I used to have this skin issue in my late teens and early twenties, the itch is something else. It is called "ègbèsì" in Yoruba. I used to rub palm oil whenever it started. Funnily enough, it just disappeared on it's own. I don't even remember when it stopped.

PulaPower:
It looks like what Yoruba do call *Lapalapa*

Try to meet with those women selling local things and show them, dem go give you soap..

It is not 'lapalapa'. This is called 'ègbèsì'.

Because cemeteries are a colonial concept. African s bury their dead on their land that’s why children are traditionally allocated land.

You are very much on point!

The US has deported what it described as five "criminal illegal aliens" to the southern African kingdom of Eswatini.
On board the flight were five deportees from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba and Yemen who have been convicted of crimes ranging from child rape to murder, US Homeland Security Department Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in an online post.
"This flight took individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back," McLaughlin wrote on X.
Eswatini, the last absolute monarchy in Africa, said it acknowledged "widespread concern" within the country regarding the deportations.
"Five inmates are currently housed in our correctional facilities in isolated units, where similar offenders are kept. The nation is assured that these inmates pose no threat to the country or its citizens," government spokesperson Thabile Mdluli said in a statement.
Eswatini and the US will work with the United Nation's immigration agency to "facilitate the transit" of the deportees to their country of origin, Mdluli added.
Earlier this month, the US sent eight migrants from several countries to South Sudan after a court lifted restrictions on sending people to countries where they have no ties.
In a series of posts on the X social media platform, McLaughlin listed the crimes the five deported to Eswatini had been convicted of, describing them as "depraved monsters" who had been "terrorizing American communities".
"A safe third country deportation flight to Eswatini in Southern Africa has landed," she said, adding: "They are off of American soil".Previously known as Swaziland, Eswatini is a small, landlocked country that is surrounded by South Africa and Mozambique. It has been led by King Mswati III since 1986.
Last month, the US Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to resume deporting migrants to countries other than their own.
Rwanda has confirmed discussions have taken place, while Benin, Angola, Equatorial Guinea and Moldova have also been named in media reports as potential recipient countries.
Trump's administration has already deported people to El Salvador and Costa Rica.
South Sudan recently agreed to hold eight men deported from the US and said they were not in handcuffs and appeared to be in good condition.
The war-torn country said the deportees were kept in a civilian facility in the capital Juba, under the watch of police and the national security service. Only one of them is from South Sudan.
In April, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked all visas for South Sudanese passport holders blaming the country for failing to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a "timely manner".
It is not clear if that has now changed.
Last week, Nigeria said it would not bow to pressure from the Trump administration to accept Venezuelan deportees or third-country prisoners from the US.
President Donald Trump's pledge to conduct mass deportations was a centrepiece of his election campaign and an issue on which he drew widespread support, including many Hispanic voters.
He said he wanted to deport people living in the US illegally but White House efforts have been much broader in scope - taking aim at people in the US on student visas, suspending admissions of refugees except white South Africans, and moving to revoke temporary work permits and other protections that had been granted to immigrants by previous presidents.
To crack down on immigrants, Trump's administration has resumed raids at workplaces, a tactic that had been suspended under his predecessor, Joe Biden.

This is good News! No be everyone supposed become parents. 🤔

Did you actually read the article or you simply jump into this conclusion by the headline?

DeLaRue:
Yorubas are not Olukunmi because 'that's what they call them in Delta'.

As a word, Olukunmi has been part of the Yoruba lexicon from time immemorial.

It means My Friend.

In places like Owo, and I think may be Okitipupa, in Ondo State and a few other places, till today, you refer to your friend as Olukunmi. People from these places don't instinctively use 'ore' as those from Oyo, Lagos, Ekiti etc do.

It is no coincidence that the Itshekiri and the Olukumi's migration from Yoruba land originated from or passed through Owo.

Just the same way the Hausas' are called aboki

The focus is on his deeds, not really the way he died. And how dare you compare Christ to a mere mortal who was reported by his own daughter to be an occultist? Be careful with your comparisons next time please.

How dare you judge a man you don't even know based on the assertion of a bitter child. Hands up, I don't know him either, neither do I know Kemi, but what I deduce from her statement is that she's bitter that her father married another woman. That, in my opinion is the genesis of the problem.

AntiTerrorist:
He had the fame and the money but lost his family. That's his own price to the gods of politics. We don't hear the secret from others like him.

No he didn't. He may have lost Kemi, but he was surrounded by family 'till the last. His second wife and her three children were with him until he took his last breath.

wazobeer:
She shared a similar story years ago... The man who was once governor died like an ordinary man. At the end of the day, what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? Such is the case of the politicians and cultists in our society today.

Many people are still toeing the same path till now, looking for wealth and power through occultism and fetish practices, but after a few years of having the money, with no grace in their lives, they end up sad and destroy their families.

I don't understand, how was he supposed to die. The man lived to a ripe old age for crying out loud! I am not saying that what he did was right (I don't even know if he did anything at all), but saying that he 'died like an ordinary man' .......
Even Christ died like a criminal despite never having a sin to his name.

Good day to everyone in the house. Please,is there a way to reverse or slow down someone going grey? I asked because in the last two years, my hair has been rapidly greying.
Early 2022, my hair was still jet black, but today, a significant amount of my hair has turned grey and I'm just 43. Please what can I do to remedy the situation?

Corruption of the highest order. Come to think of it why will the nnpc allow dangote to sell diesel to independent marketers directly and refuse selling of petrol to them directly? Something is cooking

There's absolutely nothing cooking! The fact is simply that the government is still subsidizing PMS. Dangote refinery is a profit making organization, not a charity,so they'll definitely be selling their products at the international market rate. According to sources, the landing cost of PMS hovers around #1200 per litre,if we deduct the cost of transportation, the duties to be paid and the rest,it can't be less than #1000 a litre, hence the NNPCL buying from Dangote and subsidizing the shortfall.

So where is that "GENDER EQUALITY" that I keep hearing about?

1983 hardship was caused by the same buhari you, Apc and tinupoo packaged for Nigeria in 2015 and voted him again in 2019.

People like mannabbqgrillz, seunmsg, omoawoke, freestuffng, Madridguy and host of other urchinnns defended for 8 wasted years

A simple search on Google should tell you that Buhari took over power in December 1983, so he couldn't have caused the said "hardship" on the 30th of November 1983.
As a matter of fact, the military used the said hardship as an excuse to overthrow the Shagari led civilian government. Gosh!,we need to reintroduce the study of history in our schools.

Algeria's Imane Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting have been cleared to compete at the Paris Olympics despite being disqualified from last year's World Championships after they were said to have failed gender eligibility tests.
Khelif, 25, is through to the quarter-finals of the women's 66kg category after beating Italy's Angela Carini, while Lin reached the last eight of the women's 57kg category with victory over Uzbekistan's Sitora Turdibekova.
Their participation in the Games has proved controversial given their disqualifications in 2023.
Khelif's bout, which was abandoned after 46 seconds by Carini, has led to some criticising the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for allowing the entry of a boxer who had previously been said to have failed to meet gender eligibility criteria.
Italian Carini said she ended the fight to "preserve her life", but apologised to her Algerian opponent on Friday for not shaking hands.
Khelif, speaking after her victory, said: "I'm here for the gold - I fight everybody."
The International Boxing Association (IBA), which was the previous organiser of Olympic boxing, has been a vocal critic of the IOC's decision to permit the two athletes to compete.
Here BBC Sport takes you through some of the key questions around the topic.
What sex was Khelif assigned at birth? Was she born biologically male or female?
Khelif has always competed in the women's division and is recognised by the International IOC as a female athlete.
"The Algerian boxer was born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female, has a female passport," IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said on Friday.
"This is not a transgender case. There has been some confusion that somehow it's a man fighting a woman. This is just not the case. On that there is consensus, scientifically this is not a man fighting a woman."
Khelif has spoken about her experience of growing up as a girl in Algeria and the prejudice she faced playing football alongside boys.
"Don't let obstacles come in your way, resist any obstacles and overcome them," she said in March 2024. "My dream is to win a gold medal.
"If I win, mothers and fathers can see how far their children can go. I particularly want to inspire girls and children who are disadvantaged in Algeria."
There is no suggestion Khelif identifies as anything other than a woman.
Khelif being in women's boxing not fair, says next opponent

What is her boxing career to date?
Khelif has been boxing for eight years.
The Algerian made her debut on the world amateur stage at 19, when she came 17th at the 2018 World Championships. A year later, Khelif came 19th in the 2019 Women's World Boxing Championships.
She made her Olympic debut at the 2020 Games in Tokyo. Fighting in the 60kg lightweight division, Khelif was beaten 5-0 at the quarter-final stage by Ireland's eventual gold medallist Kellie Harrington.
She then became the first Algerian boxer to win a World Championship medal, taking silver in 2022 after losing the final to Ireland's Amy Broadhurst, who now represents Britain. Khelif followed that by winning the 2022 African Championships and 2022 Mediterranean Games.
In 2023, she won gold at the Arab Games in the 66kg division and earned her place in the 2024 Games by beating Mozambique's Alcinda Panguana in the final of the African Olympics qualification tournament in Senegal.
To date, Khelif has fought 51 times in her career, winning 42 and losing nine. Six of those victories have come via knockout.
Why was Khelif's win against Carini controversial?
Khelif's victory attracted controversy, and criticism from some people, after Carini conceded in just 46 seconds.
The Italian boxer, who said she had to "preserve her life" following the abandoned bout, has since apologised to her opponent.
Much of the criticism stems from Khelif's disqualification at the 2023 World Championships in New Delhi, India.
She failed a gender eligibility test conducted by the IBA hours before her gold medal showdown against China's Yang Liu. The Algerian initially appealed against the decision with the Court of Arbitration of Sport, but withdrew her appeal during the process.
The Russian-led IBA said Khelif "failed to meet the eligibility criteria for participating in the women's competition, as set and laid out in the IBA regulations".
According to the IBA's regulations: "Boxers will compete against boxers of the same gender, meaning women vs women and men vs men as per the definitions of these rules.
The IBA defines a woman, female or girl as "an individual with chromosome XX" and men, males or boys as "an individual with chromosome XY".
The IBA denied Khelif's testosterone levels had been tested.
In an interview with BBC sports editor Dan Roan on Thursday, IBA chief executive Chris Roberts said XY chromosomes were found in "both cases".
Roberts said there were "different strands involved in that" and therefore the body could not commit to referring to Khelif as "biologically male".
The IOC has raised doubts over the accuracy of the tests.
"We don't know what the protocol was, we don't know whether the test was accurate, we don't know whether we should believe the test," said IOC spokesperson Adams.
"There's a difference between a test taking place and whether we accept the accuracy or even the protocol of the test."
The BBC has, as yet, been unable to determine what the eligibility tests consisted of.

What has changed in Olympic boxing regulation and governance since the IBA's decision?
Unlike previous Games, boxing at the Tokyo Olympics was organised by the IOC rather than the IBA.
The IOC suspended the IBA in 2019 because of concerns over its finances, governance, ethics, refereeing and judging.
Having failed to meet required reforms set out by the IOC, the IBA was stripped of its status as the sport's world governing body in 2023. That decision was upheld in April 2024 by the Court of Arbitration for Sport following an appeal.
The IOC's decision to strip the IBA of its status came four months after the body disqualified Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting from the 2023 World Championships.
In 2021, the IOC released a framework on 'Fairness, Inclusion and Non-Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity and Sex Variations', external.
The document sets out 10 principles - not rules - for national bodies to follow when selecting athletes for the Games.
The IOC said it "supports the participation of any athlete who has qualified and met the eligibility criteria to compete in the Olympic Games as established by their IF (International Federation). The IOC will not discriminate against an athlete who has qualified through their IF (International Federation), on the basis of their gender identity and/or sex characteristics."
What testing is conducted in boxing?
In 2019, the IOC delegated responsibility for the organisation and management of doping control at the Olympics to the International Testing Agency (ITA).
The IOC said it took a "zero-tolerance policy" to anyone found using or providing doping products.
Tests include, but are not excluded to, determining an athlete's levels of testosterone.
"There are many women with higher levels of testosterone than men," said IOC spokesperson Mark Adams.
"So the idea that a testosterone test is a magic bullet is actually not true."
Is this a transgender debate?
No.
There is no suggestion that Khelif identifies as transgender or intersex.
What have people said?
"It matters to be able to compete on equal grounds and, from my point of view, it was not an even contest," - Italian Prime MinisterGiorgia Meloni.
"I think it has hurt Olympic boxing at a crucial time where its future is still being discussed. It's an absolute disaster," Steve Bunce, 5 Live commentator
"If you've got one boxer who far outweighs the strength of another based against eligibility criteria and testing, that would suggest that that person is not fit to be within the female category of the competition," Chris Roberts, CEO of IBA
"I would urge we try to take the culture war out of this and actually address the issues and the people and think about the people concerned and the real damage that is being done by misinformation," Mark Adams, IOC spokesperson.
"It was an incredibly uncomfortable watch for the 46 seconds that it lasted and I know there is a lot of concern about women competitors about whether we are getting the balance right in not just in boxing but other sports as well," Lisa Nandy, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.

Nobody in the South East believes Nnamdi Kanu or IPOB are terrorists, only non-South easterners who want to protect their long failed "one Nigeria" believe so

Yes you are correct. It's just that you will need more than 10 women to participate in the protest to convince the powers that be.😎

Please house, I just got a land that I want to use for livestock farming. Because I want to be resident on the farm, I want to build a room and parlour self-contain house on it.What I'll like to know now is, how much it will cost to construct such.

A woman who served 43 years for a murder she did not commit has been released after her conviction was overturned.
Sandra Hemme was 20 years old when she was found guilty of stabbing to death library worker Patricia Jeschke from St Joseph, Missouri, in November 1980. She was given a life sentence.
There was no evidence that linked her to the crime other than a confession she gave under heavy sedation in a psychiatric hospital, a review into her case found.
Now 64, she is believed to have served the longest known wrongful conviction of a woman in US history according to her representatives.
Her legal team at the Innocence Project said they are grateful that Ms Hemme is finally reunited with her family, and they will “continue to fight” to clear her name.
While she is no longer incarcerated, her case is still being reviewed.
Circuit Court Judge Ryan Horsman’s original 118-page ruling overturning her conviction came on 14 June. It said Ms Hemme’s lawyers had clear proof of her innocence, including evidence that was not given to her defence team at the time.
"This court finds that the totality of the evidence supports a finding of actual innocence," Judge Horsman concluded.
The review found that local police ignored evidence that directly pointed to one of their own officers - Michael Holman – who later went to prison for another crime and died in 2015.
Holman’s truck was seen in the area the day of the murder, his alibi could not be corroborated, and he used Patricia Jeschke’s credit card after claiming he found it in a ditch.
A pair of distinctive gold earrings identified by Ms Jeschke’s father were also found in Holman’s home.
None of this was disclosed to Ms Hemme’s defence team at the time, the review said.
Ms Hemme was interrogated by police several times under the influence of antipsychotic medication and a powerful sedative after being involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital. She had been receiving occasional psychiatric treatment since she was 12 years old.
Her responses were “monosyllabic” and she was “not totally cognisant of what was going on”, court documents showed, and at times could barely hold her head up straight and was in pain from muscle spasms – a side effect of the medications.
Judge Horsman’s review noted that no forensic evidence linked Ms Hemme to the murder. She had no motive and there were no witnesses linking her to the crime.
Sandra Hemme finally left prison on Friday, and the Kansas City Star reports that she will live with her sister.
After her release she was reunited with family in a nearby park, where she hugged her sister, daughter and granddaughter.
Her father had been hospitalised and was receiving palliative care this week. Her legal team said she was planning to visit him as soon as she can.
Defence lawyer Sean O’Brien told the Star that she will still need help because she has spent most of her life in prison and was ineligible for social security.

A senior Kenyan police officer has been shot dead after he opened fire at a magistrate in court in the capital, Nairobi.
The chief inspector opened fire on Makadara Principal Magistrate Monica Kivuti shortly after she made a ruling in a case reportedly involving his wife.
The officer is said to have been angered by the court's decision to cancel her bail after she had absconded.
The officer, identified as Samson Kipchirchir Kipruto, who is in charge of a police station in Londiani in western Kenya, then pulled out a gun and shot the magistrate, injuring her.
Other officers in court responded immediately, with one of them shooting the offending policeman and killing him.
In the process, three other officers were injured, a police report said.
The magistrate and the injured officers are being treated in hospital.
The judiciary said the magistrate had "cancelled the bond for an accused person who had jumped bond and had failed to offer satisfactory explanations for jumping bond".
"Immediately this decision was pronounced, a person shot at the magistrate and injured her on the hip,” it said in a statement.
It noted initial reports that indicated "that the shooter is a police officer who is married to the suspect".
The national police service said the officer was in the court for "unknown reasons".
Investigations are continuing to establish the circumstances that led to the shooting, it said.
The incident inside a courtroom has come as a shock to Kenyans.
The police have often been accused of being involved in extra-judicial killings but no such incident has been reported inside court.
The judiciary has said it will enhance security measures and has assured judicial staff and other court users of their safety and security.
"As the judiciary family, we wish our colleague a quick recovery. We also send our condolences to the family of the officer who lost his life in this unfortunate incident,” said chief registrar of the judiciary Winfridah Mokaya.
