When is she going to settle down?
This question keeps popping up especially for women in their 30's, no matter how successful they are in their chosen fields.Do women honestly need men before
they are 'settled'? Is their a curse attached to being single? The reality is that their are many single women living happy lives and making great impact in their world!
Can we say these women are not 'settled'?

When is she going to settle down? Haba, is she garri soaked inside water? Do women honestly need men before they are 'settled'? So any woman that isn't married is under a spell and will never be settled?smh

Despite the fact that regular soap works well, families still scramble to purchase antibacterial soap. Here’s why you should avoid it.
Parents have always scrambled to buy antibacterial soap in the hopes of stemming the tide of illness that frequently travels through the family. This, despite the fact that plain, regular soap works just fine.

The main ingredient in antibacterial soap—triclosan (and the related triclocarban)—recently came under fire from environmental groups, researchers and government agencies. It’s been discovered that the compounds in triclosan and triclocarban led to developmental and reproductive problems in the animal test subjects—and could potentially do the same to humans, as well.

In the most recent study, the compound was found in the urine of all the pregnant women tested, as well as in approximately half of the umbilical cord samples. According to Science Daily, triclosan is being transferred to the fetuses, too. Antibacterial soap may also increase the risk of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Here’s the thing: you don’t need antibacterial soap. Independent studies have shown that washing with regular soap is just as effective as washing with antibacterial soap. Even the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states such products are, at best, ineffective, and, at worst, harmful. So, what is an anxious parent to do in the face of all the germs waiting to latch onto our immune systems? One solution is to allow a little dirt into your home—studies have shown exposure to germs can help with allergies and boost the immune system. Most importantly, wash your hands thoroughly. Ensure that everyone washes their fingertips and in-between their fingers.

It’s not just about our kids—the environment may be at risk, too. According to the Canadian Environmental Law Association, the chemicals have been pooling in the Great Lakes and the group has asked the Canadian government to ban the compounds. The chemicals are in more than 2000 products, including mattresses, cutting boards and yoga mats. The American FDA is considering limiting the chemicals; the agency is now asking manufacturers to prove that the antibacterial products are more effective than plain soap and water. Companies such as Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson announced that they will start phasing out the chemicals in some products (which still may take years).

Beat them to it, parents! Start phasing antibacterial lotions out of your home now.

All the channels are back for me. Not so sure its as a result of the mail and phone calls I made..

I've been experiencing thesame problem since last week. I've called their customer care centre twice and they confirmed that they have a technical problem which they are trying to resolve. This is the text message I got from them yesterday. "Dear valued GOgetter, we are currently experiencing some interference with our broadcast transmissions in Lagos, resulting in the loss of signals on some of our channels. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Our technical team is working tirelessly to resolve the issues at the shortest possible time. GOtv'.
My opinion- I think they may be increasing their tarriff soon and all the channels will be available at a higher cost. I hope we will be compensated for this lapse.

A report by The Economist magazine has revealed that Nigerian federal legislators with a basic salary of $189,500 per annum (N30.6m) are the highest paid lawmakers in the world.
Quoting data from the International Monetary Fund and The Economist magazine of London, the study looked at the lawmakers’ basic salary as a ratio of the Gross Domestic Product per person across countries of the world.
According to the report, the basic salary (which excludes allowances) of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the country’s GDP per person of $1,600.
The $189,500 earned annually by each Nigerian legislator is estimated to be 52 per cent higher than what Kenya legislators, who are the second highest paid lawmakers, earned.
The National Assembly has, however, rejected the report that its members are the highest paid lawmakers in the world.
While reacting to the report published in The Economist magazine on Monday, the spokespersons of the two chambers of the National Assembly described it as grossly exaggerated.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Information and Media, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, said the report was misleading and incorrect.
He said it was easy for anyone to verify what Nigerian lawmakers earned given that such information could be obtained from the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission.
Abaribe said, “My reaction is that the report is incorrect. It is very easy for anybody to know what we earn by going to the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission.
“The report is not correct because it did not emanate from the RMAFC, because that is the only body that determines what a lawmaker earns.”
In the same vein, the spokesman of the House of Representatives, Mr. Zakari Mohammed, dismissed the report as incorrect.
He said, “Whatever is being written is mere exaggeration and does not reflect what is accurate. They fail to realise that what we take as salaries are different from what we use in running our offices.
“These are two different issues. Most times, people just lump everything together and claim that it is our monthly salary; that is not correct. At the appropriate time, we shall react, because it is not just about the House but the National Assembly. The National Assembly will react at the right time.”
The report had suggested that a Nigerian federal lawmaker earned $189,000 or about N30m annually.
The magazine also published details of the annual salaries of legislators in other countries, some of which include Ghana, $46,500; Indonesia, $65,800; Thailand, $43,800; India, $11,200; Italy, $182,000;  Bangladesh, N4,000; Israel, $114,800; Hong Kong, $130,000; Japan, $149,700; and Singapore, $154,000. – Punch
