darlingnuel: I don't get it. Apple has bn the best in this game of tech devices. How could they churn out a product without thorough pre-testing? Was it an oversight? Anyway, I wouldn't blame them so much: we all make mistakes. Every phone brand has it's own unique 'error', just that these errors present itself in varying stances. Some are software errors etc. I believe, Apple would be paying thorough attention to the slightest details in their subsequent products. There won't be improvement or corrections if we don't experience shortfalls. . They had production issues with the 6+.

A: I was trained as an Almajiri, after four years,at the age of 14, I was sent to Kano City, Kano State where I was trained in the Sheik Abubakar Gummi School of Arabic studies. Q: So you know Sheik Abubakar Gummi? A: Yes, and I also know his children and obeyed all the teachings he laid down before he died. Q: So who tutored you and who is your mentor? A: Sheik Abubakar Gummi tutored me. My mentor was Osama bin Laden, and until my conversion from Islam to the Christian faith, my dreams and aspirations in life was to do more than Osama bin Laden did before he died on Sunday, May 1, 2011. Q: You said that your mentor was Osama bin Laden. Is he still your mentor? A: I am now a changed person. The Sheik Sani Haliru is now a new creature, old things have passed away because I now have Jesus Christ that I hated and persecuted for 44 years. Q: Tell me about your past and how many countries of the World you have been to? A: I cannot tell all about my past because it will take several days to tell my story and about my conversion experience to Christianity. I have been to eight countries. Q: Can you please name them? A: I have been to Sudan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Egypt and of course to my own country Niger Republic. Q: Where did you receive your training and as what? A: I received my training in Libya and Pakistan as an Attack Strategist.

A: You will not believe me and only God will judge the Chief sponsor of terrorism in Nigeria whose name I will not mention because he is so powerful and even the president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, is so much afraid of the man. Q: If you really know the Christ in you, why are you afraid to tell me the name of the man who sponsored you and the date or approximate period he sponsored you. A: I am not afraid because he knows me and he cannot deny it if he sees me face to face. Q: Then tell me, who is this powerful man? A: The man is no other person than the man they call IBB now as I am talking to you, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida has more than 600 men and women Jihadists who are under his pay role. They are scattered all over the Country and he (IBB) can use them to destroy Nigeria. Q: Did you say six hundred? A: Yes 600 + IBB’s agents of destruction are in the Nigeria Army (NA), Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Navy, Air Force, Oil and Gas sectors, even in the finance home such as in top level positions of CBN (Central Bank of Nigeria) and other banks. You find them in politics, in the Senate, National Assembly, in the media both print and electronic and even in Aso Rock, Abuja (Nigeria’s capital). Q: How do you mean by this statement “and even in the finance…”? A: Yes, I mean every word I say; even the Islamic bank champion was planted by IBB to help in Islamizing Nigeria. Q: So how can you describe IBB? A: IBB is a “green snake” in green grass. He is the main problem of Nigeria along with members of the Cabal. Q: Have you forwarded any of these evidence(s) to Aso Rock or to SSS (State Security Services)? A: I attempted to do so a few weeks ago and I was arrested and detained for two days because IBB’S men are so many in SSS (State Security Services) as well. After I was released by the grace of God, they (the Police) warned me never to blow up the polity or provoke violence and I should keep my so-called born-again with me or else I will go to jail. Q: So you were a key member and a registered jihadist hardliner. A: Yes, I was. Q: Under what group? A: I was a Boko Haramist. But Boko Haram is just a cover name to give it a name. I have my identity as a founding member of the dreaded jama’aful Ahlul sunna wal Liddawati wal Jihad, aka Boko Haram. Q: Apart from IBB, who are the other top sponsors of terrorism in this country? A: They are many, but IBB is the major financier. He introduced the suicide bombing that started when he killed Dele Giwa. I have the names of six traditional rulers and seven present & ex- Governors as well as several top military and security officers who are co-sponsoring the so called Boko Haram.9javibes.com/news/exposed-full-list-boko-haram-sponsors-nigeria/?utm_source=&utm |

Art, Graphics & Video › Re: The Biggest Mistakes Logo Designers Make by tomiobj(m): 3:50pm On Sep 25, 2014 |
erad: The art of logo design is littered with pitfalls. We reveal the biggest mistakes to avoid, in order to guide your design to logo glory.
Whether you’re a logo design novice with just a handful of clients or a creative director, there are certain pitfalls every designer should avoid when creating logos. And with so many now socially sharing and scrutinising your work, designers must be extra vigilant to avoid falling into these traps. Here we've provided a run-down of the most common 10 to avoid...
[size=14pt]01. Slavishly following trends[/size]
https://media.creativebloq.futurecdn.net/sites/creativebloq.com/files/images/2013/02/oldlogo.jpg This VH1 logo was bang on trend when it launched 10 years ago, but looked very dated by the time it was replaced in January this year
Choosing to design your logo based on current trends is likely to leave your logo looking dated and out-of-touch as soon as the trend dies out, not to mention making you look slightly amateur.
Rather than choose the popular flavour of the month, think about what's more likely to have longevity for your brand. For example, the current logo of the BBC (shown below) has been around since 1997, yet still has not become dated.
https://media.creativebloq.futurecdn.net/sites/creativebloq.com/files/images/2013/02/bbclogo.jpg The current BBC logo is now 16 years old and still looks fresh
[size=14pt]02. Overdoing colour[/size]
https://media.creativebloq.futurecdn.net/sites/creativebloq.com/files/images/2013/02/polish1.jpg The logo for the Polish Presidency has been criticised for using too many colours
Overdoing colours will not only make your design busy and confusing but also make it difficult to translate into monotone, which you’re likely to need at some point. Try to keep colours under a maximum of four and if your client requests lots of colours, try to use logical combinations and remember colour psychology.
[size=14pt]03. Failing to make the logo transferable[/size]
https://media.creativebloq.futurecdn.net/sites/creativebloq.com/files/images/2013/02/brooklynolder.jpg This logo for Brooklyn Public Library was replaced earlier this year - partly because it didn't reduce down well on mobile devices
Keep in mind that your logo will need to be transferrable across a range of different mediums. Make sure that the colours, size and overall design will work on printed materials such as signs and T-shirts, as well as across various technology touchpoints such as websites and mobile sites.
[size=14pt]04. Poor font choice[/size]
Deciding which font to use is hugely important and a significant factor in shaping your brand identity. If designing your own font proves to be too tasking, ensure that the off-the shelf version is first of all appropriate for logo use and secondly, appropriate for your brand. Remember, fonts are also subjective to trends so try and avoid the logo font-of-the-moment, which is likely to leave your logo looking tired in a matter of a few years. Also try to avoid choosing logos that look similar to Microsoft Word Art.
[size=14pt]05. Copying other logos[/size]
https://media.creativebloq.futurecdn.net/sites/creativebloq.com/files/images/2013/02/bmw.jpg Chinese car company BYD's logo looks a little familiar...
During the early stages of creating your logo, be very careful of copying, either deliberately or subconsciously, other brands. Having a logo too similar to someone else, especially a competitor, will both devalue your design and make you forgettable to your audience. The purpose of a logo is to make your brand stand out in the crowd, so differentiate yourself from the rest.
[size=14pt]06. Using stock art[/size]
If you're thinking about turning to a stock image site to form the backbone of your logo, don't! The purpose is to create a logo that’s unique to a brand, which you’re unlikely to do if you’re using an image that’s done the rounds. Also, using stock images is more than likely to leave you looking cheap.
[size=14pt]07. Too many fonts[/size]
https://media.creativebloq.futurecdn.net/sites/creativebloq.com/files/images/2013/02/toomany.jpg Two examples of logos that use too many typefaces
A major, and surprisingly common, mistake is using too many fonts and font styles. Along with making the design look overly busy, the use of multiple fonts can also distort your brand identity and make it difficult for the audience to understand the message you’re trying to convey.
[size=14pt]08. Overdoing special effects[/size]
https://media.creativebloq.futurecdn.net/sites/creativebloq.com/files/images/2013/02/3logo.jpg Mobile phone company 3's logo is beautiful - but consider how easy it is to transfer such a logo to different media, sizes, etc
Similarly to overdoing colour or excessive numbers of fonts, using special effects is also likely to confuse your design. Additionally, consider again how your logo translates to greyscale and other mediums. It’s unlikely that using these techniques will leave your logo standing out from the crowd.
[size=14pt]09. Being too abstract[/size]
https://media.creativebloq.futurecdn.net/sites/creativebloq.com/files/images/2013/02/university.jpg This redesign of the University of California's logo was withdrawn after mass protests
Whilst you don’t want your logo to be so bland and ordinary that it’s easily forgettable, you also don’t want to be so left-field that it both confuses your audience and misrepresents your organisation. Aim to strike a personal balance that will grab attention for all the right reasons.
[size=14pt]10. Using pixelated images[/size]
https://logoholic.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Google.png
Using pixelated images is likely to lead to headaches. Design software that use raster images won’t allow you to enlarge your image without it becoming pixelated, nor will you be able to post it on a web background colour without first changing it to a .PNG file. Instead opt for vector graphics that maintain consistency across varying mediums.

eleojo23: Maths is important for critical thinking.
It exercises the brain and sharpen your thinking skills. It helps us recognise patterns and to understand the world around us.
The knowledge of maths produces numeracy just as the knowledge of languages (English language for instance) produces literacy.
Here are some examples of what I mean by numeracy: (a) Being able to critically assess statistics. (b) Being able to manage family/personal budgets , purchases and business transactions. (c) Being able to estimate – in all kinds of situations, e.g. journey speed, time and distance, roughly how much a bill will be or your expected bank balance at the end of the month... #story for the gods.

Iamsynord: Most students in Art class are generally not good in maths but they are forced to pass it after all.. I know of a Particular boy that had to rewrite waec 6 times just because of Maths despite having As and Bus in the other subjects.. This bring the question of whether mathematics is as important to arts students as it is to other class and that it should be scrapped from d core subjects that one must get at least C ,in our SSCE exams since Arts mainly as to do with talk ,writing and reading instead of the confusing algorithm, phytagoras, bodmas and solving evident in Mathematics.. What is your own view of this  the reason they made maths compulsory for art students is because many people go to arts to run away from maths. So they just kept the stupid law to keep people in science. Just like most parents want their kids to be engineers nd doctors |

Also, people should learn to handle public property with care. I'm sure that one of the things that make the toilets an unpleasant sight apart from the leaking roof, may be failure of people to flush them after use. That's a habit that one notices when people use such facilities. It's not good behaviour. . Waa sere |

simpleseyi: With an outlandish expenditure of N174bn, the government had aimed to bring the nation’s airports at par with their counterparts in the developed world, but passengers who use the busiest of the facilities in Lagos are not impressed with the work done so far, UDEME EKWERE writes
Passengers who regularly use the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos are not impressed with the state of facilities at the nation’s gateway despite the multi-billion naira remodelling carried out on the airport and others across the country.
The passengers are particularly not happy because of the high level of discomfort they are experiencing at the edifice.
It was gathered that some of the new facilities were no longer functioning properly, while others had falling into a state of disrepair.
For instance, passengers complained that the air-conditioning system at the arrival hall of the MMIA now worked abnormally, and that visitors coming into the country were being confronted with embarrassing heat at the lounge and up to the immigration point.
They also alleged that some parts of the roof were leaking, especially whenever it rained.
The recently fixed toilets, the passengers lamented, had become faulty as those, who wanted to make use of the conveniences, were being confronted with unpleasant sights.
Some of the passengers, who spoke in separate interviews with our correspondent, decried the failing facilities at the airport, adding that it was too soon for it to be in a bad shape after the much touted remodelling.
They said that having spent huge sums of tax payers’ funds to restructure the airport, it should not be uncomfortable for users.
A passenger, who just returned from Dubai, Mr. Isaac Femina, said he was disappointed that some of the facilities at the airport were returning to their old state.
He said, “I really don’t know why things do not work well in this country. It has not been long since we were talking about the huge amount of money spent on remodelling the airport; and now, you’ll notice that some facilities are not in proper working order.
“For example, the walkway belt, the one that propels you to move faster at the arrival lounge is not working anymore; if you get on it now, it is as if you are just walking on the bare floor. This should not be; it is too soon.”
Mr. Kunle Stephen, a businessman who shuttles between Lagos and the United Kingdom, said apart from the fact that there were some spots where the roof was leaking, the air-conditioning units around the luggage area were not working well.
Stephen said, “It is quite unfortunate, because you just see on paper that so much has been spent on repairs yet it doesn’t seem like anything is working. Imagine the ACs that should be the first thing that should work well are not. The other day, it was raining here in Nigeria when we got in and some parts of the roof were leaking! To say the least, I was embarrassed.
“To make matters worse, I came to Lagos with my spouse sometime last month and she had to use the toilet on arrival. But she ran out a few seconds later, saying she would manage till we get to town, because the whole place was leaking and there was water on the floor; it is really sad.”
Another passenger, Mrs. Toluwalase Jacob, said that even though she was a little impressed by some of the noticeable changes at the airport, she hoped the issue of the air-conditioning system would be sorted out soon.
She said, “Well, I think there have been some improvements with the work that has gone on here, because when I came in to Nigeria from London late last year, the situation was really terrible.
“It seems a little better now, but I hope they will look into the issue of the air-conditioning system so that the air will not feel so polluted all the time.”
A top official of the Aviation ministry, who did not want his name mentioned because he was not authorised to speak on the issue, said that it was not unusual for some of the infrastructure to wear out after a while, because of continuous usage.
He said, “Of course, you can’t expect the facilities to remain just the way they were because people are making use of them every day, and you know that some people are not very careful in their handling of public property.
“Also, it is important for you to know that the work is not done yet at the airport; it is still ongoing; there are still a few things that need to be put in place, and when it is done, I am sure that the passengers and airport users will be more comfortable than they are at present.”
Commenting on the development, the spokesperson, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Mr. Yakubu Dati, said some construction work was still ongoing at the airport, which could have accounted for some of the difficulties that passengers were experiencing at the moment.
He said that on completion, users of the airport would not face as much inconvenience as they were currently encountering.
Dati said, “We are constructing the upper walkway at the arrival hall and the leakage is due to the construction work at the upper deck. When completed, the upper and lower decks will serve the arriving and departing passengers, respectively.
“That way, arriving and departing passengers will not meet as is presently the case. We apologise for the inconveniences this is causing.”
Over N174bn has been spent by the Federal Government on airport remodelling across the country in the last three years.
Following the removal of the former Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, there had been fears that the projects, which she initiated, would be abandoned due to inadequate funding.
However, the then Supervising Minister of Aviation, Dr. Samuel Ortom, had assured Nigerians that the ministry was making adequate efforts to ensure that the projects were completed within the stipulated period.
He had said, “I want to assure Nigerians that the projects will be completed. The projects are part of the aviation master plan dully approved by the Federal Executive Council. Every single project that was started in the phase one, two and three of the remodelling plan will be completed. It is a matter of stepping up our revenue generation.
“We have massive opportunities and if we are able to close the gap, we will generate enough revenue, and with additional funding from the Federal Government, we will execute the projects. I want to allay the fears of Nigerians that the projects won’t be abandoned. The debts and commitment are there but you can see the massive work going on in the aviation industry today.
“That justifies the N174bn debt. Remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day and there is no way we think we can generate this money within a week. But we intend not to embark on new projects so we can concentrate our energies and ensure we complete the projects started by my predecessor.”
SOURCE: http://www.punchng.com/news/remodelled-lagos-airports-air-conditioners-fail-roof-leaks/ . I go to that airport frequently and the only thing they ever did since July (last yr) was the flooring and the change of the location of the way to the gates. Around the beginning of august. The baggage delivery system wasn't working. Nt the one for the arrival section (that dosen't work most time) but the departure ones that takes the bag to the plane. And the poor airport staff have to push the bags to the plane manually. And the problem with the ac is that there isn't enough power going into it. Just like when the light nepa brings cannot 'carry' your ac. And the toilets rent cleaned properly. And for crying out loud. Can't they buy a can of air wick. The whole airport smells lyk semo and ewedu. The runways of the airports are cracking. With grass growing inbetween. And the escalator that takes you to the immigration from arrivals.

PrinceCharmiing: Actually I was eating tilapia fish today with a bottle of La Casera, I wanted to drink the lacasera while still chewing the fish and dayum! It washed the bone down to my throat! And you know how strong that bone is, I nearly die sha. I was able to push it down by drink almost 5 liters of water  The phenomenon of bone struck in throat is actually caused by the contraction of wall muscles of the throat which caused the bone to get stabbed into it. The discomfort caused by it is a lot. Person will feel irritated throughout and may even feel like vomiting. Sometimes you may not feel it while normal talking but when using certain phrase or words it hurts. Here in this article, I have tried to describe certain steps to get rid of such a horrific situation. But remember, all these methods to be tried out only if there is no bleeding and the pain is bearable. Otherwise a doctor’s advice is the best way. But if things are under control, I suggest using these methods one by one or multiple times to get rid of that bone from your throat. The first common method is obviously examining the exact location of the problem. Standing in front of a mirror or getting some help will do. Using a flashlight try to find the bone if possible. Most of the time, it may not be possible as it might have gone much below the throat. The Second method is another common one where you have to drink lots of water and preferable with a pinch of salt added to it. Most of the small fish bones will get dislodged from throat and will reach your stomach. The third method is quite common in Asian countries where people swallow some “solid food” to get rid of it. The solid food generally is a small ball shaped boiled rice, banana or bread. This causes the fish bone to get struck with the solid food and then it moves down to your stomach. But do not forget to drink a glass of water after that. The forth method is a common one use is China, where people drink diluted Vinegar. Vinegar will soften the fish bone and thus it becomes very easy to dislodge it from your throat. But medically it is not an effective method as the amount of acetic acid is too small in vinegar to soften the bone. Fifth method is the “old wives tale” where people drink orange juice or lemon juice to remove fish bone. The citric acid is believed to do the same trick of softening the bone. Another method followed in some countries to get rid of fishbone is to drink some olive oil. This will help the bone to slide down the throat as well as you will feel relieved by the soothing effect of olive oil in the minor cuts in your throat caused by the bone. Lastly the “modern method” will consist of drinking some coke. Coke will exactly do the same thing as suggested in the above two methods, i.e. softening the bone. It is also believed that there are some very effective homeo medicines to get rid of foreign particles from your body. Medicines like Hepar Sulph or Silica 200 are really effective in this case. At the same time, there are some suggestions regarding what not to be done during such a case. Avoid coughing or straining your throat as it might pierce the bone further into esophagus. Moreover do not try to push or massage the throat externally with your hand as the fish bone can get jammed. Fish bone struck in your throat is really irritating and causes a lot of discomfort. |

Moh4newsafrica: TEAM NEWS
Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta is suspended after being sent off against Chelsea on Sunday.
Sergio Aguero has a minor knee problem and misses out, as does David Silva who has an ankle injury, while Samir Nasri has a groin problem.
Sheffield Wednesday are still without midfielders Kieran Lee (groin) and Sam Hutchinson (back).
Goalkeeper Chris Kirkland was used in the first two rounds of the League Cup and could again play. MATCH PREVIEW
As the first trophy he won with Manchester City, the Capital One Cup will always be special for Manuel Pellegrini, but it is more than mere sentiment that will make him desperate for victory on Wednesday evening.
City have not won in four matches in all competitions - and while those games have been tough fixtures, Pellegrini will be anxious to get his side back to winning ways.
A home tie against lower league opposition might not sound too arduous a way of opening the defence of the cup but Sheffield Wednesday are a team with momentum, and Pellegrini will not be underestimating them.
"When you play against a Championship team it is very difficult, the motivation is not the same and they always try to come here and win," said the City manager. "Last season, we were eliminated here in the FA Cup against Wigan, a Championship team."
Stuart Gray's side have lost just one of their 10 matches in all competitions this season, conceding just four goals, and the Wednesday manager is relishing the trip to the Etihad Stadium.
"We will be facing a team full of internationals but it will be a great opportunity for my players to test themselves against world class players," he said.
"Very rarely do you get these opportunities so we'll play with a freedom, we'll play relaxed, we'll be composed but one thing we will do is play with 100% commitment as well." MATCH FACTS Head-to-head
City are unbeaten in their last nine matches against Sheffield Wednesday (W5, D4). It's 35 years ago this month since the two clubs last met in the League Cup - City won 2-1 at home to wrap up a second-round win 3-2 on aggregate.
Manchester City
Defending champions Manchester City have alternated between progressing and exiting at the third round in each of the last five seasons. But they are without a win in their last four matches in all competitions. Since his arrival at Manchester City, Edin Dzeko has scored nine goals in 10 appearances in the League Cup.
Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday last made it into the fourth round of the League Cup in the 2001-02 campaign. Stuart Gray's side have already knocked out Premier League opposition in this season's Capital One Cup, beating Burnley 1-0 in the previous round. Wednesday have lifted the League Cup just once, back in 1991, when they beat Manchester United 1-0 in the final.

LilNetty: The Defence Headquarters has insisted that it has killed Abubakar Shekau in a recent raid, in Konduga and that as a result, many of the Boko Haram foot soldiers have surrendered and laid down their weapons.
In a statements issued by the Defence Information Spokesperson, Maj. Gen . Chris Olukolade, the Army commended its men for their gallantry even in the face of extreme confrontation by the insurgents.
It further confirmed that on the 2 and 17 September 2014, the insurgents attempted to violate the security in the region and tried to enter Konduga to perpetrate their atrocities. It said that with Air and land forces deployed to handle the situation, the convoy of combat vehicles typical of terrorists’ mission that involves their top commanders, were fiercely engaged, where ”several of the terrorists including some of their commanders lost their lives in encounters which lasted an average of about 5 hours each. ”
The statement said the troops captured some of the terrorists and their equipment and as well killed Shekau. It said; ”In the course of those encounters, one Mohammed Bashir who has been acting or posing on videos as the deceased Abubakar Shekau, the eccentric character known as leader of the group died. Since the name Shekau has become a brand name for the terrorists’ leader, the Nigerian military remains resolute to serve justice to anyone who assumes that designation or title as well as all terrorists that seek to violate the freedom and territory of Nigeria,”the military warned.

Politics › Re: Boko Haram Agree To Release All 219 Chibok Girls by tomiobj(m): 7:21pm On Sep 24, 2014 |
UTILITYMAY: Fresh reports say that Boko Haram group has finally agreed to free all the Chibok girls for 18 sect commanders currently in detention.
It would be recalled that less than two weeks ago it was reported that the insurgents had agreed to release only 30 female students abducted in April in exchange for 18 key group members. The decision was allegedly made after the Nigerian authorities had held secret talks with one of boko haram seniors identified as Umar.
This Saturday it was gathered that the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Nigerian government were holding long-time negotiations on the issue.
Finally, according to the Nation, the agreement on 219 girls release was reached.
It has been reported that the two parties asked their representatives to go back to their leaders to discuss the new conditions.
At the meeting said to be facilitated by the President, Civil Rights Congress (CRC), Comrade Shehu Sani, it was allegedly claimed that if the girls were tried to be released by force, it might lead to fatalities.
One of those who attended the session said:
“The sect shifted its position and agreed to release all the girls instead of 30 Christian married girls it had promised. But Boko Haram said it does not trust the government going by previous experience. If the government had respected previous talks, the Chibok girls were initially meant to be off the hook during the Eid-el Fitr festival. Again about two weeks ago, a delegation was already in Maiduguri until the swap deal was bungled. Some security agents only advised on the release of six out of the 18 leaders of the sect. They rated the rest 12 as dangerous. When the insurgents found out, they backtracked and demanded the release of the 18 leaders. The development paved the way for the latest talks in Abuja which involved the ICRC.”
The source also said that the Nigerian authorities promised to release the 18 leaders as soon as all the girls were let go.
Another source present at the session said:
“We generally agreed that all the parties should go back to their leaders on the agreement reached. The government said no to piecemeal release of the girls and Boko Haram claimed that it will not have any business with the government until all the 18 leaders of the sect are freed. After the Eid-el-Kabir festival, the two parties will meet again on the terms to finalise the agreement or part ways. Before the meeting rose, Boko Haram representatives warned against the use of force to liberate the girls. It also made it clear that it had the “capacity to take on the Federal Government for the next 45 years.”
Regarding the insurgency in the North-East of Nigeria one of the sources said that “the outcome of the latest round of talks will determine whether they should ceasefire or not”.
It would be recalled that more than 200 girls were abducted on April 14 by boko haram in Chibok of the troubled Borno State. Despite both the military and social involvement of various countries worldwide, the majority of students are still missing.

Celebrities › Re: I Do Not Bleach, I Have Sun Burns – Ayo Adesanya by tomiobj(m): 7:35am On Sep 21, 2014 |
oludashmi: So you don’t bleach your skin?
No I do not bleach my skin. When you see somebody that bleaches, you will know. I have sun burns and it is not a hidden thing. I have tried a lot of things to make it fade away but it has refused and I have come to terms with it. I would never bleach my skin, a lot of people get confused about it but I don’t get bothered. I don’t owe anybody an explanation but when you meet me in person, you can always make up your mind.
What is your take on people that bleach their skin?
Some people are naturally fair and the weather in Nigeria is terrible, it is just recently that we have been experiencing cool weather. The sun is usually very hot and it is bad for the skin. For someone like me, a lot of people are usually confused when they see my picture. They are quick to assume things and they do not know me personally. When you see people in pictures, don’t be too quick to judge, do you know how many lights are focused on the person while taking the picture? Because of the weather in this country, there are some lotions people use to enhance their skin and make it softer. There are some lotions that are not harmful but people have some misconception. The weather is very bad and it can affect one’s skin if care is not taken. I have friends that are fair in complexion and I know what they go through to maintain their complexion. If you do not maintain it, it would appear as if your skin is dirty. I don’t believe people should bleach personally.
Some people believe that fair skinned women have an advantage over dark skinned women, do you agree with that?
I don’t agree with that. I have dark skinned friends that are very pretty. People have preferences, while some like fair skinned people, others can’t stand them. I don’t think a person’s skin colour should determine anything but their personality.
