The FG is considering a birth control policy where the number of children per woman is to be pegged at two to check the prevalent poverty and unemployment in the country.

Minister of Finance, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed, who disclosed this, yesterday, noted that the move was in realisation of the dangers posed by uncontrolled population growth.

She said government was consulting religious and traditional leaders nationwide on the issue after which a policy would be formulated.

“We must find out ways to engage our youths to be active and ensure that transportation is effective, available and reasonably priced,” the minister stated.

A beautician left paralysed when she was ‘catapulted’ from a super-king bed was having sex with a married millionaire at the time of the trauma accident.

Claire Busby, 46, is suing bedmakers Beds Are Uzzz for £1 million at the High Court in London after claiming the company’s defective product was to blame for her injuries.

The court heard she was performing a sex act on married lover John Marshall, 55, in her Surrey home at the time of the incident.

Mail Online reports Mr Marshall had been married to wife Sue, 48, for almost 20 years.

The couple, from Alloa, Scotland, had officially split just a few days before Mr Marshall’s ill-fated romp in August 2013.

Friends said the businessman’s family was left heartbroken when news of their relationship and Ms Busby’s injuries emerged.

One pal told Mail Online Mr Jackson left the family home to move to England and become Ms Busby’s carer but apparently returned three weeks later.He is now living with his third wife at a converted farmhouse near Stirling.

The friend said:

“It wasn’t only Claire Busby’s life that was ruined that day, the fall-out from that incident devastated a family.

“When Claire fell off the bed and broke her back John said he was moving down to Surrey to look after her, which left Sue very upset.”

When approached to respond to the claims, Mr Marshall said:

“When that incident happened we were separated, I was not with Susan at the time and I want to make that very clear. Susan and I separated in May and the incident happened in August.

“All this is dragging things up unnecessarily, my life is bad enough and so is Claire’s.”

On the accident,Mr Marhsall said:

“I recall that we had been making love and that Claire was on top of me, facing me.

“She sat up and rose off me, intending to sit back on her bottom, when she seemed to just roll of the bed.”I was expecting her to get up and, when she didn’t, I laughed and said ‘get up’. But she said that she had hurt herself.

“When I got up to look over the end of the bed, she was lying on her side with her arm underneath her.

“She said that she could not feel her arms and legs. I thought she was joking and laughed. She told me again that she had hurt herself and to call an ambulance.”

The 46-year-old claims the super-king was missing two feet, or “gliders” when delivered to her home, creating a hazardous “slope”.

But the company is denying all liability, insisting that the bed was properly assembled, complete with gliders, when supplied to her.

Former President of the United States, Barack Obama has declared that his wife will in no way run for presidency, quashing rumours of a possible 2020 bid.

Two weeks before the midterm elections kick off, Obama was back on the campaign trail, speaking in Nevada, and urging a rally of supporters to vote.

He said while his wife was not interested in the top job, “she is out there telling you to vote because the antidote to government by the powerful few is government by the organized, energized many”.

While one midterm election “would not fix everything”, Obama said it would be a start.

“One election isn’t going to eliminate poverty in America, but it will give more policies that help poor people.”

Rumours have circulated about a possible run from the former first lady since the day Donald Trump took office.

The hashtag #Michelle2020 even trended on Twitter, with a big push beginning after she gave a knock-out speech at the Democratic Convention in July 2016.

Michelle denied any ambitions for the presidency recently, saying at a Simmons Leadership Conference that she didn’t want the job.

She said basing a person’s political ability on their ability to give a good speech was “problematic”.

Speaking in Nevada, Barack Obama also took aim at Trump’s talk of “economic miracles”.

He said: “Remember who started it.”

“I hope people realise there’s a pattern that every time [Republicans] run things into the ground and we’ve got to clean it up.”

It was gathered that the woman was nabbed picking used children pampers and women sanitary pads along the road.

According to Henry Chidon, a Facebook user from Enugu state who shared the report, the woman had been living in their street for many years as the residents thought she’s really mad and didn’t know what she was doing until she was seen picking the awkward items on Sunday night.

When she was caught, the woman begged for her life as she made some shocking confessions while being interrogated by the residents.

In a trending video posted online, the woman confessed that she picks the used pampers and sanitary pads which she sells to an unknown group of men.

She said when ever they come with their vehicle, she loads the bag of items she has already picked in their booth before she is paid.

She also confessed that she has given the unidentified men many bags of the used items during the course of the business.
