A new study has claimed that if you have body odour, you can treat it by rubbing the sweat of a more fragrant family member under your armpit and this will help treat your body odour.
The research which was led by Dr Chris Callewart from the University of California, San Diego, found that applying the sweat of another person without body odor, treats body odour by replacing strong-smelling armpit bacteria with some that do not smell as bad, causing your armpits to be tricked into breeding nicer smelling bacteria.
The method of treatment which is called bacteria transplant was tested on two identical twins – one of whom suffered from bad body odour, while the other had little to no smell.
The twin without body odour was told not to bath for four days so as to produce more of his non-smelling sweat while the twin with body odour was told to bath every day using antibacterial soap.
Dr Callewart proceeded to rub the sweat of the twin without body odour on the other twin who has body odour and they found that the twin with body odour became treated of his bad smell and has been odour free for over a year now.
The experiment has been done several times again and the result has been steady so far.
An Instagram user, has shared how she mistakenly sent her rent money, N1m to a cosmetologist and how the said individual has refused to return the money for weeks now.
According to the victim, @chaff2chic_ltd:
“Sometime late last year, I came across a couple mr Ahmad Lawal @egnr_m.I.u and mrs Fatima Tijjani ahmad @mssfancy, in my business place in Calabar, I noticed her nice skin and complemented her and she told me she sells natural cream and soap. I patronized her and asked for her account number. my bill was 16,000 naira.
2 days later, On d 29th of December, I asked my shop agent to send me the account number so i can pay my shop rent and for some reason, a message drops with account number and phone number. Very unlike me, I was careless and mistakenly transfered part of my shop rent (1,000,000) to Mrs Fatima Tijjani Ahmad @mssfancy.
Upon realising what happened, I called to inform them and thankfully, they swiftly acknowledged receiving an alert from me and agreed to transfer it back the following day.
2 days passed n I didn’t call to trouble them because I made the mistake in the first place n at this time the agent n lawyers we’re already on my neck.
Then a week passed and they kept giving stories of a loved one dying and his wife having a miscarriage and kidney infection.. I still waited for them to mourn their loved one While I prayed for her quick recovery.
2 weeks passed and three weeks passed and still nothing. When i tried to reach out to people following her on ig, she suddenly blocked me and every other person that confronted her about it and sends me an epistle of how wealthy they are.
Last year December, one Ms. Uduak Monday, 29, was arrested for allegedly pouring boiled water on Daniel Okon Nse’s face, at about 5:30AM on Thursday, 24th November, 2016, in an attempt to wake him up.
One Emmanuel Agan, who is a neighbour to the accused, noticed the grave injuries on Nse, and immediately reported to Basic Rights Counsel Initiative, a front line child rights organization in Calabar.
The organization immediately documented the case and effected Uduak’s arrest. Nse revealed that he is from Uruan in Akwa Ibom State and his dad is late, but his mother who is a trader (crayfish seller) gave him out to live as house boy to one Madam Ime.
The said Madam Ime is a food vendor and on the fateful day of the incident, he could not wake up on time to wash dishes, when Ime’s eldest daughter, Uduak, woke him up by pouring boiling water on his face. He has since gotten justice and reunited with his mom, thanks to Basic Rights Counsel Initiative.
Fast rising Nollywood teenage actress, Regina Daniels, shared these lovely photos from a photo shoot. She looks cute… More below:
Two 2016 Batch B Stream 2 members of the National Youth Service Corps have lost their lives along the Taraba Benue road as they were returning home from the 21 days orientation camp.
The bus which was reported to be conveying mostly youth corps members from Taraba to Benue state got two corps members killed and the rest injured. The corps members are yet to be identified as at the time of publishing this post.

A painter, Mr. Ese Akpan, had told his family on Tuesday that he was going out to get the money owed him by a construction company.
He, however, did not get to his destination, as he was killed by a stray bullet from a police team escorting a bullion van to a bank.
According to a Closed-Circuit Television camera, which captured the scene, Ese was shot at exactly 1.45pm on Old Aba Road, Rumuomasi, Port-Harcourt, Rivers State.
PUNCH Metro, which obtained footage of the incident, observed that Camera 4 captured Ese as he
walked along the road while the police van came behind.
The second side, captured by Camera 1, showed a woman with a baby standing at the bus stop as Ese approached.
There was a sudden gunshot which hit the 60-year-old, while the frightened woman fled the sight.
About two minutes afterwards, some sympathisers, including workers of First Rivers Hospital Limited, a private facility in front of which the incident occurred, rushed to help the victim.
An official at the hospital, who did not want to be identified, said a few minutes after the victim was taken to the hospital, a man came in to check on him.
He said:
“The man said the escort team was coming from an eatery at Rumukoro where the operatives had gone to pick some money. He said they were heading towards a bank in the area and he was driving behind the van when they fired the shot. He said they usually did that when they approached where they were taking money to. Unfortunately, the man was hit by the bullet. He told us to save his life.”
A senior official at the hospital, who spoke for the management, said efforts by the hospital to save Ese were abortive.
“Our doctors, nurses and matrons were all involved in the battle to save his life. He lost a lot of blood. The bullet destroyed his internal organs. We took him to the theatre, and our workers even donated three pints of blood to save him, but he died. He was able to give us his name and address before passing on,” she added.
She noted that the hospital reported the matter to a police station in the area.
The widow of the victim, Mrs. Christiana Akpan, said when she attempted to report the case at the Area Command, Moscow Road, she was chased out of the command.
She added that when she went to the governor’s office, she was not given any audience.
Christiana told PUNCH Metro that her husband had left the house with a plan to demand payment of a debt owed him by a construction company.
She said,
“He worked as a painter and had executed a project for a construction company last year. He used the money that we saved for our house rent to complete the project. The firm paid him part, but still owed him about N266,900.
“Since that time, he had been going to ask for the balance without any result. Our landlady recently served us a notice to quit and he became desperate to recover the money.
“On Tuesday, January 31, around 1pm, we both left the house and when we got to Mile 1, we parted ways. I went to see a friend, while he went to the company. It was not up to one hour that I was called that my husband had been shot.
“I went to report at the area command, but immediately I said policemen shot my husband, I was chased out. I went to the governor’s office and I was sent away like a thief.”
PUNCH Metro learnt that the deceased, who was survived by four children, had been taken by the family to a mortuary in his hometown in the Essien Udium Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
The family’s first child, Kingsley, demanded that the government bring the culprits to book and pay the damages.
“Before my dad died, he told me that he was shot by the police. The police are silent about the case and have refused to do anything. We want the government to bury him and pay damages,” he added.
Another member of the family, Blessing, asked the authorities not to sweep the case under the carpet.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Omoni Nnamdi, said he was not aware of the incident, promising to get back to PUNCH Metro.

Controversial Ghanaian counselor, George Lutterodt has asked pastors to distribute condoms to the youth in their churches on Valentine’s Day instead of organizing evening programs in an attempt to prevent the congregation from celebrating the day in the manner they want.
It appears the aim of celebrating Valentine’s Day has been shifted from showing love to acts of promiscuity.
The development has led to churches holding programs in the evening to engage congregants series of activities including exchange of gifts, choreography and poetry recital.
But Counselor Lutterodt believes church activities can never prevent the current generation from having sex on Valentine’s Day.
Speaking to GhanaWeb, Counselor Lutterodt said the church should advise members on why to abstain from sex and distribute condoms to those who cannot abstain so they can have safe sex.
“Valentine is meant for some category of people and not everybody. Some churches have got it wrong. They think organising a program on Val’s Day can keep these popcorn boys from doing whatever they want to so. It’s a shame. Because the boys will do whatever they are supposed to do after 10 o’clock. The best is to share condoms for them,” he noted.
Asked if that is not a way of fueling fornication, the Reverend replied in the negative.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow cos of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she’s gone, Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, Be empty and turn your back.Or you can do what SUSAN ADEBIMPE “GOLDIE” HARVEY would have wanted;
Smile, Open your eyes, Love and Go on!4 Years and it still feels like yesterday. Keep resting in the bosom of the Lord.
LOVE YOU GOLDIE.”

Minister for Power, Babatunde Fashola, who was the guest speaker at the 12th Monthly Power Sector and Stakeholders’ Meeting in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital revealed that like normal Nigerian citizen, he will resist paying his electricty bills over poor services.
According to him,
“The 3,500MW to 3,800MW that we have been able to keep on the grid over the last few months will be assisted greatly if we can have the gas pipelines back and add 3,000MW to it. That means we will be able to deliver well over 6,000MW if the gas pipelines are safe.
“Consumers are more resistant to payment when they don’t have electricity, and I will be, too, and you will be too.
“We see that they [consumers] pay more when the power is more stable. Of course, there are issues also at the retail end – metering, estimated bills” he said.
The Minister also stressed that consumers can also help improve power services in the country by saying NO to criminal actvities.
“You will see that government has begun to act. The Vice President, representing the President, is going round those Niger Delta communities, engaging them more openly, more robustly.
“The idea is to bring them to the table to stop the vandalism while the issues that agitate them can be treated and resolved. I believe that if we are successful as we expect to be, we should be able to, sometimes, this year recover all the 3,000MW that has been lost to gas pipeline outages.”

A 70-year-old woman, identified simply as Mrs. Egunjobi, a London returnee, has allegedly been raped to death by a 33-year-old Dare Garuba, New Telegraph reports.
The incident occurred in Egunjobi’s shop at Mowe in Ofada-Mokolokin Local Council Development Area of Ogun State. Witnesses yesterday said that the woman had taken two bottles of Alomo gin and became intoxicated.
When she started misbehaving, the suspect reportedly offered to lead her home so that she would not be injured.
However, when Garuba led Egunjobi into her shop, he decided to take advantage of her. The incident, which occurred about 11p.m. on Sunday, forced some of the traders in the area to shut down their shops yesterday when the news of her death filtered into town.
It was learnt that the suspect was the only one who approached Egunjobi and called the attention of some of the residents to the woman.
The Coordinator of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) in the area, Mr. Bamidele Ayeyemi, said they were outside about 11p.m. when a Hausa man, who went to defecate in a nearby bush close to the woman’s shop, discovered that her shop opened. According to Ayeyemi, the man raised the alarm, thinking that armed robbers had broken into the shop.
He said:
“Some of my boys and I, immediately we heard the man shouting thief, thief, we called for reinforcement and went round the market.
Unfortunately, when we moved closed to the woman’s shop, the suspect opened the door and bolted. “When the suspect was trying to escape from the scene, one of us was able to identify him as Dare. That was how we started searching for him in the community.”
The body inside the shop Gov. Umahi Another resident, who identified himself simply as Balogun, said after the remains of the woman had been taken care of; they went to report the incident to the head of the community and policemen at Mowe Division.
He said: “What surprised us was that it was the same suspect who promised to take care of the woman so as not to sustain injuries that later took advantage of her.
We searched the community for about four hours before we finally apprehended him in the ceiling of an uncompleted building where he was hiding.
We then handed him over to the police for appropriate action.”
It was learnt that Garuba was still making love to the woman without knowing that she had died.
The Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Mowe Police Division, was said to be at the scene of the incident with the woman’s husband. But the widower refused to comment on his wife’s death.
Garuba’s mother, Mrs. Jumoke Musa, said she was fed up with the attitude of her son. She said: “I have done everything to prevent him from becoming a hoodlum. I left him with his father’s family after his father’s death because I have remarried and I did not want to endure his way of life.
“Even while staying with me in my present place, I have bailed him countless times for different offences he has committed in the community.”
The victim’s body was in her shop, covered with a piece of cloth yesterday.

He said ‘Baby pray for me, I’ve just been robbed by robbers in Warri, and all my gadgets and money have been taken away from me, threatening to kill me also. I’m stranded and the event I’m supposed to attend here, I can’t make it anymore, no contact to communicate with anyone for direction, except yours.’
