A Clinical Microbiologist, Dr Tony Mbume, has advised women to stop wearing tight jeans, synthetic panties and leggings, to prevent vaginal infections. According to him, most Nigerian females wear these synthetic pants, leggings and tight jeans in the name of fashion, without considering the health implications. Mbume, who works with CIAGIN Medical Laboratory, Oke-Afa, Isolo, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that synthetic wears caused the vagina to ‘overheat’, which could disrupt its ecosystem. He said that under wears made of latex, nylon or polyester and synthetic materials could trap moisture and warmth, making the vagina vulnerable to different types of infection “Synthetic panties can cause the vagina area to overheat and this can sometimes cause burning sores, itching or irritate the sensitive skin, as well as causing blisters. “The friction caused by walking in tight pants and jeans can irritate the skin, resulting in the formation of blisters,’’ he said. ...

Song Recommendation YOU  ARE SICK … If you are reading this line it means you  understand “ that nobody ever die of insort”   and you didn’t close the brief in anger. I would explain the very insulting opening paragraph with total faith that you would have been cured of your ailment when you are done reading this brief ( yet another insort ) but first, let me tell you about my week I work with a company where nobody gives a flying donkey how many years of experience you have. They’d give you projects that require a decent number of years of experience & expertise and budgets to the tune of millions of Naira and then you are required to build castles in the sky. When you complain that it ( building a castle in the sky)  isn’t realistic they’d tell you and prove to you that it has been done before ( Stay with me I am getting somewhere) . A nice way to describe my first project is -It failed. All the millions of Naira invested entered the bush. I was told to r...

Serena Williams has said she is a victim of "discrimination" as she is the most drug tested American tennis player.   The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion made the claim in a series of tweets on Tuesday, after doping officials visited her.  Serena had previously expressed frustration about the volume of her tests earlier this month.  "Out of all the players it's been proven I'm the one getting tested the most. Discrimination? I think so,"  she said.
