-hip ratios of its participants, the research found that those with higher ratios of both criteria had the lowest brain volume. About 1000 participants with higher BMI and waist-to-hip ratio were marked with the lowest amount of grey matter in their brains. Gray matter is component of the central nervous system that is responsible for processing information and controls emotion, memory, and intellect, all of which tell on the growth and development of the brain. It is responsible for sensory perception, self-control and muscle movement. “We also found links between obesity and shrinkage in specific regions of the brain,” said Mark Hamer, lead author of the study. “This will need further research but it may be possible that

Global Fund targets $14b to fight AIDS, TB, Malaria globally At least 14 billion dollars is needed to accelerate the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and quell stubborn epidemics that still kill millions, the head of a global health fund said on Friday. Announcing a fundraising target for the next three-year cycle, Peter Sands, Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, said the money could help save 16 million lives, halving deaths from the three diseases. It would also be used to build stronger health systems in poor countries ill-equipped to handle existing outbreaks and unable to cope with potential new epidemics. “New threats mean there is no middle ground. We need to … protect and build on the gains. “We have made, or we will see those achievements eroded, infections and deaths resurge, and the prospect of ending the epidemics disappear.” The Global Fund is a group of governments, civil society and private sector p

Dangote, Adenuga top 2019 Forbes’ list of ‘poorer’ African billionaires For eight years running, Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, maintained his position on Forbes’ new list of African billionaires, but lost nearly $2 billion compared to his net worth last year. Tagged: Fewer Billionaires, Poorer Billionaires On African Continent In 2019, Forbes said the number of African billionaires fell to 20, down from 23 last year, having been buffeted by plunging stock prices and weaker currencies. Overall, the 20 African business tycoons are worth $68.7 billion, down from $75.4 billion last year. However, the average net worth of each member on the list this year grew to $3.4 billion from $3.3 billion in early 2018. The report revealed that Dangote’s estimated $10.3 billion net worth is nearly $2 billion less than a year ago, due to nearly 20 per cent drop in the stock price of Dangote Cement. In 2015, Dangote’s net worth stood at $25 billion, but reduced by about $15 billio
