In line with the quite devastating report by the World Health Organization which says that the consumption of red meat, sausages, ham, and hot dogs could cause bowel cancerr, the Organization have now however stressed out on Thursday, that they were merely urging people “to moderate consumption of preserved meat to reduce the risk of cancer.”.
In a new statement, WHO says:
“The latest IARC review does not ask people to stop eating processed meats, but indicates that reducing consumption of these products can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.“Early next year they will meet to begin looking at the public-health implications of the latest science and the place of processed meat and red meat within the context of an overall healthy diet,” WHO said
High ranked talk show host, Oprah Winfrey has voiced out after she was “ambushed” by a man claiming to be her “secret son”. She was ambushed by the individual outside the Late Show in New York earlier this month.
The startled American star could be seen in an awkward encounter with a Calvin Mitchell, who claimed to have been raised by the presenter before they became estranged 20 years ago.
Setting the record straight after the pictures surfaced online, she told Entertainment Tonight: “
“I met Calvin around the early ‘90s, I think it was 1992.I was doing a film for television called There Are No Children Here. We were shooting in the projects in Chicago and I was sitting on set during a break, and this cute little sparkly-eyed boy came underneath the yellow tape to hand me a soda.
Oprah admitted she was so “charmed” by him that she engaged in conversation with him and discovered his mum didn’t have a job and they lived in the projects.
She added that she and partner Stedman Graham decided to take him under their wing and paid for him to go to a local private school while also finding a job for his mother.
He was later expelled and Oprah decided to send him to a private boarding school in Mississippi which she thought would be better for him, but at 16 he left after claiming “the teachers didn’t like him“.
“I said, ‘Calvin, this is the moment. This is a seminal moment for you. I know you are 16 and can’t see the road ahead, but if you leave this school and refuse to get an education – I have tried to offer you an education twice – there isn’t another school I can put you in. If you leave this school, I am done. There is nothing else I can do.’ And that was my last conversation with Calvin in the early ’90s.”
When he approached her earlier this month the 62-year-old says she didn’t instantly recognise him but tried to contact him after the run-in.
But when she found out it was a set up, reportedly masterminded by the National Enquirer, she no longer wanted to speak to him, saying she was “disappointed“.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but it was the only way to get in touch with you,” Mitchell reportedly told the star outside the studio, referring to a recent interview where he discussed their relationship

Hey Panshak honey @iceprincezamani
It is 9:01AM and I am standing undraped in the shower, a part of my brain processing how my Friday is gonna go, the other part just simply hating the fact that I have no hot water.
You see, Months ago I was working out in my room when I heard the loudest bang I ever heard in my life! Frankie shrieked and began to bark hysterically and when I got out to see what had happened, I found my bathroom door ajar, my water heater smashed in several plastic pieces on the floor in the bathroom.
I remember thinking “What the hell?? How the fvck did this shit come lose off the wall?
What if I was in there, all 5Ft7 of me trying to have a shower, my breasts a couple mounds protruding from my chest and the water heater smashing through my skull. The thought of it made me wince.
Well I just haven’t bothered to replace it since then. I have had a cold shower everyday for several months now and never really cared. It didn’t matter. Hot or cold. I usually have always prefered cold showers though.
Several mornings in Boarding school, I stood tall and scrawnily thin in the cold dark early mornings, doing rub and shine with two bowls of ice cold water. Water that I mostly had to tap from under everyone’s bunks in the middle of the night. I guess you could say I been baffing cold long time. I am used to this shit!
But today is different. It is your Birthday Ice, and I’d hate to be baffing ice water on your birthday! All this chilling might suck the life outta me.
I want hot water.
Just this morning.
I don’t know where you are or what you are doing Ice honey. But it is your birthday. Don’t baff ice water like I am about to do now.
Oh Lord! I just turned on the shower and as the coolness of the water hits my skin, I am reminded of things. Things eh!! Life is made up of things.
It is even better when it is made up of Memories.
As you celebrate today Panshak… think only of the most beautiful and the best memories.
Let Gratitude consume your soul and let there be an outpouring of thanks from your heart.
Today, do not baff cold water like I am about to do now.
Smile honey.
Happy Birthday.
Love. ��
Let me let y’all in on a secret, it’s hard to tell if one of our authors though, would actually choose the woman over the game. It’s hard for me to tell… He’s so very much in love with women and at the same time, Video games, GTA V in particular, just like this dude in my article.
A gorgeous looking lady dumped her boyfriend after he choose his game (GTA V) over her.
Sending him raunchy images and all, she was trying to seduce him so he’d submit and head over to her place but this brother was too busy playing GTA V.
She had put on a hot Catwoman outfit for Halloween and she was definitely trying to spice up the Halloween weekend but this dude just won’t let go of his GTA V.
When he replied with a photo of his game pad and all her attempts to spark up a romantic conversation were rebuffed by him, she dumped him.
See photos below:
Guys, choose… GTA V vs your Woman ?!
For the record, that author I spoke of has finished the GTA V though, yeah! He’s a bad gamer like that!
Though I think the lady’s contours were way over the top but the guy killed it… Slayed it like a trained assassin! Lol.
So foreigners, most especially Americans are preparing here and there for the Halloween holiday taking place during the weekend and this couple decided their costume would be that of super couples, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
They finished the look… Seriously… the only flaw if the woman.
Four fake soldiers have reportedly been arrested at the Idi-Araba, Agege and Mile 2 areas of Lagos state by Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni.
The Nation reports that the crime suspects apprehended are John Izunwanne, 25, John Otu, 23, Richard Acha, 22, and Simon Anthony, 39.
Materials recovered from them included: two pairs of the Nigerian Army camouflage uniform; a pair of Army uniform, Army camouflage T-shirt, a pair of boots, two Army belts and two jungle hats.
Anthony told reporters that he was dismissed from service as a corporal for falling out from duty.
“I was dismissed in January 2014 for falling out from duty. I am from Adamawa state. I wanted to use the uniform to travel to Lagos because I had no transport money. But unfortunately, I was arrested by soldiers,” he said.
Acha, a welder from Benue State, said he found the camouflage T-shirt inside the bag his brother gave him at Ikeja cantonment said
“I wore it. I was arrested for wearing the army T-shirt,” he said.
Izunwanne said he bought the uniform at Ojo Cantonment on September 2. He said:
“I wanted to go and sign my army recruitment form at Ojo Barracks when I bought the uniform at the Mammy Market. However, on October 7, my friend had a court case and I was to appear in court as a witness. The court was in Agege and I did not have the transport fare to go, so, I decided to wear my uniform to save me the cost of transportation.”
Otu, a member of the Citizen for Peace and First Aid Missions in Nigeria, said he heard his friends were arrested and went to the police to secure their bail, only to be arrested for wearing the uniform.

Actor and model Sam Sarpong, known for co-hosting MTV’s “Yo Momma” with Wilmer Valderrama, died Monday, his rep confirmed. He was 40.
Sarpong died after jumping off a bridge in Pasadena, Calif., according to E! News. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner has ruled his death a suicide, with an autopsy pending.
“It is with great sadness that the family of Samuel Sarpong, Jr. must share the news that Sam has passed away,” said his publicist in a statement.
“The circumstances surrounding his death are currently under investigation and no additional details are known at this time. Information about final arrangements will be forthcoming. The family appreciates the thoughts prayers and other expressions of sympathy, and request their privacy be respected at this extremely difficult time.”
“Sarpong had a pure heart and always went out of his way to help others,” his rep, J.D. Sobol, told Variety. “We will all miss him dearly.”
The British-American star was born in London and moved to Los Angeles with his father when he was 11. He would go on to book modeling work, including being the face of Tommy Hilfiger for six years, as well as walking runways for Versace, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Donna Karen.
Sarpong’s first onscreen role came in an episode of Claire Danes’ “My So-Called Life” in 1994. His big TV break, however, came in 2006 when MTV cast him as one of its co-hosts for “Yo Momma.”
Sarpong and Valderrama traveled across the country for three seasons to find the best trash talkers. After the show ended in 2007, Sarpong hosted BET pre-awards show “All Access.”
His other TV credits include “Pacific Blue”, “Family Matters”, “ER”, “Boston Public”, “Everybody Hates Chris”, “Veronica Mars”, “Bones” and “24.” He also had a role in FX’s heavily buzzed “American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson,” which is set to debut next year.
He appeared in films “Carmen: The Hip Hopera”, “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” and “Anchor Baby.”
Sarpong is survived by his father, Samuel Sarpong Sr., and his sister, June.

Stunning songstress/Entrepreneur, Dencia who recently was in Nigeria shared her experience with two roadside vendors she had an encounter with in Abuja.
“Some People Just want & or Need someone to Standup For Them. Story might be long & boring but I really wanna share.A few days ago we were riding down Maitama (Abuja)& saw a beautiful lady in her late 20’s selling boiled groundnuts/peanuts,we stopped & she came over 2 my side of the Car, How much I asked, (3Cups 4 100 naira) I said ok let’s have 3,my friend goes No its 4 Cups & I tell her no she said 3,let’s take 3 cups,do u go to LV,Hermes,Chanel & argue prices of the things u buy.
The girl was smiling & her face completely changed & she said ( If you were the president poor people won’t be suffering, I told her she wasn’t poor )she was extremely happy,I watched her walk away smiling just because someone stood up for her.It wasn’t about the money she said it’s just the fact that someone like me (she said) stood up 4 someone like her.I was extremely touched by her kind words & she made my day.
The same incident Happened two days later with a lady selling Guava,pretty girl with piercing blue eyes,my friend still wanted to argue prices & I said No,the girl said the same thing & thanked me that no one has ever said or done something so nice to her.Moral of the story,if we stop trying to bargain everything with people who need the money the most,trust me we will have more entrepreneurs growing faster.When you see a young beautiful girl walking over 20+ miles selling peanuts,the least you can do is support her hard work.It’s not easy but simple acts of kindness & standing up for people go a long way.I’ll never forget the smile on their faces.

Often times we see ladies who people love to label as ‘man-magnets’. These women are constantly chased and asked on numerous dates by men while some women find it hard to keep one man after a date.
These ‘man-magnets’ are quite attractive but their confidence and self-esteem makes them more beautiful than ever to men.
Wondering the secret behind their charm? It’s accepting all men for who they are, loving them on your terms makes them more attracted to you.
Inspired by YourTango, here are 4 ways to make men more attracted to you:
1. Keeping an open mind about the men you go on dates with. You don’t have to treat a guy shabbily because he has little money or doesn’t take you to the most expensive restaurant to eat.
Appreciate his honesty and intelligence, find his uniqueness. It doesn’t mean you’ll marry or date him, just make him feel good.
2. Desist from trying to win a man’s approval or acceptance. Don’t panic about the way you look, or would speak. Just focus on enjoying yourself on your date.
