Image

They said they wanted to use it to prepare concoction for a pregnant woman in labour . “Sunday brought the human head and I paid him N15,000 for it.

Rules of attraction: What REALLY makes men and women fancy each other?

Image
Singer Chris De Burgh was right, a woman in red really is more attractive to men. But you might be surprised what other secrets govern sexual attraction Gimme some: Rocker Jimi, singer Katherine and brand Beckham It's the colour of danger – but scientists have discovered that red can also be a strangely powerful signal of  passion and primal attraction. And it turns out that singer Chris De Burgh got it spot on – ladies in red really are more desirable. The study in scarlet, by psychologists at Wuhan University, China, found it not only boosts a woman’s sex appeal – it also makes her appear warmer and more confident. Girls also find men in red attractive, but to a lesser extent as the colour can also have connotations of aggression. Researcher Dr Fangfang Wen, says: “Red has been associated with romance, passion, lust and fertility across nearly every civilisation.”

Liverpool line up Samuel Eto'o on one-year deal... as Mario Balotelli back-up plan

Image
The Cameroonian veteran has already taken a medical for the Reds, but may not be needed if the Reds tie up a deal for Balotelli Stu Forster Plan B: Eto'o could join the Reds should Balotelli fail to arrive Brendan Rodgers has lined up an amazing deal to sign Samuel Eto'o - in case the Mario Balotelli deal falls through. Former Chelsea striker  Eto'o, 33, underwent a medical in Paris on Friday and is hoping to fly to Liverpool this weekend to complete the move But Mirror Sport can reveal that Liverpool have taken the extraordinary step of putting Eto'o through a medical because of lingering doubts about bad boy Balotelli. Kop boss  Rodgers wants to talk face-to-face with Balotelli before completing the £16m deal and that is why Eto'o has been put on standby. Rodgers could end up signing both strikers but it is more likely that only one will move to Anfield and the Eto'o back-up plan is a highly unusual step.

I owe no apology for working for President Jonathan-Reuben Abati

Image
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati,had an in depth interview with the Nigerian Tribune where he addressed his very vital role in the government, and criticisms by former colleagues that he changed as soon as he became part of the GEJ administration . How challenging has it been for you managing the presidents media affairs? I am not complaining. I mean, every work has its own challenges. There is no work anybody would be engaged in and there would not be challenges. That, certainly, is not an issue. But if I may make effort to answer your question, I think one key observation in terms of what I have experienced on the job is the fact that you have to keep explaining things to people. You have to keep reiterating issues all the time. You cant put out a statement or explain an issue and assume that people already have accepted your position or that they understand or that your message has been communicated. So, this is a major challenge.

Image
The news that the airport in Enugu would be upgraded to international status was met with joy by residents and indigenes of the state. However, it seems that their joy was short-lived. Recent pictures of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport have flooded social media and they are not pleasant to see. A Medview plane can be seen parked on a flooded runway while unfortunate passengers pile out of a plane and practically swim to the arrival lounge. The relatively new airport was commissioned by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in May 2013.
