Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eye housemate, Angel, has disclosed why she can kiss any guy in the house.

She added, "They are so immature. So because I kiss a guy, that means I like him. Are you joking?"

Contributing to the lamentations of the girls, Boma pointed out that it's the girls and not the guys that make such jokes against them.

Funke Akindele– “If you rush into marriage, you’ll rush out like I once did”

Posted: 22 Aug 2021 10:30 PM PDT

Veteran Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele speaks on her past marriage to encourage young ladies on the need to be ready before taking such a step.

The superstar actress who married Adeola Kehinde Oloyede in 2012 and divorced in 2013 opens up on the relationship during a recent chat with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.

"I have never addressed this issue but I will do now to encourage ladies that are pressured to get married. Please calm down and take your time because if you rush in, you rush out…that is the lesson learnt.

I just wanted to get married then, have children because I was being pressurized by society, here and there….and then it didn't work out and ended in a bad way….I was filming when the news broke on social media, I wanted to die, I lost some good deals and all but I didn't let it break me," Funke Akindele stated.

Speaking further, the mother of twins who remarried in 2016 added; "I channeled my energy into work, made money and I saved a lot, I will wake up early to work….there will always be bad times but you will survive, don't let it weigh you down because it will pass and because you serve a living God.

There are times anger and jealousy will come, but don't let it eat you up, as a young lady don't be pressured into marriage, marry cos you love him and want to be with him, not because the society and everyone is pressuring you to, ignore the naysayers; do what makes you happy."

4 natural oil extracted for your dry skin

Posted: 22 Aug 2021 05:30 AM PDT

You have dry skin when your skin lacks oil and appears whitish and scaly. The best solution for dry skin is natural oils.

There are several things you can try to remedy dry skin like moisturizing creams, humidifiers and gentle cleansers. But, nothing works as much as natural oils.

Natural oils have vitamins and hydrating oils that heal and protects the skin. They also make the skin smoother and more moisturized.

Branded creams and lotions have preservatives and artificial fragrances that may cause your skin to become more sensitive.

These are the best natural oils for your skin;

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is not only one of the most common natural oil available, but it is one of the best oils to hydrate your skin.

Coconut oil increases moisture in the skin and soothes it. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that heal cracked skin.

Olive Oil
Olive oil can be found in almost every home in Nigeria. It is commonly called 'anointing oil' because it is used by churches. But do you know that olive oil is not only used for cooking but is what your dry skin needs?

Olive Oil possesses antioxidant and hydrating properties. Hence, it can be used to soothe and moisturize dry skin.

Sunflower seed oil
The sunflower seed oil has linoleic acid that helps to protect and moisturize dry skin. It also helps to hydrate the skin because it has essential fatty acids.
It also heals the skin and prevents irritation because it has anti-inflammatory properties.

Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil has a lot of fatty acids which easily sips into the skin, protects and ease skin from dryness. Jojoba oil is a two-edged sword. It also prevents the skin from being too oily by causing less sebum to be produced.

Plantain, The health benefits of eating this food are unbelievable

Posted: 22 Aug 2021 05:00 AM PDT

Studies have shown that the nutrients contained in plantain can help improve sexual performance through increased libido.

Everybody knows that plantain is an energy given food, but what is unknown to most people is that it carries some unbelievable health benefits.

Studies have shown that plantains provide essential minerals that help keep your body running efficiently. As a matter of fact, a cup of sliced, cooked plantains has 49 milligrams of magnesium and 716 milligrams of potassium, giving you 15 percent of your recommended daily intake for each of these minerals.

And according to a 2012 article, published by English researchers, it was stated that plantain may help prevent infectious diseases that are associated with diarrhea.

Furthermore, Venezuelan researcher also reported that hospitalized children who ate plantains experienced more weight gain and a faster recovery than children who ate yogurt.

However, it is important to note that plantains are rich sources of complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, and are easily digestible. And as a staple food, they have been the main fare of millions of people for centuries.

Here are some of the unbelievable health benefits of eating plantain regularly

1. It reduces the number of harmful free radicals
Free radicals are either made when our bodies break down food or are exposed to harmful elements like tobacco smoke and other radiations. They play a huge role in premature aging, diseases, and cancer.

However, findings from numerous studies have shown that vitamin C is an antioxidant that fights free radical damage. And with a serving of plantains providing over 35 percent of the vitamin C needed per day, plantains have been dubbed to be one of the best vitamin C foods around.

Owing to this, it is, therefore, advisable for us to include plantain to our list of favourite diet.

2. It boosts sexual performance
Studies have shown that the nutrients contained in plantain can help improve sexual performance through increased libido. In addition, eating plantain on a regular can also improve male fertility, thicker sperm, and volume.

Health experts have also suggested that unripe plantain (roasted or boiled) with ginger and garlic are wonderful when it comes to matters that concern sexual performance.

5 surprising foods that can increase your sex drive

3. It is very good for the heart
Recent studies have shown that eating plantain is very good for the heart because plantain has been shown to contain some amount of serotonin. And serotonin, on the other hand, helps to expand the arteries, improve blood flow, and reduces the risks of artery diseases and stroke.

Additionally, being a rich source of potassium, plantain helps to prevent heart attack and hypertension. The fiber contained in it also helps in reducing cholesterol level; thus reducing the risk of heart disease.

4. It strengthens stronger bones
When it comes to strengthening our bones, calcium is the essential needed mineral. And unripe plantain is very rich in calcium.

In addition to bone strengthening, plantain also encourages stronger muscles, nails, and teeth. This is why medical practitioners affirm that eating unripe plantain helps prevent diseases such as osteoporosis which involves the weakening of the bones and causes fractures.

5. It can prevent ulcer
Findings from various conducted studies show that unripe plantain contains phytochemical properties such as leucocyanidin which can prevent an ulcer.

Get to know the 7 glaring stomach ulcer symptoms you can’t ignore

Posted: 22 Aug 2021 04:30 AM PDT

Stomach ulcers are sores that develop in the lining of the stomach or part of the small intestine. Stomach ulcers are also known as peptic or gastric ulcers.

According to Wikipedia, stress ulcer is defined as a single or multiple mucosal defects which can become complicated by upper gastrointestinal bleeding physiologic stress.

Be that as it may, it is important to note that an ulcer occurs when tissue in an area of the mouth, stomach, esophagus, or other parts of the digestive system becomes damaged.

And as a result, the area gets irritated and inflamed and creates a hole or sore. Ulcers are at risk of bleeding, so those occurring in the stomach and intestinal tract need to be monitored.

Causes of ulcers include:

an infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria
long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines and ibuprofen
Stress and spicy food can also exacerbate the symptoms of an ulcer. Although they do not cause ulcers, they can make the situation worse by increasing the amount of stomach acid produced.

Though ulcers can be treated with traditional medicine, they can also be easily missed so make sure you're keeping an eye on worsening symptoms.

Get to know the 7 glaring stomach ulcer symptoms you can't ignore!

Burning upper abdominal pain, particularly between meals, early in the morning, or after drinking orange juice, coffee, or alcohol, or taking aspirin; discomfort is usually relieved after taking antacids
Tarry, black, or bloody stools- Seeing blood in the toilet, on the outside of your stool, or with wiping after a bowel movement is common. Fortunately, most of the causes of such rectal bleeding are not life-threatening; common causes include hemorrhoids and anal fissures. However, a black, tarry stool is likely an ulcer or other problem in the upper part of the digestive tract.

Bloating- Bloating is when your belly feels swollen after eating . It is usually caused by excess gas production or disturbances in the movement of the muscles of the digestive system. Bloating can often cause pain, discomfort and a "stuffed" feeling. It can also make your stomach look bigger.

Heartburn- Heartburn is a common problem created by acid reflux, a condition where some of the stomach contents are forced back up into the esophagus. It creates a burning pain in the lower chest.
Nausea or vomiting- Nausea is an unpleasant, diffuse sensation of unease and discomfort, often perceived as an urge to vomit.

Early feeling of fullness- This is when you get too full on very little food meaning that there is something in your stomach that is already taking up too much space and must be investigated by a health professional.

Weight loss- Losing too much weight too fast can be harmful for your health and put a lot of strain on your body because the ulcer or disease present is eating up your nutrients in order to grow stronger and make you grow weaker.

High blood pressure is a medical condition that can adversely affect your heart and lead to stroke and other heart conditions.

High blood pressure occurs when the force of blood flowing through your blood vessels is too high.

A lot of old and young people are affected by this disease. You can reduce your blood pressure by some lifestyle choices

1. Exercise
Regular exercise can help lower your blood pressure. Spend time every day taking a walk. It will make your heart stronger by pumping blood and reducing the pressure in your arteries.

2. Learn to live without stress
Living with stress causes your blood pressure to rise. Stress increases your heart rate and constricts your blood vessels

Practice breathing exercises, take a break, listen to soothing music. Do whatever you can to reduce the stress in your life.

Eating food that contains a lot of salt or sodium is bad for you if you are hypertensive.

Watch out for these 5 Red flags before you do business with any social media vendor

Posted: 22 Aug 2021 03:30 AM PDT

You have to be careful when shopping on social media, it is so easy to fall into many pitfalls.

One of the most popular platforms for entrepreneurs is Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp.

Entrepreneur put beautiful pictures of their merchandise, all you have to do is send a direct message, and the goods will be delivered to you.

I spoke with an Instagram user Tomi, who was strolling through her Instagram page when she saw a shoe she liked.

She sent a message asking how much it costs, and she was told the price. She transferred the money and according to her, "Till today I have not gotten the shoe."

Here are some of the red flags to look out for

Send a DM for the price
This is a huge red flag. Why would you ask people to direct message for the price when they can just display it? There should be a consistent price for everything.

A new account
If you are sending money to a new social media account then, the joke is really on you. Because they probably scammed others in their former account and just opened a new one.

The products on the page are not theirs
If a vendor is posting pictures of goods that do not belong to them, that is a crime and a big red flag.

No one you know has bought from them
Reviews are so important, so always make sure you know someone who has gotten goods from them.

They have no address or website
So where do you go if you want to refund whatever you've bought? Most online platforms with a website are usually but not always secured.

People buy goods on social media platforms probably because the pictures are enticing. However, before sending money to anyone, do an appropriate survey and make sure you don't share your bank details like your BVN, passwords or card numbers to social media accounts.

How to take care of your hair after applying dye

Posted: 22 Aug 2021 03:00 AM PDT

Natural Hair Girl is a content series that follows a natural hair journey and provides solutions on how to cope with it.

There are things you need to do to protect your dyed natural hair to prevent breakage and dryness.

Nowadays, more people are dying their natural hair, but doing so without care will cause the hair to start looking lifeless, dry, and lackluster.

Bleach or dye can harm the hair if not well taken care of.

If you recently dyed your hair, then do the following to keep it fresh.

1. Avoid washing your hair too regularly. Once is two weeks is enough.

2. Treat your hair gently. Your dyed hair is more fragile than your natural hair. Be careful when washing, styling, or detangling. Use products that would work for sensitive hair.

3. Moisturize your hair well. Apply a lot of oil, like jojoba oil and argan oil to your hair. Do it thoroughly from the root to the tip.

4. Use a good conditioner to deep condition your hair, preferably one that contains shea butter and Vitamin E. You should also get a deep conditioning spray. Make sure you buy a conditioner that is good for colored hair. Apply the deep conditioner treatment for about half an hour.

5. Use protein-based treatments. This will help treat your hair if you notice that it is falling out due to cuticle damage. These treatments will fill in whatever gaps are created by dyeing your hair.

6. Use the nighttime to take proper care of your hair, apply enough oil on your hair, part it, plait it and wear a silk bonnet or scarf.

7. Dyeing your hair can be cool and beautiful but make sure you take extra care of it. If you notice the color fading away or your hair falling out, you should reconsider treating your hair or dyeing it back to its original color.

The health benefits of coconut water are amazing

Posted: 22 Aug 2021 02:00 AM PDT

The resulting water becomes completely pure and sterile, and this is one of the reasons why it can be used for blood transfusions.

There are not many fruits in the world that can compete with coconut when it comes to matters of nutritional value.

From the oil to the milk, coupled with its skin and water, each component of coconut has its own miraculous health benefits.

And when combined together, there's no doubting the fact that they can become lifesaving.

However, in other not to split our attention, we shall concern ourselves today with just the health benefits of coconut water.

According to scientific studies, coconut is a natural water filter which takes almost nine months to filter every quart of water stored within its shell.

Owing to this, the resulting water becomes completely pure and sterile, and this is one of the reasons why it can be used for blood transfusions.

It is also important to note that coconut water has the highest concentration of electrolytes than anything else found in nature.

Electrolytes, on the other hand, are responsible for keeping the body properly hydrated so the muscles and nerves can function appropriately.

With this in mind, it is safe to state that it is more beneficial and a hundred times healthier, to drink the water from a young coconut rather than those chemicalized energy drinks, after an intense workout.

Here are some of the lifesaving benefits of coconut water

1. It reduces blood pressure
Studies have shown that coconut water is a great beverage for keeping blood pressure under check. And this was observed when coconut water was given to people with high blood pressure.

The result of the exercise would see 71% experiencing significant improvements in systolic blood pressure, which is the higher number of a blood pressure reading.

Apart from the result of the above study, coconut water is known to contain an impressive 600 mg of potassium in 8 oz (240 ml), and potassium has been shown to lower blood pressure in people with high or normal blood pressure.

2. It cleanses and detoxifies the body system
Naturally, our bodies are bestowed with the ability to do their cleansing and detoxification on their own. But this ability can be weakened if the body is not provided with the correct nutrients and hydration.

Because inadequate hydration leads to the build-up of toxins in our bodies as the liver and kidneys, which are the detoxifying organs, will not be able to function properly.

Of course, water is great; but sometimes more than water is necessary. And no better substitute can we find for water other than coconut water.

Owing to the electrolyte it contains, coconut water is an ideal beverage that does not only help replace fluids but also helps with the removal of toxins from the body.

3. It helps kidney function
A good number of our diets are high in sodium and low in potassium. And one of the disadvantages of sodium is that it puts a lot of stress on the kidneys because it promotes fluid retention.

In other words, the high presence of Sodium causes the kidneys to work harder in other to eliminate excess water.

While potassium, which is contained in coconut, acts as a diuretic; helping the kidneys flush out water.

It is important to note that a single cup of coconut water can provide enough potassium to keep the kidneys in good health, as its diuretic effect is beneficial in preventing kidney stones.

Here's 5 ways you can add weight naturally

Posted: 22 Aug 2021 01:30 AM PDT

If you want to gain weight, it's very important to do it right. Here are 5 ways you can add weight naturally and most importantly, safely.

Binging on fatty foods and soft drinks may help you gain weight, but it can destroy your health at the same time.

If you're underweight, you want to gain a balanced amount of muscle mass and subcutaneous fat rather than a lot of unhealthy belly fat.

There are plenty of normal-weight people who develop diabetes, heart disease and health complications due to obesity. Therefore, even though you want to put on weight, you have to make sure you eat healthy foods and still lead a healthy lifestyle.

Here are 5 valuable tips on how to put on weight and still keep your health intact!

1. Eat lots of protein
The important nutrient for gaining weight is protein. Muscle is made up of protein and without it most of those extra calories will simply turn into fat. Studies have shown that taking eating a high-protein diet can cause extra calories to turn into muscle.

However, keep in mind that protein is a double-edged sword. It's also highly filling, which may reduce your hunger and appetite significantly, making it harder to get in enough calories.

High-protein diets include meats, fish, eggs, many dairy products, legumes, nuts and others. Protein supplements are pricey but they are also effective towards putting on weight.

2. Load up on carbs
Many people try cutting down on carbs and fat when trying to lose weight. However, if you want to gain weight, cutting out these food groups will make it more difficult to add pounds.

Ensure you add high-carb and high-fat foods to your diet if weight gain is your final goal. You should be eating lots of protein, fat and carbs at each meal.

It is also a bad idea to do intermittent fasting. This is useful for weight loss and health improvement but can make it much harder to eat enough calories to gain weight.

Eat at least 3 square meals a day to help work towards your weight gain goals.

3. Lift heavy
To make sure that the excess calories go to your muscles instead of just turning into fat, when at the gym you should focus on strength training not just cardio.

Try and go to the gym and lift 2–4 times per week. Lift heavy and try to increase the weights and volume over time. If you need help easing into it at first, try hiring a personal trainer.

Doing some cardio is fine to improve fitness and well-being, but don't do so much that you end up burning all the additional calories you're eating.

4. Milk powder
Instant milk powder is a simple way to bulk up your meals, from sauces to soup. Simply stir in the powder while you're cooking. Wait for it to dissolve before you serve the dish.

Milk powder can make your dish creamier and has the much-needed calories to help you get closer to your goal.

5. Use peanut butter
Peanuts are packed with protein and fat. It offers an ideal meal portion for people trying to gain weight naturally. A single tablespoon of peanut butter has around 100 calories.

Peanut butter also contains vitamins like magnesium, folic acids, Vitamin B and Vitamin E. Apply a thick layer of peanut butter to a whole wheat bread for a healthy breakfast and to boost up your calorie intake.

Yeni, Seun Kuti Blast Baba Ani -"You Are A Liar"

Posted: 22 Aug 2021 01:00 AM PDT

Following Baba Ani's allegation against Femi Kuti, prominent members of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti's family, Yeni and Seun Kuti, have responded.

Lekan Animashaun, aka Baba Ani and former Fela's band manager who recently celebrated his 85th birthday, had alleged in an interview with Arise TV that Femi barred him from entering The New Afrika Shrine because he refused to join his (Femi's) band. Baba Ani said he preferred to work with Seun since Femi was not someone he would love to work with.

His words: "I was banned from entering the shrine by Femi. When Fela died, and Beko, who was then the manager of the band, was in prison. On two occasions, Femi called me privately, asking me if I was going to join him, or his uncle and Seun. So, I told him that you are the most senior son of Fela, and everything Fela left behind is in your hands. I was not cool with the questions.

"As time went by, he saw that I was more with Seun and the Egypt 80 band… Mind you, this is a young man I know very well. So, I decided to go with Seun. I was mentoring Seun, even before Fela died. So, I think that was my offense.

"The very first day at the Egypt 80 band, because there was a quarrel and they had to go to court, the judge in charge of the case settled the matter in the chambers, and somewhere along the line, Seun was asked to start coming to play at the shrine.

"On the very first day the band was going to play there, I got to Kalakuta, Fela's house in Ikeja. I went upstairs to meet Seun and he told me he wouldn't like me to be present at the show. I asked why, he said anytime he was discussing with his egbons (sic), and he mentioned his name, what they used to say was unprintable. So, please don't go with the band, and he assured me that I would be paid regardless.

"When he got to the shrine that night, they went upstairs in his office to greet him, and he was so annoyed. Looking for his gun. He started to hurl insults at me. Somewhere along with his rant, he told the boys to tell me not to show my face at the shrine anytime. Since that time, I had not gone there as well, I was banned from entering the shrine."

Baba Ani not only stirred the hornet's nest with that viral interview but also elicited responses from Yeni Kuti, the eldest child of the Afrobeat legend and Seun Kuti. Both of them have rallied around Femi and stood with the family.

Yeni, who expressed her displeasure at the allegation, said Baba Ani was one of the divisive forces that tried to tear Fela's family apart after her father's demise, adding that all what he said in that interview were outright lies. Yeni made this disclosure in a Facebook post.

"I feel that what has been going on on different platforms on social media deserves a comment from me as the eldest of the Kuti children.
 
"When Fela died, a lot of people tried to push their own agendas and for a while succeeded in dividing the family. It took a lot of wisdom and patience from Femi and I as the eldest of Fela to bring peace again to the family.

"We faced many challenges, from abuse in the media, face to face and in many other ways. Our Creator surpassed them all and today except for little wrangling in the family we are at peace and we are one.

"I will not bother to go into some of the challenges we faced but I will say that I am surprised that one of the perpetrators and feeders of the 'war' in the family has come up to give a narrative of outright lies instead of being an elder and trying to make things right, is trying to fan once again flames of discord.

"As long as I am alive I will continue to make sure they fail. The Kuti family remain a United family. May Our Creator continue to bless everyone who has stood by us. I rest my case @femiakuti @bigbirdkuti @madekuti @kunle.a.kuti @motunrayoanikulapokuti."

However, Seun Kuti, Afrobeat musician leader of the Egypt 80 band has also lent his voice to the Kuti's family response. In a response he posted on Facebook, not only did he debunk Baba Ani's allegations, he also said he stands with his family and elder brother.

"It has come to my attention that some stories are occupying social media due to what Baba Ani alleged. That is what it is, an allegation not totally factual.

"My family and I decided years ago to let peace reign, I have spoken to Baba Ani several times too. I'm shocked he has decided to open up old wounds and fabricate the truth. And as I have pointed out to him I stand with my family and brother Femi Anikulapo-Kuti," he wrote.

BBNaija 2021: Maria Reacted As Michael Opened Up On Why He Can Sleep With Angel

Posted: 22 Aug 2021 12:30 AM PDT

The housemates had a pool party after they successfully completed the task assigned to them by their headline sponsor. Big Brother was impressed by their presentation, thus he allowed them to have a pool party and spend some quality time together in the Jacuzzi.

After the pool party, Pere, Maria and Michael sat down to have heart to heart conversation about their relationships in the house. During their conversation, Michael informed his fellow housemates that he has seen some seductive signals from some female housemates, precisely Angel.

He said he observed that Angel is really into him and if he wants to sleep with her, she would not reject his advances. After making this revelation, Maria was forced to ask him why he does not want to seize the opportunity to be with Angel.

Michael told them that he likes Jackie B a lot more than Angel and he does not want to jeopardize his chances with her. He also emphasized the fact that if he makes love to Angel once, she would not able to able get herself off him again. He says that she would remain glued to him and he doesn't want that because Jackie B is the one he wanted.

Just like Michael said, there was a scenario that happened between Angel and Michael after a particular Saturday night party. Angel was quite intimate with Michael after the party and she nearly locked lips with him but Michael rejected her advances.
 
He said "Don't play with me girl. Angel, stop playing with me. I know that you are playing with me and I don't like that". Angel then told him that "just tell me to leave and I will go immediately". Michael told her right away that he wants her to leave and Angel leaves instantly.

He told Pere and Maria that he still sees that Angel is still into him and he is confident that he could get into bed with her if he wants. He is avoiding her basically because Jackie B is the one he wants and not her.
