What Happened To Iron Woman?

NIGERIA: Former Iron woman of National Agency for Food, Drug Administration Agency, who also served as Information Minister and who was a failed senatorial candidate in her native Anambra state; Professor Dora Akunyili caused a stir when she appeared at the National Judicial Institute venue of the on going national conference in Abuja on Monday looking very pale, emaciated and almost ghoulish.

Delegates and acquaintance didn't recognise her until she introduced herself to them.

The pictures of her at the Confab generated talks on social media platform as to what kind of ailment made her looking a far cry of herself and some are of the opinion she ought to have put on some weight before making public appearances.

My guess is that the former NAFDAC must have heard or read the talks on her current emaciated look on media sites and she has replied with a post on her Facebook page:

“I just came out of a major sickness, for which I thank Almighty God for delivering me. I know that God did that for a purpose.

“I am well now but only need time to put on more weight. However, I am strong enough for this Conference and I look forward to collaborating with other delegates to chart the way for a better Nigeria,” See more pics after the cut..

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called Eurycoma Longifolia or Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will...

Justice And The Killer Cop

NOT surprisingly, and for good reasons too, security agencies, in particular the Nigeria Police, have been placed on the spot by local and international human rights communities for their highhandedness in dealing with suspects in custody or at points of arrest. Quite a number of extra-judicial killings and tortures in these circumstances have been highlighted by the local media too. Against this background, the judgment of the Bayelsa State High Court, Nembe Division, sitting in Yenagoa, delivered by Justice Lucky Boufili sending killer policeman, Matthew Egheghe, to the gallows is most welcome. It is a bold statement that the law frowns at cruelty by uniformed officers of the state and that an appropriate premium is placed on life by the Nigerian state. That judgment would not bring back the dead, but it should to some extent console their grieving families that justice was served to the guilty. It would equally serve as a deterrent to trigger-h...
